Billing & Payment Terms

Effective Date: February 2026

Document Version: 1.0

1. Purpose

These Billing & Payment Terms ("Billing Terms") govern the billing, invoicing, and payment obligations between Rymeda, Inc. ("Rymeda," "we," "us") and the customer ("Customer," "you") for access to and use of the Rymeda platform. These Billing Terms are incorporated by reference into the Terms of Service ("Agreement").

By subscribing to or purchasing services through the Rymeda platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Billing Terms. In the event of a conflict between these Billing Terms and an executed Order Form or Enterprise Agreement, the Order Form or Enterprise Agreement shall control.

2. Definitions

"Subscription"

A recurring agreement to access and use the Rymeda platform under a specified plan tier (Core, Professional, or Enterprise), subject to the payment of applicable Fees on a monthly or annual Billing Period basis.

"Fees"

All charges, costs, and amounts payable by the Customer to Rymeda in connection with the Subscription, including but not limited to base subscription fees, usage-based charges, overage fees, marketplace transaction fees, and any applicable taxes or surcharges.

"Billing Period"

The recurring interval (monthly or annual) during which the Customer is invoiced for Fees. The Billing Period begins on the date of initial subscription activation and renews automatically unless cancelled prior to the renewal date.

"Payment Method"

The financial instrument designated by the Customer for the payment of Fees, including credit card, debit card, ACH bank transfer, or other payment methods supported by Stripe and accepted by Rymeda.

"Overdue"

Any Fee that remains unpaid after the expiration of the applicable payment term (immediate for self-serve plans, net-30 for Enterprise plans). Overdue Fees are subject to late payment charges as described in Section 7.

"Taxes"

All federal, state, provincial, local, or foreign taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments, including sales tax, use tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), and withholding taxes, however designated, that are imposed on or in connection with the Fees.

4. Billing Cycle

4.1 Monthly Billing

Customers on monthly billing are charged on the same calendar day each month (or the last day of the month if the original activation date does not exist in the current month). Monthly subscriptions automatically renew at the beginning of each Billing Period unless cancelled at least twenty-four (24) hours before the renewal date.

4.2 Annual Billing

Customers on annual billing are invoiced for the full annual Fee at the beginning of each annual Billing Period. Annual subscriptions may be eligible for a discount compared to monthly billing as published on the Pricing page. Annual subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least thirty (30) days before the renewal date.

4.3 Proration for Mid-Cycle Changes

When a Customer upgrades or downgrades their subscription plan mid-cycle, the following proration rules apply:

  • Upgrades: The Customer is charged the prorated difference between the current plan and the new plan for the remainder of the current Billing Period. The upgrade takes effect immediately.
  • Downgrades: The downgrade takes effect at the beginning of the next Billing Period. No prorated refund is issued for the current Billing Period unless the Customer is on an annual plan, in which case a pro-rata credit is applied (see Section 9).
  • Add-ons: Additional users, storage, or features added mid-cycle are prorated for the remainder of the current Billing Period.

5. Payment Methods

All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc. (stripe v14.1.0). Rymeda does not store, process, or have access to full payment card numbers. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified.

Credit & Debit Cards

Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover are accepted. Cards are tokenized and stored securely by Stripe. The Customer is responsible for ensuring their card details remain current. Failed charges due to expired or declined cards will be retried per the schedule described in Section 7.

ACH Bank Transfer

ACH direct debit is available for Professional and Enterprise plans. ACH payments typically take three to five (3–5) business days to process. Customers must verify their bank account through Stripe's micro-deposit verification process or instant bank verification. Returned ACH payments may incur a returned payment fee.

Wire Transfer

Wire transfer is available for Enterprise plans with annual billing only. Wire transfer instructions are included on the invoice. The Customer is responsible for all wire transfer fees charged by their financial institution.

No PHI in Payment Processing: No Protected Health Information (PHI) is transmitted to Stripe or any payment processor. Payment metadata includes only customer identifiers (user_id), plan type, and billing amounts. See the Subprocessor List for details.

6. Payment Terms

Plan TypePayment TimingMethod
Core (Self-Serve)Immediate — charged at subscription activation and each renewalCredit/debit card, ACH
Professional (Self-Serve)Immediate — charged at subscription activation and each renewalCredit/debit card, ACH
EnterpriseNet-30 — payment due within thirty (30) days of invoice dateACH, wire transfer, credit card

For self-serve plans (Core and Professional), the Customer authorizes Rymeda (via Stripe) to automatically charge the designated Payment Method on each renewal date. For Enterprise plans, Rymeda issues invoices electronically, and payment is due within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date ("Net-30").

