As part of Your access and use, nPhase may share Your personal data with Your the Authority Provider. Beyond the purpose of providing You access to the Website, nPhase acts as a processor (as defined under Directive 95/46/EC) for and on behalf of your company and/or the Authority Provider.

10. Compliance with Law and Good Clinical Practices. You agree to use the Website and its content in strict compliance with all applicable laws, rulings and regulations and in a fashion that does not, in the sole judgment of nPhase, negatively reflect on the goodwill or reputation of nPhase. You further agree not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation. While nPhase has designed its software and services to adhere to International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and similar international regulations and guidelines (such as those issued by EMA and FDA) applicable to electronic clinical research data, each nPhase customer and their Authorized Users are responsible for ensuring that their use of the software and services comply with all such regulations and practices.

THE TERMS OF USE POSTED ON SUCH WEBSITES SHALL APPLY TO THEIR USE.
