AGREEMENT
- Infinx may use and disclose the Protected Health Information to provide the products and/or services contemplated by the Orders. Except as expressly provided below, this Addendum does not authorize Infinx to make any use or disclosure of Protected Health Information that Customer would not be permitted to make.
- Infinx will:
- Not use or further disclose the Protected Health Information except as permitted by the Orders or this Addendum, or as required by law;
- Use appropriate safeguards, and comply, where applicable, with the HIPAA Security Rule with respect to electronic Protected Health Information, to prevent use or disclosure of the Protected Health Information other than as provided for by the Orders or this Addendum;
- Promptly report to Customer any use or disclosure of the Protected Health Information not provided for by the Orders or this Addendum of which it becomes aware, including breaches of unsecured Protected Health Information as required by the Data Breach Notification Rule (45 CFR § 164.410), and any Security Incident of which Infinx becomes aware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Customer and Infinx hereby agree that Infinx receives frequent, routine, unsuccessful attempts to penetrate or compromise its systems, including pings, port scans and log on attempts, and that this constitutes Infinx’s report and notification to Customer of such events, and no further reporting of such Security Incidents is required unless these attempts result in an unauthorized access to, use, disclosure, destruction or loss of electronic Protected Health Information.
- Ensure that any of Infinx’s subcontractors that create, receive, maintain, or transmit Protected Health Information on behalf of Infinx agree in writing to the same or substantially similar restrictions and conditions that apply to Infinx with respect to such information, including compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule with respect to electronic Protected Health Information;

- Infinx may use the Protected Health Information for the management and administration of Infinx’s company and to carry out Infinx’s own legal responsibilities, and Infinx may disclose the information for these purposes if Infinx is required to do so by law, or if Infinx obtains reasonable assurances from the recipient of the information (a) that it will be held confidentially, and used or further disclosed only as required by law or for the purpose for which it was disclosed to the recipient, and (b) that the recipient will notify Infinx of any instances of which the recipient is aware in which the confidentiality of the information is breached.

This Addendum shall automatically be incorporated in all subsequent agreements between Infinx and Customer involving the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information, in which a business associate or subcontractor relationship exists, whether or not specifically referenced therein.
- This Addendum is to be interpreted in accordance with HIPAA, the HITECH Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended from time to time. The terms of this Addendum shall prevail in the case of any conflict with the terms of any Orders to the extent necessary to allow Customer to comply with the Privacy Rule.
- Nothing in this Addendum shall confer upon any person other than the Parties and their respective successors or assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities whatsoever. Subject to Section 2(d) above, Infinx may delegate its obligations under this Addendum without consent of the Infinx, including without limitation to subcontractors located outside of the United States.
