A. End User Requirements

By agreeing to these Terms as an End User, you represent that you are an End User at a healthcare entity, an authorized administrator appointed by a healthcare entity, or an authorized administrator appointed by an electronic medical record with the authority to access an entity’s healthcare provider database in order to share provider identity verification information with DrFirst and authorized third parties. In the event that you cease to be an Authorized Credentialing Officer or an authorized administrator with the right to access and share healthcare provider information, these Terms will automatically terminate and you agree to discontinue your use of the Application immediately. You agree to use the Application to upload information for only those healthcare providers who have successfully completed your healthcare entity’s identity proofing verification process in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations.

B. Access to Services

For so long as these Terms remain in effect and you remain a properly registered End User, the Application will remain available to you.  You may access the Application only if the healthcare entity that you are affiliated with remains a DrFirst customer, subject to these Terms. During such time as you remain a properly registered End User, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable license to access and make use of the Application.

C. General Restrictions on Use

If you are an End User, then the licenses granted to you will remain in force only for so long as these Terms remain in effect or until your registration is cancelled or terminated. You may not resell or sublicense access to the Application or any of the rights granted to you herein to any third party. You may not use the Application except in connection with managing healthcare provider information on behalf of the entity for which you serve as an End User or authorized administrator, and only as permitted by these Terms. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any part of the Application software.  You further agree not to combine or integrate the Application with software or technologies not provided by us, or modify, further develop or create any derivative product based on the foregoing.  You may not decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to obtain or access the source code from which any component of the Application is compiled or interpreted, and nothing in these Terms may be construed to grant any right to obtain or use such source code.  You agree not to use the Application to: (a) other than as permitted by HIPAA and HITECH rules as amended from time to time by the federal government; (b) violate any local, state, national or international law; (c) access any End User account other than your own; (d) impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity; (e) give access to your Application account to any person other than yourself; or (f) share data that you have obtained as a result of your access to the Application with any party not authorized or intended to be the recipient of such data as contemplated in these Terms. In the event we become aware of your use of the system other than for the purposes outlined in these Terms, we may in our sole and reasonable discretion terminate your account without notice.

D. Authenticity and Accuracy of Information

You as the End User ensure that all healthcare provider information shared with DrFirst is complete, accurate, and up to date. You agree to use the Application only to upload information of those healthcare providers who have successfully completed your entity’s identity proofing verification process in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations or to otherwise manage those users who have previously undergone a separate identity proofing process. You understand and agree that DrFirst will not conduct its own separate identity proofing process for the healthcare providers that the entity has previously verified. Therefore, if at any time during your use of the Application you become aware that the information you are sharing with DrFirst through the Application is false or inaccurate, you must immediately notify DrFirst, or contact your affiliated healthcare entity to immediately notify DrFirst.

YOU, AS AN END USER, AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE APPLICATION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.  THE APPLICATION IS SOLELY AVAILABLE TO YOU BY VIRTUE OF YOUR STATUS AS AN AUTHORIZED CREDENTIALING OFFICER OR AN AUTHROIZED ADMINISTRATOR FOR YOUR AFFILIATED HEALTHCARE ENTITY.

M. Modifications to Application

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Application with or without notice to you.  We will not be liable to you or any third party should we exercise our right to modify or discontinue the Application, except as set forth in section F above.  If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse will be to terminate these Terms.  Continued use of the Application following notice of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and satisfaction with the Services as so modified.

As between you and us, DrFirst retains all right, title and interest in and to the Application, and all information, content, software and materials provided by or on behalf of DrFirst.  You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or create derivative works from such information, content, software and materials or remove any copyright or other proprietary rights notices contained in such information, content, software and materials without the copyright owner’s prior written consent.

P. General Terms

You shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations now or hereafter promulgated by any government authority or agency that are applicable to your use of the Application or the transactions contemplated in these Terms. Any attempt to sublicense, assign or transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder or to exceed the scope of these Terms is void. These Terms will be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland, excluding conflict of law principles. You consent to jurisdiction and venue exclusively in the State of Maryland.  These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and DrFirst with regard to the matters described herein and govern your use of the Application, superseding any prior agreements between you and DrFirst with respect thereto (except as described in section I above).  The failure of DrFirst to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these terms 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 these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.  You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or these Terms of Use must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
