Third Party Disputes
You are solely responsible for any activities related to your independent verification of health insurance information, whether or not performed through the Services. SystemsTX reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with third party disputes, including, but not limited to, disputes between individuals and health insurance companies, individuals and health care practices, and health insurance companies and health care practices. If you have a dispute with one or more third parties, you release SystemsTX and its officers, subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies, joint ventures, any other corporate entities under common ownership, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, service providers, suppliers, employees, and employers from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such third party disputes, including, without limitation, any intellectual property dispute or any dispute over health insurance information.
- Force Majeure
SystemsTX shall not be liable for any delay or failure to provide the Services resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of SystemsTX, including without limitation any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond SystemsTX control such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.
- Indemnity and Hold Harmless
By using these Services you agree that you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SystemsTX, together with its subsidiaries, affiliates, parent companies, joint ventures, any other corporate entities under common ownership, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, service providers, suppliers, employees, and employers, from and against all the liabilities, liens, actions, claims, costs, taxes, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) if any third party brings a claim against SystemsTX in connection with, or arising out of (i) your breach of the Terms and Conditions; (ii) your violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States or any other country; (iii) your infringement or violation of the rights of any third parties (including intellectual property rights); (iv) your use of the Services; (v) any other party’s access and use of the Services with your account credentials or other appropriate security feature; or (vi) violation of any laws related to the HIPAA. SystemsTX reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and, in such case, you shall agree to cooperate with SystemsTX’s defense of such claim.
Arbitration
We look forward to a long and mutually productive relationship with you. However, if you become dissatisfied for any reason with the fees charged or the Services, we encourage you to bring that to our attention immediately. It is our belief that most such problems can be resolved by good faith discussions between the parties. Nevertheless, it is always possible that some dispute may arise which cannot be resolved by discussions between us. We believe that such disputes can be resolved more expeditiously and with less expense to all concerned by binding arbitration than by court proceedings.
Any dispute between you and SystemsTX (including, without limitation, any individual currently employed or formerly employed by SystemsTX) shall, at the sole discretion of SystemsTX, be subject to binding arbitration. In addition, all questions regarding the arbitrability of the dispute, including whether you and/or SystemsTX has agreed to arbitrate the dispute, shall be decided by such arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate all disputes between us applies even if some person or entity claims that this Agreement is void, voidable or unenforceable for any reason. By agreeing to arbitrate, all parties are waiving jury trial.
The arbitration shall be held in Broward County, Florida, before a mutually acceptable arbitrator, pursuant to the rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. You consent to personal jurisdiction in Florida and venue in Broward County in any action, and agree to waive the right to proceed in any other jurisdiction or forum concerning a dispute between the parties or relating to this Agreement. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination of the Services or this Agreement.
- Miscellaneous
This Agreement, including the Data Collection and Privacy Statement, and/or the Business Associate Agreement, together with any additional terms to which you agree when using any aspect of these Services constitute the entire agreement regarding the Services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral or written between you and us with respect to the Services. You agree that these Terms and Conditions are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, regardless of principles of conflict/choice of laws that may require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. If a court determines that any term or condition in these Terms and Conditions is illegal or unenforceable, then such term will be eliminated and the remaining terms and conditions will remain in force and effect.
No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to SystemsTX upon any breach or default by User under the Agreements shall impair any such right, power or remedy of SystemsTX, nor shall any such delay or omission be construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring, nor shall any waiver of a single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude the exercise of any other right or any other remedy at law or in equity. Except as expressly and specifically set forth in these Terms and Conditions, no representations, statements, consents, waivers, or other acts or omissions by SystemsTX shall be deemed a modification of these Terms and Conditions nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by You and a duly appointed officer of SystemsTX.
If any provision of the Agreements is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreements remain in full force and effect. All lawsuits arising from or relating to the Agreements shall be brought in a competent Federal or State court of Florida, and you hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose.
The Terms and Conditions described in the Agreements shall be considered to be the complete and exclusive statement of the understanding between User and SystemsTX, and cancels and supersedes all earlier promises, representations, discussions or agreements, written and oral, between the parties which relate in any way to the Services. To the extent there is any inconsistency between any obligations and rights in the Agreements, the latest issued provision shall prevail over the provision issued earlier in time. To the extent the provisions were issued contemporaneously, the terms and conditions herein shall prevail.
The terms and conditions in the Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of User and its permitted successors and assigns (subject to any other provision in the Agreements), and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of SystemsTX and its successors and assigns.
