1. Except as provided in the Agreement and paragraph 2 of this Section, upon termination of this BAA in accordance with the provisions of this BAA and the Agreement, Business Associate shall return or destroy all PHI received from Covered Entity, or created, maintained or received by Business Associate on behalf of Covered Entity, that the Business Associate still maintains in any form. This provision shall apply to PHI that is in the possession of Subcontractors or agents of Business Associate. Business Associate shall retain no copies of the PHI.
2. In the event that Business Associate determines that returning or destroying the PHI is infeasible, Business Associate shall provide to Covered Entity notification of the conditions that make return or destruction infeasible. Upon the Covered Entity’s acceptance that return or destruction of PHI is infeasible, Business Associate shall extend the protections of this BAA to such PHI and limit further Uses and Disclosures of such PHI to those purposes that make the return or destruction infeasible, for so long as Business Associate maintains such PHI. Business Associate shall be entitled to compensation for continued maintenance of PHI as provided for in the Agreement and price schedules.
(d) Covered Entity shall pay the charges of Business Associate for the return and/or destruction of PHI as set forth in the Agreement. The obligations of Business Associate under this Section 4 shall survive termination of this BAA.
5. Miscellaneous.

(b) No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing express or implied in this BAA is intended to confer, nor shall anything herein confer, upon any person other than Covered Entity, Business Associate and their respective successors or assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities whatsoever.
(c) ACCESS may amend this BAA from time to time. When ACCESS makes material changes to this BAA, ACCESS will notify you. You can tell when this BAA was last updated by looking at the revision date. Any changes to this BAA will become effective upon posting on the site. Continued use of the services provided by ACCESS constitutes CLIENT’s acceptance of the revised BAA then in effect.
Where any of the terms and conditions in this BAA are in conflict with the Agreement and cannot be read in any way to be compatible, those in the Agreement shall prevail, except to the extent said interpretation would violate the HIPAA Rules.
