TERMS & CONDITIONS OF USE

Last Updated: September 23, 2022

Exact Sciences Corporation, a Delaware corporation (collectively with all of its subsidiaries, “Exact Sciences,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) offers this website, including its content and site functionality (the “Website”) to you (the “user” or “you”), subject to and conditioned on your acceptance of the Terms of Use set forth below, including our Privacy Policy (collectively, this “Agreement”).

By registering for and/or accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Agreement. Exact Sciences may, in its sole discretion, revise this Agreement from time to time by updating these Terms and Conditions of Use or the Privacy Policy, with the revised terms taking effect on the date of posting. Your continued use of the Website after the posting of such revisions constitutes your acceptance of the revised version of this Agreement. You should review this Agreement every time you use the website, as this Agreement is a legal contract binding on you. IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. Additional services identified on or available through Exact Sciences may be subject to additional terms separate from this Agreement.

 YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE

Eligibility

Exact Sciences provides this Website for use only by persons located within the United States. Exact Sciences makes no representation that the Website or its content is appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States.

YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT EXACT SCIENCES IS NOT A MEDICAL PRACTICE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SEEK DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND ADVICE FROM QUALIFIED PROVIDERS BASED ON YOUR CONDITION AND PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

You may use the Website for personal, noncommercial and lawful purposes. You may not exploit any aspect of the Website for any commercial purpose without prior written and signed authorization from Exact Sciences. You must comply with all state, local, national and international laws, rules and regulations that apply to the Website, your use of the Website, and any products or services you learn about on the Website or access through the Website.

Physician Portals

This Agreement shall apply to all Exact Sciences physician portals, including any features and services available via such portals (each physician portal, a “Portal”; collectively, the “Portals”). All references to the Website in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the Portals.

We intend for the Portals to be used only by qualified healthcare professionals (for purposes of this section of the Agreement, “you” and “Physicians”). Where allowed by applicable law and this Agreement, you may designate individuals to use the Portals on your behalf (each, a “Delegate”). You must comply with this Agreement when appointing a Delegate. Only Physicians and Delegates (collectively, “Authorized Users”) may access the Portals.

The Portals allow Authorized Users to order certain tests, procedures, or services and to access patient information, laboratory test results, relevant documentation, and other information. We may modify or discontinue any aspect of the Portals at any time and without notice.

AUTHORIZED USER RESPONSIBILITIES

You understand and agree that when you use the Portals you will have access to confidential, sensitive and personal information. It is your responsibility to comply with all international, federal, state, and local laws, regulations, directives, and guidance applicable to that information. In the U.S., applicable law includes the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009, (collectively, “HIPAA”) and in the European Union, applicable law includes the EU General Data Protection Regulation. It is your responsibility to obtain any consents necessary to provide a patient’s personal or health-related information to us.

KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT AND INFORMATION SECURE

You will use a unique username and password to access the Portal. You are responsible for keeping your username and password confidential. You are also responsible for all uses of your account, including if performed by a Delegate – even if that Delegate is not considered an Authorized User. To maintain account security, we recommend that you change your password regularly and when you have any reason to believe that your password has been compromised. You must immediately notify us of any unauthorized access to your account, or if you suspect your account has been compromised. We will not manage or have access to your password, so we will not be able to retrieve it for you if you misplace it.
 
You agree that you are responsible for any misuse of your account, even if you are unaware of the misuse. You may also be liable to us or third parties for any misuse of the Portals through your account, including liability that arises under HIPAA and other applicable law. You must not use anyone else’s account unless you have his or her permission. You must not provide your password to anyone else, including any representative of Exact Sciences.
 
You agree that you are responsible for any further uses you make of the information accessed through the Portals.  For example, if you download, reproduce, or transfer such information to third parties, you are responsible for doing so responsibly and in a secure manner, and in compliance with your obligations under HIPAA and other applicable laws. 

PROPERLY AUTHORIZE DELEGATES
 You may authorize Delegates to access and use the Portals on your behalf. To authorize a Delegate, you must first ensure that your use of a Delegate is permitted under applicable law (which you agree is your responsibility to determine). If legally permitted, once you have selected a Delegate, you must notify us of your selection and complete any required paperwork. We will provide unique login information for your Delegate, which he or she may use only if the Delegate accepts this Agreement. You shall not provide the Delegate with your access credentials or login information.

PROPERLY RESTRICT DELEGATE’S USE OF THE PORTAL AND SERVICES
 By permitting a Delegate to access a Portal on your behalf, you agree that each Delegate:
 •  is currently employed by or under contract with you, or works for another member of the patient's clinical healthcare team;
 • has your personal authorization to access such Portal;
 • is accessing or providing information only as directed and instructed by you and consistent with the patient's express consent;
 • will use and disclose the test results and other information obtained through such Portal in compliance with applicable laws and policies; and
 • is accessing such Portal in an authorized manner and using his/her own unique account and credentials.
You are responsible for obtaining guidance regarding compliance with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction. We may refuse any test requisitions or submissions of Delegates that we believe may be illegal or improper at our sole discretion.

 
PROPERLY MONITOR DELEGATES’ USE OF THE SERVICES
 Because you are liable for the actions of your Delegates, you agree to ensure your Delegates have appropriate rights of access for the intended use of the Portals. You agree to document your laboratory test orders or other services in the patient’s medical file, even if a Delegate entered the order. We consider patient information we deliver to your Delegate to be delivered to you. Therefore, if you suspend or terminate your relationship with a Delegate or if you wish to suspend or terminate a Delegate’s authority to access a Portal on your behalf, you agree to inform us immediately.


DO NOT MISUSE PERSONAL OR PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OF OTHERS
 Protected health and personal information provided through the Services, such as test reports, patient information, and test requisition forms, may be used and distributed only for purposes of treatment, payment, or relevant healthcare operations.
