Express Assumption of Risk & Release of Liability – COVID-19 & Other Infectious and/or Communicable Diseases
SALONS PROVIDE AN INHERENT RISK OF EXPOSURE TO VIRUSES SUCH AS COVID-19. The CDC advises that older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. You should evaluate your risk in providing or receiving Services, as applicable. People who show no symptoms can spread COVID-19 if they are infected; any interaction with others in a Salon poses an elevated risk of being exposed to COVID-19. This section is an acknowledgement and express assumption of risk and release of liability as it relates to the risks of being exposed to or contracting COVID-19 (as defined by the World Health Organization and any strains, variants, or mutations thereof), the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, or any other communicable and/or infectious disease, while providing or receiving Services, as applicable. By provided Services as a Stylist, or receiving Services as a Customer, you are acknowledging and confirming on your behalf, both now and in the future, that you understand and expressly assume the risk that you may be exposed to COVID-19, the Coronavirus that causes COVID-19, or other communicable and/or infectious diseases. You expressly understand that these risks include contracting COVID-19 or other communicable and/or infectious diseases and the associated dangers, medical complications, and physical and mental injuries, both foreseen and unforeseen, that may result from contracting COVID-19 or other communicable and/or infectious diseases. You further acknowledge and understand that potential exposure to or contraction of COVID-19 or any other communicable and/or infectious diseases are risks inherent in your decision to provide or receive Services, as applicable, that cannot be eliminated. You further acknowledge and understand that if infected with COVID-19, the Coronavirus that causes COVID-19, or any other communicable and/or infectious disease, you may infect others you subsequently come into contact with, even if you are not experiencing or displaying any symptoms of illness yourself, and that the risk of spreading COVID-19 to others remains even after providing or receiving Services, as applicable. The same is true for many other communicable and/or infectious diseases you may be exposed to while providing or receiving Services, as applicable. You agree that: YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND YOUR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, HEIRS, SPOUSE, GUARDIANS, EXECUTORS, ADMINISTRATORS, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS AND NEXT OF KIN HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, HOLD HARMLESS AND AGREE NOT TO SUE THE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, LIABILITY OR DEMAND OF WHATEVER KIND OR NATURE, EITHER IN LAW OR IN EQUITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR PERSONAL INJURIES OR WRONGFUL DEATH) THAT MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH, OR RELATE IN ANY WAY TO, EXPOSURE TO OR CONTRACTION OF A COMMUNICABLE AND/OR INFECTIOUS DISEASE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COVID-19 (OR THE CORONAVIRUS THAT CAUSES COVID-19), WHILE PROVIDING OR RECEIVING SERVICES (AS APPLICABLE), INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE CLAIMS THAT ARISE AS A RESULT OF: (I) THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES, AND/OR (II) THE INHERENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING OR RECEIVING SALON SERVICES (AS APPLICABLE) WHILE THE THREAT OF INFECTIOUS AND/OR COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IS PRESENT. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE EXTENDS TO AND ENCOMPASSES ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, LIABILITIES OR DEMANDS THAT RELATE IN ANY WAY TO EXPOSURE TO OR CONTRACTION OF A COMMUNICABLE OR INFECTIOUS DISEASE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, COVID-19, BY ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO YOUR MINOR CHILDREN AND/OR FAMILY MEMBERS, AS A RESULT OF THEIR VISITING A STYLIST OR AS A RESULT OF THEM BEING EXPOSED TO SUCH DISEASES BY YOU AFTER YOUR VISIT WITH A STYLIST. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT IT IS YOUR INTENTION THAT THE FOREGOING RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE IS BEING ENTERED INTO ON YOUR BEHALF, AS SET FORTH ABOVE, AND ALSO ON THE BEHALF OF ANY OTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO VISITS A STYLIST.

