The number of non‑trial Authorized Users may be increased at any time in accordance with §5(d) (License Adjustments), and all increases become part of the Minimum License Commitment through the end of the then‑current Term.
(b) Documentation License. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, CarePilot hereby grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, nontransferable (except in compliance with Section 11(g)) license to use the Documentation during the Term solely for Customer's internal business purposes in connection with its use of the Services.

Except for the limited rights and licenses expressly granted under this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement grants, by implication, waiver, estoppel, or otherwise, to Customer or any third party any intellectual property rights or other right, title, or interest in or to the CarePilot IP.
(e) Suspension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, CarePilot may temporarily suspend Customer's and any Authorized User's access to any portion or all of the Services if: (i) CarePilot reasonably determines that (A) there is a threat or attack on any of the CarePilot IP; (B) Customer's or any Authorized User's use of the CarePilot IP disrupts or poses a security risk to the CarePilot IP or to any other customer or vendor of CarePilot; (C) Customer, or any Authorized User, is using the CarePilot IP for fraudulent or illegal activities or in a manner not authorized by this Agreement; (D) subject to applicable law, Customer has ceased to continue its business in the ordinary course, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar disposition of its assets, or become the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, or similar proceeding; or (E) CarePilot's provision of the Services to Customer or any Authorized User is prohibited by applicable law; (ii) any vendor of CarePilot has suspended or terminated CarePilot's access to or use of any third-party services or products required to enable Customer to access the Services; or (iii) in accordance with Section 5(a)(iii) (any such suspension described in subclause (i), (ii), or (iii), a "Service Suspension"). CarePilot shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice of any Service Suspension to Customer and to provide updates regarding resumption of access to the Services following any Service Suspension. CarePilot shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume providing access to the Services as soon as reasonably possible after the event giving rise to the Service Suspension is cured. CarePilot will have no liability for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits), or any other consequences that Customer or any Authorized User may incur as a result of a Service Suspension.
(f) HIPAA Obligations.
(i) The Parties acknowledge and agree that CarePilot is a "Business Associate" of Customer (as such term is defined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended from time to time ("HIPAA")). As such, CarePilot shall comply with HIPAA (and all applicable regulations) and the terms and conditions of the Business Associate Addendum ("BAA"), available at the URL identified in the Cover Sheet and incorporated by reference herein (referred to in this Agreement as Exhibit A).

Customer shall be solely responsible for obtaining any and all necessary authorizations and consents from patients prior to using the Services.
HIPAA Data Retention. Customer shall be solely responsible for complying with its obligations requiring it to maintain records of transactions. In no event does CarePilot accept responsibility for Customer's obligations under HIPAA or other applicable state or federal law, rule or regulation for data retention. Customer agrees that it is not delegating any document retention responsibilities under HIPAA or any other state or federal law, rule or regulation to CarePilot.
3. Customer Responsibilities.
(a) General. Customer is responsible and liable for all uses of the Services and Documentation resulting from access provided by Customer, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer is responsible for all acts and omissions of Authorized Users, and any act or omission by an Authorized User that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if taken by Customer will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to make all Authorized Users aware of this Agreement's provisions as applicable to such Authorized User's use of the Services, and shall cause Authorized Users to comply with such provisions.
(b) Responsibility for Output. Customer and its Authorized Users are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of the Output. Given the probabilistic nature of machine learning, use of the Services may in some situations result in incorrect Output. Customer shall evaluate the accuracy of the Output as appropriate to its legal and ethical obligations, including by using human review of the Output.
(c) Third-Party Products. CarePilot may from time to time make Third-Party Products available to Customer. For purposes of this Agreement, such Third-Party Products are subject to their own terms and conditions. If Customer does not agree to abide by the applicable terms for any such Third-Party Products, then Customer should not install or use such Third-Party Products.
4. Support. The access and use rights granted hereunder entitle Customer to the support services described from time to time on CarePilot's website one year following the Effective Date under this Agreement and thereafter, solely if Customer purchases additional support services.
