1. Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Kallign ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing, browsing, registering for, or using our website, web application, ingredient decoder, product scanner, and related beauty intelligence services (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms in their entirety, you are strictly prohibited from using the Service and must discontinue use immediately.

2. Medical & Dermatological Disclaimer (Not Medical Advice)

⚠️IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY NOTICE

Kallign provides cosmetic and chemical ingredient analysis for educational and informational purposes only. The Service does NOT provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical prescriptions.

The information, ingredient safety scores, personalized match ratings, and AI-generated insights provided by Kallign are derived from published scientific literature, chemical databases, and cosmetic regulations (including FDA, EU CosIng, CIR, and INCI taxonomies). They are not intended as substitutes for professional dermatological advice or medical consultation.

Individual biological responses to cosmetic ingredients vary significantly based on genetics, allergies, skin microbiome, micro-tears, formulation pH, and environmental factors. Always perform a patch test prior to applying new cosmetic formulations to your skin.

Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice because of something you have read, scanned, or calculated on Kallign. In the event of an acute allergic reaction, severe dermatitis, chemical irritation, or ocular exposure, seek emergency medical care immediately.

3. Age Eligibility & COPPA Compliance

The Service is designed to comply strictly with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and applicable international youth safety standards.

Visitors under 13 years of age ("Children") are required to obtain verifiable parental or legal guardian consent prior to account creation or profile data storage. We collect a parent's email address and require confirmation before establishing an under-13 profile. Under-13 profiles are restricted from open-text submissions and third-party data transfers.

If you are between the ages of 13 and 17, you represent that you have reviewed these Terms with your parent or guardian and that they consent to your use of the Service.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or breach of security.

You may permanently delete your account, saved profile parameters, and associated data at any time via the self-service 'Delete Account & Data' control in your Profile settings.

5. AI Ingredient Decoder & Scanner Limitations

Our optical character recognition (OCR) camera scanner and AI-assisted INCI decoder are assistive analytical tools. While we maintain rigorous parsing algorithms, text extraction from curved packaging, low-contrast labels, or altered product formulations may contain discrepancies.

Manufacturers frequently alter cosmetic formulations without prior notice. You are advised to verify physical product packaging ingredient lists ("INCI") against official brand documentation prior to purchase or application.
