(b) Definition of Fax Page and Associated Terms:

Fax Duration Calculation

Most fax pages take less than sixty (60) seconds to transmit. However, for each transmission, the number of pages sent or received is calculated based on the greater of the actual number of pages or the number of full and partial 60-second increments of transmission or connection time, whether or not the transmission occurs or is completed (such as instances when someone answers the call or transmission is interrupted before completion). For example, a one-page fax with a transmission duration of 30 seconds is recognized as one page; and a one-page fax with a transmission duration of one minute and six seconds is recognized as two pages.

Outbound Page Calculations – Use Gift Pages or Service Credit

The number of outbound fax pages referenced in paragraph (a) of this Section 2, as included in the tiers of eFax service, is administered by applying a monthly outbound usage credit to your account and assumes that each outbound page is sent to a destination with an applicable per page rate of $0.10 (or the local currency equivalent). Therefore, your number of included outbound fax pages for a given thirty (30) day period may be less than the number specified for your tier of eFax service referenced in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 if you send to destinations with applicable per-page usage rates in excess of $0.10 per fax page. For example, if your service tier includes 150 outbound fax pages per thirty (30) day period, then an outbound service credit of $15.00 (or the local currency equivalent) will be applied to your account. If you send a five-page fax to a destination with an applicable per-page usage rate of $0.10, then your usage credit will decrease by $0.50 to $14.50. If you then send a five-page fax to a destination with an applicable per-page usage rate of $0.20, then your usage credit will decrease by an additional $1.00 to $13.50.

Unused inbound or outbound Services credits are valid in the month issued and expire at the conclusion of each applicable thirty (30) day period. Inbound or outbound Services credits have no cash value. Such credits do not roll over to the next thirty (30) day period, and you will receive no cash refund in the event any unused inbound or outbound Services credits remain in your account upon termination or closure of your account.

(3) a. eFax Protect:

Unless you registered for a different plan on the eFax website, through an application, or with a Sales Representative, you may receive up to 200 fax pages (inbound) and may send up to 100 fax pages (outbound) within any thirty (30) day period, regardless of whether you are issued a local or a toll-free eFax Number. Faxes received in excess of the inbound 200-page limit are charged at $0.16 (or the local currency equivalent) per page, and faxes sent in excess of the outbound 100-page limit are charged at $0.16 (or the local currency equivalent) per page. See paragraph (b) below for the definition of a fax page.

For inbound faxes, eFax Protect allows customers to access their faxes using one or more of the following options:

• MyPortal Message Center
• eFax Messenger Desktop Application
• Mobile App

For outbound faxes, only the following mechanisms provide encrypted transmission when sending a fax thru eFax Protect

• MyPortal web application
• eFax Messenger Desktop Application
• Mobile App

The above Inbound and Outbound options require user or application level authentication. Customers may also download faxes from above services, however once the fax is downloaded, it is outside the scope of the eFax Protect product.

If subscribed to the eFax Protect plan, downloaded faxes will be in searchable PDF format. Searchable PDFs will have the ability to have their text content searched. Searchable PDFs are only available on the eFax Protect plan.

If you were issued a toll-free eFax Number, you will be charged $0.16 (or the local currency equivalent) per page received (inbound) starting with the first page received and will be charged the greater of $0.16 or the applicable per page rate listed at the eFax Website for each page sent (outbound), starting with the first page sent. See paragraph (b) below for the definition of a fax page.

Therefore, your number of included outbound fax pages for a given thirty (30) day period may be less than the number specified for your tier of eFax service referenced in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 if you send to destinations with applicable per-page usage rates in excess of $0.16 per fax page. For example, if your service tier includes 150 outbound fax pages per thirty (30) day period, then an outbound service credit of $15.00 (or the local currency equivalent) will be applied to your account.

9. Unsolicited Fax Advertisement/Spam Drop-Box Policy

a. Unsolicited Fax Advertisement Policy: The transmission of unsolicited fax advertisements is illegal in the United States under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) (https://transition.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/unwantedfaxes.pdf) and in the European Union under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, and is also illegal under the laws of a number of other countries, states and provinces. Distribution of unsolicited fax advertisements through the Services is prohibited and may be considered a material violation of this Agreement. The Company reserves the right to terminate the Agreement and pursue other legal remedies available to it; or any combination of these remedies. Notwithstanding the above, the Company’s distribution of advertising to its customers is not considered unsolicited fax advertising based upon your acceptance of this Agreement.

