You authorize us to verify your registration information at any time, and to suspend or terminate your Account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that any registration information is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete.

Subject to this agreement and our Privacy Policy as in effect from time to time, which is located at https://bitebankwebsites.com/terms-of-service/privacy-policy (“Privacy Policy”), upon becoming a member you may access and use your member account (“Account” ) and the Services, but only for your own internal purposes relating to your own dental practice. You must not resell, transfer or otherwise provide any of the Services to any third party. All rights not expressly granted in this agreement are reserved by us and our licensors.

BBW makes no representation or warranty as to the quality of the professional services to be performed by a BBW member or that those are somehow greater than the quality of the same services performed by non-members.
You will not overstate or embellish your professional qualifications via the Services or your Member Site or attempt in any manner to mislead others as to your qualifications, affiliations or identity.
Our provision of the Website and the member services accessible through the Website are collectively the “Services”. You may select different service plans for your Account, all of which include the following “Standard Services”:
The various Service plans offered by BBW include the following:
Some Service plans are not available in certain jurisdictions. The Service plans available in your jurisdiction are specified on the Website.
You may also request that BBW develop a completely customized Member Site for you. Any such custom development Services will be subject to a separate agreement between you and BBW.
We may use third parties to provide some or all of the Services. The Services may be provided using service providers, servers or other equipment located in any country, including Canada or elsewhere. We reserve the right to update and modify the Services from time to time, and we reserve all rights not expressly granted to you under this agreement.
The cost of registering one domain name for your Member Site, or for transferring one existing domain name owned by you to BBW’s system, is included in the initial setup fee, and the cost of managing and maintaining that domain name is included in the recurring monthly fees. There is a $20 annual fee for each additional domain name that we register (or transfer), manage and maintain for you.
If you request that we register one or more domain names for the Member Site, we will use reasonable efforts to register the domain name you request. However, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to register a domain name that is different from the requested name, and to select the top-level domain (.com, .ca, .biz, etc.) for the domain name.
BBW manages and maintains the domain names associated with your Member Site through BBW’s software system. This requires that all your domain names be in BBW’s name. If you already own one or more domain names that you wish to use with the Member Site, you must transfer control of the domain names to BBW so that we may manage and maintain the domain names from our system.
If this agreement terminates, we will transfer control of the domain names associated with your Account to you provided that you request such transfer within 60 days after termination. In the event that you fail to request such transfer, BBW may, after giving 30 days’ notice of its intent to make a disposition of such domain names, dispose of, transfer, use or acquire those (including, without limitation, by BBW’s acquisition and exercise of exclusive ownership of and control over those domain names, by BBW’s use, sale, license or other exploitation of those, or by letting those expire) as BBW determines in its sole discretion.
The Member Site’s meta tag information will be coded to internet search engine standards so that it is ready to be indexed by major internet search engines. BBW does not represent, warrant or guarantee that the Member Site will rank highly on internet search results. You acknowledge and agree that search engine ranking results depend on factors within your control and not within BBW’s control. You may edit your Member Site’s meta tag information through your Account.
If you wish to obtain search engine optimization services you may enter into a separate agreement with BBW for such services to you or you may obtain such services from a third party.
BBW will make available a content library from which you can select content (“Library Content”) for your Member Site. BBW grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to publish Library Content on your Member Site during the term of this agreement. This licence includes the right to modify Library Content and to publish the modified Library Content on your Member Site; all such modified Library Content is “Member Content” as defined in section 23.
BBW will make available patient education videos (”Patient Videos”) to members with certain service plans, and BBW grants those members a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to make Patient Videos available for viewing on their respective Member Sites during the term of this agreement.
For an additional service charge payable to BBW, members whose service plans include Patient Videos may contract directly with third-party providers for the right to use other video content. Such members are solely responsible for paying any such third-party providers directly for that content and for complying with any rules or restrictions that those providers may impose regarding that content. Content from those third-party providers will be deemed "Member Content" (as defined in section 23) for the purposes of this agreement.
