CHARGEGRABBER APPLICATION SERVICE PROVIDER AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Provider is a provider of services that permits users to use and access a Web-based software application known as “ChargeGrabber” (the “Product”); and
WHEREAS, Customer desires to engage Provider to perform certain services, and to provide Customer with direct access to the Product through Provider’s Web site (the “Product Site”); and
WHEREAS, Provider desires to provide certain services to Customer and to host the Product Site, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
- Access. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, upon the execution of this Agreement and a mutually acceptable Business Associate Agreement (the “Business Associate Agreement”) by both parties, Provider will provide Customer with a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use and access the Product Site for its own internal use for the Term of this Agreement.
- Term. This Agreement will commence upon the Effective Date and, unless terminated earlier as provided herein, will continue for a period of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). Upon expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for an additional one (1) year renewal term (each, a “Renewal Term” and, together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless either party gives the other party written notice of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the then current Term.
- Support and Maintenance.
- Standard Support and Maintenance. During the Term of this Agreement, provided that Customer is current in its payment of fees under this Agreement, Provider will provide Customer with its standard technical support and maintenance, at no additional charge. Standard technical support and maintenance will include the following:
- Provider support personnel will be available to provide support and assistance to Customer via telephone and e‑mail during Provider’s normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday - Friday, national holidays excepted);
- Provider will implement all enhancements, updates and upgrades to the Product and the Product Site that Provider makes generally and commercially available to other customers without charging Customer any additional fee; and
- Provider will implement standard error correction and maintenance modifications to the Product and the Product Site.
- Out-of-Scope Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Provider makes a reasonable business determination that the technical support requested by Customer pursuant to this Section are outside the scope of the support and maintenance services provided hereunder and/or would entail detailed, specialized maintenance and/or support services different in kind or amount from those provided to other similar customers of the Product (including without limitation assistance to enable the interfacing or operation with a non-supported, unusual or proprietary system), then Provider will notify Customer that the requested support is considered an additional service which will be subject to additional fees, to be negotiated.
- Other Services. Provider will also: (i) be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to monitor and maintain the host servers and to provide substantially continuous connectivity, availability and operation of the Product Site; and (ii) provide training, for the fees set forth in Exhibit A hereto, to designated staff of Customer to enable Customer to use the Product and the Product Site.
- Security. Provider, or its hosting partner, will offer access to the Product Site using the Internet, by hosting its application. Provider, or its hosting partner, will operate and maintain the Product server (the “Server”) in good working order, with access restricted to qualified employees or contractors of Provider. Provider, or its hosting partner, will employ commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security, confidentiality and integrity of all Customer Data (as hereinafter defined) and other proprietary information transmitted through or stored on the Server, including without limitation: (i) maintenance of independent archival and backup copies of the Product Site and all Customer Data; and (ii) protection from any network attack and other malicious, harmful or disabling data, work, code or program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer will be fully responsible: (A) for the patient data that is entered into and displayed through the Product; and (B) for restricting access to the Product and the confidential patient data stored therein to only Customer’s authorized personnel.
- Assistance From Customer. Customer agrees to make available appropriate personnel to advise Provider in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and to provide Provider with any Customer Data required for the successful operation and/or functioning of the Product and/or the Product Site.
- Downtime. Customer and Provider acknowledge and agree that the ability to provide trouble-free operation of the Product Site is dependent on a combination of factors, including without limitation, reliability, proper hardware configuration, including backup hardware configurations, backup power sources and backup communication facilities, a virus-free environment, appropriate system backup procedures, and Customer’s adherence to Provider’s recommended practices and procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer understands and acknowledges that, from time to time, the Product and the Product Site may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including without limitation equipment malfunctions, upgrades or modifications, or causes beyond the control of Provider which are not reasonably foreseeable by Provider, including without limitation interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks or network congestion or other failures (collectively, “Downtime”). Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of the Product Site and, in the case of any scheduled Downtime, if reasonably practicable, Provider will provide Customer with at least twenty-four (24) hour advance notice, unless a shorter period of time is necessary or appropriate under the circumstances, as reasonably determined by Provider, in its discretion.
- Internet Software. Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining, installing and maintaining such software as may be necessary to enable Customer to access the Internet and for obtaining its own Internet connection.
- Acceptance of Product Site. Customer will have two (2) business days from the date of activation to formally accept the Product and the terms of this Agreement. Customer’s failure to notify Provider that it does not accept the Product within such period will automatically constitute acceptance.
- Payment Terms.
- Fees. In consideration of the grant of rights set forth in this Agreement, Customer agrees to pay to Provider the fees set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
- Late Payments. Any sum not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1½%) per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, if less. If Customer should fail to pay any sum owed hereunder by the due date, Provider has the right to suspend Customer’s ability to access the Product until such time as Customer has paid in full the balance due. If Customer should fail to pay any sum required to be paid under this Agreement within thirty (30) days after its due date, then Provider may, upon written notice to Customer, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.
- Rate Increases. Provider may increase any of the fees set forth on Exhibit A hereto by giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Customer; provided, however, that no such fee increase will be effective for at least one (1) year from the Effective Date.
- Taxes. The fees to be paid under this Agreement do not include any federal, state or local sales, use or other taxes arising from or relating to this Agreement, or any other taxes or duties whether presently in force or imposed in the future, all of which taxes and/or duties shall be assumed and paid by Customer (other than income or franchise taxes imposed on Provider). The amount of any such taxes may be included in invoices issued by Provider. If further taxes are determined to be payable, Customer shall promptly pay them upon demand by Provider. If Customer is exempt from the payment of any such taxes, Customer shall provide Provider with a valid tax exemption certificate.
- Proprietary Rights.
