SkinLogic Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 14, 2026 Last Updated: May 14, 2026
1. Binding Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding contract between you and Stefano Anania, an individual sole proprietor based in California, United States, doing business as "SkinLogic" ("we," "us," "our," "SkinLogic").
These Terms apply whenever you download, install, access, or use the SkinLogic mobile application, the skinlogicapp.com website, and any related services we provide (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.
We may update the Services automatically, and these Terms will apply to those updates.
These Terms have been adapted from the Cloudup Terms of Service published by Automattic, Inc. under a Creative Commons Sharealike 4.0 license.
2. What SkinLogic Is
SkinLogic is an iOS application that helps you understand your skin, track your skincare routine, learn about ingredients and treatments, and build personalized skincare plans. The Services include:
- A skincare routine generator and tracker
- An ingredient and product analyzer (including barcode and product-label scanning)
- An ingredient reference library ("Lab")
- An educational module ("Academy") covering skincare science
- A vault for tracking progress photos and check-ins
- Treatment and device protocols (for example, LED therapy, microneedling, microcurrent, chemical peels) presented as educational reference content
3. Medical Disclaimer — What SkinLogic Is Not
SkinLogic is an educational and skin-tracking application. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
The information provided through the Services — including ingredient ratings, routine recommendations, treatment protocol descriptions, pregnancy-related guidance, Academy lessons, and any other educational content — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
SkinLogic is not a medical device under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's general wellness guidance (21 CFR 801) or under the European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU 2017/745).
Always consult a licensed dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional for any medical concern about your skin, including but not limited to: persistent acne, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, hyperpigmentation, suspicious moles or lesions, skin cancer screening, prescription medications, in-office procedures, or any condition that does not improve with general skincare. Do not delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you read or saw in the Services.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, or have any underlying medical condition, you should consult your OB-GYN or other qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your skincare routine based on information in the Services.
You use the Services at your own risk and are solely responsible for any decisions you make about your skincare or health.
4. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Services, you also agree to our Privacy Policy.
5. Age Restriction
The Services are intended only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from or provide the Services to anyone under 18. If we learn that someone under 18 has provided us with information, we will delete that information.
6. Your Account, Profile Information, and Data
SkinLogic does not require you to create an account. The information you provide during onboarding and through ongoing use (such as your name, age, skin type, Fitzpatrick phototype, skin concerns, makeup habits, facial hair, retinol sensitivity, pregnancy and lactation information, location, progress photos, check-ins, and routine adherence) is stored locally on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, synced to your private iCloud account managed by Apple. SkinLogic's developer does not receive, store, or have access to a server-side copy of this information.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for safeguarding the device and Apple ID through which you access the Services.
7. Fees, Payment, and Purchases
a. Free and Paid Features
Some features of SkinLogic are available without payment ("Free Features"). Other features are available only through a one-time in-app purchase or future optional add-on purchases (collectively, "Paid Features").
b. Currently Available Paid Features
As of the effective date of these Terms, the available paid feature is:
- SkinLogic Pro (Lifetime) — a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase that unlocks all current premium features for the device's Apple ID.
c. Future Add-Ons
We may, from time to time, offer additional one-time or consumable in-app purchases that unlock specific new features, ingredient databases, treatment modules, or other functionality ("Add-Ons"). When an Add-On is offered, its price, scope, and terms will be disclosed at the point of purchase through the App Store. Purchasing an Add-On is optional and does not affect access to previously purchased Paid Features.
d. App Store Processing
All payments are processed by Apple, Inc. through the Apple App Store under Apple's standard payment terms. SkinLogic's developer does not collect, store, or process your payment information. By making a purchase, you also agree to Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions.
e. Refunds
All sales are final. SkinLogic's developer does not process refunds. If you would like to request a refund, you must do so through Apple's standard App Store refund process. Apple's refund decisions are made at Apple's sole discretion under Apple's policies. You can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com.
f. Price Changes
We may change the prices of Paid Features or Add-Ons at any time. Price changes do not affect purchases you have already completed.
g. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement
Your use of the iOS application is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, which Apple provides as the default end user license agreement for App Store applications. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement, Apple's agreement governs the technical aspects of your use of the App Store (such as Apple's responsibility for the App Store environment, intellectual property maintenance, and product support), and these Terms govern the rest.
