(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this EULA, Bento shall provide the Service to User, and User may access and use the Service for the sole purpose of utilizing Bento’s dental benefits management platform for its intended purpose, provided, however, that Bento shall have no obligation to support User’s use of the Service in the event that: (i) User modifies the Service (or any component thereof) without Bento’s prior written consent; (ii) any error is caused in whole or in part by persons other than Bento, including without limitation, User’s failure to properly enter or transmit data; or (iii) any error is caused in whole or in part by User’s installation or use of the Service in association with operating environments and platforms other than those specified, and supported, by Bento.

(b) To the extent that the Service incorporates any third-party software licensed by Bento, then, in addition to the terms set forth herein, User must comply with any additional terms, restrictions, or limitations applicable to such third-party software, to the extent that Bento has notified User of such terms, restrictions, or limitations. Additionally, User acknowledges that Bento shall have the right to subcontract performance of its hosting services, in which event the service levels provided by any third-party hosting provider (including, without limitation, any service levels that are stricter than the service levels offered by User) will be incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Bento does not provide Users with the equipment to use the Service. User shall procure, install and maintain all equipment, Internet connections and other hardware (other than the hardware constituting the support center maintained at Bento’s facilities) necessary for User to connect to and access the Service. Additionally, User is responsible for all fees charged by third parties to access and use the Service (e.g., charges by mobile carriers). Without limiting the foregoing, User is solely responsible for the payment of all applicable fees associated with any Internet service provider or carrier service plan User uses in connection with its use of the Service (such as voice, data, SMS, MMS, roaming, other applicable fees charged by the carrier).

  1. USER IDS

User will comply with all of Bento’s rules and regulations and security restrictions in connection with use of the Service. Each User will be assigned a unique User identification name and password for access to and use of the Service (“User ID”). User shall be solely responsible for ensuring the security and confidentiality of all User IDs. User acknowledges that it will be fully responsible for all liabilities incurred through its inappropriate use of any User ID and that any transactions under a User ID will be deemed to have been performed by User, except where the User ID information was acquired by a third party from Bento. Use or disclosure of any User ID by User, other than as provided in this EULA, shall be considered a breach of this EULA by User. User may not share its User ID with any other user of the Service.

  1. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

User acknowledges Bento’s proprietary rights in the Service and associated documentation and shall protect the proprietary nature thereof.

  1. USER INFORMATION; DATA RETENTION AND COLLECTION

Bento is under no obligation, however, to review User Information for accuracy, potential liability or for any other reason.

(b) Bento shall have the right to utilize data capture, syndication and analysis tools, and other similar tools, to extract, compile, synthesize, and analyze any non-personally identifiable data or information (including, without limitation, User Information) resulting from User’s access and use of the Service (“Blind Data”). To be considered Blind Data, information must be fully de-identified in compliance with HIPAA’s regulations. To the extent that any Blind Data is collected by Bento, such Blind Data shall be solely owned by Bento and may be used by Bento for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to User, provided that the Blind Data is used only in an aggregated, fully de-identified form, without specifically identifying the source of the Blind Data. Bento agrees to comply with the applicable U.S. laws and regulations respecting the dissemination and use such Blind Data.

(c) Bento has appropriate security measures in place to protect personally identifiable information and sensitive data that is generated by User’s use of the Service and received by Bento. While no computer system or server is completely secure, Bento believes the measures it has implemented reduce security problems. Accordingly, Bento’s Privacy Policy located at https://bento.net is hereby incorporated into this EULA be reference.

(d) Bento will not alter any information received from User through User’s use of the Service if such alteration would render the information inaccurate.

  1. USER RESTRICTIONS

  1. PAYMENT PROCESSING

(a) Bento processes payment transactions on behalf of Users, as the agent of the User, through the appropriate bank, credit card or debit card network, as applicable. When a User chooses to use the Service to facilitate a payment (either to make or receive a payment hereby), the User hereby consents to Bento facilitating and/or processing payments made or received through the Service, including, without limitation, the consent to access, charge or debit a User’s credit card, debit card, bank account or other payment mechanism. Users agree that Users shall be responsible for the cost of any credit card payment processing fees and that Bento may deduct such credit card processing fees from any payments made to Users through the Service.

(b) Each User acknowledges and agrees that a payment transaction made through the Service is a transaction between Users and not with Bento. Bento is not a party to any payment transaction for the purchase of medical services and Bento is not a buyer or seller in connection with any payment transaction.

(c) Users may only use the Service to process a payment transaction for a dental care related product or service provided by another User through a legitimate, bona fide sale of such product or service. The Service may not be used to process a payment transaction, or otherwise transfer money between Users, that is unrelated to a dental care related purchase. Users may not use the Service to purchase any illegal goods or services or for any other underlying illegal transaction.

(d) All payment transactions processed through the Service are non-refundable to a User by Bento and are non-reversible by a User through the Service. Users may have additional refund or charge-back rights under the agreement a User has with the issuer of the User’s payment instrument (i.e., its credit or debit card agreement) or applicable state and federal laws. User should review its periodic statement received from the issuer of its payment instrument which will reflect all purchase transactions through the Service.

(e) Payment processing services for Users on Bento are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to this agreement or continuing to operate as a User on Bento, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of Bento enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Bento accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize Bento to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

(f) If Users receiving payments from Bento in connection with the Service desires to receive payment by check, such Users agree that Bento shall be entitled to assess a check fee of $1.00 per check and that Bento may deduct check fees from any payments by Bento to such Users.

  1. CONDUCT WITHIN PUBLIC AREAS OF SITE

(a) The Service may contain e-mail services, bulletin board services, forums, communities or other message or communication facilities designed to enable Users to communicate and interact with other Users (the “Public Areas”). User agrees to use the Public Areas only to post, send and receive messages and materials that are proper and, when applicable, related to the particular Public Area. Bento has no obligation to monitor the Public Areas, provided, however, Bento reserves the right to review materials posted to the Public Areas and to remove any materials at any time, without notice, for any reason and in our sole discretion. Bento reserves the right to terminate or suspend User’s access to any or all of the Public Areas at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever. User acknowledges that postings and other communications posted in the Public Areas by other Users are not controlled or endorsed by Bento, and such communications shall not be considered reviewed, screened or approved by Bento Statements made in postings, forums, bulletin boards and other Public Areas reflect only the views of their respective authors. Bento specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Public Areas and any actions resulting from a User’s participation in any Public Areas.

(b) User acknowledges and agrees that User’s communications with other Users via the Public Area or otherwise are public and not private communications, and that User has no expectation of privacy concerning User’s use of the Public Areas. User acknowledges that personal information that User communicates on the Public Areas may be seen and used by others and result in unsolicited communications; therefore, BENTO STRONGLY ENCOURAGES USERS NOT TO DISCLOSE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THEMSELVES THROUGH THE PUBLIC AREAS. Bento is not responsible for information that User chooses to communicate via the Public Areas, or for the actions of other Users. Further, User grants Bento a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, in the promotion of Bento or the Service, any content that User posts on or in connection with a Public Area, including, without limitation, the posting of such content on Bento’s social media accounts.
