9. Term

This Agreement will be in force throughout the Term beginning on the Subscription Start Date. This Agreement will AUTOMATICALLY RENEW each 30 day cycle on the anniversary of the Subscription Start Date (“Renewal Date”). If you choose not to renew, you must notify BookMeToday in writing at least 30 days prior to the Renewal Date, in which case, you will continue to have access to the Software Service and be billed until the end of the then current term. All month-to-month Software Service plans require 30 days written notice to BookMeToday prior to the date of cancellation, and you will continue to be billed for the Software Service until such time that is 30 days from the date that written notice is provided. All Software Service plans or subscriptions that are not on a month-to-month basis require 30 days written notice as well as a cancellation fee being the lower of the aggregate amount of the payments due as if the Software Service plan had continued until the end of the then current term or the aggregate of the discounted amount applied to the payments made or billed during the then current term. The discounted amount is the difference between the Subscription Fee billed or paid by you or paid by the licensee responsible for paying and the Regular Subscription Fee normally charged for your Software Service plan. Should your cancellation date fall during a subscription period or month the full monthly subscription fee will be charged or billed, no partial subscription fees will apply and no partial subscription credits will be granted for any cancellation fees or fees in lieu of cancellation notice. No cancellation fees will apply so long as written cancellation notice is provided within the first 30 days of the term for new subscription plans 12 months or greater (this does not apply to any renewal period). Otherwise our standard policies and conditions apply.

10. Termination

Any breach of your payment obligations or unauthorized use of the BookMeToday Technology, Content or Software Service will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. BookMeToday, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account or use of the Software Service if you breach or otherwise fail to comply with this Agreement.

You agree to pay BookMeToday the Subscription Fees and any other applicable fees stated in your Software Licensing Agreement. All payment obligations under this Agreement are non-cancelable and all fees paid are non-refundable. Unless otherwise stated in a Software Licensing Agreement, fees must be paid in advance of each billing period. BookMeToday charges and collects in advance for use of the Software Service.

It is your responsibility to provide BookMeToday with any changes in your payment details such as updating your credit card, or any changes to your banking information. Should your primary form of payment be returned as incomplete, rejected or cancelled we will immediately charge or debit your secondary form of payment (credit card/bank account or other) together with any fees or additional charges incurred because of the failure to complete the processing through your primary form of payment. Your secondary form of payment will be used thereafter on an going forward basis without notice to you, until you provide BookMeToday with updated billing information regarding your primary form of payment.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is a federal law regulating the way consumers are contacted by telephone, fax, and text message. The TCPA regulations apply to the text and automated landline messages you are able to send through the BookMeToday Software Service to communicate with your clients.

15.1. Prior Consent

CPA regulations require that companies obtain consent from consumers prior to sending any sort of text or automated telephone messages. For HIPAA covered entities, requirements for how consent is obtained are different depending on whether the messaging only contains health-related information or if it includes marketing-focused content. The TCPA regulations are described below to help you understand the restrictions. BookMeToday automates text message communications, but you are responsible for ensuring that the recipients of those communications have provided prior express written consent to receive them.

15.2. Consent for Informational Health Care Messages

For HIPAA covered entities sending informational only health-related messages, the client’s consent can be written, electronic or verbal. With these guidelines, you can send your clients informational messages about their health care. Such health-related informational messages include appointment reminders without marketing content.

We strongly recommend that your “Privacy Policy” specifically state that you may use your client’s landline or cell phone numbers to contact them with informational messages, specifically, that third party business associates may text them with reminders. We also suggest that you obtain written acknowledgement from each client stating that they have received and reviewed your privacy policy. While these steps are a best practice, consent can also be obtained from clients in other ways (verbal consent is acceptable.)

15.3. Consent for Marketing-Focused Messages

The Software Service can also be used to send or automate marketing-focused messages, which are subject to more stringent TCPA regulations. Messages with any sort of marketing content require that your client provide you with “express written consent”, which may be obtained in an electronic format. The prior express written consent must identify that you may be sending text messages related to your goods and services using automated technology and that your client affirmatively agrees to receive such messages. The prior express consent must include your clients’ written or electronic acceptance. Specifically, by entering a cell phone number into your Software Service and not opting such cell phone out of the BookMeToday text message feature, you are directing BookMeToday to automatically send text message reminders and other communications to such cell phone and certifying that the user of such cell phone consents to the receipt of those messages.

