DEFINITIONS

Assurance Plan is guaranteed refinements for three years calculated by the aligner case invoice date.

Elastic Button Technique (EBT) is a technique for using buttons and rubber bands as auxiliaries to aligners in order to achieve extrusion. The Clinician will be notified if EBT is recommended on the Treatment Setup, but those recommendations are not required to be accepted by the Clinician and it is up to the Clinician to promptly inform HSI of any necessary changes. If the Clinician approves the Treatment Setup with EBT, directions on the location and timing for EBT will be provided once the aligners have been manufactured. The Clinician must follow directions provided by creating cutouts on aligners in-office and adhering separately purchased buttons to the surface of the teeth near the gingiva. The Clinician has complete choice of what buttons and elastics to use.  After aligners have been modified and buttons adhered, the Clinician must instruct patients on proper elastics wear.

 

Interproximal Reduction (IPR) is a procedure where the proximal surfaces of the teeth are reduced. This reshaping creates spaces between the teeth to allow them to move more easily during treatment.  The Clinician will be notified if IPR is recommended on the Treatment Setup, but those recommendations are not required to be accepted by the Clinician and it is up to the Clinician to promptly inform HSI of any necessary changes. The Clinician will need to notify HSI of any preferences on when to perform IPR when submitting the case or requesting modifications of the treatment plan. If the Clinician approves the Treatment Setup with IPR, directions on the location and timing for IPR will be provided once the aligners have been manufactured. The Clinician has complete choice of what instruments and methods to use for completion of planned IPR. HSI recommends always getting signed consent from the patient before performing IPR.

 

Refinement – An option if further tooth movement is needed in order to meet the original approved Treatment Setup. Refinements are not an opportunity to modify the original Treatment Setup. HSI will provide the recommended number of aligners to achieve your approved Treatment Setup once appropriate records have been provided. Refinements may only be requested after half the number of steps provided have been used and before the Treatment Expiration Date.

 

Retainers – One set of upper and lower, made of slightly thicker material for longevity. May be ordered as replacement retainers, based on the original submitted intraoral scan and approved Treatment Setup.

 

Replacement Aligners – To replace lost or damaged aligner trays, Replacement Aligners are made from the original submitted intraoral scan and approved Treatment Setup. Dual arch Replacement Aligners constitute two replacement trays.

 

Note on Replacement Aligners: Direct patients to keep their most recently used aligners and temporarily use the previous set while replacements are being made. Replacement Aligners for more than one step are available for purchase and will generally ship within 7 to 10 business days after placing the order.  If one set of aligners has been lost please instruct the patient to skip that step and increase the length of time the next step is worn until the teeth are fully seated.

 

Revision – An option if the treatment plan needs to be changed by the doctor to achieve new treatment goals. A new Treatment Setup will be provided for approval.

 

Treatment Expiration Date is calculated by the aligner delivery date plus 2 weeks per step, plus 120 days from completion of the final step.

 

Treatment Setup is a virtual three-dimensional representation of the patient’s expected tooth movement which is used for communicating the orthodontic treatment plan. Treatment Setups include the virtual model and the option for Interproximal Reduction (IPR), Attachments, Cutouts, Elastic Slits, and Elastic Button Technique (EBT) if needed. Prior to approving the final Treatment Setup, the Clinician is requested to thoroughly review the Treatment Setup and request changes or modifications in the DDX Portal. If the Clinician does not approve the Treatment Setup, he/she may cancel the case with no cancellation fees. The Clinician’s approval of the customized Treatment Setup is considered a prescription to HSI and HSI’s final authorization to manufacture the Henry Schein’s Aligners (when medically feasible for extraction cases, HSI recommends Treatment Setup approval prior to performing extractions). Results depicted in Treatment Setup are simulated; actual clinical results may vary and are not guaranteed.

 

New Treatment Setup – When new scans or impressions are required for Retainers or a new Treatment Setup is requested after one has already been approved by the customer.

EXHIBIT D (For EU Customers only)

GDPR CONTROLLER-PROCESSOR AGREEMENT

This GDPR Controller-Processor Agreement (“CPA”) is incorporated into and adds the following data privacy clauses to the Terms and Conditions to which this CPA is attached or relates (“T&Cs”), between the Customer (as defined in the T&Cs) (“Controller”) and the HSI Entity (as defined in the T&Cs) which is providing the Products (as defined in the T&Cs) (“Processor”)  to the Customer; each a “Party” and both jointly the “Parties”.

