After having read the contents hereof, the Subscriber agrees to the supply of the Services under the conditions stipulated herein.

    3. VERIFICATION AND PERMITTED USE OF THE APPLICATION

      The purpose of the EMR is to allow the Subscriber to update profile, create, update, generate and share Health Records and to facilitate the sharing of individuals' health information among users of the EMR. The Subscriber may make the Health Record accessible to other users through the EMR for these purposes.

      Subject to the terms of this Agreement, TQHQ authorizes the Subscriber to access the EMR and to use the Services for recording the Subscriber’s Patients’ health information and consultations, sending of email and SMS notifications and reminders to the Subscriber’s Patients, completing and sending referral forms and case records to other users of the EMR, generating of reports, and for other purposes expressly authorized in TQHQ’s policies and procedures; provided that the Subscriber may access only information pertaining to individuals with whom the Subscriber has a treatment relationship with or for whom a provider relates to for treatment has requested a professional consultation from the Subscriber, or from whom the Subscriber has received authorization to use their health information.

      The Subscriber will obtain the necessary consents, authorizations or releases from individuals required for making their health information available through the EMR. Further, the Subscriber will not place in the EMR any information that the Subscriber knows or has reason to believe is false or materially inaccurate. Under no circumstances shall TQHQ be liable for third party claims for the Subscriber’s violation of the foregoing, nor shall TQHQ be liable for any direct, incidental, special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages that results from the same.

      With the Subscriber’s consent, TQHQ will make the Health Records for any Patients the Subscriber designates accessible to any other User of the EMR whom the Subscriber approves. The Subscriber may revoke its consent with respect to any other User at any time. While its consent is in effect, an approved User may view and edit the Health Record. If the Subscriber revokes its consent, the approved User will continue to have the ability to view the Health Record in the form in which it existed at the time the Subscriber revoked its consent, but will not be able to view changes made to the same thereafter, and will not be able to edit the same. The same rules apply to a Subscriber’s use of another User's record who approves access for that Subscriber. The Subscriber and its workforce are fully responsible for the information in any Health Record that they share. The Subscriber and/or its Workforce should not share Patient information that violates any state laws, such as a positive HIV test result. In the future, TQHQ may allow the Subscriber to share only subsections of a Health Record or may allow a referee to share the Health Record with others. In either case, TQHQ will obtain the Subscriber’s consent before allowing the use of such features. In any event, but especially in cases of potential fraud, misuse and/or abuse of the EMR, TQHQ reserves the right, in its sole judgment, to revoke, remove, cancel or deny continued access to any Health Record or any request to share such Health Record, subject to providing Subscriber requisite notice as set forth in Article 3.5 of the Contract.

      The Subscriber will be solely responsible for the use of the EMR by it and its authorized representatives, and shall indemnify TQHQ and hold TQHQ harmless from any claim, cost or liability arising from such use, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

      Both Parties will comply with all applicable laws, including laws relating to maintenance of privacy, security, and confidentiality of patient and other health information, that are provided in the Health Records.

      The Subscriber may permit access to the Health Record by health care providers and their business associates for treatment through the Health Record Sharing and/or Referral feature of the EMR. The Subscriber’s consent will be obtained before the Health Record is made available to other providers. The Subscriber acknowledges that once it has granted access rights to another provider, TQHQ has no control over the uses and disclosures that the provider makes of the Health Record.

    4. RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF THE EMR

      The Subscriber agrees not to use the EMR for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Use, or to solicit the performance of any illegal activity or other activity which infringes the rights of TQHQ or others.

    5. SUBCRIBER’S PATIENT HEALTH RECORD/S AND CONDUCT

      The Subscriber agrees that it is solely responsible for (and that TQHQ has no responsibility to the Subscriber or to any third party for) anyina ccuracies or errors in the Health Record that the Subscriberplaces into the EMRcreates, transmits or displays while using the EMR and for the consequences of its actionsusing such inaccurate or erroneous Health Record (including any loss or damage which TQHQ may suffer) by doing so.

      In connection with the Subscriber’s Health Records, the Subscriber affirms, represents, and/or warrants that: the Subscriber owns or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize TQHQ to use all patent, trademark, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all Health Records to enable inclusion and use of the Health Records in the manner contemplated by the EMR and these Terms of Use.

