We at Home Care Pulse care about quality as much as you do and feel privileged to be able to provide this service and help you improve your home care business and the quality of care you provide.

Last Updated: December 2022

  1. Services Provided

CUSTOMER hereby engages HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, and HOME CARE PULSE, LLC hereby accepts such engagement, to provide CUSTOMER with such services (the “Services”)as are mutually agreed by the parties as set forth in the “Service Plan,” and such Services may consist of at least one or more of the following: client/family satisfaction phone surveys , caregiver satisfaction phone surveys, satisfaction reporting, educational webinars, educational subscription memberships, reputation management information, performance bench-marking subscriptions, and other related services.

  1. Service Expectations

CUSTOMER understands when subscribing to the Quality Experience Management Program, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC will conduct satisfaction phone surveys with approximately 7 – 10% of their clients (active or who have received care within the last 90-days) and/or actively employed caregivers each month, unless otherwise specified in the services selection of this Agreement. CUSTOMER understands the number of satisfaction surveys performed each month may vary based upon the current number of clients and employed caregivers and/or upon the service package selected. CUSTOMER can increase the percentage of surveys completed each month by ensuring: 1) client and/or caregiver files are updated with the correct contact information for clients/responsible parties and for caregivers; 2) inform letters have been given to all new clients/ caregivers and have been sent to existing clients/caregivers during the past six months; 3) all corrections needed have been accurately resolved within the Care Intelligence Platform and within CUSTOMER’s scheduling software.

  1. Term & Termination

The initial term of this Agreement begins on the date that billing begins by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, and continues for the contract period specified herein. CUSTOMER will have 30 days from the date the Agreement is signed to process through HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s implementation, integration, and onboarding. After the 30 days, billing will begin. The CUSTOMER will have 60 days from the date the signed Agreement is received by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, to cancel if unsatisfied with the Services provided. The 60 days opt out period only applies to the original agreement signed by CUSTOMER. CUSTOMER will be expected to pay for all Services provided up to their cancellation. After the 60-day grace period, the full term of this Agreement is in force. The initial renewal date shall be the expiration date of the initial term. Each subsequent renewal date shall be the expiration date of the then-current term. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC will contact CUSTOMER within 60 days prior to the initial or subsequent renewal date of the term to provide CUSTOMER with the opportunity to opt-out of renewing the subscription for the same term expiring. If CUSTOMER fails to opt-out within 45 days prior to the expiration of this Agreement, this Agreement will automatically renew, and each renewal date thereafter subject to the provision herein, for the same term as is expiring at the current contract rate plus up to 5% for ongoing Services. CUSTOMER will be expected to pay for any services rendered. Except as expressly waived by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, on termination of this Agreement for any reason other than for HOME CARE PULSE, LLC being in breach or being subject to an event listed herein, CUSTOMER shall pay HOME CARE PULSE, LLC any and all fees payable until the end of the then-current term. If CUSTOMER doesn’t pay, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC may terminate this agreement for any reason if written notice is given 30 days prior to termination. Customers of Home Care Pulse may pause their account up to 90 days per 12-month calendar period. The paused months will be added to the end of their current term agreement.

EXAMPLE: If you started services on January 1, 2020 and had a 24-month agreement and paused in 2021 for 90 days, your agreement would now end 3/31/2022 instead of 12/31/2021.

If a customer needs to pause longer than 90 days, it will need to be approved by Home Care Pulse management and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Pausing your surveys could affect your award eligibility.

  1. Compensation, Payments, & Late Payment Penalties

Home Care Pulse Customers are billed monthly. Set-up fees for services are billed at the time this Agreement is signed and received. Services charged are outlined in the “Services Selection.” Payment for services rendered is due upon receipt. If payments are NET15 days late, late payment fees may apply, not to exceed 18% annual percentage rate of late, outstanding balances. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC reserves the right to withhold access to Services or cancel the subscription, without waiver of any of HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s rights herein, if CUSTOMER’s account is more than NET30 days past due, provided HOME CARE PULSE, LLC gives CUSTOMER a 5-day written notice (which may be given by email). Any CUSTOMER account that is suspended for non-payment will require an advance payment equivalent to 3 months of subscription to reinstate the account.

  1. Service Fee Increase

Though rare, periodically, it may be necessary for HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, to increase CUSTOMER’s fees for Services in order to keep up with inflation and other increased costs of doing business. If an increase becomes necessary during the term of the agreement, the CUSTOMER will be given a 30-day written notice prior to any fee increase. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, will always strive to avoid fee increases whenever possible.

