Terms of use

A LEGAL DISCLAIMER

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE (THESE “TERMS”) CAREFULLY. BY USING,
ACCESSING, OR INTERFACING WITH THE SERVICES OR THE PLATFORM (AS EACH
TERM IS DEFINED BELOW), YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE (“YOU”, together with your
employees or representatives, collectively “USER” or “USERS”) TO BE BOUND AND
COMPLY WITH THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY (LINKED BELOW AND
WHICH MAY BE UPDATED AND AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE “PRIVACY
POLICY”). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS OR THE PRIVACY POLICY, YOU
MUST NOT USE, ACCESS, OR INTERFACE WITH THE SERVICES OR THE GRAPEVINE
PLATFORM. 

Grapevine Technologies, Inc. (“Grapevine,” “us,” or “we”) operates and maintains a hosted
proprietary platform accessible to Users through the internet, including www.go-grapevine.com
(the “Grapevine Platform”). The Grapevine Platform enables health care providers like User,
such as hospitals, surgery centers, hospital networks, health systems, doctor’s offices, private
clinics and other such providers (collectively, “Providers”) to (1) make cost-effective, cost-
competitive purchases of medical supplies (“Products”) from medical device and product
suppliers (“Vendors”); (2) categorize, manage, and view procurement spending and review User’s
purchase history data on the Grapevine Platform; and (3) access (a) non-anonymized Product
listings and prices of certain Vendors provided to or obtained by Grapevine (i) through or in
connection with the appointment of Grapevine as a purchasing agent of User in accordance with
Sections 2 and 3 of these Terms, (ii) from Vendors through an e-platform agreement or other
arrangement with such Vendors, (iii) and/or directly from User, and (b) User’s Product purchasing
data, costs and/or expenses provided to Grapevine, or otherwise accessible to User on the
Grapevine Platform (collectively, “Product Data”). Grapevine may aggregate medical supplies
purchasing data, including Product Data, provided by Vendors and Providers, like and including
User, to provide User and other Users with anonymized, aggregated, and de-identified cost-savings
reports, product recommendations, and enhanced cost savings, and such anonymized, aggregated,
de-identified summarized data or comparisons and/or generalization of such data that includes
Product Data shall be referred to herein as Grapevine Data. For the sake of clarity, Grapevine
Data shall not be deemed to include or constitute Product Data. Grapevine makes no claim to
ownership of Product Data and it is provided solely for User to obtain the Services. Although
Grapevine has endeavored to include in the Product Data and Grapevine Data information known
to it which it believes to be accurate and relevant for purposes of the Services, User acknowledges
that the Product Data and Grapevine Data are generated in whole in part from third-party data and
therefore Grapevine does not warrant that the Product Data or Grapevine Data will be accurate or
complete and Grapevine shall have no liability to User resulting from its use of the Product Data
or Grapevine Data (or any errors therein or omissions therefrom).

1. User Access to Services and License. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between
Grapevine and User. These Terms govern User’s use of the Grapevine Platform and any
services available therein or as may be further described by these Terms, including, without
limitation, any services that enable, allow, or facilitate Users to: (a) manage the end-to-end
supply chain and logistics processes; and (b) connect and interact with other Users and/or Vendors and facilitate the automation of User/Vendor Transactions (defined below) (the
“Services”). Subject to these Terms, Grapevine shall make the Services available to User via
the Grapevine Platform. Grapevine reserves the right to suspend User’s access to the
Grapevine Platform and Services at any time User is in breach of these Terms or has threatened
to breach these Terms. These Terms may be changed, modified, amended, supplemented, or
otherwise updated from time to time by Grapevine without advance notice to User. By
continuing to use the Services, User agrees to be bound by any such updated Terms.
Grapevine, in its sole discretion, has the option, but not the obligation, to provide notice of any
update to these Terms by means of an alert, banner, or notification displayed within the
Services or the Grapevine Platform or by sending an email to the email address of User
provided to Grapevine. The Services and the Grapevine Platform and any features,
information, or content available therein, may be changed, withdrawn, or terminated at any
time in our sole discretion without notice to User. We will not be liable if, for any reason, all
or any part of the Services or the Grapevine Platform is restricted or unavailable at any time or
for any period. Subject to these Terms, Grapevine grants to User a non-exclusive and limited
right to access, view, and use Grapevine Data solely in connection with the Grapevine Platform
and User’s internal business operations as a Provider, but specifically excludes any sale, re-
sale, or commercial use of the Services or the products acquired through User’s use of the
Services or the Grapevine Platform. User may not publicly display, sell, lease, license or
otherwise share any Grapevine Data with any third party. There are no implied licenses granted
by Grapevine pursuant to these Terms. Any unauthorized use of Grapevine Data or use thereof
otherwise not in compliance with these Terms will result in immediate termination of the rights
granted herein.

