Non Discrimination Policy

Our Commitment
The DentistDekho.com community is committed to building a world where people from every background feel welcome and respected, no matter how far they have traveled from home.

Our shared commitment to these principles enables every member of our community to feel welcome on the DentistDekho.com platform no matter who they are, where they come from, how they worship, or whom they love. DentistDekho.com recognizes that some jurisdictions permit, or require, distinctions among individuals based on factors such as national origin, gender, marital status or sexual orientation, and it does not require dentists and/or dental professionals to violate local laws or take actions that may subject them to legal liability. DentistDekho.com will provide additional guidance and adjust this nondiscrimination policy to reflect such permissions and requirements in the jurisdictions where they exist.

We are all committed to doing everything we can to help eliminate all forms of unlawful bias, discrimination and intolerance from our platform.

Inclusion – We welcome guests/patients of all backgrounds with authentic hospitality and open minds. Joining DentistDekho.com, as a dentists and/or dental professional, service provider, user or guest, means becoming part of a community of inclusion. Bias, prejudice, racism, and hatred have no place on our platform or in our community. While dentists and/or dental professionals & service providers are required to follow all applicable laws that prohibit discrimination based on such factors as race, religion, national origin, and others listed below, we commit to do more than comply with the minimum requirements established by law.

Respect – We are respectful of each other in our interactions and encounters. DentistDekho.com appreciates that local laws and cultural norms vary around the world and expects dentists and/or dental professionals, service providers, home owners, users and guests/patients to abide by local laws, and to engage with each other respectfully, even when views may not reflect their beliefs or upbringings. dentistdekho.com’s members bring to our community an incredible diversity of background experiences, beliefs, and customs. By connecting people from different backgrounds, DentistDekho.com fosters greater understanding and appreciation for the common characteristics shared by all human beings and undermines prejudice rooted in misconception, misinformation, or misunderstanding.

DentistDekho.com dentists and/or dental professionals & service providers may not:

Decline a guest/patient based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.

Impose any different terms or conditions based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.

Post any listing or make any statement that discourages or indicates a preference for or against any guest on account of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status.

Substitute their own judgment about whether a service and/or product meets the needs of a guest with a disability for that of the prospective guest.

Inquire about the existence or severity of a guest’s disability, or the means used to accommodate any disability. If, however, a potential guest raises his or her disability, a dentists and/or dental professional/service provider may, and should, discuss with the potential guest/users whether the listing/service meets the potential guest’s needs.

For example, an DentistDekho.com Dentist and/or Dental Professional may turn down a patient who wants to smoke in a Clinic/Hospital.

When guests/patients are turned down. Dentist and/or Dental Professionals should keep in mind that no one likes to be turned down. While a Dentist and/or Dental Professional may have, and articulate, lawful and legitimate reasons for turning down a potential patient, it may cause that member of our community to feel unwelcome or excluded. Dentist and/or Dental Professionals should make every effort to be welcoming to guests/patients of all backgrounds. Dentist and/or Dental Professionals who demonstrate a pattern of rejecting guests/patients from a protected class (even while articulating legitimate reasons), undermine the strength of our community by making potential guests/patients feel unwelcome, and DentistDekho.com may suspend Dentist and/or Dental Professionals who have demonstrated such a pattern from the DentistDekho.com platform.

Dentist and/or Dental Professionals/Service Providers who live in such areas should set out any such restriction on their ability to Dentist and/or Dental Professional particular guests/patients in their listing, so that prospective guests/patients are aware of the issue and DentistDekho.com can confirm the necessity for such an action. In communicating any such restrictions, we expect Dentist and/or Dental Professionals to use clear, factual, non-derogatory terms. Slurs and insults have no place on our platform or in our community.

What happens when a Dentist and/or Dental Professional does not comply with our policies in this area?
