3. No Professional Relationship Created by Website Use
Accessing the Website, submitting a contact form, scheduling a discovery call, requesting information, downloading a resource, or communicating with KLAS does not automatically create a coaching, consulting, fiduciary, employment, partnership, joint-venture, agency, accountant-client, attorney-client, or other professional relationship.
A formal coaching or consulting relationship is created only after KLAS and the client enter into an applicable written agreement or complete an authorized enrollment process.
KLAS may accept or decline any prospective engagement in its discretion.
4. Business Coaching and Consulting Only
KLAS provides business, leadership, operational, financial-management, educational, and practice-development coaching.
Unless expressly stated in a separate written agreement, KLAS does not assume operational control of the client’s dental practice and does not act as the practice’s owner, manager, employer, accountant, attorney, compliance officer, clinical director, billing company, or financial adviser.
The client retains complete responsibility for operating and managing the dental practice.
5. No Dental or Clinical Advice
KLAS does not provide dental diagnosis, dental treatment, medical treatment, patient-specific clinical advice, or clinical supervision through the Website or its business-coaching services.
Nothing provided by KLAS should replace the independent professional judgment of a licensed dentist, dental hygienist, physician, or other appropriately licensed healthcare professional.
Dental practices and licensed providers remain solely responsible for:
- Patient examinations;
- Diagnoses;
- Treatment recommendations;
- Clinical documentation;
- Medical necessity;
- Radiographs and diagnostic testing;
- Prescribing;
- Informed consent;
- Infection control;
- Patient safety;
- Clinical delegation;
- Standards of care; and
- Compliance with dental-board and professional licensing requirements.
Any discussion of clinical services, hygiene programs, periodontal protocols, diagnostic procedures, case presentation, or treatment opportunities is intended for business and operational analysis and does not direct the treatment of an individual patient.
6. No Legal, Tax, Accounting, Financial, Coding, or Regulatory Advice
Unless expressly included in a separate written agreement and performed by an appropriately qualified professional, the Website and KLAS coaching services do not constitute:

Information concerning employment, billing, coding, payer policies, HIPAA, OSHA, cybersecurity, compensation plans, incentive programs, taxes, accounting, or regulatory compliance is provided for educational and operational-planning purposes.
Clients should consult appropriately licensed attorneys, accountants, tax professionals, coding specialists, compliance advisers, insurance professionals, and other qualified experts before making decisions requiring professional advice.
7. Client Responsibility for Decisions and Implementation
KLAS may provide recommendations, coaching, scorecards, benchmarks, action plans, assessments, estimates, frameworks, templates, or implementation guidance.

KLAS does not have authority to bind the client, enter into contracts for the client, hire or terminate employees, submit insurance claims, alter patient records, or direct patient treatment unless expressly authorized in a separate written agreement and permitted by law.
8. No Guarantee of Results
Dental-practice results depend on numerous factors outside KLAS’s control, including leadership, implementation, personnel, patient demand, payer behavior, reimbursement, competition, location, staffing, market conditions, technology, economic conditions, data quality, and applicable laws.
KLAS does not guarantee:
- Increased production, collections, profitability, cash flow, or practice value;

- Achievement of a specific KPI or benchmark;
- Increased new-patient volume;

