17.1 Any dispute that arises under or is related to this Agreement or the Application (referred to as a “Dispute”) will be conclusively and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Both parties waive the right to litigate such claims in court or have a jury trial, except that either party may bring its claim in its local small claims court, if the rules of that court permit and the claim falls within the court’s jurisdiction. It's important to note that arbitration differs from court proceedings, and the rights to discovery and appeal may be limited.


17.2 Disputes will be settled by a neutral arbitrator, mutually selected by both parties, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.

The relevant rules and procedures of JAMS can be accessed at www.jamsadr.com.


17.3 Each party will bear its own JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. The arbitrator’s award can be enforced in any court that has jurisdiction.

18.1 You acknowledge and agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be limited to addressing the Dispute between you and us on an individual basis.


18.2 In accordance with the law's fullest allowances: (i) no arbitration or legal proceeding shall be consolidated with any other case or party; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be heard or resolved on a class-action basis or to use class action procedures; and (iii) no Dispute shall be brought forward in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the public or other individuals.

19. Equitable Relief

19.1 You recognize and concur that if you breach or pose a threat to breach our intellectual property rights or the confidentiality and proprietary nature of our information, we will incur irreparable damage. Consequently, we will be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement.


19.2 Without relinquishing any other available remedies under this Agreement, we retain the right to pursue interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief from any court with appropriate jurisdiction. This action is to safeguard our rights and property while awaiting the resolution of arbitration as mentioned previously.


19.3 You irrevocably and unconditionally agree to both the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in the State of California for any such action initiated by us.


20. Governing Legislation and Jurisdiction

​20.1 This Agreement and any legal actions or proceedings arising from it will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, disregarding any conflict of law principles.


20.2 The Parties explicitly consent to and agree on the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Texas for any lawsuits, actions, or proceedings that arise directly or indirectly from this Agreement.


20.3 Both parties waive any objections to the jurisdiction of these courts, including objections based on improper venue or inconvenient forum. Each party irrevocably commits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any legal actions or proceedings deriving from or connected to this Agreement.


21. Assignment in the Event of Merger or Acquisition

21.1 In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or sale of the service, company or Application provided under these Terms of Use to another entity (collectively referred to as a "Transfer"), we reserve the right to assign, in whole or in part, the rights, duties, and obligations under these Terms of Use to the successor entity without your consent. The successor entity will be permitted to maintain the continuity of the service or Application and to use Your Data in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You acknowledge that such a Transfer may occur and that any acquirer or successor of ours may continue to use Your Data as set forth in this Agreement.


22. Miscellaneous
22.1 You may not assign any of your rights, duties, or obligations under these Terms of Use to any person or entity, in whole or in part, without written consent from Soap AI. Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the

parties with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.

Business Associate Agreement


This Business Associate Agreement ("BAA") is established between First Draft AI LLC ("Business Associate") and Customer ("Covered Entity"), and becomes effective on the Effective Date.


WHEREAS, as per the Terms of Use, Business Associate is engaged to render specific services to, for, or on behalf of Covered Entity which involve the utilization or disclosure of Protected Health Information ("PHI"), and according to such Terms of Use, Business Associate may fulfill the role of a "business associate" as recognized by Covered Entity; and


WHEREAS, it is the mutual objective of Covered Entity and Business Associate to uphold the confidentiality and ensure the protection of PHI divulged to Business Associate as mandated by the Provider Agreement. This is in alignment with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191 ("HIPAA"), the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at 45 CFR § 160 and § 164 (collectively, the "HIPAA Rules"), and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 ("HITECH Act"), with each being subject to modifications over time; and


WHEREAS, the intent of this BAA is to comply with certain stipulations and obligations of the HIPAA Rules and the HITECH Act, as they may be revised periodically.


NOW, THEREFORE, in recognition of the mutual commitments herein and the sharing of information as stipulated in this BAA, the parties hereto concur as follows:


1. Definitions

1.1 The meanings of terms in this BAA that are not specifically defined herein shall align with their respective definitions as stipulated in 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164, or as described in the HITECH Act.