At the Company’s option and without further notice, the Company may use technologies and procedures, such as filters, that may terminate the transmission of such unsolicited fax advertisements without delivering them.

If you believe that you are in receipt of an unsolicited fax advertisement, and if the fax contains a telephone number, fax number or other contact information to “unsubscribe” from receipt of additional junk faxes, please unsubscribe accordingly.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company has any and all rights (but no obligation) to assert any and all legal claims available against any third party as a result of your receipt of any unsolicited fax advertisements—including, but not limited to, claims under the TCPA and similar laws of any other country, state or province—and to the extent you do have any rights to bring any such claims, you hereby assign any and all such rights to the Company as consideration for its provision of the Services.

Because eFax Numbers may be reassigned to other customers in the event your account is canceled, and to ensure the best possible service for all customers, you are not permitted to “opt in” to receive, on your eFax Number, facsimile advertisements of the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods or services from persons with whom you have not established a business relationship.

b. Spam Drop-Box Policy: The Company does not permit its customers to use eFax Numbers as “drop-boxes” for responses to email or fax spam offers. If you believe you are in receipt of email, or fax, spam that uses an eFax Number as a “drop-box” for responses, and if the email or fax contains an email address, telephone number, fax number or other contact information to “unsubscribe” from receipt of additional messages, please unsubscribe accordingly. Please contact customer service if you believe your eFax Number has been used as a “drop-box.”The Company appreciates your assistance in enforcing and complying with these policies and looks forward to continuing to make your experience a positive one.

16. Charges

a. Pricing Plans:

You agree to pay all charges for your use of the Services in accordance with the pricing plan you were offered and agreed to upon registering for the Services. The Company reserves the right to charge value-added taxes (“VAT”), sales or other taxes on the Services as it deems appropriate and the Company reserves the right to change prices or institute new charges for access to or use of the Services, including Discounted Services.

The Company may amend your pricing plan, including any charges thereto, at any time either by (a) posting pricing plan changes on the eFax Website, or (b) sending information regarding the pricing plan changes to the email address you provided to the Company. You are responsible for regularly reviewing such pricing information. Continued use of the Services or non-termination of your account, after changes are either posted or emailed to you, constitutes your acceptance of the prices as modified.

If you have questions regarding any charges that have been applied to your account, you must contact the Company’s Customer Service Department within thirty (30) days of the charge date. Failure to do so will waive your ability to dispute such charges. Failure to use your account will not be deemed a basis for refusing to pay any charges.

b. Payment for Services:

Your activation fee, and monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual service fees (as applicable), are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. You agree that for monthly subscriptions, the Company may submit charges for your monthly service fee each month; and for quarterly, bi-annual or annual subscriptions, the Company may submit charges for your service fee quarterly, bi-annually or annually in each case, without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization or wish to change your designated card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice. If you add eFax Numbers to an existing Services account, your first payment for such additional eFax Numbers may be prorated to coincide with the annual/monthly anniversary of your first eFax Number. You agree that the Company may (at its option) accumulate Services fees incurred during your monthly billing cycle and submit them as one or more aggregate charges during or at the end of each cycle, and that the Company may delay obtaining authorization from your card issuer until submission of the accumulated charge(s). This means that accumulated Services fee charges may appear on the statement you receive from your card issuer.

Your activation fee, usage charges, and monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual Services fees, and late fee, as applicable, must be made by the credit or debit card(s) designated by you for the Company use and transactions. If the payment method for your Services account is by credit or debit card and payment is not received by the Company from the card issuer or its agent or affiliate, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by the Company. Each time you use the Services, or allow or cause the Services to be used, you agree and reaffirm that the Company is authorized to charge your designated card(s). Your card issuer’s agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with payment for the Services, and you must refer to such agreement (not this Agreement) with respect to your rights and liabilities as a cardholder.

c. Viewing Your Account Balance: To view your current account balance, along with billing details and any accumulated charges, please click on “Billing” after logging in to the eFax MyPortal Website.