- Compliance with legal or regulatory requirements;
- Avoidance of audits, claims, penalties, investigations, or litigation;
- Continuing-education approval for every participant or jurisdiction;
- Results within a particular timeframe; or
- That a program will pay for itself.
Examples, testimonials, revenue opportunities, savings estimates, performance figures, benchmark comparisons, return-on-investment statements, and client results are illustrative only.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
9. Revenue-Opportunity Estimates
KLAS assessments or reports may identify estimated revenue opportunities, financial gaps, potential savings, production capacity, recoverable receivables, unscheduled treatment, hygiene opportunities, or other potential financial improvements.
These figures are estimates based on assumptions, available data, industry benchmarks, professional observations, and information supplied by the client.
Revenue-opportunity estimates:
- Are not guarantees of future revenue;
- Are not appraisals or financial forecasts;
- May not account for all expenses required to implement a recommendation;
- May depend on patient acceptance, staffing, scheduling capacity, payer coverage, collections, and clinical judgment;
- May be affected by inaccuracies or omissions in client data;
- May not be fully achievable;
- May overlap with other identified opportunities; and
- Should not be treated as earned or collectible revenue.
The client is responsible for independently evaluating the feasibility, legality, costs, and clinical appropriateness of each opportunity.
10. Practice Health Assessments
A Practice Health Assessment or similar evaluation may include review of practice operations, financial performance, scheduling, hygiene, accounts receivable, treatment planning, team performance, fees, case acceptance, patient flow, marketing, systems, leadership, and other practice information.
Unless otherwise stated in a signed agreement, a Practice Health Assessment:
- Is advisory and consultative;
- Is based on information available during the assessment period;
- May rely on client-supplied reports and interviews;
- Is not an audit, examination, attestation, appraisal, certification, legal opinion, or compliance investigation;
- Does not verify every transaction, patient record, claim, code, control, or legal obligation;
- Does not guarantee that all errors, risks, liabilities, or opportunities will be identified;
- Reflects conditions as of the assessment period;
- May become outdated after delivery; and
- Is intended for the client’s internal business use.
KLAS may rely on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by the client.
KLAS is not responsible for findings or recommendations affected by:
- Missing records;
- Inaccurate reports;
- Improper data-entry practices;
- Inconsistent accounting methods;
- Undisclosed liabilities;
- Software-report limitations;
- Incorrect procedure coding;
- Incomplete interviews;
- Changes occurring after the assessment; or
- Information withheld by the client or its representatives.
11. Practice Scorecards and KPI Dashboards
Practice Scorecards, KPI dashboards, grades, trends, comparisons, and related reports are designed to provide business-performance insights.
They are not audited financial statements, clinical quality measurements, legal-compliance certifications, business valuations, or guarantees of performance.
The client acknowledges that:
- KPI calculations depend on the accuracy and consistency of source data;
- Different software systems may define or calculate metrics differently;
- Historical records may contain entry errors;
- Adjustments, write-offs, refunds, transfers, or provider classifications may affect results;
- Dashboard information may not update in real time;
- Benchmarks may change over time; and
- A score or grade should be interpreted in the context of the practice’s circumstances.
The client is responsible for reviewing dashboard information and promptly reporting suspected errors.
12. Benchmarks and Comparative Data
KLAS may use proprietary data, aggregated practice information, published industry information, professional experience, third-party sources, or other information to create dental benchmarks.
Benchmarks are intended as reference points only.
They are not:
- Mandatory professional standards;
- Legal requirements;
- Guaranteed performance targets;
- Clinical standards of care;
- Universal recommendations; or
- Representations that every comparable practice will achieve the same result.
Appropriate performance levels may vary based on specialty, geography, practice size, provider mix, payer mix, accounting methods, staffing, patient demographics, hours, ownership structure, clinical philosophy, and other factors.
KLAS may revise methodologies or benchmarks as new information becomes available.
13. Dental Practice Data
Clients may be asked to provide practice-management reports, accounting information, scheduling information, production reports, collections reports, accounts-receivable reports, hygiene reports, treatment-plan information, staffing information, payroll information, and other operational data.
By providing information to KLAS, the client represents that:
- The information is accurate and not materially misleading;
- The client has authority to provide it;
- Required permissions and consents have been obtained;
- Disclosure does not violate a law, contract, confidentiality obligation, or third-party right; and
- KLAS may use the information to perform the requested services.
The client is responsible for reviewing submitted data and correcting material errors or omissions.
14. Protected Health Information and HIPAA
General Website forms are not intended for the submission of protected health information or identifiable patient information.
Unless KLAS expressly authorizes a secure method, do not submit through the Website:
- Patient names;

Where KLAS will create, receive, maintain, or transmit protected health information on behalf of a covered entity or business associate, the parties will determine whether a Business Associate Agreement is required.
When required, an appropriate Business Associate Agreement must be executed before protected health information is provided.
Clients should provide de-identified, aggregated, redacted, or minimum-necessary data whenever reasonably possible.
The client remains responsible for determining:
- Whether information constitutes protected health information;
- Whether disclosure is permitted;
- Whether patient authorization is required;
- Whether a Business Associate Agreement is necessary;
- Whether data has been sufficiently de-identified; and
- Whether the selected transmission method is appropriate.
15. Confidential Business Information
KLAS may receive confidential business information, including financial records, compensation information, employee information, practice reports, payer information, workflows, strategic plans, and internal communications.

- Bank-account credentials;
- Full payment-card information;
- Social Security numbers;
- Unredacted tax returns;

- Obtaining any consent required by law or practice policy;
- Ensuring participation does not violate an employment agreement or legal obligation;
- Avoiding retaliation against participants;

- Consulting employment counsel when necessary.
KLAS may summarize themes or observations without attributing specific statements to an individual, unless disclosure is authorized, required by law, necessary to address a serious safety or legal concern, or otherwise permitted under the applicable service agreement.
“Confidential” does not necessarily mean legally privileged.
Communications with KLAS are generally not protected by attorney-client, psychotherapist-patient, or similar legal privileges.
17. Leadership and Behavioral Assessments
KLAS may use leadership, workplace, personality, communication, team-effectiveness, or behavioral assessments.
Such assessments are intended for coaching and professional-development purposes and are not:
- Psychological diagnoses;
- Medical evaluations;
- Fitness-for-duty examinations;
- Employment-selection validations;
- Guarantees of future performance; or
- Substitutes for advice from qualified human-resources or employment-law professionals.
Clients are responsible for determining whether and how an assessment may lawfully be used in hiring, promotion, discipline, compensation, or termination decisions.
KLAS does not recommend making an adverse employment decision based solely on a coaching or behavioral assessment.

