Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the San Diego HIPAA Compliance website and services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our services.

These terms apply to all visitors, users, and clients of San Diego HIPAA Compliance services, including those who access our website, request assessments, or engage our consulting services.

2. Services Description

San Diego HIPAA Compliance provides HIPAA compliance consulting, risk assessments, training, and related services to healthcare providers and organizations in San Diego County and surrounding areas.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of our services at any time without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of our services without notice or liability.

3. Professional Services

Our HIPAA compliance services are provided for informational and consulting purposes. While we strive to provide accurate and current information, HIPAA regulations are subject to change and interpretation.

Clients are responsible for implementing recommended changes and maintaining ongoing compliance with HIPAA regulations. Our services do not constitute legal advice, and clients should consult with qualified legal counsel for legal matters.

We do not guarantee that following our recommendations will prevent all compliance violations or security breaches, as ultimate responsibility for HIPAA compliance rests with the covered entity or business associate.

4. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information for assessments and services
• Implement recommended security and compliance measures in a timely manner
• Maintain ongoing compliance with HIPAA regulations
• Notify us of any significant changes to their operations or security posture
• Participate in required training and documentation activities
• Pay for services according to agreed-upon terms

5. Confidentiality

We treat all client information as confidential and maintain appropriate safeguards to protect client data. We will not disclose client information to third parties except as required by law or with explicit client consent.

Clients acknowledge that we may use anonymized, aggregate information for industry research, benchmarking, and improving our services, provided such use does not identify specific clients or violate confidentiality obligations.

6. Payment Terms

Service fees are outlined in individual engagement agreements or proposals. Payment is due according to the terms specified in such agreements, typically within 30 days of invoice date.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate services for non-payment. Clients remain responsible for all fees incurred prior to termination.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, San Diego HIPAA Compliance shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or business opportunities, arising from or related to our services.

Our total liability for any claim arising from our services shall not exceed the amount paid by the client for services in the twelve months preceding the claim.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on our website and in our materials, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is the property of San Diego HIPAA Compliance and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

Clients receive a limited, non-exclusive license to use materials provided as part of our services for their internal compliance purposes. Materials may not be reproduced, distributed, or sold without our written permission.

9. Termination

Either party may terminate services by providing 30 days written notice. We may terminate services immediately for non-payment, breach of these terms, or if we determine that continuing services would be unlawful or unethical.

Upon termination, clients remain responsible for payment of services rendered through the termination date. We will return or destroy client confidential information as requested.

10. Governing Law

These Terms of Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any disputes arising from these terms or our services shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California. Both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

We will notify clients of material changes to these terms via email or through our website.