      TQHQ acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no right, title or interest from the Subscriber under these Terms of Use and Service in or to any content that the Subscriber submits, posts, transmits or displays on, or through, the EMR, including any intellectual property rights which subsist in that content. The Subscriber agrees that it is responsible for protecting and enforcing those rights and that TQHQ has no obligation to do so on its behalf.

      The Subscriber agrees not to provide any Health Record that infringes any third-party intellectual property or publicity/privacy rights; is knowingly false, and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law or regulation.

      The Subscriber agrees to ensure that the computer/s they use to access the EMR:

        do not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information;

        are regularly updated with software updates, patches, or service packs;

TQHQ does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its EMR, and TQHQ will remove all Health Records if properly notified that such Health Records infringe on another's intellectual property rights or violates the Terms of Use. TQHQ reserves the right to remove Health Records without prior notice in relation to aforementioned details in this section.

      TQHQ is not responsible for any and all Health Records and for any inaccuracies in these Health Records unless it can be shown that it was caused by TQHQ through its own fault or n egligence. Therefore, the Subscriber bears the risk associated with, the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of the Health Records.

      The Subscriber is solely responsible for the professional and technical services it provides.

      The Subscriber is the only user allowed to collect personal and health data from their patients. The Subscriber can also choose to let their patient create their own medical records by providing an online registration form to input data personally by the patients. However, this method is optional to the patient and can choose not to create the record.

      TQHQ make no representations concerning the completeness, accuracy or utility of any informationprior to their entry or encodingin the EMR, or concerning the qualifications or competence of individuals who place such information there.Except where damage or injury can be attributed to TQHQ’s fault or negligence, TQHQshall ha ve s no liability for the consequences to the Subscriber and its Patients of their use of the EMR.

      Whenever the Subscriber voluntarily discloses personal information on the EMR (e.g., on profile, through e-mail), such information can be collected and used by others. By posting personal information on the EMR that is publicly accessible, the Subscriber realizes that it may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

      The Subscriber acknowledges that in its being granted access to the EMR by TQHQ, the latter will rely on the assurances of the recipients of the information as to (i) their identities and credentials, (ii) the purposes for which they are accessing the EMR, and (iii) the nature and extent of the information to which  they will have  access. The Subscriber acknowledges that, while the EMR will contain certain technical safeguards against misuse of the EMR, it will rely to a substantial extent on the representations and undertakings of Users. The Subscriber agrees that TQHQ will not be responsible for any unlawful access to or use of the Health Records by an User resulting from the User's misrepresentation to TQHQ, or breach of this Terms of Use or TQHQ’s policies and procedures.

    6. ACCOUNTS, PASSWORDS AND SECURITY

      In order to access the EMR, the Subscriber may be required to provide information about itself (such as identification or contact details including setting up a EMR ID and password) as part of the registration process for the EMR, or as part of the its continued use of the EMR. The Subscriber agrees that any registration information it gives to TQHQ will always be accurate, correct and up to date.

      The Subscriber is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its account information, including its password, and for any and all activity that occurs under its account. The Subscriber will maintain appropriate security with regard to all personnel, systems, and administrative processes used by it or its authorized representatives to transmit, store and process Health Records through the use of the EMR.

      The Parties agree to notify each other immediately of any unauthorized use of Subscriber’s account or password, or any other breach of security. If the Subscriber becomes aware of any unauthorized use of its password or of its account, the Subscriber agrees to notify TQHQ immediately at admin@bluehr.ph .  If TQHQ becomes aware of any unauthorized use of Subscriber’s password or of its account, TQHQ agrees to notify Subscriber immediately.

      However, the Subscriber may be held liable for losses incurred and damages suffered by TQHQ and/or any other user of or visitor to the Website and/or user of the EMR due to someone else using its EMR ID, password or account. The Subscriber may not use anyone else’s EMR ID, password or account at any time without permission. TQHQ cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from Subscriber’s failure to comply with such obligations.

      Accordingly, the Subscriber agrees that it will be solely responsible to TQHQ for all activities that occur under its account unless it is shown that such activities are in fact somehow due to TQHG’s own fault or negligence.

    7. ROLES AND PERMISSIONS
    8. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

      TQHQ owns and retains all proprietary rights in the EMR (except Health Records which the Subscriber creates, updates, generates and shares in the EMR). The EMR contain copyrighted material, including links and compilations of individual data, trademarks, and other proprietary information owned, controlled or licensed to TQHQ, and is protected by copyright, patent and trademark laws, and various other intellectual property rights and unfair competition laws. The Subscriber further acknowledges that the EMR may contain information which is designated confidential by TQHQ and that the Subscriber shall not disclose such information without TQHQ’s prior written consent.

