Dandy Terms of Use

Last Modified: March 17, 2023

Welcome to MeetDandy.com, a website by Dandy (“Dandy,” “we,” or “us”). This page explains the Terms of Use (the “Terms”) that govern you use of our website (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy at meetdandy.com/privacy_policy/. These Terms apply to all visitors and others who access the Site (“Users” or “you”).

Use of Our Site

1. Access to the Site

Subject to these Terms, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Site for your personal use only. Dandy reserves all rights not expressly granted herein in the Site and Dandy Content (as defined below). Dandy may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason.

2. Site Rules

You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities while visiting our Site: 

  1. copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Site in any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated scraping; 
  2. using any automated system, including without limitation robots, spiders, offline readers, etc., to access the Site in a manner that sends more request messages to Dandy servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser (except that Dandy grants the operators of public search engines revocable permission to use spiders to copy publicly available materials from MeetDandy.com for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials); 
  3. attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Site; 
  4. accessing any content on the Site through any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Dandy;  
  5. taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; 
  6. uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Site; 
  7. interfering with the proper working of the Site; or
  8. impersonating another person or dental practice, or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity. 

We may, without prior notice, change the Site; stop providing the Site or features of it, to you or to Users generally; or create usage limits for the Site. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Site without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of these Terms, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by these Terms.

The Site’s Purpose Is Informational

The Site is provided solely for informational purposes.  Dandy does not provide medical advice and is not a healthcare provider, and the Site is not intended to provide medical or legal advice to you. Your reliance upon the Site is solely at your own risk.

Unless otherwise established by agreement between Dandy and a Covered Entity, as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the information you provide to Dandy is not “Protected Health Information” under HIPAA.  The Site is not intended for the transmission, storage, review or receipt of confidential Patient  Health Information.  As such, your personal information may not be treated the same as Protected Health Information would be under HIPAA.

Consent To Receive Telephone Calls, Texts and Emails

By submitting your first and last name, email address, direct phone number, the name of your practice, your role at the identified practice, your zip code and/or your practice’s website, you expressly consent and agree to accept and receive communications from Dandy, including via email, text (SMS) messages, telephone calls, and other reasonable means at any of your contact numbers or addresses, even if you are listed on any federal, state, provincial or other applicable “Do Not Call” list, so that we may contact you regarding the services set forth on the Dandy Site, to service your account if your practice has one with us, to reasonably address matters pertaining to your account, including but not limited to notifying you of, or confirming, training appointments that you have scheduled, or for other purposes reasonably related to your practice’s request and our business, including marketing related communications.  

You may have the opportunity to receive text (SMS) messages from Dandy for the purposes of authenticating your account, facilitating your download of the Dandy mobile app, or providing you informational updates about services or products you may have requested. For example, Dandy shares the telephone number(s) you provide to us with Twilio, Inc., a trusted third-party partner, for the purpose of sending you a text message containing a link to download the Dandy mobile app, or sending you a text message with an authorization code that can be used to authenticate your identity.  You represent that you have the authority to agree to receive text messages at the telephone number that you provide to Dandy, or from which you sent the text message request to us. You further acknowledge that no purchase is required to opt into any Dandy service, and you may opt-out at any time by following the instructions in our Privacy Policy.

Not all mobile devices may be supported or eligible to receive messages by Twilio’s messaging service. Dandy and any mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message and data rates may apply to any text messages. Message frequency depends on the nature of your request. You hereby agree to be responsible for all costs, charges and fees you incur from your service or device provider as a result of choosing to receive such messages from the Dandy.  Phone calls, video calls and text messages may be recorded for quality assurance and training purposes only.

The Site and all materials on it, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, and music (the “Company Content”), and all intellectual property rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of Dandy and its licensors. Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in these Terms shall be deemed to create a license in or under any such intellectual property rights, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any Company Content. Use of Company Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited.

You may choose to or we may invite you to submit comments or ideas about the Site, including without limitation about how to improve the Site or Dandy’s services (“Ideas”). By submitting any Ideas, you agree that your disclosure is gratuitous, unsolicited and without restriction and will not place Dandy under any fiduciary or other obligation, and that we are free to use your Ideas without any additional compensation to you, and/or to disclose the Ideas on a non-confidential basis or otherwise to anyone. You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, Dandy does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to Dandy, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.
