Welcome to Florida Top Dentists, a branded directory service of Top1Dentist.com published and operated by MedNova Publications. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the website, appointment-enquiry features, editorial dentist profiles, advertising services and paid featured-listing subscriptions. By accessing the website, submitting information or purchasing a listing, you agree to these Terms.
1. Informational Directory
Florida Top Dentists is an informational directory, publishing and promotional platform. It is not a dental practice, healthcare provider, emergency service, insurance company or professional licensing authority. Website content does not constitute dental diagnosis, treatment advice or a substitute for consultation with a qualified dentist. Use of the website does not create a dentist–patient relationship with Florida Top Dentists, Top1Dentist.com or MedNova Publications.
2. Featured Placement and City Exclusivity
Florida Top Dentists may offer one primary paid featured position on a designated Florida city page. City exclusivity applies only to the principal featured placement covered by an active subscription. Editorial references, nearby practitioners, informational lists, advertisements, search results, related articles and mentions of other dentists or dental practices do not violate featured-placement exclusivity.
The terms “Top 1,” “Florida Top Dentist,” “featured dentist” and similar labels are branded editorial or promotional designations. They do not represent an independent clinical ranking, government recognition, professional certification, guarantee of treatment quality or claim that a subscriber is superior to every other dentist in a city. Paid featured placements should be understood as sponsored or promotional listings where disclosed.
3. Eligibility and Professional Standards
A dentist or dental practice applying for a featured listing must be legally authorized to provide the advertised services in the relevant jurisdiction. Subscribers are responsible for maintaining active professional licences, registrations, insurance and other authorizations required for their practice. Subscribers must ensure that their qualifications, services, addresses, fees, affiliations and other supplied information are accurate and current.
MedNova Publications may review publicly available licensing or professional information but does not guarantee continuous verification. Subscribers must promptly notify Florida Top Dentists of licence restrictions, disciplinary action, practice closure, material complaints, address changes or other circumstances that could affect the accuracy or suitability of a listing.
4. Subscriptions, Fees and Automatic Renewal
Paid featured listings may be offered at prices ranging from $99.99 to $299.99 USD per month or at another amount displayed in a written proposal, invoice, payment page or checkout screen. The exact price, billing frequency, subscription period and applicable taxes will be disclosed before payment.
Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions automatically renew for successive billing periods until cancelled. By purchasing a subscription, the subscriber expressly authorizes the approved payment provider to charge the selected recurring fee on each renewal date. Subscribers are responsible for maintaining valid billing information and paying any applicable taxes, currency-conversion charges or payment-processing fees disclosed during checkout.
Florida Top Dentists may change subscription prices by providing reasonable advance notice. A revised price will apply to a future renewal and will not retroactively change a billing period that has already been paid.
5. Cancellation and Refunds
Subscribers may cancel through any available payment portal or by emailing contact@top1dentist.com. Cancellation ordinarily becomes effective at the end of the current paid billing period, and the featured position may remain active until that period expires.
Unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated in writing, subscription fees are non-refundable after a billing period begins, and no prorated refund is provided for an unused portion of a month. Cancellation prevents future renewal charges but does not automatically reverse a payment that was properly processed before the cancellation request was received. If a charge was made in error, the subscriber should contact MedNova Publications promptly for review.
When a subscription ends, the primary featured position may be offered to another dentist. Florida Top Dentists may remove subscription badges, promotional claims, appointment features, contact links or enhanced profile content after expiration or cancellation.
6. No Guarantee of Leads or Search Performance
Purchasing a listing does not guarantee Google rankings, search-engine visibility, website traffic, enquiries, telephone calls, appointments, patients, treatments, backlinks, media coverage, revenue or any other commercial result. Search performance and patient activity depend on factors outside the control of Florida Top Dentists, including competition, algorithms, location, reputation, content relevance and patient preferences.
7. Dentist-Supplied Content
Subscribers grant MedNova Publications a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, format, edit, display and promote materials supplied for their listing, including names, biographies, qualifications, photographs, clinic logos, service descriptions, contact details, videos and practice information. This licence continues for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the listing, maintain records and comply with legal obligations.
Subscribers confirm that they own or have permission to use all submitted materials and that the content does not infringe intellectual-property, privacy, publicity or contractual rights. Subscribers must not provide misleading claims, fabricated reviews, altered credentials, unauthorized patient photographs or content that violates professional advertising requirements.
