2.5 Services Support. HelloNote will provide you with technical support for the Services as further detailed in our Subscription Agreement.
SECTION 3: PAYMENT TERMS
3.1 Free Accounts. Subscribers may sign up for a free account, which has certain limitations, including EMR documentation for up to two patients and certain Services and features may not be available (“Free Account”). For Free Accounts, the subscription term will be the period during which you have an account to access the Free Account. We may suspend, limit, or terminate the Free Account for any reason at any time without notice. We may terminate your subscription to the Free Account due to your inactivity.
3.2 Payment Terms for Paid Accounts. Subscribers with paid accounts will pay HelloNote the fees and charges set forth in the Subscription Agreement. If we have not entered into a Subscription Agreement, then as determined by the number of logins and the type of such logins. All monthly charges are due via credit card auto payment. Acceptance of this form by the Subscriber authorizes HelloNote to charge the credit card of the Subscriber on a monthly basis for Services rendered as well as for an initial login setup cost. If a credit card charge is attempted and does not go through, the Subscriber will have three (3) calendar days to resolve the situation. If the situation is not resolved within three (3) calendar days of notification that the credit card charge has failed, Subscriber agrees and understands that a $50 credit card failure fee will be charged to the Subscriber’s account and service will be terminated following thirty (30) calendar days of non-payment. Service may be re-activated by Subscriber within sixty (60) calendar days of termination with a payment of all due funds. All payments will be made in U.S. dollars and are non- refundable. Subscriber will pay HelloNote all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by HelloNote in enforcing any of the terms, conditions and provisions in this Agreement, including any of HelloNote’s rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement. In the event Subscriber wishes to add future logins, each login will be at the same cost of the current logins. If a login is added in the first fifteen (15) days of the billing cycle for the Subscriber, they will be charged at full cost. If a login is added in the last 15 days of the billing cycle for the Subscriber, they will be charged at half cost.
3.3 Suspension of Service for Non-Payment for Paid Accounts. We may suspend or terminate the Service and your access to the Website, or both, if you have not paid amounts owed to us when due. In advance of any suspension or termination, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to send a minimum 5-day notice of payment default to you prior to suspension or termination (you are responsible for updating your contact information with HelloNote and notifying us of any changes to such information).
SECTION 4: TERM AND TERMINATION
For paid accounts, this Agreement shall be valid as of the Effective Date for a one-month period that shall be automatically renewed thereafter for successive monthly periods (the “Monthly Subscription Term”), unless either party gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to expiration of the then current Monthly Subscription Term. Subscriber of a paid account may elect a one-year agreement at a discounted rate that shall be automatically renewed thereafter for a one-year period (the “Discounted Annual Subscription Term”), unless either party gives written notice to the other party of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to expiration of the then-current Discounted Annual Subscription Term.
Subscriber may order additional modules of the Services offered by HelloNote under this Agreement (each, an “Optional Module”).

Fees for annual Optional Modules activated mid-year are prorated; renewals occur on January 1 unless canceled by either party with 30 days’ notice before renewal.

Any and all de-identified information shall not be subject to HIPAA or any restrictions in HelloNote’s business associate agreement.

HelloNote is not responsible for any text messaging or data transmission fees. If Subscriber provides a cellular phone number and agrees to receive communications from HelloNote, Subscriber specifically authorizes HelloNote to send text messages or calls to such number. Subscriber represents and warrants that it has obtained and will maintain all necessary consents and authorizations from message recipients (including patients) for communications sent via or in connection with the Services and will comply with all applicable laws (including the TCPA). Subscriber will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HelloNote from any claims arising from Subscriber’s communications or failure to obtain such consents.

All proprietary and confidential information and materials (“Confidential Information”) of either party will be held in confidence by the other party.

Each party will promptly notify the other party if it receives a request for the other party’s Confidential Information (unless notice is prohibited by law), and will reasonably cooperate with the other party’s efforts to seek protection from disclosure. Upon termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Confidentiality section will survive for a period of three (3) years from the termination date, and each party will either return to the other party all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control, or, at the other party’s request, destroy any such Confidential Information.
