Terms of Service & Privacy Agreement

Your privacy and trust in us is very important. Below you will find all of the documentation to protect you and this relationship that we value so much.

Terms of Service Agreement

We want to thank you for using ACT Dental U’s coaching, products, services, memberships, tools, websites, and apps. Our customers are the most important aspect of our business and we appreciate you looking to ACT Dental U to further your business. ACT Dental U offers our customers a platform to improve their businesses. The entire selection of education, classes, videos, products, services and tools offered on our Platform are our “Product”.

 

This Terms of Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) contains the terms under which ACT Dental U provides our Product to you and describes how the Product may be accessed and used.

 

You must read, agree, and accept all terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and expressly referenced in this Agreement, including ACT Dental U’s Acceptable Use Policy, Anti-Spam Policy, Privacy Policy, and if applicable the ACT Dental U Data Processing Addendum, all of which can be found in our Legal and Policy Center, before you subscribe for our Product. We refer to the combination of this Agreement and all additional terms and policies included in the Legal and Policy Center collectively as these “Terms.”

 

If you will be using the Product on behalf of an entity or other organization, you agree to these Terms on behalf of that entity or organization and you represent that you have such authority. “You” and “your” will refer to that entity or organization.

 

When you subscribe to our Product, or otherwise use or access the Platform or the Product, you agree to be bound by these Terms and applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You may be asked to click “I accept” at the appropriate place prior to your purchase of access to our Product. At such time, if you do not click “I accept”, you may not be able to complete your purchase or access our Platform. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our Product in any way.

 

ACT Dental U is an education provider. Our users, entrepreneurs, customers, and partners are not our employees. We are not responsible for any interactions between you and your customers, students, subscribers, or users (collectively, “End-Users”), other than providing the technology for you to make your content available. We are in no way liable for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that may arise out of your relationship with your End-User, including any End-Users reliance upon any information or content that you provide.

 

1. Fees and Payments

1.1. Fees for our Product. You agree to pay ACT Dental U any fees for each Product you purchase or use in accordance with the pricing and payment terms presented to you for that Product. Where applicable, you will be billed using the billing method you select through your account management page. If you have elected to pay the fees by credit card, you represent and warrant that the credit card information you provide is correct and you will promptly notify ACT Dental U of any changes to such information. Fees paid by you are non-refundable, except as provided in these Terms or when required by law.

 

1.2. Subscriptions. Our Product is billed on a subscription basis (“Subscriptions”). This means that you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a “billing cycle”). Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. Payment will be charged to your chosen payment method at confirmation of purchase and at the start of every new billing cycle. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel your account through your online account management page or by contacting us at info@actdental.com prior to the end of the billing cycle. While we will never want to lose a customer, you may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription at any time, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of that billing cycle before terminating. You may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription immediately after the Subscription starts if you do not want it to renew.

If you initially sign up for a plan that includes a free or discounted trial period, and you do not cancel that account before the stated trial period expires, you will be billed for the full price of the plan starting on the day the trial period ends. If you cancel prior to the processing of your first invoice following the trial period, you will not be charged.

 

We, through our third-party providers (Stripe) will keep your detailed payment information, such as non-sensitive credit card partial numbers and expiration date, on file. We do not access this information, except through provided programmatic methods by the provider(s). You are responsible for keeping your payment details up-to-date by changing the details in your account settings. When your details change or are due to expire, we may obtain or receive from your payment provider updated payment details, including your card number, expiration date, and CVV (or equivalent). This enables us to provide you access to the Product. You authorize us to continue to charge your credit card using the updated information. If a payment is not successfully authorized due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, we may suspend or terminate your subscription until applicable changes have occurred. You also agree that we may charge you via your payment method on file if you elect to restart your subscription.

 

Any change (including any upgrade, downgrade or other modification) to any plan by you in a trial period will end the trial immediately. You will be billed for your first term period (i.e. the first annual or monthly period) immediately upon upgrading. For any upgrade or downgrade in plan level after any trial period, your credit, debit, or other payment card will automatically be charged the new rate on your next billing cycle. You will be billed immediately for the prorated difference for the current billing cycle for any upgrade to any higher priced plan during that billing cycle. If a plan downgrade causes a credit to your account, this credit will be used toward your next billing cycle(s). This credit will not be refunded.

 

1.3. Taxes. Our prices listed do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature such as value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”) unless otherwise indicated. You are responsible for paying Taxes associated with your purchase and keeping your billing information up to date.

 

(a) United States Sales Tax. If we have a legal obligation to pay or collect sales tax for which you are responsible, we will calculate the sales tax based upon the billing information we have about you and charge you that amount (which, if your billing information is incomplete or inaccurate, may be the highest prevailing rate then in effect), unless you provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate acceptable to the appropriate taxing authority.

 

If you provide us with a tax exemption certificate, you represent and warrant that it accurately reflects your tax status and that you will keep such document current and accurate.

 

If we subsequently determine in our sole discretion that your tax exemption document is valid, we will refund the sales tax collected.