8. Your Content
Some Services may allow you to create content within SkinLogic — for example, progress photos in your vault, journal-style check-ins, custom routine notes, or product information you enter manually ("Your Content"). Your Content is yours. SkinLogic's developer does not claim ownership of Your Content.
Because Your Content is stored locally on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your private iCloud container, SkinLogic's developer does not have access to Your Content and cannot view, copy, transmit, or distribute it. You are solely responsible for backing up Your Content through Apple's standard iCloud and device backup mechanisms.
9. Acceptable Use
You agree that, in using the Services, you will not:
- Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in furtherance of illegal activities
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Services, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law
- Use the Services to make medical decisions without consulting a qualified healthcare professional
- Use any automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or interact with the Services
- Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Services, the App Store, or any third-party service used by SkinLogic
- Use the Services to harm yourself or others, including by attempting to perform at-home medical or invasive procedures that the Services describe in educational terms
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services without our prior written consent
- Use the Services in any way that could expose us or third parties to legal liability
10. Intellectual Property
a. Our Intellectual Property
The Services and all of their original materials — including the SkinLogic application's source code, design, layout, original written copy, lesson content, ingredient evaluation methodology, illustrations, and the "SkinLogic" name and logo as applied to mobile software (Class 9) and educational services (Class 41) — are the intellectual property of Stefano Anania ("SkinLogic Materials") and are protected by U.S. and international intellectual property laws.
You are granted a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the SkinLogic Materials solely for your personal, non-commercial use of the Services in accordance with these Terms.
b. Acknowledgment of Third-Party Marks
The name "SkinLogic" has been or may currently be used by other parties in other product categories (such as cosmetics, skincare products, or other consumer goods). Our trademark claim is limited to the use of the name in connection with mobile software applications and educational services, and we make no claim to the name in other product categories. If you believe our use of any mark infringes your rights, please contact us at hello@skinlogicapp.com.
c. Third-Party Trademarks
Other names, marks, and logos appearing in the Services may be the trademarks of their respective owners. Use of the Services does not grant you any right or license to use any third-party trademarks.
11. Third-Party Services
The Services connect to or rely on the following third-party services to function:
- Apple, Inc. — App Store distribution, in-app purchase processing, StoreKit, CloudKit, iCloud, the Photos framework, and DeviceCheck / App Attest (used for Firebase App Check attestation)
- Google LLC — operates the Firebase platform we use for two purposes: (a) Firebase Cloud Functions, which proxies your product-label scan images to Google Cloud Vision for text recognition without embedding API credentials in the app, and (b) Firebase App Check, which verifies that requests to our Functions proxy come from a genuine SkinLogic installation. Image text recognition happens via Google Cloud Vision API, called server-side from the Functions proxy. Your use of these features is also subject to Google Cloud's terms and Firebase's terms.
- Open Food Facts Association (non-profit, France) — Open Beauty Facts public database, used to look up product information from barcode scans
- Open-Meteo (Pascal Luginbühl, Switzerland) — Open-Meteo public API, used to retrieve weather and climate baseline information for routine calibration
- Amazon.com, Inc. — Amazon's public image content delivery network, used to display product images for recommended items in "Our Picks." SkinLogic currently retrieves these images directly from Amazon's public CDN; migration to Amazon's official Product Advertising API or to first-party image hosting is planned.
Your use of features that depend on these third-party services is also subject to those providers' terms and privacy policies. We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for the practices of third-party services beyond their integration with SkinLogic, except as set out in our Privacy Policy.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Services are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from a course of dealing, usage, or trade practice.
