1. Scope and Professional Relationship
These Terms cover all aspects of our business dealings, including order placement, manufacturing, delivery, and post-sale support. As a manufacturer of custom dental devices, we rely on your professional expertise for patient assessments, prescriptions, and fittings. You confirm that you are a licensed healthcare provider in good standing, authorized to prescribe and dispense our Products in your practice’s jurisdiction. We do not provide medical advice, diagnose conditions, or assume liability for treatment outcomes, which remain your sole responsibility.
2. Order Placement and Confirmation
Orders must be submitted through our secure online system, email, or fax, including precise patient details such as impressions, scans, models, bite registrations, and prescriptions. We review orders for completeness and may request clarifications. Submission does not obligate us to accept the order; we may decline it for reasons including incomplete information, credit issues, or compliance concerns.
Upon acceptance, we issue a confirmation via email, which forms the binding agreement. Custom manufacturing begins promptly after confirmation. Changes or cancellations require our written approval and may result in fees covering costs incurred, up to the full order amount if production is already advanced. We aim to fulfill orders within standard lead times, but delays do not entitle you to cancel the order without our consent.
3. Pricing, Invoicing, and Payment
Prices are as quoted or listed in our current catalog and exclude taxes, shipping, insurance, or customs fees, which remain your responsibility. We may adjust prices with notice, but not for confirmed orders. Invoices are issued upon shipment and are payable within 30 days net unless we specify different terms based on your credit status.
Acceptable payment methods include bank transfer, credit card, or check. Late payments incur a finance charge of 1.5% per month (or the legal maximum) on overdue balances. We may withhold future deliveries or require advance payment if accounts are delinquent. No deductions for disputes are allowed without our prior authorization. Bona fide disputes must be raised in writing within 15 days of invoice receipt, and we will negotiate resolution in good faith.
Credit extensions are subject to approval after review of your application. We may perform credit checks and adjust terms as necessary.
4. Delivery, Risk Transfer, and Inspection
Products ship from our Hudson, WI facility via a carrier of our choice, FOB origin. Title and risk of loss pass to you when the Products leave our premises. You are responsible for shipping costs and any insurance. Delivery timelines are estimates only, and we are not liable for carrier delays or related damages.
You must examine shipments immediately upon arrival and report any visible damage, shortages, or errors in writing within 5 business days. Failure to notify us within this timeframe waives any claims. For concealed defects, you must notify us within 10 days of discovery, but no later than the end of the warranty period.
5. Compliance with Laws and Professional Duties
Our Products are Class II medical devices under FDA regulations. We manufacture them in compliance with 21 CFR Part 820 (Quality System Regulation) and maintain the required regulatory clearances. You are responsible for complying with all federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to prescription requirements, patient consent, adverse event reporting under 21 CFR Part 803, and HIPAA requirements for data privacy.
You warrant that you hold valid licenses and registrations, that you will dispense Products only to patients under your professional care with proper documentation, that you will report any Product-related incidents or complaints to us within 48 hours, and that you will not export, resell online, or distribute the Products outside your licensed area without our approval. Violations may void warranties and terminate our professional relationship.
6. Product Warranties
Product warranties must be processed through the healthcare professional. Serena Sleep warrants its nightguard and orthotic appliances to be free from defects in materials and fabrication for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery to the providing practitioner. These devices are designed to protect teeth and restorations against the forces of bruxism and to help alleviate temporomandibular joint pain, jaw discomfort, muscle strain, and tension headaches. However, Serena Sleep does not guarantee treatment outcomes. The warranty is invalid if the appliance needs to be remade due to changes in the patient’s oral anatomy or if the appliance is broken, cracked, or worn through by the patient. The warranty does not cover improper cleaning, unauthorized modifications, accessory components, or other non-manufacturing related issues.
Serena Sleep also provides a 3-year warranty for sleep appliances used to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. This warranty guarantees that the appliance will be free from defects in materials and fabrication for 36 months from the delivery date to the practitioner. Serena Sleep does not guarantee the outcome of obstructive sleep apnea treatment. The warranty becomes invalid if the appliance requires remaking due to changes in the patient’s oral anatomy or if the appliance is damaged beyond repair by the patient. Accessory parts such as straps, hinges, and elastics, as well as bite registration changes, improper cleaning, unauthorized modifications, or other non-manufacturing issues, are not covered.
7. Returns, Exchanges, and Adjustments
All product returns or remakes must be processed through the healthcare professional. Custom products are non-returnable except when covered under warranty. If a remake or return is required, you must contact us first for instructions. Products must be shipped prepaid for evaluation. If the issue is covered under warranty, we will proceed accordingly. Repairs that are not covered under warranty will be billed at the prevailing service rates.
8. Liability Restrictions
Our total liability for any claim, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, is limited to the purchase price of the Product, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We are not responsible for indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost revenue, medical costs, or reputational harm, even if such damages were foreseeable.
These limitations apply regardless of the failure of any remedy’s essential purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so these limitations may not apply in those jurisdictions.
9. Your Indemnity Obligations
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our affiliates, employees, and agents, from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses, including legal fees, arising from your negligent or improper use or fitting of Products, inaccurate prescriptions or patient data, regulatory violations, patient disputes related to your professional services, or breaches of these Terms.
You must provide prompt notice of any claim. We reserve the right to participate in the defense at our own cost. No settlement that affects us may be entered into without our prior written approval.
10. Ownership of Intellectual Property
All rights related to our designs, trademarks, patents, copyrights, and proprietary know-how remain exclusively ours. Purchasing our Products does not transfer ownership or grant any license beyond their professional use in patient care. You may not copy, reverse engineer, disassemble, or commercialize our products or technology. You agree to notify us if you become aware of any potential intellectual property infringement.
11. Handling of Confidential Information
During our professional relationship, you may gain access to confidential or proprietary information such as formulas, pricing structures, or technical details. You must treat this information as confidential and use it solely for purposes related to order fulfillment. You must also take reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure. Upon request or termination of the relationship, such information must be returned or destroyed.
We also protect patient data you provide in accordance with applicable privacy laws and use it solely for manufacturing, compliance, and service purposes. Confidentiality obligations remain in effect for seven years following termination of the relationship.
12. Unforeseeable Events
Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, labor disputes, or government actions. The affected party must promptly notify the other party, and obligations will resume once conditions allow. If delays extend beyond 60 days, either party may terminate the affected orders without penalty.
13. Law Governing and Resolution of Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes must be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and you consent to their jurisdiction and waive any objections to venue.
Neither party will be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, supply chain disruptions, labor disputes, or government actions.