(b) Non-United States Sales Tax. If applicable, we will charge you VAT, GST, or any other sales, consumption or use taxes that arise in connection with your purchases of our Product unless you provide us with a tax identification number that entitles you to an exemption, a valid tax exemption certificate or other documentary proof issued by an appropriate taxing authority that tax should not be charged. If you are located in a jurisdiction with multiple sales, consumption, or use taxes, we may charge you the highest prevailing rate if your billing information is incomplete or inaccurate.

 

If you are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to ACT Dental U, you must provide ACT Dental U with an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support such payments.

 

1.4. Price Changes. ACT Dental U may change the fees charged to you for the Services at any time, provided that, for Product billed on a subscription basis, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of your Subscription. ACT Dental U will provide you with advance notice of any change in fees and you will have the opportunity to cancel your Subscription as set forth in Section 1.2.

If the claim is for alleged copyright infringement, we are required to respond in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that your work has been exploited in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us in accordance with our Copyright (“DMCA”) Policy.

If you use the Product to accept payment card transactions, you must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) to the extent they are applicable to your business (the “PCI Standards”). ACT Dental U provides tools to simplify your compliance with the PCI Standards, but it is your responsibility to ensure that your business is compliant. The specific steps you will need to take to comply with the PCI Standards will depend on your implementation of the Product.

 

9.2. Cardholder Data. ACT Dental U does not have access to, collect, transmit, store, or process any Cardholder Data on your behalf. We have partnered with payment providers Stripe and PayPal regarding all End-User payments and so that our customers may achieve their compliance obligations with PCI DSS. “Cardholder Data” is defined as a cardholder’s primary account number (PAN), and where a full unmasked card number is present, any of the following elements: cardholder name, expiration date, and/or service code.

Appropriate fields are clearly marked with labels such as ‘Card number’ or by having a credit card icon precede them. Similarly, excluding payment forms, you must never collect or enter any “Sensitive Authentication Data”, as defined by the PCI Standards (including CVC or CVV2) into any fields in the Product. You assume all responsibility for any Cardholder Data entered into the Product in violation of these Terms.

 

10. Suspension and Termination of Services

10.1. By You. You can terminate your Subscription and delete your account at any time through your account management page or by email to info@actdental.com . Such termination and deletion will result in the deactivation or disablement of your account and access to it, and the deletion of content you collected through use of the Product. Terminations are confirmed immediately and you will not be charged again for that Subscription unless you purchase a new one. If you terminate a Subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, you will not receive a refund unless you are terminating these Terms for any of the following reasons: (a) we have materially breached these Terms and failed to cure that breach within 30 days after you have so notified us in writing; (b) a refund is required by law; or (c) we, in our sole discretion, determine a refund is appropriate. For clarity, we will not grant a refund where you have used our Product, unless the termination is due to our material, uncured breach or a refund is required by law.

 

10.2. By ACT Dental U. ACT Dental U may terminate your Subscription for any reason at the end of a billing cycle by providing at least 30 days’ prior written notice to you and you will not be charged for the next billing cycle. ACT Dental U may terminate your Subscription for any reason by providing at least 90 days’ written notice to you and will provide a pro rata refund for any period of time you did not use in that billing cycle. ACT Dental U may immediately suspend performance or terminate your Subscription for any of the following reasons: (a) you have materially breached these Terms, in our sole discretion, and failed to cure that breach within 30 days after we have notified you in writing of such breach; or (b) you cease your business operations or become subject to insolvency proceedings and the proceedings are not dismissed within 90 days. Additionally, ACT Dental U may immediately limit, suspend, or terminate the Product to you: (i) if, in our sole discretion, you fail to comply with these Terms; (ii) if, in our sole discretion, you use the Product in a way that causes legal liability to us or disrupts others’ use of the Product; or (iii) we are investigating suspected misconduct by you. Also, if we limit, suspend, or terminate the Product you receive, depending upon the reason, we will endeavor to give you advance notice and an opportunity to obtain a copy of your Content from that Service. However, there may be time sensitive situations where ACT Dental U may decide that we need to take immediate action without notice. ACT Dental U will use commercially reasonable efforts to narrow the scope and duration of any limitation or suspension under this Section as is needed to resolve the issue that prompted such action. ACT Dental U has no obligation to retain your Content upon termination of the applicable Service.

 

10.3. Further Measures. If ACT Dental U stops providing the Product to you because you repeatedly or egregiously breach these Terms, ACT Dental U may take measures to prevent your further use of the Product, including blocking your IP address.

 

11. Changes and Updates

11.1. Changes to Terms. You acknowledge and agree that ACT Dental U may change these Terms at any time for a variety of reasons, such as to reflect changes in applicable law or updates to Product, and to account for new Products or functionality. The most current version will always be posted on our website in our Legal and Policy center. If an amendment is material, as determined in ACT Dental U’s sole discretion, we may notify you by email and/or posting it to our website or upon your login to your account. Changes will be effective no sooner than the day they are publicly posted, and apply to all access to and use of the Product thereafter. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice before the date the change is posted. If you do not want to agree to any changes made to the Terms, you should stop using the Product, because by continuing to use the Product you indicate your agreement to be bound by the updated terms.