15.4. Opt-Out

TCPA regulations require you to honor client requests to opt-out of future telephone, fax, or text messages. The Software Service allows you to honor these requests on an individual basis. A client may also opt-out of text messages at any time by replying with the word STOP to any text message sent through the BookMeToday. You are responsible for all liability for any failure to receive consent or failure to opt users out of the text message feature.

15.5. Identity Disclosure

TCPA regulations require you to identify your business by name and telephone number in all text messages you send to clients. The Software Service enables you to comply with this rule by requiring you to include identifying tokens in all text message templates. You will not be able to send any text messages that do not contain complete and proper identification. Additionally, you may not attempt to spoof sender domains, send spam or other offending text message practices including those covered in the Section titled “Customer responsibility and passwords” of this Agreement.

BookMeToday makes no expressed or implied warranty of individual message receipt. BookMeToday shall not be liable for any issues that arise associated with the content that you provide or unforeseen liabilities of it being delivered. You shall be solely liable to comply with applicable laws and regulations within your jurisdiction in connection with telecommunication (e.g., email and text) messages that you send to your clients.

16. For Canada-based businesses subject to commercial electronic message requirements

You must comply with CASL requirements including, but not limited to, providing identification, making available an unsubscribe (opt-out) mechanism, and obtaining consent from the message recipient. You are responsible for applying all consent, identification, and opt-out requirements. For text messages, you agree to adopt the double opt-in process wherein 1) you may only use text message services for those clients with whom you have an existing business relationship and which have indicated that they accept correspondence from you and 2) the clients must reply to an opt-in message from their handset. For reliable delivery, you must adhere to message limitations including length and delivery, including that portion of the message which indicates who is sending the message, along with a mailing address, plus either a contact phone number, email address or contact page URL. You may not attempt to spoof sender domains, send spam or other offending text message practices including those covered in the Section titled “Customer responsibility and passwords” of this Agreement. Because of carrier technologies, BookMeToday makes no expressed or implied warranty of individual message receipt. BookMeToday shall not be liable for any issues that arise associated with the content that you provide or unforeseen liabilities of it being delivered. You agree to make your internal practices, books, and records, including policies and procedures and information, relating to this Agreement, available to BookMeToday for the purposes of BookMeToday determining your compliance with the obligation to secure consent for your clients to receive marketing messages and other communications (email, text, or other). Such information shall be made available in a time and manner reasonably requested by BookMeToday.

17. Listing Services; BookMeToday Directory

BookMeToday may offer a complimentary listing service (the “Listing Service”) under which your business information and client reviews (collectively, the “Business Information”) are submitted to search engines, indexes and web sites, as well as to the BookMeToday service referred to as the “BookMeToday Directory.” You agree to participate in the Listing Service, and allow BookMeToday to make this data available and provide registration services to the BookMeToday Directory and third party sites. It is up to third party sites to accept the submissions, and BookMeToday makes no warranty as to such sites' willingness to do so. For so long as Customer continues to subscribe to the Software Service, BookMeToday will make a good faith attempt to ensure accuracy and confidentiality of the information we provide to third party sites under the Listing Service. We have no control of third party websites or resources that are provided by companies or persons other than that of BookMeToday. Additional tools may be available from the third parties to provide additional updates to your information, but if you use such services, BookMeToday is not liable for any claim arising out of the combination of such services with the information provided by the Listing Service. BookMeToday may terminate your participation in the Listing Service, or this Agreement, at any time in the event that BookMeToday determines that you are not in compliance with this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement by either party, the Business Information and any consumer reviews may remain in any data feeds provided to third parties under the Listing Service but is subject to removal at any time as determined by BookMeToday. You may request explicit removal of the Business Information from such data feeds in writing, however BookMeToday takes no responsibility in obtaining the removal thereof. Upon request at any time up to 30 days following termination of this agreement, BookMeToday will provide you with an electronic copy of your Business Information, including consumer reviews, for which it has control over.

18. Governing law; venue; waiver of class action

You will not commence or prosecute any action, suit, proceeding or claim arising under or by reason of this Agreement other than in the Provincial Courts located in Ontario, Canada. The Customer irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the courts identified in the preceding sentence in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or claim arising under or by reason of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each party agrees that it will not bring or participate in any class action against the other party or its partners or affiliates relating to this Agreement or the Software Services, and each party hereby waives any rights to bring such claims.

19. Miscellaneous

• BookMeToday will permit access to Your Health Information by business associates to whom you have consented to provide access to the Software Service.
