These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of tmjsleeptreatmentcentres.com (the “Website”), operated by TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of the Greater Toronto Area (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Centre”).
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Website.
1. Medical Disclaimer
The content on this Website is provided for general information and educational purposes only. It is not medical, dental, or health advice, and it must not be relied upon as a substitute for professional assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.
Temporomandibular disorders, orofacial pain, snoring, and sleep-disordered breathing are complex conditions that present differently in every individual. Nothing on this Website can account for your particular history, examination findings, or imaging. Always seek the advice of a qualified dentist, physician, or other health practitioner with any questions about a medical condition.
Never disregard professional advice, or delay seeking it, because of something you have read on this Website.
1.1 Emergencies
Do not use this Website for medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a medical emergency — including difficulty breathing, chest pain, severe facial trauma, or an inability to open or close your jaw accompanied by severe distress — call 911 or attend your nearest emergency department immediately.
Website forms and email are not monitored continuously and must never be used to report urgent symptoms.
2. No Practitioner–Patient Relationship
Using this Website, reading its content, or submitting a form does not create a practitioner–patient relationship between you and the Centre or any of its clinicians.
Such a relationship is established only after you have attended a consultation, been formally accepted as a patient of the practice, and completed the applicable intake and consent documentation.
3. Appointment Requests and Referrals
Submitting an appointment request or referral form is a request only. It does not constitute a confirmed booking. An appointment is confirmed only when our team contacts you directly to arrange a date and time.
We aim to respond to enquiries promptly during business hours, but we do not guarantee any particular response time. If your enquiry is time-sensitive, please telephone the clinic at (905) 470-0009.
4. Communications Are Not Secure
Information submitted through Website forms and by email travels over the public internet and cannot be guaranteed to be private or secure.
Please do not send detailed personal health information, diagnostic images, or other sensitive material through this Website or by email. Provide only the information needed for us to contact you, and we will arrange a secure channel for anything further. You submit information through the Website at your own risk.
5. Treatment Outcomes
Any descriptions of treatments, appliances, procedures, or approaches on this Website are general in nature. Individual results vary according to diagnosis, severity, anatomy, adherence to treatment, and other clinical factors.
Nothing on this Website constitutes a promise, warranty, or guarantee of any particular clinical outcome. Potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and limitations of any proposed treatment will be discussed with you directly as part of the informed consent process.
6. Patient Testimonials and Reviews
This Website may display patient testimonials and reviews, including reviews sourced from third-party platforms such as Google.
Testimonials reflect the individual experience of the person providing them and are not representative of, nor a prediction of, the results any other patient should expect. Reviews sourced from third-party platforms are displayed as published on those platforms and are not edited, curated, or verified by us.
7. Accuracy of Content
We make reasonable efforts to keep the Website accurate and current, and much of our clinical content reflects published research at the time of writing. However, clinical understanding evolves, and we make no representation or warranty that the content is complete, current, or free from error.
We may modify, update, or remove content at any time without notice.
8. Permitted Use
You may view, download, and print content from this Website for your own personal, non-commercial use, or — in the case of referral materials — for legitimate clinical referral purposes.
You agree that you will not:
- Reproduce, republish, or distribute Website content for commercial purposes without our written permission
- Use the Website for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of these Terms
- Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, or impersonate another person
- Introduce malware, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website or its underlying systems
- Use automated systems to scrape, harvest, or overload the Website
- Submit content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringes the rights of others
We reserve the right to restrict or terminate access to the Website for any user who breaches these Terms.
9. Intellectual Property
All content on this Website — including text, graphics, logos, photographs, illustrations, video, and the arrangement of that content — is owned by the Centre or its licensors and is protected by Canadian and international copyright and trademark law.
Our name, logo, and branding may not be used without our prior written consent. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
10. Third-Party Links and Content
The Website may contain links to, or embedded content from, third-party websites and services, including research databases, professional organisations, review platforms, and mapping services.
These are provided for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site or service. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that it will be free of viruses or other harmful components.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Centre, its clinicians, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website — including any decision made or action taken in reliance on its content.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for anything that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, including liability arising from the professional care we provide to our patients. These Terms concern your use of the Website and do not affect your rights as a patient of the practice.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Centre, its clinicians, employees, and agents from any claim, loss, liability, or expense arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the Website.
13. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

15. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms at any time. The “Last updated” date above indicates when they were last changed. Your continued use of the Website after any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
16. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario in respect of any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Website.
