1. Mingle Services and Set-up.
(a) Services. Mingle provides cloud-based platforms and services known as Check™ and MIPS Solutions™ for use in medical practices (the “Software Platforms”) and also offers other services, as further described at www.minglehealth.com and other websites where this Agreement is posted (including the websites used to access such Software Platforms and services, the “Services”).
(b) Account Setup. When you set up an account (“Mingle Account”) to use the Services, you will be required to choose a password and user ID, and will be required to provide other registration information (collectively, “Registration Information”). You agree and represent that all Registration Information provided by you is accurate and up-to-date. If any of your Registration Information changes, you must update it in your Mingle Account. If Mingle believes that the Registration Information you provide is not correct, current, or complete, Mingle reserves the right to refuse you access to the Services, and to terminate or suspend your Mingle Account at any time. However, Mingle has no obligation to verify the accuracy, currency, completeness, or usefulness of any Registration Information that you have provided.
(c) Mingle Account Credentials. You understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the username, password and any other authentication credentials required to access your Mingle Account and those of any users you authorize under your Mingle Account (“Permitted Users”), and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Mingle Account, including the purchase of any of the Services. You agree (a) to promptly notify Mingle if you suspect any unauthorized use of your Mingle Account (including usernames, passwords or any other authentication credentials) or any other breach of security, (b) to ensure that you exit from your Mingle Account at the end of each session, (c) not to share any username, password or any other authentication credentials with any other user or use the username, password or any other authentication credentials of any other user, and (d) to use particular caution when accessing your Mingle Account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. You acknowledge that Mingle is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from the theft or misappropriation of any username, password or other authentication credentials. Mingle recommends that you use strong passwords for your Mingle Account, never use the same password on multiple sites or services, and change your password frequently. You are directly responsible to Mingle for the conduct, acts and omissions of your Permitted Users and will ensure that your Permitted Users comply with this Agreement.
(d) Professional Services; Statements of Work for Professional Services; Change Orders. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Mingle may perform EHR integration or other professional services for you, all of which will be considered Services where applicable under this Agreement. The specific details of the professional services to be performed (including scope of work, fees, payment schedule and timeline) will be determined on a per-project basis, and the details for each project will be described in a Statement of Work for professional services. Each Statement of Work for professional services will constitute a separate work engagement. All changes to a Statement of Work for professional services requested by either party will only be effective upon signing of a mutually agreed change order. If work on a Statement of Work for professional services is materially delayed, postponed, or discontinued by you, Mingle may suspend performance of professional services under such Statement of Work.
(e) Loaner Devices. From time-to-time, we may provide you with a laptop computer, tablet computer or other device (including all cords and accessories, a “Loaner Device”) to be used by Permitted Users to access the Services. In such event, you will ensure that Loaner Devices are used solely for their intended use in connection with the Services and in accordance with this Agreement. You will use reasonable precautions to prevent loss or damage to the Loaner Devices and their components and will promptly report loss or damage to us. If damaged or lost Loaner Devices or their components require repair or replacement, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly repair or replace such Loaner Devices. If such loss or damage is due to your failing to use reasonable precautions as required, Mingle reserves the right to invoice you for Mingle’s repair or replacement costs, and you agree to pay any such invoices upon receipt. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, or Mingle’s earlier written request, you will also return to Mingle all Loaner Devices in the same condition as when delivered to you, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Mingle reserves the right to invoice you, at Mingle’s replacement value, for any Loaner Devices that are not returned in their entirety, and you agree to pay any such invoices. The Services will be deemed to include the Loaner Devices for purposes of Section 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
(a) Election and Fees.