2. Business Associate Obligations

2.1 Permitted Uses and Disclosures: Business Associate agrees to only Use or Disclose PHI as necessary in order to perform the services set forth in the Provider Agreement, as permitted under this BAA, or as Required by Law. Business Associate shall have the right to de-identify any and all PHI, provided that Business Associate implements a de-identification process that conforms to the requirements of 45 C.F.R. 164.514(a)-(c) (“De-identified Data”). Business Associate may Use or Disclose such De-identified Data to third parties at its discretion, as such De-identified Data does not constitute PHI and is not subject to the terms of this BAA. Business Associate shall own all right, title and interest in and to such De-identified Data.


2.2 Nondisclosure: Business Associate shall not Use or further Disclose PHI other than as permitted or required by this BAA.


2.3 Protection Measures: The Business Associate commits to employing suitable measures to safeguard that PHI is neither used nor disclosed in ways not permitted by this BAA. Moreover, the Business Associate is obliged to develop a comprehensive policy for information privacy and security. This policy must include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are appropriately scaled and intricately designed to match the Business Associate's operational scope and the breadth of its responsibilities.


2.4 Mitigation and Reporting of Disclosures: The Business Associate will notify the Covered Entity of any instances where PHI is used or disclosed in a manner not specified in this BAA, upon becoming aware of such instances. Furthermore, the Business Associate commits to minimizing, as much as possible, any detrimental impact that it is aware of resulting from the use or disclosure of PHI by the Business Associate that breaches the terms of this BAA.


2.4 Agents of the Business Associate: The Business Associate is responsible for ensuring that any subcontractors that receive Protected Health Information (PHI), either directly from the Business Associate or through the Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity, adhere to the same restrictions and obligations that apply to the Business Associate regarding that PHI.


2.5 Provision of Information to the Covered Entity: The Business Associate is required to supply the Covered Entity (or an Individual, as specified by the Covered Entity) with any information the Covered Entity requests. This information must be provided within the timeframe and in the manner the Covered Entity specifies, to assist the Covered Entity in fulfilling its duties, if any, to grant access to, deliver copies of, and document disclosures of PHI in compliance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, the requirements outlined in 45 CFR §§ 164.524 and 164.528. Requests for such information should be made at least 14 days before the needed date.


2.6 Modification of PHI: The Business Associate must make amendments to PHI within a Designated Record Set as instructed or approved by the Covered Entity, whether at the request of the Covered Entity or an Individual. This must be done within the timeframe and according to the methods specified by the Covered Entity. This is to assist the Covered Entity in meeting its potential obligations to modify PHI in accordance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations, including, but not limited to, the stipulations in 45 CFR § 164.526.

2.8 Record-Keeping of Disclosures for Accounting Purposes: The Business Associate consents to maintaining records of PHI disclosures and pertinent details regarding these disclosures. This documentation is necessary to enable the Covered Entity to fulfill an Individual's request for an account of PHI disclosures, as stipulated under 45 CFR § 164.528.


2.9 Provision of Documentation for Accounting: The Business Associate concurs to supply the Covered Entity, or an Individual, with the documented information as specified in Section 2(i) of this BAA.

2.10 Breach Notification: Throughout the duration of this BAA, the Business Associate is committed to informing the Covered Entity within ten (10) days upon becoming aware of any breach involving unsecured PHI.

3. Responsibilities of the Covered Entity

3.1 The Covered Entity is tasked with employing suitable protective measures to preserve the confidentiality, privacy, and security of the PHI sent to the Business Associate under this BAA. This responsibility endures in accordance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations until the PHI is duly received by the Business Associate.


3.2 When requested, the Covered Entity must supply the Business Associate with its privacy practice notice as prepared in compliance with 45 CFR § 164.520. This includes any amendments to the notice.


3.3 The Covered Entity is responsible for informing the Business Associate of any alterations in, or withdrawal of, an Individual's consent regarding the use or disclosure of PHI, particularly if such changes influence the Business Associate's allowed or necessary uses or disclosures.


3.4 The Covered Entity will notify the Business Associate about any agreed-upon limitations on the use or disclosure of PHI as per 45 CFR § 164.522. This is essential if the restriction impacts the Business Associate's authorized or obligatory uses or disclosures.


