Terms & Conditions
Last Updated and Effective as of May 23, 2025
These Terms & Conditions (these “Terms”), effective as of the date set forth above, govern the relationship between Quinsite, Inc. (“Quinsite”), a Delaware corporation with its principal office located at 1818 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Suite 185, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514, and the customer (“Customer”) identified on the Order Form, and Customer’s access to and use of Quinsite’s proprietary healthcare analytics software-as-a-service platform. Each of Quinsite and Customer may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.” Initially capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in the body of these Terms shall have the corresponding meanings set forth in Section 13.1.
- Services
1.1 Order Forms. The Order Form shall be incorporated herein by reference upon execution by an authorized representative of each Party. In the event of a conflict between a provision of these Terms and a provision set forth in the Order Form, these Terms shall control unless the Order Form expressly states the intent to supersede such conflicting provision of these Terms. Customer understands Quinsite’s ability to meet any deadlines set forth in the Order Form is conditioned upon Customer’s timely response to Quinsite’s requests for information and other inputs. Customer hereby acknowledges and agrees Quinsite is not in breach of this Agreement or the Order Form for delays caused primarily by Customer’s failure to provide such timely responses. Further, any such delays by Quinsite shall not affect Customer’s payment obligations hereunder.
1.2 SaaS Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Order Form, Quinsite hereby grants to Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal, revocable right, for the duration of the Term, to access and use the SaaS Services solely for Customer’s internal business purposes. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Customer’s right to access and use the SaaS Services is neither contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features or the delivery of any other services, nor is it dependent on any oral or written public comments made by or on behalf of Quinsite regarding future functionality or features.
1.3 Professional Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Quinsite will provide Customer with the Professional Services, if any, in accordance with the Order Form. Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Professional Services are provided separate and distinct from the SaaS Services and are not required for Customer’s use or enjoyment of the SaaS Services.
1.4 Changes to Services. If, at any time during the Term, either Party desires to modify the Services set forth in the Order Form, including any corresponding modifications to Fees or Expenses (as defined below), as the case may be, the Order Form may be altered or amended only by the mutual written agreement of both Parties.
1.5 Cooperation. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Quinsite’s ability to successfully provide the SaaS Services in a timely manner requires the good-faith cooperation of Customer. Accordingly, Customer will reasonably cooperate with Quinsite’s efforts to provide the SaaS Services including without limitation, by: (a) providing Quinsite with all information concerning the Customer’s IT infrastructure as may be reasonably required by Quinsite for the onboarding of the SaaS Services; and (b) making Customer’s personnel available to meet with Quinsite upon reasonable request (and Customer acknowledges and agrees that such requests may be frequent during onboarding of the SaaS Services). Quinsite shall not be in breach of this Agreement or otherwise responsible or liable for any delays or failures in providing the SaaS Services that result from Customer’s failure to comply with this Section 1.5.” - Fees; Payment Terms
2.1 Fees; Expenses; Taxes. As consideration for the Services, Customer will pay the fees set forth in the Order Form for the Services provided thereunder (“Fees”). Customer agrees to reimburse Quinsite for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Quinsite in connection with its performance of Professional Services (“Expenses”) provided that such Expenses are set forth in the Order Form or have otherwise been pre-approved by Customer in writing. Customer will be responsible for any federal, state, local or foreign sales, use, excise, value-added or other similar tax, charge, fee, levy, or impost (collectively, “Taxes”) lawfully imposed by a governmental authority arising from the Services or this Agreement that have been properly invoiced by Quinsite, other than taxes on Quinsite’s net income. All Fees and Expenses are nonrefundable, and will be paid by Customer in U.S. dollars.
2.2 Invoicing; Payment. Quinsite shall invoice Customer for Fees, Expenses, and related Taxes as set forth in the Order Form (each such invoice, an “Invoice”). All Invoices shall be accompanied by such supporting documentation as Customer may reasonably request. Customer will pay all amounts not disputed by Customer in good faith, by the due date specified the applicable Invoice. In the event that any undisputed amounts are unpaid for more than thirty (30) days after the date due, then: (a) such amounts shall accrue simple interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is less (such accrued interest, “Late Fees”) from the due date until the date payment is received by Quinsite; and (ii) Quinsite may, in Quinsite’s sole discretion, discontinue, terminate, or suspend the Services, or any portion thereof, without incurring any liability to Customer. Despite any such discontinuation or suspension, Customer acknowledges and agrees it will be required to pay all Fees (including Late Fees) due and payable under the Order Form for the duration of the Term. Unless this Agreement is terminated for Customer’s non-payment pursuant to Section 11.2, Services may be re-instated upon Customer’s payment of all outstanding Fees (including Late Fees), provided that Quinsite may require reasonable credit guarantees before such re-instatement of Services. In the event that any undisputed amounts are unpaid for more than sixty (60) days after the date due, Customer is responsible for, and agrees to pay (in addition to the applicable Late Fees), Quinsite’s reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including, but not limited to, court and attorneys’ fees and expenses. - User Access Controls; Restrictions on Use
3.1 Authorized Users. Customer agrees to limit access to the SaaS Services solely to Authorized Users. Customer agrees to inform each Authorized User of the restrictions and requirements of this Agreement, and Customer will remain solely responsible for each Authorized User’s compliance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
3.2 Access Credentials. In connection with Customer’s and its Authorized Users’ access to and use of the SaaS Services, Customer and its Authorized Users will be issued unique user-IDs and passwords or other security or authentication device (“Access Credentials”). Customer agrees to maintain all Access Credentials in strict confidence, and not to provide any Access Credentials to any third party without first obtaining Quinsite’s prior written consent. In the event any Access Credentials are lost or compromised, Customer will be responsible solely for all actions, damages, liabilities, losses, and fees incurred as a result of such loss or compromise, except to the extent arising from Quinsite’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Customer will be responsible for ensuring that its Authorized Users comply with the provisions of this Section 3.2.
