This agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [Business legal name] ("Cyclo", "we", "us"), which runs the Cyclo website and app (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, including the free demo and the free school directory, you agree to these Terms, to our Privacy Policy, and to our Sources and disclosures, which are part of these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
Who can use Cyclo
- You must be at least 16 years old to use Cyclo with your own information.
- If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you, and is responsible for your use of the Service.
- Cyclo is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
- A purchase is for one person. Don't share, sell or transfer your access.
What Cyclo is, and isn't
Cyclo is a tool for organizing and planning a dental school application: tracking courses and GPAs, DAT scores, shadowing, letters, a school list, deadlines and costs. It is independent and is not affiliated with ADEA, AADSAS, TMDSAS, the ADA, CODA or any school (see disclosures).
- Not advice. Cyclo doesn't provide admissions counseling or academic, financial, legal or medical advice. Decisions about your application are yours.
- No guarantee of results. Using Cyclo doesn't guarantee admission, an interview, a scholarship, or any other outcome.
- Estimates. GPAs, projections, DAT scale conversions, percentiles, costs and similar figures are estimates (see how they're calculated). Official numbers come from AADSAS, TMDSAS, the DAT program and the schools.
- Not an application. Cyclo doesn't submit anything to schools or application services for you.
School and admissions information
School information in Cyclo is gathered from public sources and summarized by us. It may be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, and schools change their requirements, deadlines and costs without telling us. You are responsible for confirming any information with the school or application service before relying on it. We may add, correct or remove school information at any time.
Deadlines are your responsibility. Dates and reminders in Cyclo are a convenience. We are not responsible for a missed deadline or requirement, whatever the cause, including incorrect or missing information or a reminder that didn't arrive.
Your information
You own what you put into Cyclo: your courses, grades, scores, notes, drafts and other content ("Your Content"). You give us permission to store, process and display Your Content only as needed to run the Service for you, as described in the Privacy Policy.
- You are responsible for the accuracy of Your Content. Cyclo's calculations are only as accurate as what you enter.
- Only enter information about other people (such as dentists and recommenders) that you have a right to share and that you need for your application.
- Without an account, Your Content is saved only in your web browser on that device. Clearing your browser data, using private browsing, or switching devices can erase it or leave it behind. Keep your own copies of anything important. We are not responsible for lost data.
The free demo and free directory
The demo shows a made-up student so you can try Cyclo. Changes you make in the demo are temporary and are cleared each day; don't enter your own information there. The school directory is free to browse. Both are provided as they are, and we may change or end them at any time.
Price and access
- No free trial. Cyclo doesn't offer a free trial of the paid Service. The free demo shows every feature with a sample student, so you can see exactly what you're buying first.
- One payment, not a subscription. Full access costs $97 (US dollars, plus any tax that applies), paid once. You won't be charged again automatically.
- How long access lasts. A purchase covers one application cycle: access lasts until [August 31] of the year in which the dental school class you're applying for begins. For example, a purchase for the 2027-28 AADSAS cycle (for classes starting in 2028) lasts until [August 31, 2028]. The cycle you're buying for, and the end date, are shown before you pay.
- Payments are handled by our payment processor, Stripe, under its own terms. We never see or store your full card number.
- Prices may change for future purchases. A change never affects access you've already paid for.
Refunds
Because the free demo lets you try every feature before you buy, and because what you get from Cyclo (your calculations, plans and organized records) is delivered as soon as you use it, purchases are final and not refundable, except in these cases:
- You were charged more than once for the same purchase, or charged by mistake.
- The paid features were unavailable for a long stretch because of a problem on our side, and we couldn't fix it.
- The law where you live gives you a right to a refund.
To ask for a refund, email [contact email] within 30 days of the charge with the email address you used to pay. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method, usually within 5 to 10 business days. Please contact us before disputing a charge with your bank, so we can fix it quickly.
Using Cyclo fairly
You agree not to:
- Copy, scrape, download in bulk, resell or republish Cyclo's school directory or other content, or use it to build a competing product.
- Share your access, or use the demo as a substitute for a paid account.
- Break, probe, overload or get around the Service's security or payment checks, or reverse engineer it except where the law allows.
- Upload anything unlawful, harmful or that you don't have the right to share, or use the Service to harass anyone.
- Use automated tools (bots, crawlers, AI agents) to access the Service, except search engines indexing public pages.
We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these rules.
What belongs to Cyclo
The Service, including its design, software, text, graphics, and its selection and arrangement of school information, belongs to Cyclo and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable permission to use the Service for your own application under these Terms. Names, logos and marks of schools and other organizations belong to their owners (see disclosures). If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.
Other websites and services
Cyclo links to websites and relies on services run by others (for example school websites, application services, our hosting, database and payment providers). We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, availability or practices.
No warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL INFORMATION IN IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DATA WILL NOT BE LOST, OR THAT ANY SCHOOL INFORMATION, CALCULATION OR ESTIMATE IS CORRECT. SOME PLACES DON'T ALLOW THESE EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Limits on our liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, CYCLO AND ITS OWNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITY, ADMISSION, SCHOLARSHIP, TUITION, FEES, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, INCLUDING ANY LOSS FROM A MISSED DEADLINE, AN APPLICATION DECISION, OR RELIANCE ON SCHOOL INFORMATION, CALCULATIONS OR ESTIMATES IN THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD SUCH LOSS WAS POSSIBLE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR $97 IF THAT IS MORE. SOME PLACES DON'T ALLOW THESE LIMITS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Your responsibility to us
If someone brings a claim against us because of Your Content or because you broke these Terms or the law, you agree to cover our reasonable losses and costs from that claim, to the extent the law allows.
Ending your use
You can stop using Cyclo at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if we must for legal reasons, or if we stop offering the Service. If we stop offering the Service before a paid access period ends for reasons other than your breach, we'll refund a fair share of what you paid for the unused time. Sections that by their nature should continue (such as ownership, no warranties, limits on liability and disputes) continue after your use ends.
Changes
We may update the Service and these Terms. If we make a material change to these Terms, we'll post the new version here with a new date and, where we can, tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
Disputes and governing law
If you have a problem with Cyclo, please email [contact email] first. Most issues can be settled quickly, and we'll try in good faith for at least 30 days before either of us goes further.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State] and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute that isn't settled informally will be heard in the state or federal courts located in [County], [State], and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court. To the extent the law allows, claims may be brought only individually and not as part of a class or representative action.
The rest
These Terms, with the Privacy Policy and Sources and disclosures, are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If a part is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a part isn't a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them as part of a merger, sale or reorganization.
