Effective date: September 13, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of acontagioussmile.com and the educational, advocacy, resource, peer-support, event, course, marketplace, and related services offered by A Contagious Smile LLC. By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

PURPOSE AND ELIGIBILITY

The site is intended for lawful personal, educational, and informational use. You must be able to enter a binding agreement in your jurisdiction or use the site with appropriate parent or guardian involvement.

NOT MEDICAL, MENTAL-HEALTH, LEGAL, OR EMERGENCY SERVICES

Content and peer support are not substitutes for diagnosis, treatment, therapy, medical care, legal advice, or emergency services. Peer Support Specialists do not replace licensed professionals. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing an emergency, call 911 or the appropriate emergency service in your location.

USER RESPONSIBILITIES

You agree to provide accurate information; respect other people’s privacy and safety; follow program, community, and event rules; and not misuse the site. You may not use the site to harass, threaten, exploit, impersonate, defraud, distribute malware, violate intellectual-property rights, collect information without authorization, or engage in unlawful conduct.

ACCOUNTS, PROGRAMS, AND PURCHASES

Some services may require registration, payment, or separate program terms. You are responsible for protecting account credentials and for activity under your account. Prices, availability, scholarship criteria, schedules, and program features may change. Any specific cancellation, refund, shipping, or digital-delivery terms presented at purchase or registration also apply.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Unless otherwise stated, site content, course materials, graphics, downloads, trademarks, and original resources belong to A Contagious Smile LLC or their respective licensors. They may not be copied, sold, republished, or commercially exploited without written permission. Personal, noncommercial use of expressly provided resources is permitted only as stated with those materials.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The site may link to or use third-party platforms. We do not control their content, availability, security, or privacy practices, and use of those services may be governed by separate terms.

DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION

The site and services are provided on an as-available basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, particular outcomes, or that every resource is appropriate for every person. To the extent permitted by law, A Contagious Smile LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.

INDEMNITY

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for losses or claims caused by your unlawful misuse of the site or violation of these terms.

CHANGES AND GOVERNING LAW

We may update these terms by posting a revised effective date. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. These terms are governed by applicable laws of the State of Georgia and the United States, without overriding mandatory consumer protections that apply to you.
