1. ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the DermaRoutine mobile application (the “App”), website, and any related services (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms in full, you must immediately uninstall the App and cease all use of the Service.
We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes through the App or by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect, unless immediate changes are required by law or to protect the Service.

Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes, to the extent permitted by law.
These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and DermaRoutine.

3. IMPORTANT MEDICAL AND AI DISCLAIMERS
3.1 Not Medical Advice
DermaRoutine does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The analysis, scores, routines, ingredient insights, conflict notes, and product recommendations generated by the Service are based on automated image and text analysis and the information you provide. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified dermatologist, physician, or other healthcare provider.
3.2 Consult a Professional
Always seek the advice of a qualified healthcare provider for any questions you may have regarding a medical condition, severe or persistent skin concern, allergic reaction, or before starting any new skincare product or routine, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have sensitive skin, or have a known skin disorder.
3.3 No Guaranteed Results
Individual results from any skincare routine or product may vary. We do not guarantee that any product, ingredient, or routine will improve your skin, treat any condition, or produce any specific outcome.