      Content on the EMR is provided to the Subscriber AS IS for its information and/or professional use only. Except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use and Service, no part of the EMR may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted or distributed in any way (including “mirroring”) to any other computer, server, website or other medium for publication or distribution or for any commercial enterprise without TQHQ’s express prior written consent. Unless the Subscriber has agreed otherwise in writing with TQHQ, nothing in the Terms of Use and Service gives the Subscriber a right to use any of TQHQ’s trade names, trademarks, EMR marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features.

    9. SUBSCRIBER’S RELATIONSHIP WITH TQHQ

      There is no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee relationship between  TQHQ and any Subscriber of the EMR, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between TQHQ and such Subscriber.

    10. LICENSE FROM TQHQ

      TQHQ gives the Subscriber a personal, worldwide, limited, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the EMR. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling the Subscriber to use the EMR in the manner permitted by the Terms of Use.

      The Subscriber may not (and the Subscriber may not permit anyone else to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the EMR or any part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless the Subscriber have been specifically told that they may do so by TQHQ, in writing. Unless TQHQ has given the Subscriber specific written permission to do so, the Subscriber may not assign (or grant a sub-license of)  its rights to use the EMR, grant a security interest in or over its rights to use the EMR, or otherwise transfer or make available any part of its rights to use the EMR.

    11. SERVICE AVAILABILITY

      We strive to keep the BluEHR application up and running; however, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages, such as brownouts and loss of internet connectivity and TQHQ is not liable for any disruption or loss you may suffer as a result. In the event of an outage, you may not be able to access and retrieve Your Data that you’ve stored. We recommend that you create a manual procedure of continuing your operations in such events.

      As for your data availability, we ensure that data loss during such interruption of required services will be saved depending on the timing of the activity. Unsaved data will not be saved and cannot be restored as it is required for the application to trigger a “save” action to store data in the database. Saving locally in the device used by users is not allowed in such cases to prevent unnecessary data leaks in the system. Therefore, it is highly recommended that frequent saving is the best way to keep data stored properly.

    12. PROVISION OF THE APPLICATION BY TQHQ

      TQHQareis constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the form and nature of the EMR which TQHQ provides may change from time to time upon prior notice to the Subscriber.

      As part of this continuing innovation and subject to notice requirements as are indicated in Article 3.5 of the Contract, the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that TQHQ may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the EMR (or any features within the EMR) to the Subscriber or to users generally at TQHQ’s sole discretion. The Subscriber mayalso stop using the EMR at any time. The Subscriber does not need to specifically inform TQHQ whentheyit will stop using the EMR.

      The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that if TQHQ disables access to its account, it may be prevented from accessing the EMR, its account details or any files or other content which is contained in its account.

      The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that while TQHQ may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions the Subscriber may send or receive through the EMR or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of any EMR, such fixed upper limits may be set by TQHQ at any time, at TQHQ’s discretion.

    13. APPLICATION DATA, COOKIES AND UPDATES

      The EMR which the Subscriber uses may automatically download and install data and cookies from time to time to the Subscriber’s devices. These data and cookies are used by the EMR for enhanced and efficient functionality and may be required to allow the EMR to function faster and properly in the Subscriber’s device.

      On locally-installed versions of the EMR such as mobile apps and desktop apps, there may be updates that will be downloaded and installed which are designed to improve, enhance, upgrade and further develop the EMR and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new modules, additional security features and completely new versions.

      The Subscriber permits TQHQ to download, install, deliver and install these as data and/or updates as part of its use of the EMR.

    14. DATA PRIVACY IMPLEMENTATION

      Subscriber is mandated to elect a data privacy officer for his practice and operation of his/her clinic. TQHQ reserves the right to be the data processor only of any data collected by the Practitioner in the use of the application. It will be the responsibility of the Practitioner, as the data controller and his users and staff, to be trained and gain knowledge on his own accord to know and learn the Data Privacy Law and its Implementing Rules. It will also be the Practitioners’ responsibility to notify, explain and further educate all patients in his clinic.

      Subscriber is mandated to explain the nature, purpose, extent, risks and policies of his clinic pertaining to data privacy. A Patient Consent Form must be signed to signify the patients’ approval of the capture and storage of personal & health information. This can be done by physically printing the provided Consent Form from the application or an electronic version using an emailed consent notification with the “I give consent” button which the patient can click and the system will update the record. Copies of this signified email will be sent to both patient and Practitioner.

