In consideration for payment of the Monthly Fee by the Client, CLINIQ APPS grants the Client a non-exclusive, non-assignable, royalty free, worldwide right to access the Services on a monthly basis for use at the Clinic. The Client may allow Authorized Users to access the Services but the Client remains at all times responsible for the compliance by all Authorized Users with this Agreement.

The Client acknowledges that CLINIQ APPS has no delivery obligation and will not ship or deliver copies of the Software or any other software programs to the Client as part of the Services. Instead, CLINIQ APPS will host the Software on its own servers and the Client will have access to the Software via the admin portal or an Application Program Interface (API).

CLINIQ APPS reserves all rights not expressly granted to the Client in this Agreement. CLINIQ APPS or its licensors own the Cliniq IP and the Client does not acquire any ownership or intellectual property rights in Cliniq IP.

The Services will be provided on a monthly basis, provided the Monthly Fee is properly paid at the start of each monthly period, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Client. If the Client at any time ceases to pay the Monthly Fee, all rights to access or use the Services and Software shall cease.

For those Clients that order, register or subscribe offline (including those that pay in advance upon invoice), the service period begins on the date of first order, registration or subscription and continues for the period that the Client has elected to pre-pay (for example, 12 months).

CLINIQ APPS reserves the right to change the Software or the Services from time to time, including to add new features or to vary the delivery of existing features, but CLINIQ APPS will provide the Client with reasonable notice before any key features are removed.

As part of the Services, CLINIQ APPS will:

CLINIQ APPS will maintain service levels at 99.5% availability to the Client.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that the content on or accessible through the Software, including but not limited to any suggested Workflows, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. You should not rely upon any information or processes provided via the Software, or provide such information to a Patient, that may be regarded as medical advice, without the prior approval of a Healthcare Provider. It is solely the Clinic's responsibility to evaluate or access information about the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions, advice, services, merchandise or other information provided through the Software, the Dashboard or on the internet generally.

CLINIQ APPS will collect, use, disclose and store Patient Data strictly in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.

If a particular Patient requests deletion of their Patient Data held by the Clinic, an authorized officer of the Client must immediately communicate such request to CLINIQ APPS. CLINIQ APPS will then delete the relevant Patient Data from its database, which will mean any Patient Data that was held by CLINIQ APPS will no longer be accessible by the Client or by CLINIQ APPS.

It is a condition of this Agreement that the Client also agrees to comply with, and not do anything inconsistent with, our Privacy Policy.

The Client must also comply with the Client's own privacy policies and all domestic, foreign and international laws and regulations, including those relating to data privacy, international communications, and the exportation of technical or personal data, relevant to the jurisdiction in which the Clinic operates. Where the Client uses the Software to communicate with any Patient or other third party, the Client must first obtain the permission of that party to communicate with them before doing so.

The Monthly Fee for the Services is set out on the Website and is based on the number of Permitted Providers that are employed, co-located or otherwise engaged by the Client at the Clinic during any month. CLINIQ APPS may change the Monthly Fee at any time, and/or add additional fees for additional services (such as set-up fees, premium support fees, etc). CLINIQ APPS will provide you with at least one month's written notice in advance of such changes or additions, in order that you have an opportunity to terminate the Services prior to such change taking effect. If, during any month of service, the Client exceeds its Permitted Providers, this will be detected by the Software and the Monthly Fee will be updated accordingly.

The Client will pay all Monthly Fees automatically at the start of each month of service via CLINIQ APPS's online billing software or otherwise within 15 days of CLINIQ APPS's invoice. Late payments are subject to interest charges of 1.0% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all collection expenses.

In the event of any termination, the Client will pay the unpaid balance due for the then current billing period, calculated in accordance with this Agreement. CLINIQ APPS may charge such unpaid fees and charges to the Client's credit card or otherwise invoice the Client for such unpaid Fees and charges.

Monthly Fees exclude any taxes (including VAT or GST) or any other duties payable in respect of the Services in the jurisdiction where the payment is either made or received. To the extent that any such taxes or duties are payable by CLINIQ APPS, CLINIQ APPS will add such amount to the Monthly Fees or any additional fees, and the Client must pay to CLINIQ APPS the amount of such taxes or duties in addition to any such fees owed under this Agreement.

The Monthly Fee includes our standard set-up work in integrating with your designated Practice Management System vendor, provided such vendor is listed as a partner of CLINIQ APPS on the Website, to extract the necessary Data to an appropriate file and to ensure such Data is uploaded correctly into the CLINK APPS back-office administration system. You consent to CLINIQ APPS accessing your Patient Management System strictly to the extent necessary for such integration and ongoing provision of the Services.

Where CLINIQ APPS is not partnered with your designated Practice Management System vendor, we reserve the right to charge an additional fee (Integration Fee), in order to properly provide you with the Services. Should you refuse the Integration Fee, we reserve the right to refuse to provide you with the Services.

The Client is responsible for its own Internet connection and must use software, systems and equipment compatible with the Services, as CLINIQ APPS specifies in its published policies. CLINIQ APPS is not responsible for any Patient Data or Client Data lost, altered, intercepted or stored across networks not owned or operated by CLINIQ APPS.

To enable CLINIQ APPS to properly communicate with the Client and Patients, the Client will provide accurate, current and complete information when registering with CLINIQ APPS and ordering Services, and will update its information if it changes. The Client will ensure its passwords and usernames are kept confidential, secure and that it will not share them with third parties. The Client is responsible for all actions taken through its accounts.

Any Cliniq IP, Data, and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall also be deemed Confidential Information.

CLINIQ APPS does not guarantee that the Services will be performed error-free or uninterrupted, or that CLINIQ APPS will correct all Services errors. The Client acknowledges that the Services may be subject to limitations, delays, and other problems inherent in the use of communication networks such as the internet, and CLINIQ APPS will not be liable for any delays, delivery failures or other damage resulting from such problems, including in relation to any appointments not properly delivered or communicated to Patients or the Client.

For the avoidance of doubt, CLINIQ APPS has no liability whatsoever if a particular communication to a Patient or other functionality provided by the Software fails for any reason.

NEITHER PARTY IS TO BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFITS (EXCLUDING FEES UNDER THE AGREEMENT), DATA, OR DATA USE.