All information we collect on this Website is subject to our Privacy Policy. By using the Website, you consent to all actions taken by us with respect to your information in compliance with the Privacy Policy.
Online Purchases and Other Terms and Conditions
The Website includes a platform that connects salons, merchants, stylists and professionals (collectively or individually, "Stylists") providing hair, beauty and other health and wellness services ("Services") with clients seeking such services ("Customers"). The Stylists and Customers are both users of the Services provided by the Website and are referred to collectively as "Users."
BY PLACING OR ACCEPTING AN ORDER FOR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THE WEBSITE, YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND YOU ACCEPT AND ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU AFFIRM THAT IF YOU PLACE OR ACCEPT AN ORDER ON BEHALF OF AN ORGANIZATION OR COMPANY, YOU HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND ANY SUCH ORGANIZATION OR COMPANY TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
YOU MAY NOT ORDER OR OBTAIN PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM THIS WEBSITE IF YOU (A) DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, (B) ARE NOT THE OLDER OF (i) AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR (ii) LEGAL AGE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY, OR (C) ARE PROHIBITED FROM ACCESSING OR USING THIS WEBSITE OR ANY OF THIS WEBSITE’S CONTENTS, GOODS OR SERVICES BY APPLICABLE LAW.
The Company solely provides a platform for Stylists and Customers to connect and serves only as a medium to facilitate the provision of Services. The Company does not provide or contract for Services, and Stylists and Customers contract independently for the provision of Services. Each Customer is solely responsible for selecting the Stylist, the Services to be provided and the location at which Services will be performed, whether on the premises of a Stylist or at a site designated by the Customer. Any decision by a Customer to receive Services or by a Stylist to provide Services is a decision made in such person's sole discretion and at their own risk. All Users understand and acknowledge that (i) the Company does not conduct background checks on Customers or Stylists and (ii) any provision of Services in a private location inherently increases the risks involved for both Stylists and Customers.
The Company does not have control over the quality, suitability, reliability, timing, durability, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of any Services provided by Stylists nor of the integrity, responsibility or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Stylists and Customers. The Company makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to Services offered or provided by Stylists or requested by Customers through use of the Services, whether in public, private, or offline interactions, or about the accreditation, registration or licensing of any Stylist. You understand that The Company does not routinely screen its Users, inquire into the background of its Users or attempt to verify information provided by any User. The Company does not verify or confirm that any User is who they claim to be or is accurately representing themselves and does not verify or confirm any representations with respect to Services. The Company does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of this information or any information provided through the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, but is not obligated to, check the background and experience of Stylists via third-party background check services and first party interviews, including but not limited to a verification of identity and a comprehensive criminal background check, and may terminate a Stylist based on any information discovered during such background checks and first party interviews. Whether or not the Company conducts a background check or first party interview on a Stylist, each Customer must decide whether a Stylist is suited to such Customer's needs and should exercise caution and common sense to protect their personal safety and property, just as they would when interacting with anyone you don't know.
In connection with certain services, including the Services, for which reservations or orders may be made on the Services, the Company may charge a fee; any applicable fees will be disclosed to you and identified at checkout. Some Stylists may require Customers to enter credit card or other payment information, and such Stylists may charge fees for reservations, including cancelled and missed appointments. The Stylists are only allowed to do so in accordance with any policy posted on such Stylist’s page on the Website at the time of your booking/ordering. By entering payment information when requested, a Customer authorizes the Company and its payment processors to charge and process the fees and charges assessed in connection with the reservations/order in accordance with the policy described on the Stylist's page on the Website at the time of the booking/ordering. While the Company takes what it believes to be reasonable efforts to ensure secure transmission of information to third parties who assess and process payments, the Company is not responsible for any fees or charges assessed by third parties or any errors in the processing of payments by third parties, including any errors that result from third-party negligence, improper transmission of payment information, your mistaken submission of payment information, or your submission of erroneous payment information.
Stylists may offer loyalty programs to Customers. If a Stylist offers such a loyalty program, the Stylist (and not the Company) is responsible for ensuring that its program and any associated rewards are compliant with applicable federal and state laws, including laws governing prepaid cards and special offers such as rebates and coupons. The Stylists agree to make available to Customers any terms and conditions applicable to such Stylist’s loyalty program.

THE COMPANY IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO, AND DOES NOT ROUTINELY, SCREEN ITS USERS, INQUIRE INTO THE BACKGROUND OF ITS USERS OR ATTEMPT TO VERIFY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ANY USER. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, BUT HAVE NO OBLIGATION, TO MONITOR DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER USERS. PLEASE CAREFULLY SELECT THE TYPE OF INFORMATION THAT YOU POST ON THE SERVICES OR THROUGH THE SERVICES OR RELEASE TO OTHERS. WE DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, FOR THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF OTHER PARTICIPANTS OR USERS.

THE COMPANY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE USE OF ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT YOU DISCLOSE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES.