d. Free-Trial Customers: If you subscribed to the Services pursuant to a special offer granting you a free trial period, your initial service fee will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT (meaning the amounts pre-authorized will not be considered available credit or debit funds in such account). These fees will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such free trial period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

e. Pre-Paid Discounts: If you subscribed to the Services pursuant to a special offer granting a pre-paid discount for a fixed number of months, your pre-paid fees are payable in advance and are COMPLETELY NON-REFUNDABLE. In addition, your initial monthly service fee for the month immediately following your pre-paid period will be PRE-AUTHORIZED AGAINST YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD LIMIT and will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from you, upon the expiration of such pre-paid period, unless you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated this authorization. Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

f. Usage Charges:

Additional charges apply when you exceed the number of inbound or outbound fax pages included in your eFax Services tier. Usage fees are payable in advance at a fixed amount as set from time to time by the Company, currently U.S. $10.00 or the approximate equivalent in local currency (the “Usage Prepay Amount”). You may choose to increase the size of your Usage Prepay Amount by logging into your account at the eFax Website or by contacting the Company’s Customer Service Department. The Usage Prepay Amount will be immediately and automatically charged to your credit or debit card without further authorization from you upon incurring usage in excess of the number of inbound or outbound fax pages included in your eFax service tier (or, in the event you are provided with a free usage credit, upon your depletion of such credit). Your Usage Prepay Amount will thereafter be reduced based upon your incurring usage fees, and each time your Usage Prepay Amount is depleted to a certain level (currently U.S. $2.00 or the approximate equivalent in local currency), another fixed Usage Prepay Amount in the same amount as the prior Usage Prepay Amount will be immediately charged to your credit or debit card, without further authorization from or notice to you.

Furthermore, in the event that the Company submits charges for your monthly, quarterly, bi-annual or annual service fee and those charges are rejected by your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate), you hereby authorize the Company to apply your Usage Prepay Amount to pay for some or all of your service fee or late fee due.

You agree that the Company may submit charges for the Usage Prepay Amount without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated or canceled your eFax Services or wish to change your designated card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

Upon you giving the Company notice that you have terminated or canceled your eFax Services, or in the event that the Company should terminate or cancel your eFax Services or account in accordance with the provisions herein, the unused portion of your Usage Prepay Amount (if any) will be applied toward any outstanding charges, and any remaining portion of your Usage Prepay Amount will be forfeited and non-refundable.

In addition, in the event you fail to incur usage charges on the Services for a period of six (6) months or longer, you will be deemed to have forfeited any remaining Usage Prepay Amount in your eFax account. In such event, the Company reserves the right to eliminate your remaining Usage Prepay Amount (if any) without notice.

g. Notification of Changed Billing Information: You must promptly notify the Company of changes to: (a) the account number, security code or expiration date of your designated credit or debit cards; (b) your billing address for the designated credit or debit card; and (c) the name of each minor whom you have authorized to use your Services account. You must also promptly notify the Company if your card is canceled for any reason, including loss or theft. In order to avoid Services interruptions caused by rejected credit or debit card charges, the Company reserves the right to update your credit or debit card details (such as expiration dates or new card numbers). You understand and agree that the Company is entitled to obtain such updated card details, store them and use them to bill charges. You acknowledge and accept that Consensus Cloud Solutions, LLC. may automatically bill or charge the designated credit or debit card for any outstanding balances after you notify us of the change or update the designated payment information in your account.

h. Usage and/or Account Credit Balances. The Company may, from time to time, award you a credit applied to your eFax Services usage and/ or account balance, which is a non-refundable credit . eFax Services usage and/ or account credit balances have no cash value and will expire on the earlier of (i) termination of your account or (ii) 30 days after they are issued, and are subject to any additional terms associated with the credit offer.

i. Late Fees. An administrative late fee of $4.95 USD or $6.00 CAD (or the approximate equivalent in local currency) or the maximum amount permitted under and subject to applicable law, may be charged to your account each time full payment of your outstanding balance is not received by the payment due date. You agree that the Company may submit charges for late fees without further authorization from or notice to you, until you provide prior notice (in accordance with the Company’s verification procedures, as may be established by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion) that you have terminated or canceled your eFax Services, or wish to change your designated card(s). Such notice will not affect charges submitted before the Company reasonably could act on your notice.

