Buyer acknowledges and agrees that End Users for certain Products and Services are healthcare providers who are 'covered entities' and are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of protected health information.

Individually identifiable health information includes, but is not limited to, common identifiers such as name, address, birthdate and social insurance numbers. Products and Services are capable of being used to dictate and transmit any speech data, including PHI.

Each Buyer agrees that it shall enter into a Business Associate Agreement ("BAA") with each End User as part of the End User license agreement or subscription agreement that governs Buyer's use of that PHI as needed in accordance with this Section 17. eDist and Buyer agree they expect it will not be necessary for an End User to disclose or for Buyer to receive or access any PHI in the course of Buyer performing its responsibilities under this Agreement or any related agreement or addendum. Buyer agrees it will not seek or accept access to or disclosure of any PHI from an End User or unless Buyer and the End User mutually agree this is necessary for the Buyer' or End User's proper management and administration, in which case Buyer will enter into its own BAA with the End User. Buyer understands that failure to comply with these provisions may result in liability to Buyer and others, for which Buyer shall be fully liable and responsible. Buyer will not represent itself to an End User as a subcontractor of eDist for any purpose, including for purposes of PHIPA, PIPEDA.
