(i) a legend or subject line that says: "DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice";

(ii) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

(v) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

(vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and

(vii) your electronic or physical signature.

The Company will only respond to DMCA Notices that it receives by mail, e-mail, or facsimile at the addresses set forth in the “Notice” section of this Agreement.

It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. The Company may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and the Company may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification. Without limiting the Company's other rights, the Company may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate a repeat infringer's access to the Services, Website, and/or any other website owned or operated by the Company.

Counter-Notification.   If access on the Website to a work that you submitted to the Company is disabled or the work is removed as a result of a DMCA Notice, and if you believe that the disabled access or removal is the result of mistake or misidentification, then you may send us a DMCA Counter-Notification to the addresses above. Your DMCA Counter-Notification should contain the following information:

(i) a legend or subject line that says: "DMCA Counter-Notification";

(ii) a description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled (please include the URL of the Website from which the material was removed or access to it disabled);

(iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

(iv) your full name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and the username of your account;

(v) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if the address is located outside the U.S.A., to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided DMCA notification to us or an agent of such person; and

(vi) your electronic or physical signature.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.

If we receive a DMCA Counter-Notification, then we may replace the material that we removed (or stop disabling access to it) in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the DMCA Counter-Notification. However, we will not do this if we first receive notice at the addresses above that the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice has filed a lawsuit asking a court for an order restraining the person who provided the material from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service. You should also be aware that we may forward the Counter-Notification to the party who sent us the DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

a. Term. The Term of this BAA shall become effective as of the Effective Date (which is the date you first access or use our Services, whichever is earlier) and shall terminate when all of the PHI provided by Covered Entity to Business Associate, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity, is destroyed or returned to Covered Entity, or, if it is infeasible to return or destroy PHI, protections are extended to such information, in accordance with the termination provisions of this Section. The provisions of this BAA shall survive termination of the BAA and continue in full force to the extent necessary for compliance with HIPAA and the HIPAA Rules. Upon termination or expiration of this BAA, Business Associate will, upon Covered Entity’s request, certify that all PHI has been returned or destroyed unless otherwise required by law or exception.

 

b. Material Breach. A material breach by either party of any provision of this BAA shall constitute a material breach of the BAA, if such breach is not cured by the breaching party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice describing the material breach.

c.   Reasonable Steps to Cure Breach. If either party learns of an activity or practice of the other party that constitutes a material breach or violation of the other party’s obligations under the provisions of this BAA, then the non-breaching party shall notify the breaching party of the breach and the breaching party shall take reasonable steps to cure such breach or violation, as applicable, within a period of time which shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days. If the breaching party’s efforts to cure such breach or violation are unsuccessful, the non-breaching party shall either terminate the BAA, if feasible, or if termination of the BAA is not feasible and the breaching party has violated the HIPAA Rules, the non-breaching party may report the breaching party’s breach or violation to the Secretary.

 

d. Judicial or Administrative Proceedings. Either party may terminate the BAA, effective immediately, if the other party is named as a defendant in a criminal proceeding for an alleged violation of HIPAA, or a finding or stipulation that the other party has violated any standard or requirement of HIPAA or other security or privacy laws is made in any administrative or civil proceeding in which the party has been joined.

e.   Effect of Termination.

1.        Except as provided in paragraph (e)(2) of this Section or if required by law or regulation to be maintained by Business Associate, upon termination of the BAA for any reason, Business Associate shall return, at Covered Entity’s expense, or destroy all PHI received from Covered Entity (or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity) that Business Associate still maintains in any form, and shall retain no copies of such PHI. This provision shall apply to PHI that is in the possession of subcontractors or agents of Business Associate. Upon request by Covered Entity, Business Associate will certify such PHI has been returned or destroyed.

2.       In the event that Business Associate determines that returning or destroying the PHI is infeasible, Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity notification of the conditions that make return or destruction infeasible. If return or destruction of PHI is infeasible, Business Associate shall extend the protections of this BAA to such PHI and limit further uses and disclosures of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or adequate destruction infeasible, for so long as Business Associate maintains such PHI.

Upon the request of either party, the parties shall promptly enter into negotiations concerning the terms of an amendment to the BAA embodying written assurances consistent with the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, the HITECH Act, or other applicable laws relating to security and privacy of PHI. Either party may terminate the BAA upon thirty (30) days’ written notice in the event the other party does not promptly enter into negotiations to amend the BAA when requested pursuant to this Section, or does not enter into an amendment to the BAA providing assurances regarding the safeguarding of PHI that satisfy the standards and requirements of HIPAA, the HIPAA Rules, the HITECH Act, or other applicable laws relating to security and privacy of PHI.
