By accessing the website, purchasing a product, subscribing to a service, submitting information, or otherwise using SKIN, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website or services.
Important: SKIN provides startup intelligence and strategic tools. SKIN is not a law firm, accounting firm, broker-dealer, investment adviser, fundraising agent, or financial advisor.
1. About SKIN
SKIN provides startup intelligence products and services for founders and startup teams. SKIN helps users understand what is broken, what to prioritize, and how to build with better judgment through diagnostics, company health assessments, investor-readiness analysis, reports, frameworks, and related strategic tools.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use SKIN. If you use SKIN on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. No Professional Advice
SKIN services, reports, diagnostics, scores, recommendations, frameworks, and outputs are for informational, educational, and internal business purposes only.
Nothing provided by SKIN should be interpreted as legal, tax, accounting, securities, investment, financial, or fundraising advice. You are responsible for making your own business decisions and consulting qualified professionals where appropriate.
4. No Guarantee of Results
SKIN may provide scores, diagnostics, recommendations, investor-readiness analysis, company health signals, prioritization frameworks, or other outputs. These outputs are directional and judgment-based.
SKIN does not guarantee that you will raise capital, secure investor meetings, obtain customers, improve performance, increase revenue, receive investment, avoid business failure, or achieve any specific business outcome.
5. Products, Purchases, Subscriptions, and Billing
SKIN may offer one-time products, subscriptions, trials, discounted offers, custom services, advisory services, or enterprise products. Product descriptions and pricing may change at any time.
Payments may be processed by third-party providers such as Stripe. By purchasing a product or subscription, you agree to provide accurate billing information and authorize the applicable charges.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled before the next billing period. You are responsible for managing cancellations through the available billing flow or by contacting us at dom@skin.global.
Unless otherwise stated in writing or required by law, payments are non-refundable once a digital product has been delivered, a report has been generated, work has started, or a subscription period has begun.
6. Submitted Materials
You may submit startup materials, founder information, pitch decks, business descriptions, financial assumptions, traction data, fundraising information, customer information, product information, or other company materials.
You retain ownership of your submitted materials. You grant SKIN a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, process, reproduce, modify, analyze, and display submitted materials solely as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, improve, support, and develop SKIN products and services.
You represent and warrant that your submitted materials are accurate to the best of your knowledge, that you have the right to submit them, and that they do not violate any law, contract, confidentiality obligation, intellectual property right, privacy right, or other third-party right.
7. Confidentiality
SKIN takes founder and company information seriously and uses reasonable safeguards to protect submitted materials. However, unless SKIN has signed a separate written NDA or confidentiality agreement with you, your submission is governed by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Do not submit highly sensitive, regulated, classified, or confidential third-party information unless you are authorized to do so.
8. AI, Automation, and Generated Outputs
SKIN may use artificial intelligence, automation, structured frameworks, data models, internal review processes, and third-party technology providers to analyze information and generate reports, diagnostics, scores, recommendations, prioritization frameworks, company health signals, investor-readiness analysis, and other outputs.
You understand that AI-assisted and automated outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or not suitable for your specific circumstances. You are responsible for independently reviewing and validating any output before relying on it or sharing it with third parties.