All Fees are quoted and payable in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specified in an executed Order Form.

7. Late Payments

Rymeda takes the following actions when Fees become Overdue:

7.1 Grace Period

A grace period of ten (10) calendar days begins on the date payment becomes Overdue. During the grace period, Rymeda will attempt to charge the Payment Method up to three (3) additional times. The Customer will receive email notifications at days 1, 5, and 10 of the grace period. Full platform access is maintained during the grace period.

7.2 Late Payment Interest

After the grace period expires, Overdue Fees accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower), calculated from the original due date. Interest is compounded monthly on the outstanding balance.

7.3 Service Suspension

If Fees remain Overdue for more than thirty (30) calendar days after the original due date, Rymeda reserves the right to suspend the Customer's access to the platform upon five (5) days' prior written notice. During suspension, Customer data is preserved and accessible for export, but active platform features (clinical workflows, AI services, telehealth, marketplace) are disabled.

7.4 Account Termination

If Fees remain Overdue for more than sixty (60) calendar days, Rymeda may terminate the Customer's account in accordance with the termination provisions of the Terms of Service. Data retention and deletion following termination are governed by the Data Retention Policy.

7.5 Collection Costs

The Customer is responsible for all reasonable costs of collection, including attorney's fees and collection agency fees, incurred by Rymeda in collecting Overdue Fees.

PHI Protection During Suspension: Even during account suspension or termination for non-payment, Rymeda will continue to protect all PHI in accordance with the Business Associate Agreement and HIPAA requirements. The Customer retains the right to export their data during the suspension period.

8. Taxes

The Customer is responsible for all applicable Taxes imposed on or in connection with the Fees, except for taxes based on Rymeda's net income. If Rymeda is required by law to collect Taxes, such Taxes will be added to the invoice and itemized separately.

  • Sales Tax: Rymeda collects and remits applicable sales tax based on the Customer's billing address and the taxability of SaaS services in the applicable jurisdiction.
  • Tax-Exempt Status: Customers claiming tax-exempt status must provide a valid tax exemption certificate or other documentation acceptable to Rymeda prior to the invoice date. Tax exemption will be applied prospectively from the date Rymeda receives and validates the documentation. Tax-exempt documentation should be submitted to support@rymeda.com.
  • VAT/GST: For Customers outside the United States, applicable VAT or GST will be charged in accordance with the laws of the Customer's jurisdiction. Customers registered for VAT/GST must provide their registration number.
  • Withholding Tax: If the Customer is required to withhold taxes on payments to Rymeda, the Customer must pay Rymeda an additional amount so that Rymeda receives the full invoiced amount after withholding.

9. Refund Policy

9.1 Annual Plan Downgrades

Customers on annual plans who downgrade to a lower tier receive a pro-rata credit for the unused portion of the current Billing Period. The credit is calculated based on the number of full months remaining in the annual term and is applied to future invoices. Pro-rata credits are not refundable as cash.

9.2 Monthly Plans

No refunds are issued for monthly plan cancellations or downgrades. The Customer retains access to the current plan tier through the end of the current monthly Billing Period. The cancellation or downgrade takes effect at the beginning of the next Billing Period.

9.3 Service Failure Refunds

In the event of a documented service failure that falls below the availability commitments in the Service Level Agreement, the Customer is eligible for Service Credits as defined in the SLA. Service Credits are the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for service failures and are applied to future invoices, not issued as cash refunds.

9.4 Erroneous Charges

If Rymeda determines that an erroneous charge has occurred (e.g., duplicate billing, incorrect plan amount), Rymeda will issue a full refund of the erroneous amount to the original Payment Method within ten (10) business days. Customers should report suspected erroneous charges to support@rymeda.com.

10. Price Changes

Rymeda reserves the right to modify its pricing at any time, subject to the following notification and termination rights:

  • Advance Notice: Rymeda will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance written notice of any price increase via email to the account administrator and through an in-platform notification.
  • Current Term Protection: Price increases do not apply to the current Billing Period. For annual plans, the current annual rate is honored through the end of the current annual term.
  • Right to Terminate: If the Customer does not agree to the new pricing, the Customer may terminate their Subscription before the price change effective date without penalty. The Customer retains access through the end of the current Billing Period.
  • Continued Use: Continued use of the Rymeda platform after the price change effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.
  • Enterprise Plans: Pricing for Enterprise plans with executed Order Forms is governed by the terms of the Order Form and is not subject to unilateral price changes during the Order Form term.

