Terms of Use

This website is provided so that people can learn about our practice and get in touch with us. You agree to use it for lawful purposes only, and not to:

• Submit false or another person's information through the contact form
• Send automated submissions, bulk requests, or attempts to disrupt the site
• Attempt to access areas or data that are not made available to you
• Copy, redistribute, or resell the site's content without our permission
• Use the site in any way that could damage it or interfere with others using it

If a submission looks abusive or automated, we may discard it without notice.

Using this website, reading our blog, or sending us a message does not create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only after you are seen in the office. Information on this site is general and is not a substitute for an examination, diagnosis, or a treatment plan made for you personally. See our Medical Disclaimer.

The text, photographs, logo, page design, and layout on this website belong to Ling Zhu DDS Dental or to those who licensed them to us, and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may print or share individual pages for your own personal, non-commercial use.

When you send us a message, you keep ownership of what you wrote, and you give us permission to read, store, and use it to respond to you and to operate our practice.

Please do not send us original medical or dental content that you expect us to pay for or credit. Unsolicited materials are treated as information sent to us for the purpose of your request.

We work to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not promise that it will always be up, error-free, or free of harmful components. We may change, suspend, or withdraw the site or any part of it at any time, and we may update the information on it without notice.

The site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that information on the site is complete, current, or error-free, and dental costs and insurance outcomes discussed on the site are estimates that can change.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ling Zhu DDS Dental and its clinicians, staff, and partners are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of this website or from your inability to use it. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud or willful misconduct.

Links to other websites, including map services and social platforms, are provided for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Advertising shown on this site is selected by our advertising provider, not by us, and a Google ad is not an endorsement by our practice.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, and any dispute arising from them will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

We may revise these terms. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows the current version, and the version in place when you use the site is the one that applies.

Questions about these terms are welcome.
