The GlossGenius Service is a platform that powers the businesses of Professionals and facilitates interaction with clients seeking the services of such Professionals' businesses (collectively or individually, the “Clients”). Each business account must have an account owner and administrator who is the “Account Owner” of the GlossGenius Services. Account Owners, Professionals, and Clients are collectively or individually referred to herein as “Users.” Any subscription or registration related to the GlossGenius Services (each, a “Subscription”), are subject to these Terms of Service. Your Subscription may only be used for the purpose of representing and enabling your business. You must be an authorized representative of the business you represent on the GlossGenius Services. Personal, consumer or family use of a Subscription is not intended or permitted.

THESE TERMS OF SERVICE SET FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS FOR YOUR USE OF THE GLOSSGENIUS SERVICES, WHETHER IN CONNECTION WITH A SUBSCRIPTION OR FREE TRIAL, AND REQUIRE MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND GLOSSGENIUS TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS, A CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF DISPUTES, AND OBLIGATIONS TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

IN PARTICULAR, PROFESSIONALS SHOULD UNDERSTAND HOW THE LAWS WORK IN THEIR RESPECTIVE MUNICIPALITIES, CITIES, COUNTIES, STATES, AND COUNTRIES BEFORE PROVIDING SERVICES. SOME STATES HAVE LAWS THAT REGULATE COSMETOLOGY AND COSMETOLOGY-RELATED SERVICES, IN ADDITION TO PAYMENT AND PAYMENT PROCESSING COLLECTIONS PRACTICES. IN MANY STATES, BEAUTY SERVICES PROVIDERS MUST BE LICENSED BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO COMMERCIALLY PROVIDE BEAUTY SERVICES. PENALTIES MAY INCLUDE FINES OR OTHER ENFORCEMENT.

If you are a covered entity subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and plan to use the GlossGenius Services to create, receive, maintain or transmit Protected Health Information as defined under HIPAA (“PHI”), you must (i) request and sign a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) with GlossGenius, (ii) subscribe and use the applicable GlossGenius Services configured for HIPAA, (iii) comply with any privacy and security configurations or documentation that GlossGenius requests, and (iv) comply with any and all GlossGenius policies regarding HIPAA’s privacy and security rules and PHI.

Consumer Health Data

Certain states have restrictions on collecting, sharing, and/or selling consumer health data without first receiving the individual’s affirmative opt-in consent. Consumer health data is generally defined as personal information that is linked or reasonably linkable to a consumer and that identifies the consumer’s past, present, or future physical or mental health status. It can include information about a Client’s pregnancy status, menstrual cycle, allergies, or topical medications that they use. Consumer health data may also include not only traditional health information but biometric data and inferences about a consumer’s health condition derived from purchases of non-health products or services.

You agree that if you are providing services in a state with a consumer health data law, you shall not collect, share, or sell consumer health data through the GlossGenius website, Services, or App, unless you have subscribed to and use the applicable GlossGenius Services configured for HIPAA, have completed a BAA with GlossGenius, and have instituted the requisite disclosure and opt-in consent mechanisms, cybersecurity and privacy practices, and any other requirements of your jurisdiction’s laws. You also agree that you will not condition services on a consumer’s agreement to provide consumer health data to you.

You also agree that you will be solely responsible for determining whether information constitutes consumer health data in the U.S. state or territory in which you are providing services. You also agree that you will be solely responsible for complying with any and all applicable laws, and further that GlossGenius shall have no liability for consumer health data collected, shared, and/or sold in contravention of this Section.

8. FEES AND PAYMENTS

Fees for the Subscription (“Subscription Fees”) and fees applicable to each transaction with Clients that you process using the GlossGenius Services (“Payment Processing Fees”) are set forth online (on our Site, in the App, or otherwise in your Account) and/or in a separate Subscription agreement entered into between you and GlossGenius. Subscription Fees and Payment Processing Fees are collectively referred to herein as “Fees.” You agree to: (i) pay GlossGenius the Subscription Fees and any other applicable fees for the Services, and (ii) allow GlossGenius to retain the applicable Payment Processing Fees. Unless otherwise stated, Subscription Fees will be collected and must be paid for in advance of each billing period. All Fees paid to GlossGenius are non-refundable and non-transferable, except as explicitly provided for in these Terms of Service.

