Terms and Conditions

1. Who you are dealing with

This website is operated by Dermal Stories LLC, 601 Lexington Ave, Suite 2000, New York, NY 10022, USA. In these terms “we”, “us” and “our” mean Dermal Stories LLC, and “you” means anyone using the site.

If you do not accept these terms, please stop using the site.

2. What this site is

Dermal Stories is a publisher. We publish articles about skin and skincare, including clearly labelled advertorials produced on behalf of advertisers. The site is provided for general information and, in the case of sponsored pages, for advertising.

We are not a retailer. We do not sell, manufacture, ship or fulfil products, we do not operate a checkout, and we never take payment from readers.

3. Advertising and sponsored content

Some or all of the content on this site is sponsored. Sponsored pages are marked with an “Advertorial” label above the headline and a disclosure block at the foot of the article. We are paid a referral fee when a visitor we send to a merchant completes a qualifying action. Full detail is set out in our Disclaimer.

4. Purchases are made with the merchant, not with us

Every purchase arising from a link on this site is a contract between you and the merchant, on the merchant's own terms of sale. That includes pricing, promotions, bundle contents, taxes, delivery, guarantees, returns and refunds.

Any price, discount, guarantee or shipping term mentioned on this site was accurate at the time of writing and is subject to change by the merchant without notice. Always confirm the current terms on the merchant's site before you order. Questions about an order must be directed to the merchant, who is the only party able to resolve them.

5. No medical or professional advice

Content on this site is not medical advice and must not be relied on as a substitute for it. Products featured are cosmetics and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Consult a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist before starting a new product if you have an existing eye or skin condition, an allergy history, or any concern about suitability. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience a reaction.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the site for any unlawful purpose, or in a way that damages, disables or overburdens it;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the site or its underlying systems;
• scrape, harvest, or systematically extract content, or use automated tools to do so;
• republish, redistribute or resell our content commercially without our written permission;
• misrepresent your identity or your affiliation with any person or organisation.

7. Intellectual property

The text, layout, design, code and compilation of this site are owned by Dermal Stories LLC or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright. The Dermal Stories name and logo are our marks. You may read, print and share individual pages for your own personal, non-commercial use, with attribution and without alteration.

Product names, product photography, brand marks and manufacturer claims belong to their respective owners and are used here to identify and describe the products discussed.

8. Third-party links

The site links to websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, their availability, their privacy practices or their treatment of you as a customer. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination site.

9. Availability and changes

We may change, suspend, or withdraw any part of the site at any time, and we may amend these terms. The version published here is the version that applies. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information on it is complete or current.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dermal Stories LLC and its officers, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of this site, from reliance on its content, or from any transaction with a third-party merchant. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify Dermal Stories LLC against any claim, loss or expense arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The state and federal courts located in New York County, New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, save where mandatory consumer protection law in your place of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.

14. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder continues in force. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding this site.