    15. OTHER USES OF INFORMATION

      TQHQ may use the Subscriber’s activity on the system together with its staff for purposes of monitoring and tracking. We will collect data from their views, updates, edits, saves together with server information, IP address, operating system and browser-type related information only for the general administration of the EMR.

      Once obtained, the Subscriber’s information are added to a database used only by TQHQ. TQHQ may disclose the Subscriber’s information if TQHQ in good faith believes that such action is necessary to: (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend its rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the EMR; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of users or the public. (Among other things, this means that if the Subscriber provides false information or attempts to pose as someone else, information about the Subscriber may be disclosed as part of any investigation into its actions.)

      TQHQ collects user-submitted account information such as names, mobile phone numbers and email addresses to identify Users and send notifications related to the use of the EMR. TQHQ also collects User-submitted profile information such as gender, age, occupation, location, etc.

      TQHQ may share the Subscriber’s Health Records for the proper management and administration of the EMR and TQHQ’s business, and to carry out TQHQ’s legal responsibilities, specifically to DOH and Philhealth. TQHQ may also disclose these Health Records for such purposes if the disclosure is required by law . In so doing,, or TQHQ shall obtain s reasonable assurances fromthe recipients that the data will be kept confidential and used only for purposes required or allowed by law( such as but not limited to the courtsrequiring disclosuredue to legal actions which require medical records of a patient ) . Recipients shall also notify TQHQ of any instances wherein they become aware of any breach in the confidentiality of the information. ,such as the courts due to legal actions which will require medical records of a patient , that the records will be held confidentially and used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the recipients and the recipients notify TQHQ of any instances of which they are aware in which the confidentiality of the information has been breached. Without limiting the foregoing, TQHQ may permit access to the EMR by TQHQ’s contracted system developers under appropriate confidentiality agreements.

      TQHQ may share profile information and aggregate data concerning the Subscriber’s patients, diagnoses, procedures, orders and the like in a non-personally identifiable manner to the Department of Health, any medical group, independent practice associations of physicians, health plans or other organizations with which the Subscriber has a contract to provide medical services, or to whose members or enrollees the Subscriber provides medical services. Such aggregate data may be made available to the said parties for purposes of health oversight activities and research. In such situations TQHQ will never disclose information that will be used to personally identify the Subscriber.

    16. ENDING THE SUBSCRIBER’S RELATIONSHIP WITH TQHQ

      The Terms of Use and Service will continue to apply until: a) terminated by the lapse of the Subscription Period in effect, or b) earlier terminated by either the Subscriber or TQHQ as set out below (“pre-termination”).

      If the Subscriber wishes to terminate the Contract, it may do so by notifying TQHQ in writing, at least seven (7) days prior to the intended date of pre-termination, sent TQHQ’s address which is set out at the end of these Terms of Use and Service.

      TQHQ may terminate the Contract without need of notice to or approval from the Subscriber if:

      • the Subscriber has breached any provision of the Terms of Use and Service (or has acted in a manner which clearly shows that it does not intend, or is unable, to comply with the provisions of the Terms of Use and Service); or

      • TQHQ is required to do so by law or government regulation (for example, where the provision of the EMR to the Subscriber is, or becomes, unlawful); or

      • the provision of the EMR to the Subscriber by TQHQ is, in TQHQ’s opinion, no longer commercially viable or having unexpected technical issues or problems.

      TQHQ may terminate this Contract anytime without cause upon thirty (30) days prior notice to the Subscriber.

      Nothing in this Section shall affect TQHQ’s rights regarding provision of EMR.

      At the termination of this Contract or upon the cancellation of the Subscriber’s account, TQHQwill immediately return or delete all Health Records, whichever is preferred by the Subscriber, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law: Provided , thatPatients’ personal and health records will be retained and kept secure until their deletion or removal is expressly requested by the concerned patientsviathrutheir BluPHR app or portal account sor by emailing us TQHQwith sucha formal request at support@bluehr.ph .<INSERT PROCEDURE>. ” , TQHQ will, if feasible, return, upon the Subscriber’s written request, or destroy, all the Health Records; or, if such return or destruction is not feasible, extend the protections of this Agreement to such Health Records and limit further uses and disclosures. The Subscriber acknowledges that it will likely be infeasible to segregate the Health Records for removal from the EMR, and that if the Subscriber has approved another User to have access to any of the Health Records through Health Record Sharing and Referral, TQHQ will maintain a version of those records throughout the time the Subscriber withdraws its approval, and TQHQ will  continue to make those records available to the approved (or formerly approved) referee User.

