Introduction

 

Healthtech Pivot Limited Liability Partnership, a limited liability partnership, bearing registration number AAI-9300 incorporated under the laws of India and having its registered office at 702A, Sai Sanskar Soc, Sion Trombay Road, Deonar Mumbai – 400088, Maharashtra (“Healthtech”) owns and operates a website (“Website”) and mobile based application (“Mobile App”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Applications”) which can track Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) tags to facilitate workflow automation in hospitals (“Clients”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Pivot Smartflow”).

 

Use of Pivot Smartflow by Clients may result in reducing cost, increasing efficiency, improving traceability of inventory by allowing Users to introduce unique device identification for instruments, tracking workflow easily and cost-effectively, gathering accurate and real-time data on User’s instruments.

 

All Users of the Applications are advised to carefully read and understand these terms and conditions (“Terms of Use”). By using or accessing Pivot Smartflow, a User agrees to be bound by the Terms of Use.           

 

For the purpose of these Terms of Use, wherever the context so requires, “you” or “User(s)” shall mean the Client and shall include any natural or legal person or System Administrator (as defined hereinafter) who use(s) or access(es) Pivot Smartflow. The terms “we”, “us”, “our” shall mean Healthtech. Healthtech and Client are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties” in these Terms of Use.                                                                           

 

Client’s access or use of Pivot Smartflow implies its acceptance of the Terms of Use, as amended from time to time, and constitutes an agreement between Client and Healthtech for use of Pivot Smartflow.

 

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, limit or discontinue any aspect, content or feature of Applications as well as any aspect pertaining to the use of Applications. Further, we also reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms of Use, at any time, without any prior notice to Client.  Please review these Terms of Use for updates / changes at regular intervals.  Continued use of Applications following the posting of changes will mean that Client accepts and agrees to all such revisions. As long as Client complies with these Terms of Use, we grant it a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited privilege to access and use the Applications.

 

User Account and Registration Obligations

 

The Client will nominate a natural person who will be responsible for administering and managing other Users when we set up a new Client for using or accessing Pivot Smartflow (“System Administrator”). The System Administrator will have to register on the Website by providing a unique username and password in line with the prescribed instructions and requirements to use or access Applications. Only a System Administrator can register persons as Users or remove Users at any point of time. The System Administrator will generate and allocate login credentials to Users, after which the Users can access Website. The Users may reset their password as per their requirements. The Users can also access Pivot Smartflow by downloading the Mobile App from the secure link provided by us and agreeing to Terms of Use.

 

Client acknowledges that it would be ultimately responsible for any action, omission or other lawful or unlawful activity by the System Administrator appointed by it and any subsequent Users included or added by the System Administrator. The User further acknowledges that irrespective of its usage of the Pivot Smartflow and its privity with Healthtech by way of this Terms of Use, Client shall be the sole person legally and contractually entitled to raise any disputes or other concerns with Healthtech and Healthtech owes no responsibility whatsoever, to any other User, other than the Client, subject to the Terms of Use. The Client shall remain solely liable to indemnify Healthtech for any loss incurred by Healthtech due to any act, omission or negligence of Client or other Users accessing the Pivot Smartflow via the Client, while using the Pivot Smartflow.
