DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Product Legal Disclaimer
The products described, sold, or otherwise made available through this site have not been evaluated, tested, reviewed, or approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). No statement contained herein shall be construed as medical advice or as a representation that any product is intended to diagnose, treat, mitigate, cure, or prevent any medical condition. The information provided is presented strictly for educational and informational purposes and shall not be relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare provider. By purchasing or using any product offered, you expressly acknowledge that such product is not regulated as a drug, medical device, or therapeutic treatment under federal law. Any reliance upon descriptions, testimonials, or suggested uses is undertaken solely at your discretion and risk. We disclaim all responsibility for misinterpretation of the content herein as medical guidance. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that you will not construe any statement provided in relation to our products as a medical claim. Your use of the products constitutes acknowledgment of these terms.
No portion of the content on this site shall be interpreted as a substitute for medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment rendered by a licensed physician or other qualified healthcare professional. If you have or suspect you have a medical condition, you must immediately seek advice from a physician or other licensed medical provider before using any product offered herein. We do not represent or warrant that our products are suitable for persons with specific health conditions, nor do we represent that they are appropriate for individuals taking prescription medications. You assume sole responsibility for determining whether any product may be safely applied or used in light of your personal health profile. No warranties, express or implied, are made regarding the compatibility of any product with particular health needs. The inclusion of descriptive content, whether regarding ingredients, uses, or anecdotal reports, shall not be interpreted as constituting health advice or medical guidance. Your reliance on any content contained on this site is expressly at your own risk. By proceeding, you affirm that you understand the necessity of seeking independent medical advice.
Any reference to outcomes, experiences, or results obtained through the use of our products is anecdotal in nature and not based upon controlled clinical trials. The FDA has not reviewed, approved, or endorsed any claim of efficacy associated with the use of our products. We make no representation that the experiences of other individuals are predictive of results you may obtain. Results are inherently variable and dependent on factors outside of our knowledge or control. The content provided is not supported by scientific research recognized by regulatory authorities and must not be construed otherwise. You expressly acknowledge that outcomes may differ from any examples, descriptions, or testimonials that may appear in association with the products. You accept the risk of variable or adverse outcomes when choosing to utilize our products. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any claim that reliance upon anecdotal information gave rise to any expectation of results.
By purchasing and using our products, you voluntarily assume all risk of use and release us, our affiliates, owners, officers, and employees from liability for any loss, injury, damage, or adverse outcome of any kind, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise. We expressly disclaim liability for allergic reactions, sensitivities, or other effects experienced by users. You acknowledge that individual reactions to natural or crafted products vary and cannot be predicted in advance. We make no guarantees as to safety, efficacy, or fitness for any particular purpose, and we disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for negligence, omission, or misrepresentation, whether actual or alleged. Your acceptance of these terms is a condition precedent to your use or purchase of our products. If you do not agree with these terms, you must refrain from purchasing or using our products. Your continued use signifies informed acceptance of all disclaimers herein.
All product descriptions, explanations, or suggested applications are provided for general informational purposes and shall not be relied upon as comprehensive or authoritative. We do not claim or imply that our products are free from risk, nor do we guarantee that they will meet your individual expectations. Nothing contained on this site creates any duty for us to warn of every possible outcome, interaction, or reaction associated with product use. You are solely responsible for conducting any due diligence, including consulting with healthcare professionals, prior to use. Any decision to apply or ingest a product is undertaken at your own initiative and discretion. We disclaim any obligation to update, revise, or verify the accuracy of descriptive information provided. No oral or written statement shall create a warranty beyond what is expressly stated in this disclaimer. The entire risk as to the use of the products lies exclusively with you.
The products are not produced, packaged, or distributed under FDA-regulated manufacturing conditions. They are not required to comply with federal drug, cosmetic, or medical device standards and may naturally vary in appearance, consistency, or composition. Such variation is a normal characteristic of products produced outside of pharmaceutical or industrial facilities. We make no representation that the products conform to standards governing regulated consumer goods. All products are offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranty or guarantee of uniformity. To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for such variations. You acknowledge that you are purchasing items not subject to governmental oversight. This acknowledgment forms part of the binding agreement between you and us.
We further disclaim liability for reliance upon third-party statements, testimonials, or promotional descriptions that may be shared by other customers or affiliates. While such accounts may describe individual experiences, they do not represent scientific data or verified results. You agree not to construe such statements as guarantees or warranties regarding your own experience. You further agree that no representation, whether written or oral, from any party connected with these products, shall be binding except to the extent explicitly stated herein. All testimonials or anecdotal descriptions are subjective and not independently confirmed. The use of such materials is strictly illustrative and not to be relied upon for health or medical decisions. You accept that reliance upon such materials is unreasonable and done at your sole risk. By continuing to purchase or use our products, you confirm this understanding.
