By accessing or using The Melanated Skin Registry ("MSR," "we," "us"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
MSR is a curated platform that raises the visibility of licensed professionals, brands, and educators committed to thoughtful, pigment-aware care for melanated skin. It is a professional resource and an editorial publication.
MSR is not a ranking system, a certification body, a licensing authority, or a guarantee of treatment outcomes. Inclusion, a feature, or a spotlight does not imply our endorsement of every service a professional or brand offers, and is not a warranty of results. You are responsible for independently researching any professional or brand, scheduling your own consultations, and making your own decisions about your care or purchases.
Applications and inquiries are reviewed at our discretion for alignment with the Registry's standards. We may decline, edit, or remove any listing or feature at any time. Information shown about professionals and brands is provided by them; while we review for fit, we do not independently verify every claim, and we are not responsible for their content, services, or conduct.
Paid memberships and digital products are billed through our third-party providers, subject to their terms. [State your refund, cancellation, and renewal terms here — e.g., whether memberships auto-renew, how to cancel, and your refund policy for digital downloads.] Applying or inquiring is always free.
You agree to provide accurate information and to use the site lawfully. You may not misuse the site, attempt to disrupt it, scrape or copy its contents without permission, or misrepresent your credentials or affiliation.
The Registry's name, logo, written content, design, and editorial features are owned by MSR or used with permission, and may not be copied or reused without written consent. Content you submit remains yours, but by submitting it you grant us permission to display and promote it in connection with the Registry.
The site links to external websites and services we don't control. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
The site and its content are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. Nothing on the Registry is medical advice. To the fullest extent permitted by law, MSR is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site, any listing or feature, or any professional, brand, or product you find through it.
We may update these terms from time to time; continued use means you accept the changes. [These terms are governed by the laws of your state/country — insert your governing jurisdiction.]
