Developer API Terms of Service

Last Updated: 23 July, 2014

Our services provide an opportunity for doctors and other healthcare providers to have an online profile, receive informational requests from individuals who may be interested in becoming patients or receiving services from a provider, and share records with patients. Nephosity, Inc. makes the Jack Imaging application programming interfaces ("Jack Imaging Developer API" or "APIs") available to you to facilitate the development of useful medical applications using Jack Imaging data and developer tools.

This Jack Imaging Developer API Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement") forms a legal, binding agreement between you and Nephosity, Inc. and its corporate division Jack Imaging, and supplement those in our general Terms of Service found here (the "Terms"), to which you also accept and agree to be bound. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the APIs. By using one or more of the APIs, you, and if applicable-- the company you represent, (collectively "you") accept and agree to be bound by the Agreement.

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Terms, in Section "Definitions" below, or in the sections below in which they are first used. "Jack", "we", "our" and "us" refer to both Nephosity, Inc. and its corporate division Jack Imaging. "You" and "your" refers to the individual or entity that registers and account or uses the Services on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity. Nonetheless, each individual that uses the Service or accepts this Agreement on behalf of an organization agrees that the permissions given to Jack under this Agreement, and the restrictions and limitations to the rights of persons and entities using the Services, apply to each such individual. You may use the Services only if you have the power to form a contract with Jack and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so.

    11. Jack Independent Development

      You understand and acknowledge that Jack may be independently creating applications, content and other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with your Application, and nothing in these Terms will be construed as restricting or preventing Jack from creating and fully exploiting such applications, content and other items, without any obligation to you.

Accordingly, if you give Feedback, you agree that we may freely use, reproduce, license, and distribute such Feedback.

  3. Privacy, Policies, and Legal Compliance

    1. Privacy Policy

      Jack's collection and use of personal information from its users and developers is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms, with the exception that Jack may reveal personal information about developers for attribution purposes, handling inquiries from users or potential users, and other purposes Jack reasonably deems necessary pursuant to these Terms. You understand and agree that Jack may access, preserve, and disclose your personal information and your developer account details if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or protect the rights, property and/or safety of Jack, its affiliates or partners, its users, or the general public.

    2. Your Policies; Informed Consent

      You will (a) maintain your own user agreement and privacy policy applicable to users of the Application (your "Policies"), (b) comply with your Policies, (c) prominently identify and link to your Policies at those locations where users may opt to download or access your Application, and (d) promptly notify us of any breaches of your Policies by you or users of the Application. Your privacy policy will be at least as stringent and user-friendly as Jack's Privacy Policy. Before obtaining information from your users of the Application, you will obtain their informed consent by informing them what information you collect and how it will be used and/or shared.

    3. Data Storage and Conversion Limits.

      1. Prohibition on Copying and Storage. You may not copy, store or cache any Content returned or received through the APIs, including data about users, longer than the current usage session of the user for which it was obtained, except for the alphanumeric user IDs (Member Tokens) which we provide you for identifying users or any individual member's authentication token (OAuth Token) which we provide you when a Jack user authenticates your Application to his/her Jack account, and direct links to user content as provided in the response to requests made through the APIs
      2. Exceptions. You may store the Member Token and the OAuth Token until the earlier of:
        • Your ceasing using the APIs;
        • The Jack user uninstalls your application or directs you to delete the user's information; or,
        • We terminate your use of them for breach of these Terms.
      3. Exception to Storage and Conversion Limits with User Consent. The restrictions of this section do not apply to user profile data received through a one-time call through the APIs that a user explicitly permits you to collect and store, provided that you obtain the user's consent through the technical and user-interface specifications provided by Jack, and that any subsequent update to the profile data only be done with the user's explicit consent. PLEASE NOTE: a) User profile data does not include information about a user's connections, which may not be copied or stored; and b) you may only use stored profile data for the benefit of the Jack user that granted you permission to access it.
      4. Removal of Jack User Data from Your System. Also, you must remove all data collected with the user's consent upon request by the user, when the user uninstalls your Application, or when the user closes his or her account with you. The restrictions of this section also do not apply to "Independent Data", which means data that users provide directly to you and that is separately entered, uploaded, or presented to you by the user of your Application.

  4. Marketing and Publicity

    1. Your Marketing and Publicity

      You may promote your Application, including talking to traditional and online media and your users about your Application, so long as you do so truthfully and without implying that your Application is created or endorsed by Jack (or otherwise embellishing your relationship with Jack). However, you may not issue any formal press release via traditional or online media referring to Jack without Jack's prior consent, unless expressly allowed in the Guidelines for Use of Jack Brand Features.

    2. Jack's Marketing and Publicity

      We may publicly refer to you, orally or in writing, as a licensee of the Jack APIs and we may publish your name and/or logo (with or without a link to your Application) on our Website, in press releases, and in promotional materials without your prior consent.

  5. Confidentiality

    The term "Jack Confidential Information" means any information of or relating to Jack that becomes known to you through disclosure, observation or otherwise, and that either is designated as confidential by Jack or that is not generally known or readily ascertainable to the public, including, without limitation, nonpublic information regarding Jack's APIs and Jack's products, services, programs, features, data, techniques, technology, code, ideas, inventions, research, testing, methods, procedures, know-how, trade secrets, business and financial information and other activities. All Jack Confidential Information remains the property of Jack, and no license or other right in any Jack Confidential Information is granted hereby. You will not disclose any Jack Confidential Information to any third party, and will take all reasonable precautions to prevent its unauthorized dissemination, both during and after the term of these Terms. If you are a corporate entity, you will limit your internal distribution of Jack Confidential Information to your employees and agents who have a need to know, and will take steps to ensure that dissemination is so limited. You will not use any Jack Confidential Information for the benefit of anyone other than Jack. Upon Jack's written request, you will destroy or return to Jack all Jack Confidential Information in your custody or control. In addition to the terms of this provision, you and Jack will continue to be subject to any non-disclosure agreement that you and Jack have entered into separately. This provision will survive any termination of these Terms.
