We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, with notice to users.
Article 2: General Acceptance
Glamic operates the Site as both a marketplace and a SaaS platform. The marketplace connects you with a network (collectively with the Site, the “Service”) of independent beauty, health, and wellness professionals (“Glamic Providers”) who may offer their services and other related products to you. The SaaS platform offers tools and features to help these providers manage their businesses efficiently. You may utilize the Service for purposes of booking Glamic Providers for the provision of beauty, health, and wellness services (the “Treatments”) or for managing your service offerings if you are a provider.
You acknowledge and agree that the Service constitutes a technology platform that enables users of the Site to arrange and schedule Treatments with independent third-party providers and that all Glamic Providers are independent third-party contractors who are not employees of Glamic. Glamic encourages Glamic Providers to have and maintain applicable professional liability insurance; however, you acknowledge and agree that Glamic does not require them to do so. Glamic does not employ or control the Glamic Providers and as such we do not determine certain details such as the quality, timing, legality, or availability of Treatments. When you book a Treatment through the Service you are booking with the Glamic Provider, and our third-party payment processor will be handling the transaction and collecting the payment for your Treatment.
We have the right, in our sole discretion, to add to, remove, modify, or otherwise change any part of these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time. If we exercise this right, the “Last Updated” notice at the top of this document shall be amended to reflect the last date of such changes. Changes will be effective as of the date the changes to these Terms are posted to the Site or the App or otherwise communicated to you via email. It is your responsibility to check these Terms each time you access or use the Services to determine whether any changes have been made, including by checking the date of the “Last Update” at the top of these Terms. If any change to these Terms is not acceptable to you, you must discontinue your use of the Service immediately. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes are posted will constitute acceptance of those changes. These Terms apply exclusively to your use of the Service and do not alter the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with us.
We may, at any time without notice or liability, and for any reason whatsoever, terminate, change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service, including: (i) changing the availability of, restricting access to, or imposing limits on any or all features or services on, or links to, this Service; (ii) removing, adding, modifying or otherwise changing any fees or charges arising out of use of this Service or any features of this Service; and (iii) removing, adding, modifying or otherwise changing any Content on this Service. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to correct any errors or omissions in any portion of this Service at any time without notice but confirm that we have no duty to do so. You acknowledge that certain features of the Service may require you to agree to additional terms and conditions as applicable therein. If you do not agree to abide by such additional terms and conditions, you may not be able to use the additional features of the Service.