(i) The fees for the Services are set forth on the Mingle fees page (“Fees Page”) or on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between you and Mingle, each of which is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Fees for the Services may be payable in advance, in arrears, per user physician or National Provider Identifier (“NPI”) number, per patient, or as otherwise described on the Fees Page or on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us. You agree to pay Mingle the fees indicated for the Services you purchase and for the indicated term (“Services Term”) and for any other fees set forth on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us. Stated fees do not include any related taxes (including sales and use taxes, duties or other governmental taxes or fees), all of which are your responsibility and will be charged to your Payment Method in addition to the fees. The Fees Page or your Order Form or Statement of Work will indicate whether the Services you purchase are subscription-based Services (“Subscription Services”) or non-subscription-based Services (“Non-Subscription Services”).
(ii) Subscription Services.
(1) Fees for Subscription Services will be charged to your Payment Method or invoiced to you on the day your Services plan selection goes into effect and will cover fees for your Services plan selection for the payment period indicated. At the end of the indicated Services Term for Subscription Services, your purchased Services will automatically renew for successive renewal Services Terms of equal length to the initial Services Term and the applicable fees will continue to be charged to your Payment Method or invoiced to you on a recurring basis until you change your Services plan selection or terminate this Agreement, and you hereby authorize Mingle to charge your Payment Method for such recurring charges as applicable. The amount of the charge for each renewal Services Term will be the then-current fee applicable to the Services plan and Services Term you selected as set forth on the Fees Page or otherwise communicated to you. You acknowledge that the amount of the charge may increase if the applicable fee increases.
(2) You may upgrade or downgrade your Subscription Services plan selection at any time. Plan downgrades will take effect only at the end of your current term and must be made at least 10 business days prior to the start of your next renewal Services Term in order to avoid billing of the next renewal Services Term’s fees at the prior rate. Services upgrades will take effect immediately and you will be charged a prorated fee for the remainder of your current Services Term based on the difference in price between your current plan and the upgraded plan.
(iii) Non-Subscription Services. Fees for Non-Subscription Services and other Services will be charged to your Payment Method or invoiced to you according to the applicable Fees Page, Order Form or Statement of Work. At the end of the indicated Services Term for Non-Subscription Services, your purchased Services will expire and will require mutual written agreement for any renewal. Fees and Services changes for any renewal term will be determined at the time of renewal.
(b) Payment Method. Mingle may, from time to time, offer various expedited payment methods, including payment by credit card, debit card, or direct debit. If you select such a payment method, or provide such a payment method on an Order Form or Statement of Work, when purchasing the Services (the “Payment Method”), you authorize Mingle to charge you for Services through such Payment Method and agree to make payment using such Payment Method. Mingle may, from time to time, receive and use updated payment method information provided by you or that financial institutions or payment processors may provide to us to update information related to your Payment Method(s), such as updated expiration dates or account numbers. Certain Payment Methods, such as credit cards and debit cards, may involve agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Methods (the “Payment Method Provider”). If Mingle does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to directly pay all amounts due upon demand from Mingle. Your non-termination or continued use of the Services reaffirms that Mingle is authorized to charge your Payment Method.
(c) Current Information Required. You agree to provide current, complete and accurate billing information and agree to promptly update all such information (such as changes in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date) with Mingle as necessary for the processing of all payments that are due to Mingle. You agree to promptly notify us if your Payment Method is canceled (for example, due to loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security related to your Payment Method. If you fail to provide any of the foregoing information, you acknowledge that your current Payment Method may continue to be charged for Services and you remain responsible for all such charges.
(d) Payment Matters. Payment of all invoices is due within 30 days of invoice receipt. If your Payment Method fails or your account is past due, Mingle reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your use of the Services. You agree to submit in writing to Mingle any disputes regarding any fees invoiced to you within 30 days of invoice receipt, or charged to your Payment Method within 60 days of such charge, otherwise such dispute will be waived and such invoices and charges will be final and not subject to challenge. You agree to reimburse us for all collection costs. Mingle reserves the right to charge you interest at a rate of 1.5% per month on any overdue amounts, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. Mingle has a no refund and no cancellation policy. You should contact your Mingle project manager or consultant if you believe special circumstances justify an exception to this policy. Any refunds or cancellation will be at our sole and absolute discretion. All prices for Services are subject to change without notice; however, Mingle will use reasonable efforts to notify you at least 30 days before any price increase.