2. Agency Agreement. In order to facilitate User’s purchases from Vendors, User hereby
appoints Grapevine as its purchasing agent to procure Products from such Vendors specified
by User. Grapevine hereby accepts the appointment as purchasing agent of User with respect
to the Products of such specified Vendors and agrees to procure Products from such Vendors
on behalf of User. Grapevine shall only use Product Data received from or on behalf of User
for such User’s own account, except to the extent that any such Product Data constitutes
Grapevine Data. User shall look solely to the Vendor for any associated warranties with
respect to Products, and Grapevine shall have no liability for the condition or fitness of any of
the Products purchased on behalf of User. Grapevine shall not be deemed the vendor of the
Products for any purpose. Additionally, Grapevine shall not be responsible or liable for the
unavailability of any Products or the failure of any manufacturer or vendor to timely deliver
any Products. On behalf of User, Grapevine shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:

  1. As requested by User through the Grapevine Platform, acquire reasonably available
    Product Data about the Products that User wishes to purchase, including, but not limited
    to, product descriptions, SKUs, price data, available quantities, and estimated delivery
    timelines, as necessary and appropriate;

  2. Submit orders for Products to Vendors only on the explicit instructions of User made
    through the Grapevine Platform; and

  3. Inform Vendors that the entity purchasing the Products is User and not Grapevine, and
    Grapevine shall ensure that any invoices for Products indicates that User is the
    purchaser.

3. Product Data; License. As User’s purchasing agent, Grapevine may establish accounts with
Vendors on behalf of and in the name of User and to utilize any of User’s rights granted to
User by such Vendors pursuant to any license, terms of use and/or service, or otherwise to
access such Vendor data to populate the Grapevine Platform with Product Data accessible only
to User. User hereby grants to Grapevine a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, perpetual,
fully paid-up, and royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from,
create compilations with, publish, share, sell, distribute, display and transmit Product Data for
Grapevine’s business purposes, which includes the right to aggregate, de-identify, summarize,
compare, and/or generalize Product Data, including with that data of other Providers or any
other relevant data, to create or so that it constitutes Grapevine Data. User acknowledges that
Grapevine shall have the right to make Grapevine Data available to Vendors and other Users
and Providers and in connection with the Services and the Grapevine Platform.

4. User/Supplier Transactions; User and Other User Interactions. All transactions between
User and Vendors, including purchases of medical supplies by User, originating out of, arising
from, or otherwise related to the Grapevine Platform (“User/Vendor Transactions”) shall be
in the name of, and between, User, on the one hand, and the respective Vendor, on the other
hand. Grapevine shall not be a party to any User/Vendor Transaction and shall not have any
liability with respect to any User/Vendor Transaction. Grapevine does not take title to or
assume any obligation or liability for any item, product, supply, or service purchased by User
or for any other obligation of either User or Vendor under or related to a User/Vendor
Transaction. User shall have the right to purchase supplies and services from vendors other
than those utilizing the Grapevine Platform. The Services and the Grapevine Platform may
provide the ability for User to interact with other Users, Vendors and/or other users. By using
the Services and the Grapevine Platform, User acknowledge that it is solely responsible for its
interactions with other Users, Vendors or other users. User acknowledges that Grapevine does
not attempt to verify the identity of any user or visitor of the Grapevine Platform or use of the
Services. In addition, Grapevine does not attempt to verify the veracity of any message, claim,
communication, or Product Data by any User and/or other users of the Grapevine Platform or
the Services. User is solely responsible for taking any precautions it deems necessary or proper
in all interactions with other Users and/or non-registered users, particularly if User decides to
communicate off the Grapevine Platform or outside of the Services.

5. PHI. User warrants to Grapevine and shall ensure that no Product Data contains Protected

Accountability Act of 1996, as it may be amended, including all regulations promulgated
thereunder (“HIPAA”).

response to actual or suspected violations of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the
suspension or termination of User’s access and/or its account (including, without limitation,
any User account which you may have created). User acknowledges that Grapevine engages

time. User shall at all times use the Grapevine Platform in accordance with such vendors’
acceptable use policy as may be made available by Grapevine to User from time to time
(“AUP”), and the AUP is incorporated into these Terms in its entirety as if fully set forth
herein. As of the date of these Terms, Grapevine’s hosting provider is [Amazon Web
Services], and User shall comply with [AWS’s] AUP found at [https://aws.amazon.com/aup/.]
User acknowledges that the current vendor’s AUP may change from time to time, and that it
is User’s responsibility to check the current vendor’s AUP regularly to ensure its continued
compliance. Grapevine may cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the
investigation of any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrong. Except as may be expressly
limited by our Privacy Policy and incorporated into these Terms by this reference, Grapevine
reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as Grapevine deems necessary to
satisfy Applicable Laws, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials,

