Your dentist or other health care provider ("Provider") provides a patient intake product ("Patient Platform") which, among other things, is designed to help patient end users ("Patient") and their designated family member, representative, or caregiver(s) ("Caregiver") provide Patient health and other personalized information about the Patient to Provider through electronic or other means ("Patient Content") in connection with the services being provided to Patient by Provider and by any other applicable healthcare providers providing services to the Patient (and each of their personnel) ("Services"). As a Patient user, you may permit or designate one or more of your Caregivers to use the Patient Platform on your behalf. Patient and Caregiver, where applicable, may also together or individually be referred to herein as "you" or "your", and Provider may be referred to as "we" or "our".

Patient (and Caregiver, if applicable) acknowledges that this Agreement is between Provider and you and not with any developers, resellers, licensors or distributors of the Patient Platform or any practice management system or other platform or system on or through which the Patient Platform is accessed or used (collectively, "Licensors"). If you are using the Patient Platform, this license is granted to you only as permitted by, and subject to, all applicable laws in accordance with Provider’s and Licensor’s policies and any terms and conditions between them.

IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.

NO MEDICAL ADVICE

The Patient Platform is not a substitute for a medical professional. Licensors are not medical professionals. The Patient Platform is solely to give Provider and any other applicable healthcare providers providing Services with Patient Content. You expressly acknowledge that Licensors do not and cannot provide any kind of advice, opinion, or recommendation about possible healthcare symptoms, risk factors or decisions. You further understand that communications between you and Licensors are not protected by the physician-patient privilege.

HIPAA AND OUR PRIVACY POLICIES

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") addresses the manner in which a Patient's individually identifiable health information may be used or disclosed by Covered Entities (as defined under HIPAA) and other individuals and entities who contract with Covered Entities, such as Licensor. You understand that Licensors is unable to ascertain whether a healthcare provider (including Provider) is subject to HIPAA and the compliance of the healthcare providers' (including Provider's) systems with HIPAA to which Licensors may be requested to transmit Patient Content or other medical information. You expressly acknowledge and consent to the uses and disclosures of your Patient Content and other information (which may include individually identifiable health information) in accordance with HIPAA and the Privacy Policy available at OrangeDentalNetwork.com. If you have any questions or concerns about your healthcare providers' privacy and/or data security practices or their compliance with HIPAA, you should contact these providers directly to have your questions and/or concerns addressed. If you have additional questions about HIPAA, the Department of Health and Human Services provides information available at https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/index.html.

You expressly permit us to use Patient Content as part of the Patient Platform and the provision of the Services. While we do not own Patient Content, if you share or post any Patient Content to or through the Patient Platform or any Other Service (as defined below) or allow a Caregiver to do so on your behalf, you hereby grant us a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, fully sub-licensable, transferable, irrevocable, worldwide license under any applicable intellectual property rights protecting the Patient Content to use, display, reproduce and distribute the same (in whole or in part) in connection with the Patient Platform and provision of the Services, so long as such use, display, reproduction, and distribution is in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