17. Termination for Non-Payment

The Company reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account and associated Services, without notice, upon rejection of any credit or debit card charges or if your card issuer (or its agent or affiliate) seeks return of payments previously made to the Company when the Company believes you are liable for the charge. Such rights are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other legal rights or remedies available to the Company.

Upon account closure, all faxes connected with your account (including those stored in the eFax Message Center) will be immediately and permanently deleted. In addition, you understand and acknowledge that in the event the account is later reactivated, your prior or preferred fax number(s) may not be available.

REGARDLESS OF WHEN THE PORT OUT IS COMPLETE, YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY ALL APPLICABLE ACCOUNT FEES WITH RESPECT TO THE TELEPHONE NUMBERS UNTIL YOU FORMALLY TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE. IF YOU FAIL TO SATISFY ANY OF THE FOREGOING REQUIREMENTS, THE COMPANY SHALL REMAIN THE CUSTOMER OF RECORD OF THE NUMBER(S) AND YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM CAUSING OR ATTEMPTING TO CAUSE SUCH NUMBER(S) TO BE TRANSFERRED TO ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER, TELEPHONE CARRIER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, but is not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, the Company’s software, the eFax Website, the Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and the Company. You agree that, by agreeing to the Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration provision does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Company on your behalf. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of your account.

b. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be addressed to: Consensus Cloud Solutions, LLC, ATTN: Legal Department, 700 S. Flower St., 15th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017, USA (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If the Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or the Company is entitled. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after the Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000.

c. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by the Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of the Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless the Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by video or telephone conference. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, the Company agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

d. The Company may make a written settlement offer anytime before an arbitrator is selected. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of the Company’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if the Company did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then the Company will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

e. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

(“Consensus US”), located at 700 S Flower St., 15th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017 (each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, Consensus Cloud Solutions, LLC. offers, among other service offerings, the Secured Service that Customer intends to use to send and/or receive messages that could contain PHI; and

WHEREAS, Customer and Consensus Cloud Solutions, LLC. are entering into this BAA that, along with the Agreement, will govern their respective obligations regarding HIPAA and PHI with respect to the Secured Service.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Parties agree as follows:

I. DEFINITIONS

“DHHS” means the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

“HIPAA” means the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act, the Health Information Technology for Economic & Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”), and the regulations enacted thereunder (including 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164), each as amended and as applicable.

“PHI” and “Unsecured PHI” mean “protected health information” and “unsecured protected health information,” as those terms are defined under HIPAA, if transmitted via Consensus US through Customer’s permitted use of the Secured Service.

“Secured Service” means the eFax Protect service provided by Consensus US pursuant to the Agreement.

All other capitalized terms shall have the same meanings as those set forth under HIPAA.

II. APPLICABILITY

A. Relationship to Service Agreement. This BAA amends the Agreement to govern the Parties’ respective obligations regarding HIPAA and PHI. To the extent there is any conflict or inconsistency between this BAA and the Agreement, with regard to matters related to HIPAA, the terms of this BAA will govern. Except as expressly amended by this BAA, the Agreement is unchanged and remains in full force and effect.

B. Parties. This BAA only applies to the extent Customer is acting as a Covered Entity or Business Associate to transmit PHI via the Secured Service and where Consensus US, as a result, is deemed to be acting as Customer’s Business Associate.

C. Secured Service. This BAA only applies to the Secured Service. All obligations and representations of Consensus US under this BAA are contingent on Customer’s agreement, representation, and warranty that it will not create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI using a Consensus US service other than a Secured Service that is or another Consensus US service for which the Parties have entered into a separate HIPAA business associate agreement.

III. PERMITTED USE & DISCLOSURE

A. By Consensus US. Consensus US is authorized to access, use, maintain, and disclose PHI as necessary and appropriate to perform the Secured Service. Consensus US may also access, use, maintain, and disclose PHI for the proper management and administration of its business operations and to carry out its legal responsibilities, provided that disclosures for such purposes are either required by law or Consensus US obtains reasonable assurances from parties to whom PHI is disclosed that:

• the PHI will be held in confidence;
• the PHI will be used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose Consensus US disclosed that PHI; and
• Consensus US will be notified of any Breach.

