Hint Health Terms of Service

LAST UPDATED: [October 12, 2023]

Welcome to Hint Health! These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) govern any access and use by you and/or the entity or person on whose behalf you are accepting these Terms of Service (“you”) of Hint Health Inc.’s (“Hint Health”, “we” or “us”) offerings for direct care providers and any related software or services (the “Hint Health Service”) made generally available by Hint Health through a web application on our website, www.hint.com, and any corresponding sites or mobile applications, including the Thea Service (collectively, the “Site” and together with the Hint Health Service, the “Services”). The information on the Site and the Hint Health Service and resources available or enabled via the Site or the Hint Health Service are controlled by Hint Health. You may not use the Services without agreeing to these Terms of Service.

By clicking a box or button indicating acceptance of these Terms of Service in connection with an online order document or by executing an order form that references these terms (each an “Order Form”) or an MSA (as defined below) or by accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that (1) you’ve read, understood, and accept these Terms of Service and agree to be bound by it, (2) you are of legal age to form a binding contract with Hint Health, and (3) you have the authority to enter into these Terms of Service personally or on behalf of the legal entity identified during the account registration process, and to bind that legal entity to these Terms of Service.  IF YOU, OR IF APPLICABLE, SUCH LEGAL ENTITY, DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU, AND IF APPLICABLE, SUCH LEGAL ENTITY, MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE ANY OF THE SERVICES.

For some customers, these Terms of Service may be incorporated into another agreement you have with us, such as an enterprise master services agreement (“MSA”). If this applies to you, then in the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and the MSA, the MSA will govern.

The Hint Health Service is a software-as-a-service or “SaaS” offering, which means that our software is delivered through our Site and is not locally installed on your devices. This allows us to offer the Hint Health Service to you efficiently and effectively through our Site, but it also requires that we do not allow for modification or deviation from these Terms of Service on a per customer basis. Please contact us at support@hint.com if you have any questions.

Please read these terms CAREFULLY, as they may have changed! We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. In the event of a material change, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms of Service at www.hint.com/terms. You may also be notified via the contact information you provided to us, or upon your next log-in to the Hint Health Service. The updated Terms of Service will be effective thirty (30) days after such notice, and your continued use of the Hint Health Service after you have been notified of the updated Terms of Service will constitute your acceptance of the updated Terms of Service (unless a longer notice period is required by Applicable Law, as defined below); provided, however, that if you provide Hint Health with written rejection of the updated Terms of Service within the thirty day notice period, the binding terms in effect between you and Hint Health prior to beginning of the notice period will continue to be in full force and effect unless terminated according to their terms.

4. Fees and Payment Terms.

4.1 Fees. You agree to pay Hint Health the fees associated with the Hint Health Services or other services or offerings provided to you by Hint Health (“Fees”) pursuant to the pricing schedules found at www.hint.com/core/pricing and www.hint.com/clinical/pricing, unless an alternate pricing schedule is set forth in your Order Form or otherwise agreed to in writing between you and Hint Health (the agreed upon pricing schedule, the “Pricing”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hint Health may elect to increase the Fees by no more than three percent (3%) each anniversary of your agreement to these Terms of Service  (the “Annual Pricing Change”). You hereby agree to the Annual Pricing Change and that Hint Health is not obligated to provide you with any advance notice of any Annual Pricing Change. Hint Health will provide you with a regular invoice detailing Fees owed according to the applicable Pricing. All Fees paid are non-refundable and non-creditable.

4.2 Changes to Pricing. In addition to the Annual Pricing Change, Hint Health may change or update its pricing schedules found at www.hint.com/core/pricing, www.hint.com/clinical/pricing, and other locations from time to time in its sole discretion. Any such change or update will become effective automatically upon its posting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such change or update affects the Fees owed by you, Hint Health will provide written notice to you at the contact information associated with your Account and any such change or update will become effective thirty (30) days following Hint Health’s notice to you. Upon receipt of such notice, if you do not agree to such pricing changes or updates, you may terminate these Terms of Service pursuant to Section 7.2 (Termination by You). If you do not terminate these Terms of Service, your continued use of the Hint Health Service shall constitute acceptance of the changed or updated pricing schedule and any applicable Pricing between you and Hint Health will be amended accordingly. Hint Health reserves the right to provide the Hint Health Service, or certain features or functionalities thereof, free of charge, and doing so will not be construed to limit in any way Hint Health’s right to charge applicable fees for such services, features, or functionalities as described herein.

