Anatomy, acting as a third-party service provider of Bank, facilitates Bank services for Customer through the Services and Anatomy Technology, but does not otherwise hold deposits on behalf of Customer.  As a Bank customer, your Bank deposits are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per depositor, for each account ownership category.

3.2 Bank Accounts

  1. When you access the Services, you may be presented with the opportunity to open one or more bank accounts with the Bank (collectively, “Bank Accounts”) through the Anatomy Technology. If you elect to establish Bank Accounts and are subsequently approved to open Bank Accounts, such Bank Accounts will be opened at the Bank and not at Anatomy. Anatomy is a financial technology services provider and not a bank. Funds deposited to Bank Account are deposits at the Bank facilitated by the Services through methods allowed by the Bank.  Funds are deposited directly with the Bank and are held in bank accounts established at the Bank. Other bank services may be made available by Bank from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion.

Customer hereby authorizes Anatomy, Bank, and/or a third-party service provider that we designate, to take any measures that we consider necessary to confirm the personal information provided and to verify and authenticate such personal information, and take any action we deem necessary based on the results. This process may result in a delay in establishing Bank Account(s) or access to the Services, and Customer may not be authorized to access or use Bank Account(s) or the Services until information has been successfully verified. Each of you and Customer agree that the information you provide to Anatomy is accurate, complete, and not misleading, and that Customer will keep such information accurate and up to date at all times

  2. Subject to Section 18.3(a) hereof, each party may commence arbitration by providing to the American Arbitration Association and the other party to the dispute a written demand for arbitration, stating the subject of the dispute and the relief requested.
  3. Subject to the disclaimers and limitations of liability stated in this Agreement, the appointed arbitrators may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by the laws of the State of California. In deciding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term of this Agreement. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned, written decision with respect to the dispute to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the arbitrator’s decision. Any award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed in or enforced by a state or federal court located in San Francisco, California. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties and will not be subject to appeal or review.
  4. In accordance with the AAA Rules, the party initiating the arbitration is responsible for paying the applicable filing fee. Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the arbitration reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the arbitrator will award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with those aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and legal fees awards will be offset.

18.4 Confidentiality The parties will keep confidential the existence of the arbitration, the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and the arbitrator’s decision, except (a) as necessary to prepare for and conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits; (b) in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an arbitrator’s decision or its enforcement; (c) Anatomy may disclose the arbitrator’s decision in confidential settlement negotiations; (d) each party may disclose as necessary to professional advisors that are subject to a strict duty of confidentiality; and (e) as applicable law otherwise requires. The parties, witnesses, and arbitrator will treat as confidential and will not disclose to any third person (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration, except as required by applicable law or if the evidence was obtained from the public domain or was otherwise obtained independently from the arbitration.

18.5 Conflict of Rules. In the case of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 18 and the AAA Rules, the provisions of this Section 18 will prevail.

18.6 Class Waiver. To the extent applicable law permits, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the AAA Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither party is entitled to arbitration.

18.7 No Jury Trial. If for any reason a claim or dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated between the parties.

Addendum to Terms of Service

HIPAA BUSINESS ASSOCIATE AGREEMENT

This Business Associate Agreement, effective as of the date of acceptance of terms (“BAA”), is between Customer (“Covered Entity”) and Anatomy Financial, Inc. and its affiliates, successors and assigns (“Business Associate”).

Business Associate and Covered Entity have entered into Terms of Service. In connection with Business Associate's services, Business Associate and Covered Entity anticipate that Business Associate will create or receive Protected Health Information from and/or on behalf of Covered Entity, which information is subject to protection under the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-191, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, Title XIII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “HITECH Act”), and related regulations promulgated by the Secretary (together “HIPAA”).

In light of the foregoing and the requirements of HIPAA, Business Associate and Covered Entity agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions.

The parties agree as follows:

1. Definitions.

  1. Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this BAA shall have the same meaning given to those terms by HIPAA as in effect or as amended from time to time.
  2. “Services Agreement” shall mean any present or future agreements, either written or oral, between Covered Entity and Business Associate under which Business Associate provides services to Covered Entity which involve the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information.

