      We grant you permission to use the Service subject to the restrictions in these Terms of Service. Your use of the Service is at your own risk, including the risk that you might be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, inaccurate, objectionable, or otherwise inappropriate.

    4. User Accounts

      You must create an account and provide certain information about yourself in order to use some of the features that are offered through the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password. You are also responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We reserve the right to close your account at any time for any or no reason. A "Personal Account" is an account for your personal, non-commercial use only. In creating a Personal Account, you agree to provide complete and accurate information about yourself. You may not impersonate someone else (e.g., adopt the identity of a celebrity or your next-door neighbor), create or use an account for anyone other than yourself, provide an email address other than your own, or create multiple Personal Accounts. If you use a pseudonym, take care to note that others may still be able to identify you if, for example, you include identifying information in your reviews, use the same account information on other sites, or allow other sites to share information about you with Beautylish. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information.

    5. Communications from Beautylish and other Users

      By creating an account, you agree to receive certain communications via e-mail, phone, or text message in connection with the Service at any e-mail address or phone number that you may have provided us. For example, you may receive our e-mail newsletter about new products, beauty tutorials and site updates or other matters that may interest you. You can opt-out of non-essential communications here.

      Beautylish may also place calls or texts to: (i) notify you regarding your account; (ii) troubleshoot problems with your account; (iii) resolve a billing dispute; (iv) collect a debt; (v) poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires; (vi) contact you with offers and promotions; or (vii) as otherwise necessary to service your account or enforce this Terms of Service, our policies, applicable law, or any other agreement we may have with you. Standard telephone minute and text charges may apply.

      Beautylish may, without further notice or warning and in its discretion, monitor or record telephone conversations you or anyone acting on your behalf with Beautylish or its agents for quality control and training purposes or for its own protection.

  4. Purchase Conditions

    1. Returns and Refunds

      Beautylish offers a convenient return policy to our customers because we want you to be completely satisfied with our goods and services. Our return policy is detailed here.

      We reserve the right to deny unfair returns and refunds for any reason. For example, these reasons may include returns: (i) for products not purchased directly from Beautylish; (ii) for products used beyond a reasonable trial amount; (iii) for products purchased for the purpose of reselling; or (iv) from customers that return an unreasonable proportion of products purchased.

      1. Canada Refunds. Beautylish is an approved CREDITS participant with the Canada Border Services Agency ("CSBA"). By ordering goods from Beautylish, you hereby authorize Landmark Trade Services, an approved customs broker in CREDITS, to act as your agent, and to transact business with the CSBA to obtain release of your merchandise, account for duties and taxes, return merchandise to Beautylish, and electronically submit refund claims on your behalf. Under the CREDITS program, you understand that the CSBA will send any refund of duties and taxes that were paid on the returned merchandise to the customs broker, and that you will obtain the refund directly from Beautylish. Further, you also authorize the customs broker to forward any refund issued by the CSBA in your name, so that Beautylish can be reimbursed.

    2. Flexible Payments

      Beautylish offers a payment plan option ("Flexible Payments") for qualified orders to eligible customers that allows customers to pay for an order in installments over a period of time. The qualification of orders and eligibility of customers is determined at the discretion of Beautylish, but considerations may include: (i) the total order amount; (ii) the credit standing of the customer with Beautylish; (iii) the ability to verify the identity of the customer; (iv) the number of outstanding Flexible Payment orders by the customer or related parties to the customer; or (v) orders purchased for the purpose of reselling products.

      The amount due and payment due date are displayed to the customer during the checkout process with Flexible Payments. Beautylish reserves the right to charge any payment method a customer may have on file, associated with any account, to settle any past due debts.

      Flexible Payments are limited to one outstanding order per customer, household, or related user at any given time. This applies even with different accounts, shipping addresses, payment methods, or billing information.

    3. Personal Use; Not for Reselling

      As a retailer, Beautylish sells merchandise for personal use only. This means orders exceeding personal use quantities, reasonable seasonal gift giving quantities, and/or vendor quantity limits will be cancelled at our discretion.

    4. Duplicate Accounts

      You are only permitted to have one registered account on Beautylish. Any customer accounts created for the specific purpose of circumventing Beautylish's per customer limit restrictions on promotions, Flexible Payments restrictions, or product quantity limits may be disabled and banned at our discretion. We reserve the right to prosecute fraudulent criminal activity to the fullest extent of the law.

    5. Delivery

      Beautylish reserves the right to require a signature to confirm delivery of an order. Should you elect to waive the signature requirement, you agree to release Beautylish and our shipping carrier from any liability in the event your order is lost, stolen, or otherwise not received.

    6. International

      The goods will be imported on behalf of the consignee/buyer. The consignee authorizes the Beautylish to import the goods on his behalf. Further, the consignee/buyer agrees that Beautylish may delegate the obligation to import the goods on his behalf to a subcontractor (e.g. customs broker). The consignee will pay the taxes & duties in addition with the purchase price of the goods.

  5. Content

    1. Responsibility for Your Content

      You alone are responsible for Your Content, and once published, it cannot always be withdrawn. You assume all risks associated with Your Content, including anyone's reliance on its quality, accuracy, or reliability, or any disclosure by you of information in Your Content that makes you personally identifiable. You represent that you own, or have the necessary permissions to use and authorize the use of Your Content as described herein. You may not imply that Your Content is in any way sponsored or endorsed by Beautylish.

      You may expose yourself to liability if, for example, Your Content contains material that is false, intentionally misleading, or defamatory; violates any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; contains material that is unlawful, including illegal hate speech or pornography; exploits or otherwise harms minors; or violates or advocates the violation of any law or regulation.

As such, you hereby irrevocably grant us world-wide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable rights to use Your Content for any purpose. You also irrevocably grant the users of the Service and any Other Media the right to access Your Content in connection with their use of the Service and any Other Media.