These sites are not under the control of Grapevine. In addition, third-party sites may contain
links to the Grapevine Platform. Grapevine is not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations or warranties concerning, the content or material of any such third-party sites.
The fact that the Grapevine or the Services contain a link to any third-party site, or that a third-
party site has provided a link to the Grapevine Platform, does not constitute an endorsement,
authorization, sponsorship, or affiliation between Grapevine and such third-party site’s
owners, operators, or maintainers. User acknowledges that any services, content, material, or
information provided through such third-party sites are accessed at its own risk. Grapevine is
not responsible or liable for, and makes no representations or warranties with respect to, any
particular information, software, products, services, or content found on any linked third-party
sites, including, without limitation, the appropriateness of any products, services, or
transactions described therein.

and User agrees not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions
thereof using User’s username, password, or other security information other than User’s

imposition of any such Fees.

algorithms, user interfaces, know-how, techniques, designs and other tangible or intangible
technical material or information) and the content therein (other than Product Data) as made
available to User under these Terms and as may be updated and modified by Grapevine from

all data and information or compilations thereof resulting from Grapevine’s permitted use of
Grapevine Data including any and all Intellectual property Rights arising from and related to
the foregoing, and further including all copies, portions and derivative works of any of the
foregoing (by whomever created). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, User
and/or its respective license or rights holders, including, without limitation, its Vendors, shall
at all times retain sole ownership of its original Product Data. To the extent any of Grapevine’s
derivative works, compilations (i.e., Grapevine Data) includes Product Data or any Product
Data is made a part of such derivative works, compilations or Grapevine Data, User
acknowledges and agrees that Grapevine may continue to use such Product Data in accordance
with the license in Section 2 above both during and after the expiration or termination of these

the copyrighted work), trade secrets, moral rights, right of publicity, right of privacy, authors’
rights, contract and licensing rights, goodwill and all other intellectual property rights as may
exist now or hereafter come into existence and all renewals and extensions thereof, regardless
of whether those rights arise under the laws of the United States or any other state, country or
jurisdiction throughout the world. “Feedback” means all suggestions for improvement or
enhancement, recommendations, comments, opinions, code, input, ideas, reports, information,
know-how or other feedback provided by User (whether in oral, electronic, or written form) to
Grapevine for the Grapevine Platform and/or Services. Feedback includes no data, results or
output created or generated by User using the Services, including Product Data, unless
specifically submitted or communicated by User to Grapevine as part of the Feedback.


11. Confidentiality. User (and User’s agents, employees and representatives) shall keep
confidential Grapevine’s Confidential Information, shall not use such Confidential Information
for any purpose other than to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations hereunder, and shall
not disclose such Confidential Information to any third parties other than Grapevine or User’s
employees and representatives with a need to know (who have been made aware of this
provision by User and agree to comply with it or confidentiality restrictions at least as
protective as those of this Section). User agrees that it shall remain liable for any employee or
other third party to whom it discloses Grapevine’s Confidential Information. User shall also
use the same degree of care to protect Grapevine’s Confidential Information as User uses to
protect its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than a
reasonable degree of care. All such Confidential Information remains the sole and exclusive
property of Grapevine. Promptly upon Grapevine’s request and automatically upon
termination or expiration of this Agreement, User will, at Grapevine’s direction, either return
to Grapevine or permanently destroy all such Confidential Information to Grapevine, including
all copies and extracts thereof. If Grapevine directs User to destroy any such Confidential
Information, User will, within five (5) days of such destruction, certify to Grapevine in writing
that destruction of such materials was carried out. User’s obligation to maintain the
confidentiality of such information shall remain in effect continuously throughout the term of
this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (except with respect to trade secrets
which confidentiality obligations will survive for so long as the same remain trade secrets
under applicable law). Upon discovery of any improper disclosure or use of Grapevine’s
Confidential Information, User will promptly notify Grapevine. In the event User is subject to
applicable open records laws (such as a federal, state or municipal agency) or any other
applicable law or court order which may require User to release Confidential Information of
Grapevine, User agrees to notify Grapevine of any such request for the release of such
Confidential Information reasonably prior to making such release. Further, User shall
cooperate in good faith with Grapevine and use its best efforts to assist Grapevine in preventing
or restricting the release of such Confidential Information to the extent consistent with
applicable law. For purposes of the Agreement “Confidential Information” means all
information or material that has been or may be disclosed or made available by Grapevine to
User, including, without limitation, the Grapevine Platform, Grapevine Data, and any
information relating to Grapevine’s business plans, intellectual property rights, trade secrets,
processes, formulas, formulations, software, data, know-how, improvements, inventions,
techniques, methods, designs, products, services, product development plans, marketing plans,
manufacturing plans, business strategies, customer lists, projections or other ideas or information, in each case whether disclosed in writing, orally, graphically, visually or through
electronic means and whether or not marked “confidential” or “proprietary.” Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not be information which: (i) has entered the
public domain through no action or failure to act of User; (ii) prior to disclosure hereunder was
already lawfully in User’s possession without any obligation of confidentiality; (iii) subsequent
to disclosure hereunder is obtained by User on a non-confidential basis from a third party who
has the right to disclose such information to User, or (iv) constitutes Product Data.

