There are currently three (3) possible levels of authorization available to access and/or use the Services, namely: (i) read-only; (ii) read and write; and (iii) read, write and delete pages. The authorization level to be attributed to User is at the sole discretion of Infoway and, as such, Infoway shall have the right to attribute to User a different level of authorization than the one requested by User. Infoway shall also have the right to change User's authorization level from time to time, as Infoway deems appropriate. If User is part of an organization, Infoway will generally attribute to such User the level of authorization that was determined and communicated to Infoway by the organization's management, unless Infoway has reasonable grounds to object to such authorization level. There is no limit to the number of Users within the same organization that can request an account to access the Infoway Platform and/or use the Services provided, however, Infoway reserves its right to limit the number of accounts or enter into discussions with the organization's management regarding potential cost-recovery measures if the creation of a significant number of accounts for one (1) organization causes Infoway to be liable for additional licensing fees, costs or expenses.

User understands and agrees that from time to time, the Infoway Platform and/or any of the Services may be inaccessible, unavailable or inoperable for any reason, including: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs which Infoway may undertake from time to time; or (iii) causes beyond the reasonable control of Infoway or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Infoway. While Infoway will attempt for the Infoway Platform and/or the Services to be available on a continuous basis, User acknowledges and agrees that Infoway cannot ensure or guarantee the availability of any of the Services on a continuous or uninterrupted basis. User also understands and agrees that Infoway is not responsible for any functionality of any of the Services, and that Infoway has no responsibility in respect thereof. In addition, Infoway's performance under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the quality of the Infoway Content, the Provider Content and/or the User Content) is conditioned and dependent upon, and subject to the performance and services quality of various third parties, including other Users who will post or include Provider Content and/or User Content into the Services, and Infoway shall be relieved and excused of any deficiency to perform hereunder (including, but not limited to, any data-related quality issues).

   1. Hours of Operation and Procedure

Infoway will provide support services to User during Infoway's normal business hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time (Standard or Daylight Savings Time, as applicable) on normal business day (as Infoway is closed on both Canadian and Ontario public holidays). Where emergency support is offered by Infoway by virtue of a separate agreement with User, such emergency support shall only be provided between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time (Standard or Daylight Savings Time, as applicable) on normal business days. Support services will be provided primarily through e-mails sent to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Support services to Users who submit Provider Content will also be available via telephone, or by direct submission to Infoway's online issue tracking system; details on how to obtain such support services will be communicated directly to Users who submit Provider Content.

E-mails sent to Infoway for support and technical assistance services should include at least: (i) the User's account information; (ii) the name and contact information of the person responsible to follow-up on the technical problem on behalf of User; and (iii) a detailed description of the technical problem encountered by User including details of any error notification received, circumstances in which the error occurred and the frequency of the error's occurrence.

2. Emergency After Hours support

Emergency After Hours support is only available to User experiencing one or more of the following, with respect to the Infoway Platform:

1. a Service is unavailable;
2. a Service does not respond to normal attempts at access; or
3. a Service responds with an error that cannot be bypassed and which prohibits the User from completing the actions he/she is attempting.

Each such support request received by Infoway during the Emergency After Hours support period shall be evaluated by Infoway upon receipt, on a case by case basis, and Emergency After Hours support shall only be provided to User if Infoway believes, in its entire discretion, that the support request qualifies under the Emergency After Hours support conditions as set forth herein. Any support request which Infoway believes, in its entire discretion, does not qualify for Emergency After Hours support, shall be dealt with according to Infoway's regular support conditions.

3. Scheduled Maintenance

Infoway reserves the right to do maintenance of the Infoway Platform and/or the Services whenever necessary. Infoway will strive to limit downtime during normal business hours on normal business days as outlined in Sub-section 5(a)hereof. Maintenance will normally be scheduled on weekends, late evening or early morning hours, except when emergency maintenance is required.

User should be aware that Provider Content may be subject to additional maintenance windows, which may differ from those of Infoway. User acknowledges that Infoway has no control over the maintenance of Provider Content and that Infoway has no liability to User in that regard.

4. Scope of Support and Technical Assistance Services

Infoway only provides to User support and technical assistance services for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services. User (at its sole cost and expense), is solely responsible for obtaining independent support for all hardware, software, electrical and other physical requirements for User's access and/or use of the Services.