By providing your credit card information or information about another payment method accepted by GlossGenius (“Payment Method”) for the GlossGenius Services, you agree that GlossGenius is authorized to charge the Payment Method for all applicable Subscription Fees when due and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the GlossGenius Services. Further, you authorize GlossGenius to confirm that the Payment Method is in good standing with a financial institution for the term of your use of the GlossGenius Services. You further authorize GlossGenius to obtain credit reports or run other background inquiries to assess a Professional’s eligibility to continue using the GlossGenius Services. All balances, fees, charges and payments collected or paid in connection with the GlossGenius Services are denominated in USD. You are responsible for paying and remitting to the applicable tax authority any sales, use or other similar taxes (if applicable, including VAT) applicable to (i) your purchase of the GlossGenius Services, and (ii) for the services provided to Clients.

Reserves

GlossGenius is not a bank or a money transmitter. GlossGenius may, in our sole discretion, hold reserves for all or a portion of the charges processed by us. In certain circumstances, we may require you to place funds in reserve or to impose conditions on the release of funds (defined as a “Reserve”). We reserve the right to impose a Reserve on a Professional’s Account if, for example, we determine that the risk of loss to GlossGenius or otherwise associated with your Account is higher than reasonably normal. This may include, by way of example and not limitation, if your activities increase the risk of loss to GlossGenius, you have violated these Terms of Service, or your Account has an elevated number of disputes. If we impose a Reserve on your Account, we will establish the terms of the Reserve and provide you with notice of the amount, timing, and conditions upon which the funds in the Reserve will be released to you. GlossGenius reserves the right to change or condition the terms of the Reserve based on our continuous assessment of the risk associated with your GlossGenius Account.

Billing Cycle

Your Subscription to the GlossGenius Services commences on the date that you sign up for a Subscription or on the date following the end of your free trial period. Unless otherwise stated at the time of sign up, each Subscription runs on a one-month cycle (“Subscription Period”) and will automatically renew monthly until you cancel your Subscription or delete your Account by following the appropriate procedures within the GlossGenius Services or notifying support@glossgenius.com, unless we have earlier terminated your Account. You will be billed on the first date of your Subscription (after your free trial period, if applicable), and each monthly anniversary thereafter. For example, if your Subscription begins on April 29th, it will renew on May 29th, June 29th, and so on. If your Subscription begins on a date that is not present in every billing cycle (e.g. the 31st), you will be billed on the last day of every month. GlossGenius may change the timing of our billing and we reserve the right to modify the schedule at which you will be billed. The amount billed to you each month may vary due to promotional offers and/or changing your Subscription plan and you acknowledge these variations and authorize GlossGenius to bill you as necessary.

Changes to Fees

GlossGenius reserves the right to adjust the Fees at any time and for any reason upon fourteen (14) days prior notice. Unless otherwise stated, any change to the Fees will be reflected on the next billing cycle after the change takes effect. To continue to use the GlossGenius Services, you must agree to any change in Fees. If you do not agree to any change in Fees, you must either cancel your Subscription or request Account deletion by following the appropriate procedures within the GlossGenius Services or notifying support@glossgenius.com.

Trials

GlossGenius may offer trial memberships for varying lengths which may include free or discounted access to the GlossGenius Services during such trial periods. GlossGenius reserves the right to end the availability of trial memberships at any time and for any reason. After the trial period, you acknowledge that your membership will automatically convert to a regular monthly Subscription for the then-applicable Fees unless cancelled by written notice as set forth below prior to the end of your trial period.

Subscription Cancellation or Account Deletion

You may cancel your Subscription or delete your Account at any time by following the appropriate procedures within the GlossGenius Services or notifying support@glossgenius.com. Cancellation of your Subscription means that you will no longer have access to your Account or your Account data, and we will cease billing you on your next billing cycle. If you cancel your subscription, you may reinstate your Account by contacting support@glossgenius.com. Deletion of your Account means that we will delete all of your Account data, except as required by applicable law, and we will cease billing you on your next billing cycle. You may not reinstate your Account after an Account deletion request as we will no longer have access to your Account data.