(a) Grant of License. As between the parties, and except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, you will own and retain all rights, title, and interest in and to all data, information, text, graphics, links, and all other materials submitted by you or on your behalf, or that you allow us to access or upload from your systems, for processing by the Services (collectively, the “Client Content”).

MINGLE expressly disclaims all representations, warranties, guarantees and conditions, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment or non-infringement or those arising out a course of dealing or usage of trade. FURTHER, MINGLE DOES NOT WARRANT THE RESULTS OR PROVISION OR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE ANY BUSINESS BENEFITS AS A RESULT OF THE SERVICES (including receipt of incentive OR OTHER payments FROM CMS or absolving you of CMS payment adjustments), AND YOU ASSUME ALL RISK AND RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO. MINGLE MAKES NO WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATED TO THE AVAILABILITY, UPTIME, OR QUALITY OF THE SERVICES, AND MINGLE MAY FREELY ADD, MODIFY, UPDATE, REMOVE, AND REPLACE ANY SERVICES AS WELL AS DELETE ANY CLIENT CONTENT.
14. Limitation of Liability and Damages. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WILL MINGLE, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE (WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY), ANY LOSS OF GOODWILL OR BUSINESS REPUTATION, ANY LOSS OF DATA SUFFERED, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, THAT RESULTS FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROVISION OR USE OR THE INABILITY TO PROVIDE OR USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF MINGLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, MINGLE AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CHANGES WHICH MINGLE MAY MAKE TO THE SERVICES, OR FOR (A) ANY PERMANENT OR TEMPORARY CESSATION IN THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICES (OR ANY FEATURES OR COMPONENTS OF THE SERVICES); (B) THE DELETION OF, CORRUPTION OF, OR FAILURE TO STORE, ANY CLIENT CONTENT OR OTHER DATA MAINTAINED OR TRANSMITTED BY OR THROUGH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES; (C) YOUR FAILURE TO PROVIDE MINGLE WITH ACCURATE REGISTRATION INFORMATION OR OTHER INFORMATION; AND (D) ANY LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO KEEP YOUR username, PASSWORD OR any other authentication credentials or ACCOUNT DETAILS SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL. EXCEPT FOR AMOUNTS EXPRESSLY DUE AND OWING HEREUNDER, IN NO EVENT WILL MINGLE AND ITS AFFILIATES AND SUBSIDIARIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTY, INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE AMOUNT RECEIVED BY MINGLE FROM YOU DURING THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. YOU WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING AGAINST MINGLE MORE THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE UPON WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT MINGLE’S WARRANTY OR LIABILITY FOR LOSSES WHICH MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, BREACH OF CONTRACT OR BREACH OF IMPLIED TERMS, OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ONLY THE LIMITATIONS WHICH ARE LAWFUL WILL APPLY TO YOU AND MINGLE’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
(b) Arbitration. READ THIS PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM MINGLE. For any dispute with Mingle arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the Privacy Policy, Business Associate Terms and any Statements of Work or Order Forms), you agree to first contact us using our Contact Legal form and attempt to resolve the dispute with us through good faith discussions. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a dispute after 60 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement (including the Privacy Policy, Business Associate Terms and any Statements of Work or Order Forms) (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah, unless you and Mingle agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed as preventing either you or Mingle from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or other violation of either party’s confidential information or intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
(c) Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND MINGLE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
(a) Updates to this Agreement. From time to time, Mingle may change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Agreement (each an “Update”), and reserves the right to do so in its sole discretion. If Mingle Updates this Agreement, it will make the Updated Agreement available here, and the Updated Agreement will indicate the date of the latest revision. Mingle encourages you to review this Agreement periodically for changes. In the event that Updates to this Agreement materially alter your rights or obligations hereunder, Mingle will make reasonable efforts to notify you of the Updates. For example, Mingle may send a message to your email address that is currently associated with your Mingle Account or generate a pop-up or similar notification when you access your Mingle Account for the first time after such material changes are made. All Updated Agreements automatically take effect 30 days after they are made available through the Services, except that (i) disputes between you and Mingle will be governed by the version of this Agreement that was in effect on the date the dispute arose and (ii) unless specifically agreed otherwise, if you do not agree with any changes to this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement as set forth above. Your continued access to or use of the Services after an Updated Agreement has become effective indicates that you have read, understood and agreed to the current version of this Agreement.
