Terms of Use

Effective date: [effective date] · Last updated: [date]

Welcome. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of [website URL] (the "Site"), operated by [business name — e.g. Makeup x Samantha] ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

These Terms cover use of the website only. The specific terms of any makeup service you book — pricing, deposits, cancellation, what's included — are set out in the separate service agreement / contract you sign when you book, and in our Disclaimer & Policies. If anything here conflicts with your signed booking contract, the signed contract controls for that booking.

01Who we are & what the Site is for

The Site presents our makeup artistry services — bridal makeup, makeup application, and one-on-one lessons — and lets you send a booking inquiry. The Site is for general information and to start a conversation. Sending an inquiry does not create a booking; a booking is confirmed only after we agree on details and you complete our booking process.

02Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or have a parent or guardian's permission and involvement) to submit an inquiry or book a service. By using the Site, you confirm the information you provide is accurate and that you are allowed to provide it.

03Acceptable use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

04Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, photographs, portfolio images, the brand name and logo, design, and layout — is owned by us or used with permission, and is protected by copyright and other laws. The portfolio photographs of our work are ours and may not be copied, reposted, or used without our written permission. You may view and share links to the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes only.

05Bookings, pricing & payments

Prices shown on the Site are starting points and may change. Your final quote depends on your date, party size, location, and services. The terms that apply to your booking — including any non-refundable deposit/retainer, cancellation and rescheduling policy, and balance due — are set out in the booking contract you sign and in our Disclaimer & Policies. Please read them before you book.

06Third-party links & tools

The Site may link to third-party services (for example, social media, or a booking/contract platform such as [e.g. Honeybook]). We don't control those services and aren't responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

07Disclaimers

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Information on the Site is for general purposes and is not a guarantee of any specific result or outcome.

08Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, [business name] and its owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site. To the extent any liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, for the service to which the claim relates.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable Michigan or federal law.

09Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [business name] and its owner from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.

10Governing law & venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to the Site or these Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in [county — e.g. Wayne County], Michigan, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

11Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