      In the event of termination, Subscriber’s patients can request deletion of their health data through a formal written request to TQHQ and data will be deleted with one (1) week from the system.

    20. VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE AND SERVICE

      TQHQ may disclose any information it has about the Subscriber (including its identity) if it determines that such disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation or complaint regarding the Subscriber’s use of the EMR, or to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) TQHQ’s rights or property, or the rights or property of visitors to or users of the EMR. TQHQ reserves the right at all times to disclose any information that TQHQ deems necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request. TQHQ also may disclose the Subscriber’s information when TQHQ determines that applicable law requires or permits such disclosure, including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection purposes.

      The Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that TQHQ may preserve any transmittal or communication by the Subscriber with TQHQ through the Website or EMR, and may also disclose such data if required to do so by law or TQHQ determines that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with legal process, (2) enforce these Terms of Use and Service, (3) respond to claims that any such data violates the rights of others, or (4) protect the rights, property or personal safety of TQHQ, its employees, users of or visitors to the EMR, and the public.

      Each Party agrees that if the other determines that the former has violated these Terms of Use and Service or other agreements or guidelines which may be associated with the use of the EMR, the aggrieved Party may, in its sole discretion, suspend (if the violation can be cured) or terminate access to the EMR and/or block future access to the EMR. Each Party also agrees that any violation by each of them of these Terms of Use and Service will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to the aggrieved Party, for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and each Party consents to the other obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that the aggrieved Party may deem necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies that each Party may have at law or in equity.

      If either Party takes any legal action against the other Party as a result of the violation of these Terms of Use and Service, the aggrieved Party will be entitled to recover from the other Party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action in addition to any other relief granted to the aggrieved Party.

    21. GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

      All matters relating to Subscriber’s access or use of the EMR, including all disputes, will be governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines without regard to its conflicts of laws, and provisions. The Subscriber agrees to the jurisdiction by and venue in the appropriate courts of Quezon City, Philippines, and waives any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

      To the extent allowed by law, any claim under these Terms of Use and Service must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, otherwise such claim or cause of action is barred.

      No recovery may be sought or received for damages other than out-of-pocket expenses, except that the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees unless TQHQ is found to be at fault in such claim.

      In the event of any controversy or dispute between TQHQ and the Subscriber arising out of or in connection with the Subscriber’s use of the EMR, the parties shall attempt, promptly and in good faith, to resolve any such dispute. In the event they are unable to resolve any such dispute within a reasonable time [not to exceed thirty (30) days], then either Party may submit such controversy or dispute to mediation. If the dispute cannot be resolved through mediation, then the parties shall be free to pursue any right or remedy available to them under applicable law.

    22. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED

      TQHQ administers and operates the https://www.bluehr.ph Website in a cloud service Amazon Web Services (AWS).

TQHQ reserves the right to limit, in its sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any feature, product or EMR to any person or geographic area. Any offer for any feature, product or EMR made on the EMR is void where prohibited. If the Subscriber chooses to access the EMR from outside the territory of the Republic of the Philippines, it does so on its own initiative and it is solely responsible for complying with applicable laws.

    23. MISCELLANEOUS

      If any of the provisions of these Terms of Use and Service are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of these Terms of Use and Service, so that these Terms of Use and Service shall remain in full force and effect.

      These Terms of Use and Service constitute the entire agreement between the Subscriber and TQHQ with regard to the Subscriber’s use of the EMR, and any and all other written or oral agreements or understandings previously existing between the Subscriber and TQHQ with respect to such use are hereby superseded and cancelled.

      TQHQ will not accept any counter-offers to these Terms of Use and Service, and all such offers are hereby categorically rejected.

      Either Party’s failure to insist on or enforce strict performance of these Terms of Use and Service shall not be construed as a waiver by such Party of any provision or any right it has to enforce these Terms of Use and Service, nor shall any course of conduct between TQHQ and the Subscriber be deemed to modify any provision of these Terms of Use and Service.

      These Terms of Use and Service shall not be interpreted or construed to confer any rights or remedies on any third parties.