Without limiting the foregoing, SkinLogic's developer makes no warranty that:
- The Services will meet your requirements or expectations
- The Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
- The information, recommendations, or content provided through the Services will be accurate, reliable, complete, or applicable to your specific situation
- Any defects in the Services will be corrected
- The Services will produce any particular result, including any improvement in skin appearance, condition, or health
- Any treatment, ingredient, or product referenced in the Services will be safe or effective for you
You acknowledge that the Services provide general informational content based on dermatology and cosmetic-science consensus at the time of publication, and that individual results vary based on factors outside SkinLogic's knowledge or control.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SkinLogic's developer (Stefano Anania) shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including, without limitation, damages for personal injury, loss of profits, loss of data, loss of goodwill, business interruption, or any other intangible loss, arising out of or relating to:
- Your use of, or inability to use, the Services
- Any reliance you place on information, recommendations, or content provided through the Services
- Any skin reaction, irritation, injury, or adverse outcome you experience as a result of products, ingredients, treatments, or procedures discussed in or recommended by the Services
- Any decision you make about medical care based on information in the Services
- Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data, including data stored in iCloud
- Any conduct or content of any third party on the Services or any third-party service
As a condition of access to the Services, you agree that SkinLogic's developer's total cumulative liability to you for any and all claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid SkinLogic in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $50.00.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stefano Anania, and his agents, contractors, and licensors, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use of the Services
- Your violation of these Terms
- Your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right
- Any decision you make about your skin or health based on information in the Services
- Any harm you cause to yourself or others through attempts to perform at-home procedures described in the Services as educational content
We may, at our sole option, assume control of the defense and settlement of any claim subject to indemnification. You agree not to settle any such claim without our prior written consent.
15. Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
a. Agreement to Arbitrate
You and SkinLogic's developer agree to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services ("Dispute") through final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, except as set out in Section 15(c) below.
b. Arbitration Procedure
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you reside, or, at your option, in San Francisco County, California, or by telephone or videoconference. The arbitration will be conducted in English. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. SkinLogic's developer will pay all arbitration filing fees up to USD $1,500. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees, except as provided by applicable law or the arbitrator's award.
c. Exceptions
The following Disputes are not subject to arbitration and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction:
- Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief
- Claims regarding intellectual property rights
- Small claims that qualify for a small claims court in your jurisdiction
d. Class Action Waiver
YOU AND SKINLOGIC'S DEVELOPER AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not permitted.
e. 30-Day Opt-Out
You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver by sending a written notice of your decision to opt out to hello@skinlogicapp.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, you will retain the right to bring claims in court, but other Terms (including the Limitation of Liability) continue to apply.
16. Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time. You may also delete the SkinLogic application from your device and, if applicable, delete the SkinLogic data from your iCloud account at any time.
We reserve the right to suspend or end the Services, or your access to them, at any time at our discretion, with or without cause, and with or without notice. For example, we may suspend or terminate your access if we believe you have violated these Terms or used the Services in a manner that could cause legal liability or harm to you or others.
The following sections survive termination of these Terms: 3 (Medical Disclaimer), 10 (Intellectual Property), 12 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), 15 (Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver), 17 (Governing Law), and 19 (Miscellaneous).
17. Governing Law
These Terms, and any Dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Services, are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, and excluding the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to the Arbitration Agreement in Section 15, the exclusive venue for any Dispute that may be brought in court is the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
If you are a consumer in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, this clause does not affect your rights as a consumer to rely on the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
18. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time — for example, to reflect changes to the Services, changes in applicable law, or new features. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms and provide additional notice through the Services (for example, an in-app prompt) before the change takes effect.
Your continued use of the Services after a change to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using the Services.
Any Dispute that arose before a change to these Terms is governed by the Terms that were in effect at the time the Dispute arose, including the Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver that were then in effect.
19. Miscellaneous
Entire Agreement. These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms that apply to a specific feature) constitute the entire agreement between you and SkinLogic's developer concerning the Services and supersede any prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without your consent — for example, in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
Notices. We may provide notices to you through the Services (for example, by in-app message) or by email if you have provided one to us. You may provide notices to us at hello@skinlogicapp.com.
Force Majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations under these Terms due to causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, pandemic, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, or third-party service outages (including App Store, iCloud, or any service listed in Section 11).
Language. These Terms were originally written in English. If we provide translations, the English version governs in case of conflict.
