Shopping Online
We have made every effort to make it as easy as possible for you to order online. When shopping the site, simply add an item to your shopping cart by selecting the "Add to Cart" icon. This will take you to a page that shows you what you have in your shopping cart. Additionally, you may always view the items you have added to your cart by selecting the "shopping cart" link at the top of any page. You may also checkout by selecting the "checkout" hyperlink located on the shopping cart page.
Once you are viewing the contents of your cart, you may adjust quantities by changing the number to the right of items, and then by selecting "update quantities" after all quantity adjustments have been made. If you would like to remove items from your cart, simply select the "remove" link to the right of the item.
Once you are ready to checkout with the items in your shopping cart, select the "checkout" button and follow the on-screen instructions. Once your order has been successfully submitted, you will receive an order confirmation to the email address provided during checkout. The merchandise sold on our site is intended for personal use only, and not for resale. We reserve the right to cancel orders that appear to be for resale purposes.

Our Commitment to Privacy:
We value you as a customer and respect your privacy. We collect certain information from you that allows us to customize and enhance your shopping experience and to communicate with you about our products, services and promotions. We are committed to managing this information responsibly so that you are in control of your personal information and the communications you receive from us.
Please be aware that our website may contain links to other sites hosted by third parties. Advanced Endodontics does not control and is not responsible for the content or privacy practices and policies of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our website and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information from you.
The Information We Collect:
You can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any other personal information about yourself. We may track the Internet domain address from which you visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless and until you identify yourself to us.Advanced Endodontics collects personally identifiable information from you when you register for services, place an order, participate in a survey, or request other services that require information, registration or subscription. This information may include your name, mailing address, email address, phone/fax number, occupation or dental specialty, and/or your areas of interest. We may also keep a record of your product purchases. We DO NOT maintain a record of your credit card number(s).
Whether or not you provide any of your personal information is your own choice. If you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to purchase products or access certain services, offers and content on our website.
How We Use Information:
Advanced Endodontics uses customer information for three general purposes: to customize the advertising and content you see on our site; to fulfill your requests for certain products and services (i.e. streaming purchased content); and to contact you about new products or services, special events and promotions. We use Internet domain addresses for internal purposes to analyze trends, administer the site, track your movement and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Advanced Endodontics typically will not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information, but reserves the right to do so in order to identify a user when we feel this is necessary to enforce compliance with our internal policies or the Advanced Endodontics Terms of Use (available on our website) or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
How We Share Information:
Advanced Endodontics may send personally identifiable information about you to other companies or people when: we need to share such information with companies that work on behalf of Advanced Endodontics in order for them to provide a product or service you have requested (sometimes known as service providers); we respond to subpoenas, court orders or legal process; or we find that your actions on one of our web sites violate the Advanced Endodontics Terms of Use or any of our usage guidelines for specific products or services. We prohibit our service providers from using your information except to the extent necessary to fulfill their services to us. In the event that some or all of our business assets are sold or transferred, we would transfer your information to the buyer or transferee.
Advanced Endodontics may also share aggregate demographic information (such as your dental specialty and types of products or services purchased) with our business partners and other third parties to customize our online content, services and advertising to enrich your experience at our site. Such information does not identify any individual person.
How You Can Access, Change or Delete Your Information:
You may, at any time, access, verify, correct, update or remove your information by contacting Advanced Endodontics by email at info@endoruddle.com or by telephone at (800) 753-3636 or (805) 964-8838. In addition, if you prefer not to receive information from us, please let us know by sending us an email or calling us at the above address or number. Please note that it may take up to two weeks for your request to become effective. Thereafter, when you make purchases, we may still send you an email confirmation and may need to contact you by phone, postal mail or email if we have questions regarding your order.
Changes to Policy
Advanced Endodontics reserves the right to change, modify or amend this policy from time to time without prior notice to you. We will post the changes here. Advanced Endodontics encourages you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how we collect, use and protect your information.
This Policy is effective as of May 2006.
Security Notice
Advanced Endodontics is very concerned about our customers' security.
This website secures all sensitive information by using 128-bit SSL (secure socket layers) encryption technology. When you submit sensitive information via our website, such as a credit card number, that information is encrypted and protected. Because sending information by email is insecure, we do not recommend placing orders by email; rather, you should utilize our website. This is the best way to protect your personal information. Note: We DO NOT maintain a record of your credit card number(s).
Since secure transaction processing slows things down a bit, most sites (including ours) do not secure the transaction until you reach the pages where you are entering personal data such as your address and credit card number. So, while you are perusing our site and adding items to the shopping cart, the secure processing is turned off. When you begin the checkout process, you will enter a secure section of our website. You may find yourself going back and forth from the secure area to an unsecured area. Rest assured that all sensitive information remains completely secure. Should you discover an unauthorized use of your credit or debit card, you should immediately notify your card provider in accordance with the terms of your agreement with that company.
For more information about security, we suggest you visit the Authorize.net website.