Subject to this agreement we will maintain your Account and your Member Site during the term of this agreement.

You will also have access to BiteBank's newest website design releases, changes, service packs and patches. Updates will not include structural or coding changes to your website, however.
Features of updates may require that your hardware, operating systems and third-party software be updated in order for those features to function. You are responsible for upgrading your hardware, operating systems and third-party software as may be required for those features to function.
The initial term of this agreement will be the period specified when you registered your Account (one, two or three years). Unless this agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, or unless the parties agree in advance to renew this agreement on different terms, when that initial term expires this agreement will automatically continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated by you or us under sections 39 and 40.
You will pay BBW the fees set out on the Website from time to time plus all applicable taxes ("Fees") to become a member and receive the Services, including:
We may change the Fees from time to time upon providing 30 days’ notice to you.
You may pay your monthly fees on an annual basis, in advance; if you do so, you will receive the following discounts from those monthly fees:
Any such discounts may not be combined with any other discounts, offers or promotions that BBW may from time to time make available and also will not apply if this agreement continues on a month-to-month basis after the initial term expires.
If you are a Canadian resident you will be charged, and you will pay, Fees in Canadian currency. If you are not a Canadian resident you will be charged, and you will pay, Fees in United States currency.
You will pay all Fees directly to BBW via credit card, or such other payment method as BBW may approve in writing. If you pay via credit card, you hereby authorize BBW to charge all amounts to the credit card number you provide to BBW when you register your Account. If your credit card payment is rejected or refused you will immediately pay BBW the amount due and provide BBW with an alternative credit card number for future payments. If you do not provide alternative credit card information that successfully authorizes payment within 10 days after the first payment is refused, we may suspend your Account and rights to all Services. You represent and warrant to BBW that each credit card you use for payment to BBW belongs to you, and you have the right to charge all such payments on the credit card(s).
Except as specifically set out below, all payments (regardless of how they were made) are non-refundable.
If you are not satisfied with the Services and notify us within 30 days after registering your Account, we will terminate your Account and refund all recurring monthly fees you have paid up to the termination date. You acknowledge and agree that the one-time Account setup fee is not refundable.
You will pay BBW simple interest on all overdue amounts at a rate of 18% per year or, if less, at the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law, calculated from the date payment was due until the date payment (including accrued interest) is made in full.
BBW may from time to time make available promotion codes that grant you a discount on Fees. If you are eligible to use a promotional code, you may not combine that promotional code with any other BBW discount, offer or promotion.
BBW may from time to time offer credits (for example, for a certain amount of design services or for a free month of services). Such credits are not redeemable for cash or any other form of credit and have no monetary value. You have no ownership interest in your accrued credits. Credits may not be purchased or sold and are not transferable. If you receive any credits, you must use them within 3 months; any credits not used within that period will expire.
Without limiting anything in this agreement, you must comply with all applicable privacy laws and must not collect, use, retain or disclose any third party’s personal information without their consent unless otherwise permitted by law to do so.
You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for complying with all applicable privacy laws and for preparing, implementing and maintaining all privacy policies and other privacy practices required by those laws with respect to any personal information (of your clients or otherwise) that you collect, use or disclose, whether on or through your Account or Member Site or otherwise, including, without limitation, the Confidentiality Clause of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), well as any other healthcare specific legislation. We do not represent or warrant that any documentation or information we provide complies with any jurisdiction’s privacy laws, and you should obtain advice from a qualified professional about privacy compliance before preparing or implementing any privacy policies or practices.
If you collect personal information from your clients through your Member Site, we will store that information for you as part of hosting your Member Site. You acknowledge and agree that we are doing so solely as a service provider to you, and that we have no obligations regarding that information other than to take reasonable measures to keep it secure.