You must cancel your Subscription or delete your Account prior to your next billing cycle to avoid charges for the following billing cycle. If you do not cancel your Subscription or delete your Account prior to your next billing cycle, then you will be automatically charged for the subsequent month. All Subscription Fees are non-refundable. You acknowledge that you are ineligible for a pro-rated refund of any amount of the Subscription Fees paid for the then-current monthly subscription cycle at which you request cancellation of your Subscription or deletion of your Account. For any questions related to your individual billing cycle, please log onto your Account to view your billing cycle information or contact us at support@glossgenius.com.

You are solely responsible for compliance with federal, state, and local laws that apply to your gift cards, including but not limited to notice and disclosure requirements, expiration dates and fees, refunds, cash back, unclaimed property or escheat requirements (such as tracking, reporting, and remittance of unclaimed property balances in all states), and customer service for your Clients and holders of gift cards.

Gift cards sold by you are gift cards that are only redeemable from you for your services and goods. GlossGenius does not assess a fee, or impose any limitations, on the redemption of a gift card to purchase services or goods from you. GlossGenius is not responsible for any lost or stolen gift cards. All gift cards and the funds associated with gift cards are your sole property. Any liability for the use or misuse of your gift cards, and any third-party claims arising from or relating to your gift cards, are your sole responsibility.

17. GENERATED OUTPUT

(a) Certain features of the Services use artificial intelligence tools and other technology (the “Generative Tools”) to generate text, audio, video, and other content (“Outputs”) in response to prompts and other inputs you submit to the Services (“Inputs”). Both Inputs and Outputs are considered User Content under these Terms of Service, and as between you and GlossGenius, you own all right, title, and interest in and to any Inputs and Outputs, to the extent protectable under applicable law. The Generative Tools may include artificial intelligence and other tools and technologies provided by third parties, and you acknowledge that your use of the Generative Tools may involve access to your Inputs and Outputs by GlossGenius and/or such third parties, and that such access may be pursuant to agreements you enter into with those third parties, rather than or in addition to these Terms of Service. You understand that due to the nature of the Generative Tools, Outputs you generate may not be unique, and it is possible that the Generative Tools may generate the same or similar Outputs for other users if the Inputs are similar. You acknowledge that the use of such Generative Tools may affect your ability to obtain or enforce any intellectual property rights in or to the Outputs.

(b) Although we are constantly striving to improve the Services and the quality and accuracy of Outputs, you acknowledge that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are rapidly evolving and may produce Outputs that are inaccurate, unreliable, inappropriate, infringing, or otherwise unsuitable or that do not meet your expectations.

(c) You agree not to use the Generative Tools or the resulting Outputs in a manner that may infringe upon or violate the rights of any third party or violate any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, and you acknowledge and agree that (1) you are solely responsible for vetting and evaluating the accuracy, appropriateness, legality, and suitability for your use of any Outputs before using, including evaluating whether such use will infringe upon or violate the rights of others; and (2) you assume all risk associated with your use of the Generative Tools and its resulting Outputs and that GlossGenius will have no liability for such use.

(d) You also acknowledge and agree that we and any third parties who provide any artificial intelligence technologies used to provide the Generative Tools may access and use your Inputs, Outputs and other User Content in order to train, improve, and develop such technologies and the Services and for other research and development purposes.

18. AGE REQUIREMENTS

We do not knowingly permit children under the age of 18 to maintain Accounts without parental consent. GlossGenius does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information about children under 18, except with their parent’s consent.

Additionally, the GlossGenius Services are not intended for use by minors under the age of 13. We do not collect personally identifiable information from any person we know is a child under the age of 13. Should we be alerted that we have inadvertently collected personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13, we will take steps to immediately delete such information.

19. TERMINATION

We may terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the GlossGenius Services (including, without limitation, content, features, or hours of availability), at any time and for any reason. We also reserve the right to transfer our business and the GlossGenius Services to a third party. We may restrict, suspend or terminate your Account or your access to the GlossGenius Services if we believe you are in breach of these Terms of Service or applicable law, or for any other reason permitted by law without notice or liability.