5. Response Time

Infoway will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to requests for support and technical assistance sent to the e-mail address specified in Sub-section 5(a)by the end of the next business day of receipt of such request by Infoway. The response time specified in the preceding sentence only constitutes an undertaking on the part of Infoway to acknowledge the receipt of User's request for support and technical assistance, and does not constitute a deadline for resolution of the technical problem(s) disclosed to Infoway by User.

6. Termination of Support and Technical Assistance Services

Infoway currently plans to support, maintain and operate the Infoway Platform and the Services, using commercially reasonable efforts, until June 30, 2020. Should Infoway decide or be required to terminate the operation of the Infoway Platform and/or the Services prior to June 30, 2020, Infoway will provide a six (6) month prior notice of such early termination to User.

In such later circumstances, Infoway will take commercially reasonable measures to assist Users who have submitted Provider Content in migrating such Provider Content to the same technological platform (e.g. software) as used by Infoway at the time of migration, such technological platform to be licensed directly by the Users who have submitted Provider Content. It is hereby agreed and understood that Infoway's assistance in migrating the Provider Content will be offered on a best effort basis and does not constitute a guarantee that such migration will be successfully completed. For the sake of clarity, if User is not a provider of Provider Content, Infoway shall have no obligation towards User in the event of termination of the Services and/or the Infoway Platform.

6. FINANCIAL TERMS

Except for certain areas and/or functionalities of the Services that are currently restricted to users with HL7 International Access (a program of Infoway the details of which are available here https://infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/standards/standards-access) the Services and the Infoway Platform are offered to User free of charge. However, Infoway reserves its right to charge fees for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use the Services.

Infoway shall also suspend the User's account and its access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services until all information required for Infoway to collect the fees have been provided by User (e.g. credit card information). Should Infoway elect to charge fees for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use the Services, all users (including the User) shall have to pay such fees, irrespective of their date of subscription to the Services; for the sake of clarity, no user (including the User) will have prior rights or be "grandfathered" to access and/or use the Services free of charge.

 

Should Infoway elect to charge fees for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use the Services, such fees shall exclude, and shall be paid in addition to and without any reduction for, any and all applicable sales, goods and services, use and similar taxes, duties, withholdings, tariffs, levies or other governmental charges or expenses (including any value added taxes), but excluding any taxes on Infoway's net income (collectively the "Taxes"), which shall be billed to and paid by User at the same time as any applicable fees. Should User fail to pay any fees due (and related Taxes), Infoway shall be entitled, in addition to Infoway's other rights or remedies hereunder or at law, in equity or otherwise, at its option, to: (i) terminate this Agreement immediately; and/or (ii) suspend, in whole or in part, the provision of the Services, the Infoway Platform or other benefits hereunder, until such time as User's account is in good standing again. Infoway may also assess, and User shall then also pay, a finance charge of the lesser of 1.5% per month (18% annually) or the highest amount allowed by law on all past due amounts. If fees are charged for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services, such fees shall be non-refundable. Infoway may also assess, and User shall then also pay, fees in respect of any re-activation of User's account following a termination or suspension.

7. PRIVACY

In no circumstances should the User access the Infoway Platform and/or use the Services (or attempt to do any of the foregoing) to gain access to personally identifying information or health-related personal information. If User accesses the Infoway Platform and/or uses the Services to gain access to any such information, User agrees that it shall assume all liability arising therefrom and indemnify and hold Infoway harmless of any potential claim related thereto as per the terms of Section 4 of Exhibit A.

Infoway shall have the right to disclose any information about User, including registration data, in order to comply with any applicable laws and/or requests under legal process, to operate the Services properly, to protect Infoway's property or rights, or otherwise pursuant to Infoway's Privacy Policy available at: www.infoway-inforoute.ca/privacy-policy.