(b) Audit Rights. Upon 15 days’ notice, Mingle may audit your use of the Services to ensure compliance with license, payment and other terms of this Agreement. You will cooperate with Mingle’s auditors and provide reasonable assistance and access to information. If the audit uncovers underpaid fees owed to Mingle, you will pay those fees and if the audit uncovers a material underpayment of fees or material breach, you will pay Mingle’s costs incurred in conducting the audit within 30 days of written notification of the amounts owed. All information gathered as part of the audit will be treated as your Confidential Information.
(c) Access to Records. If you purchase Services under this Agreement for $10,000.00 or more over a 12-month period, then upon the written request of the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Comptroller General or any of their duly authorized representatives, Mingle shall make available those contracts, books, documents and records necessary to verify the nature and extent of the costs of providing services under this Agreement. Such inspection shall be available for up to four (4) years after the rendering of such Services. If (i) you purchase Services under this Agreement for $10,000.00 or more over a 12-month period, and (ii) Mingle carries out any of the duties of this Agreement through a subcontract with a value of $10,000.00 or more over a 12-month period with a related individual or organization, Mingle agrees to include this requirement in any such subcontract. This Section is included pursuant to and is governed by the requirements of 42 U.S.C. Section 1395x(v)(1) and the regulations thereto. No attorney-client, accountant-client, or other legal privilege will be deemed to have been waived by you or Mingle by virtue of this Agreement.
(d) U.S. Government Users. If you are a U.S. Government end user, the Software Platforms and Documentation are Commercial Items, as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101, consisting of Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation, as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202, as applicable. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. §12.212 or 48 C.F.R. §227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to the U.S. Government end user (a) only as Commercial Items, (b) not as military or defense articles as defined in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 22 C.F.R Parts 120-130 or Export Administration Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Parts 700-799), and (c) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to these Terms. Unpublished-rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States.
(e) Entire Agreement; Conflicts. This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, Business Associate Terms and all Statements of Work and Order Forms, sets forth the entire agreement between Mingle and you, and supersedes any and all prior agreements (whether written or oral) with respect to the subject matter set forth herein. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of an Order Form or Statement of Work, the terms of this Agreement will control unless the Order Form or Statement of Work states that a specific provision of this Agreement will be superseded by a specific provision of the Order Form or Statement of Work, and then the superseded terms will only apply to the applicable Order Form or Statement of Work, and not to any other Order Form or Statement of Work.
(f) Miscellaneous. This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without the prior written consent of Mingle. Mingle may freely assign or transfer this Agreement. Both parties are independent contractors, and neither party is an agent, representative or partner of the other. In this Agreement, “including” means “including without limitation”. Mingle may, in its sole discretion, work with licensors, vendors, contractors and other third parties to fulfill any obligations in this Agreement or to support the Services, and we may change our use of licensors, vendors, contractors and other third parties without notice to you. Any notices under this Agreement will be sent by Mingle to at least one of the addresses provided to Mingle in connection with your registration or updates thereto (or in a separate writing) and will be sent by you to the address for Mingle shown on www.minglehealth.com. Notices will be sent by nationally recognized express delivery service and will deemed given one business day after deposit with such delivery service. The waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and will not act to amend or negate the rights of the waiving party. If any provision contained in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the original intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Headings are provided for convenience but do not constitute part of this Agreement.
