These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Inches website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Inches is — and is not

Inches is an editorial publication and information service that aggregates and reports on publicly available data about the hair-extension industry. Inches is not a marketplace, retailer, certification body, broker, agent, or seller of hair products. Inches is not affiliated with Amazon.com, Inc., any vendor referenced on the Service, or any individual referenced on the Service.

2. No warranty; informational only

All content on the Service — including but not limited to vendor signal reports, sourcing observations, celebrity-vendor associations, promo-code listings, lead directories, price comparisons, and methodology descriptions — is provided "as is" and "as available" for informational purposes only. Inches makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of any content. You agree to independently verify any information before relying on it.

3. Editorial nature of signals and reports

Vendor signal reports, "storefront-vs-claim" comparisons, photo-overlap observations, review-velocity flags, and similar features are automated editorial observations drawn from publicly available data. They are not assertions of fraud, misconduct, or any other unlawful behavior, and should not be read as such. Where the Service surfaces a difference between a listing's stated origin and a storefront's stated address, that observation reflects only what is publicly displayed and is not a finding about the seller's intent or conduct.

4. Celebrity and stylist references

References to public figures, performers, stylists, or other named individuals appear in connection with editorial reporting on publicly documented hair sourcing and styling. No such individual has endorsed, sponsored, or reviewed Inches or its findings, and no endorsement is implied. All names, marks, and likenesses are the property of their respective owners.

5. Account and Pro subscription

Some features ("Inches Pro") require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annual, as selected at checkout) and renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel at any time from your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and you retain Pro access until that date. Trial periods, if offered, automatically convert to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends.

All fees are in U.S. dollars and are non-refundable except where required by applicable law. We may change subscription pricing on prospective renewals with at least 30 days' notice.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to harass, defame, or threaten any person or business;
• Scrape, copy, or republish substantial portions of the Service without written permission;
• Misrepresent any data on the Service as a verified finding of misconduct;
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.

7. Intellectual property

Inches and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in the Service, including all software, design, text, graphics, and compilations. Third-party trademarks, brand names, logos, and product images appearing on the Service are the property of their respective owners and are used for editorial identification and reporting under applicable nominative-fair-use principles.

8. Takedown and corrections

If you are a vendor, public figure, or other interested party and you believe information on the Service is materially inaccurate or infringes your rights, please contact us at the address on our corrections & legal contact page. Copyright complaints are governed by our DMCA policy.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Inches and its operators, employees, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising from or related to your use of the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid Inches in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) US$50.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Inches harmless from any claim arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your republication of Service content in a manner that misrepresents its editorial nature.

11. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, seated in Clark County, Nevada. You and Inches waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in any class action.

12. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the Service. Your continued use after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance.
