Terms of Service
Effective date: October 5, 2026
1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of Top Stylists, including account tools, profile-building tools, public stylist pages, links, messaging features, billing-related features, and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account, checking the agreement box presented at enrollment, starting a trial, paying for the Service, or using the Service after notice of updated Terms, you agree to these Terms and the incorporated Privacy Policy and Subscription & Cancellation Policy.
You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to use a paid Top Stylists account.
2. What Top Stylists provides
Top Stylists provides promotional web-page and account tools for independent beauty professionals. Top Stylists is not a salon, employment agency, booking agent, payment processor for salon services, or provider of hairstyling or other beauty services.
No business-results guarantee. Top Stylists does not guarantee customer leads, appointments, revenue, search-engine ranking, social-media engagement, referrals, or any other business result.
3. Your account and information
You agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials secure, promptly update material account information, and be responsible for activity occurring through your account except to the extent caused by Top Stylists’ own failure to use reasonable security measures.
You may not share access in a way that defeats account limits, impersonate another person or business, interfere with the Service, probe or bypass security controls, use automated means to scrape or overload the Service, reverse engineer protected portions of the Service except where law expressly permits it, or use the Service for unlawful or fraudulent activity.
4. Your content and permissions
You retain ownership of content you submit, such as photographs, logos, biography text, service descriptions, pricing, testimonials, links, and business information (“Customer Content”). You grant Top Stylists a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, resize, format, display, transmit, and otherwise use Customer Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, improve, and promote your use of the Service.
You represent that you have all permissions needed to submit and publicly display Customer Content, including permissions involving copyrights, trademarks, publicity/privacy rights, model releases where applicable, and testimonials. You are responsible for the truthfulness and legality of your prices, offers, claims, business information, and Customer Content.
5. Text, referral, call, map, and third-party links
Features that open a user’s phone, SMS app, maps app, social site, portfolio, or another third-party service may depend on the user’s device and outside providers. Unless Top Stylists expressly states otherwise, a referral or message link merely opens the user’s messaging application and Top Stylists does not itself send that message.
You are responsible for ensuring that messages or marketing communications you initiate comply with applicable consent, telemarketing, anti-spam, privacy, and advertising laws. Do not use Top Stylists to send unlawful or unsolicited communications.
6. Acceptable use and suspension
You may not upload or publish content that is illegal, fraudulent, defamatory, infringing, malicious, deceptive, or that materially threatens the security or integrity of the Service. Top Stylists may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate an account when reasonably necessary to address nonpayment, suspected fraud, abuse, security risk, unlawful conduct, infringement claims, or a material violation of these Terms.
When practical and legally appropriate, Top Stylists may provide notice and an opportunity to correct a violation before termination.
7. Intellectual property and copyright complaints
The Top Stylists name, software, page templates, original graphics, design elements, documentation, and other platform materials are owned by Top Stylists or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership of the platform to you.
If you believe Customer Content infringes your rights, contact Top Stylists with enough information to identify the work, the allegedly infringing material, your contact information, and the basis of your claim. Top Stylists may remove disputed material while a claim is reviewed. Top Stylists will not claim statutory DMCA safe-harbor status unless and until all applicable requirements, including any required designated-agent registration and repeat-infringer policy, have been completed.
8. Trial, billing, renewal, and cancellation
The planned standard offer is a 30-day free trial followed by $5.20 per month, plus applicable taxes, unless you cancel before the trial ends. The subscription continues month-to-month until canceled. Material billing terms are disclosed again at enrollment. See the Subscription & Cancellation Policy for additional details.
Top Stylists will obtain affirmative consent to the recurring-payment terms before enrollment. If you enroll online, Top Stylists will provide an online method to cancel as required by applicable law.
9. Refunds
Except where required by law, charges already earned for a completed billing period are generally non-refundable. If Top Stylists determines that a billing error occurred, the ordinary refund will be limited to the amount incorrectly charged for the affected billing period or periods. This refund policy does not limit any non-waivable statutory right, card-network dispute right, or remedy that applicable law requires.
10. Availability, backups, and third-party services
The Service may depend on hosting, authentication, email, payment, domain, internet, mobile-carrier, mapping, and other third-party systems. Top Stylists will use commercially reasonable efforts to operate the Service but does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or always-available operation.
You should keep your own copies of important Customer Content. Top Stylists may maintain operational backups but does not promise that every version of Customer Content can always be restored.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TOP STYLISTS DISCLAIMS IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH A WARRANTY CANNOT LEGALLY BE DISCLAIMED.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOP STYLISTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS, LOST GOODWILL, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, OR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOP STYLISTS’ TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO TOP STYLISTS DURING THE 12 MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
The exclusions and cap above do not apply to liability that applicable law does not permit to be excluded or limited.
13. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Top Stylists and its owners, officers, contractors, and service providers from third-party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from your Customer Content, your salon or beauty services, your violation of law, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement or misuse of another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from Top Stylists’ own unlawful conduct or negligence where applicable law does not permit shifting that responsibility.
14. Force majeure
Top Stylists is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including internet or utility failures, third-party platform outages, cyberattacks despite reasonable safeguards, natural disasters, labor disruptions, governmental actions, or similar events, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
15. Changes to the Service or Terms
Top Stylists may improve or modify the Service. Material changes to these Terms, price, renewal terms, or other matters requiring notice will be communicated as required by law. The effective date shown above identifies the version of these Terms.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent another law must apply. Before filing a lawsuit, the parties are encouraged to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and reasonable informal discussion. Any mandatory venue, arbitration, jury-waiver, or class-action-waiver provision should be added only after legal review and, if added, will be presented conspicuously as required by law.
17. Severability; no waiver; assignment
If a provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent legally permitted. A failure to enforce a provision once is not a waiver of future enforcement. You may not assign your account or these Terms without Top Stylists’ consent, except where law provides otherwise. Top Stylists may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or reorganization.
