Valsoft Corporation Inc., operating as Chordline Health, has filed a lawsuit against Atrio Health Plans, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina on February 5, 2026. The complaint accuses Atrio of unlawfully repudiating a software license agreement and failing to pay due license fees.
The dispute centers around a software license agreement initially established between Atrio and Trinity Computer Services, Inc., which was later assigned to Valsoft Corporation through an Asset Purchase Agreement executed on February 11, 2025. Valsoft claims that Atrio breached the contract by not paying outstanding invoices for Chordline’s ACUITYnxt software services and by indicating its intention to exit the agreement prematurely. According to the complaint, this amounts to anticipatory repudiation of the contract.
Chordline’s ACUITYnxt is a cloud-based healthcare management software that Atrio began using in January 2023 after transitioning from an earlier version called ACUITY. The parties had agreed upon various amendments to their Terms of Service over time, including provisions regarding termination fees and auto-renewal terms. However, on November 10, 2025, Atrio allegedly informed Chordline of its intention to stop payments after December 31, 2025—despite the contract being valid until September 30, 2026.
Chordline’s Vice President Nick Martin sent a formal notice of breach to Atrio’s President Jennifer Callahan on November 19, 2025. Despite extending payment deadlines, Atrio failed to settle outstanding invoices or subsequent ones issued for services rendered in late 2025. Consequently, Chordline terminated the Terms of Service and suspended services on December 8, 2025.
In response to these alleged breaches and defaults by Atrio, Chordline seeks monetary damages exceeding $75,000 along with associated costs such as attorneys’ fees and court expenses. They also demand payment of termination fees as stipulated in their contractual agreements.
The legal team representing Valsoft Corporation includes Gregory L. Skidmore, Fitz E. Barringer, and Caroline H. Reinwald from Robinson Bradshaw & Hinson P.A., based in Charlotte North Carolina. The case is under Case ID No. 7:26-cv-20.
