As used in these Terms, the words "you" and "your" refer to you, the user of the SafeStart Service. The use of the word "including" in these Terms is used to refer to specific examples will be construed to mean "including, without limitation" or "including but not limited to" and will not be construed to mean that the examples given are an exclusive list of the topics covered. These Terms apply to the SafeStart website and mobile applications (the "Site") and the asynchronous telemedicine communication service we offer on the Site (together with the Site, the "Service"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Service, so please carefully read them before using the Service.
By using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. In that case, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization.
The following is a brief summary of these Terms:
The Service is a tool to facilitate the creation of a patient's personal health record and/or facilitate secure asynchronous communication between a medical patient and his or her existing team of Medical Professionals. By accepting the Terms, the patient and Medical Professional agree to this.
For purposes of sharing medical information between a Medical Professionals:
If at any time you are concerned about your, or your child's, care or the treatment prescribed by a healthcare professional through the Service, or you believe or someone else advises you that you or your child has or suspect that you or your child has a serious or life-threatening condition, call 911 in areas in which that service is available or go to the nearest emergency room or open clinic.
You authorize SafeStart to share the health information contained in patient's SafeStart profile, in part or in its entirety, with those entities and individuals, and colleagues for the purpose of medical treatment.
If the patient is under the age of 18, SafeStart requires you to have the legal right to make health care related decisions on behalf of the minor patient. In using the service you certify that you are authorized by law to make health care related decisions on behalf of the minor patient including having the right to upload imagery of the minor patient to assist the physician's diagnosis and treatment of the minor patient.

Your use of the Service is also governed by the SafeStart Business Associate Agreement, Privacy Policy, Security Policy and Acceptable Use Policy - all of which are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

It is your responsibility to review these Terms from time to time for any changes. If you use the Service after we have changed any of the Terms, you are agreeing to all of the changes.

It is the responsibility of the patient to follow the advice of their Medical Professional and arrange any and all follow up in-office or online communication that is requested by the Medical Professional.

This site does not provide medical or any other health care advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your Medical Professional or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, diet, fitness or wellness program. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of information you accessed on or through the service.

While we assume no responsibility to monitor content that you and others make available, we retain the right to remove any content at our discretion.
The Service requires you to register by creating a user account. You must complete the registration process by providing your HCP with current, complete and accurate information. This means that you may not set up an account using someone else's name or contact information, unless you are a parent or legal guardian setting up and maintaining an account for your child, and in no event may you set up an account using a phony name or phony contact information. You also will be required to choose a password and/or a PIN.

You will be liable for losses and damages incurred by us (or anyone else) due to the unauthorized use of your account.
AS A PATIENT: It is your duty to provide true, accurate, current and complete personal information, including your current contact information and medical records, which are necessary for us to provide the Service to you.
You must not make any misrepresentations in the information you provide to SafeStart or your team of Medical Professionals. In order for the Service to function effectively, you must also keep your account information up-to-date and accurate.

You warrant and represent to us that you either own all the information you are submitting or have the right to submit the information.

We may revise these Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on our website. We may communicate revisions to these Terms to you via email to the email address associated with your account or via notices displayed on the Site. By continuing to access or use the Service after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Service.
These Terms, together with any additional terms and conditions as indicated on the Site or via the Service, constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and SafeStart with respect to the Service, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Service. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. SafeStart's failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but SafeStart may assign its rights without restriction. SafeStart and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.
These terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service, Site, or the content in the Service. The Software and other technology we use to provide the Service are protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws.
If you give feedback on the Service, such as recommendations for improvements or features, you hereby assign to SafeStart all right, title and interest in and to such feedback, and that feedback may be implemented as part of the Service without compensation to you.

We may terminate or suspend your permission to use the Service immediately and without notice upon any violation of these Terms, your failure to pay any fees when due, upon the request of law enforcement or government agencies, after extended periods of inactivity, for unexpected technical issues or problems, or in the event you engage in fraudulent or illegal activities. We also reserve the right to refuse, restrict, discontinue or terminate the Service (or any portions, components or features of the Service) to you or any other person or entity, for any reason or for no reason whatsoever, at any time, without notice or liability. If we terminate your use of the Service for any of these reasons or otherwise for cause, we will not refund any fees you may have paid.
You acknowledge that temporary interruptions in the availability of the Service may occur from time to time, including the malfunction of equipment, periodic updating, maintenance or repair of the Service or other actions that SafeStart, in its sole discretion, may elect to take.

If you do not wish to be bound by the foregoing class-action waiver, you must notify SafeStart in writing within 30 days of the date that you accept these Terms. Your written notification must be mailed to: Single Point of Truth, LLC, ATTN: legal 211 East Ontario, Suite 1195, Chicago, IL 60611.
Notices to you may be sent via email or provided through links displayed on the Site. You understand and agree that notices and other information ("Communications") may be provided by SafeStart to you by electronic means (i.e., via email or by posting the information on the Site). The categories of Communications that may be provided by electronic means include:
You agree to promptly update your account records with SafeStart if your email address changes so that SafeStart may contact you electronically. You understand and agree that if we send you an electronic Communication but you do not receive it because the email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, SafeStart will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you.
Although we reserve the right to provide Communications in paper format at any time, you agree that we are under no obligation to do so. All Communications in either electronic or paper format will be considered to be "in writing." You should print a paper copy of these Terms and any Communication that is important to you and retain the copy for your records. If you do not wish to receive these Terms or the Communications electronically, you may not use the Service.
If you have opened an account with us and you wish to withdraw your consent to have Communications provided electronically, you must close your account and stop using the Service. There are no fees to close your account, but a return data-handling fee may apply.
If you would like to contact us to provide feedback, comments or requests for technical support, you should contact us through our customer support department at contact@safestartmedical.com
The below, Business Associate Agreement, binds only Covered Entities, including Medical Professionals and the health care organization to which they belong. The Business Associate Agreement does not apply to Users who are patients.
This is the standard Business Associate Agreement (BAA) that SafeStart offers to all Covered Entity Users. We are willing to negotiate terms of the Business Associate Agreement with any Covered Entity. In order to negotiate new terms to a BAA, we are willing to do so at an appropriate fee of no less than USD $5000.
We recognize that many Covered Entities have their own contracting requirements, and that our click-through BAA is not a one-size-fits-all document. We offer the ability for customers to negotiate our standard form BAA with us, within certain boundaries and on the terms and conditions set forth below. We will aim to be as flexible as we can, but we also recognize that, because of the wide variance in risk tolerances and different sensitivities attached to different types of health information, our product, and the terms under which it is offered, will not be suitable for all organizations. Subject to the payment of the $3,000 non-refundable fee, we will engage in good faith negotiations with you to put in place a BAA specific to your entity. However, as with any contractual negotiations, we cannot guarantee that an agreement will be reached.
