Terms of Use

Effective: January 7, 2019

Last Updated: February 2020 These Terms of Use (“Terms of Use” or “Terms”) are a legal contract between you (You/Your” or “User”) and Optimize Systems Inc. (“Us” or “We” or “Optimize”), creators of the optimize.health application (the “Application”), and govern Your use of the Application, the Optimize website (the “Website”), and all of the text, data, information, graphics, software, photographs, functionality, and more (all of which We refer to as the “App”). These Terms apply to all individuals accessing the App. By accepting these Terms of Use and using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to these Terms and Our Privacy Policy. Any capitalized terms not defined in these Terms are defined in the Privacy Policy.

Business Associate Agreement

All organizations authorized to access and use the App are required to enter into a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) with Optimize in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). YOU MAY NOT USE THE APP UNTIL YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS ENTERED INTO A BAA WITH OPTIMIZE.

What are the App and Devices?

Section 1

The App and associated devices are intended to provide a convenient platform for healthcare providers to use to proactively track and analyze their patients’ health condition(s) through pertinent health data such as vital signs, treatment and medication adherence, and outcomes. It is not intended for use by healthcare providers or patients for continuous patient monitoring in such a way that would allow immediate clinical action in an emergency situation. Specifically, the App allows You to do the following:

  1. Set up patient profiles, including customizing the thresholds that are used for monitoring;
  2. Review monitored physiological data;
  3. Track provider/staff time spent reviewing collected data.

You may access and use the App only in accordance with these Terms, and You agree to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including any other policies incorporated into these Terms, such as Our Privacy Policy.

Changes to the App

We are continuously working to make sure the App comports with the highest industry standards and is of the best quality we can offer. To make sure we are able to do this, we often make changes to do things like improve its functionality, add features, or fix issues. Therefore, we retain the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes to the App when and as we see fit. These may affect the previous mode of operation of the App, and though We expect that the changes we make will enhance the App for You, it is possible that you may not agree. We also reserve the right to establish certain limitations on your use of or access to the App at any time, with or without notice.

In connection with any change we make to the App, we will do our best to provide you with the option of whether or not to install any applicable update. Sometimes, though, we may require you to install the update to continue accessing the App. In all cases, you agree that Optimize may deliver these updates to as part of the App.

Devices

The App is intended to be used in association with certain monitoring devices (the “Devices”), such as a cellular-enabled blood pressure cuff, weight scale, or blood pressure cuff. The Devices are provided to your patients through Optimize, but Optimize does not manufacture the Devices and therefore Optimize does not offer any, and expressly disclaims all, device or product warranties with respect to the Devices. The manufacturer of the Device(s) may or may not offer a warranty, and we are happy to assist you in accessing any applicable manufacturer warranties that may be available to you. Please contact us at support@optimize.health for this assistance.

Please also note, the Device(s) provided through Optimize are exclusive to Optimize and shall not be connected to or used with any app or software platform other than the App. Optimize may at times provide discounted or leased Devices, Services and Support in exchange for this exclusivity. You are not permitted to use or allow any third party to use Devices purchased through Optimize other than in association with the App.

What does Optimize NOT provide?

Section 2

We do NOT provide medical advice

THE APP CANNOT AND IS NOT DESIGNED, INTENDED, OR APPROPRIATE TO REPLACE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS AND PATIENTS OR TO ADDRESS SERIOUS, EMERGENT, OR LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES.

Optimize is not responsible for accuracy of the data collected or transmitted through the App. Questions and information collected through the App are designed for informational and/or research purposes and to identify potential patterns in symptomologies and treatments; the App and/or any data derived from the App are in no way intended to replace Your independent clinical judgment. You are responsible for making medical decisions and exercising clinical judgment with respect to your patients’ healthcare. Optimize is not liable in any way for malpractice or substandard treatment You may provide. You are using the App at Your own risk.

 General information available through the App about medical conditions, symptomology, available drugs, treatment options, or other general information such as educational articles and videos is provided for general educational purposes only.

We are NOT an insurance billing company

While we provide a convenient platform for You to use to track information that may allow You to provide certain services that may or may not be reimbursable by federal or state health insurance payors, we are not billing experts and any information provided to you with respect to billing is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or construed to guarantee reimbursement of any services. You are responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations with respect to submitting reimbursement claims to insurance payors.

  2. the App Provider has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Applications;

How does Optimize protect my privacy?

Section 8

Optimize respects the information You provide to us. Please see our Privacy Policy for an explanation of the information that we collect from You and how we use Your information. By accessing or using the Website or App, or by downloading or uploading any content from or through the App, You acknowledge and agree to the provisions of the Privacy Policy and affirm that the Privacy Policy is a part of these terms.