Each user of our products is responsible for conducting their own evaluation of the suitability of the products for personal use. We strongly advise against reliance on these products for purposes other than personal and discretionary use. If you have any preexisting condition, pregnancy, or special circumstance, you are solely responsible for consulting a qualified healthcare provider prior to use. We make no assurances that products are safe for every individual or condition. Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to waive or limit any rights afforded to you under applicable consumer law, except to the extent permissible under such law. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the use of our products shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the products are sold, without regard to conflicts of law principles. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our affiliates from any claim arising from your use of the products. This indemnification shall survive any termination of use or purchase.
Finally, it must be emphasized that our products are not mass-produced, not manufactured in pharmaceutical facilities, and not subject to FDA oversight. Variations are normal and expected, and no representation is made that products are uniform or identical across batches. They are offered in limited volumes and crafted with care but without industrial or laboratory standardization. No legal claim shall arise from such variation or informality. Our products are presented in good faith for lawful personal use only. They should never be confused with prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, or FDA-regulated substances. By purchasing, you accept these limitations without reservation. For avoidance of doubt, all products are handmade and homemade.
Pigment & Non-Medical Use Disclaimer
The products offered through this site are provided strictly for lawful personal use, and they are presented without any evaluation, review, or approval by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). No product described, sold, or referenced herein is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, ailment, or medical condition. Any language that could be construed otherwise is expressly disclaimed. The content provided on this site, including but not limited to product descriptions, educational information, and customer commentary, is presented for informational purposes only and shall not be relied upon as medical advice. You are strongly advised to seek consultation from a licensed healthcare professional regarding any questions or concerns relating to health, wellness, or the treatment of medical conditions. Nothing stated by us, whether written or verbal, shall constitute or substitute for a professional diagnosis or treatment plan. Reliance on any representation or omission associated with our products is solely at your own risk.
No warranties, guarantees, or assurances are made, express or implied, regarding the effect, result, or outcome of using these products. The products are not classified or marketed as pharmaceutical drugs, therapeutic treatments, or recognized cosmetics under federal or state law. They are not manufactured in facilities regulated by the FDA or equivalent agencies. Accordingly, no representation is made that our products meet the standards required for medicinal, therapeutic, or regulated cosmetic items. We disclaim liability for any injury, harm, adverse reaction, or dissatisfaction arising from the use or misuse of our products. By purchasing and using our products, you acknowledge that you assume all risks voluntarily and agree to hold us harmless from any and all claims arising therefrom. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim liability for consequential, incidental, punitive, or indirect damages of any nature.
Any suggestion that these products might impact appearance, health, or wellbeing must not be interpreted as evidence of medical efficacy or as compliance with cosmetic product regulations. The products are not marketed or sold as cosmetics in the legal sense, nor are they labeled or certified in accordance with cosmetic manufacturing standards. While pigments may alter the visible appearance of hair, skin, or nails when applied, such use is considered discretionary and outside of any formal cosmetic regulatory framework. Accordingly, users must not rely on the products as substitutes for commercially regulated cosmetics. No claims are made that the products are safe, suitable, or tested for use in the same manner as items distributed under cosmetic industry standards. The absence of FDA oversight and cosmetic registration is material, and you accept this risk upon use.
These products are better understood as natural pigments, similar to raw materials historically employed for coloration purposes. They are presented solely as general-purpose pigments that may be incorporated into personal creative or aesthetic projects at the discretion of the user. Any application, whether for hair, nails, or skin, is strictly voluntary and unregulated. They may be used in crafts, dye projects, artistic applications, or other pigment-based endeavors, but such uses are not certified, guaranteed, or warranted. No representation is made that our products are stable, consistent, or safe for every intended application, whether topical or otherwise. Users are solely responsible for evaluating whether pigments are appropriate for the context of their use. Variability in color outcome, appearance, or durability is to be expected and shall not be grounds for liability.
We expressly disclaim any interpretation that our products can heal, alleviate, or modify medical conditions. They are not substitutes for prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, or any FDA-approved treatment. The products shall not be used as remedies, therapies, or medical interventions. While they may impart visible pigment, they do not alter biological conditions and must not be considered therapeutic in nature. Any expectation that they can repair, restore, or prevent medical issues is unfounded and expressly disclaimed. We do not endorse or encourage substitution of these products for medical treatment. Failure to seek professional medical care in reliance upon these products may pose health risks for which we bear no responsibility. By choosing to apply these products, you confirm your understanding that they provide no therapeutic benefit.
We disclaim any liability arising from allergic reactions, sensitivities, or adverse responses to use. Individual biochemistry and skin compatibility vary greatly, and it is impossible to predict every potential interaction. Therefore, patch testing prior to personal use is advised, but it does not guarantee safety. Any decision to apply pigments to the skin, hair, or nails is undertaken at your own risk, without assurance of safety or efficacy. The risk of adverse reaction rests entirely with the consumer. No guarantee is made that the pigments are hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested, or suitable for prolonged use on the body. The user assumes full responsibility for evaluating risks prior to use. No claim against us shall be valid based upon skin irritation, scalp discomfort, or similar reactions.
