ScreenHubb :: DrugPak Web
This Software Subscription Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and DrugPak, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company and its successors and assigns ("DrugPak").
If you do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, then you must promptly stop using DPWeb (defined below).
1.1.	"Collected Data" means any and all information, including your Personally Identifiable Information, used, collected, maintained and/or stored in or by DPWeb, including, without limitation, (i) information you enter into DPWeb, (ii) the number of drug tests that have been entered into DPWeb over a specified period of time; (iii) the types of drug tests entered in DPWeb and geographic areas where the tests were performed; and (iv) information concerning collection sites used by you including the name of the collection site, address, phone number, and contact person for the collection site.
1.2.	"DPWeb" means any and all programs and modules that make up DPWeb, including any and all upgrades, modifications, updates, additions, or patches, to any such program or module, and any accompanying written materials, including instructions for use.
1.3.	"Personally Identifiable Information" means information that is personally identifiable in nature such as name, address, phone number, email address, or social security number or employer identification number.
1.4.	"Services" means the services provided by DrugPak through DPWeb to you, including but not limited to, access to Collected Data.
1.5.	"Term" means the amount of time that you have agreed to use DPWeb during the registration process or any subsequent renewal term.
1.6.	"Use" means the ability to access, execute, and display DPWeb through a web browser.
2.	Use. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, DrugPak grants to the original purchaser of DPWeb, for the Term, a nonexclusive, non-transferrable, revocable, limited, non-sublicenseable, personal, right to (i) Use DPWeb, and (ii) subject to the number of simultaneous user licenses purchased from DrugPak, allow users to access DPWeb.
3.	Subscription. You are allowed to Use DPWeb on a subscription basis. During the registration process you selected the modules you are subscribing to use in DPWeb, the number of users that will use DPWeb, the length of your subscription, the number of texts or faxes allowed, and other options offered during the registration process (collectively, "Options"). You agree to pay the subscription fees, setup fees, and other costs ("Fees") for Options in DPWeb that you agreed to for the Term you agreed to in the registration process. Your subscription automatically renews for the same length of time as your original Term unless you cancel the subscription as provided in this Agreement. When your subscription renews you owe the Fees for the new Term. During the Term you may add additional Options which will increase the subscription fees for the entire Term. Options may only be removed at the end of the Term.
4.	Payment. If you have been sold the subscription to DPWeb through a reseller then (i) you will provide payment to the reseller instead of DrugPak as provided in this Section, and (ii) you are still liable to DrugPak for the payment and DrugPak may enforce its rights under this Agreement if DrugPak does not receive payment. You will provide to DrugPak a valid credit card number, ACH information, or eCheck information, or other payment information as allowed by DrugPak (collectively, "Payment Device"). Along with the Payment Device you will provide all information necessary to use the Payment Device such as the expiration date for the credit card and other information requested by DrugPak, and you hereby authorize DrugPak to charge to the Payment Device all Fees applicable to your purchase of the subscription to DPWeb. All Fees for a Term are owed at the beginning of a Term. DrugPak may allow you to pay the Fees owed for a Term throughout the Term on a monthly, semi-annual, or other payment cycle you select that is allowed by DrugPak ("Payment Cycle"). The portion of the Fees owed for a Payment Cycle will be charged at the beginning of the Payment Cycle. Upon cancellation, expiration, or any change to the Payment Device, you will immediately provide a new Payment Device and other information requested by DrugPak. If you have provided a Payment Device for another agreement between you and DrugPak, you authorize DrugPak to charge such other Payment Device for any Fees owed under this Agreement in the event the Payment Device you provided for this Agreement does not work. If you do not pay the portion of the Fees due for a Payment Cycle when due, then all of the Fees owed for a Term become immediately due and payable, at DrugPak’s option, without demand or notice. Payments made under another agreement between you and DrugPak do not apply to Fees owed under this Agreement and vice versa. For convenience, DrugPak may provide you with an invoice, at DrugPak’s discretion. You are required to pay all Fees regardless of whether you receive an invoice. If you have not paid all sums due DrugPak in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, a monthly finance charge equal to the lesser of (a) 1.5% per month, or (b) the highest amount permitted by law, shall accrue and be payable each month until paid in full. Furthermore, upon your failure to make payment in accordance with the terms hereof, a late fee of ten percent (10%) of the amount past due shall be due and payable by you with respect to each such late payment. The waiver of a finance charge, late fee or any portion thereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any future finance charges or late fees. You shall be liable to DrugPak for any and all costs and expenses incurred by DrugPak, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, in collection of any past due amounts hereunder.
5.	Rollover. Unused Options such as texts or faxes will accumulate during a Term, and will rollover to a renewal Term. When the Agreement expires or is terminated all Options are deleted and you are not entitled to any refund for amounts paid for unused Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your subscription to DPWeb lapses for 30 days or less then upon renewal of your subscription the Options available when the subscription lapsed will continue to be available.
6.	Suspension. If you do not pay the Fees owed under this Agreement or any amounts owed under another agreement between you and DrugPak when due or if you are paying a reseller and DrugPak does not receive payment for all fees owed by the reseller for any of the reseller’s customers then your use of DPWeb may be suspended by DrugPak until the Fees or other amounts are paid in full. If your use of DPWeb is suspended, you still owe all Fees you committed to during the registration process.
7.	Ownership. This Agreement is not a sale of DPWeb and DrugPak retains title and ownership of DPWeb and all subsequent copies, including the intellectual property rights therein, regardless of the form or media in or on which DPWeb or subsequent copies exist.
8.	Feedback. DrugPak has not agreed to and does not agree to treat as confidential any Feedback (as defined below) you provide to DrugPak, and nothing in this Agreement or in the parties’ dealings arising out of or related to this Agreement will restrict DrugPak’s right to use, profit from, disclose, publish, keep secret, or otherwise exploit Feedback, without compensating or crediting you. ("Feedback" means any suggestion or idea for improving or otherwise modifying DPWeb.)

