Intellectual Property

Medera’s Intellectual Property

Medera and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest (including all intellectual property rights) in and to the Services, platform, algorithms, models, documentation, and all improvements, derivatives, and modifications thereof. Nothing in these Terms transfers any Medera intellectual property to Customer.

Refunds

Fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in the SLA (service credits), in the event of material breach by Medera, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

  • Claims arising from clinical decisions made by Customer’s healthcare providers

Indemnification Procedure

The indemnifying party shall not settle any claim in a manner that imposes obligations on the indemnified party without prior written consent.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.

MEDERA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR COMPLETELY SECURE.

Termination

Term & Renewal

The initial term is specified in the Order Form. Unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term, the subscription will automatically renew for successive periods equal to the initial term (or one year, whichever is shorter).

Termination for Convenience

Either party may terminate these Terms with sixty (60) days prior written notice. If Customer terminates for convenience during an active subscription term, pre-paid fees for the remaining term are non-refundable.

Termination for Cause

Either party may terminate immediately upon written notice if:

  • The other party commits a material breach and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice (or ten (10) days for payment defaults)
  • The other party becomes subject to insolvency, receivership, liquidation, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors
  • Continued performance would result in a violation of applicable law or regulation

Effect of Termination

  • All rights and licenses granted to Customer terminate immediately
  • Customer Data (including PHI) will be returned in a standard, machine-readable format or securely destroyed, at Customer’s election, within thirty (30) calendar days
  • A certificate of destruction will be provided upon request
  • Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Confidentiality, Indemnification, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law) shall survive
  • Outstanding payment obligations survive termination

Audit Rights

Enterprise customers may exercise audit rights to verify Medera’s compliance with its security, privacy, and regulatory obligations:

  • Customer may audit Medera’s compliance with the BAA, these Terms, and applicable law no more than once per twelve-month period (unless a breach has occurred), upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice
  • Audits shall be conducted during normal business hours, at Customer’s expense, and in a manner that minimizes disruption to Medera’s operations
  • Medera will make available its most recent SOC 2 Type II report, HITRUST certification, penetration test executive summary, and other relevant compliance documentation as a reasonable alternative to on-site audits
  • Audit findings are Confidential Information of Medera and shall be treated accordingly
  • If an audit reveals a material non-compliance, Medera shall prepare a remediation plan within thirty (30) days and implement corrective actions within a mutually agreed timeline

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Escalation

The parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation. If a dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days of written notice, either party may escalate to the executive officers of each party for an additional thirty (30) day negotiation period.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute not resolved through negotiation shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm, including with respect to breaches of confidentiality, intellectual property, or unauthorized disclosure of PHI.

Class Action Waiver

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Force Majeure

Neither party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government actions, power failures, internet disruptions, or third-party telecommunications failures (“Force Majeure Events”).

The affected party must provide prompt written notice describing the Force Majeure Event and use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the impact and resume performance. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than ninety (90) consecutive days, either party may terminate the affected Order Form without liability. Force Majeure does not excuse Customer’s obligation to pay fees for Services already delivered, and does not relieve either party of its obligations to protect PHI.

Insurance

Medera maintains the following insurance coverage during the term of these Terms:

  • Commercial General Liability: not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and $4,000,000 in the aggregate
  • Professional Liability / Errors & Omissions: not less than $5,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate
  • Cyber Liability / Technology Errors & Omissions: not less than $5,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate, covering data breach response, regulatory proceedings, and network security liability

Amendment

These Terms may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument signed by authorized representatives of both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Medera may update these Terms for non-material changes (including clarifications, legal compliance updates, and new feature terms) with thirty (30) days written notice.

Assignment

Neither party may assign these Terms without the prior written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets. Any attempted assignment in violation of this provision is void.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties’ original intent.

Waiver

The failure of either party to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.

Notices

All legal notices must be in writing and delivered by certified mail, nationally recognized overnight courier, or email (with confirmation of receipt) to the addresses specified in the Order Form. Notices are effective upon receipt.

Independent Contractors

The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between the parties.

Third-Party Beneficiaries

These Terms do not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

Export Compliance

Customer shall comply with all applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations. Customer represents that it is not located in, or a national or resident of, any U.S.-embargoed country and is not on any U.S. government restricted-parties list.
