Terms & Conditions
1. What This Site Is — and Is Not
me-o.com is a beauty publisher that publishes generic content related to beauty and cosmetics for informational and educational purposes only. We may feature or highlights trending beauty, cosmetic, skincare, haircare, and related products and may include affiliate links that allow us to earn a commission if a visitor makes a purchase through those links at no additional cost to visitors. We do not publish reviews, comparisons, guides, and recommendations about cosmetics, skincare, haircare, and beauty tools.
We do not sell products. We do not manufacture, formulate, stock, ship, warrant, or service anything.
When you click through to a retailer, you leave this Site, and your purchase is a contract between you and that retailer, governed by their terms, pricing, warranty, returns, and privacy policy — not ours.
Our compensation arrangements are described in our Affiliate Disclosure, which is incorporated into these Terms.
2. Not Professional Advice
Content on the Site is general information about beauty and personal-care products. It is not medical, dermatological, or professional advice, and does not create a practitioner–client relationship.
Consult a qualified healthcare provider before acting on anything you read here, particularly regarding active ingredients, sun protection, at-home devices, ingestible products, existing skin conditions, medication interactions, or pregnancy.
In an emergency, call 911 or your country's emergency no.
The full disclaimer is in our Affiliate Disclosure & Beauty Product Disclaimer, incorporated here.
You use products, follow routines, and operate devices at your own risk.

4. Chnages to These Terms
We may update these Terms. We will post the revised version with a new "Last Updated" date, and for material changes we will provide notice by [banner and/or email] at least [7] days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms. If you don't, stop using the Site. Changes will not apply retroactively to a dispute already arisen.

We do not require positive reviews, we do not offer incentives conditioned on the sentiment of a review, and we do not remove or suppress negative reviews to skew the overall impression. Any provision purporting to do otherwise would be void under the Consumer Review Fairness Act.
c) Licence you grant us: You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, display, and distribute your User Content on the Site and in connection with promoting it, for as long as you keep it posted and for a reasonable period afterwards.

e) Disclosure of material connections: If you have any material connection to a product or brand you write about — you work for them, were paid, received the product free, got a discount for posting, or are related to someone who did — you must disclose it in your post. This is required by the FTC's Endorsement Guides, and undisclosed connections are grounds for removal.

9. Third Party Links & Retailers
The Site links to third-party retailers, brand sites, and other resources.
We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products, pricing, availability, authenticity, security, or privacy practices.
A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination site.
All order issues — delivery, damage, defects, refunds, warranty claims, billing, subscriptions and cancellations — must be taken up with the retailer directly. We cannot resolve them for you and have no authority over them.
Prices, shades, formulations, and availability shown on the Site were accurate when published and may have changed.
Verify on the retailer's own page before purchasing.

11. Newsletters & Emails

12. Disclaimers & Warranties
THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; that content is accurate, complete, or current; that products described will suit your skin, hair, or circumstances; or that any result described will be achieved by you.
We make no warranty regarding any product sold by a third party. Product warranties, if any, come from the manufacturer, brand or retailer.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, met-o.com AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content — including personal injury or adverse reaction from any product or device referenced here — whether based in contract, tort, or otherwise, and even if we were advised of the possibility.
Our total aggregate liability for all claims will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the [12] months before the claim, or (b) [USD $100].
Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where such limitation is prohibited. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so parts may not apply to you.
14. Dispute Resolution
a) Informal resolution first: Before starting any proceeding, contact us at contact@met-o.com with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought. We will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days. This step is a precondition to arbitration.
b) Arbitration agreement: If we can't resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, administered under its consumer rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs.
c) Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either may seek injunctive relief for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
d) Class action waiver: Claims must be brought individually. You and we waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a claim, that claim proceeds in court.
e) Your right to opt out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing with your name and a statement that you opt out. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms and will not be held against you.
f) Severability: If any part of this section is unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless met-o.com and its officers, employees, and contractors from any claims, damages, and reasonable legal fees arising from your breach of these Terms, your User Content, your misuse of the Site, or your violation of any law or third-party right. We may assume the defence of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.
