ClinOne Terms of Service
Last Revised: 3/15/2023 12:00:00 AM
ClinOne, Inc. ("ClinOne", "we",
"our", or "us") provides the web-based clinical trial
enrollment, consent, data capture, compliance and engagement platform known as
"ClinTrialConnect" (the "Platform") and we may provide
software that may be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet to access services (each a "
Mobile
Applications
"). The Platform, the Mobile Applications, and the services which ClinOne
provides to you in connection with the Platform and Mobile Applications, are referred to as the
"Services".
ClinOne provides the Services in connection with clinical studies (each a "Study").
You may be accessing the Services as an individual participant in the Study (a
"Patient") or as a representative of a hospital, clinic, university, or other site
conducting the Study (a "Site").
These Terms of Service (these "Terms") are a legal agreement between you and ClinOne
governing your access to and use of the Services. If you are accessing the Services on behalf of a Site, then
you represent and warrant that you have the right to bind the Site to these Terms, and all other references to
the term "you" in these Terms shall be considered references to the Site. These Terms are separate
and apart from any agreements between a Site, a Participant, and/or the party sponsoring the Study or their
service providers (the "Sponsor"), including, without limitation, any Informed
Consent (defined below) or applicable Clinical Trial Agreement.
BY REGISTERING FOR THE SITE OR SERVICE, OR BY OTHERWISE ACCESSING THE SITE OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES YOU AGREE
TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.
You represent and certify that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from
receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions. To register an Account
with ClinOne, you must be 18 years or over. If you are between the age of 13 and 18, you will only use the
Services under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. Any use or
access to the Services by individuals under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in the jurisdiction where
you reside) is strictly prohibited and is a violation of these Terms.

SERVICES.

Accounts and Registration. You may access and use certain features of the Services
by creating a ClinOne User Account (your "Account"). You may log into
your Account to use such Services using a unique username and password. You are responsible for
safeguarding your password and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are
solely responsible for any activities or actions taken under your username, whether or not you have
authorized such activities or actions. You agree that the information that you provide to ClinOne
about yourself upon registration of your Account, and at all other times, ("

you will maintain and promptly update the User Data to ensure that it remains true, accurate,
current and complete. You may not impersonate any other person or use a username or password that
you are not authorized to use. ClinOne reserves the right to require you to change your password for
any reason at any time. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your Account, you agree to
notify ClinOne Support immediately at support@clinone.com. ClinOne is not liable for any loss or
damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.
-

Study (the "Permitted Purpose"), (b) download, install, and use the
Mobile Application(s) made available by ClinOne for public use on your own handheld mobile device
solely for the Permitted Purpose. This license is exclusive to you and you may not sublicense the
use of the Services.
-
Limitations. You expressly agree that you are solely responsible for any and all
acts and omissions that occur
through your use of the Platform, and you agree not to engage in any unacceptable uses of the
Services, which include, without limitation, use of the Services to: (a) register an Account or
otherwise access or use the Services if you have not acknowledged reading and agreed to abide by
these Terms; (b) interfere, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts for the

involved in your participation in the Study. The Informed Consent should: (a) explain that the Study
involves research and provide an explanation of the purpose of the research, (b) describe the
expected length of time for participation in the Study, (c) describe all the procedures that will be

alternative procedures or treatment (if any) that might benefit you, (h) provide details about how
information relating to your participation in the Study will be maintained, and (i) provide
information about your right to refuse continued treatment or participation in the Study. Informed
Consents may be updated from time to time throughout the course of a Study. When an Informed Consent
is updated, you will be asked to review and consent to the updated Informed Consent. While ClinOne
may review Informed Consent forms provided by Sponsors or Sites, ClinOne is not responsible for the
contents of any Informed Consent or for a Sponsor’s or Site’s compliance with the
Informed Consent. Whether or not you agree to an Informed Consent, or any updates thereto, is
entirely your own decision.
-
App Store Terms. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of a Mobile
Application is dependent on the third party websites from which you download the mobile apps, e.g.,
the App Store from Apple or the Android app market from Google (each an "
App
Store
"). You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and ClinOne, and not
with an App Store. Each App Store may have its own terms and conditions to which you must agree
before downloading Mobile Apps from it. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Mobile
Apps is conditioned upon your compliance with, such App Store terms and conditions. To the extent
such other terms and conditions from such App Store are less restrictive than, or otherwise conflict
with, the terms and conditions of these Terms, the more restrictive or conflicting terms and
conditions in these Terms apply.

connection with your participation in a Study, please contact your local Emergency Services
immediately and notify your clinical research Site. For any other questions or concerns relating to
your participation in a Study, please contact your clinical research Site.

