authorized in this written Agreement—must be considered unsafe unless and until it has been formally approved through the Academy's <br /> scientific process referred to above. Unauthorized modifications to or changes of or misuse of the Licensed Product(s)would constitute <br /> material breaches of this Agreement and give cause for PDC to terminate it and to discontinue S&S hereunder. Because unauthorized <br /> modification,change and/or misuse of the Licensed Product(s)are expressly not allowed,you are solely responsible for any and all results of <br /> any such unauthorized modification,change or mis-use,and you hereby agree to indemnify and hold PDC and the I/NAED harmless from and <br /> against any damages and/or liabilities that may arise from any such breach of this Agreement by you. An example of an unsafe practice would <br /> include(but not be limited to)the following: The modification or responses to incorporate a"no-send"or"referral"option is not authorized by <br /> this License. Such practices may only be authorized under a special"Omega"Software License from the I/NAED. Any implementation of any <br /> such modifications without such an Omega License is an unsafe practice and must not be undertaken. Interested Licensees should contact the <br /> I/NAED to pursue any contemplated modification. In addition,the use of the software,protocols,and training materials by non-I/NAED- <br /> certified individuals is considered to be an Unsafe Practice and is not allowed under this license agreement. <br /> a.CLIENT NOTIFICATION OF ANY UNSAFE PRACTICE(S)AND ITS REMEDIES. The Licensor may at any time for any <br /> activity it deems as an Unsafe Practice,notify the Client to cease and desist such practices(s),and may,at the Licensor's sole discretion,grant a <br /> timeframe for such remedies to occur. Reasonable consideration of sincere proposed processes or attempts by a Client so notified to effect <br /> remedies will not be unreasonably withheld. It is the sole right of the Licensor to invoke an immediate revocation of this license and the return <br /> of all licensed products if the Unsafe Practice is egregious enough to pose a risk to the public safety. <br /> 12.International Dispatch Coding System. The Determinant(and sub-determinant)codes represent the only widely accepted dispatch coding <br /> system in the world.A unified coding system provides for uniform training,use,data collection,data sharing,and comparative scientific study. <br /> This coding system may not be modified in any way not authorized in this Basic Service Plan,or in the Client License Agreement of which it is <br /> a part.As provided above,in the section of this BSP titled"Customization of Responses,"however,it is the licensed client that selects the type <br /> of response,whatever it may be,to be generated by any particular code(e.g.,10-13-1).In this way,the coding system remains intact while <br /> allowing the client full discretion in establishing the local responses"attached"in parallel to these codes. <br /> 13.Standard of Care and Practice.Since 1978,PDC and its originators,have been the principal contributors to the establishment of safe <br /> professional standards for Emergency Medical Dispatch(and subsequently,Police and Fire Dispatch)care and training.PDC's Priority <br /> Dispatch Systems,as well as its ED training and certification programs,meet or exceed every applicable standard known to PDC.Through <br /> substantial commitments of expertise and other valuable resources to basic and applied research,development,quality improvement,dispatch <br /> liability,and risk management,PDC is dedicated and determined to continue setting the standard in ED.In the opinion of some medical-legal <br /> experts,when the current Version of the PDS is properly used by I/NAED-Certified ED professionals,the current standard for emergency <br /> dispatch has been met,and the most reasonable actions for both callers and responders have been taken by the ED center. <br /> 14.Dedicated Legal and Consultative Support.Priority Dispatch Corp.is available for ED system evaluations,ED case reviews,and expert <br /> opinion and witness services to currently registered licensed clients of the PDS who have kept their Software and/or Cards up-to-date(per <br /> sections titled"Basic Service Plan/Extended Service Plan"and"Updates&New versions"of this BSP),and to their professional staff of EDs <br /> and ED instructors who have been trained,then certified through the I/NAED and maintained their I/NAED certifications current.PDC's <br /> professional staff will vigorously defend proper use of the PDS by professionally trained EDs against charges of dispatch negligence that may <br /> arise.All such services are available at PDC's then-current fee schedule for such licensed client services. <br /> 15.Appendix.