 

  1. Scope and roles
    • This CPA is applicable to the processing of personal data which falls under European Union Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”) and that is subject to the Controller´s use of the Processor´s services under the T&Cs. Unless specified otherwise, capitalized terms in this CPA shall have the same meaning as in the GDPR.
    • In particular, the Personal Data that is subject to this CPA is: data necessary for manufacture and sale of Aligner Products and services to Customer’s patients.
    • The Personal Data is processed by Processor on behalf of Controller for the purpose(s) of: manufacture and sale of Aligner Products to Customer’s patients.  This Personal Data shall be processed by Processor on behalf of Controller for the term of the T&Cs.
    • The Parties agree that Controller is responsible for compliance as a “controller” with respect to the services and Processor is responsible for compliance as a “processor” with all applicable data privacy laws (including without limitation the GDPR) and with the obligations established under this CPA.
    • Processor shall process Personal on behalf of Controller, as necessary to perform its obligations under the agreements between the Parties and strictly in accordance with documented instructions from Controller, including with regard to transfers of Personal Data to countries besides the intended recipient country and will not process such Personal Data in any other way or for any other purpose, except where otherwise required by any applicable European Union (“EU”) (or any EU member state) law. In no event shall Processor process the Personal Data for its own purposes or those of any third party (unless Processor is instructed to do so by Controller).
    • Controller´s instructions to Processor are to provide the services such as enshrined in the applicable service descriptions and the T&Cs. If Controller issues additional instructions, Controller will reimburse the Processor for any resulting costs on a time and material basis. Processor will inform Controller about such additional costs before commencing work, and will only commence work if Controller has approved the additional costs.

 

  1. Transfers of Personal Data outside the EU or European Economic Area (“EEA”).
    • The following provisions shall apply to transfers of Personal Data to countries outside of the EU or EEA, except where the EU Commission has decided that the third country, a territory or one or more specified sectors within that third country ensures an adequate level of protection (Article 45 GDPR).
    • If the Processor is located outside of the countries or areas mentioned in section 1, the transfer of Personal Data shall be subject to Standard Contract Clauses for Controller-to-Processor transfers as determined in Commission Decision 2010/87/EU (“C2P SCCs“), which are hereby taken into reference and form part of this agreement. Any transfer from the Processor to a further processor (therefore a “Sub-Processor”) located outside the EU, EEA or a third country with an adequate level of data protection shall be treated as sub-processing according to the C2P SCC.
    • If the Processor is located within the countries or areas mentioned in section 1, but a Sub-Processor is located outside of such a country or area, the transfer of Personal Data to the Sub-Processor shall be subject to C2P SCCs, which shall be concluded between the Controller and the Sub-Processor. To that end, Controller instructs and authorizes Processor to enter into C2P SCCs with such Sub-Processors in the name and on behalf of Controller, and releases Processor from any prohibition of self-contracting, if applicable. Controller shall be data exporter and any Sub-Processor bound by the C2P SCC shall be data importer. Controller agrees to exercise any rights under the C2P SCC through the Processor, by instructing the Processor to use such rights as requested.
    • Section 3 shall apply mutatis mutandis in cases where Processor and Sub-Processor are located in countries or areas mentioned in section 2.1, but a Sub-Processor is located outside of such country or area. If so, the Sub-Processor shall have the same tasks, powers, rights and obligations as the Processor under section 2.3.
    • The Appendices of the C2P SCC are filled as follows:
      • Data exporter is the Controller.
      • Data importer is the Processor (in case of section 2 above) or the Sub-Processor (in case of section 2.3 above) or the Sub-Sub-Processor (in case of section 2.4 above).
      • Data subjects are the patients of Controller.
      • Categories of data shall be the same as specified in section 2 of this CPA.
      • Special categories of data shall be health data, as further specified in section 2 of this CPA.
      • Processing operations shall be those activities that are necessary for manufacture and sale of Aligner Products to Customer’s patients, as further specified in the Terms & Conditions and, in respect of Sub-Processors, in section 1of this CPA.
    • The law governing the C2P SCC shall be the law of the location of the data exporter.

 

  1. Security of processing
    • Processor represents that Processor and each Sub-Processor and Sub-Sub-Processor has implemented and maintains appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks for the rights and freedoms of persons, taking into account the nature, context, purposes and scope of processing, the costs of implementation and the information available to Processor. In particular, Processor will protect the Personal Data from: (i) accidental or unlawful destruction; and (ii) loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of or access to the Personal Data.

