4. Patient Data Responsibilities
As a dental practice using Dent Dock, you are the data controller for your patients' personal data. Dent Dock acts as a data processor on your behalf and processes patient data only to provide the service to you, under our Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these terms.
The third parties we use to provide the service are listed in the Data Processing Agreement and our Privacy Policy. We will tell you at least 30 days before we add or replace one.

Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance. All prices exclude VAT.

You may cancel your subscription at any time via the Billing section in Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial months.

- Indirect or consequential losses.
Our total liability to you shall not exceed the fees paid in the 3 months preceding the claim.
8. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, fail to pay, or use the platform in a way that puts other users or patient data at risk.
You may terminate your account at any time by contacting hello@dentdock.co.uk.
When your account closes, we will, at your choice, return your practice's data to you or delete it, within 90 days. Dental records usually have to be kept for many years, so please ask us for a copy of your patient records before your account closes.
