Terms of Service

These terms of service (these “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Studental Inc. (“Studental”, “we”, “us” or “our”) governing your use of our website at [studental.ca] (including any subdomain or localized version) (the “Site”), our iOS and Android mobile applications, and our services for connecting potential patients seeking dental care services with potential dental care providers (collectively, the “Service”).

If you are using the Service on behalf of, or in the employ of, an organization (corporation, trust, partnership, etc.), you are agreeing to the Terms for that organization and representing and warranting that you have the authority to bind that organization to the Terms. In such a case, “you”, “your” and “User” will also refer to that organization and yourself individually. For greater clarity, both you as an individual and your organization are legally bound by these Terms which form an agreement between you and Studental.

By agreeing to these Terms and/or accessing or using the Services, you expressly acknowledge that you understand these Terms and accept all of its terms and conditions. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HERE IN, YOU MAY NOT USE OR ACCESS THE SERVICE.

1. Studental Services

• Service Offering. The Service facilitates the connection between potential patients seeking certain dental care service offerings (“Patients”) with dental clinics who are registered account holders on the Service (each a “Clinic” and collectively, the “Clinics”) and dental care providers who practice with each such Clinic (each a “Dental Provider” and collectively, the “Dental Providers”). On the Service, Dental Providers may promote their service offerings to Patients and each Patient may, in their sole discretion, book an appointment with such Dental Provider. Patients and Dental Providers are both referred to in these Terms as “Users”.
• Disclaimer. The Service merely facilitates the connection and the booking of appointments between Patients and Dental Providers. Neither Studental nor the Service will assist in facilitating the payments for service offerings. Studental will not be a party to any agreement or contract, verbal or otherwise, between a Patient and a Clinic/Dental Provider. As such, you acknowledge that we do not provide, offer, recommend, endorse or make any representations or warranties about the quality of the dental care services provided by Dental Providers (“Dental Care Services”) through the Service or otherwise and that all Dental Care Services are provided by the Dental Providers who are independent of and are not employed by us or any of our affiliates. Each Clinic and Healthcare Provider is solely responsible for all services or products (dental, healthcare related or otherwise) offered, provided or sold to you; all communications with you; and all of their actions through the Service and otherwise, including, without limitation, compliance with standards of care and applicable law; record keeping; collection, use, retention, dissemination and disclosure of your personal health information shared with them; and other professional obligations they may have. You assume all risks associated with dealing, and you are solely responsible for all dealings, with any Clinic and/or Dental Provider with whom you connect with through the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be responsible or liable for the performance or conduct of Dental Providers or Patients, whether online or offline. While we conduct an initial review of Dental Providers profiles and require Dental Providers to upload Verifying Information (as defined below), we do not facilitate background checks or otherwise screen Dental Providers or Patients and, therefore, do not warrant that any Dental Provider or Patient profile is accurate, complete, conclusive or up-to-date. You should exercise caution and use your independent judgment before engaging a Clinic/Dental Provider, providing Dental Care Services, or otherwise interacting with Users via the Service.

2. Eligibility to Use the Service

The Service may only be used by individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law and is not available to persons under the age of majority in your province or territory of residence or Users who have had their User Account temporarily or permanently deactivated. You must be over the age of majority in your province or territory of residence in order to register for a User Account (as defined below).

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to decline Dental Providers or Patients for a User Account or to access the Services, following review of your Registration Data.

4. User Accounts; Registration Data; Account Security; Verifying Information

Where permitted, Studental has the right, but not the obligation, to undertake screenings, checks, and processes designed to check your Verifying Information. Upon a Dental Provider’s completion of the application process, Studental, in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, shall determine whether the applicant is eligible to be a Dental Provider. If approved, Studental shall register the Dental Provider for a Dental Provider Account and thereafter, the Dental Provider shall be permitted to promote its Dental Care Service offerings and connect with Patients, in accordance with and subject to these Terms.

• Misrepresentation of Relationship.

6. Fees, Refunds and Cancellation

• Fees to access and use the Service. As a Patient, you can register for a User Account and use the Service without the payment of any fees. We reserve the right to introduce or change a fee on or related to the access and use of the Service from time to time. If a fee is changed or a new fee is introduced, it will take effect no earlier than 30 days from the date it is posted on the Service, your User Account or as otherwise communicated to you in writing by Studental. If you do not accept the changed or new fee, you must terminate your User Account prior to the end of the 30-day period. After such period, if your User Account is not terminated, your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the change indicates your agreement with the new fees.
• Payment Processing. Users may be required to provide a credit card, other payment and/or banking information when registering for a User Account. If and when you add a credit card, payment method and/or banking information to a User Account, you authorize us to provide this information to our third party payment processor.

You agree to review our third party payment processor’s terms and policies. Studental reserves the right to switch payment processing vendors in its discretion.

7. Ownership, Copyright and Trademarks

• User Content. Content (as defined below) provided by Users is called “User Content”. User Content is the property of its respective owners (e.g. the User that inputted it). User Content on the Service may include posted text, images, Registration Data, reviews, information in your profile on the Service, communication between Users, Verifying Information and other data uploaded by a User to the Service. Studental’s only right to use that User Content is the limited licenses to it granted in these Terms. Those licenses are described in Section 9 below.
• Ownership, Copyright and Trademarks. Other than User Content, the Service (including the Content thereon) and any other software used to create and operate the Service is the property of Studental or its licensors, and is protected by Canadian and international copyright laws, and all rights to the Service, such content and such software are expressly reserved. All trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned in the Service are the property of their respective owners.
• Responsibility. Your User Content is your responsibility. We have no responsibility or liability for it, or for any loss or damage your User Content may cause to you or other people. Although we have no obligation to do so, we have the absolute discretion to remove, screen or edit without notice any User Content posted or stored on the Service, and we may do this at any time and for any reason. You are solely responsible for maintaining copies of and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Service.

8. License to Use the Service, License Restrictions and Restricted Activities

• Content. In these Terms, the content on the Service, whether made available to you or provided by you, including, without limitation, all User Content, information, data, logos, marks, designs, graphics, pictures, sound files, other files, and their selection and arrangement, is called “Content”.
• License. Studental grants to you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable license to use and access the Service and to view the Content available to you through the Service (“License”).
• License Restrictions and Restricted Activities. Other than as expressly permitted in these Terms, the Service, the Content and the License are subject to the following restrictions and account terms:
  • The Service (including your User Account) is for your use only. You may not resell, lease or provide it in any other way to anyone else, except as permitted through the Service.
  • You may not make or distribute copies of the Service.
  • You may not alter, merge or translate the Service, or decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or otherwise reduce the Service to a human-perceivable form.
  • You may not modify, reproduce or create derivative works based on the Service or the Content.
  • You may not use the Service for any application deployment or ultimate production purpose.
  • You may not use the Service to develop any application, offering or service having the same or similar primary function as the Service.
  • You may not remove or modify any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices that have been placed in the Content.
  • You may not otherwise use the Service or the Content other than for its intended purpose.
  • You may not (i) impersonate any person or entity; or (ii) stalk, threaten, abuse, molest, injure or otherwise harass or cause physical harm to any person.
  • Except as expressly permitted above, any use of any portion of the Content without the prior written permission of its owner is strictly prohibited and will terminate the license granted in this Section, these Terms and your User Account with us. Any such unauthorized use may also violate applicable laws, including without limitation copyright and trademark laws.
  • Unless explicitly stated here in, nothing in these Terms may be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. The License in this Section is revocable by Studental at any time.
  • Your use of the Service and the Content must not infringe or violate the rights of any other party, breach any contract or legal duty to any other parties or violate any applicable law (including, without limitation, any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary rights).
  • You may not (i) index, scrape, “data mine”, survey or in any way reproduce or circumvent the navigational structure or presentation of the Service; or (ii) link directly or indirectly to any other websites, applications or services.
  • You may not provide information or act in a manner that is false, inaccurate, misleading (directly or by omission or failure to update information), defamatory, libelous, abusive, obscene, profane, offensive, sexually-oriented, threatening, harassing, hateful or illegal.
  • You may not transfer or sell your User Account, password and/or identification to any other party.
  • You must comply with and abide by the User Content Guidelines (as defined below).

9. Your Limited License of Your User Content to Studental

• Ownership. We do not claim any ownership interest in your User Content, but we do need the right to use your User Content to the extent necessary to provide the Service, now and in the future. For example, if you, a Dental Provider, creates a profile page with photographs and other information about the Dental Care Services you provide, we need your license to display that User Content on the Service, and we need the right to sublicense that User Content to other Users of the Service so that they can view that User Content.
• License. Therefore, by posting or distributing User Content to or through the Service, you (a) grant Studental and its affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to use, display, perform, reproduce, distribute, publish, modify, adapt, translate and create derivative works from such User Content, in the manner in and for the purposes which the Service from time to time use such User Content; (b) represent and warrant that (i) you own and control all of the rights to the User Content, or otherwise have the lawful right to post and distribute that User Content, to or through the Service; and (ii) the use and posting or other transmission of such User Content does not violate these Terms (including the restrictions described Section 10 below).
• Sublicense. If your User Content is intended for the use of other Users, you also grant us and our affiliates and subsidiaries a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable right to sublicense such User Content to such Users for their use in connection with their use of the Service, as described in this Section.
• Rights Granted. These licenses from you are non-exclusive because you have the right to use your User Content elsewhere. They are royalty-free because we are not required to pay you for the use of your User Content on the Service. And they are transferable because we need the right to transfer these licenses to any successor operator of the Service. Our rights to “modify, adapt, translate, and create derivative works from” are necessary because the normal operation of the Service does this to your User Content when it processes it for use on the Service.

10. User Content Guidelines and Reviews Guidelines

• General. The Service may permit Users to upload or input User Content, including ratings and reviews of other Users. User Content submitted to any public area of the Service will be considered non-confidential.
• User Content Guidelines. You agree not to post, upload to, transmit, distribute, store, create or otherwise publish through the Service any of the following (“User Content Guidelines”):
  • any message, data, information, text, music, sound, photos, graphics, code or other material that is unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, hateful, harassing, racist, prejudiced, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable in the sole opinion of Studental;
  • content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, provincial, state, national or international law;
  • content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party;
  • private information of any third party, including without limitation, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and credit card numbers, unless that third party has expressly consented to such use;
  • viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files; or
  • content that is unrelated to the use of the Service.
• Review Guidelines. Reviews posted on the Service must comply with the following (“Review Guidelines”):
  • Users who wish to post a review of another User must have a User Account;
  • reviews must be helpful and reasonable and must only accurately describe the true experience that the User had with such other User (i.e. no hearsay);
  • reviews must be legal and must not infringe the rights of any party;
  • reviews must comply with the User Content Guidelines above; and
  • reviews may not be of a commercial nature (including the posting of any web addresses, links, HTML or other coding or promotional items).
• Violation of Guidelines. Reviews on the Service are the sole, subjective opinion of the Users who posted them. Studental does not endorse any of the reviews posted on the Service and reserves the right to review and/or delete a review for any reason, including, but not limited to a contravention of this Section. If you believe that a review was written in a manner that contravenes these Terms, you may request the removal of such review through the Service. Any use of the Service or portions of the Service in violation of the foregoing violates the Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Service. We have no obligation to provide you with the content of any reviews about you submitted by other Users of the Service, whether before or after deactivation of your account for the Service. We will have no liability to you for any deletion, disclosure, loss or modification of these reviews.

11. Security of the Service

To ensure reliability and to protect the User Content, we use high grade hosting services and security technologies that we believe will provide you with a secure and safe environment. For example, all Content and information on the Service is encrypted using SSL certificates. However, no system is perfectly secure or reliable. The internet is an inherently insecure medium, and the reliability of hosting services, internet intermediaries, your internet Dental Provider, and other Dental Providers cannot be assured. When you use the Service, you accept these risks and the responsibility for choosing to use a technology that cannot guarantee complete security and reliability.