If we have terminated your Account or have otherwise canceled your access to the GlossGenius Services, except where cancellation of your Subscription or deletion of your Account is initiated solely by you, you may not return to the GlossGenius Services for any reason or in any manner without GlossGenius’s prior written consent, including by using the GlossGenius Services under a new username or identity. In the event that you do return, or attempt to return, to the GlossGenius Services after we have terminated your Account, you will be deemed to have breached these Terms of Service, and we reserve the rights to obtain reimbursement from you for any costs and expenses incurred to enforce these Terms of Service and otherwise to pursue all rights and remedies available at law or in equity with respect to such breach.

If your Account is terminated by GlossGenius or deleted by you, or if you cancel your Subscription, note that the following will occur: any pending transactions will be canceled, any funds that are being held for you in custody at the time of the termination, deletion, or cancellation, less any Fees, will be paid out according to your payout schedule, assuming all payout-related requirements have been fulfilled. Your funds may be held if there is a pending investigation at the time of your Account termination or deletion or Subscription cancellation. If the investigation yields that you are entitled to some or all of the funds in dispute, we will promptly release those funds to you.

Additionally, if your Account is terminated by GlossGenius or deleted by you, or if you cancel your Subscription, for any reason or for no reason at all, you agree that (i) you will be bound by these Terms of Service to the extent such obligations survive termination or deletion of your Account or cancellation of your Subscription; (ii) you will immediately stop using the GlossGenius Services; (iii) any licenses to any of the GlossGenius Services granted to you under these Terms of Service shall end; (iv) your access to third-party platforms via the GlossGenius Services will be canceled; and (v) GlossGenius may retain all Account data (a) as required by law and/or (b) in its ordinary course of business as maintained in its data retention and backup systems; provided that GlossGenius may only use Account data pursuant to its Privacy Policy and in accordance with applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if your Account is deleted by you in accordance with these Terms of Service, then GlossGenius will process deletion of your Account data, except for any Account data that we are legally permitted to retain, such as tax documents. GlossGenius is not liable for any compensation, reimbursement or damages in connection with the termination or deletion of your Account, the cancellation of your Subscription, or any termination of access to a third-party platform via the GlossGenius Services. Termination or deletion of your Account or cancellation of your Subscription does not relieve you of any obligations to pay any Fees, debts or costs accrued in connection with use of the GlossGenius Services.

20. INDEMNIFICATION

By using the GlossGenius Services you acknowledge and agree that, in the event that it becomes necessary or advisable for us to defend ourselves, in a court of law or otherwise, we may rely on your representations and warranties contained herein. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GlossGenius and our subsidiaries and affiliates, and each of our respective directors, officers, partners, employees, and agents (individually and collectively, the “GlossGenius Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, demands, damages, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (“Claims”), arising out of or related to (i) your access to or use of the GlossGenius Services or any Account; (ii) your User Content or Comments; (iii) your violation, infringement, or misappropriation of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); (iv) your violation of these Terms of Service; or (v) your conduct in connection with the GlossGenius Services or any Account.

The GlossGenius Parties reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to assume the exclusive defense, control, or settlement of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between you and GlossGenius or the other GlossGenius Parties.

23. ARBITRATION; JURY WAIVER AND NO CLASS ACTION

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. Except for either party’s claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, any and all disputes between you and GlossGenius arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Service, including your use of the GlossGenius Services, shall be fully resolved by binding arbitration as described in this Section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND GLOSSGENIUS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND GLOSSGENIUS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED OR PUTATIVE CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; YOU AND GLOSSGENIUS AGREE THAT CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. The arbitration will be governed by the then applicable Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Section. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, the AAA, you and GlossGenius must abide by the following rules: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions; and (ii) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules, and the hearing (if any) must take place in New York County, New York. The arbitrator’s ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable by a court, then the disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York. Claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York. You agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms of Service, which incorporate the Privacy Policy, Data Processing Addendum, Acceptable Use Policy, Payments Terms, Referral Program Policy, and SMS Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the GlossGenius Services.

25. MISCELLANEOUS

The Terms of Service, and the relationship between you and us, shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” If any provision of these Terms of Service is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of these Terms of Service will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship to GlossGenius is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms of Service, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without GlossGenius’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. These Terms of Service may be assigned, subcontracted, delegated or otherwise transferred by GlossGenius in its sole discretion. These Terms of Service shall be binding upon any permitted assignees.