 

11.2. Changes to the Product and Services. We are continually changing and improving our Product. ACT Dental U may add, alter, or remove functionality from a Service it provides to you at any time without prior notice. ACT Dental U may also limit, suspend, or discontinue a Service provided to you at our discretion. If we discontinue a Service, we will give you reasonable advance notice to provide you with an opportunity to obtain a copy of your Content from that Service. ACT Dental U may remove content from the Product it provides you at any time in our sole discretion, although we will endeavor to notify you before we do that if it materially impacts you and if practicable under the circumstances.

 

11.3. Downgrades. Downgrading your account plan may cause the loss of content, features, functionality, or capacity of your account.

 

12. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability

12.1. Disclaimers. While ACT Dental U strives to provide you with a great experience when using the Product (and we love to please our customers), there are certain things we do not promise about our Product. We try to keep our Product up, but they may be unavailable from time to time for various reasons. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PRODUCT AND ANY INFORMATION, GUIDANCE, OR RECOMMENDATIONS THEREIN ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ACT Dental U DOES NOT MAKE WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING AVAILABILITY, RELIABILITY, OR ACCURACY OF THE PRODUCT.

12.3. Limitation of Liability. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EACH OF ACT Dental U, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRODUCT AND THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ACT Dental U FOR USE OF THE PRODUCT AT ISSUE DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY.

 

12.4. Consumers. We acknowledge that the laws of certain jurisdictions provide legal rights to consumers that may not be overridden by contract or waived by those consumers. If you are such a consumer, nothing in these Terms limits any of those consumer rights.

 

13. Indemnification

13.1. General. You agree that you are solely and exclusively responsible for your website and mobile applications and the entirety of your Content. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless ACT Dental U and its affiliates, officers, agents, licensors, and employees from all liabilities, damages, and costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of a third party claim regarding or in connection with (a) your or your end users’ use of the Product; (b) breach of these Terms or violation of applicable law by you, your users, or your Content, websites, mobile applications, or business; or (c) a dispute between you and your users.

 

13.2. Intellectual Property. You will defend ACT Dental U and its affiliates, officers, agents, licensors, and employees from all liabilities, damages, and costs (including settlement costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of a third party claim alleging that any of your Content infringes or misappropriates that third party’s intellectual property rights, and will pay the amount of any adverse final judgment or settlement.

 

13.3. Process. We will (a) endeavor to give you prompt written notice of the claim; (b) permit you to control the defense and settlement of the claim; and (c) reasonably cooperate with you in the defense and settlement of the claim. In no event will you agree to any settlement of any claim that requires a commitment by us, without our written consent.

14.1. Resolving Disputes. If you have a concern, we want to first try to address it without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against ACT Dental U, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting legal@kajbi.com. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days of submission, you or ACT Dental U may bring a formal proceeding.

 

14.2. Judicial Forum for Disputes. You and ACT Dental U agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to these Terms or the Product will be brought in the federal or state courts of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions below. Both you and ACT Dental U consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts. If you reside in a country (for example, a member state of the European Union) with laws that give consumers the right to bring disputes in their local courts, this paragraph doesn’t affect those requirements.

 

14.3. Mandatory Arbitration Provisions. IF YOU’RE A U.S. RESIDENT, YOU ALSO AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:

 

We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and ACT Dental U agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Product through final and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity.

 

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate within 30 days of first registering your account by contacting us at info@actdental.com Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Milwaukee County, WI, or any other location we agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address.

 

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or ACT Dental U may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Milwaukee County, WI, or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Product, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin to resolve your claim.

 

NO CLASS ACTIONS. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Mandatory Arbitration Provisions” section will be deemed void.

 

14.4. Governing Law. These Terms, will be governed by Wisconsin law except for its conflicts of laws principles. However, some countries (including those in the European Union) have laws that require agreements to be governed by the local laws of the consumer’s country. This paragraph doesn’t override those laws.

 

15. Other Terms

15.1. Assignment. You may not assign these Terms or your rights to use our Product without ACT Dental U’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. ACT Dental U may assign these Terms at any time without notice to you.

 

15.2. Entire Agreement. These Terms, and any other policy located in our Legal and Policy Center constitute the entire agreement between you and ACT Dental U, and they supersede any other prior or contemporaneous agreements, terms and conditions, written or oral concerning its subject matter.

 

15.3. Independent Contractors. The relationship between you and ACT Dental U is that of independent contractors, and not legal partners, employees, or agents of each other.

 

15.4. Interpretation. The use of the terms “includes”, “including”, “such as”, and similar terms, will be deemed not to limit what else might be included.

 

15.5. No Waiver. A party’s failure or delay to enforce a provision under these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

 

15.7. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be severed and the remainder of terms will remain in full effect.

 

15.8. Third Party Beneficiaries. There are no third party beneficiaries to these Terms.

 

15.9. Survival. The following sections will survive the termination of these Terms: 1, 2.2, 3, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15.‍