2. Obligations and Activities of Business Associate.

a. Use and Disclosure. If Protected Health Information is created by or disclosed to Business Associate, Business Associate agrees not to use or disclose Protected Health Information other than as permitted or required by the Services Agreement, this BAA or as Required by Law. Business Associate shall comply with the provisions of this BAA relating to privacy and security of Protected Health Information and all present and future provisions of HIPAA that relate to the privacy and security of Protected Health Information and that are applicable to “business associates,” as that term is defined in HIPAA.

b. Appropriate Safeguards. Business Associate agrees to use appropriate safeguards to prevent the use or disclosure of the Protected Health Information other than as provided for by this BAA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Business Associate will:

  • Implement administrative, organizational, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Electronic Protected Health Information that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of the Covered Entity as required by the Security Rule.
  • Report to Covered Entity any Security Incident involving Electronic Protected Health Information of which Business Associate becomes aware. Any actual, successful Security Incident will be reported to Covered Entity in writing without unreasonable delay. Any attempted, unsuccessful Security Incident of which Business Associate becomes aware will be reported to Covered Entity orally or in writing on a reasonable basis, as requested by Covered Entity. If HIPAA is amended to remove the requirement to report unsuccessful attempts at unauthorized access, the requirement hereunder to report such unsuccessful attempts will no longer apply as of the effective date of the amendment.
  • Notify Covered Entity following the discovery of a Breach of Unsecured
  • Protected Health Information in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.410 without unreasonable delay and in no case later than 60 days (or within any shorter deadline imposed by applicable State law) after discovery of the Breach. A Breach is considered “discovered” as of the first day on which the Breach is known, or reasonably should have been known, to Business Associate or any employee, officer or agent of Business Associate, other than the individual committing the Breach. Any notice of a Security Incident or Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information shall include the identification of each Individual whose Protected Health Information has been or is reasonably believed by Business Associate to have been, accessed, acquired, or disclosed during such Security Incident or Breach as well as any other relevant information regarding the Security Incident or Breach.

c. Reporting. Business Associate agrees to report, without unreasonable delay, to Covered Entity any use or disclosure of Protected Health Information by Business Associate or a third party to which Business Associate disclosed Protected Health Information not permitted by this BAA of which Business Associate becomes aware.

d. Minimum Necessary Standard. To the extent required by the “minimum necessary” requirements of HIPAA, Business Associate shall only request, use and disclose the minimum amount of Protected Health Information necessary to accomplish the purpose of the request, use or disclosure.

e. Mitigation. Business Associate agrees to take reasonable steps to mitigate, to the extent practicable, any harmful effect that is known to Business Associate of a use or disclosure of Protected Health Information by Business Associate in violation of the requirements of this BAA (including, without limitation, any Security Incident or Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information). Business Associate agrees to reasonably cooperate and coordinate with Covered Entity in the investigation of any violation of the requirements of this BAA and/or any Security Incident or Breach. Business Associate shall also reasonably cooperate and coordinate with Covered Entity in the preparation of any reports or notices required to be made under HIPAA or any other Federal or State laws, rules or regulations, to any Individual (entitled to notice in connection with a Breach), regulatory body, or any third party, provided that any such reports or notices shall be subject to the prior written approval of Covered Entity.

f. Subcontractors. Business Associate shall enter into a written agreement meeting the requirements of 45 C.F.R. §§ 164.504(e) and 164.314(a)(2) with each Subcontractor (including, without limitation, a Subcontractor that is an agent under applicable law) that creates, receives, maintains or transmits Protected Health Information on behalf of Business Associate. Business Associate shall ensure that the written agreement with each Subcontractor obligates the Subcontractor to comply with restrictions and conditions that are at least as restrictive as the restrictions and conditions that apply to Business Associate through this BAA.

