Activate Care Terms of Service

Annual Review: August 23, 2024

Scope

Accountable Care Transactions, Inc. ("Activate Care," "we," "us," "our") believes that everybody engaged in the healthcare system - clinicians, patients, families, and communities - can act together to make health happen, wherever they are. Our products and services offer a better approach to managing many of healthcare’s complex tasks.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to, and use of our products and services, including our web-based Activate Care Care Coordination Platform; our websites; applications; definitions, protocols, and tools for building applications; documentation; and training materials (collectively, the "Services").

Consent

Please read these Terms carefully. You agree to these Terms by using the Services.
If you are using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, your use certifies to us that an authorized person from your organization has accepted this Policy on your behalf, and that you are authorized to use the Services.

Changes to these Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The changes will not be retroactive, and the most current version of the Terms, which will always be at https://go.activatecare.com/pages/terms, will govern. We will try to notify you of material revisions, for example via a Service notification or an email if you have an Account. We will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review. By continuing to access or use the Services after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

Access to and use of the services

Accounts
Some portions of the Services, such as our public websites, may be accessed without a user account ("Account"). For most Services, users are required to create an Account to use the Services. An Account may include your username, password, and other personally identifiable information. You are responsible for all activity that occurs via your Account. Please notify your Account administrator or Activate Care immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized Account use.
Types of Users
Users fall into four categories.
Account Control
User Accounts are linked to Customers who pay us subscription fees. In general, Customers decide who may establish User Accounts under their control. Customers may delegate Account control to care team administrators. Customers may allow others, such as a Patient, or care team administrator, to invite others to the Services. If you receive an invitation to establish an Account, it is because an authorized person wants you to participate in a Patient’s healthcare. Customers determine your Account permissions and User type.
Minors
If you are under eighteen (18) years old, you must have permission from your parent or guardian to use the Services.
User Data
Some Service components allow you to upload, submit, store, send, or receive content (referred to as "User Data" throughout the rest of these Terms). User Data may include personal information about you or others.
Team Activity
Some Services allow Team Activity. Team Activity means the interactions between different Users to create and administer patient-specific care teams and care plans, as well as to undertake, perform, and report on those activities.
Use of the Services
We grant you the non-exclusive, non-assignable, royalty free, worldwide, limited right to use the Services and access its content, so long as you comply with these Terms, and for users who have an Account, so long as (a) your Account is linked to a Customer with an active subscription or contract, (b) that Customer authorizes your continued use, and (c) your Account has not been terminated as described later in these Terms.
Our Intellectual Property
Using our Services does not give you ownership of any intellectual property rights in our Services, or to any content you access that is not yours.
The Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Nothing in these Terms gives you a right to use the Activate Care name or any of our trademarks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features. All right, title, and interest in and to the Services (excluding User Data) are and will remain the exclusive property of Activate Care and our licensors. Any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may provide regarding the Services is entirely voluntary and we will be free to use such feedback, comments, or suggestions as we see fit and without any obligation to you.
You agree to keep confidential any of our trade secrets, know-how, inventions, training materials, templates, workflows, information of a financial, business or technical nature, information marked as copyrighted or proprietary, and any other information about us that you know, or reasonably ought to know is confidential.
Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Services (a) consistent with these Terms, (b) solely for lawful business or clinical purposes, (c) in compliance with any laws, regulations, policies, and standards that apply to you.
You agree to keep User Data confidential, and to only use and share User Data as part of valid Team Activity.
Your use of the Services, or participation in a Patient’s healthcare, may be subject to specific privacy protections. For example, many of our Users are subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-191), and its implementing regulations at 45 CFR 160 and 164 ("HIPAA"). If you or your business are subject to privacy laws (including HIPAA), regulations, company policies, or professional standards, you agree that you will use the Services and any User Data consistent with those protections. This includes the obligation to obtain any required authorization or consent before using or disclosing User Data.
You also agree that you will:
