Subscription fees (Dentist Users)

29. CoTreat monthly or annual subscription fees for Dentist Users to use the Platform will be confirmed upon the Dentist User agreeing a separate commercial agreement with CoTreat (which will also incorporate these Terms). Payments of the subscription fees will be processed via Stripe (see stripe.com/au), or another third party payment gateway provider notified to you at the time of transaction. The following terms will also apply:

(a) All subscription fees must be paid in advance. The applicable fees will be billed automatically at the start of the relevant billing period. These fees will automatically renew until you cancel your subscription by contacting CoTreat, as detailed in these Terms below. Our privacy policy describes the management of personal information we hold and relevant retention periods we must abide by under law, in the event of cancellation of your subscription.

(b) We reserve the right to change the subscription fees at any time by providing you with reasonable advance notice of any such change (but in any case, no less than 28 days' notice). Subject to applicable law, you agree to accept any changes to the subscription fees by continuing to use the Platform after the price change takes effect. If you do not agree with the changes to fees, you may reject the change by cancelling your subscription prior to the change taking effect, and if you have paid subscription fees for any period which extend beyond the date the change takes effect you will receive a prorata refund of those fees for that period.

30. All subscriptions to the Platform will be provided in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law contained in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and other applicable law.

Cancellation of Subscription

31. Subscriptions may be cancelled as follows:

(a) either party may cancel your subscription at the end of the current subscription period (end date) as set out in your commercial agreement with CoTreat (e.g., monthly or annual), by providing the other party with at least 7 days' notice of termination prior to that end date;

(b) you may cancel your subscription prior to the end date of the current subscription period by providing us with at least 7 days' notice, but you will remain liable for the subscription fees for the whole current subscription period and will not be entitled to a refund, unless the cancellation is due to our material breach of these Terms;

(c) cancellation of your subscription in the above circumstances will take effect at the end of your current subscription period;

(d) if you wish to cancel your subscription, please notify us in writing by post or email using our contact details in your commercial agreement with CoTreat, or through our website; and

(e) your subscription may be cancelled immediately by us if we become aware that you have ceased practising at the practice location at which the instance of the Platform is installed, or you are otherwise no longer authorised to install and use the Platform at that practice location. You must notify us as soon as practicable if such circumstances arise, and if you have paid subscription fees for any period which extend beyond the termination date you will receive a prorata refund of those fees for that period.

Platform Updates

32. We may from time to time modify or make new features or functionality for the Platform, including but not limited to patches and fixes for security, error correction and workarounds, and new version releases (Platform Changes).

33. Any Platform Changes which are required in order to address any security issue, error, vulnerability or critical functionality issue which we identify, and which do not materially affect the functionality or scope of services provided by the Platform, are 'Platform Fixes'. We may apply Platform Fixes at any time in our absolute discretion and we will provide you with notice of any Platform Fixes applied as soon as reasonably practicable.

34. Any Platform Changes which are not Platform Fixes but are a new version of or improvement to the Platform, or any other changes which materially affect the functionality or scope of services provided by the Platform, are 'Platform Updates'. We will provide you with reasonable advance notice of any Platform Updates being applied to the Platform, but in any case, no less than 28 days' notice (Update Notice Period), after which the Platform Update will be applied. If you do not wish to continue using the Platform with the relevant Platform Update, you may cancel your subscription by contacting CoTreat at any time during the Update Notice Period. If you cancel your subscription the cancellation will take effect at the end of the Update Notice Period, and if you have paid subscription fees for any period which extend beyond the Update Notice Period you will receive a prorata refund of those fees for that period. You may renew your subscription at any time after that, but this will be with the latest version of the Platform including any Platform Fixes and Platform Updates applied to that time.

Updates to these Terms

35. We may from time to time amend or update these Terms at any time by publishing new Terms on the Platform. Where an amendment or update materially affects your rights or obligations, we will provide you with reasonable advance notice of the change. You are bound by any such new Terms where you continue to use the Platform after any such amendment or update of the Terms. You are responsible for reviewing the Platform periodically to check for any amendment or update of the Terms.

Miscellaneous

36. Any provision of these Terms which is found to be invalid or unenforceable must be read down, if possible, so far as to be valid and enforceable, and if that is not possible, the provision must, to the extent that it is capable, be severed to the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability, without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms.

37. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia, and each party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Victoria, Australia.

38. If you access or use the Platform in the capacity of an authorised representative of another person or entity, you acknowledge and agree that you are legally authorised to bind that other person or entity to these Terms.

Security and data protection

39. We maintain an information security management system which is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Information about our security controls, the service providers we engage to deliver the Platform, and where data is stored and processed, is set out in our privacy policy and on our Trust Centre.

40. All Customer Data which we store is stored in Australia. Certain artificial intelligence processing steps are carried out outside Australia on a transient basis, as described in our privacy policy.

41. If we become aware of a data breach affecting your Customer Data, we will notify you without undue delay, provide you with the information you reasonably require in order to meet your own notification obligations, and co-ordinate with you in relation to any notification to affected individuals.

Customer Data on cancellation or expiry

42. If you are a Dentist User, you may request a copy of your Customer Data at any time during your subscription, or within 30 days after its cancellation or expiry. We will provide the export in a commonly used format, within a reasonable period after receiving your request.

43. After that 30 day period, we will retain or securely dispose of Customer Data in accordance with our privacy policy and the retention periods which apply to health records under applicable law.

Improvement of the Platform and our models

44. You grant us a non-exclusive licence to use de-identified data derived from Customer Data to develop, test and improve the Platform and our artificial intelligence models. Before any data is used for this purpose, facial imagery and text identifiers are removed so that the data does not identify a Patient, a Dentist User or a practice. We do not use identifying Patient information to train our models. If you are a Dentist User and you do not wish de-identified data derived from your Customer Data to be used for this purpose, you may notify us using the contact details below and we will exclude it.

45. Clause 44 survives cancellation of your subscription in respect of de-identified data which has already been incorporated into a model.

Separate agreements

46. If your practice, group or organisation has entered into a separate written agreement with us dealing with data protection, privacy, information security or ownership of data - for example a data processing agreement, or a schedule to a services agreement - that agreement prevails over these Terms to the extent of any inconsistency.

If you have any questions regarding these Terms, please contact us at help@cotreat.com.au.
