The Benefit Investigation Services, Prior Authorization Services, Program Enrollment Services, and the Platform, including all relevant content and functionality associated with each, are collectively referred to herein as the “Services.” Provider Users and Support Staff Users are collectively referred to herein as “Users.” As a User, these Terms govern Your use of the Services.

Any capitalized terms not defined in these Terms are defined in the Privacy Policy.

WHAT DOES EBLU NOT PROVIDE?

We provide a convenient platform for Users to conduct benefits investigations and obtain prior authorization and pharmaceutical manufacturer savings program enrollment support that may enable Provider Users to provide certain services or prescribe certain medications that may or may not be reimbursable by federal or state health insurance payers. Any information provided to You with respect to benefits, prior authorization, program enrollment, and billing is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon or construed to guarantee reimbursement of any services. eBlu makes no representations or warranties, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of the information provided.

The registration process begins when a designated Support Staff User enters Your demographic information (e.g., name, email address, practice demographic information, role) in the Platform (collectively, Your “Registration Data”). You must create a password to access Your User Account. You may change or correct information by accessing Your User Account or by contacting [email protected].

By registering another person, You hereby represent that You are legally authorized to do so.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES MAY INVOLVE OR REQUIRE THE TRANSMISSION OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DATA. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DATA CHARGES THAT MAY BE CHARGED BY YOUR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER OR THAT MAY OTHERWISE ARISE FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

HOW WILL EBLU NOTIFY YOU OF CHANGES TO THESE TERMS?

With the exception of the Arbitration Agreement (see “Dispute Resolution” section) included near the end of these Terms, eBlu reserves the right to change or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice to You. If We materially change or modify these Terms, We will let You know by (1) posting a new version of the Terms to the Platform; and/or (2) sending You a notification to the email address provided to Us in the Registration Data.

If You continue to use the Services after We have informed You of the changes, You agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If You do not accept the changes, You should immediately stop using the Services and delete all files associated with the Services on Your device.

HOW SHOULD USERS PROTECT THEIR USER CREDENTIALS?

The Services are designed to require Users to create a password to access and use the Services (“User Credentials”). You are solely responsible for (i) maintaining the strict confidentiality of Your User Credentials, (ii) not allowing another person to use Your User Credentials to access the Services unless with Your express permission, and (iii) any and all damages or losses that may be incurred or suffered as a result of any activities that occur under Your User Credentials, regardless of whether You were aware of those activities. You agree to immediately notify eBlu in writing by email of any unauthorized use of Your User Credentials or any other compromise of the security of Your User Account.

WE ARE NOT AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY HARM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE THEFT OF YOUR USER CREDENTIALS AND/OR ANY RESULTING ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL DATA, YOUR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR USER CREDENTIALS, OR THE USE OF YOUR USER CREDENTIALS BY ANOTHER PERSON OR ENTITY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU WERE AWARE OF SUCH USE.

You may be held liable for any losses incurred by eBlu and/or its affiliates, officers, directors, and representatives due to someone else’s use of Your User Account or User Credentials, regardless of whether You were aware of such use.

By using the Services and accepting these Terms, You further acknowledge that eBlu may share Personal Data with third parties as described in the Privacy Policy, and will seek consent before doing so where required by law.

If You choose to access one of these Third-Party Sites, You will leave Our Platform and be redirected to an environment owned and controlled by an external third party.

We provide links to Third-Party Sites to You as a convenience, and We do not verify, make any representations, or take responsibility for such Third-Party Sites, including, without limitation, the truthfulness, accuracy, quality, or completeness of the content, application, links displayed, and/or any other activities conducted on or through such Third-Party Sites.

Any reference in the Services to any product, service, publication, institution, or organization of any third-party entity, or individual does not constitute or imply Our endorsement or recommendation.

Third-Party Services.

To the extent any features, aspects, products, or services offered through the Services are provided, in whole or in part, by third parties (“Third-Party Services” as provided by “Third-Party Service Providers”), You may be subject to additional terms and conditions. To the extent applicable, You will receive a notification and have the opportunity to accept such terms and conditions. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THOSE ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT USE THE RELATED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.

In the event of any inconsistency between terms of use relating to Third-Party Services and these Terms, those additional terms and conditions will control with respect to such Third-Party Services. Third-Party Service Providers may collect and use certain information about You, as specified in the Third-Party Service Provider’s privacy policies. Prior to providing information to any Third-Party Service Provider, You should review their privacy policy. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER’S PRIVACY POLICY OR TERMS OF USE, YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE RELATED THIRD-PARTY SERVICES. WE WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION COLLECTED OR USED BY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS.

YOUR REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In addition to other representations and warranties contained throughout the Terms, You represent and warrant that Your use of the Services will be in accordance with these Terms and all applicable laws, regulations, rules, and eBlu policies and procedures (to the extent such policies and procedures are communicated to You). Specifically, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO SHARE PERSONAL DATA (BELONGING TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS ON WHOSE BEHALF YOU ARE SUBMITTING SUCH PERSONAL DATA) WITH US.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

No Warranties.

UNLESS SET FORTH IN A SEPARATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE USER AND EBLU, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EBLU EXPLICITLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF THE COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. EBLU MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR BE AVAILABLE ON AN UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE BASIS. EBLU MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE QUALITY OF ANY PRODUCTS, APPLICATIONS, OR MATERIALS ACCESSED OR PURCHASED THROUGH THE APPLICATION OR THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, COMPLETENESS, OR RELIABILITY OF ANY CONTENT OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM EBLU OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM OR MATERIALS, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS.

EBLU CAN NOT ALWAYS FORESEE OR ANTICIPATE TECHNICAL OR OTHER DIFFICULTIES THAT MAY RESULT IN FAILURE TO OBTAIN DATA OR LOSS OF DATA, PERSONALIZATION SETTINGS, OR OTHER SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS. EBLU CAN NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TIMELINESS, ACCURACY, DELETION, NON-DELIVERY, OR FAILURE TO STORE ANY USER DATA, COMMUNICATIONS, OR PERSONALIZATION SETTINGS. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BACK UP ANY INFORMATION YOU ENTER INTO THE PLATFORM.

Your Responsibility for Loss or Damage.

YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. YOU WILL NOT HOLD EBLU OR ITS THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS, AS APPLICABLE, RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO ANY OF YOUR COMPUTERS OR DATA.

Limitation of Liability.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES REMAINS WITH YOU. NEITHER EBLU NOR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE SERVICES WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR APPLICATIONS, OR FOR ANY DAMAGES FOR PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR FROM ANY COMMUNICATIONS, INTERACTIONS, OR MEETINGS WITH OTHER USERS OF THE SERVICES OR OTHER PERSONS WITH WHOM YOU COMMUNICATE OR INTERACT AS A RESULT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT EBLU HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED IN MEETING ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

EBLU IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY PERSON FOR ANY DECISION MADE OR ACTION TAKEN IN RELIANCE UPON INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE SERVICES. EBLU IS NOT LIABLE TO ANY USER OR PERSON FOR ANY HARM CAUSED BY YOUR NEGLIGENCE OR MISCONDUCT, WHETHER OR NOT RELYING UPON INFORMATION COLLECTED, GENERATED, OR STORED VIA THE SERVICES. BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH STATES, EBLU’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED AND WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUDED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUT SHALL, IN NO EVENT, EXCEED $100.00. ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THE USAGE OF THE SERVICES MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT FROM WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE.

INDEMNIFICATION

YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS EBLU AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES 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 SERVICES, YOUR VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS, OR ANY NEGLIGENT OR WRONGFUL CONDUCT BY YOU OR RELATED TO YOUR USER ACCOUNT BY YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON ACCESSING THE SERVICES THROUGH YOUR USER ACCOUNT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU WERE AWARE OF SUCH USE.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

You acknowledge and agree that if You submit any Feedback to Us, You grant Us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferable license under any and all intellectual property rights that You own or control to use, copy, modify, create derivative works based upon, and otherwise exploit the Feedback for any purpose.

USER ACCOUNT TERMINATION

If You breach any of these Terms, We may suspend or disable Your User Account or terminate Your access to the Services without prior notice to You. There may be other instances where We may need to terminate Your access to the Services that are not related to any of Your actions or inactions. We reserve the right to terminate Your access to and use of the Services and materials at any time, with or without cause.

If You wish to terminate Your User Account, please contact eBlu at [email protected], immediately discontinue Your use of the Services, and delete all files associated with the Services from Your computer.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

*PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS*

You agree that any dispute between You and eBlu 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 Dispute Resolution section may be modified by a written agreement between You and eBlu.

Informal Dispute Resolution.

Before filing a claim against eBlu, You agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting [email protected]. Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to Your satisfaction through email.

Arbitration Agreement.

In the unlikely event that Our support team is unable to resolve a complaint You may have (or if We have not been able to resolve a dispute with You after attempting to do so informally), including, but not limited to, any alleged breach of these Terms, You agree to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration. Arbitration, which is often less expensive, faster, and less formal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and may, but do not have to, award legal fees, arbitrator’s fees and costs, and other costs incurred by the party that does not win the dispute. You agree that any dispute will be exclusively, fully, and finally resolved using binding arbitration through the American Health Lawyers Association (“AHLA”).

Arbitration Procedure.

You and eBlu agree to employ three (3) arbitrators (the “Panel”), where one arbitrator (1) is selected by You, one (1) arbitrator is selected by eBlu, and the third (3rd) arbitrator is selected by mutual consent of You and eBlu. If You and eBlu 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.

Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms must be initiated by 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.

Cost of Arbitration.

You and eBlu 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.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.

eBlu may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services 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.

YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH EBLU 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.

Opt-Out of Alternative Dispute Resolution Process.

Notwithstanding the above, You can decline or “opt-out” of the alternative dispute resolution process described above by contacting [email protected] 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 A 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.

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 submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware 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-convenience, 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.

GENERAL CONTRACT TERMS

Entire Agreement.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any other terms incorporated by reference constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between eBlu and You regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between eBlu and You regarding the Services.

Governing Law.

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its conflict of laws provisions.

Assignment.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without eBlu’s prior written consent. Any attempt by You to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. eBlu may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.

Notices.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by eBlu via email (in each case to the address that You provide); and/or (ii) by posting to the Platform. For notices made by email, the notice will be effective as of the date the notice is first transmitted. You agree that any notice received from eBlu electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such notice is in writing. YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON FILE WITH EBLU IS ACCURATE AND CURRENT, AND NOTICE TO YOU SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE UPON THE SENDING OF AN EMAIL TO THE ADDRESS WE HAVE ON FILE.

You shall give any notice to eBlu by email to: [email protected]. Notice to eBlu shall be effective upon receipt of notice by eBlu.

No Inadvertent Waiver.

The failure of eBlu 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 eBlu.

Severability.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms remain in full force, provided that the essential terms and conditions remain valid, binding, and enforceable and the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by these Terms are materially preserved.

Intellectual Property Rights.

“Intellectual Property Rights” means all intellectual property rights or similar proprietary rights, including (i) patent rights and utility models, (ii) copyrights and database rights, (iii) trademarks, trade names, domain names, and trade dress and the goodwill associated therewith, (iv) trade secrets, (v) mask works, and (vi) industrial design rights; in each case, including any registrations of, applications to register, and renewals and extensions of, any of the foregoing in any jurisdiction in the world.

As between You and Us, all right, title, and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in the Services, any related materials, logos, products, and documentation, and any other property or materials furnished or made available hereunder, and all modifications and enhancements thereof, belong to and are retained solely by eBlu or its licensors, vendors, and affiliates, as applicable. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Us. Any use of the Services not expressly permitted by these Terms is a breach of these Terms and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

Remedies.

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.

Contacting eBlu.

Please feel free to contact Us at [email protected] or at Our mailing address if You have any questions about these Terms and/or any other documents referenced in these Terms.
