Direct Primary Share Terms of Service

Welcome to Direct Primary Share! These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) governs any access and use by you and/or the entity or person on whose behalf you are accepting these Terms (“you”) of Direct Primary Share, Inc.’s (“Direct Primary Share”, “we” or “us”) online service for direct care providers and any related software or services (the “Direct Primary Share Service”) made generally available by Direct Primary Share through a web application on our website, www.directprimaryshare.com, and any corresponding sites or mobile applications (collectively, the “Site”). You may not use the Services without agreeing to these Terms of Service.

By accessing or using the Site or the Direct Primary Share Service, you acknowledge and agree that you’ve read, understood, and accept these Terms of Service and agree to be bound by it.

For some customers, these Terms of Service may be incorporated into another agreement you have with us, such as an enterprise master services agreement (“MSA”). If this applies to you, then in the event of a conflict between these Terms of Service and the MSA, the MSA will govern.

The Direct Primary Share Service is a software-as-a-service or “SaaS” offering, which means that our software is delivered through our Site and is not locally installed on your devices. This allows us to offer the Direct Primary Share Service to you efficiently and effectively through our Site, but it also requires that we do not allow for modification or deviation from these Terms of Service on a per customer basis. Please contact us at info@directprimaryshare.com if you have any questions.

Please read these terms CAREFULLY, as they may have changed! We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. In the event of a material change, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms of Service on this page. You may also be notified via the contact information you provided to us, or upon your next log-in to the Direct Primary Share Service. The updated Terms of Service will be effective thirty (30) days after such notice, and your continued use of the Direct Primary Share Service after you have been notified of the updated Terms of Service will constitute your acceptance of the updated Terms of Service (unless a longer notice period is required by Applicable Law, as defined below); provided, however, that if you provide Direct Primary Share with written rejection of the updated Terms of Service within the thirty day notice period, the binding terms in effect between you and Direct Primary Share prior to beginning of the notice period will continue to be in full force and effect unless terminated according to their terms.
