You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. We have the right to disable any username, password or other identifier at any time in our sole discretion for any reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any part of these Terms of Use.
Subscription services

All updates, upgrades and new versions of the Software shall be governed by your Services Agreement and these Terms of Use.
You agree that the Company, or its designate, may remotely login to your computer or other device for purposes of providing the Subscription Services, including, without limitation, technical trouble shooting, answering questions, benchmarking and providing training to the dentist or the dentist’s personnel. Remote login may be conducted through the use of established, secure, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA“) compliant third party entities. You further agree that the Company may also remotely login at any time as necessary or appropriate to maintain the Software and keep it functioning effectively.
During the time you are eligible to receive Subscription Services, the Company may, in its sole discretion, also make certain additional web-based training services available to you. Such additional services will be provided subject to the Company’s then-current policies regarding use of such additional services. The Company reserves the right to discontinue any such additional services or offer new additional services at any time, without right to refund or set-off.
