Terms and Conditions
Effective as of 1st February 2023

TRIOS Care

TRIOS Care is a subsription offered to end-users of TRIOS 3 Basic, TRIOS 3, TRIOS 3 Wireless, TRIOS 4, TRIOS 5 and newer versions, in combination with a pod or Move+ solution (the “TRIOS System”) on a number of services described in these terms and conditions. The terms and conditions constitute an agreement between 3Shape (as defined below) and an end-user of a TRIOS System (“End-user”).

License to 3Shape software is provided under the General License Terms and Conditions for 3Shape Software. In case of discrepancies, the General License Terms and Conditions for 3Shape Software shall prevail.

License to TRIOS Scanning software

TRIOS Care includes the license to software included with the TRIOS System, exclusive of any software licenses added by means of promotions (TRIOS Care Software). Additional software licenses for other 3Shape or 3rd party software may be acquired separately.

Software Updates

3Shape will provide for all TRIOS Care subscribers to update their TRIOS Care Software to the latest versions of the TRIOS Care Software. Software updates will be made available to End-user when they are approved in the end-user’s jurisdiction. 3Shape may at any time deny support to End-users who fail to update their software to the latest version available in their location.

Additional Features

Selected software features may be made available only to TRIOS Care End-users, although 3Shape does not offer any guarantee that all features will be released to TRIOS Care End-users nor that 3Shape will release new features. The availability of features is dependent on regulatory approval in the End-user’s jurisdiction.

5 Year Extended Warranty and Express Replacement

TRIOS Care extended warranty covers the TRIOS System. 3Shape warrants that the TRIOS System hardware is free from defects in material and labor and will perform according to specifications for a warranty period of up to five (5) years from first date of acceptance of these terms and provided the TRIOS Care terms are complied with and in force (“Warranty Period”). The extended warranty extends to accessories like pods, dongles, and chargers. However, no extended warranty is offered on third party products, such as PC’s nor for consumable products like tips, calibration targets, batteries, and cords.

During the Warranty Period, 3Shape will at its discretion replace or repair itself or through subcontractors any TRIOS System, which fails to perform to its specifications provided that the TRIOS System was used and maintained in accordance with the applicable operator maintenance instructions. In case of replacement, 3Shape commits to replace the TRIOS System with a quality tested and refurbished similar TRIOS System of at least the same version as the damaged TRIOS System. In jurisdictions where offering replacement is not logistically or otherwise feasible, 3Shape will offer a repair service and attempt to make a loaner-scanner available during the repair period.

This warranty does not cover failures due to misuse, abuse, negligence, or repairs or alterations by the End-user or by third parties other than 3Shape or 3Shape's subcontractors. This warranty covers up to three (3) repairs or replacements occurring as the result of unforeseen accidents like drops, natural disasters, or the like. The categorization of an accident is determined solely by 3Shape upon input from End-user.
3Shape will cover shipment costs associated with repair or replacement of the TRIOS System. A request for repair or replacement under warranty must be received by 3Shape support either by phone or at [email protected] within the Warranty Period.
3Shape strives to replace or repair the TRIOS System under warranty as fast as possible. The period from the end-user’s request for repair or replacement until delivery of the repaired or replaced TRIOS System will be subject to 3Shape’s logistical setup, local conditions, and several factors outside 3Shape’s control, including but not limited to customs clearance and cross docking with 3Shape resellers. 3Shape is not liable for any loss of business as a result of repair and replacement times.
In case of a replacement or having been provided with a loaner scanner, the End-user is responsible for returning the defective or borrowed TRIOS System to 3Shape without unnecessary delay after receipt of the replacement or repaired scanner. Failure to return the defective or borrowed scanner provides 3Shape with the right to suspend the TRIOS Care Software license until the defective or borrowed scanner is received by 3Shape. Note that the warranty period of up to 5 years will be based on the original Warranty Period and not the date of the repaired or the replaced product’s deployment.

Additional benefits

Under these terms for TRIOS Care, the End-user will be eligible to receive a discount on additional TRIOS Care subscriptions, e.g. if the End-user acquires an additional TRIOS Scanner, TRIOS Care on that scanner will be offered with a discount.
3Shape may offer a trade-up program and other discounts to End-users who wish to upgrade their current TRIOS Scanner to a newer version or purchase other 3Shape products. The value of the trade-up program and discounts is at 3Shape’s discretion and may vary.
Under TRIOS Care, the End user will receive 100 complimentary points that may be redeemed through 3Shape Academy’s booking solution in exchange for selected offerings available on this booking platform.
Under TRIOS Care, the End user can schedule a yearly session with a Dental Expert through 3Shape Academy’s book-ing solution.

Payment & Term

Annual or monthly payment, annual contract

TRIOS Care is activated upon the acceptance of these terms, and the End-User will be invoiced by 3Shape or the Reseller from whom the end-user purchases TRIOS Care (‘Reseller’) on the 1st of the month following acceptance. The TRIOS Care subscription will renew on every anniversary of the acceptance (‘Renewal Date’) subject to termination or downgrade, cf. below. The End-user will be invoiced the then-current rate for TRIOS Care, plus applicable taxes, every year or on a monthly basis until termination or downgrade of the TRIOS Care subscription. 3Shape may at their discretion offer promotions or free trial periods which may superseede this section.

Termination of license

The End-user may at any time terminate their TRIOS Care subscription by written notice to the Reseller or, if available to End-user, via 3Shape’s eCommerce platform with immediate effect. Upon termination, the license to TRIOS Care Software is terminated and fees already paid are not refunded to the End-user. Consequently, the End-user will not be able to use any TRIOS Care software, and this may affect the operability of other 3Shape software acquired separately from TRIOS Care Software. 3Shape may terminate TRIOS Care license with a 3-month notice to the End-user and if applicable, refund any amount paid by End-user or Reseller for the remaining period until the Renewal Date.

Downgrade to TRIOS Only

The End-user may downgrade to TRIOS Only at the earliest during the last 90 days before the first Renewal Date, or at any time in the following years by written notice to the Reseller or, if available via 3Shape’s eCommerce platform. Upon receipt of downgrade notice the TRIOS Care subscription will be downgraded to TRIOS Only on the first following Renewal Date. Upon downgrade from TRIOS Care to TRIOS Only, the terms and conditions of TRIOS Only will apply, see below.

Payment and Failure to pay

If the End-user terminates their TRIOS Care subscription or downgrades to TRIOS Only as described above within fourteen (14) days of the Renewal Date and the associated invoice has been paid, the End-user or the End-user’s Reseller will be refunded for the associated invoice. Should the End-user choose to terminate or downgrade to TRIOS Only after 14 days, the payment is non-refundable, and TRIOS Care service will continue until the first following Renewal Date.

Upon failure by the End-user to pay for TRIOS Care in full and on time, 3Shape will be entitled to terminate the End-user’s TRIOS Care subscription, including the TRIOS Care software, on the Renewal Date.
