Please read these terms carefully. They include an arbitration clause and class-action waiver, and explain that Teethelo is not a dental or medical provider.
1 Acceptance of these terms
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Teethelo, a brand of The Nelson M Group LLC ("Teethelo," "we," "us"). They govern your use of teethelo.com and related services, including email and text-message programs (the "Services"). By using the Services or submitting a form, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and, if you opt in to texts, our SMS Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
2 What Teethelo is, and is not
Teethelo is an information service. We publish general, plain-language information about oral health, dental care basics, and ways to save on dental care, and let visitors opt in to related updates. We do not provide dental care, give quotes or prices for treatment, match people with dentists, or refer people to providers, and we do not share your details with dental offices, insurers, or other partners.
Teethelo is not a dental or medical provider. We do not diagnose, treat, or give dental or medical advice, we are not a dentist, dental office, insurer, or health care professional, and we do not sell or administer dental plans. Content is for general information only and is not a substitute for professional advice. Always seek the advice of your own dentist or physician. In an emergency, call 911.
- Decisions about dental care are yours. Reading our content does not obligate you to do anything.
- Your own dentist, not Teethelo, examines you, explains the risks, benefits, and costs of any treatment, and is responsible for your care.
- Costs, coverage, and savings vary by person, plan, and location. We do not guarantee that you will save any amount, qualify for any program, or get any particular result.
3 Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, located in the United States, and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. You may only submit information about yourself, or about another person who has authorized you to do so.
4 Your information and accuracy
You agree to give accurate and current information and to update it if it changes. You may only provide a mobile number that you own or are authorized to use. If your number changes or is reassigned, please reply STOP from the old number or contact us so that we do not message someone else.
5 Communications and text-message consent
If you opt in, you agree that we may contact you by email and, if you check the applicable boxes, by automated text messages as described in the SMS Terms. Consent to texts is optional, is not a condition of purchase or of using the Services, and may be withdrawn at any time by replying STOP. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help.

7 Acceptable use
You agree not to: (a) submit false, misleading, or someone else's information; (b) use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, or abusive purposes; (c) interfere with or disrupt the Services or attempt unauthorized access; (d) use bots or automated means to submit forms; (e) copy, scrape, or resell our content without permission; or (f) impersonate any person or entity. We may suspend or end your access if you do.
8 Third-party organizations and links
Organizations, programs, and products mentioned on or linked from the Services (for example public health resources, dental schools, or clinics) are run by third parties. We do not endorse any product, plan, or provider and are not responsible for the conduct, content, or results of third parties. Your relationship with a dentist or plan is between you and them.
9 Intellectual property
The Services, including the Teethelo name, logo, text, graphics, and design, are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. Photographs on the Site are used under their respective free-use licenses.
10 Disclaimers
The services and all content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any message will be delivered or delivered on time.
Teethelo does not provide medical advice, and makes no representation about any dental treatment, plan, price, savings amount, or health outcome.
11 Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, teethelo and The Nelson M Group LLC, and their members, managers, officers, employees, and agents, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the services, or from any dental care decision you make or do not make. Our total liability for any claim relating to the services will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
12 Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Nelson M Group LLC and its affiliates and personnel from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, or your provision of a phone number or other information that you were not authorized to provide.
13 Disputes, governing law, and arbitration
Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, please contact us at [email protected] and give us 30 days to try to resolve it.
Binding arbitration. Except for small-claims matters and claims for injunctive relief for intellectual-property misuse, any dispute between you and Teethelo or The Nelson M Group LLC arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in your county of residence or by video or phone, at your choice. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief as a court, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class-action waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and Teethelo each agree to bring claims only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative action.
Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing [email protected] with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your name and mobile number.
Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which The Nelson M Group LLC has its principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the Federal Arbitration Act. Subject to the arbitration clause, the state and federal courts located in that state have exclusive jurisdiction.
14 Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time, and may opt out of messages by replying STOP. We may suspend or terminate access at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and disputes) will survive termination.
15 Changes
We may update these Terms. We will post the new version with a new "Last updated" date. If you continue to use the Services after the effective date, you accept the updated Terms. For material changes, we will provide notice as required by law.
16 General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and SMS Terms, are the entire agreement between you and us on this subject. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent, and we may assign them in connection with a merger or sale of the business.
