TERMS OF SERVICE

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website, online services, forms, appointment scheduling features, and communications provided by KS Periodontics DBA Idaho Perio Center for Dental Implants and Laser Periodontal Therapy (“Idaho Perio,” “we,” “our,” or “us”).

By accessing or using our website or services, submitting a form, scheduling a consultation or appointment, communicating with us, or opting in to SMS communications, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms.

Please review these Terms carefully before using our website or services.

1. Services

Idaho Perio provides periodontal and dental-related services, appointment scheduling, patient communications, educational information, and related services.

Information provided through this website is intended for general informational and educational purposes and should not be considered a substitute for professional dental or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Use of this website or communication with us through a website form does not, by itself, establish a provider-patient relationship.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue website features or online services at any time.

2. SMS Program Description

By opting in to receive SMS communications from Idaho Perio, you agree to receive text messages according to the type of communications for which you have provided consent.

SMS communications may include:

  • Inquiry follow-ups
  • Consultation confirmations
  • Appointment confirmations and reminders
  • Scheduling and rescheduling information
  • Patient or customer support communications
  • Practice and service-related updates
  • Other communications related to services you have requested
  • Optional promotional or marketing messages when separate marketing consent has been provided

 

Message frequency varies.

3. SMS Opt-In Consent

You may opt in to receive SMS messages by providing your mobile phone number through our website forms, appointment or consultation scheduling pages, or other authorized communication channels where SMS consent is specifically requested.

Where applicable:

  • Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.
  • SMS consent is obtained through clear, optional, and unchecked consent checkboxes or another affirmative opt-in mechanism.
  • Providing your phone number alone does not constitute consent to receive marketing SMS messages.
  • Marketing or promotional SMS communications will only be sent when the appropriate affirmative marketing consent has been provided.

Your consent applies only to the types of communications for which you have opted in.

4. SMS Opt-Out

You can cancel SMS communications at any time.

To opt out, reply STOP to the number from which you receive messages.

After you send STOP, you may receive a confirmation message indicating that you have been unsubscribed. You will no longer receive SMS messages from that messaging program unless you opt in again.

To rejoin, you may opt in again through our website, forms, scheduling pages, or another authorized opt-in method.

Availability of SMS services may also depend on your wireless carrier, mobile device, network coverage, and service plan.

7. Message Frequency & Cost

Message frequency varies depending on your interaction with our practice, appointments, inquiries, communication preferences, and the types of messages you have consented to receive.

Message and data rates may apply for messages sent to you from us and from you to us.

If you have questions regarding your text messaging or data plan, please contact your wireless provider.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted.
