1  ·  Acceptance of These Terms

By visiting riverside-orthodontics.ca (the “Site”), requesting an appointment, submitting a referral form, or otherwise interacting with Riverside Orthodontics (“the Practice,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and all applicable laws. If you do not accept every provision below, please refrain from using the Site or our online services.

2  ·  Changes to the Terms

We may review and update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

3  ·  Website Content & Medical Disclaimer

All text, graphics, images, and other content on this Site are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical or dental advice. Individual diagnosis and treatment can be provided only after an in-person examination by a licensed orthodontist or dentist. Never disregard professional advice because of something you read on this Site.

4  ·  Appointments & Online Forms

· Accuracy of Information: You agree that any information you provide—patient intake, referral, or payment—is complete and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
· Confirmation: Submitting an online request does not guarantee an appointment. A member of our team will contact you to confirm dates, times, and any fees.
· Cancellations: We request at least two business days’ notice to reschedule or cancel; late cancellations or missed appointments may incur a fee as outlined in office policy documents available at reception.

5  ·  Payment, Insurance, and Promotional Credits

1 - Estimates vs. Actual Costs – Any fee estimate provided online or by phone is preliminary. Final costs depend on clinical findings, appliance choice, and insurance verification.
2 - Insurance Claims – As a courtesy, we can submit claims on your behalf, but you remain financially responsible for any balance not covered by your plan.
3 - Referral Rewards / Promotions – Gift cards, account credits, or discounts earned through our Refer-a-Friend or other promotions are issued only after the referred patient’s treatment begins and their initial payment is cleared. Promotions cannot be combined unless explicitly stated.

Under no circumstances shall Riverside Orthodontics, its owners, employees, or contractors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of—or relating to—your use of the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you for any direct loss shall not exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100).

10  ·  Indemnification