LIMIT). ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
USER’S USE OF THE SERVICES OR THE GRAPEVINE PLATFORM OR OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH USER, REGARDLESS OF THEORY, MUST BE BROUGHT
WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO
THE CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION OR BE FOREVER BARRED.


15. Termination; Survival. If either party materially breaches any term or condition of these
Terms, and if such breach has not been cured by the breaching party within thirty (30) days
after its receipt of notice of such breach, the non-breaching party may immediately terminate
these Terms. Grapevine may terminate these Terms immediately upon notice if User becomes
the subject of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or any voluntary proceeding relating to
insolvency, receivership, liquidation or composition for the benefit of creditors, or User
becomes the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or any involuntary proceeding
relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or composition for the benefit of creditors, and
such petition or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days of filing. Upon termination
of these Terms, all access, rights and licenses granted to User hereunder shall terminate, User
will cease all use of the Services, and User shall destroy any Confidential Information (as
defined herein) received from Grapevine and/or related to access or use of the Services. All
provisions of this Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive the termination or
expiration of this Agreement shall so survive and remain in effect, including, without
limitation, Sections 3–16.


16. Miscellaneous.


a. Notice. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted
to be given under these Terms shall be given via the Site or via any contact information
given by you in connection with creation of a Registered User account.


b. Entire Agreement; Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. These Terms and any additional policies or
terms referenced herein or hereinafter created, all of which are incorporated herein by this reference, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersede any prior negotiations, understandings, or agreements. If any
action or proceeding is initiated to enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
party prevailing in said action will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and
costs.


c. Assignment. You may not assign your rights or delegate its obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Grapevine, and any attempted assignment
or delegation without such consent will be void and of no effect. Grapevine may assign or
otherwise transfer its interest or any part thereof under this Agreement to another party
without your consent.


d. Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. You hereby and irrevocably agree that
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be brought and
determined in the appropriate state or federal courts in New York (and each such Party
shall not bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms in any
court other than the foregoing courts), and each Party hereto hereby irrevocably submits
with regard to any such action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of the foregoing
courts. Notwithstanding any choice of law provision or otherwise, the Uniform Computer
Information Transactions Act (UCITA) and the United Nations Convention on the
International Sale of Goods shall not apply.


e. Non-Waiver; Breach. Any waiver of any term and condition hereof by User must be in
writing and signed by Grapevine. Grapevine’s neglect or failure in any case or
circumstance to require performance of its obligations or to enforce its rights in the event
of a breach by User will not affect Grapevine’s right to enforce such rights and obligations
in any other case or circumstance. A waiver of any individual term or condition will not
be construed as a waiver of any other term or condition nor, unless so provided in such
written waiver, of the term or condition thereby waived in the event of a future or
continuing breach by User, except in the particular circumstances in or for which such
waiver was provided.


f. Severability. In the event any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable for any reason and in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall in no event affect, prejudice, or disturb the validity of the remainder
of these Terms, which shall be and remain in full force and effect.


g. Equitable Remedies. User acknowledges that a breach of these Terms could cause
irreparable harm to Grapevine for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. If any
such breach occurs or is threatened, Grapevine will be entitled to seek an injunction, a
restraining order, or any other equitable remedy, which will not be deemed to be the
exclusive remedies for a breach of these Terms, but rather will be in addition to all other
remedies available at law or in equity to Grapevine. Grapevine would not need to post a
bond or other security or provide proof of actual damages.

 

h. Use of Name. Grapevine may use your name and logo in advertising, publicity, or
otherwise publicize the fact that you are a user of the Services. Further, you agree to be a
reference to prospective users of the Services, attend end customer meetups and
conferences and other events, participate in mutually agreed press releases, and participate
in a video and/or written case study and white paper regarding your use of the Software.


i. Force Majeure. Grapevine will not be in default or otherwise liable for any delay in or
failure of its performance under these Terms if such delay or failure arises by any reason
beyond its reasonable control, including due to failure or delay of infrastructure, acts of
nature, acts of war or terrorism, government guidance or mandates, failure or delay of third
party products or services, and the effects of epidemics or pandemics.
