Terms and Conditions
Membership/Discount Plan Summary
This Agreement explains the terms that you agree to, once you enroll in this plan, which is administered by the Discount Medical Plan Organization, Plan Forward, Inc. (“Plan Forward”). By enrolling, you acknowledge that you have read these terms and agree to be bound by them.
The plan is a membership/discount plan and membership entitles you to receive discounts on certain services provided at the dental practice, at prices which are listed in the Savings Summary. These discounts may vary depending on the participating Provider and the services that you receive. These savings, which are calculated as a % off the Provider’s Usual & Customary Rates (UCR) may vary as UCR changes. From time to time, the Savings Summary may be updated, which may affect the discount you receive for applicable services.
Please visit the website at www.planforward.io/legal to view a list of the participating providers who offer this plan. Plan Forward does not guarantee the continued participation of any Provider. A Provider can terminate their participation in the Plan at any time, without any prior notice. In such cases, members can select a new Provider from the list of participating providers, listed on this website. Or if the member prefers, they may cancel their membership and may be entitled to a refund according to our Cancellation Policy (Section 8).
Members must pay the Provider for dentistry services at the time of service, according to their policies on payment and their fee schedule. Plan Forward will not reimburse the Provider for any portion of the fees owed. Providers are solely responsible for the services and products that members receive. Plan Forward has no liability with respect to the provision of such services and products.
Note that this plan is NOT insurance and may not be used if you are a part of any other discounted health program or have any government or private insurance.
Providers may, at their discretion, offer services or products to the general public at prices lower than the Savings Summary prices available through the Plan Subscription.
Plan Forward is not responsible for the services or products provided with the membership, and is not liable for any misdiagnoses, treatment errors, or other acts or omissions of the Providers. In addition, we cannot guarantee that a Provider will continue to participate in the Plan.

- Payments
Members may choose to pay Subscription Fees monthly. If Billing fails, the Member is not eligible for discounted services until their billing method is updated, and the payment is reprocessed successfully. After a period of time without updating their payment method, they will no longer be considered Active, and they will no longer be eligible for discounted services. When this Inactive Member updates their billing method and pays back their missed payments, then they will once again be considered Active and eligible for the discounted services offered by the Plan.
If a Member is Inactive, they are no longer eligible for the benefits of membership, and Providers have the option to charge the regular price for procedures completed.
When a Member makes a payment for Subscription Fees, the payment is processed by a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”). Plan Forward is not responsible for any errors of the Payment Processor.
By enrolling/renewing a Plan or by adding a new member to a Plan, Member agrees to pay Plan Forward and have that payment processed by the Payment Processor and Member authorizes Plan Forward, through the Payment Processor, to charge their billing method.
You may change your Payment Method at any time by contacting Member Support.
- Contract Term/Renewal
Members select to pay for their membership monthly or annually. When a Member enrolls, they are giving Plan Forward permission to charge the billing method for membership for the initial term and for the renewal term(s). If the Member opts for an annual payment, then you will be billed the annual amount plus an enrollment fee/processing fee/renewal fee, as applicable. If the Member opts for the monthly payment, then you will be billed an enrollment fee/processing fee/renewal fee, as applicable, plus twelve (12) equal monthly payments which will be charged to your billing method on file until you update it.
The initial term will start on the Effective Date and continue for twelve (12) months from that date. The Plan will automatically renew for an additional 1-year term at the end of 12 months, and unless the billing method has been updated, the fees will be automatically charged to the billing method on file. The billing frequency (monthly or annually) will carry over from the initial term; however, the Plan price may change in which case, Members will be alerted 30- and 60- days prior to the renewal. The Plan will remain in effect, and the Member will be Active and eligible for discounts until the Member cancels the plan in accordance with Section 8. Member is responsible for ensuring that their contact details are accurate and up to date. Although the Member may elect an annual or monthly payment frequency, all memberships are annual contracts.

- Miscellaneous Terms
- Warranty Disclaimer. Plan Forward and its partners, affiliates, and any of their respective officers, board members, agents, employees, consultants, contract employees, representatives, or agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns make no representations or warranties concerning the Plan, including but not limited to the quality of services rendered by Providers. The aforementioned parties are not responsible for any claims, actions, requests for damages, or lawsuits which may arise out of, or be caused in any way, by any provider or any other entity in relation to this Plan or your participation in the Plan. The Plan contains no express or implied warranties of any kind and is provided to you on an “as is” basis. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
- Limitation of Liability. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS) SHALL THE COMPANY OR ANYONE RELATED TO THE COMPANY OR ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, (B) ANY SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, (C) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS PAID AND/OR PAYABLE BY YOU TO COMPANY IN CONNECTION WITH THE PLAN IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE APPLICABLE CLAIM AND/OR (D) ANY MATTER BEYOND COMPANY’S REASONABLE CONTROL. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR CERTAIN OTHER DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION AND EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
- Assignment. You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder, or your Plan account without Plan Forward’s prior written consent. Plan Forward may transfer, assign, or delegate these Member Terms and our rights and obligations without consent.
- Choice of Law. Unless the parties otherwise agree, this agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., and if for any reason a claim or dispute is not arbitrated, you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in Delaware for all disputes arising out of or relating to the use of the Plan Forward Services. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Plan Forward as a result of your use of Plan Forward Services. Plan Forward’s performance is subject to existing laws and legal process, and nothing contained in these Terms derogates Plan Forward’s right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of Plan Forward Services or information provided to or gathered by Plan Forward with respect to such use.
Arbitration Clause: Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of Plan Forward Services shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will take place in Delaware, unless the parties agree otherwise. The arbitration decision will be binding on both parties, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator will have the authority to award legal and equitable relief, including interim or preliminary injunctive relief. This arbitration provision does not restrict either party’s right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of its jurisdiction.
Arbitration Agreement. Please read the following Arbitration Agreement carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Company and limits the ways in which you can attempt to recover relief from the Company under this Plan. Both you and Company acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of this Plan, Company’s officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, or anyone else acting on behalf of the Company, are third- party beneficiaries of these terms, and that upon your acceptance of these terms, these terms may be enforced against you by any third-party beneficiary.
- Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. The parties shall attempt to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating arbitration. If any dispute is not resolved through such negotiations, it shall be settled by binding arbitration in Kent County, Delaware. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”), by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Costs of Arbitration. The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Company will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than seventy-five thousand ($10,000) dollars. Company will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
iii. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and Company are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and Company over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
- Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Company is entitled to arbitration; instead, all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (6) below.
- Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the address set forth above, postmarked within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (i) your name and residence address, (ii) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account, and (iii) a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.
- Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (5), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or Company to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party, and both you and Company agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Kent County, Delaware.
vii. Severability. If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration Agreement section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Company.