5. Fees and Payment.
(a) Fees. During the Trial Term, Customer shall pay CarePilot the fees ("Trial Fees") as (and if) specified in the Cover Sheet. During the Initial Term, Customer shall pay CarePilot the fees ("Fees") as set forth in the Cover Sheet without offset or deduction. If Customer fails to make any payment when due, without limiting CarePilot's other rights and remedies: (i) CarePilot may charge interest on the past due amount at the rate of 1.5% per month calculated daily and compounded monthly or, if lower, the highest rate permitted under applicable law; (ii) Customer shall reimburse CarePilot for all reasonable costs incurred by CarePilot in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys' fees, court costs, and collection agency fees; and (iii) if such failure continues for sixty (60) days or more, CarePilot may suspend Customer's and its Authorized Users' access to any portion or all of the Services until such amounts are paid in full.
(b) Taxes. All Fees and other amounts payable by Customer under this Agreement are exclusive of taxes and similar assessments. Customer is responsible for all sales, use, and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties, and charges of any kind imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental or regulatory authority on any amounts payable by Customer hereunder, other than any taxes imposed on CarePilot's income.
(c) Auditing Rights and Required Records. Customer agrees to maintain complete and accurate records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles during the Term and for a period of two years after the termination or expiration of this Agreement with respect to matters necessary for accurately determining amounts due hereunder. CarePilot may, at its own expense, on reasonable prior notice, periodically inspect and audit Customer's records with respect to matters covered by this Agreement, provided that if such inspection and audit reveals that Customer has underpaid CarePilot with respect to any amounts due and payable during the Term, Customer shall promptly pay the amounts necessary to rectify such underpayment, together with interest in accordance with Section 5(a).
(d) License Adjustments. Customer may increase the license count at any time. Each increase (an 'Added License') is co‑termed with the then‑current Term and prorated for the time remaining (partial month by days; each remaining full month at the then‑applicable per‑user rate). Added Licenses become part of the Minimum License Commitment and may be reduced only effective upon renewal.
(e) No Commitment until Mutual Acceptance. No Initial Term arises, and no Minimum License Commitment exists unless and until the Parties reach Mutual Acceptance. Continued use of the Services after the Trial End, without Mutual Acceptance, does not create an Initial Term.
(f) Trial Payment Method. The Trial Payment Method may be used solely for Trial Fees. It will not be used for any Initial Term charges unless Customer re‑designates it as the payment method after Mutual Acceptance.
6. Warranties.
(a) Compliance with Law. CarePilot represents, warrants and covenants, that upon Customer's execution of this Agreement and throughout the term of this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder will be fully compliant with applicable federal, and state laws, rules, and regulations.
(b) No Excluded Parties. CarePilot, on behalf of itself and its principals, employees, directors, officers and shareholders, represents and warrants that (a) it has not been convicted of a criminal offense related to health care; and/or (b) it is not currently listed by a federal or state agency as debarred, excluded or otherwise ineligible for participation in federally or state funded health care programs. CarePilot agrees that it will immediately notify Customer in the event that it, or any person in its employ, has been excluded, debarred, or has otherwise become ineligible for participation in any Federal or state health care program. Such change in circumstances shall constitute cause for the Customer to immediately terminate this Agreement.
7. Data Security.
(a) Confidential Information. From time to time during the Term, either Party may disclose or make available to the other Party non-public information about its business affairs, products, confidential intellectual property, trade secrets, third-party confidential information, and other sensitive or proprietary information, whether orally or in written, electronic, or other form or media/in written or electronic form or media, and whether or not marked, designated, or otherwise identified as "confidential" (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Confidential Information does not include information that, at the time of disclosure is: (a) in the public domain; (b) known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (c) rightfully obtained by the receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party; or (d) independently developed by the receiving Party. The receiving Party shall not disclose the disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the receiving Party's employees who have a need to know the Confidential Information for the receiving Party to exercise its rights or perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required (i) in order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or (ii) to establish a Party's rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed. Each Party's obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective Date and will expire five years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.