Consensus US agrees not to access, use, maintain, or disclose PHI other than as provided above

B. By Customer. Except as otherwise permitted under HIPAA, Customer shall not request Consensus US to use or disclose PHI in a manner that would not be permissible under HIPAA if done by Customer. With regard to Customer’s management and administration of the Secured Service to its end users, Customer is responsible for using and enforcing the available controls within the Secured Service to support its HIPAA compliance requirements, including by adhering to the Guidelines. Customer agrees that Consensus US has no HIPAA obligations under this BAA to the extent Customer creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI outside of the Secured Service, including through Customer’s use of non-Consensus US applications or tools.

C. By Agents & Subcontractors. Consensus US will take appropriate steps to ensure that any agents and subcontractors used by Consensus US to perform its obligations under the Service Agreement who require access to Unsecured PHI are bound by written obligations that provide materially the same level of restrictions, conditions, and requirements for PHI that apply to Consensus US through this BAA.

IV. REPORTING

A. Appropriate Safeguards. With respect to the Secured Service, Consensus US and Customer will use appropriate safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI, consistent with this BAA and as required under HIPAA.

B. Reporting. In compliance with HIPAA, Consensus US will report to Customer any of the following events of which it becomes aware:

• Any use or disclosure of Unsecured PHI not provided for by this BAA;
• Any Security Incident; and/or
• Any Breach of Unsecured PHI.

Notification shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, consistent with the legitimate needs of law enforcement and Consensus US’s efforts to comply with applicable law, and after allotting reasonable time for Consensus USto investigate the Breach, restore the integrity of its systems and the Secured Service , and mitigate further harm.

C. Accounting Rights. To the extent applicable, Consensus US will make available to Customer any PHI that Customer maintains using the Secured Service, so that Customer may fulfill its HIPAA obligations to provide individuals with their information access, amendment, and accounting rights. Customer is responsible for managing its use of the Secured Service to appropriately respond to such requests by individuals.

D. Access to Records. To the extent required by law and subject to any applicable privileges and immunities, Consensus US will make available to the Secretary of DHHS Consensus US’s internal practices, books, and records concerning PHI transmitted by Customer through the Secured Service, in order for the Secretary of DHHS to assess HIPAA compliance.

V. TERM & TERMINATION

A. Term. The term of this BAA shall terminate conterminously with the Agreement, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section V(B) or V(C). In the event that this BAA is terminated earlier than the Agreement, Customer may continue to use the Secured Service in accordance with the Agreement but must delete any PHI maintained using the Secured Service and cease to create, receive, maintain, and transmit PHI using the Secured Service.

B. Termination for Cause. In the case of a material breach of this BAA, the non-breaching Party shall provide written notice promptly upon its discovery of such breach. The breaching Party shall be afforded a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure, after which the non-breaching Party may choose to terminate this BAA and the Agreement if the breaching Party does not reasonably cure the breach.

C. Other Termination. This BAA may also be terminated if: (i) the Agreement is terminated or amended to no longer cover Consensus US’s provision of Secured Service to Customer; (ii) HIPAA is amended or superseded such that an agreement such as this is not required; or (iii) both Parties mutually agree to terminate this BAA, provided that either a new HIPAA business associate agreement must be put in place or the service relationship between Consensus US and Customer must terminate in all respects that involve PHI.

D. Destruction upon Termination. After termination of this BAA, the Parties shall destroy all PHI associated with Customer that has been maintained on Consensus US’s systems within a reasonable time. To the extent destruction is not feasible, Consensus US will extend the protections of this BAA to the remaining PHI and limit further use and disclosure to the purposes that make destruction infeasible.

VI. GENERAL PROVISIONS

A. Amendments. This BAA may be modified or amended by Consensus US upon notice or by posting an updated BAA to the applicable website.

B. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This BAA is entered into solely for the benefit of the Parties and has not been entered into for the benefit of any third party, including without limitation, any patients of Customer or their legal representatives.

