reference Intermedix in a HIPAA Notification based on its belief that such a reference is
required by HIPAA or other applicable law, Client shall provide Intermedix written

the failure to enter into such agreements with these third parties may hinder Client’s use
of certain software features that might otherwise be available to it (for instance, a direct
data connection between a third party device and the Product Unit).
