5. Medical Disclaimer

6. Ingredient and Product Data

6.1 Data Sources

• The App includes a bundled catalog of skincare ingredients and products for educational reference
• Product data may include information from Open Beauty Facts, available under the Open Database License (ODbL)
• Ingredient compatibility rules are based on general cosmetic science guidelines

6.2 Accuracy

• We make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of ingredient data and compatibility rules, but we do not guarantee completeness or accuracy
• Product formulations may change without notice by manufacturers
• Barcode lookup results depend on the bundled database and may not cover all products
• Always check the actual product label for the most current ingredient information

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful, personal purposes. You may not:

• Use the App's data or reports for commercial purposes without our written consent
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code from the App
• Circumvent any access or payment controls
• Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its functionality

We may suspend or terminate your access if we believe you have violated these Terms.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, ingredient database, compatibility rules, and content, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You do not acquire any ownership rights by using the App.

Data you enter into the App (routines, diary entries, product notes, photos) remains yours. We do not claim ownership of your content.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Specifically:

• Skincare routine suggestions are generated algorithmically and may not be suitable for every individual
• Ingredient compatibility analysis is based on general rules and may not account for every possible interaction
• Barcode scanning accuracy depends on lighting conditions and barcode quality
• Skin diary trends and reports are statistical summaries, not medical assessments

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we (and our affiliates, officers, and employees) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data or profits, arising from your use of the App, reliance on its skincare guidance, or any subscription. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in such cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time for breach of these Terms. You may stop using the App at any time. Upon termination, your license to use the App ends. Since all data is stored locally on your device, you retain access to your data until you delete the App. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including sections on liability, intellectual property, medical disclaimer, and governing law) will survive termination.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms at this URL and update the "Effective Date." For material changes, we may provide notice in the App or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the App.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Germany. If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also have rights under the laws of your country of residence, including access to the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
