Legal Disclaimer: This training website, forms, documents, and any other related materials (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Site”) is being offered by YourHIPAATraining.com and CEDR HR Solutions (hereinafter referred to collectively as “CEDR”) as a guide and starting point for your office to maintain compliance with a number of federal laws and regulations. Using this Site or any other resources that may be offered by CEDR does not guarantee or warrant the legality or compliance of any of your or your employer’s actions or inactions, policies, procedures, or decisions.

Site is not legal advice and is not to be construed as such. Please note that you are not required to follow CEDR’s guidance, whether provided through this Site or otherwise, and any final decisions as to any measures you do or do not take with regard to office policies and procedures, reporting breach incidents, and employee issues are up to you. If you speak with someone at CEDR and you have an issue that is outside of our expertise, which involves a potential violation, or which presents an actual claim against you, we will most likely refer you to someone who can better assist you and help you locate competent local counsel, if needed.

We shall provide notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding and shall assist you, at your expense, in defending any such claim, suit, or proceeding. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this section. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting our defense of such matter.
Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability: CEDR, as well as its owners, officers, agents, representatives, employees, successors, assigns, and affiliates make no warranties or representations about the content (including the user content) of the Site, including but not limited to its accuracy, reliability, completeness, timeliness, or reliability. Neither we nor our service provider shall be subject to liability for truth, accuracy, or completeness of any information conveyed to the user or for errors, mistakes or omissions therein or for any delays or interruptions of the data or information stream from whatever cause. You agree that you use the site and the content (including the user content) at your own risk. We do not warrant that the site will operate error free or that this site, its server, or the content (including the user content) are free of computer viruses or similar contamination or destructive features. If your use of the site or the content (including the user content) results in the need for servicing or replacing equipment or data, we shall not be responsible for those costs. The site and content (including the user content) are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranties of any kind. We and our service provider hereby disclaim all warranties, including, but not limited to, the warranty of title, merchantability, non infringement of third parties’ rights, and fitness for particular purpose. In no event shall we or our service providers be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, incidental and consequential damages, lost profits, or damages resulting from lost data or business interruption) resulting from the use or inability to use the site and the content (including the user content), whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, even if a we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some states do not allow exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In such states, our and our service provider’s liability shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Dispute Resolution: By receiving our services, you agree that, should a dispute arise over our fees and/or services, the laws of the state of Arizona will apply. Furthermore, you understand and agree that CEDR’s liability is limited to the amount of fees paid by you for our services.
No Legal Representation: CEDR is not a law firm, and no attorney-client relationship is established by your membership or by receiving our services or products.
Though we have attorneys on staff to provide general guidance and information on human resources and employment laws, and to assist with understanding obligations under HIPAA, HITECH, and related laws, our services are not meant to substitute for legal advice, nor should they be regarded as legal opinions. Therefore, it is important that you understand the following:
No Privilege to Communications. Your communications with us are kept confidential, but they are not privileged. This means that though we will not disclose to anyone outside of CEDR the nature or content of our communications with you or your authorized agents without your permission, if we were subpoenaed by a court of law, we may be compelled to provide copies of our files or to testify.
If you become aware of a breach or potential breach of protected health information, a potential or actual legal claim against you, receive notice of a government audit, or experience a serious conflict with an employee or former employee, we will mostly likely need to refer you to local counsel to represent your interests. We do recommend that you call us for guidance should this type of situation arise, and we can help assess the situation and assist you in finding suitable local counsel to represent you.
Limitation on Liability: CEDR shall not be liable for the actions of any outside entity, including users, in implementing the policies, procedures, or rules as provided or discussed on the Site. CEDR shall not be liable for a user’s compliance with its legal and regulatory requirements under federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and guidelines. CEDR shall not be liable for review or approval of any user’s policies, procedures, rules, analysis, notifications, or decisions. CEDR shall not be liable for any regulatory, civil, or criminal claims or actions, by the Department of Health and Human Services, the state or federal Attorney General, individual patients, or others that arise out of or result from actions, inactions, or decisions the user makes regardless of their relation to the use of this Site. Users are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of their actions, inactions, and decisions, as well as all data entered by users on the Site. Documents, functionality, and other information contained on the Site are not to be construed as legal or financial advice. If you have a specific need or problem, the services of a competent professional should be sought to address the particular situation.
No Warranties or Guarantee of Outcomes. Laws are controlled by federal, state, and local authorities. These laws vary from place to place, and are subject to change based on legislative updates, judicial decisions, and/or revised administrative interpretation. At CEDR, we dedicate considerable resources towards keeping abreast of changes in state and federal laws that relate to employee matters. However, we do not warrant that our products and services will be free from error, or that we will notify you of each and every law that could possibly affect you. In addition, we may from time to time express opinions or beliefs about the effectiveness of certain strategies or courses of action. We cannot necessarily make any promises or guarantees regarding the outcome of any matter, and no statement by any CEDR expert should be construed as a promise or guarantee of any specific result. Before adopting any policy or handbook, making a decision regarding what to do if there is a breach or potential breach of protected health information, it is up to you whether to have them reviewed by local legal counsel.
Not a Comprehensive Resource. The obligations set forth by the laws and regulations discussed on this Site and extensive. Should any issues arise in your office, or should you have questions or concerns regarding HIPAA compliance or best practices, this Site does not contain all information you may need to know. It is your individual obligation and responsibility to ensure information is accurate and that you are legally compliant. Many states have their own laws related to or more strict than the federal HIPAA laws and regulations that are discussed on this Site. It is your responsibility to educate yourself on those laws and requirements. CEDR makes no promises that the guidance provided on this Site is consistent with state laws or regulations.
