company or any person or entity who provides services to any of the foregoing, in order to
comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, you may be required to, as necessary, verify

process, including but not limited to automating the verification process, at any time in our
sole discretion.

5. Fees.
5.1 Fees
The Services may include both paid-for Services, for which you will be charged fees (“Fees”) and
free Services for which no fees are charged. The applicable Fees are available on our website or
on the subscription portal. We reserve the right to, at any time and from time to time and upon
reasonable advance notice to you, in our sole discretion, change the Fees we charge for the
Services, including the right to charge Fees for Services that were previously free of charge.
We may also at any time and from time to time, in our sole discretion, change or remove any of
the pricing models in place. The new prices shall apply as of the calendar month following the

by notifying us before the new prices enter in force.
5.2 Invoicing and Payment
Fees are invoiced in advance on monthly basis and payable upon receipt of the invoice by direct
debit, credit card or other payment means notified to you at our sole discretion. The first
invoice will cover the period from the Effective Date to the end of the then-current month. We
may use third party payment service providers to collect any Fees you incur in the course of
your use of the Services. Our third party payment service providers may receive and implement
updated credit card information from your credit card issuer in order to prevent your payment or
subscription from being interrupted by an outdated or invalid card. This disbursement of the
updated credit card information is provided to third party payment service providers at the sole
election of your credit card issuer. Your credit card issuer may give you the right to opt-out
of the update service. Should you desire to do so, please contact your credit card issuer. You
agree not to hold us responsible for banking charges incurred due to payments on your account.
5.3 Late payments
You acknowledge that your failure to pay any Fees when due may result in suspension or
termination of your use of the Services. If you fail to pay any of the fees or charges due
hereunder, the Company reserves the right to, among other things, engage an attorney or a
collections agency to collect the delinquent fees and charges. You agree to pay all fees and
costs incurred by the Company in connection with the collection of such delinquent amounts,
including without limitation, any and all court related costs, attorneys’ and/or collections
agencies’ fees plus interest in an amount equal to the lesser of 1.0% per month or the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law.
5.4 Taxes
You are responsible for all sales tax, use tax, value added taxes, withholding taxes and any
other similar taxes and charge of any kind imposed by a governmental entity on the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. When we have the legal obligation to pay or collect taxes for
which you are responsible pursuant to this Section 5.4, the appropriate amount will be invoiced
to and paid by you unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by
the appropriate taxing authority.
6. Customer Support.
Although we aim to offer you the best service possible, we make no promise that the Services
will meet your requirements and we cannot guarantee that the Services will be fault free. We
will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide technical support services to you in the
event a fault or other issue with the Services occurs. If a fault or other issue occurs in our
Services, please report it to us at support@tapthealth.com and we will review your complaint
and, where we determine it appropriate to do so, correct the fault.
7. Confidential Information.
“Confidential Information” means all information provided or made available by or on behalf of
the disclosing party (whether disclosed orally or disclosed or accessed in written, electronic,
or other form of media, and whether or not marked, designated, or otherwise identified as
“confidential”). Neither party shall disclose to any third party any Confidential Information
without the other party’s prior written consent, except as otherwise expressly permitted under
this Agreement. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to,
i. any information that is in the public domain or already in the receiving party’s possession,

iii. becomes known to the receiving party thereafter from a third party having an apparent bona
fide right to disclose the information, or
iv. Confidential Information that the receiving party is obligated to produce pursuant to a
court order or a valid administrative subpoena, providing receiving party provides disclosing
party of timely notice of such court order or subpoena (unless receiving party is legally
precluded from providing such notice). This Section 7 will survive termination or expiration of
your use of the Services.
8. Data Protection
The parties agree to comply with all applicable privacy, data protection, anti spam and other
laws, rules, regulations and guidelines relating to protection, collection, use and distribution
of Personal Information (as defined below). If required by applicable data protection
legislation or other law or regulation, you will inform third parties that you are providing
their Personal Information to us for processing and will ensure that any required third parties
have given their consent to such disclosure and processing. “Personal Information” means any
information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can be reasonably associated with or
traced to, directly or indirectly, a particular individual or household, including an
individual’s name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card information, social

such information is stored (e.g., on paper or electronically).

regulations applicable to you and/or your business, including the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”). You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary

Services. If either of you or your organization are subject to HIPAA as a Covered Entity or
Business Associate (as defined in HIPAA) and intend to use the Services in a manner that will
cause us to create, receive, maintain, or transmit Protected Health Information on your behalf,
then, at the outset of creating an account to use the Services for yourself or your
organization, you will be required to agree to the Business Associate Agreement made available
to you at such time, and absent agreeing to such Business Associate Agreement you will not be
able to use the Services. You acknowledge and agree that we may freely use any patient

Entity. Covered Entity may report the problem to the Secretary of HHS if termination is not
feasible.

BAA, then Business Associate will provide Covered Entity with written notice of the existence of
the breach and shall provide Covered Entity with 30 days to cure the breach. Covered Entity’s

the Agreement and this BAA by Business Associate. Business Associate may report the breach to

furnish Covered Entity with notification, in writing, of the conditions that make return or
destruction infeasible. Upon mutual agreement of the Parties that return or destruction of the
PHI is infeasible, Business Associate will extend the protections of this BAA to such
information for as long as Business Associate retains such information and will limit further
uses and disclosures to those purposes that make the return or destruction of the information
not feasible. The Parties understand that this Section 15.D. will survive any termination of