10.	Use Restrictions. You may not allow third parties to Use DPWeb unless such Use is expressly authorized by DrugPak. You may not wrap the DPWeb interface in another interface.

You may not sell or license access to DPWeb by itself or as a part of a service or product.
11.	Upgrades. If you are upgrading from the DrugPak Software Suite you understand that once your data from the DrugPak Software Suite is imported into DPWeb during the upgrade process the data cannot be used in the DrugPak Software Suite.

DrugPak may provide a migration tool that allows the data in the DrugPak Software Suite to be transferred to DPWeb.

13.	Third Party Software. DPWeb interacts with various third-party software applications such as Microsoft office, email programs, pdf readers, and other applications ("Third-Party Software"). DrugPak does not provide, update, or maintain any Third-Party Software. You acknowledge that you are responsible for obtaining licenses for any Third-Party Software you need to use with DPWeb. DrugPak does not provide any support for Third-Party Software and you acknowledge that you must obtain support from your IT vendor or the maker of the Third Party Software.
14.	User Name and Password. During the registration process for DPWeb you created a user name and password that allows you to have access to DPWeb through the website. You have also created user accounts to allow the number of users allowed under your subscription to access DPWeb. The additional users must be within your company. You will not provide your user name or password to access DPWeb to any other person or entity, or allow any other person or entity to access DPWeb under your user name and password. You agree that you are solely responsible for any actions that occur under your user name and password or the user accounts you have created. In the event that any of the user names and password you created become known by a third party you agree to take all available precautions to prevent the userid and password from being used by an unauthorized individual, including, but not limited to, disabling the userid, and you agree to notify DrugPak immediately.
15.	Updates. DrugPak may create, from time-to-time, upgrades, modifications, updates, additions, and/or patches to DPWeb, which may be made available to you while you have a current and valid subscription to Use DPWeb.
16.	Privacy.
16.1.	Authorization to Collect and Use Data. You authorize DrugPak to collect the Collected Data for so long as you continue to Use DPWeb and to forever store and use such Collected Data for purposes of providing the Services, market research and marketing, software development and support, licensing and billing, generating reports, and establishing or improving resources, benefits, product features and/or services to DPWeb users.

16.2.	Disclosure of Data to Third Parties. You further authorize DrugPak to disclose any and all Collected Data, except for Personally Identifiable Information, to third-party recipients where such third-party recipients enter into data use agreements providing appropriate safeguards, as determined by DrugPak in its reasonable discretion, on the use and further disclosure of the Collected Data.
16.3.	Protected Health Information. Except as allowed by law, DrugPak will not disclose to any third party "Protected Health Information" as defined in 45 CFR § 160.103, or any other data or information the disclosure of which by DrugPak is prohibited by law.

DPWeb provides two methods for you to receive reports: (1) all reports generated by you through DPWeb are made available for download through Screenhubb ("Screenhubb Reports"), and (2) you may elect to email ("Email") the report to an email that you choose. DrugPak recommends that you always download the Screenhubb Reports because the Screenhubb Reports are more secure than Email. You acknowledge that Email is unencrypted which is unsecure and a third party may intercept the Email and read the contents. Your use of Email is at your own risk and DrugPak provides no guarantee that Email will be transmitted securely. The report attached to the Email will be protected by a password. The password is used to encrypt the report and you agree not to take any steps to disable any such encryption.