-
Copyright in Your User Materials. In connection with your access to, or use of, the
Services, you may have the opportunity upload or provide certain information, data, text, video,
messages, or other materials ("User Materials"). The term User
Materials specifically excludes health and clinical study information made available by a Site or
Sponsor pursuant to an Informed Consent ("Health Information"). ClinOne
does not claim ownership rights in any such User Materials that you make available. By submitting
your User Materials and accepting the consideration set forth in these Terms, you unconditionally
grant to ClinOne a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, fully-paid, transferable right
and license, with the right to sublicense through multiple levels of sublicensees, under all of your
intellectual property rights in the User Materials, to (a) reproduce, create derivative works
of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally transmit, and otherwise use the User

discussion of illegal activities with the intent to commit them, including a submission that is, or
represents an attempt to engage in, child pornography, stalking, sexual assault, fraud, trafficking

commit any criminal activity; (c) infringes or violates any right of a third party including any

its sole discretion, deems abusive, defamatory, obscene, in violation of the law, including but not
limited to copyright or trademark law, or otherwise unacceptable. ClinOne will not be liable for any
Health Information or User Materials submitted by you or any other party.
-
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE AND LINKING.
-
Open Source Software. Certain items of software included with the Services may be
subject to "open source" or "free software" licenses ("
Open

"). Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants you
rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the Open
Source Software. If required by any license for particular Open Source Software, ClinOne makes such

any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services. Termination or suspension of your Account
and/or access to or use of the Services does not terminate or suspend your participation in a Study, whether

your participation in the Study. If you are a Site, your ability to terminate or suspend participation in a
Study is governed by your separate agreement with Sponsor.

-
YOU AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL
CLINONE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, USE, IMAGES, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLES, EVEN IF CLINONE HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE
THE SERVICES, FROM ANY CHANGES TO THE SERVICES OR FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR
TRANSMISSIONS OR USER MATERIALS. YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DOWN-TIME AND COMPUTER VIRUSES
ARE RISKS INHERENT IN THE USE OF THE INTERNET AND SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, AND YOU AGREE TO ASSUME
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY HARM OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM THESE
POSSIBLE HARMS. YOU ALSO SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY BE DISCLOSING SENSITIVE, PRIVATE AND

THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE SERVICES. THE TOTAL
LIABILITY OF CLINONE TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR USE OF SERVICES
SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE
EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY, IF ANY. IT IS THE INTENTION OF YOU AND CLINONE THAT THIS
PROVISION BE CONSTRUED BY A COURT AS BEING THE BROADEST LIMITATION OF LIABILITY CONSISTENT WITH
APPLICABLE LAW.
-
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER
TYPES OF DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS AND
IN PARTICULAR WITHIN THIS "INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY" CLAUSE SHALL ATTEMPT TO
EXCLUDE LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
-
RELEASE. You hereby release and forever discharge us (and our officers, employees, agents,
successors, and assigns)

demand, right, obligation, liability, action, and cause of action of every kind and nature (including
personal injuries, death, and property damage), that has arisen or arises directly or indirectly out of, or
relates directly or indirectly to: (a) Sponsor, (b) the Study, (c) any Informed Consent or the breach
thereof by any person, (d) any interactions with, or act or omission of, Sponsor or other users of the
Service, (e) any Third Party Service, and/or, (f) if you are a Patient, any interactions with, or act or
omission of, the Site. IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542
IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE
CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."
-
GENERAL.
-
Modification. ClinOne may modify these Terms at any time. Modifications become
effective immediately upon your
first access to or use of the Platform or Services after the "Last Revised" date at the
top of these Terms. Your continued access to or use of the Platform or Services after the
modifications have become effective will be deemed your conclusive acceptance of the modified Terms.
If you do not agree with the modifications, do not access or use the Platform or Services.
-
Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution. These Terms shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Colorado without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may require the
application of the law of another jurisdiction. If you believe that ClinOne has not adhered to these
Terms, please contact us by e-mail at compliance@clinone.com. We will do our best to address your
concerns. If you feel that your complaint has been addressed incompletely, we invite you to let us
know for further investigation. If you and ClinOne are unable to reach a resolution to the dispute,
you and ClinOne will settle the dispute exclusively under the rules of the American Arbitration
Association (www.adr.org) at its Denver, Colorado office. Any election to arbitrate by one party
will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE,
NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND CLINONE AGREE THAT
ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN CLINONE AND YOU INDIVIDUALLY. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE
AND AGREE THAT YOU AND CLINONE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS
MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and
ClinOne otherwise agree in writing, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s
claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding.
Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or
related to the use of the Services or these Terms must be brought, if at all, within one year from
the accrual of the claim or cause of action or be forever barred. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
ClinOne may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its confidential information and
intellectual property rights or to prevent loss of data or damage to its servers in any court of
competent jurisdiction. If you are subject to any state or federal law requiring that the laws of a
different jurisdiction apply or that prohibit dispute resolution in the manner required in this
Section, then this Section shall be deemed revised to conform with such laws.
-
Independent Contractors. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency
relationship exists between you and ClinOne as a result of these Terms or use of the Services.
-
Waiver. The failure of ClinOne to enforce any right or provision in these Terms
will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by ClinOne
in writing.
-
Construction. The headings of Sections of these Terms are for convenience and are
not to be used in interpretation.
-
Contact. ClinOne is located in Denver, Colorado. Any questions, comments or
suggestions, including any report
of violation of these Terms should be provided ClinOne as follows:
By
E-mail:
compliance@clinone.com

Mail: 5600 S Quebec Street, Suite
B310, Greenwood
Village, CO 80111
-
Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and
ClinOne with respect to the Services, superseding any prior agreements between you and ClinOne. The
failure of
ClinOne to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver
of such
right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be
invalid, you and ClinOne nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the
parties’
intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms shall remain in
full force and
effect.
