1. Introduction & Who We Are
Welcome to Dentello. These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Dentello website at www.dentello.co.uk (the “Website”).
Who We Are: Dentello operates the UK’s first dedicated dental workforce platform. We connect dental practices with qualified clinicians, providing technology and support services to facilitate compliant workforce arrangements. Dentello is not a traditional recruitment agency.
Acceptance of Terms: By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Website.
Important:
These Terms govern use of the Website only. Separate, formal agreements govern platform use, including the Dentello Clinical Workforce Platform Agreement (for clinics) and associate agreements (between clinics and dentists). Those agreements contain binding commercial terms and take precedence over this Website terms page.

Geographic Availability: While the Website may be accessible from locations outside the United Kingdom, Dentello makes no representation that content, services, or platform functionality are appropriate or available for use in jurisdictions outside the UK. Users accessing the Website from other territories do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Marketing Materials: Content on the Website, including pricing information, service descriptions, and platform capabilities, constitutes marketing and promotional material only. Such content does not constitute a formal offer capable of acceptance.