  1. Confidentiality

HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, and CUSTOMER agree they will not disclose, divulge, or reveal any information deemed confidential by the other party to any individual or business who is not a party to this Agreement. This obligation of confidentiality will survive the termination of this Agreement.

  1. Protected Health Information

If HOME CARE PULSE, LLC receives protected health information (as defined by HIPAA) during the course of providing Services, it shall not use or disclose such protected health information other than as permitted by or required by law and shall use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure of such protected health information. CUSTOMER may require HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, provided by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, to execute a standard Business Associates Agreement if HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, receives protected health information during the course of providing Services.

  1. Name, Logos, and Marketing Material Usage

Ownership of the HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s, name, trademarks, service marks, logos, and related marketing material/graphics belong to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC. These items (the “Intellectual Property”) may be used by CUSTOMER as marketing tools (i.e., email signatures, marketing collateral, websites, social media, PowerPoint presentations, print ads, etc.), as long as the Intellectual Property is used in ways that would not, in the opinion of HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, damage the HOME CARE PULSE, LLC brand or its affiliated brands such as Home Care Pulse Certified and Best of Home Care TM.  If Services are terminated by HOME CARE PULSE, LLC or the CUSTOMER, the CUSTOMER agrees to discontinue use of these items in association with their business.  It is HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s sole discretion to determine if the Intellectual Property is being used inappropriately and may require the CUSTOMER to discontinue use if deemed necessary. 

  1. Purpose of Client and Employee Satisfaction

Client and employee feedback is one of the greatest gifts a home care provider can receive. A blend of both positive and negative feedback will help you understand what is going well as well as where you need to focus your efforts to improve.

  1. Employee Satisfaction Understanding

HOME CARE PULSE, LLC has designed its surveys to capture both positive and negative feedback by allowing the employees surveyed to remain anonymous. It is vital to keep this feedback highly confidential. If employees were to realize CUSTOMER was aware of their identity, they may no longer give the gift of a complaint, in fear of repercussions. Even a “thank you” to an employee for positive feedback can have a negative effect for future surveys. The information obtained is not intended to be used for individual employee recognition or disciplinary action. Employee satisfaction is meant for the CUSTOMER and/or executives to take ground-level employee feedback and use it for high-level improvements. There is no better place to find out where or how you can improve than to listen to the people on the front lines.

  1. Client Satisfaction Understanding

Unlike employee satisfaction surveys, the majority of client satisfaction surveys are NOT anonymous. Though HOME CARE PULSE, LLC gives clients/responsible parties the option to remain anonymous, the majority of the time, they allow HOME CARE PULSE, LLC to use their names. The purpose of this is so CUSTOMER’s home care business can make specific improvements related directly to the client surveyed. CUSTOMER agrees not to call its clients/responsible parties, who have performed an survey, and ask them why they scored CUSTOMER so poorly or why they said something negative about CUSTOMER’s agency or employee. More often than not, this approach will reflect poorly on CUSTOMER and its agency and sends the message to the client/responsible party that CUSTOMER is not focused on using their scores and feedback to improve the quality of care they are receiving. CUSTOMER may call them and thank them for their feedback and reassure that CUSTOMER will use it to help improve the overall quality of care for all their clients. This latter approach will go a long way with CUSTOMER’s clients/responsible parties and send the message that their satisfaction is a high priority.

  1. Reputation Management Information Release

CUSTOMER hereby authorizes HOME CARE PULSE, LLC to share with all current and future reputation management partner companies with whom they have entered into legally binding agreement(s), CUSTOMER’s home care business client feedback, ratings, and any Best of Home Care awards CUSTOMER has earned or may earn in the future, for the purpose of promoting CUSTOMER’s home care business to prospective clients. The Home Care Pulse Quality Management Program is used to gather feedback from CUSTOMER’s clients and caregivers. This feedback may consist of both positive and negative ratings and reviews about CUSTOMER’s home care business. Errors do occur, and in the event, CUSTOMER feels an error has been made in the representation of ratings or reviews, CUSTOMER will contact HOME CARE PULSE, LLC directly to appeal the survey ratings and reviews. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC has the final decision to reject or not reject CUSTOMER’s request for survey review based upon HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s established survey appeal guidelines. HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, will automatically set the percentage of CUSTOMER’s client feedback and ratings that are sent to each reputation management company using a random distribution methodology. At any time, CUSTOMER can adjust the percentage of reviews being sent to each reputation management company or completely stop any reviews and feedback from being sent to reputation management companies through CUSTOMER’s Home Care Pulse online account. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. CUSTOMER represents, warrants, and agrees that no materials of any kind submitted to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC or otherwise posted, transmitted, or shared by them will violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other personal or proprietary rights, or contain libelous, defamatory, or otherwise unlawful material. Further, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC is not responsible or liable in any manner for any user content or third-party applications, software, or content posted on any website or in connection with its Service, whether posted or caused by users of the website, by any reputation management company, by third parties, or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in any website or Service. CUSTOMER understands and agrees to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC does not control and is not responsible for what others post, transmit, or share on any website and are not responsible for any offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable content CUSTOMER or any other person may encounter on any website.

