- 12.2. Dentio shall have no obligation under this Section 12 in respect of any third-party claim to the extent it is based on (i) use, operation or combination of the Service with hardware, software, data, documentation or other equipment not approved by Dentio, if such claim could have been avoided but for such use, operation or combination; (ii) any modification of the Service not made by or on behalf of Dentio; (iii) use of the Service in a manner deviating from its design, specifications, documentation or intended purpose; (iv) use of the Service other than in accordance with the Agreement or Dentio's instructions in force from time to time; or (v) any data, materials, instructions or other items provided by the Customer or any Authorized User.

13. Confidentiality and Disclosure
- 13.1. The Customer is aware that the Service and the Software contain trade secrets and other confidential information belonging to Dentio. The Customer therefore agrees not to make the Software or the Service available to any third party without Dentio's written consent and to take all reasonable measures to ensure that trade secrets and other confidential information are not disclosed to any third party. Both Parties undertake not to disclose to any third party, without the other Party's consent, such information regarding the other Party's business operations as may be deemed to constitute a trade secret or information subject to a statutory duty of confidentiality. Information designated by either Party as confidential shall always be deemed to constitute a trade secret.
- 13.2.

- 13.3. Each Party agrees to impose in an appropriate manner on its employees and consultants the terms and provisions relating to the use of the Service and the Software and the confidentiality obligations set out above in this Section 13. The Parties shall ensure that all engaged subcontractors, together with any of their employees involved in the assignment, sign a confidentiality agreement containing corresponding provisions for the benefit of the other Party. The Customer shall be liable to Dentio for the acts of its employees and consultants and for their compliance with the above provisions.
- 13.4. The Parties' confidentiality obligation under the Agreement shall be valid during the term of the Agreement and shall remain in effect for a period of three (3) years after termination of the Agreement, regardless of the reason.
- 13.5. Dentio shall be entitled, without separate consideration, freely and for marketing and reference purposes, to publicly state that the Customer is a customer of Dentio, including through the use of the Customer's company name and logo, provided that neither Party's confidentiality obligation under this Section 13 is infringed.
14. Processing of Personal Data
- 14.1. The Parties' rights and obligations regarding the processing of personal data within the framework of the Service shall be governed by a separate data processing agreement constituting an appendix to the Agreement. In the event of conflicting provisions between this Agreement and the data processing agreement, the latter shall prevail with respect to the processing of personal data. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the data processing agreement, the Customer is responsible for ensuring that it has a valid legal basis, necessary notices, consents and permissions for the personal data and patient information made available to Dentio through the Service.
15. Term and Termination
- 15.1. Each Party may, by written notice to the other Party, terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if: (i) the other Party has committed a material breach of the Agreement and has not remedied it within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice; or (ii) the other Party becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, enters into liquidation, suspends its payments or may otherwise be deemed to have become insolvent. In addition, Dentio may terminate the Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice if the Customer fails to pay any amount due within ten (10) days after written reminder, repeatedly exceeds agreed usage limits, infringes or threatens to infringe Dentio's intellectual property rights, or uses the Service in a manner that creates a material security, legal or operational risk for Dentio or the Service.
- 15.2. If the Customer has committed a material breach of the Agreement, the Customer shall compensate Dentio for its damages, costs and losses, regardless of whether Dentio elects to terminate the Agreement under this Section 15 or not. If the Agreement is terminated due to the Customer's breach, all unpaid Service Fees for the remainder of the then-current Subscription term shall immediately fall due and payable.
- 15.3. If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 15.1 above, the Customer shall not be entitled to a refund of any Service Fee paid.
16. Force Majeure
- 16.1. If and to the extent that a Party's performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement is prevented, hindered or delayed due to circumstances beyond the Party's reasonable control, such as lightning strikes, labour conflicts, fire, acts of war, requisition, seizure, currency restrictions, riots and civil unrest, shortage of means of transport, shortage of goods, changes in regulations issued by authorities, intervention by authorities, or defects and/or delivery delays of its subcontractors due to the circumstances stated herein (each a "Force Majeure Event"), then the non-performing Party shall be released from performing the obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues. The Party whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event shall immediately notify the other Party that the Force Majeure Event has occurred. The non-performing Party shall, however, always be obliged to mitigate the effects of the Force Majeure Events.
- 16.2. If performance of the Agreement is substantially prevented for more than three (3) months due to the circumstances described above, either Party shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement by written notice.
17. Miscellaneous
- 17.1. Any amendment or addition to the Agreement must, in order to be binding, be in writing and signed by both Parties. Dentio may, however, from time to time unilaterally amend these Terms. Such amendments shall be notified to the Customer in writing (including by e-mail) and shall enter into force on the date stated in the notice, but no earlier than on the date of the notice. If an amendment to (i) fees under the Agreement or (ii) the core functionality of the Service may reasonably be deemed to have a materially adverse effect on the Customer, the Customer shall be entitled, within fifteen (15) days from Dentio's notice of the amendment, to terminate the Agreement with effect no earlier than on the date on which the amendment would have entered into force. The Customer's continued use of the Service after the amendment has entered into force shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the amendment.
- 17.2. The Customer may not assign rights or obligations under the Agreement to any third party without Dentio's prior written consent. Dentio may assign or transfer the Agreement, in whole or in part, to an Affiliate, successor, acquirer of substantially all of Dentio's business or assets, or in connection with a merger, reorganization or financing transaction, provided that such assignee assumes Dentio's obligations under the Agreement.
- 17.3. Any notices of termination or other notices shall be in writing and may be delivered by courier, sent by registered letter or e-mail to the other Party's contact persons at the addresses stated in the Agreement, provided in the applicable subscription process, or otherwise notified by the relevant Party. Such notice shall be deemed given if delivered by courier, on the date of delivery to the recipient; if sent by registered letter, five (5) days after the date of dispatch; or if sent by e-mail, on the date on which it was sent, provided that the sending e-mail account has requested and received a delivery receipt in return from the recipient.

The Expedited Rules shall apply, unless the SCC, taking into account the complexity of the case, the amount in dispute and other circumstances, determines in its discretion that the Arbitration Rules of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce shall apply.