Please feel free to read our privacy policy. This policy ensures the security of information exchanged between both parties.
BiteBank Websites Inc. ("BBW") is committed to maintaining the privacy of your personal information. Our commitment to you has been developed in accordance with the federal Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act ("PIPEDA") and ensures that your personal information will only be collected, used, and disclosed in compliance with the law.
BBW's Privacy Policy applies all to personal information about individuals collected through BBW's website. It does not apply to information relating to corporate or commercial entities or to information collected by means other than this website.
If a BBW client collects personal information from its own customers, that BBW client is solely responsible for complying with privacy laws and for protecting its customers' personal information.
BBW may change this Privacy Policy from time to time and these changes will be incorporated without notice into a revised statement that will be posted at http://bitebankwebsites.com/privacy-policy in order to ensure that you will always have the most current information with respect to BBW's privacy practices.
"Personal Information" is information about an identifiable individual but does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization. It also does not include information that is available in the public domain.
BBW may collect technical information from your computer that does not identify you, including: your Internet IP address; the time you spend on our website; the pages you visit; the operating system and web browser software you use; and, if you locate our website through a search engine, the keywords you used to find us. This information is stored only in aggregate form and used for statistic analysis in an effort to improve our website. BBW reserves the right, however, to attempt to link this information to an individual if it becomes necessary in order to investigate a security breach or other illegal activity related to its website.
BBW also uses cookies on its website. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Our website uses cookies to store your preferences and to record session information. We do not and will not use cookies to collect private information from you that you did not intentionally submit to us. The cookie is never redirected to servers outside of BBW's control. Most web browsers allow you to delete cookies after each internet session.
Except as set out in this Privacy Policy, BBW does not collect personal information about general visitors to its website, other than personal information that is voluntarily provided. In certain situations, you may be requested to provide personal information for specific purposes; we will provide the purposes of the collection and information regarding the use and retention of this information when we request the information.
Clients who create BBW user accounts in order to receive BBW services must provide certain information, including name, area of specialization, contact information and payment information.
The cornerstone of our Privacy Policy is that we will only collect personal information from you that is necessary for our legitimate business purposes, that we will only use this information in ways that have been clearly communicated to you (or which should be obvious from the manner in which the information was requested) and that we will safeguard your personal information while it is in our possession and not retain it for longer than necessary.

BBW is accountable and responsible for personal information in its possession and under its control. BBW has designated a Privacy Officer who is accountable for BBW's compliance with this Policy.
BBW has adopted policies and procedures to protect your personal information, to receive and respond to complaints and inquiries, to train staff regarding policies and procedures and to communicate policies and procedures to its customers. Please contact our Privacy Officer for more information on these policies and procedures.
When collecting your personal information, we will tell you why we are collecting the information (unless the purpose is obvious) and will provide, on request, contact information for our Privacy Officer who can answer further questions about the collection. Before using or disclosing personal information for a purpose not previously identified, we will identify the new purpose and obtain your consent unless the use or disclosure is authorized or required by law.
Except as set out below, we do not collect personal information other than personal information that is voluntarily provided. Generally, we collect, use and disclose personal information for the following purposes:
These collections, uses and disclosures are a reasonably necessary part of your relationship with us.
BBW does not sell or trade your personal information with other persons or organizations, except to organizations affiliated with BBW. Nevertheless, we may be required by law to disclose your personal information, for example to comply with valid legal processes such as a subpoena or court order. We may also need to disclose your personal information in order to protect our legal rights or property, or where failure to disclose your personal information may put the safety of another individual at risk.
Upon request to our Privacy Officer, BBW will do its best to provide further explanation of the specific purposes for which your personal information will be used.
If you have provided personal information and wish to have it removed from our system, please contact our Privacy Officer.
