Grin offers the ability for you to purchase the Device directly from Grin, select an orthodontist, and perform a preliminary scan of your teeth for review by your orthodontist. Your orthodontist will create a preliminary treatment plan for your approval and send it to you for approval via the App. Upon your receipt of the preliminary treatment plan, you may accept and pay to complete the transaction, including through Financing as applicable, or you can discuss further with your orthodontist. Grin will facilitate your payment to the orthodontist so no in-office payment is required. The preliminary treatment plan recommended by your orthodontist and accepted by you is subject to change based upon further patient examinations and x-ray results. Once you have accepted the preliminary treatment plan and Grin has processed your payment, your orthodontist will schedule an in-person appointment to take x-rays and/or 3D scans, and create a final treatment plan. If the cost of the final treatment plan agreed upon between you and your orthodontist is different than the preliminary treatment plan you previously purchased, Grin will facilitate any refund or further payment needed on behalf of your orthodontist.

Grin or such third-party provider shall treat any such information provided in the manner described in our Privacy Policy.

You agree to pay all Fees incurred by you by credit card, another applicable payment mechanism offered via the Services, or Financing as applicable, including, without limitation, all shipping and handling charges. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT MECHANISM USED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY TRANSACTION. Verification of information applicable to an Order may be required prior to Grin’s acceptance of any Order.
Payments not made through Financing are processed through a third-party e-commerce and payment processing service made available by Stripe.com or other service providers (“Payment Processor”) and are subject to these Terms and the applicable provisions of the Payment Processor’s terms of service. Stripe’s terms of service are available at: https://stripe.com/ssa.
The Fees are exclusive of all taxes, customs, duties, and shipping charges applicable to your Order, which you shall solely bear. The cost of shipping (if any) shall be as specified during the Order Process. Except as provided herein, all payments hereunder, including those made through Financing as applicable, shall be non-refundable except as provided under the Returns Policy or required by applicable law.

Grin reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel Orders if any such information is inaccurate at any time without prior notice (including after you have submitted your Order). Grin undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify information in the App, or the Order Process or on any related website, including without limitation, pricing information, except as required by law. No specified update or refresh date applied in the App, or the Order Process, or on any related website should be taken to indicate that all information in the Services or on any related website has been modified or updated.
Grin reserves the right to refuse any Order you place with Grin. In the event that Grin makes a change to, or cancels, an Order, Grin will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address and/or phone number provided at the time the Order was made.