4. Term and Termination

4.1 Term. This BAA becomes active from the Effective Date and will conclude when all PHI received from the Covered Entity by the Business Associate, or created or obtained by the Business Associate on the Covered Entity's behalf, is either destroyed or handed back to the Covered Entity. If it's not possible to return or destroy the PHI, then protective measures should be continued for such information, as detailed in the termination clauses of this section. Provisions of this BAA that are necessary for compliance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations will persist even after the BAA's termination.


4.2. Material Breach. A material breach of any term of this BAA by either party will be deemed a material breach of the BAA itself, provided that the party responsible for the breach doesn't rectify it within thirty (30) days after receiving a notice that outlines the breach.


4.3. Appropriate Measures to Rectify Breach. Should either party become aware of an action or pattern by the other party that amounts to a material breach or infraction of the obligations under this BAA, the party not at fault must inform the breaching party of the issue. The party at fault must then undertake appropriate actions to rectify the breach or violation within a maximum of thirty (30) days. If the party at fault fails to resolve the issue, the non-breaching party has the right to either terminate the BAA, if it's viable, or, in cases where termination isn't feasible and the breaching party has contravened HIPAA Rules, report the breach or violation to the Secretary.


4.4. Legal or Administrative Actions. The BAA can be immediately terminated by either party if the other party is implicated as a defendant in a criminal case alleging a breach of HIPAA, or if in any administrative or civil proceeding where the party is involved, a verdict or agreement is reached that the party violated any HIPAA standard or other laws related to security or privacy.


5. Effect of Termination

5.1 Unless stated in paragraph (5.2) of this Section or if mandated by law or regulation to be kept by the Business Associate, upon the termination of the BAA for any reason, the Business Associate must either return or destroy all PHI received from the Covered Entity (or created or received by the Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity) that it still possesses in any form, at the expense of the Covered Entity. The Business Associate is not allowed to keep any copies of such PHI. This requirement also applies to PHI in the custody of subcontractors or agents of the Business Associate.


5.2 If the Business Associate concludes that it's impractical to return or destroy the PHI, it must notify the Covered Entity about the reasons making return or destruction impracticable. If both parties concur that returning or destroying the PHI is impracticable, the Business Associate shall continue to apply the protections of this BAA to such PHI. It should restrict any further use or disclosure of this PHI to purposes that necessitate the retention, for as long as the PHI is kept by the Business Associate. The obligations of the Business Associate under this Section persist even after the BAA has ended.


5.3 Modification to Comply with Legislation: Both parties recognize that laws regarding electronic data security and privacy are constantly changing, and as a result, amending the BAA might be necessary to ensure compliance. The parties commit to taking necessary actions to adhere to the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, the HITECH Act, and other relevant laws concerning the security or confidentiality of PHI. At the request of either party, both shall promptly commence negotiations to discuss the terms of a BAA amendment that aligns with these standards and requirements. Should a party fail to engage in such negotiations or to agree to a BAA amendment that meets the necessary safeguards for PHI as per HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, the HITECH Act, or other applicable laws, the other party may terminate the BAA with thirty (30) days’ written notice.


5.4 No External Beneficiaries: This BAA is not intended to, nor does it, grant any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities to any person other than the Covered Entity, the Business Associate, and their respective successors and assigns. No other person or entity is to be considered a third party beneficiary of this BAA.


5.5 BAA Continuity. Except as specifically needed to fulfill the objectives of this BAA, or when incompatible with this BAA, all other terms of the BAA shall remain effective and binding.


5.6 Interpretation. The terms of this BAA should be interpreted as broadly as required to implement and comply with HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, and any other pertinent legislation concerning the security and privacy of PHI. Any ambiguities in this BAA are to be resolved in favor of an interpretation that allows the Covered Entity to adhere to the HIPAA Rules.


5.7 References to Regulations. References within this BAA to specific sections of the HIPAA Rules or the HITECH Act refer to those sections as currently enacted or as may be amended, and compliance with them is required.

17. Binding Arbitration

17.1 Any dispute that arises under or is related to this Agreement or the Application (referred to as a “Dispute”) will be conclusively and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Both parties waive the right to litigate such claims in court or have a jury trial, except that either party may bring its claim in its local small claims court, if the rules of that court permit and the claim falls within the court’s jurisdiction. It's important to note that arbitration differs from court proceedings, and the rights to discovery and appeal may be limited.