  1. Waiver

Any waiver by the parties of any breach of any obligation or covenant herein contained to be kept and performed by the CUSTOMER shall not be deemed or considered as a continuing waiver and shall not operate to bar or prevent HOME CARE PULSE, LLC from declaring a forfeiture for any succeeding breach, either of the same condition, covenant, or otherwise.

  1. Indemnity and Limitation on Damages

CUSTOMER agrees to indemnify HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents against and from all third party officers, directors, and employees from any and all third party liability, losses, damages, obligations, judgments, claims, causes of action, and expenses associated therewith (including settlements, judgments, court costs and attorneys’ fees as and when incurred) to the extent resulting from or arising out of directly or indirectly any acts, errors, omissions, or gross negligence associated with CUSTOMER’s dealings with any third party. CUSTOMER warrants and agrees that in no event will HOME CARE PULSE, LLC or its directors, employees, or agents be liable to CUSTOMER or any third person for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including for any lost profits or lost data arising from CUSTOMER’s use of any of HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s Services, any platform applications, or any of the site content or other materials on, accessed through, or downloaded from, even if HOME CARE PULSE, LLC is aware or has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s liability to CUSTOMER for any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of the action, will at all times be limited to the amount paid, if any, by CUSTOMER to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC for Services during the term of this Agreement, but in no case will HOME CARE PULSE, LLC’s liability exceed $1,000.00. CUSTOMER acknowledges if no fees are paid to HOME CARE PULSE, LLC for the Service, CUSTOMER shall be limited to injunctive relief only, unless otherwise permitted by law, and shall not be entitled to damages of any kind from HOME CARE PULSE, LLC regardless of the cause of action. Certain state and provincial laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these laws apply to CUSTOMER, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions, or limitations may not apply to CUSTOMER, and CUSTOMER understands it may have additional rights.

  1. Relationship of Parties

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to be the relationship of principal and agent, or a partnership, or of a joint venture, between HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, and CUSTOMER. It being agreed neither the method of this Agreement, nor any other provision named herein, nor any act of the parties herein, shall be deemed to create any type of a relationship between the parties hereto.

  1. Successors; Assignment

The provisions of this Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and assigns. HOME CARE PULSE LLC may assign or transfer this Agreement without prior written consent of the other party. CUSTOMER may only assign or transfer this Agreement upon the prior consent of HOME CARE PULSE, LLC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  1. Severability

If any portion or provision of this Agreement is deemed or held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in full force and effect.

  1. Authority and Entire Agreement

In executing this Agreement, the individual signing the same represents and warrants that he/she has the authority to execute this Agreement and to bind CUSTOMER.

Initial Term 

The initial term of this Agreement begins on the date the billing begins by the COMPANY and continues for the contract period specified in herein.  

THE COMPANY’S RESPONSIBILITIES 

  1. Users within the CUSTOMERS Organization will have access to the COMPANY library (or libraries as designated on page 1 of this Agreement) of Internet-based educational courses and resources.

  3. After implementation and administrator training, CUSTOMER will maintain their User database by adding and deactivating User profiles as required. CUSTOMER will be responsible for assuring User data integrity and that the data upload contains only eligible (active) employees. It is the sole responsibility of the CUSTOMER to be responsible for monitoring seat count.

At any time, the administrator may contact COMPANY to request an increase or decrease to the tier of seats. For upgrade or downgrade in plan level will result in the new rate being charged at the next billing cycle. There will be no prorating for downgrades in between billing cycles. Downgrading your Service may cause the loss of features or capacity of your account. The COMPANY does not accept any liability for such loss. CUSTOMER can upgrade or downgrade via written communication. An upgrade or downgrade is a non-contractual change.
  4. COMPANY will provide Internet-based educational courses for all Users of CUSTOMER. On an ongoing basis, COMPANY may add additional Internet-based courses and resources to be determined by the COMPANY without any additional costs to CUSTOMER’S Organization in accordance with this agreement.

Successful course completion is dependent on the User meeting course completion requirements as specified on the Course Launch Page. State-approved courses will include approval language from that state’s accrediting body. 
  6. The COMPANY will maintain CUSTOMER’s database information for a minimum of six (6) years. Database information includes, but is not limited to, Username, discipline, state certification number, course taken, test score and date taken.

It is expressly understood by all parties that the User is ultimately responsible to be knowledgeable of the continuing education requirements for his or her certification. Therefore, CUSTOMER indemnifies COMPANY and holds the COMPANY harmless from any liability resulting from the User’s failure to properly determine whether a COMPANY course qualifies for the approval requirements of their location or approving body. The COMPANY is released from refunding fees paid for negligence in CUSTOMER not being knowledgeable regarding state specific requirements. CUSTOMER is still responsible for upholding contract terms as outlined within this Agreement. Although COMPANY will make all reasonable efforts to obtain and/or maintain course approval for all 50 states, COMPANY cannot be responsible for state regulatory changes in continuing education that may make courses ineligible for initial or renewal approval. COMPANY will exercise reasonable efforts to keep the subscribed CUSTOMER Portal available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, subject to scheduled downtime for maintenance purposes, emergency maintenance, system outages and other circumstances beyond COMPANY’S control.

Due to potential bandwidth limitations at variable course access locations, COMPANY cannot guarantee the speed which courses launch or run. Accordingly, CUSTOMER agrees that COMPANY will not be liable for any unavailability outside of COMPANY control of the COMPANY Courses and/or the COMPANY Portal. COMPANY will use its best efforts at its own expense to recover any and all lost or corrupted data due to virus, hackers, faulty hardware and unauthorized COMPANY employee access.

However, COMPANY is liable for any claims that result from a breach of security due to the direct and willful or gross negligence by COMPANY or its employees. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply.
  3. The provisions of this Agreement will be binding on an inure to the benefit of the parties’ permitted successors and assigns. COMPANY may assign or transfer this Agreement without prior written consent of the other party. 
  4. This Agreement, being separate and excluded from any prior consulting or service agreements, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties, and supersedes all previous agreements (whether written or oral) concerning the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended except by a written document executed by the parties to this Agreement. A faxed or e-signature is acceptable for documentation. 
  5. Neither party hereto will be in default hereunder by reason of its delay in the performance or failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder for any event, circumstance, or cause beyond its control such as, but not limited to acts of God, strikes, lock-outs, general governmental orders or restrictions, war, threat of war, hostilities, revolution, riots, epidemics, power shortages, fire, earthquake, or flood.

  8. User Access Policies, Seat Usage Restrictions, and Potential Overages CUSTOMERS Access to COMPANY’s LMS Training Portal is billed or considered on a per active user basis annually. CUSTOMERS are afforded a level of access agreed upon as stated above (Subsection: Content Packages & Costs). A User is considered an Active User once their profile is generated and assigned into the LMS Portal. Once a user profile is considered active, in no scenario may a user be deactivated as an attempt to limit or rotate user access or “active” seats on the platform. COMPANY accounts for and allows the deactivation of Users whose profile falls under the characteristics mentioned above only upon termination or employment. If an employee profile is generated and that employee later leaves the Organization, for any reason, within that year of service, then the subscribing party may deactivate said user and utilize the access or “seat” which they were occupying for a new hire or employee who was not previously utilizing the LMS. If CUSTOMER exceeds their allotted level of access or “active seats,” the additional access will be billed based in accordance with applicable rate per access on a prorated basis dependent on when the overages occur during their year of service. g. – Assume the year of service begins on January 1st and the CUSTOMER has access and paid for 50 “active seats.” If the CUSTOMER adds 10 additional “active seats” on July 1st, they would incur an overage charge based on the added number of “active seats” (10) prorated    for the half year remaining in their current service year.  In this scenario, the total overage cost would equal $300 ($60 per user access x 10 users x 0.5 )for the remaining 6 months of access in the current year of service). Please note, example is based on the current rate as of January 1, 2020 and is in no way a guarantee of user access cost at related access tier. Actions taken by CUSTOMER, whether made with premeditated intent or inadvertently, that result in violation of the above policies will be subject to further legal action if proper action is not taken as to deliver remuneration to COMPANY.
