6.3 No Business Associate Relationship. You understand and acknowledge that we will not create, receive, maintain or transmit PHI on your behalf, and therefore we are not a “business associate” or “subcontractor,” as such terms are defined under the HIPAA Rules. If you are a covered entity, business associate, representative of a covered entity or business associate, or a subcontractor, as such terms are defined under the HIPAA Rules, or are otherwise an entity providing health care services, you will not use the App or any other Frontier Offerings in any manner that would make us a business associate or otherwise directly subject us to the HIPAA Rules or other applicable health care privacy laws.

You will be solely responsible for: (i) all Device File Data entered into the data fields and stored on your Devices; (ii) deciding whether to enter any Sensitive Information into these data fields of the App; and (iii) complying with all Applicable Laws when entering Device File Data (and any Sensitive Information therein) into the data fields of the App.
6.6 Barcodes. The App generates a Barcode within each Label Image. You understand and acknowledge that: (a) the Barcode incorporates or codifies the Device File Data, which may include any Sensitive Information you have input into Devices through use of the App; (b) the Barcode can be read by commercially-available scanners; and (c) any person having access to a Label Image or Label could possibly access the Sensitive Information in the Barcode using a commercially-available scanner. You will be solely responsible for: (i) entering any Sensitive Information into the App, knowing the App will generate a Barcode that incorporates such Sensitive Information; and (ii) complying with all Applicable Laws when using and distributing Barcodes as part of Labels.
6.7 Your Responsibility to Comply with Applicable Laws.

You hereby confirm, represent and warrant that, before you enter any Participant’s Sensitive Information into the App, any Label Image or any Label, you have completed all of the steps necessary to perform such acts in compliance with all Applicable Laws.
6.8 Responsibility for Others. If you permit another person to use the App on any Device, you will be fully responsible for the person’s conduct as if the person’s conduct were yours.
