Our Approach

In order to achieve our vision of giving 10,000 people the smile they deserve by 2022, byteCares will select recipients who have forgone traditional dental care due to cost and/or access.

GET INVOLVED

Who Our Recipients Will Be

The ideal byteCares recipient is someone who wants and deserves a better smile, but who have not been able to afford traditional dental treatment on their own.

More than 59% of adults report forgoing dental care due to cost, and 35% of low-income adults avoid smiling due to the condition of their teeth. We are working to fix this issue through byteCares oral healthcare services.

Partnering With Local Organizations

byteCares is always looking to partner with local organizations, specifically in the areas of healthcare, education, psychology, social programming, and youth mentorship.

As a part of any byteCares partnership, the byteCares team can host “byte Day” at local organizations. This is an educational workshop that discusses the importance of dental hygiene and helps to identify potential candidates for byteCares dental care.

Expected Community Impact

A great smile doesn’t just influence the person wearing it…it influences everyone they interact with throughout their day.

So while we expect to influence at least 10,000 people directly by providing dental care, we anticipate that the positivity generated through brighter, more confident smiles will help to uplift an entire community.

22. Disputes
If a dispute of any kind arises, we want to understand and address your concerns quickly and to your satisfaction. Please contact us at support@byteme.com with any dispute. If we cannot resolve your concerns, we agree to an informal and inexpensive dispute resolution process requiring individual arbitration. “Disputes” between you and Company, including Company Parties, are defined for the purposes of these Terms to include any claim, controversy, or dispute (whether involving contract, tort, equitable, statutory, or any other legal theory) between you and Company including, but not limited to, any claims relating in any way to these Terms (including its breach, termination, or interpretation), any other aspect of our relationship, Company advertising, and any use of Company services. ‍
23. Binding Individual Arbitration
You and Company agree to arbitrate all Disputes. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY BE ON A INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHTS TO HAVE YOUR CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST COMPANY. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All Disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by ADR Services, Inc. according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules for that forum. Consumer claimants (individuals whose transaction is intended for personal, family, or household use) may elect to pursue their claims in their local small-claims court rather than through arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, fully applies. If you are a consumer bringing a claim relating to personal, household, or family use, any arbitration hearing will occur within the county or parish where you reside. Otherwise, any arbitration hearing will occur in Los Angeles County, California, or another mutually agreeable location, or a location ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you prevail on any claim for which you are legally entitled to attorney’s fees, you may recover those fees from the arbitrator. For any claim where you are seeking relief, Company will not seek to have you pay its attorney’s fees, even if fees might otherwise be awarded, unless the arbitrator determines that your claim was frivolous. For purposes of this arbitration provision, references to you and Company also include respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors, successors, and assigns. ‍
