Confidentiality

Global Office Software represents and warrants that the performance of Services under this Agreement shall not breach any agreement between Global Office Software and unrelated third parties to keep such parties proprietary information confidential.

Data Protection Agreements

Global Office Software recognizes that Subscribers may be subject to various data protection regulations depending on their location. To ensure compliance with these regulations, Global Office Software offers the following agreements:

  • HIPAA: If your organization is subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Juvonno will, upon request, enter into a standard Business Associate Agreement ("BAA") with you.

In addition to the above, if other applicable data protection legislation, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and the Personal Health Information Protection Act ("PHIPA"), require a data controller to enter into a written contract with a service provider, Global Office Software will, upon request, enter into an agreement consistent with the requirements of such legislation. In the absence of a specific agreement, these Terms of Service will serve as a legal and written agreement between you, the Subscriber, and Global Office Software, provided that such Terms are sufficient to comply with the relevant data protection legislation.

Use of information

Global Office Software shall only use the Confidential Information in connection with performing Services hereunder and shall at all times observe complete confidentiality with regard to the Confidential Information. No Global Office Software employee or subcontractor will have access to any Subscriber computer system or data without having received a PHIA orientation and having signed the Subscriber’s Pledge of Confidentiality.

Disclosure of information

Global Office Software shall not permit or authorize access to or disclosure of the Confidential Information to any other person other than Global Office Software’s employees who have a need-to-know and who have executed confidentiality agreements with Global Office Software obligating them to comply with the provisions that are set forth herein.

Recognition of the value of information

Global Office Software understands and agrees that any information that it learns or has access to in connection with providing Services hereunder that is proprietary to Subscriber, or is marked Confidential, constitutes valuable intellectual property and trade secrets of Subscriber and/or other parties to whom Subscriber owes an obligation of non-disclosure (Confidential Information).

Acknowledgement of damage due to leakage

Global Office Software acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information will (a) substantially diminish the value of the trade secrets and other proprietary rights contained in the Confidential Information; (b) render Subscriber’s remedy at law for such unauthorized use or disclosure inadequate; and (c) cause irreparable injury in a short period of time.
