These terms of use are entered into by and between you and SDC Canada Incorporated ("SmileDirectClub", "we" or "us"). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these "Terms of Use"), govern your access to and use of https://smiledirectclub.ca (the "Website"), including any content, functionality and services offered on or through the Website and our application, whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website. By using the Website or by clicking to accept or agree to the Terms of Use when this option is made available to you, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.

This Website is not intended for minors. To register for any of the shopping and other services referenced in paragraph 2, below (collectively, the "Services") offered on the Website, you must be the age of majority in the territory, Province, or Canadian possession in which you reside. If you are under the age of majority, you may only use the Website with the authorization of your parent or legal guardian. By using this Website, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with SmileDirectClub and meet all of the foregoing eligibility requirements, or that your parent or legal guardian has agreed to form a binding contract with SmileDirectClub.

Services Provided

We offer an online communication platform for licensed dentists and orthodontists (each, a "Provider") and their patients to connect and communicate via the Website through the use of synchronous and asynchronous telecommunications technologies. Our Website allows you to order an impression kit, the results of which will be reviewed by a Provider to evaluate your current smile, develop and prescribe a customized alignment treatment plan, and supply a premium whitening product directly to your door, allowing you to create a smile that you will love without the hassle of in- person monthly visits. If you prefer, our Website can also provide you with the locations of our SmileShops where you can find out more about our invisible aligners and have our trained staff take a simple scan of your teeth that will assist your Provider to determine if aligner therapy treatment is right for you.

SmileDirectClub does not provide medical advice, treatment, or care. SmileDirectClub contracts with a network of independent Providers and dental groups with a network of Canada-based Providers who provide clinical teledentistry orthodontics services. Providers deliver clinical services via the Website to their patients. Providers are not contracted or employed by or under the control of SmileDirectClub. The Providers, and not SmileDirectClub, are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness and quality of the care they render to you.

The Providers are independent of SmileDirectClub and are merely using our Website as a way to remotely communicate with you. Any information or advice received from a Provider comes from them alone, and not from SmileDirectClub. Your interactions via our Website are not intended to take the place of your relationship with your regular dental provider, healthcare practitioners, or primary care physician. Neither SmileDirectClub, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party who may promote the Website or our Services or provide a link to our Website, shall be liable for any professional or clinical advice obtained from a Provider via the Website, or for any professional or clinical information obtained on the Website.

SmileDirectClub does not make any representation or warranty about the training or skill of any Provider who delivers treatment or renders advice via the Website. You will be connected with a Provider in your Province based on his or her availability and the information you submit through the Website. The content of the Website, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics, and other visuals, are for informational purposes only and do not constitute professional medical or dental advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind by SmileDirectClub. You should always seek the advice of your qualified health care professional with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your individual needs and any medical conditions. All information provided by SmileDirectClub, or in connection with any communications supported by SmileDirectClub, is intended to be for general information purposes only, and is in no way intended to create a provider-patient relationship with SmileDirectClub as defined by any law. While SmileDirectClub facilitates your communication with a licensed dentist or orthodontist, SmileDirectClub does not provide medical or dental services, and the doctor-patient relationship is solely between you and your dentist or orthodontist.

Not for Emergencies

IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DIAL "911"OR YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY RESPONDER.

SmileDirectClub’s Website, and our content and Services are not for medical emergencies or urgent situations. You should not disregard or delay seeking medical advice based on anything that appears or does not appear on the Website. If you believe you have an emergency, immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency responder.

You should seek emergency help or follow up care when recommended by a Provider or otherwise needed. You should continue to consult with your regular dentist, primary care provider, and other healthcare professionals as recommended. Always seek the advice of your regular dentist, or a physician, or other qualified healthcare provider concerning any questions you have regarding a medical condition or before stopping, starting, or modifying any treatment or medication.

Risks of Teledentistry Services

We provide teledentistry orthodontics support services that permit you to have an impression of your teeth taken with our Impression Kit or a 3-dimensional photograph and have the results of your Impression Kit or photograph reviewed by a dentist or orthodontist in yourProvince, who will determine whether to prescribe your invisible aligner therapy treatment. By ordering an Impression Kit or having photographs taken, you acknowledge the potential risks and limitations associated with teledentistry services, including that the information supplied to your Provider may not be sufficient to provide appropriate care.