g. Access to Designated Record Sets. To the extent that Business Associate maintains Protected Health Information in a Designated Record Set, Business Associate agrees to provide access, at the request of Covered Entity, and in the time and manner designated by the Covered Entity, to Protected Health Information in a Designated Record Set created or received by Business Associate solely on behalf of Covered Entity only, to Covered Entity or, as directed by Covered Entity, to an Individual in order to meet the requirements under HIPAA Regulations. If an Individual makes a request for access to Protected Health Information directly to Business Associate, Business Associate shall notify Covered Entity of the request within ten (10) business days of such request. Covered Entity shall have the sole responsibility to make decisions regarding whether to approve a request for access to Protected Health Information.

h. Amendments to Designated Record Sets. To the extent that Business Associate maintains Protected Health Information in a Designated Record Set, within thirty (30) days of a receipt of a request from Covered Entity for the amendment of an Individual’s Protected Health Information contained in such Designated Record Set, Business Associate agrees to provide such Protected Health Information to Covered Entity for amendment and to incorporate any such amendment(s) to Protected Health Information in the Designated Record Set maintained by the Business Associate pursuant to HIPAA Regulations and in the time and manner designated by the Covered Entity. If an Individual makes a request for an amendment to Protected Health Information directly to Business Associate, Business Associate shall notify Covered Entity of the request within ten (10) business days of such request. Covered Entity will have the sole responsibility to make decisions regarding whether to approve a request for amendment to Protected Health Information.

i. Access to Books and Records. Business Associate agrees to make its internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information received from or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of, Covered Entity available to the Secretary for purposes of the Secretary determining Covered Entity's and Business Associate's compliance with the Privacy Rule.

j. Accountings. Business Associate agrees to, within thirty (30) days of request for an accounting of disclosures of Protected Health Information from Covered Entity, make available to Covered Entity such information as is in Business Associate’s possession and as would be required for Covered Entity to respond to a request by an Individual for an accounting of disclosures of Protected Health Information in accordance with HIPAA.

  1. Term. This BAA shall be effective as of the date of this BAA and shall terminate when all of the Protected Health Information provided by Covered Entity to Business Associate, or created or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity, is destroyed or returned to Covered Entity, or, if it is infeasible to return or destroy Protected Health Information, protections are extended to such information, in accordance with the termination provisions in this Section.
  2. Termination Upon Breach. Any other provision of this BAA notwithstanding, either party (the “Non-Breaching Party”), upon knowledge of a material breach by the other party (the “Breaching Party”), shall provide an opportunity for the Breaching Party to cure the breach or end the violation. If Breaching Party does not cure the breach or end the violation within thirty (30) calendar days, the Non-Breaching Party may terminate: (A) this BAA; and (B) all of the provisions of the Services Agreement that involve the use or disclosure of Protected Health Information In the event that termination of this BAA is not feasible, in the Non-Breaching Party's sole discretion, the Non-Breaching Party has the right to report the breach to the Secretary.

Business Associate shall retain no copies of the Protected Health Information.
    2. In the event that Business Associate reasonably determines that returning or destroying the Protected Health Information is infeasible, Business Associate shall extend the protections of this BAA to such Protected Health Information and limit further uses and disclosures of such Protected Health Information to those purposes that make the return or destruction infeasible, for so long as Business Associate maintains such Protected Health Information. Covered Entity acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is infeasible for Business Associate to delete Protected Health Information from its backup tapes or other backup systems and (ii) it is infeasible for Business Associate to delete all Protected Health Information during an ongoing investigation in connection with a Security Incident or Breach of Unsecured Protected Health Information, and that temporarily retaining certain Protected Health Information may be necessary for such investigation.

When providing its services and/or products, Business Associate shall comply with all applicable HIPAA standards and requirements (including, without limitation, those specified in 45 CFR Part 162) with respect to the transmission of health information in electronic form in connection with any transaction for which the Secretary has adopted a standard under HIPAA (“Covered Transactions”). Business Associate will make its services and/or products compliant with HIPAA’s standards and requirements no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable compliance dates under HIPAA.