21. Recorded Meetings, Webinars, and Training
Webinars, group sessions, coaching sessions, training events, or individual meetings may be recorded for documentation, education, quality assurance, internal training, or follow-up.
KLAS will provide notice or obtain consent when required by applicable law.
By knowingly participating after being informed that a session is being recorded, you consent to the recording and its use for the disclosed purposes.
Clients are responsible for informing their employees, contractors, or invited participants when required and for ensuring that individuals who should not be recorded do not participate.
Recordings containing identifiable client information will not be used publicly for marketing without appropriate authorization.
Participants must not disclose protected health information during a recorded meeting unless the parties have approved an appropriate secure process and any required agreements are in place.
22. Client Systems and Software Access

KLAS may introduce a client to accountants, attorneys, lenders, marketing professionals, transition advisers, real estate professionals, technology providers, billing companies, insurance professionals, or other service providers.
KLAS may also introduce the client to another KLAS division offering separate services.
Unless expressly stated in a written agreement:
- Separate services require separate engagement terms;

- Third-party providers are independent from KLAS;
- KLAS does not control a third party’s advice, fees, availability, conduct, security, or performance; and

An introduction or referral does not guarantee or warrant a provider’s services.

By submitting a form, you represent that:
- The information is accurate;

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE WEBSITE AND WEBSITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.
KLAS DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF:
- MERCHANTABILITY;
- FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
- TITLE;
- NON-INFRINGEMENT;
- ACCURACY;
- COMPLETENESS; AND
- QUIET ENJOYMENT.
KLAS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT WEBSITE CONTENT, ASSESSMENTS, BENCHMARKS, DASHBOARDS, RECOMMENDATIONS, EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, OR COACHING SERVICES WILL BE ERROR-FREE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR APPROPRIATE FOR EVERY PRACTICE.
Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
38. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, KLAS SOLUTIONS, LLC AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, COACHES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO:

Liability arising from a separate coaching, assessment, scorecard, training, or consulting engagement will be governed by the applicable signed agreement.

39. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KLAS Solutions, LLC and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, coaches, agents, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising from:
- Your unlawful or unauthorized Website use;
- Information or materials you submit;

This provision does not require indemnification to the extent prohibited by applicable law.
40. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
41. Informal Dispute Resolution
Before filing a lawsuit arising exclusively from Website use, the complaining party must provide written notice describing:
- The nature of the dispute;
- The relevant facts;
- The relief requested; and
- The party’s contact information.
The parties will make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty days after receipt of the notice.
This section does not prevent either party from seeking immediate injunctive relief where necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, or other rights from imminent harm.
42. Venue and Jurisdiction
Any legal action arising exclusively from Website use and not governed by a separate written agreement must be brought in a state or federal court having jurisdiction in Greenville County, South Carolina.
You and KLAS consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.
A separately signed coaching, consulting, assessment, membership, or service agreement may contain different mediation, arbitration, governing-law, or venue provisions. Where applicable, the signed agreement controls disputes arising from that engagement.
43. Time Limit for Website Claims
To the fullest extent permitted by law, a claim arising exclusively from Website use must be filed within one year after the event giving rise to the claim.
This section does not shorten a limitations period where prohibited by law and does not override a different period contained in a separately signed agreement.
44. Termination
KLAS may suspend or terminate your Website access if you:
- Violate these Terms;
- Misuse Website resources;
- Infringe intellectual-property rights;
- Threaten Website security;
- Engage in fraudulent activity;
- Abuse another participant or KLAS representative; or
- Use the Website in an unlawful or harmful manner.
Provisions that should survive termination—including intellectual-property provisions, confidentiality obligations, disclaimers, liability limitations, indemnification, and dispute provisions—will continue to apply.
45. Changes to These Terms
KLAS may update these Terms periodically.
When changes are made, the revised Terms will be posted on this page and the “Last Updated” date will be revised.
Changes become effective when posted unless a later effective date is stated.
Your continued use of the Website after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Material changes affecting an existing paid engagement remain subject to the applicable service agreement.
46. Severability
If a provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
If modification is not possible, the provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
47. No Waiver
KLAS’s failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.
A waiver is effective only when made in writing by an authorized KLAS representative.
48. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without KLAS’s prior written consent.
KLAS may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, corporate restructuring, or transfer of the Website or related business operations.
49. Force Majeure
KLAS will not be liable for delay or failure caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather, fire, utility failure, internet or telecommunications failure, cyberattack, epidemic, pandemic, labor dispute, government action, civil unrest, transportation disruption, or failure of a third-party provider.
50. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented during a Website transaction, constitute the entire agreement concerning general Website use.
Separate written agreements govern paid coaching, assessments, scorecards, memberships, continuing-education programs, training, and consulting services.
If these Website Terms conflict with a signed or specifically accepted service agreement, the service agreement controls with respect to the applicable paid services.