We may share your information with third parties as described in the Privacy Policy, and will seek your consent before doing so where required by law.

We are not responsible for nor liable to You or any third party for a third party’s treatment of Personal Data, including any collection, use, disclosure, storage, loss, theft or misuse of Personal Data, whether or not such treatment violates applicable law.

What does the App cost?

Section 9

If you are an Authorized User, the App is provided to you free of charge through the company you are affiliated with.

Organizations that have purchased access to the App are required to pay all of the fees listed on the quote provided to you by Optimize (the “Fees”). Fees may include, among others, Month-to-Month Software License Fees, On-Site Implementation and Training Fees, Professional Support/Consulting and Support Fees, and/or Device Fees. All one-time Fees are due at the time of acceptance of the quote provided to you. Additional one-time Fees may be generated either through a quote or through our online store. Recurring monthly software license fees are based on the number of active patients in a billing period. Unless otherwise defined in the payment terms section of the quote, payments are due upon receipt of invoice. Invoices will be sent on or about the first business day following the end of a billing period. An active patient is defined as a patient that has taken and transmitted at least one reading during the billing period. A billing period shall be defined as a calendar month unless defined otherwise in the quote.

Payment Methods

Fees must be paid via automatic credit card or ACH transfer, which can be set up through the quote, over the phone, or by a separate form that may be sent by Optimize sales, customer support, or finance departments upon request. By using our software you are authorizing us to automatically draw one of these accounts. By authorizing payment to Optimize, you agree to allow us to share your information with a third party for payment processing purposes. Refer to our Privacy Policy for more information.

Overdue Payments

Any payment owed that you owe that is not paid on time may accrue, at Our discretion, late charges at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding balance per month, or at the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the due date of such payment until the date you pay it.

If there are payments outstanding for more than sixty (60) days, We will provide you with thirty (30) days to pay us the outstanding amount. If, after those thirty days you still have not paid, We may suspend Authorized Users’ access to the App until those amounts are paid in full and you will continue to be obligated to pay all additional Fees that accrue while suspended.

Taxes

All Fees payable to Optimize under these Terms are exclusive of all local, state, federal and foreign taxes, levies, or duties of any nature (“Taxes”), and all payments to Optimize are payable in full without reduction for Taxes. You are responsible for payment of all applicable Taxes.  If We have a legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes that You are responsible for, we will invoice you for the appropriate amount and You will be obligated to pay that amount to Us unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.

Device Fees

You may choose to purchase Devices outright or you may lease them for a fixed monthly charge if this is offered by Optimize or a 3rd party financing partner. If you choose to lease the Devices and terminate your Access to the App prior to the end of the agreed upon contract term, you may be charged an early termination fee equal to the greater of $120 per device or the retail price of the Device(s) on Optimize’s online store at the time of termination multiplied by the number of leased devices. This termination fee may be reduced by $10 for each month that you have already made monthly payments for the patient using the leased device. Please see our Lease Terms for more detail on leasing Devices from us.

Changes in Fees

We may change the price of any of the Fees from time to time, and We may add new fees and charges when we add new features or if there is a change in business or legal rules, but we will send advance notice of these changes by email to the address in your account. Any increase in Fees would become effective the month following the month in which we send you the notice unless we specifically state otherwise in the notice. If you do not agree to pay the new price or other applicable charges, you may terminate your subscription before the price change goes into effect, which would become effective at the expiration of your then current billing cycle. See Section 17 below for information on how you to terminate your subscription.

Computer Equipment and Internet Access

Section 10

You are responsible for obtaining, installing, maintaining and operating all software, hardware or other equipment (collectively, “Systems”) necessary for You to access and use the App. This includes, without limitation, obtaining Internet services, using up to date web-browsers and the best commercially available encryption, antivirus, anti-spyware, and internet security software.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Your Indemnification Obligations

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Optimize, its clients, and its suppliers and their respective affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, servants and representatives of each from any liability, loss, claim, suit, damage, and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or in any way connected with Your access to or use of the App or Devices, Your violation of these Terms or any negligent or wrongful conduct by You or related to Your account by You or any other person accessing the App through Your account, regardless of whether You were aware of such use.

Infringement

Subject to the limits of liability described in Section 14 above, Optimize will defend its customer organizations from and against any claims brought by a third party that the App infringes or misappropriates the patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property right(s) of any third party (an “Infringement Claim”).

