Terms of Use
These Terms govern your use of the SmileMerit website. Please read them carefully. By accessing or using the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. About the service
SmileMerit is an independent directory that lists and helps you compare teeth-whitening dentists and providers. We provide information for research and comparison purposes only. We are operated by Saycheese and can be reached at support@getsaycheese.com.
2. Not a provider, not an endorsement
We are not a dental practice, dentist, or healthcare provider, and we do not provide dental treatment, referrals, or advice. Listing a provider in our directory is not an endorsement, recommendation, certification, or guarantee of that provider, their licensing, or the quality or safety of their services. Any relationship you enter into with a provider is solely between you and that provider.
3. Accuracy of information
We work to keep listings useful, but we cannot guarantee that provider details — including services, pricing ranges, availability, hours, licensing, or contact information — are complete, current, or accurate. Information may be supplied by third parties or gathered from public sources and may change without notice. Always verify details directly with the provider, and confirm a provider’s licensing and credentials independently before booking or paying for services.
4. Ownership disclosure
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:

8. Disclaimer of warranties
The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any information is accurate or reliable.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SmileMerit and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of — or inability to use — the site, your reliance on any information, or your dealings with any provider, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SmileMerit and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your use of the site or your violation of these Terms.
11. Changes to the service and these Terms
We may modify or discontinue the site, or update these Terms, at any time. When we update these Terms, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