BBW may retain agents, subcontractors or service providers("Service Providers") from time to time in relation to the BBW's business or the products or services that BBW provides. If BBW requires a Service Provider to deal with your personal information, BBW will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Service Provider adheres to privacy procedures and will keep your personal information confidential. BBW will not provide more information than is necessary to the Service Provider and will ensure that the information is returned or destroyed once the purpose for which it was given is filled.
Our Service Providers may be located outside of Canada, and you acknowledges that personal information may be processed and stored in foreign jurisdictions and that the governments, courts or law enforcement or regulatory agencies in those jurisdictions may be able to obtain disclosure of that personal information through the laws of the foreign jurisdiction.
By providing personal information to us, you agree that we may collect, use and disclose that personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required or permitted by law. We may collect, use or disclose personal information without your knowledge or consent where:
Other exceptions may apply. Your consent can be express, implied or given through an authorized representative such as a lawyer or agent. Consent may be provided orally, in writing, electronically, by negative option, or otherwise.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions, and provided that you give us reasonable notice. Once notice is given, BBW will inform you of the likely consequences of withdrawing your consent, which may include BBW's inability to provide the services requested.
When providing BBW with consent, or when revoking your consent, please do so by communicating with our Privacy Officer.
BBW will limit its collection of personal information to that which is reasonable and necessary to provide the services requested, or as authorized by law. BBW will collect information only by lawful means.
Your personal information will only be used or disclosed for the purposes consented to by you or as authorized by law.
BBW will retain personal information only as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected or to comply with our legal obligations. We will destroy, erase or make anonymous documents or other records containing personal information as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the original purpose is no longer being served by retention of the information and retention is no longer necessary for legal or business purposes. We will take due care when destroying personal information so as to prevent unauthorized access to the information.
BBW does not trade or sell personal information except in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
BBW will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate and complete. In most cases, however, BBW relies on you to ensure that the personal information provided is current, complete and accurate. Please contact BBW to inform us of any changes to your information or to confirm the accuracy of the information we retain. BBW does not seek independent confirmation of any information provided.
If you demonstrate the inaccuracy or incompleteness of your personal information, BBW will amend it as required. If appropriate, we will send the amended information to third parties to whom we have previously disclosed your personal information.
When a challenge regarding the accuracy of your personal information is not resolved to your satisfaction, BBW will make note that a request to amend the personal information under its control was made but that the information was not amended.
BBW protects the personal information in its custody or control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorized access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar risks. Some specific safeguards include:
We will take reasonable steps, through contractual or other reasonable means, to ensure that the suppliers and agents who assist in providing services to us implement a comparable level of personal information protection.
Note that despite best practices and BBW's best efforts confidentiality and security may not assured when information is transmitted through e-mail or other wireless communication. Please notify our Privacy Officer in writing if you do not want us to communicate with you through these means.
BBW is open about its privacy policies and procedures relating to the management of personal information. You can obtain information about these policies and procedures from our Privacy Officer by written request. We reserve the right to refuse to disclose sensitive information about our policies and procedures to ensure the integrity of its security procedures and business methods.
You have the right to access your personal information held by BBW.
Upon written request and authentication of identity, we will provide you with a summary of your personal information in our possession, a description of the way in which that information is being used, and a list of the individuals and organizations to whom that information has been disclosed.
We may charge a reasonable fee for providing information in response to an access request and will provide an estimate of any such fee upon receiving an access to information request. We may require a deposit for all or part of the fee.
We will make the information available within 30 days or provide written notice where additional time is required to fulfill the request.
In some situations, we may not be able to provide access to certain personal information. This may be the case where, for example, disclosure would reveal personal information about another individual, or disclosure of the information would reveal confidential commercial information that, if disclosed, could harm our competitive position. We may also be prevented by law from providing access to certain personal information.
Where an access request is refused, we will notify you in writing, document the reasons for refusal and outline further available steps.
BBW will provide information regarding its complaint procedures on request. Any inquiries, complaints or questions regarding this Privacy Policy should be directed in writing to our Privacy Officer:
