ACCEPTANCE OF AGREEMENT
Via the Website, GIRLZINK provides online training for permanent makeup artists (“Courses”) and operates an online store selling industry-related products including pigments, machines, solutions, merchandise, etc. By accessing or using the Website on any computer, mobile phone, tablet, console or other device (collectively, “Device”), you signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these T&Cs and any other applicable law. This Agreement may be amended at any time from time to time by us without specific notice to you. The latest Agreement will be posted on the Site, and you should review this Agreement prior to using the Website.
USER ELIGIBILITY
The Website and all training is intended solely for users who are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) or older, and any registration, access to or use of the Website by anyone under such age is unauthorized, unlicensed, and in violation of this Agreement. Additionally, through our Website, we may make available, from time to time in our sole discretion, courses on permanent cosmetics, paramedical tattoos, advanced skin care, and marketing (“Courses” and each a “Course”). Our Courses are intended only for users who have had previous hands-on training with the equipment used in a Course. Courses are intended to enhance the knowledge you already have – OUR COURSES DO NOT, AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO, REPLACE HANDS-ON TRAINING.
All procedural classes on the Girlz Ink Academy are not intended to or suggested to replace any hands-on training. The procedural classes offered on the Girlz Ink Academy are intended to be used as re-fresher courses, learning the specific techniques of the trainers featured, and/or to compliment any hands-on training previously taken. It is the responsibility of every individual to determine if he or she has received proper hands-on training.
Any and all information, videos, audio recordings, or other content provided by Girlz Ink (collectively, “Services”) is intended to enhance or supplement prior formal training in permanent makeup application and is not intended to be, nor shall it be used as, a replacement for hands-on training by certified or properly licensed trainers in your jurisdiction. Girlz Ink makes no representations or warranties or conditions (express or implied), including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We (and our affiliates, suppliers, partners, and agents) make no representations or guarantees that you will obtain specific results from use of the Services.
There are risks inherent in using our Services. For example, if you perform permanent makeup application with no prior hands-on training, you run the risk of injuring your client. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that our Services are only complementary to in-person, hands-on training and fully accept all risks and you agree that you will have no recourse to seek damages against even if you suffer loss or damage from using our platform and Services. In legal language, to the extent permitted by law, we (and our group companies, suppliers, partners, and agents) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunities, or personal injury or death), whether arising in contract, warranty, tort, product liability, or otherwise, and even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of damages in advance. Our liability (and the liability of each of our group companies, suppliers, partners, and agents) to you or any third parties under any circumstance is limited to the greater of one hundred dollars ($100) or the amount you have paid us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to your claims. Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.
