Customer in writing, within ten business days, any use or disclosure of PHI not
provided for by this HIPAA BAA of which JotForm becomes aware.
3.2. Security Incident. JotForm shall report to Customer in writing, within ten
business days, any Security Incident affecting Electronic PHI of Customer of
which JotForm becomes aware. The Parties agree that this Section satisfies
any notice requirements by JotForm of the ongoing existence and occurrence
of attempted but Unsuccessful Security Incidents (as defined below) for which
no additional notice to Customer shall be required. For purposes of this HIPAA
BAA, “Unsuccessful Security Incidents” include: (a) “pings” on an information
system firewall; (b) port scans; (c) attempts to log on to an information system
or enter a database with an invalid password or user name; (d) denial-ofservice
attacks that do not result in a server being taken offline; or (e) malware
(e.g., a worm or virus) that does not result in unauthorized access, use,
disclosure, modification, or destruction of Electronic PHI.
3.3. Breach of Unsecured PHI. JotForm will notify Customer of any Breach of
Unsecured PHI in accordance with 45 C.F.R. §164.410. The notice required by
this Section will be written in plain language and will include, to the extent
possible or available, the following:
3.3.1. The identification of each individual whose Unsecured PHI has been,
or is reasonably believed by JotForm to have been, accessed, acquired,
used, or disclosed during the Breach;
3.3.2. A brief description of what happened, including the date of the
Breach and the date of discovery of the Breach, if known;
3.3.3. A description of the types of Unsecured PHI that were involved in
the Breach (such as whether full name, Social Security number, date of
birth, home address, account number, diagnosis, disability code, or other
types of information were involved);
3.3.4. Any steps Individuals should take to protect themselves from
potential harm resulting from the Breach;
3.3.5. A brief description of what is being done to investigate the Breach,
mitigate the harm, and protect against future Breaches; and

additional information which shall include a toll-free number, an e-mail
address, Web site, or postal address, if Customer specifically requests
JotForm to establish contact procedures.
4. Covered Entity's Obligations
4.1. Notice of Privacy Practices. Customer shall, upon request, provide
JotForm with its current notice of privacy practices adopted in accordance with
HIPAA.
4.2. Limitations in Notice of Privacy Practices. Customer shall notify
JotForm of any limitations in the notice of privacy practices of Customer under
45 C.F.R. § 164.520, to the extent that such limitation may affect JotForm’s
use or disclosure of PHI.
4.3. Restrictions or Changes in Authorization. Customer shall not agree to
any non-mandatory restrictions on the use or disclosure of Protected Health
Information if such restriction could affect JotForm’s permitted or required uses
and disclosures of PHI hereunder except upon JotForm’s express, written
consent. Customer shall notify JotForm of any changes, revocations or
restrictions of the use or disclosure of PHI if such changes, revocations or
restrictions affect JotForm’s permitted or required uses and disclosures of PHI
hereunder including, without limitation, any revocation of any authorization for
the use or disclosure of PHI.
4.4. Requests for Use and Disclosure. Customer shall not request that
JotForm collect, access, use, maintain or disclose PHI, or act in any manner,
contrary to or in violation or breach of the Regulations or this HIPAA BAA.
4.5. Appropriate Use. JotForm is a tool for securely collecting complex
information using customizable forms. JotForm is not an electronic health
record or other medical record system and should not be used to maintain a
Designated Record Set or relied upon directly to provide patient care.
Information collected via JotForm must be transferred into an appropriate
system of record (for example, an electronic health record) in accordance with
appropriate processes to assure confidentiality, accuracy and availability
before being used for patient care.
4.6. Communications Made Outside of JotForm, Inc. Customer
acknowledges and agrees that texting and other communications of protected
health information that Customer request JotForm to relay outside of the
JotForm pose heightened privacy and security risks. Customer further
acknowledges and agrees that it is Customer’s sole responsibility to determine,
as part of its HIPAA Risk Analysis, whether to prohibit or permit such
communications and, to the extent such communications are permitted, to
implement appropriate safeguards (including policies, procedures and training
of all authorized users) to manage these risks to a reasonable and appropriate
level consistent with HIPAA.
5. Termination
5.1. Termination upon Material Breach. Upon Customer's knowledge of a
material breach of this HIPAA BAA by JotForm, Customer shall notify JotForm
of such breach in reasonable detail and provide an opportunity for JotForm to
cure the breach or violation, or if cure is not possible, Customer may
immediately terminate this HIPAA BAA.
5.2. Return or Destruction of PHI. Upon termination of this HIPAA BAA,
JotForm will return to Customer all PHI received from Customer or created or
received by JotForm on behalf of Customer which JotForm maintains in any
form or format, and JotForm will not maintain or keep in any form or format any
portion of such PHI. Alternatively, JotForm may destroy all such PHI and
provide written documentation of such destruction.
5.3. Alternative Measures. If the return or destruction of PHI is not feasible
upon termination of the HIPAA BAA, then JotForm acknowledges and agrees
that it shall extend its obligations under this HIPAA BAA to protect the PHI and
limit the use or disclosure of PHI to those purposes that make the return or
destruction of PHI infeasible.
6. Third Party Beneficiaries
6.1. No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. Nothing express or implied in this
HIPAA BAA is intended or shall be interpreted to create or confer any rights,
remedies, obligations, or liabilities whatsoever in any third party.
7. Miscellaneous
7.1. Survival. Customer and Business Associate’s respective rights and
obligations under this HIPAA BAA shall survive the termination of the
Agreement.
7.2. Interpretation. Any ambiguity in the JotForm Terms shall be resolved to
permit Customer to comply with HIPAA and the Privacy Rule.
