ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause gives Epic a contractual right to inspect the user's financial records, which has direct implications for compliance verification and potential royalty or fee disputes.

Interpretive note: The excerpt references 'those books and records' with a demonstrative that implies a prior antecedent defining which records are in scope; that antecedent is not included in the excerpt, so the precise scope of records subject to audit cannot be confirmed from the quoted language alone.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

You must permit Epic or its designated representatives to audit your books and records, provided they give you reasonable prior notice.