12. Third Party/Open Source Software

The Service may contain and/or may connect to third party software and/or open-source software, which may be subject to third party licenses and require notices and/or additional terms and conditions (“Third Party Licenses”). These Third Party Licenses are made a part of and incorporated into these Terms. By accepting these Terms, you are also accepting the Third Party Licenses, if any. Third Party Licenses may be viewed through the Service or by contacting Studental at legals@studental.ca.

13. Third-Party Service Providers and Partners

Studental may hire or engage one or more third-party partners to perform any or all of its obligations under the Terms. We operate the Service in conjunction with our independent contractors. Our independent contractors and third-party partners may have access to your personal or business information in providing services to us, or providing you with access to the Service. We may use a variety of third-party Service Providers, independent contractors, employees and servers in locations both inside and outside of Canada, which may make your personal or business information the subject of foreign laws and foreign legal proceedings.

14. Linked Sites

The Service may contain links to third party websites (“Third Party Sites”) or third-party content (“Third Party Content”) as a service to those interested in this information or as otherwise posted as User Content from a User. You use links to Third Party Sites or any Third Party Content or services provided there at your own risk. Studental does not monitor or have any control over, and makes no claim or representation regarding, such Third Party Content or Third Party Sites. Studental may provide these links only as a convenience or a User may provide these links as part of their User Content, and a link to a Third Party Site or Third Party Content does not imply Studental’s endorsement, adoption or sponsorship of, or affiliation with, such Third Party Site or Third Party Content. Studental accepts no responsibility for reviewing changes or updates to, or the quality, content, policies, nature or reliability of any Third Party Content, Third Party Sites, or websites linking to the Service. When you leave the Service, unless otherwise stated here in, our Terms and policies no longer govern. You should review applicable terms and policies, including, without limitation, privacy and data gathering practices, of any Third Party Site, and you should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any transaction with any third party.

15. Advertisements and Promotions

Studental may run advertisements and promotions from third parties on or through the Service. Your business dealings or correspondence with, or participation in promotions of User or advertisers other than Studental, and any terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings are solely between you and such User or other third party. Studental is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of third party advertisers on or through the Service.

16. Disclaimer

THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT AND THE VERIFYING INFORMATION ARE PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS” BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES FROM STUDENTAL OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. STUDENTAL EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. STUDENTAL DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT OR VERIFYING INFORMATION IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT OR ERROR-FREE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO THE ACCURACY OR PROPRIETARY CHARACTER OF THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT, THE VERIFYING INFORMATION OR ANY PORTION THEREOF. STUDENTAL DOES NOT ADOPT, ENDORSE OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR RELIABILITY OF ANY OPINION, ADVICE, OR STATEMENT MADE BY ANY PARTY OTHER THAN STUDENTAL.

WHILE WE STRIVE TO HAVE ERROR FREE AND UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ABSENCE OF INTERRUPTIONS NOR SHALL YOU HOLD US LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE SUCH INTERRUPTIONS MAY CAUSE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH DEALING, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DEALINGS, WITH OTHER USERS WITH WHOM YOU MEET, CONTRACT OR COME IN CONTACT WITH THROUGH THE SERVICE. WE PROVIDE NO ASSURANCES, GUARANTEES OR REPRESENTATIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) REGARDING THE QUALITY, REPUTATION, LEGALITY, INTEGRITY, RESPONSIBILITY, OR ACTIONS OF (A) DENTAL CARE SERVICES PROMOTED, ADVERTISED OR SOLD BY A DENTAL PROVIDER/CLINIC; OR (B) ANY USER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY USER’S PERSONNEL, IF AND AS APPLICABLE), WHETHER IN PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ONLINE INTERACTIONS. EVEN IF LISTED ON THE SERVICE, AND EVEN IF A USER OR A DENTAL CARE SERVICE HAS RECEIVED FAVORABLE REVIEWS ON THE SERVICE, WE DO NOT ENDORSE, REFER OR RECOMMEND ANY DENTAL CARE SERVICES OR USERS. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE REMAINS SOLELY WITH YOU, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER, EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, LIABILITIES AND DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MADE IN THESE TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, OUR WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Third, we may post the notice elsewhere on the Service. When we post notices on the Service, we post them in the area(s) of the Service suitable to the notice. It is your responsibility to periodically review the Service and your User Account page for notices.
• Communication Channels. the Service may provide communication channels such as forums, communities or chat areas (“Communication Channels”) designed to enable you to communicate with other Users. Studental is under no obligation to monitor these Communication Channels, but may do so and reserves the right to review materials posted to the Communication Channels and to remove any materials, at any time, with or without notice for any reason, at its sole discretion. Studental may also terminate or suspend your access to any Communication Channels at any time, without notice, for any reason. You acknowledge that chats, postings, or materials posted by Users on the Communication Channels are neither endorsed nor controlled by Studental, and these communications shall not be considered reviewed or approved by Studental. You will be solely responsible for your activities within the Communication Channels and under no circumstances will Studental be liable for any activity within the Communication Channels. You agree that all your communications within the Communication Channels are public, and you have no expectation of privacy regarding your use of the Communication Channels.