17.2 Disputes will be settled by a neutral arbitrator, mutually selected by both parties, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration process will be initiated and conducted by JAMS, following its then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, or the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, where applicable. The relevant rules and procedures of JAMS can be accessed at www.jamsadr.com.


17.3 Each party will bear its own JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. The arbitrator’s award can be enforced in any court that has jurisdiction. Although this clause does not prevent the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a suitable court, the arbitration, if conducted in person, will take place in the United States county where you reside.


18. Class Action Waiver

18.1 You acknowledge and agree that any arbitration or legal proceeding shall be limited to addressing the Dispute between you and us on an individual basis.


18.2 In accordance with the law's fullest allowances: (i) no arbitration or legal proceeding shall be consolidated with any other case or party; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be heard or resolved on a class-action basis or to use class action procedures; and (iii) no Dispute shall be brought forward in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the public or other individuals. You agree to only present claims against us in your individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any supposed class or representative proceeding.


19. Equitable Relief

19.1 You recognize and concur that if you breach or pose a threat to breach our intellectual property rights or the confidentiality and proprietary nature of our information, we will incur irreparable damage. Consequently, we will be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement.


19.2 Without relinquishing any other available remedies under this Agreement, we retain the right to pursue interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief from any court with appropriate jurisdiction. This action is to safeguard our rights and property while awaiting the resolution of arbitration as mentioned previously.


19.3 You irrevocably and unconditionally agree to both the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of federal and state courts located in the State of California for any such action initiated by us.


20. Governing Legislation and Jurisdiction

​20.1 This Agreement and any legal actions or proceedings arising from it will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, disregarding any conflict of law principles.


20.2 The Parties explicitly consent to and agree on the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of Texas for any lawsuits, actions, or proceedings that arise directly or indirectly from this Agreement.


20.3 Both parties waive any objections to the jurisdiction of these courts, including objections based on improper venue or inconvenient forum. Each party irrevocably commits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any legal actions or proceedings deriving from or connected to this Agreement.


21. Assignment in the Event of Merger or Acquisition

21.1 In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or sale of the service, company or Application provided under these Terms of Use to another entity (collectively referred to as a "Transfer"), we reserve the right to assign, in whole or in part, the rights, duties, and obligations under these Terms of Use to the successor entity without your consent. The successor entity will be permitted to maintain the continuity of the service or Application and to use Your Data in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You acknowledge that such a Transfer may occur and that any acquirer or successor of ours may continue to use Your Data as set forth in this Agreement.


22. Miscellaneous
22.1 You may not assign any of your rights, duties, or obligations under these Terms of Use to any person or entity, in whole or in part, without written consent from Soap AI. Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, the Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the

parties with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.


23. Feedback

23.1 We welcome and appreciate your feedback, comments, and suggestions for enhancements to the Application and our services (“Feedback”). While we encourage you to email us your insights, please refrain from sending any content that includes confidential information.


23.2 Regarding any Feedback you provide, we reserve the right to freely use, disclose, and implement any ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, or other materials present in your Feedback for any purpose.

1.1 The meanings of terms in this BAA that are not specifically defined herein shall align with their respective definitions as stipulated in 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164, or as described in the HITECH Act.


2. Business Associate Obligations

2.1 Permitted Uses and Disclosures: Business Associate agrees to only Use or Disclose PHI as necessary in order to perform the services set forth in the Provider Agreement, as permitted under this BAA, or as Required by Law. Business Associate shall have the right to de-identify any and all PHI, provided that Business Associate implements a de-identification process that conforms to the requirements of 45 C.F.R. 164.514(a)-(c) (“De-identified Data”). Business Associate may Use or Disclose such De-identified Data to third parties at its discretion, as such De-identified Data does not constitute PHI and is not subject to the terms of this BAA. Business Associate shall own all right, title and interest in and to such De-identified Data.


2.2 Nondisclosure: Business Associate shall not Use or further Disclose PHI other than as permitted or required by this BAA.


2.3 Protection Measures: The Business Associate commits to employing suitable measures to safeguard that PHI is neither used nor disclosed in ways not permitted by this BAA. Moreover, the Business Associate is obliged to develop a comprehensive policy for information privacy and security. This policy must include administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that are appropriately scaled and intricately designed to match the Business Associate's operational scope and the breadth of its responsibilities.