C. Invalidity. If any provision of this BAA is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, this BAA shall be construed as though such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted, provided that the remainder of this BAA continues to satisfy HIPAA requirements for a business associate agreement. If it does not, then the Consensus US shall, at its discretion, amend the BAA so that it does comply with HIPAA, or terminate this BAA and the service relationship between Consensus US and Customer in all respects that involve PHI.

D. Integration. This BAA is subject to the Agreement and contains the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to HIPAA and PHI, and supersedes all prior understandings, whether written or oral, regarding the same subject matter.

2.1 DESCRIPTION AND PRICE OF CORPORATE SERVICE

The Corporate Service currently known as “eFax Corporate” is described here. The price schedule for this Corporate Service, which is incorporated herein by this reference, is available here. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE AGREED, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY USING THE CORPORATE SERVICE YOU ARE AGREEING TO A MINIMUM $100 PER MONTH SERVICE COMMITMENT PER ACCOUNT.

a. General

If you signed up for the thirty (30) day trial offer, the activation fee and the subscription fee will be waived for any DID’s added in the first thirty days from account creation. For DID’s added after the first thirty days, you will be charged a $13.95 activation fee for all DID’s and $13.95 subscription fee for local DID’s and a $15.95 subscription fee for toll-free DIDs. As part of this trial offer, you will receive a one-time credit of $50 against your send usage which will expire sixty days following account creation. If you exceed the one-time $50 credit, you will be charged for any overage above the $50 credit. Also, as part of this trial offer, each DID will receive one hundred (100) inbound pages aggregated across the entire account and inbound overage will be charged at $0.10 per page and outbound overage will be charged at the rates set forth here.

In addition to the Corporate Service, Customer has the option to order one of the Company’s secure Corporate Services, “eFax Secure™” or TLS encryption. Please note that a Customer is unable at this time to order both eFax Secure and TLS encryption. Through eFax Secure, Customer receives the same services as eFax Corporate except that an email notification is sent upon receipt of a fax, which contains a secure link to access the fax from a secure 128 SSL bit encrypted storage Inbox dedicated for that telephone number. TLS encryption service enables the Company to route faxes to Customer through encrypted secure email. It ensures that all faxes sent to Customer through the Corporate Service will be routed through a single gateway and will be encrypted as they pass across the Internet. SMTP over TLS (SSL over SMTP) is implemented using the Extended SMTP (E-SMTP) protocol, and is detailed in RFC 3207. The Company TLS transmissions use enforced TLS via an X.509 certificate exchange. The use of TLS is negotiated between SMTP servers by use of a single Service Extension to SMTP, known as STARTTLS. If the request is accepted, the two servers will validate each other’s certificates and the channel then becomes encrypted. After this point, all communications between the servers will be private. For inbound faxing, Customer’s MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) provides its server certificate for authentication. For outbound faxing, the Company’s MTA supplies its server certificate for authentication.

An additional $2 service fee (above and beyond standard eFax Corporate fees) applies for each Service Telephone Number on an eFax Secure Account.

The following additional service fees (above and beyond standard eFax Corporate fees) apply for TLS encryption:

Activation Fee	Monthly License Fee per Account
$100.00	$100.00

Large File Sharing is available through the eFax Corporate™ website upon login. Files can be uploaded, recipient email addresses added and upon submission recipients receive an email with a link to access the transmitted files. If activated by the Administrator, End Users may upload a maximum of one cumulative gigabyte per each Large File Sharing submission (in a single file, or a combination of multiple files). End Users may designate up to twenty (20) recipients per submission. After submission, the system will email the End User’s recipients a link to the uploaded files. The End User who submitted the Large File Submission may only access the uploaded files if he or she designated him or herself as a recipient. Each recipient may download the transmitted file(s) a maximum of five (5) times over a period of thirty (30) days from the original submission. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Large File Sharing is provided as a convenience only. Furthermore, Customer acknowledges that links to files uploaded through Large File Sharing are public and non-secure, in that such links may be forwarded freely to any third party by the designated recipients, or forwarded by other third parties whom the sending End User did not designate. For that reason, the Company assumes no responsibility for the security, confidentiality or privacy of files uploaded via this feature. By using this feature, Customer acknowledges and agrees: (i) to assume sole responsibility for the content of any files uploaded, hosted and/or transmitted by any End User; and (ii) to assume any liability arising from any End User’s transmission of, and/or any third party’s receipt of, any End User’s uploaded files, even if the sending End User did not designate such third party as a recipient in the original Large File Sharing submission.

