Business Associate Data Access Addendum
This Business Associate Data Access Addendum ("Addendum") is incorporated into and forms part of the Sikka API License Agreement Terms and Conditions, including any applicable Order Form, between Sikka Software Corporation ("Sikka") and Licensee. This Addendum applies only to the extent Licensee accesses, receives, creates, maintains, or transmits PHI through the Sikka API.
1. Definitions
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Addendum have the meanings given to them in the API License Agreement or HIPAA.
"Authorized Purpose" means the specific purpose for which the applicable Covered Entity has authorized Licensee to access or use PHI through the Sikka API.
"Covered Entity" means a healthcare provider, health plan, healthcare clearinghouse, or other entity that has authorized Licensee to access PHI through the Sikka API.
"HIPAA" means the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the HITECH Act, and their implementing regulations, as amended.
"Licensee's CE BAA" means the business associate agreement between Licensee and the applicable Covered Entity authorizing Licensee to access or use PHI.
"PHI" means protected health information, as defined under HIPAA, that is made available to Licensee through the Sikka API.
"Sikka's CE BAA" means the business associate agreement between Sikka and the applicable Covered Entity authorizing Sikka to make PHI available through the Sikka API.
"Unsecured PHI" has the meaning given to that term under HIPAA.
2. Independent Business Associate Relationship
Sikka and Licensee are independent Business Associates. Nothing in this Addendum makes either party a subcontractor, agent, employee, or representative of the other. Each party is independently responsible for its own obligations under HIPAA, its applicable business associate agreements, and applicable law.
Licensee's access to PHI through the Sikka API is conditioned on the applicable Covered Entity's authorization, Licensee's CE BAA, and Sikka's confirmation of enrollment for that Covered Entity.
This Addendum does not replace, amend, or satisfy either party's separate business associate agreement with any Covered Entity. Each party remains solely responsible for maintaining its own applicable Covered Entity authorization and business associate agreement.
3. Licensee Obligations
Licensee shall:
Licensee may de-identify PHI only to the extent permitted by HIPAA, Licensee's CE BAA, and the applicable Covered Entity's authorization. Properly de-identified information is not PHI under this Addendum.
4. Reporting and Mitigation
Licensee shall notify Sikka without unreasonable delay, and in any event within five days after discovery, of any unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI, Breach of Unsecured PHI, or security incident involving PHI accessed through the Sikka API.
Licensee shall also notify the applicable Covered Entity as required by HIPAA, Licensee's CE BAA, and applicable law.
Licensee shall mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect known to Licensee resulting from any unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI by Licensee, its subcontractors, or its agents.
Notice is deemed provided for routine unsuccessful security events, such as pings, port scans, failed login attempts, denial-of-service attempts, and similar unsuccessful attacks, unless notice is required by HIPAA or applicable law.
5. Sikka Obligations
Sikka shall:
6. Suspension or Revocation of Access
Sikka may suspend or terminate Licensee's access to PHI for a Covered Entity if:
Sikka will provide reasonable notice of suspension or termination unless immediate action is required to protect PHI, comply with law, or comply with Sikka's obligations to the applicable Covered Entity.
7. Effect of Termination
Upon termination or expiration of the API License Agreement, Licensee's access to PHI through the Sikka API will terminate.
Licensee shall return or destroy all PHI received through the Sikka API, including PHI held by Licensee's subcontractors or agents, in accordance with the API License Agreement, Licensee's CE BAA, and applicable law. Licensee shall retain no copies of such PHI except to the extent return or destruction is infeasible or retention is required by law.
If return or destruction is infeasible or retention is required by law, Licensee shall continue to protect such PHI under this Addendum and limit further uses and disclosures to the purposes that make return, destruction, or retention infeasible or legally required.
8. Documentation
Upon Sikka's reasonable request, Licensee shall provide documentation reasonably sufficient to verify Licensee's compliance with this Addendum, including evidence of Licensee's CE BAA, Covered Entity authorization, relevant security certifications or summaries, and remediation records relating to any Breach or security incident involving PHI accessed through the Sikka API.
9. Indemnification
Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sikka and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, and agents from and against all claims, damages, losses, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to:
10. Conflicts; Survival; Interpretation
If this Addendum conflicts with the API License Agreement with respect to PHI, HIPAA, or privacy or security obligations involving PHI, this Addendum controls. In all other respects, the API License Agreement controls.
The obligations that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including obligations relating to PHI protection, return or destruction of PHI, restricted use and disclosure, documentation, indemnification, and interpretation.
Any ambiguity in this Addendum will be interpreted to permit the parties to comply with HIPAA and applicable law.
