1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Horizon Dental website located at horizondental.com (the "Website"), operated by Horizon Dental ("Horizon Dental," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.

2. Purpose of This Website

This Website is provided to give visitors general information about Horizon Dental, our services, our team, and our locations, and to allow visitors to request appointments, browse educational content, and apply for open positions. Content on this Website is for general informational purposes only.

3. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Browsing this Website, submitting a contact form, or requesting an appointment does not, by itself, create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Horizon Dental or any of our dentists. A doctor-patient relationship is established only once you have been formally accepted as a patient and have completed an in-person or approved consultation with one of our providers.

4. Appointment Requests

Appointment requests submitted through this Website are requests only and are not confirmed until our team contacts you directly to schedule a specific date and time. In the event of a dental emergency, please call our office directly at (440) 555-0142 rather than relying on an online form, or seek immediate medical attention.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on this Website — including text, graphics, logos, images, and the overall design — is the property of Horizon Dental or its licensors and is protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws. You may view, print, or download content from this Website for your own personal, non-commercial use only. Any other use, including reproduction, modification, distribution, or republication, without our prior written consent is prohibited.

When using this Website, you agree not to:

• Use the Website for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the Website or its related systems;
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information through any form on the Website;
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the Website or servers connected to it;
• Use any automated system, such as a bot or scraper, to access the Website without our permission.

7. Third-Party Links

This Website may contain links to third-party websites, such as social media pages or partner organizations (for example, Dedicated Ideas for sleep apnea referrals). We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any linked third-party website. Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

This Website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error free, or free of viruses or other harmful components, or that the content is accurate, complete, or current at all times.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Horizon Dental and its owners, dentists, and staff shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this Website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some states do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Horizon Dental, its owners, dentists, and staff from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of your use of the Website or your violation of these Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Website will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Lake County, Ohio.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time by updating this page. By continuing to use the Website after changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
