IV. TYPE AND USE OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
is a federal program that requires that all medical records and other
individually identifiable health information used or disclosed by Xytex
in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally be kept confidential
to maintain the privacy of your protected health information. This Act
gives you, the patient, significant new rights to understand and control
how your health information is used. HIPAA provides penalties for covered
entities that misuse personal health information.
As required by HIPAA, we have prepared this Notice of Privacy Practices
(NPP) which describes how Xytex is required to maintain the privacy of
your health information and how we may use and disclose your protected
health information.
We may use and disclose your medical records only for each of the following
purposes: treatment, payment, or health care operations.
Treatment means providing, coordinating, or managing health care and
related services by one or more health care providers. Examples of this
would include related care and treatment services by health care providers,
scheduling surgery, other exams or appointments with other providers,
calling in prescriptions and refills, consultation between health care
providers relating to a patient for coordination of care and physician
to staff discussions for coordination of care, and the referral of a patient
for health care from one health care provider to another.
Payment means such activities as obtaining reimbursement for services,
confirming coverage, billing or collection activities, related data processing,
and utilization review.
Health care operations include the business aspects of running our practice
on a daily basis, such as conducting quality assessment and improvement
activities, marketing activities, auditing functions, cost-management
analysis, and customer service.
Any other uses and disclosures will be made only with your written authorization.
You may revoke such authorization in writing and we are required to honor
and abide by that written request, except to the extent that we have already
taken actions relying on your authorization.
We may also create and distribute de-identified health information by
removing all references to individually identifiable information.
We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health
information and to provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy
practices with respect to protected health information.
This notice is effective as of September 1, 2003 and we are required
to abide by the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices and to make the
new notice provisions effective for all protected health information that
we maintain. We will post and you may request a written copy of the revised
Notice of Privacy Practices from this office.
V. SUBMISSIONS
We are pleased to hear from our users and welcome your comments regarding
the Site and the products and services offered in connection therewith.
Unfortunately, however, our long-standing company policy does not allow
us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other
than those that we have specifically requested. We employ a talented staff
and consultants who may be working on the same or similar ideas. We hope
you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the
possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by our
professional staff and/or consultants might seem to others to be similar
to their own creative work. Please do not send us any unsolicited original
creative materials of any kind. While we do value your feedback on the
Site and the services and products offered in connection therewith, we
request that you be specific in your comments with respect to the same,
and not submit any creative ideas, suggestions, or materials (unless specifically
requested by us).
If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions or, despite
our request, you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings,
concepts, or other information (collectively, the "Submissions"),
the Submissions shall be deemed, and shall remain, our property. None
of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on
our part and we shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions.
Without limitation of the foregoing, we shall exclusively own all now
known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and
nature throughout the universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use
of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise,
without compensation to the provider of the Submissions.
VI. FORUMS AND PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
"Forum" means a chat area, message board, or e-mail function
offered as part of the Site. If you participate in a Forum within the

Parties harmless for the content of such messages. We reserve the right
to remove or edit content from any Forum at any time and for any reason.
By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us,
you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such materials expressly
granted) us a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive right
and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly
perform and display, create derivative works from and distribute such
materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology
now known or later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you
warrant that all so-called "moral rights" in those materials
have been waived.

say they are, know what they say they know, or are affiliated with whom
they say they are affiliated with in any chat room, message board, or
other user generated content area.