22. Applicable Law and Venue

• Governing Law. The Service is controlled by Studental and operated by it from its offices in Oakville, Ontario.

Therefore, you and Studental explicitly agree that all disputes, claims or other matters arising from or relating to your use of the Service will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there in. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
• Dispute Resolution. Except where prohibited by applicable law, any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract or tort, pursuant to statute or regulation, or otherwise, and whether pre-existing, present or future) arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms; (b) the Service or Content; (c) oral or written statements relating to these Terms or to the Service; or (d) the relationships that result from these Terms or the Service or Content (collectively, a “Claim”) will be referred to and determined by a sole arbitrator (to the exclusion of the courts). Except where prohibited by applicable law, you waive any right you may have to commence or participate in any class action against Studental related to any Claim and, where applicable, you also agree to opt out of any class proceedings against Studental. If you have a Claim, you should give written notice to arbitrate at the address specified below. If we have a Claim, we will give you notice to arbitrate at your address provided in your Registration Data. Arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration laws and rules in effect on the date of the notice in the Province of Ontario.
• Court. To the extent arbitration as described in the immediately preceding paragraph is prohibited by applicable law, you agree that all Claims will be heard and resolved in a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Toronto, Ontario. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts over you, stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any objection to proceeding in such courts.
• Other Jurisdictions. If you choose to access the Service from locations other than Ontario, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such other jurisdiction and you agree to indemnify Studental and the other Released Parties for your failure to comply with any such laws.

23. Termination of these Terms

You and Studental may terminate these Terms and your use of the Service at any time, subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms. When you terminate these Terms, you must cease using the Service immediately. When your User Account is terminated, any User Content you have uploaded to the Service may remain on the Service. The license you grant to us in Section 9 therefore survives the termination of these Terms. In addition, we may retain an archival copy of your User Content after termination, and you therefore hereby grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to maintain such archival copy for our internal business purposes. If these Terms expire or terminate for any reason, Sections 6, 7, 9, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 24, and any representation or warranty you make in these Terms, shall also survive indefinitely.

24. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Where a provision in the Terms is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, a lawful or enforceable term which best reflects the intention of the provision, as originally drafted, shall substitute. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of the Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Unless otherwise specified, all references to amounts of money in these Terms refer to Canadian (CAD) currency. The Terms shall enure to the benefit of and are binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Studental may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any party without your consent. You are not permitted to assign any of your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Studental, and any such attempted assignment will be void and unenforceable. Violation of the Terms may cause us irreparable harm and, therefore, you agree that we will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that we may have for a breach of the Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Studental regarding your use of the Service, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications whether electronic, oral or written between you and Studental regarding your use of the Service. The parties confirm that it is their wish that these Terms, as well as any other documents relating to this Terms, including notices, have been and shall be drawn up in the English language only. Les parties reconnaissent avoir convenue que la présente convention ainsi que tous documents, avis et procédures judiciaires qui pourront être exécutés, donnés ou intentées à la suite des présentes ou ayant un rapport, direct ou indirect, avec la présente convention soient rédigée en anglais.
