THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING DENTALSPOTS!

1. What the Contract Covers.

This is a contract between you and the DentalSpots company referenced in section 22. Sometimes the DentalSpots company is referred to as 'DentalSpots,' 'we,' 'us' or 'our'. This contract applies to any DentalSpots software or services, including updates, that display or link to this contract and that you use while this contract is in force. All of the software or services are referred to in this contract as the 'service.' Sections 1 through 22 of this contract apply across the service. Sections 23 and 24 apply if the service involves payments to or from DentalSpots. Sections 25 through 31 apply only if you use the software or services identified in those sections. Some of these services may not be available in your country.

Please note that we do not provide warranties for the service. The contract also limits our liability. These terms are in sections 13 and 14, and we ask you to read them carefully.

2. When You May Use the Service.

You may start using the service as soon as you have finished the sign-up process. No withdrawal right or other 'cooling off' period applies to the service and you waive any applicable 'cooling off' period, except if the law requires a 'cooling off' period despite your waiver and even when a service starts right away.

Please refer to the terms of use for each site that you visit.

Tell it the numbers you consider using. Your telephone company can tell you if using those numbers will trigger additional charges. Ask it if there are other telephone service charges you will incur using those numbers. You should contact your phone company even if we provided the number as an appropriate access number for you. We rely on others to provide us with that information. Unfortunately, sometimes it is wrong. If you incur any extra charges, then you must pay them. We will not reimburse you for them.

You also will pay any additional charges you incur if you connect to the service through a service telephone number while you are in a country that is not the country associated with your service account ('roaming charges'). Roaming charges are in addition to any long distance telephone charges you may incur when connecting to the service from another country.

We will use reasonable efforts to tell you what information we require in advance of your use of the applicable service. Even if we do not tell you in advance, you must provide us the information we request before your right to receive the payment accrues. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and any taxes you may incur as a result of receiving a payment. You must also comply with any other conditions we place on your right to any payment.
