Governing Law: Australia (Victoria)
By downloading, installing, or using the BeautyBrief application (the "Application"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Application.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the developer of BeautyBrief ("we", "us", or "our"). These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Application following notification of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. See Section 15 for further details.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Application. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age (or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the Application with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
By using the Application, you represent and warrant that you meet the eligibility requirements set out above and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
BeautyBrief is a consumer informational tool designed to assist Users in reviewing cosmetic and personal care product ingredients. The Application is not:
Nothing in the Application, including any safety score, allergen flag, pregnancy caution, skin type recommendation, or ingredient risk assessment, constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You must not rely on the Application to manage or diagnose a medical condition, allergy, or skin disorder. Always consult a qualified medical professional before making any health-related decision.
The terms "safe", "unsafe", "caution", and similar expressions used within the Application are informational labels based on publicly available ingredient data and general consumer safety research. They do not constitute clinical determinations and may not reflect your individual medical circumstances.
The Application retrieves Ingredient Data from multiple third-party databases, open-source repositories, and web sources. We do not independently verify, curate, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency, or fitness for purpose of any Ingredient Data displayed by the Application.
In particular, and without limitation:
You are solely responsible for independently verifying all ingredient information directly from product packaging or the relevant manufacturer before making any purchasing, health, or medical decision based on information provided by the Application. We expressly disclaim all liability for any loss, damage, injury, allergic reaction, or adverse health event arising from reliance on Ingredient Data provided by the Application.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, limited licence to download and use the Application on Apple iOS devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
This licence does not permit you to:
All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved. The Application is licensed, not sold.

By submitting Community Content, you grant us and Apple (as operator of the CloudKit infrastructure) a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to store, display, and make available that content to other users of the Application, for the purpose of operating and providing the Community feature. This licence terminates when the content is deleted in accordance with Section 8.5.
You must not submit Community Content that:
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to review, edit, remove, or restrict access to any Community Content that we determine — or that is reported to us as — violating Section 8.3, these Terms, or any applicable law. We are not obligated to monitor Community Content on a continuous basis. The exercise of or failure to exercise our moderation rights does not create any duty of care or liability on our part with respect to Community Content we do not remove.
To report prohibited Community Content, contact us at beautybriefapp@gmail.com.
You may request deletion of your Community Content at any time by contacting us at beautybriefapp@gmail.com. We will arrange removal from active public display within fourteen (14) calendar days of a verified request. Residual copies may temporarily persist in CloudKit infrastructure-level backups maintained by Apple and are subject to Apple's own data management practices. We cannot guarantee the removal of copies made by other users prior to deletion.
Community Content represents the personal opinions of individual users only. We do not verify, endorse, or warrant the accuracy of any Community Content. You should not rely on Community Content as medical, dermatological, or professional advice of any kind.
The Application, including its design, code, branding, graphics, and all content created by the developer, is owned by or licensed to the developer and is protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership of intellectual property to you.
Community Content that you submit remains your intellectual property, subject to the licence granted in Section 8.2.
The Application retrieves ingredient and product data from third-party databases. Such data is the property of the respective third parties and is governed by their respective terms and licences. We do not claim ownership of third-party product data.
The Application integrates with third-party services to provide product lookup, image recognition, community storage, and developer notification functions. These third-party services are operated independently and are subject to their own terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party service.
Your use of the Application constitutes your acknowledgment that third-party services may be subject to outages, rate limits, or changes that affect the Application's functionality, and that we are not liable for any resulting degradation of service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Application is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.
We expressly disclaim all implied warranties, including without limitation:
Nothing in this Section excludes warranties that cannot be lawfully excluded under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable mandatory legislation. See Section 18.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the developer, its licensors, or service providers be liable for any:
Nothing in this Section excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by the developer's own negligence, to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer's aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or the Application, regardless of the form of the action, shall not exceed the greater of AUD $10.00 or the amount you paid to download or access the Application in the twelve (12) months preceding the relevant claim.
Nothing in this Section limits or excludes liability that cannot be lawfully excluded or capped under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable mandatory legislation. See Section 18.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the developer and its officers, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
We reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to Community features of the Application, with or without notice, if we reasonably determine that you have violated these Terms, applicable law, or the rights of any third party.
You may cease using the Application at any time by deleting it from your device. Sections 4, 5, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, and 19 of these Terms shall survive any termination or expiration.
We reserve the right to modify, update, suspend, or discontinue the Application or any part thereof at any time and without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Application.
We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. Material amendments will be communicated by updating the effective date above and, where practicable, by displaying an in-application notice. Your continued use of the Application following notification of a material amendment constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept the revised Terms, you must cease using the Application.
Your use of the Application is subject to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and describes how your information is handled in connection with the Application.
The Application does not require users to create a traditional user account. There is no registration process, username and password system, or persistent account managed by the developer. If you use the Community feature, you select a display name and avatar at the time of posting only. This display name is not linked to a verified identity and does not constitute an account in the sense typically associated with online services.
Because there is no account system, there is no formal account deletion workflow. To remove local data from your device, delete the Application. To request removal of community posts you have published, contact us at beautybriefapp@gmail.com as described in the Privacy Policy.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of the Application to do the same. If you believe that any Community Content infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please submit a written complaint to us at beautybriefapp@gmail.com containing:
We will review complaints in good faith and will remove infringing Community Content where we determine infringement has occurred. We reserve the right to remove content and restrict access to Community features for repeat infringers.
The Application is subject to export control laws and regulations, including those of Australia and potentially those of other jurisdictions. You must not use, export, re-export, or transfer the Application in violation of any applicable export control laws or regulations, including to any person or entity that is subject to applicable trade sanctions or export restrictions. By using the Application, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, or a national or resident of, any country that is subject to comprehensive Australian, United Nations, or applicable international sanctions, and that you are not listed on any applicable government sanctions list.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria, Australia, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Application that cannot be resolved by good-faith negotiation shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, Australia, except to the extent that mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction confer exclusive jurisdiction on local courts.
If you are resident in the EEA, nothing in this clause limits your right to bring proceedings before the courts of your country of residence under applicable mandatory consumer protection legislation.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)) that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If the Australian Consumer Law applies, our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited, to the extent permitted by law, to resupplying the services or paying the cost of having the services resupplied.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The parties agree that the court should endeavour to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in any severed provision to the maximum extent possible.