4.3 Additional Offerings. Hint Health may offer certain additional products or services to you during the Service Term (defined below) (“Additional Offerings”). You may accept or reject any Additional Offerings offered by Hint Health pursuant to the terms and conditions associated with the Additional Offerings. If you accept any Additional Offerings, any additional Fees owed with respect to the Additional Offering will be added to the applicable Order Form and Pricing and will be subject to the same payment terms and conditions, unless otherwise stated in writing by Hint Health.

4.4 Payment Terms. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Order Form, you will pay all Fees within thirty (30) days of the date indicated in the applicable invoice. All Fees are payable in United States dollars. You may specify a form of electronic payment at the time you register an Account with Hint Health for the Services, or, if no such payment form is specified, you will pay the Fees using a form of payment described in the invoice. Any Fees that are not received from you when due will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such payment is due until the date paid. You agree to keep all information provided to Hint Health with respect to payment methods (such as credit card information and billing address) accurate and up to date.  

4.5 Payment Provider.  You must provide Hint Health with a valid credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other issuer accepted by us, each, a “Payment Provider”) or bank account through an automated clearing house (“ACH”) as a condition to signing up for the Services.  Your Payment Provider agreement governs your use of a designated credit card, and you must refer to that agreement, not this Agreement, to determine your rights and liabilities.  With respect to ACH payments, the ACH network is controlled and managed by the National Automated Clearinghouse Association (NACHA) and its member organizations. When submitting payments over the ACH network, you must refer to and comply with the NACHA Operating Rules to determine your rights and liabilities with respect to such payments, not this Agreement. By providing Hint Health with your credit card number, or bank account through an ACH, and associated payment information, you agree that Hint Health is authorized to immediately invoice your Account for all fees and charges as they become due and payable and that no additional notice or consent is required.  In the event you elect to make payments via ACH, you authorize Hint Health to initiate electronic credit and debit entries to your account designated on your ACH authorization in accordance with the payment terms of the Agreement.  

4.6 Taxes. Each party is responsible for all taxes levied against that party in connection with the Agreement. If for any reason Hint Health has an obligation to collect or pay taxes for which you are responsible, such amounts paid will be added to the Fees and will be subject to the same payment terms and conditions, unless otherwise stated.

    2. The indemnification obligations provided in Section 6.1(a) are conditioned on the indemnified party (i) providing prompt written notice of the Claim to the indemnifying party, (ii) subject to the following sentence, providing the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the Claim (provided that the indemnifying party may not settle or defend any Claim that attributes culpability to the indemnified party without the indemnified party’s prior written consent), and (iii) providing to the indemnifying party all reasonable assistance, at the indemnifying party’s expense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hint Health reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to fully cooperate with Hint Health in asserting any available defenses. You agree that the provisions in this section will survive any termination of your Account, the Agreement and/or your access to the Services.

6.2 Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, in no event shall the Company Parties be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses, in each case whether or not the Company Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the Services or otherwise in connection with the Agreement, on any theory of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, under no circumstances shall the Company Parties be responsible for any damage, loss or injury resulting from hacking, tampering or other unauthorized access or use of the Services or your account or the information (including User Data) contained therein. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, except for liability under Section 1.1(a)(xiii), in no event shall the Company Parties’ cumulative liability to you exceed the amounts paid by You to Hint Health hereunder during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the event giving rise to such liability. Please note that some jurisdictions do not allow for such exclusion or limitations. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the foregoing limitations or exclusions may not apply to you and you may have additional rights.  The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Hint Health and you.