2.4 Mitigation and Reporting of Disclosures: The Business Associate will notify the Covered Entity of any instances where PHI is used or disclosed in a manner not specified in this BAA, upon becoming aware of such instances. Furthermore, the Business Associate commits to minimizing, as much as possible, any detrimental impact that it is aware of resulting from the use or disclosure of PHI by the Business Associate that breaches the terms of this BAA.


2.4 Agents of the Business Associate: The Business Associate is responsible for ensuring that any subcontractors that receive Protected Health Information (PHI), either directly from the Business Associate or through the Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity, adhere to the same restrictions and obligations that apply to the Business Associate regarding that PHI.


2.5 Provision of Information to the Covered Entity: The Business Associate is required to supply the Covered Entity (or an Individual, as specified by the Covered Entity) with any information the Covered Entity requests. This information must be provided within the timeframe and in the manner the Covered Entity specifies, to assist the Covered Entity in fulfilling its duties, if any, to grant access to, deliver copies of, and document disclosures of PHI in compliance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, the requirements outlined in 45 CFR §§ 164.524 and 164.528. Requests for such information should be made at least 14 days before the needed date.


2.6 Modification of PHI: The Business Associate must make amendments to PHI within a Designated Record Set as instructed or approved by the Covered Entity, whether at the request of the Covered Entity or an Individual. This must be done within the timeframe and according to the methods specified by the Covered Entity. This is to assist the Covered Entity in meeting its potential obligations to modify PHI in accordance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations, including, but not limited to, the stipulations in 45 CFR § 164.526. Furthermore, the Business Associate is required to integrate any changes to the PHI into the versions of the PHI it holds, as per the directions of the Covered Entity.


2.7 Organizational Procedures: The Business Associate is obligated to provide access to its internal procedures, documentation, and records concerning the utilization and disclosure of PHI received from the Covered Entity (or generated or obtained by the Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity). This access should be granted to the Secretary, at a time and in a manner specified by either the Covered Entity or the Secretary, to facilitate the Secretary's assessment of the Covered Entity's adherence to HIPAA and the HIPAA Regulations.


2.8 Record-Keeping of Disclosures for Accounting Purposes: The Business Associate consents to maintaining records of PHI disclosures and pertinent details regarding these disclosures. This documentation is necessary to enable the Covered Entity to fulfill an Individual's request for an account of PHI disclosures, as stipulated under 45 CFR § 164.528.


2.9 Provision of Documentation for Accounting: The Business Associate concurs to supply the Covered Entity, or an Individual, with the documented information as specified in Section 2(i) of this BAA. This provision will occur within a timeframe and through a method determined by the Covered Entity, ensuring that the Covered Entity can address an Individual's request for a record of PHI disclosures in line with 45 CFR § 164.528.


2.10 Breach Notification: Throughout the duration of this BAA, the Business Associate is committed to informing the Covered Entity within ten (10) days upon becoming aware of any breach involving unsecured PHI. Additionally, in alignment with Section 13402 of the HITECH Act, the Business Associate agrees to furnish the Covered Entity with information that enables the Covered Entity to comply with the obligations of the aforementioned section, with the specifics of the information delivery (including manner and format) to be dictated by the Covered Entity.


2.11 Principle of Minimum Necessity: In circumstances where the Business Associate is utilizing, disclosing, or seeking PHI from the Covered Entity, or in any instance governed by this BAA, the Business Associate will restrict the PHI involved to the least amount required to achieve the specific objective of the use, disclosure, or request.


3. Responsibilities of the Covered Entity

3.1 The Covered Entity is tasked with employing suitable protective measures to preserve the confidentiality, privacy, and security of the PHI sent to the Business Associate under this BAA. This responsibility endures in accordance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations until the PHI is duly received by the Business Associate.


3.2 When requested, the Covered Entity must supply the Business Associate with its privacy practice notice as prepared in compliance with 45 CFR § 164.520. This includes any amendments to the notice.


3.3 The Covered Entity is responsible for informing the Business Associate of any alterations in, or withdrawal of, an Individual's consent regarding the use or disclosure of PHI, particularly if such changes influence the Business Associate's allowed or necessary uses or disclosures.