15. JUNK FAX/SPAM DROP-BOX POLICY

At eFax^®, we’re dedicated to protecting your privacy and keeping fax spam out of your inbox. Our commitment to you is simple:

• We don’t sell or disclose your fax number, ever

Despite our best efforts, you may receive unsolicited faxes on occasion. In order to assist us in our effort to lead the fight against unsolicited junk faxes, please take the following steps if you are in receipt of an unsolicited fax:

1. If the unsolicited fax contains a telephone number or other contact details, please contact the sender at once and request to have your fax number removed from their list.

20. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES

a. Customer and the Company agree that all disputes and claims between Customer and the Company shall be settled by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. This Customer Agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes, but is not limited to any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Services, the Company software, the Company’s websites, the Customer Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between Customer and the Company. Customer agrees that, by agreeing to the Customer Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that Customer and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party maybring an individual action in small claims court. This arbitration provision does not preclude Customer from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, including, for example, the Federal Communications Commission. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against the Company on Customer’s behalf. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Customer Agreement and the termination of Customer’s account.

b. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to the Company should be addressed to: Consensus, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 700 S. Flower St., 15th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90017, USA (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If the Company and Customer do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, Customer or the Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by the Company or Customer shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which Customer or the Company is entitled. Customer may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If Customer is required to pay a filing fee, after the Company receives notice at the Notice Address that Customer has commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse Customer for Customer’s payment of the filing fee, unless Customer’s claim is for greater than US$10,000.

c. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by the Customer Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of the Customer Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless the Company and Customer agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by video or telephone conference. If Customer’s claim is for US$10,000 or less, the Company agrees that Customer may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Customer’s claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Customer Agreement.

d. The Company may make a written settlement offer anytime before an arbitrator is selected. If the arbitrator issues Customer an award that is greater than the value of the Company’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if the Company did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then the Company will pay Customer the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

e. CUSTOMER AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN CUSTOMER’S OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both Customer and the Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with Customer’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer and tied to information about you. By using and browsing our Sites, you consent to the use by us and third parties of cookies and other technologies in accordance with this Policy.

What are the different types of cookies?

First party cookies are our own cookies set by our Site, controlled by us, and used to provide information about the usage of our Site.

Third party cookies are cookies from any other domain. Some of our business partners (for example, third-party advertisers) may use cookies on the Site, in emails or in our advertisements on other websites to allow them to deliver the services they are providing. In order to create a user-friendly experience, some of our third-party promotions and advertisements are designed to automatically transmit users’ information onto the third party’s landing page when you choose to “click” upon a third party’s advertisement or promotion. We do not control these third parties or their use of cookies. As such, this Policy covers the use of cookies by the Company and does not cover the use of cookies by any third-party advertisers. Please check the websites of those third parties for details on how they use cookies.

How long do cookies stay on your computer?

Two types of cookies may be used on the Site, session cookies and persistent cookies.

Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain in your browser or device until you leave the site; they are deleted from your device once you leave the Service.

Persistent cookies are small files stored on your hard drive until you delete them or until they reach their expiry date. These may, for example, be used to remember your preferences when you use the Site, recognize you on your return, and enhance your experience on the Site (see more about profiles below). Use of a persistent cookie is not linked to any personally identifiable information while on the Site except if you choose to store your user names and PINs so that you do not have to enter them each time you access your accounts. Then, a persistent cookie will be stored on your computer, which is linked to your account information. If you reject the persistent cookie, you may still use the Site but you will be limited in some areas of it.

How do we use cookies?

We may use cookies for the following purposes (either on our own or by using third party services):

Authentication and Preferences: Cookies can be used to recognize you when you visit our Sites, remember your preferences (such as languages and communication preferences), and customize your experience with using our Sites and Services.

Security: Cookies may enable and support our security features and to help us detect malicious activity.