3.3 Termination of Authorized Users. If the employment or engagement of any Authorized User that was in effect as of the date such person was designated as an ‘Authorized User’ is terminated or if such Authorized User no longer is authorized by Customer to access and use the SaaS Services (in any event, the “Termination” of such Authorized User), Customer will ensure such person ceases to access the SaaS Services under Customer’s account immediately upon Termination. In the event of Termination, Customer promptly will notify Quinsite of such Termination and request Quinsite revoke such Authorized User’s rights to access and use the SaaS Services. Customer agrees and acknowledges that any access to or use of the SaaS Services by any Authorized User will be considered authorized by Customer until Customer notifies Quinsite and requests Termination of such Authorized User’s access to the SaaS Services pursuant to this Section 3.3.
3.4 Restrictions on Use. Customer will not take any actions inconsistent with Quinsite’s ownership of each of Quinsite’s rights in and to any and all software embedded in the Services developed, owned, or controlled by Quinsite (as applicable) (the “Software”). Except to the extent permitted by Quinsite in writing, Customer agrees it will not, itself, or through any third party, and Customer shall ensure its Authorized Users do not, directly or indirectly: (a) copy, remove, reproduce, perform, disclose, or publicly display the SaaS Services; (b) assign, distribute, license, sublicense, transfer, sell, rent, lease, time share, grant a security interest in, operate as a service bureau, or otherwise transfer any rights in or to the Software, or make the Software available to third parties except as authorized by this Agreement; (c) modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software for any purpose, including, without limitation, the creation of derivative works or similar products; (d) upload, link to, or post any portion of the Software on a bulletin board, intranet, extranet or website; (e) use or distribute the Software in violation of any applicable laws, regulations or export restrictions; (f) possess or use the Software in any format other than machine-readable format; (g) use the rights granted under this Agreement to design, develop or distribute a commercial product or service that competes with the SaaS Services; (h) remove, alter or cover any copyright notices, trademark notices or other proprietary rights notices placed or embedded on or in the Software, or cause or permit any third party to do any of the foregoing; (i) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any technological measures designed to enforce certain limitations or instructions with respect to Customer’s use of the SaaS Services; (j) disclose any Access Credentials to any natural person or entity other than the Authorized Users to whom Access Credentials are properly issued hereunder; or (k) use the SaaS Services to send or store infringing, obscene, threatening, harassing, libelous, or otherwise unlawful or tortious material, including material harmful to children or violative of third-party privacy rights. - Intellectual Property; Customer Data
4.1 Quinsite Intellectual Property. As between Customer and Quinsite, Customer acknowledges and agrees all right, title, and interest in and to the SaaS Services and the Software, the intellectual property associated with the SaaS Services, the related Software and technology, and all user instructions, manuals, on-line help files, and other Documentation (as defined below) concerning the Services are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Quinsite. No intellectual property rights or licenses are granted or conveyed to Customer in the Services or the Documentation, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel, reliance or otherwise, all of which are specifically excluded and disclaimed. Quinsite reserves all rights in the Services not explicitly granted herein.
4.2 Customer Data. Customer shall retain ownership in the data uploaded to the SaaS Services by Customer (“Customer Data”). Customer hereby grants to Quinsite a non-exclusive, royalty-free, assignable, sublicensable: (a) limited license under the Customer Data and all intellectual property rights therein to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and create derivative works of the Customer Data in connection with Quinsite’s provision of Services to Customer; and (b) irrevocable, perpetual license under the Customer Data and all intellectual property rights therein, to the extent in blinded and anonymized form that is aggregated with information and data from other users or licensees of the SaaS Services and that does not identify Customer or any Authorized User as the source of such aggregated information and data, to (i) develop, improve, and provide the Services and such other products and services owned or controlled by Quinsite (collectively, to the extent so developed or improved, “Improvements”), and (ii) to generate, use, disclose, sell, and otherwise exploit such information and data for the Services, including, without limitation, metric, statistical, benchmarking, and analytical data (collectively, “Aggregate Customer Data”). Customer acknowledges and agrees Improvements and Aggregate Customer Data generated or derived from the use of Customer Data will be and will remain the sole and exclusive property of Quinsite and will not otherwise be considered “Customer Data” under this Agreement.
