SMART START ELIGIBILITY WIZARD
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
We invite you to use the Site for individual, consumer purposes (Permitted Purposes) – enjoy!
By using the Site, you promise that you are at least 13 years of age. If you are not yet 18 years old, you must have the permission of an adult to use the Site and agree to its Terms, and that adult must be a parent or legal guardian who is willing to be responsible for your use of the Site. In these Terms we are granting you a limited, personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to access and use and to display the Materials; your right to use the Materials is conditioned on Your compliance with these Terms. You have no other rights in the Site or any Materials and you may not modify, edit, copy, reproduce, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, alter, enhance or in any way exploit any of the Site or Materials in any manner. If we permit you, in writing in advance, to make copies of any part of the Site, you agree not to remove or alter any of our copyright and other proprietary notices as they appear on the Site. Further, you explicitly agree that you have not been granted any license to use the Smart Start Wizard proprietary platform or API. Unfortunately, if you breach any of these Terms the above right of access and use will terminate automatically.
Under certain circumstances, you may be presented with the ability to send referrals or inquiries directly to Community Based Organizations (“CBOs”) that are also Authorized End Users of our Site and Services. If you are a “covered entity” or “business associate” as those terms are defined in regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), at 45 CFR 160.103, You are responsible for ensuring that disclosures that you make to any CBO comply with HIPAA requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, First 5 Modoc is not a business associate of any CBO, and does not sign a “business associate agreement” or other written agreement governing the use or disclosure of “protected health information” with any CBO. Between You and First 5 Modoc, you are solely responsible for entering into a business associate agreement with any entity if, in your sole interpretation, one is necessary to disclose or receive information to that entity.
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any Authorized End Users to: (i) copy or duplicate any of the Materials in any form, regardless of technique (e.g., screen-scraping, downloading, printing except as permitted in this Agreement and the Documentation or otherwise); (ii) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to obtain or perceive the source code from which any software component of any of the Materials is compiled or interpreted, or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Materials, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, and you acknowledge that nothing in these Terms will be construed to grant you any right to obtain or use such source code; (iii) modify, alter, tamper with or repair any of the Materials, or create any derivative product from any of the foregoing, or attempt to do any of the foregoing, except with our prior written consent; (iv) interfere or attempt to interfere in any manner with the functionality or proper working of any of the Materials; (v) remove, obscure, or alter any notice of any intellectual property or proprietary right appearing on or contained within any of the Materials; (vi) use any Open Source Software in connection with any of the Materials in any manner that requires, pursuant to the license applicable to such Open Source Software, that any of the Materials be (a) disclosed or distributed in source code form, (b) made available free of charge to recipients, or (c) modifiable without restriction by recipients; (vii) assign, sublicense, sell, resell, lease, rent or otherwise transfer or convey, or pledge as security or otherwise encumber, your rights granted hereunder; (viii) host, save, preserve, memorialize, aggregate, collect, compile, or otherwise retain or store any of the Materials (or any copy thereof); or (ix) use the Materials in any manner not expressly authorized by these Terms. You will ensure that Your use of any of the Materials complies with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations, or rules and will not use any of the Materials in connection with any illegal activities.
In addition to our cancellation rights set forth in these Terms, First 5 Modoc reserves the right, in our reasonable discretion, to temporarily suspend your access to and use of the Services: (i) during planned downtime for upgrades and maintenance to the Services (First 5 Modoc will generally provide notice of such planned downtime on the Smart Start Wizard homepage); (ii) during any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of government, acts of terror or civil unrest, technical failures beyond our reasonable control (including, without limitation, inability to access the Internet), or acts undertaken by third parties; or (iii) if we suspect or detect any malicious software connected to your Account or use of the Services by you or your Authorized End Users.
