Terms of Service
Effective date: 2026-04-21 · Version 1.0 (DRAFT — pending legal review)
Draft notice
This Terms of Service is a comprehensive draft generated against a HIPAA-SaaS template for the SecliaConnect platform. It is intended as a working document for qualified legal counsel to review and finalize before public launch. Nothing on this page constitutes legal advice.
1. Parties & Acceptance
This Master Subscription Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between 7Z Web Developers LLC, a Texas limited liability company doing business as SecliaConnect(“SecliaConnect,” “we,” or “us”), and the clinic, practice, or other entity identified in an associated Order Form or that otherwise subscribes to the Service (“Customer,” “you,” or “your”).
By creating an account, clicking “I agree,” executing an Order Form, or using any part of the Service, you represent that you have the authority to bind Customer to this Agreement and that you have read, understood, and accept its terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Definitions
- “Service” means the SecliaConnect software-as-a-service telehealth platform, including the multi-tenant web application, tenant subdomains (e.g.
yourclinic.secliaconnect.com), APIs, patient booking surfaces, provider surfaces, administrative dashboards, and ancillary features described at secliaconnect.com. - “BAA” means the Business Associate Agreement executed between Customer and SecliaConnect pursuant to the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules (45 C.F.R. Parts 160, 162, 164).
- “PHI” means “protected health information” as defined at 45 C.F.R. \u00a7 160.103.
- “Customer Data” means all data submitted to the Service by Customer, Customer’s users, or Customer’s patients, including PHI.
- “Authorized Users” means Customer’s employees, contractors, or agents authorized to access the Service on Customer’s behalf (providers, administrators, support staff).
- “Patients” means individuals who interact with Customer’s branded instance of the Service for purposes of scheduling, attending, or following up on telehealth visits.
3. Grant of License
Subject to this Agreement and payment of applicable Fees, SecliaConnect grants Customer a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable subscription to access and use the Service during the Subscription Term solely for Customer’s internal business operations (i.e., operating Customer’s clinical practice).
4. Fees, Billing & Renewal
Customer pays the subscription Fees stated on the pricing page or applicable Order Form (currently $99/month or $950/yearper clinic). Fees are billed in advance via Stripe. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically each month; annual subscriptions renew automatically each year. Customer may cancel renewal at any time from the admin dashboard; cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period. All Fees are in United States dollars and exclusive of taxes, which are Customer’s responsibility unless otherwise required by law.
Trial. New customers may enroll in a seven (7) day free trial. No Fees are charged during the trial. At the end of the trial, the subscription converts automatically to the plan selected during sign-up unless Customer cancels beforehand.
Founding-clinic rate lock. Customers who subscribe to an annual plan during the Founding Clinic period (defined as on or before 2026-12-31) are entitled to renewal at the original annual rate for so long as their subscription remains continuously active. SecliaConnect reserves the right to raise list prices for new customers at any time; existing annual customers under the rate lock are unaffected.
5. Customer Responsibilities
- Customer is solely responsible for all clinical decisions, diagnoses, treatments, and care delivered through the Service. SecliaConnect does not practice medicine and does not provide medical advice.
- Customer must comply with all applicable laws governing the practice of medicine, licensure, telehealth, and the handling of PHI in the jurisdictions where Customer operates.
- Customer is responsible for maintaining the security of Authorized User credentials and for all activity under Customer’s account. Customer must require multi-factor authentication for all Authorized Users with administrative or provider-level access.
- Customer is responsible for obtaining any consents required under HIPAA, state privacy law, and applicable professional rules before collecting PHI from Patients through the Service.
- Customer is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of any brand assets, copy, service descriptions, or pricing published to Customer’s branded instance.
6. Data & HIPAA; Business Associate Agreement
SecliaConnect acts as a Business Associate to Customer with respect to any PHI processed through the Service. The BAA executed between the parties is incorporated into this Agreement by reference and controls in the event of any conflict with these Terms on matters of PHI use, disclosure, safeguards, or breach notification.
SecliaConnect implements administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to meet the HIPAA Security Rule, including encryption of Customer Data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), tenant-scoped database isolation, role-based access controls, audit logging of sensitive writes, and signed subprocessor agreements for any vendor that processes PHI (see Privacy Policy for the current subprocessor list).
7. Acceptable Use
Customer and Authorized Users shall not:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the limited extent permitted by law.

- Use the Service to collect PHI in jurisdictions where Customer is not lawfully licensed to practice.

Credits must be requested within 30 days of the end of the affected month.
12. Limitation of Liability