Article 4: Glamic Member Registration
In order to use the Service, you must complete the Glamic member registration process on the Site or the App. Each person who completes the registration steps set out on the App or Site may, at our sole discretion, become a Glamic member (“Glamic Member”) subject to the following:
Completeness and Accuracy: You must provide complete and accurate information to us and notify us if your information changes. Creating a username and password and/or submitting registration information does not guarantee that you will be granted membership to use the Service. Any personal information which Glamic collects via this Service is subject to our privacy statement available at https://glamic.com/privacy-policy (“Privacy Statement”). You hereby acknowledge that the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information pursuant to the Privacy Statement is for reasonable and appropriate purposes and is done with your knowledge and consent.
Password Protection: You may not share your username or password with any other person. You are responsible for all activity occurring under your Glamic Member account and shall abide by all applicable local, state, provincial, national, and foreign laws, treaties, and regulations in connection with the use of the Service. You shall: (A) notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of any password or Glamic Member account or any other known or suspected breach of security; and (B) not impersonate another person or provide false identity information to gain access to or use the Service. Without limitation, we may immediately remove or suspend any Glamic Member account that falls, or is suspected of falling, under the scope of the foregoing paragraphs (A) or (B).
Unauthorized Use: If you become aware of unauthorized access to your account, or ought to have become aware of such access, you must change your password and notify us immediately. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your password, and you will remain liable for any use of this Service to the extent permitted by law.
Standards of Use: You must not use this Service in any manner that is unlawful (including by accessing this Service from any location where such access may be illegal or prohibited), unethical, indecent, offensive, defamatory, derogatory, fraudulent, deceptive, harmful, abusive, threatening, vulgar, profane, pornographic, obscene, sexually explicit, sexist, racist, hateful, offensive, harassing, invasive of the privacy or publicity rights of others (this includes the posting of any materials that depict, encourage, indicate, advocate or tend to incite any such conduct), or is otherwise objectionable or which does not respect the legal rights and interests of others.
Article 5: Treatments
Requesting Treatments: A Glamic Member may use the Service to send a request to have a particular Treatment provided (a “Request”). Such Requests must be clearly worded, correctly provide for the relevant category of Treatment, indicate your preferred date and time to receive the Treatment, indicate three (3) alternative dates and times to receive the Treatment, the availability of parking at the Premises (as defined below), and include a fair and accurate description of the Treatments to be provided. Although Glamic Providers attempt to accommodate your preferred date and time, they may, at their discretion, select any of the preferred or alternative times in order to make the Treatment available to you. When making a Request, the Glamic Member is solely responsible for confirming the accuracy of all information provided, including the Treatment requested and the location at which the Glamic Member will receive such Treatment (the “Premises”).
Appointment Confirmation: As a Glamic Member, you understand and agree that your Request is one which a Glamic Provider has the ability to accept or reject in their sole discretion. Once a Glamic Provider has accepted your Request (a “Confirmed Appointment”), cancellation shall be made only in accordance with the provider’s cancellation policy, which can be found on the provider’s profile on the Glamic marketplace, the provider’s website, and in the booking confirmation. By making a booking, you agree and accept all provider policies and waivers, including the cancellation policy. You understand that once a Glamic Provider accepts your Request and a Confirmed Appointment has thus been made, the provider will notify you with basic information about the Glamic Provider, which may include the Glamic Provider’s name, expertise, and estimated time of arrival.
Fees and Payment: The fees, including any cancellation fees and referral fees paid to Glamic, are set by the applicable Glamic Provider and listed on the Site (“Fees”). Fees do not include applicable sales taxes. To the extent the Fees are deemed under applicable legislation to be inclusive of sales taxes, the Fees shall be increased accordingly so that the amount of the Fees charged to you by Glamic Providers net of applicable sales taxes shall equal the amount of the Fees as calculated as if the tax deeming rule did not apply. Glamic Providers may, upon notice to Glamic, change the Fees. Changes in Fees are only applicable to Requests sent by a Glamic Member after the change in Fees is posted to the Site. If you wish to provide a tip to your Glamic Provider, you may do so at the time of your Treatment in cash or via the Site within 48 hours of your Treatment.
Responsibility for Payment: Glamic Members will be invoiced and charged the applicable Fees promptly following the completion of the Treatment. Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable unless otherwise determined by the Glamic Provider. Upon the receipt of your invoice, you agree to pay to the Glamic Provider all amounts owed thereunder (including any Fees plus applicable taxes), whether or not you dispute the amount of the charge or the quality or nature of the Treatment or Treatments provided. You agree that the third-party payment processor on our behalf may obtain a credit card authorization for your credit card on file with Glamic to cover the cost of Treatments at the moment your booking request is confirmed, and your card will be charged with the Fees, any other applicable fees, taxes, and tips as soon as Treatments are completed.
Cancellation and Lateness: Glamic Members should provide as much advance cancellation notice as possible in connection with any Confirmed Appointments. Any cancellation of or lateness to a Confirmed Appointment will be subject to and addressed in accordance with the provider’s cancellation policy as outlined on the provider’s profile, the provider’s website, and in the booking confirmation.
Disputes with Glamic Providers: Any dispute or controversy between you and a Glamic Provider shall be settled directly between you and the Glamic Provider in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, policies, principles, standards of practice, and code of ethics as outlined by the applicable governing bodies of such Glamic Providers.
Complaints Process: All complaints must be formally submitted to the provider through the means specified on their profile or website. For detailed information on how to submit a complaint and the terms that apply to your specific Treatment please refer to the provider’s policies.
Article 6: SaaS Platform for Providers
Service Management: Glamic Providers can utilize the SaaS platform to manage their service offerings, including scheduling, payment processing, and customer communication.

In addition to the Subscription Fees, Glamic charges a processing fee for appointments booked using the Services. Glamic retains a share of the cost of the first appointment for new clients that Glamic drives to you.
Billing Cycle: Your Subscription begins on the day you sign up for one and make payment. Unless otherwise specified at the time of sign-up, each Subscription cycle is one month in duration (“Subscription Period”) and will automatically renew on a monthly basis until we terminate the Subscription or you notify us via the Services or by email of your desire to cancel your current Subscription. You will be billed on the monthly anniversary of the day you initially paid for your Subscription.

Unless discontinued at least forty-eight (48) hours before the end of your trial term, each trial membership will automatically convert to a regular monthly subscription.
Cancellation of your Subscription: At any moment, you may cancel your Subscription. If you discontinue the Subscription Service with more than forty-eight (48) hours notice prior to your next payment cycle, you will not be charged for the following month. You will retain access to the Subscription Services upon cancellation until the conclusion of your current subscription cycle.
Other Fees: Glamic may from time to time, either through a Glamic Program or otherwise, provide certain services to Providers and/or Clients for an additional fee in order to assist Providers in growing their businesses and to facilitate the connection of Providers and Clients.
