If you are using the Services on behalf of an employer, company, organization, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, "you" and "your" refer to both you and the entity you represent.

These Terms may be supplemented by additional agreements, service forms, employer agreements, account documents, pricing terms, HIPAA or privacy documents, or other written terms accepted by you or your organization. If there is a conflict between these general website Terms and a separate signed agreement with Med-Stop, the signed agreement will control for the services covered by that agreement.

Med-Stop may update these Terms from time to time. The current version will be made available on the Med-Stop website or within the Med-Stop App. We may also provide notice through the Med-Stop App, by email, by fax, or by other reasonable means.
Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective means that you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services and, where applicable, terminate your account or service agreement.
Description of Services
Med-Stop provides a web-based application known as the Med-Stop App, an online management system for drug, alcohol, occupational medical testing, employee test data, compliance management, laboratory result processing, Medical Review Officer services, and random selection programs.
The Services may include online account access, employee and employer records, testing documentation, test request management, random selection tools, reporting tools, testing site search, result management, alerts, notices, support services, and other related functionality.
The availability and scope of the Services may depend on your account type, service plan, signed agreement, user permissions, third-party provider availability, and applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
No DOT C/TPA or Consortium Role Unless Separately Agreed
Unless Med-Stop expressly agrees otherwise in a separate written agreement, Med-Stop is not acting as your DOT Third-Party Administrator, Consortium, employer representative, compliance officer, legal advisor, or regulatory consultant. The Med-Stop App is an online service made available for employers and authorized users to manage information and workflow.
You remain solely responsible for your own compliance with all applicable federal, state, local, DOT, FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, PHMSA, USCG, workplace safety, employment, privacy, health, and testing requirements.

Charges, Billing, and Payment
Some Med-Stop Services require payment. You agree to pay all charges resulting from your account, your organization's account, or your use of the Services at the prices then in effect, including charges incurred by authorized users and charges incurred before you notify Med-Stop of unauthorized use.
All charges are exclusive of applicable taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for payment of any applicable federal, state, local, city, sales, use, or similar taxes, except taxes based on Med-Stop's income.
If you provide a credit card or other payment method, you represent that you are authorized to provide that payment method and authorize Med-Stop or its payment processor to charge it for amounts due. You agree to keep payment information accurate and current.
You must notify Med-Stop of any disputed charge in good faith and provide supporting documentation within a reasonable time. You agree to work with Med-Stop to resolve billing disputes before initiating a chargeback or payment reversal.
If amounts owed to Med-Stop are not paid when due, Med-Stop may notify you of the delinquency and may suspend or terminate access to the Services if payment is not received.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards within your own organization, including user access controls, employee training, workstation security, account management, password security, and internal procedures for protecting personal information and protected health information.
You must notify Med-Stop without unreasonable delay if you become aware of unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, misuse, or suspected compromise involving Med-Stop systems, Med-Stop credentials, Med-Stop data, or information transmitted through the Services.

Depending on the service, relationship, and applicable law, Med-Stop may act as a business associate or may process health-related information under other legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements.
You are responsible for determining your own obligations under HIPAA and other applicable privacy laws and for ensuring that your use of the Services complies with those obligations.