11. Marketplace Payments

The Rymeda Marketplace enables providers to buy and sell healthcare products and services. Marketplace payment processing is facilitated through Stripe Connect.

11.1 Stripe Connect

Sellers on the Rymeda Marketplace must create and maintain a Stripe Connect account. By participating in the Marketplace as a seller, you agree to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement, including the Stripe Terms of Service. Rymeda acts as the platform facilitating transactions between buyers and sellers.

11.2 Platform Fee

Rymeda charges a platform fee on each Marketplace transaction. The platform fee is a percentage of the total transaction amount, as published on the Marketplace terms or in the seller's agreement. The platform fee is deducted automatically by Stripe before the remaining funds are disbursed to the seller.

11.3 Seller Payouts

Marketplace sellers receive payouts to their linked bank account on a rolling basis, subject to Stripe's payout schedule (typically two to seven business days after the transaction). Rymeda does not hold or control seller funds; all funds flow through Stripe's escrow and payout system.

11.4 Marketplace Disputes

Disputes between buyers and sellers are initially handled through Rymeda's Marketplace dispute resolution process. If a resolution cannot be reached, the parties may utilize Stripe's dispute and chargeback procedures. Rymeda reserves the right to mediate disputes and issue refunds or credits in its reasonable discretion.

12. Billing Disputes

If the Customer believes any invoice or charge is incorrect, the Customer must notify Rymeda in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date.

  • Written Notice: Billing disputes must be submitted in writing to support@rymeda.com and must include the invoice number, the disputed amount, and a detailed description of the reason for the dispute.
  • Good-Faith Resolution: Rymeda will investigate the dispute in good faith and respond within ten (10) business days. During the investigation, the undisputed portion of the invoice remains due and payable.
  • Suspension Hold: Rymeda will not suspend the Customer's account for non-payment of a bona fide disputed amount while the dispute is being investigated, provided that the Customer has paid all undisputed amounts and the dispute was submitted within the thirty (30) day window.
  • Resolution: If Rymeda determines that the disputed charge was incorrect, Rymeda will issue a credit or refund within ten (10) business days. If Rymeda determines the charge is correct, the Customer must pay the disputed amount within fifteen (15) days of the resolution notice, plus any applicable late payment interest accrued from the original due date.
  • Waiver: Failure to submit a billing dispute within thirty (30) days of the invoice date constitutes acceptance of the charges and waiver of the right to dispute.

13. Insurance Claims & Billing

The Rymeda platform includes features to support healthcare insurance billing workflows. These features are provided as tools for the Customer's use and do not constitute billing services or clearinghouse operations by Rymeda.

13.1 Invoice & CPT Line Items

The platform supports the creation of Invoices with CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) LineItems, enabling providers to generate itemized billing documents for patient encounters. Providers are responsible for the accuracy of CPT codes assigned to their services.

13.2 Claims with ICD-10/CPT Codes

The platform supports the creation of Claims that include ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision) diagnostic codes and CPT procedure codes for insurance billing purposes. ORIS Clinical AI may suggest ICD-10 and CPT codes based on clinical documentation, but all codes must be reviewed and approved by the responsible provider before submission.

Rymeda Is Not a Clearinghouse: Rymeda, Inc. is not a healthcare clearinghouse as defined under HIPAA (45 CFR §160.103). The platform provides tools for creating invoices and claims but does not transmit claims to payers, adjudicate claims, or process remittance advice. Customers are responsible for submitting claims through their designated clearinghouse or payer portal. See the HIPAA Notice for Rymeda's covered entity status.

13.3 Provider Responsibility

The Customer (provider) is solely responsible for:

  • The accuracy and appropriateness of all CPT and ICD-10 codes used in invoices and claims.
  • Compliance with all applicable billing regulations, including the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. §3729) and Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. §1320a-7b).
  • Verification of patient insurance eligibility and benefits.
  • Timely submission of claims to payers through an appropriate clearinghouse.
  • Handling of claim denials, appeals, and resubmissions.

14. Governing Law

These Billing Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Billing disputes that cannot be resolved through the process described in Section 12 are subject to the dispute resolution provisions of the Terms of Service.