Advertising: Cookies allow us to bring you advertising both on and off our Sites. We may also use a cookie to learn whether someone who saw an ad later visited and took an action on the advertiser’s site. Similarly, our partners may use a cookie to determine whether we’ve shown an ad and how it performed, or provide us with information about how you interact with ads. We may also work with a partner to show you an ad on or off our Sites, such as after you have visited a partner’s site or application.

Analytics: We use cookies to understand, improve, and research products, features, and services, including when you access our Sites from other websites, applications, or devices such as your mobile device.

Geo-Location Information: Some devices allow applications to access real-time location-based information (for example, GPS). Some photos or other contact you place within our Service may contain recorded location information. We may use this information to optimize your experience. Also, some of the information we collect from a device, for example IP address, can sometimes be used to approximate a device’s location.

Flash Cookies: We may, in certain situations, use Adobe Flash Player to deliver special content, such as video clips or animation. Flash cookies are stored on your device, but they are managed through an interface that is different from the one provided by your web browser. This means that it is not possible to manage Flash cookies at the browser level in the same way you would manage other types of cookies. Instead, you can access your Flash management tools from Adobe’s website directly.

Our List of Cookies may provide you with more information on the cookies used on our Sites. Note, the names of cookies, pixels and other technologies may change over time.

What other technologies do we use?

• Log Files: Like most websites, our servers use log files to analyze trends, administer our sites, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. The log file information consists of IP addresses, browser type, browser language, referring URL, platform type, etc., and is not linked to identifiable personal information.
• Clear Gifs: Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and we may use them to track the online movements of our users. Clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller than cookies, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We may also use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which emails have been opened by the recipients. This allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
• Profile: We may store information that we collect to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that detail their viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information may be tied to users’ personally identifiable information to improve the content of the Site for users, improve our Services and provide new services that are likely to be of interest to users and to direct pertinent product updates and marketing promotions to users if they have opted in to receive those promotions. We do not share personally identifiable elements of a user’s profile with other third parties. User profiles are shared in aggregate form only.
• Do Not Track Response: Certain web browsers may allow you to enable a “do not track” option that sends signals to the websites you visit indicating that you do not want your online activities tracked. This is different from blocking cookies as browsers with the “do not track” option selected may still accept cookies. Right now, there is no industry standard for how companies should respond to “do not track” signals, although one may be adopted in the future. We do not respond to “do not track” signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will modify this Privacy Policy accordingly. More information about “do not track” is available at www.allaboutdnt.org.

Can I Change My Cookie Preferences?

Browser settings allow you to choose whether or not to accept cookies or limit certain cookies. Most browsers also provide functionality that lets you review and erase cookies. If you use our Sites without changing your browser settings, we will assume that you are happy to receive all cookies on our Sites. Please be aware that if cookies are disabled, not all features of the Site may operate as intended.

Your mobile operating system may let you opt out from having your information collected or used for interest-based advertising on mobile devices. You should refer to the instructions provided by your mobile device’s manufacturer, but this functionality is usually available in the “Settings” section of your device. You can also stop us from collecting information through our applications by uninstalling our applications.

For more information about these specialized cookies and other technologies, and to learn more about behavioral advertising or to opt out of this type of advertising for some companies, you can visit http://www.networkadvertising.org or http://networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp.

Help Stop Unsolicited Fax Advertising

At eFax^®, we’re dedicated to protecting your privacy and keeping fax spam out of your inbox. Our commitment to you is simple:

• We don’t sell or disclose your fax number, ever
• We will never send you any faxes
• We don’t sell or share your email or contact details

Help Us Block Spam Faxes

Under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, it is a violation of Federal law to transmit an unsolicited advertisement by facsimile. This means that it is illegal to send a fax unless the recipient has expressly agreed to receive faxes from the sender, or the sender and receiver have an existing business relationship.

Despite our best efforts, you may receive unsolicited faxes on occasion. In order to assist us in our effort to lead the fight against unsolicited junk faxes, please take the following steps if you are in receipt of an unsolicited fax:

• If the unsolicited fax contains a telephone number or other contact details, please contact the sender at once and request to have your fax number removed from their list.
• If the sender persists, eFax Plus^® and eFax Pro^™ subscribers may contact eFax ^® Customer Support and request another fax number.

Thank you for helping us stop illegal fax advertising.