In the event of an Infringement Claim, Optimize may, at its election and sole expense, (i) modify the App so that such App is non-infringing and functionally equivalent; or (ii) obtain the right for your organization and Authorized Users to continue using the App at no additional cost to your organization. If none of the foregoing is commercially practicable, Optimize may terminate your access to the App upon reasonable notice to your organization.

How and when can my account be terminated?

Section 17

If your access to the App is terminated by You or Us for any reason, you will still owe us any Fees that had accrued prior to the date your Access was terminated.

Arbitration Agreement

Section 18

You agree that any dispute between You and Optimize arising out of or relating to these Terms will be governed by the dispute resolution procedure outlined below. We want to address Your concerns without needing a formal legal case, so We have included a tiered dispute resolution process. This Arbitration Agreement section may be modified by written agreement between You and Optimize.

Before filing a claim against Optimize, You agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting support@Optimizehealth.com. We will try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting You through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, You may bring a formal proceeding, as outlined below.

In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or a breach of these Terms, You must first attempt to settle the dispute with non-binding mediation through the American Health Lawyers Association (“AHLA”).

You shall, in writing, join Optimize in a joint demand for mediation and afterward jointly select a suitable mediator from the AHLA roster. If You and Optimize cannot agree upon a mediator, the AHLA shall designate one. The mediation will be conducted according to the AHLA’s Agreement to Mediate. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the mediator shall be non-binding, confidential, and inadmissible in arbitration or any other subsequent proceeding. Either You or Optimize shall have the right to bypass mediation and/or reject the Mediator’s findings, conclusions, and recommendations. In which event, all claims and disputes shall be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the AHLA. You and Optimize agree to employ three (3) arbitrators (the “Panel”), where one arbitrator (1) is selected by You, one (1) is selected by Optimize, and the third (3rd) is selected by mutual consent of You and Optimize. If You and Optimize cannot agree upon the third arbitrator, the first two (2) arbitrators chosen shall select the third arbitrator. The selection decision shall be binding.

The arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or be solely based on written submissions—the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the Panel may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

You and Optimize shall each pay 50% of all mediator and/or arbitrator costs, expenses, and fees incurred in connection with mediating and/or arbitrating under these Terms.

Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms must be initiated for mediation and/or arbitration within two (2) years from its accrual date. Any claim or dispute initiated two (2) years or longer from its accrual date shall be time-barred and dismissed. 

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate: Optimize may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the App or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions: YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH OPTIMIZE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE.

Notwithstanding the above, You can decline or “opt out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting support@Optimizehealth.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that You (first and last name) decline this dispute resolution process.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY NOT OPTING-OUT OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS DESCRIBED, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL TO WHICH YOU MAY OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION OR LITIGATION IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE.

If You opt-out of the dispute resolution process described in this section, or if any matter is otherwise determined not to be subject to such dispute resolution process, You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Washington within twenty-five (25) miles of Seattle, Washington in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms. You agree that any and all claims and matters arising out of these Terms, unless subject to the dispute resolution process described above, may be heard and determined in any such court, and You hereby waive any right to object to such filing on grounds of improper venue, forum non-conveniens, or other venue-related grounds, unless such objection asserts that the claim or matter in dispute is subject to determination through the dispute resolution process described above.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Through the course of Your relationship with Optimize, You and Optimize may share Confidential Information with each other. “Confidential Information” means any and all non-public technical and non-technical information disclosed by one party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) in any form or medium, whether oral, written, graphical or electronic, relevant to these Terms or Your relationship with Optimize, that is marked confidential and proprietary, or that the Disclosing Party identifies as confidential and proprietary, or that by the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure and/or receipt ought to be treated as confidential and proprietary information, including but not limited to:  (a) techniques, sketches, drawings, models, inventions (whether or not patented or patentable), know-how, processes, apparatuses, formulae, equipment, algorithms, software programs, software source and object codes and documents, APIs, and other creative works (whether or not copyrighted or copyrightable); (b) information concerning research, experimental work, development, design details and specifications, engineering, financial information, procurement requirements, purchasing, manufacturing, customer lists, business forecasts, sales and merchandising and marketing plans and information; (c) the business relationships and affairs of either party and its clients, patients, and referral sources; (d) the internal policies and procedures of either party; and (e) proprietary or confidential information of any third party who may disclose such information to Disclosing Party or Receiving Party in the course of Disclosing Party’s business.  Our Confidential Information includes the App and our data.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Optimize’s prior written consent. Any attempt by You to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Optimize may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by Optimize via email (in each case to the address that You provide); and/or (ii) by posting to the App. For notices made by email, the notice will be effective as of the date the notice is first transmitted.

 GENERAL

The failure of Optimize to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Optimize. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If, for any reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
