TENTH REVISION, CANADA
VERSION 2015
PDF FILE LICENCE AGREEMENT

The terms and conditions below form a binding agreement between the “Licensee” (as defined below)
and the Canadian Institute for Health Information (“CIHI”), a not-for-profit Canadian corporation having
offices at 495 Richmond Road, Suite 600, Ottawa, Ontario, K2A 4H6, Phone: [phone], Fax: 613-
241-8120, Email: [email protected].

1. The “Licensee” is a corporation, government agency, or individual wishing to use the:
 The Tenth Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related
Health Problems, as modified for Canadian use (“ICD-10-CA”), with or without
 The system of procedure codes entitled the Canadian Classification of Health
Interventions (the “CCI”).

2. In order to use the ICD-10-CA and/or the CCI (“ICD-10-CA/CCI”) provided as a PDF file, the
Licensee must accept the terms of this agreement. The Licensee’s use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI
indicates the Licensee has agreed to be bound by this agreement. If the Licensee does not or
cannot agree to any of this agreement’s terms or conditions, the Licensee may not use the ICD-
10-CA/CCI. Note:
 If you wish to use the ICD-10-CA/CCI on behalf of your employer, you must have your
employer’s authorisation because such use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI will make your
employer the Licensee and legally bind your employer to these terms.
 When the terms of this agreement bind your employer, you as the Licensee’s employee
are also bound.
 The terms of this agreement apply to the ICD-10-CA/CCI provided as a PDF file, not to
another ICD-10-CA/CCI provided by CIHI to the Licensee under separate terms.

3. This agreement is effective immediately upon the Licensee’s first use (“Licence
Commencement”) of the ICD-10-CA/CCI.

4. This section intentionally left blank.

OWNERSHIP AND COPYRIGHT NOTICES
5. The Licensee acknowledges the ownership of the Tenth Revision of the International Statistical
Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, or ICD-10, by the World Health
Organization (the “WHO”) and the ownership of the ICD-10-CA and CCI by CIHI, and that CIHI
and the WHO retain all their respective rights in and title to these products.

6. The Licensee obtains no title in or other rights to the ICD-10-CA/CCI beside those use rights
expressly granted to the Licensee by this agreement.

7. Reproductions of all or part of the ICD-10-CA/CCI made and/or used by the Licensee will employ
the following notices to acknowledge CIHI’s and the WHO’s ownership of the ICD-10-CA/CCI:

LICENCE AND USE RESTRICTIONS
8. (a) CIHI grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to make non-commercial
use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI in Canada for the purposes of the Licensee’s own research, study,
and/or data collection and analysis during the term of this agreement (“Licensed Use”). For
clarity, the Licensee may
 Make copies of the ICD-10-CA/CCI for backup purposes,
 Not alter or other change the ICD-10-CA/CCI,
 Not further distribute to others or sub-licence use of ICD-10-CA/CCI except as this
agreement expressly permits, and
 Not make any commercial use, such as incorporating the ICD-10-CA/CCI into any
product that is or may be sold to others.

(b) The Licensee may authorise as many of its employees to use and reproduce parts of the ICD-
10-CA/CCI on the Licensee’s behalf in compliance with the provisions of this agreement as are
reasonably necessary for the Licensee’s legitimate needs.

9. This section intentionally left blank.

10. Any use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI not expressly and clearly permitted under this agreement,
including but not limited to modification or commercial use, requires CIHI’s express, prior, written
authorisation under a separate agreement and may, at CIHI’s option, require the payment of
licence fees.

11. The Licensee may not use the ICD-10-CA/CCI in any manner that could reasonably be seen as
competing with CIHI’s business in Canada or with any CIHI-licensed software producers.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
12. The ICD-10-CA/CCI is provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind, including but not
limited to warranties of fitness for a particular purpose. The Licensee bears all risks associated
with use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI.

TERM AND TERMINATION
13. The term of this agreement begins at the Licence Commencement and ends when the Licensee
has deleted or destroyed its copies, including partial copies, of the ICD-10-CA/CCI in its
possession or control, unless the agreement is terminated earlier.

14. Due to the nature of the licence granted by CIHI above, CIHI may immediately terminate this
agreement for convenience, or if the Licensee is in breach of any provision of this agreement, by
providing the Licensee with notice. The Licensee may terminate this agreement for convenience
upon 30 days’ notice to CIHI.

15. This section intentionally left blank.

16. The Licensee will not make any use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI after the termination of this agreement
by CIHI without CIHI’s express, prior, written authorisation.

NOTICE
17. Due to the nature of the distribution of the ICD-10-CA/CCI, the Licensee will be deemed to have
been given notice by CIHI upon CIHI posting the notice on CIHI’s website if the Licensee did not
provide its correct Contact Information, or updated Contact Information, to CIHI as required by
this agreement.

18. Any notice to be given by the Licensee to CIHI will be directed to the attention of the Manager of
Classifications & Terminologies, at the Canadian Institute for Health Information, 495 Richmond
Road, Suite 600, Ottawa, Ontario, K2A 4H6, Fax: [phone], email: [email protected].
19. All notices and other communications between the parties and related to this agreement will be in
writing. For clarity, writing contained in electronic mail is acceptable for the purposes of this
section.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT INFRINGEMENT
20. If Licensee becomes aware of any infringement of CIHI’s intellectual property rights in the ICD-
10-CA/CCI, the Licensee will promptly notify CIHI and use commercially reasonable efforts to
help CIHI protect those rights.