4.3 Customer Personal Data. Customer agrees not to submit to Quinsite, and Quinsite does not collect or accept from Customer any credit card information. Customer Personal Data (as defined below) shall be Customer’s Confidential Information (as defined below).
4.4 Feedback. Customer and Authorized Users may provide to Quinsite error reports, suggestions, feedback, oral and written reports, ideas, and concepts regarding the Services (collectively, “Feedback”).

Quinsite is and shall remain the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the Documentation and all of the intellectual property rights associated therewith. - Security
5.1 Security. To the extent under its control, Quinsite shall establish and implement login and authentication procedures and operational, physical, network, and data security measures, in accordance with generally accepted industry practices designed to protect against unauthorized access to, or alteration, loss, or destruction of Customer Data in Quinsite’s possession or under Quinsite’s control. From time to time, Quinsite may update and implement changes to such security procedures and measures so as to maintain commercially reasonable industry practices.
5.2 Service Providers. Quinsite shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its third-party hosting service providers that have access to any of Customer’s Confidential Information (the “Hosting Service Providers”) to host such information at a facility that is certified as in compliance with SSAE 16 Service Organization Control (“SOC”) 2 Type 2 standards, or in compliance with another generally accepted industry standard. Quinsite shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Hosting Service Providers to provide the reports from annual SSAE 16, SOC 2, Type 2 audits to Customer as may be reasonably requested by Customer no more than one (1) time per calendar year, subject to Customer’s execution of such third party’s standard non-disclosure agreement, if any.
5.3 Security Incidents. Subject to Quinsite’s contractual obligations and compliance with applicable law, Quinsite shall notify Customer without undue delay upon Quinsite’s knowledge of any unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modifications, or destruction of Customer Personal Data (a “Security Incident”). Within a reasonable time, in accordance with generally accepted industry standards, following discovery of Security Incident, Quinsite shall: (a) take reasonable steps to mitigate the harm of, and to prevent any further, Security Incident, including, upon Customer’s request, reasonable cooperation with Customer and its third-party service providers in conducting an investigation of such Security Incident; and (b) provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and reasonable assistance in relation to such Security Incident to the extent required under applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, any Security Incident involving Protected Health Information shall be governed by the terms of the BA Addendum. - Confidential Information

For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) that relates to such Disclosing Party and that reasonably should be known by the Receiving Party to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party under the circumstances of disclosure or in light of the nature of the information disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include information that: (a) was publicly available at the time of disclosure, or that subsequently becomes publicly available, except by wrongful disclosure hereunder by the Receiving Party; (b) was in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to receipt of the same hereunder, as evidenced by the Receiving Party’s prior written records; (c) was received from a third party who was not known by the Receiving Party to be under any obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information or to have violated any applicable law; or (d) was independently developed by the Receiving Party as evidenced by Receiving Party’s written records.

As Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the foregoing warranty, Quinsite will use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy any such material error of which Customer notifies Quinsite in writing. If Quinsite cannot remedy such error within thirty (30) days of such notice from Customer, then as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for such failure, Customer may terminate the Order Form, and Quinsite will refund to Customer any pre-paid fees for SaaS Services not provided as of the effective date of termination.

Customer agrees not to submit to Quinsite, and Quinsite does not collect or accept from Customer any credit card information.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.4(a), Quinsite will not have any responsibility or liability with respect to the following: (i) impact on the Services by one or more regulatory inquiries or actions, which could prevent or limit the ability of Quinsite to continue to develop or provide the Services, or for Customer’s or its Authorized Users’ use of the Services, except where such actions were caused by Quinsite’s failure to comply with statutory requirements; and (ii) updates to the Services to address, mitigate, or remediate any security or other vulnerabilities in the Services.
(c) Customer acknowledges and understands that cryptography is a progressing field. Advances in code cracking or technical advances such as the development of quantum computers may present risks to cryptographic systems and the SaaS Services, which could result in the theft or loss of Customer’s cryptographic property. To the extent possible, Quinsite intends to update the code underlying the SaaS Services to account for any advances in cryptography and to incorporate additional security measures, but does not guarantee or otherwise represent full security of the system against undisclosed vulnerabilities. By using the SaaS Services, Customer acknowledges these inherent risks.
(d) Customer further acknowledges that applications are computer code subject to flaws and acknowledge that Customer solely is responsible for evaluating the trustworthiness of any third-party websites, products, smart-contracts, or content Customer accesses or uses through the SaaS Services. The terms and conditions set forth herein in no way evidence or represent an ongoing duty to alert Customer to all of the potential risks of utilizing the SaaS Services.