8. Editorial Control and Corrections
Profiles may be prepared using publicly available information, practice-provided details, editorial research and local search relevance. MedNova Publications may edit content for grammar, clarity, formatting, search optimization, accuracy, consistency, legal compliance and website presentation.
Dentists may request reasonable corrections by contacting contact@top1dentist.com. MedNova Publications may request supporting documentation before changing qualifications, memberships, awards or professional claims. Payment for a listing does not provide the subscriber with the right to publish false, misleading, unlawful or unsubstantiated statements.
9. Appointment Enquiries and Patient Communications
Appointment forms and contact features are provided for convenience. Submission of an enquiry does not confirm an appointment and does not guarantee that a message will be accepted or answered by a dental practice. Patients must verify appointment availability, office timings, fees, insurance acceptance, services and treatment suitability directly with the selected practice.
Florida Top Dentists may transmit an enquiry to the selected dentist or practice but is not responsible for the practice’s response, scheduling, communication, diagnosis, treatment recommendations, billing or clinical outcomes. In an emergency, users should contact an appropriate healthcare provider or local emergency service directly.
10. Reviews and Third-Party Information
The website may display or link to reviews, maps, ratings and other information supplied by Google or additional third-party services. Florida Top Dentists does not independently control or guarantee the accuracy, completeness or continued availability of third-party content. Reviews represent the opinions of their original authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of MedNova Publications.
11. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise identified, website designs, text, graphics, layouts, badges, branding, databases and original editorial content are owned by or licensed to MedNova Publications. They may not be copied, republished, sold, scraped or commercially exploited without written permission.
An active subscriber may receive limited permission to display an approved Florida Top Dentists or Top 1 badge while the subscription remains active. This permission is personal, revocable and non-transferable. The badge may not be altered or used to imply government approval, board certification, guaranteed results or superiority over all other dentists.
12. Suspension and Termination
MedNova Publications may refuse, suspend, edit or remove a listing when information appears inaccurate, payment fails, a subscription expires, a licence becomes inactive, a complaint raises a material concern or content may violate law, professional rules, third-party rights or website standards. When reasonably appropriate, the subscriber may be given an opportunity to provide clarification or supporting documentation.
MedNova Publications may immediately remove content involving fraud, impersonation, patient-safety concerns, unauthorized material, abusive conduct or significant legal or reputational risk. Termination for a subscriber’s material breach does not automatically create a right to a refund.
13. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
The website and its services are provided on an “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, MedNova Publications makes no warranty regarding uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, search rankings, listing performance, patient conversions or the accuracy of information supplied by third parties or subscribers.
Florida Top Dentists, Top1Dentist.com and MedNova Publications are not responsible for dental treatment, clinical decisions, professional negligence, patient dissatisfaction, disputes between patients and practices, insurance decisions, billing disagreements, lost profits, loss of data, indirect damages or temporary website interruption. Where liability cannot legally be excluded, the total liability relating to a paid subscription will not exceed the subscription fees paid by the affected subscriber during the six months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
14. Indemnification
Dentist subscribers agree to defend and indemnify MedNova Publications, Florida Top Dentists and Top1Dentist.com against third-party claims, losses or reasonable expenses arising from inaccurate information supplied by the subscriber, infringement of intellectual-property rights, unlawful advertising, professional services, patient disputes, regulatory violations or breach of these Terms.
15. Governing Law and Disputes
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts located in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, will have jurisdiction over contractual disputes involving MedNova Publications, subject to any mandatory legal rights or regulatory requirements that cannot lawfully be excluded. Dentists advertising or practising in Florida remain responsible for complying with applicable Florida and United States professional and advertising requirements.
Before initiating formal proceedings, the parties should attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through written communication. Notices concerning disputes may be sent to contact@top1dentist.com.
16. Changes to These Terms
MedNova Publications may revise these Terms to reflect changes in services, pricing, technology, law or business operations. Updated Terms will be published with a revised effective date. Material changes affecting an active paid subscription will be communicated when reasonably practicable and will generally apply from a future renewal period. Continued use of the website or renewal of a subscription after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
17. General Provisions
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. A subscriber may not transfer a featured position or subscription without written approval. These Terms, together with the selected plan, checkout disclosures, invoice and any written listing agreement, constitute the complete agreement concerning the subscribed service.