21. In the event of a claim alleging infringement of intellectual property rights involving the Licensee
and relating to the ICD-10-CA/CCI, CIHI will, in its sole discretion, elect to defend or settle the
claim. The Licensee will take all steps and provide all documents and other things requested by
CIHI to assist in settling or defending, as the case may be, such a claim.

22. This section intentionally left blank.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
23. In no event will CIHI or the WHO be liable to the licensee for any damages whatsoever, including
without limitation direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, even if CIHI has
been advised of the possibility of such damage or claim, or it is foreseeable. CIHI shall have no
liability to the licensee for any damage or loss of any kind arising out of or resulting from the
licensee’s possession or use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI regardless of whether such liability is based
in tort (including negligence), contract (including fundamental breach) or otherwise in connection
with this agreement. The limitations of this section shall apply whether or not the alleged breach
or default is a breach of a fundamental condition or term.

INDEMNITY
24. The Licensee shall indemnify CIHI and the WHO from and against all claims, damages, losses,
actions, and other proceedings, reasonable costs, and expenses (including legal fees),
howsoever caused, including without limitation, breach of contract, strict liability, tort (including
negligence) or any other legal or equitable theory, resulting from or arising out of the Licensee’s
use of the ICD-10-CA/CCI.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
25. This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject
matter.
26. Sections 5, 6, 16, 21, 23, 24, and 31 survive the termination or expiration of this agreement and
continue in full force and effect.
27. If any provision (in whole or in part) of this agreement is deemed void, invalid, illegal or
unenforceable by a court or other lawful authority, the agreement will continue in force with the
void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision eliminated.
28. A party's failure or delay to exercise any right or obligation under this agreement will not preclude
that party from exercising the right or obligation in the future.
29. The Licensee may not assign this agreement without CIHI’s prior, express, written consent.
30. This agreement may only be amended by the mutual agreement of the parties in writing.
31. This agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws in force in the
Canadian province of Ontario without regard to its conflicts-of-laws provisions. The Licensee

Conventions used in the Alphabetical Index
Parentheses
In the Index, as in the Tabular List, parentheses have a special meaning. A term that is followed by other terms in parentheses is
classified to the given code number whether any of the terms in parentheses are reported or not. For example:
Abscess (embolic) (infective) (metastatic) (multiple) (pyogenic) (septic) brain (any part) G06.0
Brain abscess is classified to G06.0 regardless of the part of the organ affected and whether or not the abscess is described as
embolic, infective, metastatic, multiple, pyogenic, or septic.
Cross-references
Some categories, particularly those subject to notes linking them with other categories, require rather complex indexing
arrangements. To avoid repeating this arrangement for each of the inclusion terms involved, a cross-reference is used. This may
take a number of forms, as in the following examples:
Inflammation
- bone - see Osteomyelitis
This indicates that the term "Inflammation, bone" is to be coded in the same way as the term "Osteomyelitis". On looking up the
latter term, the coder will find listed various forms of osteomyelitis: acute, acute hematogenous, chronic, etc.
When a term has a number of modifiers which might be listed beneath more than one term, the cross-reference (see also ...) is used.
Paralysis
- shaking (see also Parkinsonism) G20)
If the term "shaking paralysis" is the only term on the medical record, the code number is G20, but if any other information is present
which is not found indented below, then reference should be made to "Parkinsonism". There alternative codes will be found for the
condition if further or otherwise qualified as, for example, due to drugs or syphilitic.
Enlargement, enlarged - see also Hypertrophy
If the site for enlargement is not found among the indentations beneath "Enlargement", the indentations beneath "Hypertrophy"
should be referred to, where a more complete list of sites is given.
Bladder - see condition
Hereditary - see condition
As stated previously, anatomical sites and very general adjectival modifiers are not usually used as lead terms in the Index and one
is instructed to look up the disease or injury reported on the medical record and under that term to find the site or adjectival modifier.
Abdomen, abdominal - see also condition
- acute R10.0
- convulsive equivalent G40.8
- muscle deficiency syndrome Q79.4
The term "acute abdomen" is coded to R10.0; "abdominal convulsive equivalent" is coded to G40.8; and "abdominal muscle
deficiency syndrome" is coded to Q79.4. For other abdominal conditions, one should look up the disease or injury reported.

INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES
Abbreviation NEC
The letters NEC stand for "not elsewhere classified". They are added after terms classified to residual or unspecific categories and
to terms in themselves ill defined as a warning that specified forms of the conditions are classified differently. If the medical record
includes more precise information the coding should be modified accordingly, e.g.
Anomaly, anomalous (congenital) (unspecified type) Q89.9
aorta (arch) NEC Q25.4
The term "anomaly of aorta" is classified to Q25.4 only if no more precise description appears on the medical record. If a more
precise term, e.g. atresia or aorta, is recorded, this term should be looked up for the appropriate code.
Special signs
The following special signs will be found attached to certain code numbers or index terms:
†/*Dagger and asterisk used to designate the etiology code and the manifestation code respectively, for terms subject to dual
classification.
# Attached to certain terms in the list of sites under "Neoplasm" to refer the coder to Notes 2 and 3, respectively, at the start of
that list.