Such measures shall include, as appropriate:

  • the pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data;
  • the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
  • the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
  • a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the processing;
  • keeping the Data separate from the data and information of its other customers; as well as
  • any other such security measures as notified in writing from time to time by the Controller.
    • Processor shall inform Controller without undue delay, and where feasible within 72 hours after having become aware, of any data breach concerning Personal Data (as defined by the GDPR) processed by Processor on behalf of Controller.
    • Processor undertakes a duty of confidentiality and professional secrecy and represents that Processor authorizes individuals to process the Personal Data on Processor’s behalf on a strict “need-to”-basis and that these authorized individuals have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality.

 

  1. Accountability
    • Where necessary, Processor shall promptly inform Controller if the processing of Personal Data by Processor is likely to result in a high risk to the data protection rights and freedoms of data subjects. Processor shall assist Controller with conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (as defined by the GDPR) for the Processing of Personal Data by Processor on behalf of Controller.
    • Processor shall make available to Controller all information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the Regulation and shall allow for and contribute to audits conducted or mandated by Controller.

 

  1. Rights of the individuals and cooperation. Processor shall assist Controller by implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, for the fulfilment of Controller’s obligations to respond to, as applicable, requests for transparency, access, rectification, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability of Personal Data required by the Regulation and any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject, regulator or other third party in connection with the processing of Personal Data.  In the event that any such request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint is made directly to Processor, Processor shall promptly inform Controller providing full details of the same.

When receiving a right of erasure request, Processor will restrict processing of Personal Data within five (5) days relating to such request and communicate the same obligation to any Sub-Processor engaged with processing on behalf of Processor hereunder.

 

  1. Sub-Processors
    • Controller authorizes Processor to use the following Sub-Processors for the processing of Personal Data to perform the following services pursuant to the T&Cs on behalf of Controller:
      • ClearPath Orthodontics (PVT) Ltd., ClearPathOrthodontics, LLC and/or DentoCorrect Ltd. to manufacture the Aligner Products;
      • Ortho Organizers, Inc. (a Henry Schein, Inc. subsidiary) to review the product and case;
      • Henry Schein One, LLC for provision and maintenance of the DDX software used to enable the manufacture the Aligner Products;
      • MSG Minnesota, Inc., supporting lab scanning processes and information flow; and
      • Advanced Dental Laboratories Ltd., Ambridge Ceramics Limited and/or other third party labs to be subsequently identified hereunder for UK customers that do not use a 3Shape scanner to create and transmit the data from an impression to be used for manufacturing the Aligner Products, with these Sub-Processors instead transmitting the data from the impression to be used for manufacturing the Aligner Products.

Processor represents that the same data privacy obligations as set out in this CPA have been imposed on each of its sub-processors (“Sub-Processors”) by contract, in particular with regard to providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures and that Processor shall remain fully liable for any data breach caused by an act, error or omission of its Sub-Processors.

  • Processor shall inform Controller of the identity and services provided by any Sub-Processors having access to Controller’s data falling under EU data protection laws before entering in a new subcontracting relationship, giving Controller the opportunity to object to such changes. This communication will be done either through an update of the information available to the Controller in the customer portal for the service, or in writing (e.g. email notification with acknowledge of receipt or other mechanism that ensures reception), and Controller should have ten (10) days to approve or reject the Sub-Processor. If the Controller remains silent, this is regarded as acceptance of the new Sub-Processor. If Controller does not approve the Sub-Processor, Processor is entitled to terminate the T&Cs (including this CPA) with immediate effect through written notice to Controller in its sole discretion.
  • If a Sub-Processor is engaged by Processor to perform services pursuant to the T&Cs, Processor represents that the same data privacy obligations as set out in this CPA shall be imposed on the Sub-Processor by contract, in particular with regard to providing sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures.

 

  1. End of Services. After the end of the provision of services in accordance with the T&Cs, Processor shall securely delete or return all Personal Data to Controller, at the choice of Controller, and securely delete all copies thereof unless the EU or an EU member state law requires ongoing storage of Personal Data.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Processor may temporarily keep a copy of certain Personal Data when necessary to comply with a legal obligation, as long as such Personal Data is properly isolated from other data and securely stored with restricted access to the extent required by applicable law. Once such obligation has expired, Processor will securely delete all Personal Data.
