The legal terms that apply when you use smileproud.co. Short, plain, and worth reading once so nobody’s surprised later.
Last updated: August 2026
By using smileproud.co (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree with them, please don’t use the Site. It’s that simple.
The Site is operated by Scout Theory LLC (“we,” “us,” “Smile Proud”), an Ohio limited liability company.
Smile Proud is an editorial magazine about dental confidence, cosmetic dentistry, and medical travel. It is not a dental practice, medical provider, or clinic. Nothing on this Site is medical advice, and reading it does not create a doctor-patient relationship of any kind.
If you have a specific dental issue, talk to a licensed dentist. If something we write helps you ask better questions when you get there, we’ve done our job.
We work hard to publish accurate information. Prices, procedures, laws, credentialing systems, and clinic offerings all change — sometimes faster than we can update. If something we’ve written turns out to be out of date, we appreciate a heads-up so we can fix it.
We make no warranties about the completeness, accuracy, or usefulness of anything on the Site. Use your own judgment. Verify anything that matters before acting on it.
We frequently link to third-party clinics, hospitals, platforms, and services — both within our own network of publications and outside it. We’re not responsible for what happens on those sites, or for the quality of care any third-party provider delivers.
When we recommend a clinic or service, it’s based on our best judgment at the time of writing. It’s not a guarantee of any specific outcome. You are responsible for your own decisions about who you receive care from.
We may earn referral fees when readers use links on this Site to connect with clinics, platforms, or services. These relationships never cost you extra, and they never influence our editorial opinions. If we recommend somewhere, it’s because we’d send our own family there.
If you send us a message, story pitch, or any other communication, you grant us the right to read it, respond to it, and (if we’re considering publishing something related to it) reference the general subject matter. We won’t publish your name, email, or identifying details without your explicit permission.
All content on this Site (essays, articles, photography, illustrations, code, design) is copyright © Scout Theory LLC unless otherwise noted. You may share individual articles with attribution and a link back. You may not republish, resell, or systematically copy content without written permission.
Don’t use the Site to break laws, harass people, spam our forms, scrape content wholesale, or try to compromise our systems. If any of that sounds like something you’d do, please go elsewhere.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Scout Theory LLC and its officers, employees, and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site. Our maximum liability for anything related to the Site is capped at $100 USD.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA. Any dispute goes to the state and federal courts located in Franklin County, Ohio.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Substantive changes will be noted here with an updated date. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance.