3.4 The Covered Entity will notify the Business Associate about any agreed-upon limitations on the use or disclosure of PHI as per 45 CFR § 164.522. This is essential if the restriction impacts the Business Associate's authorized or obligatory uses or disclosures.


4. Term and Termination

4.1 Term. This BAA becomes active from the Effective Date and will conclude when all PHI received from the Covered Entity by the Business Associate, or created or obtained by the Business Associate on the Covered Entity's behalf, is either destroyed or handed back to the Covered Entity. If it's not possible to return or destroy the PHI, then protective measures should be continued for such information, as detailed in the termination clauses of this section. Provisions of this BAA that are necessary for compliance with HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations will persist even after the BAA's termination.


4.2. Material Breach. A material breach of any term of this BAA by either party will be deemed a material breach of the BAA itself, provided that the party responsible for the breach doesn't rectify it within thirty (30) days after receiving a notice that outlines the breach.


4.3. Appropriate Measures to Rectify Breach. Should either party become aware of an action or pattern by the other party that amounts to a material breach or infraction of the obligations under this BAA, the party not at fault must inform the breaching party of the issue. The party at fault must then undertake appropriate actions to rectify the breach or violation within a maximum of thirty (30) days. If the party at fault fails to resolve the issue, the non-breaching party has the right to either terminate the BAA, if it's viable, or, in cases where termination isn't feasible and the breaching party has contravened HIPAA Rules, report the breach or violation to the Secretary.


4.4. Legal or Administrative Actions. The BAA can be immediately terminated by either party if the other party is implicated as a defendant in a criminal case alleging a breach of HIPAA, or if in any administrative or civil proceeding where the party is involved, a verdict or agreement is reached that the party violated any HIPAA standard or other laws related to security or privacy.


5. Effect of Termination

5.1 Unless stated in paragraph (5.2) of this Section or if mandated by law or regulation to be kept by the Business Associate, upon the termination of the BAA for any reason, the Business Associate must either return or destroy all PHI received from the Covered Entity (or created or received by the Business Associate on behalf of the Covered Entity) that it still possesses in any form, at the expense of the Covered Entity. The Business Associate is not allowed to keep any copies of such PHI. This requirement also applies to PHI in the custody of subcontractors or agents of the Business Associate.


5.2 If the Business Associate concludes that it's impractical to return or destroy the PHI, it must notify the Covered Entity about the reasons making return or destruction impracticable. If both parties concur that returning or destroying the PHI is impracticable, the Business Associate shall continue to apply the protections of this BAA to such PHI. It should restrict any further use or disclosure of this PHI to purposes that necessitate the retention, for as long as the PHI is kept by the Business Associate. The obligations of the Business Associate under this Section persist even after the BAA has ended.


5.3 Modification to Comply with Legislation: Both parties recognize that laws regarding electronic data security and privacy are constantly changing, and as a result, amending the BAA might be necessary to ensure compliance. The parties commit to taking necessary actions to adhere to the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, the HITECH Act, and other relevant laws concerning the security or confidentiality of PHI. At the request of either party, both shall promptly commence negotiations to discuss the terms of a BAA amendment that aligns with these standards and requirements. Should a party fail to engage in such negotiations or to agree to a BAA amendment that meets the necessary safeguards for PHI as per HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, the HITECH Act, or other applicable laws, the other party may terminate the BAA with thirty (30) days’ written notice.


5.4 No External Beneficiaries: This BAA is not intended to, nor does it, grant any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities to any person other than the Covered Entity, the Business Associate, and their respective successors and assigns. No other person or entity is to be considered a third party beneficiary of this BAA.


5.5 BAA Continuity. Except as specifically needed to fulfill the objectives of this BAA, or when incompatible with this BAA, all other terms of the BAA shall remain effective and binding.


5.6 Interpretation. The terms of this BAA should be interpreted as broadly as required to implement and comply with HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, and any other pertinent legislation concerning the security and privacy of PHI. Any ambiguities in this BAA are to be resolved in favor of an interpretation that allows the Covered Entity to adhere to the HIPAA Rules.


5.7 References to Regulations. References within this BAA to specific sections of the HIPAA Rules or the HITECH Act refer to those sections as currently enacted or as may be amended, and compliance with them is required.
