other user at any time. While your Consent is in effect, an approved user may only view any health
record you have designated for his or her access. If you revoke your Consent, the approved user
will continue to have the ability to view the health record in the form in which it existed at the time
you revoked your Consent, but will not be able to view changes made to the record thereafter. The
same rules apply to your use of another user’s record who approves access by you. You and your
Workforce are fully responsible for the information in any chart that you share. You or your
Workforce should not share patient information that violates any state or federal laws. In any
event, but especially in cases of potential fraud, misuse or abuse of the Service, we reserve the

feature that allows users to contact other users directly through the Service. Our Public Client
Directory may be made available to public search engines to aid Client discovery. Listing in the

associated specialties, Client’s business telephone number(s) and physical address(es), National

Assessment Resources or displaying their advertisements. In connection with offering or operating
such Support and Assessment Resources or delivering advertising, we may share personally

pending your cure of any breach of these TOS, or in the event we determine in our sole discretion
that access to or use of the Service by you or the member of your Workforce may jeopardize the
Service or the confidentiality, privacy, security, integrity or availability of information within the
Service, or that you or the member of your Workforce has violated or may violate these TOS or our
Policies and Procedures, or has jeopardized or may jeopardize the rights of any third party, or that
any person is or may be making unauthorized use of the Service with any Credentials assigned to
you or a member of your Workforce. We may terminate the access of any member of your

you as the Service provided by UDT Software, LLC any person employed by UDT Software at any
time during the term of the Service Agreement whose duties involve providing the Service, whether
for yourself or other UDT Software customers. In addition to equitable remedies, you acknowledge
and agree that actual damages in the event of a breach of this Section 17 are difficult to ascertain
at present. You have reviewed and found the amount of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
to be a reasonable estimate of damages UDT Software would incur if you breach this Section 17.
You have reviewed and will not challenge this amount as unreasonable, and you agree that you will
not contest an order entering a judgment in this amount without delay and that you will not present
any defenses or counterclaims.
