LICENSE AND SITE ACCESS
ACES grants you a limited license to access and make personal use of this site and not to download (other than page caching) or modify it, or any portion of it, except with express written consent of ACES. This license does not include any resale or commercial use of this site or its contents; any collection and use of any product listings, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use of this site or its contents; any downloading or copying of account information for the benefit of another merchant; or any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools.
This site or any portion of this site may not be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without the express written consent of ACES. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, or form) of ACES or its Content Suppliers without express written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other "hidden text" utilizing the company’s name or trademarks without the express written consent of ACES.
Any unauthorized use terminates the permission or license granted by ACES. You are granted a limited, revocable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink to the home page of ACES so long as the link does not imply false association or portray ACES, its affiliates, or the Services in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive matter.
YOUR ACCOUNT
If you use this site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. ACES does not provide services to children; adults can purchase with a credit card. If you are under 18, you may use ACES only with involvement of a parent or guardian. ACES and its affiliates reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in their sole discretion.
REVIEWS, COMMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OTHER CONTENT
Visitors may submit questions, comments, suggestions, reviews and other content to the ACES team by contacting customer service, by posting a chat comment during a live webinar course, or by submitting a post-course review. You, the Visitor, agree not to post or submit content that is illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to ACES, its Content Suppliers, or other third parties. You may not submit content that consists of or contains software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam." ACES has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content.
If you post content or submit material, you grant ACES and its Content Suppliers a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You grant ACES the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose.
You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you submit; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify ACES and its Content Suppliers for all claims resulting from content you supply. ACES takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted by you or any third party.
IDENTITY INTEGRITY
You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to your identity. You also may not provide false identification information associated with a credit card or other form of payment. Any identity violation may violate state and/or federal law. Because the Services are designed to provide continuing education credit for dental professionals, any type of identity deception can also result in censure from a dental board or other authority.
APPLICABLE LAW
By visiting the Website and using the Services, you agree that the laws of the state of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Service and any dispute that may arise between you and ACES or its Content Suppliers.

Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the Website or the Services shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in San Diego, California. If the dispute involves allegations that the Website user has violated or threatened to violate the intellectual property rights of ACES and/or its Content Suppliers, ACES may seek damages and injunctive relief in any state or federal court in the state of California, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the then-prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
SITE POLICIES, MODIFICATION, AND SEVERABILITY
We reserve the right to make changes to the Website, the Services (including pricing), and these Terms of Service at any time. If any of these conditions shall be deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining condition.