8. TERM AND TERMINATION

This Agreement becomes effective upon the Effective Date and shall continue in effect and be renewed from month to month until terminated in accordance with its terms (the "Term"). If User violates the terms of this Agreement, User's right to access the Infoway Platform and/or use the Services shall automatically terminate. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, Infoway may also at any time terminate the Services and/or this Agreement for convenience on e-mail notice to User. User may also terminate this Agreement and its right to access the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services at any time for convenience by providing written notice of termination to Infoway by e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. User's termination notice shall be effective upon receipt by Infoway; provided that, if User terminates this Agreement and Infoway has elected to charge fees for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services pursuant to Section 6, User's account will be deemed terminated on the last day of User's billing cycle during which Infoway receives such notice of termination in accordance with this Agreement. If fees are charged for access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services pursuant to Section 6, User shall pay to Infoway all amounts due, payable or outstanding upon any termination of this Agreement. In addition, but subject to Sections 5and 6, upon termination of User's access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services, any Provider Content or User Content included or available through the Services by User shall no longer be available to User. It is User's sole responsibility to make copies of any Provider Content or User Content, from time to time, as he or she deems appropriate.

Subject to the second paragraph of this Section 1.1 of Exhibit A, User hereby grants to Infoway: (a) an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid up, non-exclusive, assignable and sub-licensable worldwide license, to use the Provider Content and the User Content (whether or not such content is protectable by Intellectual Property Rights) provided by User to be available through the access of the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services; for the sake of clarity, the license being granted by User to Infoway in relation to the Provider Content and the User Content shall include, without limitation, the right to use, reproduce, copy, adapt, modify, create derivative or other original works in relation thereto, convert, publish, disseminate, translate, index, summarize, distribute or otherwise make available to the public any such Provider Content and User Content, in any form, media, or technology now known or hereafter developed, on terms and conditions consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. As between the Parties, all rights, titles and interest in and to any and all derivative or original works created by Infoway or any third party, in relation to any Provider Content or User Content (including, without limitation, any summaries, indexing or translation of any such Provider Content or User Content), are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Infoway or any such third party.

The preceding paragraph may not apply to a User who acts on behalf of an entity that has entered into a separate written agreement with Infoway, pursuant to which the said entity provides Provider Content to be included and/or made available through the access and/or use of the Services. If this is the case and the submission of Provider Content by User to the Services is governed by a separate written agreement with Infoway, then: (i) the terms and conditions contained in the separate agreement entered into by Infoway and User (or the entity for which the User is acting) shall prevail in the event of any inconsistency with this Agreement; and (ii) that separate agreement and this Agreement shall be considered to supplement and complement each other to the extent that there is no inconsistency between their respective terms and conditions. In the absence of a separate written agreement between Infoway and the User, any content submitted by User for inclusion in the Infoway Platform or the Services shall be considered to be governed by the first paragraph of this Sub-section 1.1 of Exhibit A.

1.2 OWNERSHIP OF CONTENT

As between the Parties, and except for content or material used by Infoway under license from a third party, Infoway shall be deemed to be the sole and exclusive owner of all Infoway Content (whether or not such content is protectable by Intellectual Property Rights), and in each case any and all components thereof, but excluding, for greater certainty, any such items that are considered Provider Content or User Content. User’s rights to use any Infoway Content, if any, are limited to and are as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and are strictly personal and temporary utilization license rights as further set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, User has no rights with respect to the Infoway Content or any component thereof. No property, ownership or real right or interest in any Infoway Content, or any component thereof, is granted, assigned, conveyed, transferred or sold to User by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. Without limitation, User may not, directly or indirectly, alter, destroy or remove any copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark or other proprietary or legal markings or notices placed upon or contained within any Infoway Content.

As between the parties, User shall at all times be considered the owner of the Provider Content and the User Content which User makes available through access to the Infoway Platform and/or use of the Services. For the sake of clarity, the ownership of the Provider Content shall not lie with the individual User, but rather with the organization or entity for which the User is acting when submitting Provider Content for inclusion in the Infoway Platform or in the Services.

Except for the personal and temporary utilization license granted in this Agreement, User has no right, title or interest in and to the Provider Content and the User Content which is made accessible by other Users through the Infoway Platform and the Services. Without limitation, User may not, directly or indirectly, alter, destroy or remove any copyright, trade secret, patent, trademark or other proprietary or legal markings or notices placed upon or contained within any Provider Content or User Content which is made accessible by other Users as part of the Services.