The products are sold “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We disclaim all implied warranties, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the products will meet your requirements, that outcomes will be consistent, or that any use will be free of defects, adverse reactions, or variations. Coloration results are subjective and variable depending upon numerous factors, including natural pigmentation, application method, environmental conditions, and user-specific factors. You accept that results may not align with expectations. Any remedy is limited to discontinuing use of the products. No refunds, replacements, or compensations are offered beyond what is required under applicable consumer protection law.
Any testimonials, reviews, or anecdotal descriptions of results are provided by independent third parties and have not been verified or substantiated by us. Such statements are inherently subjective and do not constitute binding claims, warranties, or representations of typical outcomes. Individual experiences vary and may not be reflective of general use. You agree not to construe testimonials or promotional materials as evidence of safety, efficacy, or regulatory compliance. No reliance upon such materials shall give rise to liability against us. Any decision to purchase or use products on the basis of such accounts is undertaken at your sole discretion and risk. We disclaim responsibility for misinterpretation of such materials by consumers.
By purchasing or using these products, you expressly agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the owners, affiliates, representatives, successors, and assigns from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising out of or related to your use or misuse of the products. This indemnification obligation applies regardless of whether claims are based in contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise. You further agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these products shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the jurisdiction in which they were sold, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any legal proceeding must be initiated in the courts of such jurisdiction. Your continued use or possession of the products constitutes your acceptance of these conditions. If you do not accept these terms, you must refrain from purchasing or using the products.
Finally, you acknowledge that these products are not industrially manufactured, mass-produced, or prepared in FDA-regulated environments. They are created in small batches and may contain natural variations in color, consistency, or texture. Such variations are characteristic of artisanal pigment products and do not constitute defects. No representation is made that the products comply with commercial manufacturing standards. They are presented in good faith for lawful, discretionary, personal use only. They are not offered as medical devices, therapeutic agents, or regulated cosmetics. At their essence, these are natural pigment preparations. For absolute clarity, these products are handmade and homemade.
Racial & Sociopolitical Use Disclaimer
The undersigned Company hereby issues this Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability (hereinafter the “Disclaimer”) concerning the melanin-based products it manufactures, distributes, and offers for sale (hereinafter collectively, the “Products”). This Disclaimer is intended to clarify and establish, in the clearest and most unequivocal terms, the scope, nature, purpose, and limitations of the Products, and to expressly disavow any interpretation, misuse, or misrepresentation of the Products in connection with racial, ethnic, cultural, social, or political matters.
The Products are offered exclusively for lawful, personal, cosmetic, self-care, and nourishment-related purposes. They are not intended, either expressly or implicitly, to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any racial, ethnic, or sociological issue, condition, or circumstance, nor to serve as a remedy for racial injustice, discrimination, inequity, or any other form of social disparity. The Products shall not be construed as instruments of cultural or racial alteration, nor as devices by which an individual may alter, redefine, or transform their inherent identity. Any claim, inference, or assumption to the contrary is hereby expressly rejected and disclaimed.
The Company does not, under any theory of law, equity, or moral reasoning, represent or warrant that the Products can, or should, be utilized for the purpose of changing, modifying, or influencing the biological or social characteristics associated with race, ethnicity, or cultural identity. The natural structure and function of melanin in the human body, being an essential biological element of human physiology, is not subject to alteration or disruption by the Products, nor do the Products purport to interfere with the natural human nature of melanin. The Products are to be understood solely as nourishing suspensions or formulations intended for topical or cosmetic application, and nothing more.
Further, the Products shall not, and must not, be interpreted as carrying any power, authority, or symbolic significance in relation to racial, ethnic, or sociopolitical movements. They are not intended to endorse, validate, or refute any social cause, protest, or ideology, nor shall they be construed as instruments of empowerment, subjugation, or justification within the context of racial discourse. Any assertion that the Products may serve such purposes is a misrepresentation for which the Company bears no liability.
The Company expressly disclaims all responsibility and liability for any misuse, abuse, or mischaracterization of the Products whereby an individual, having applied or otherwise used the Products, purports to employ them as a means of gaining advantage, influence, or superiority over another individual, particularly where such actions are premised upon disparities in natural melanin levels or racial identity. Such conduct is outside the intended and permissible use of the Products and is categorically disavowed by the Company.
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, including but not limited to the laws, the Company shall not be held liable, in contract, tort, equity, statute, or otherwise, for any claim, dispute, injury, damage, or adverse consequence arising from or related to the improper, unlawful, or sociopolitically motivated use of the Products. This includes, without limitation, any assertion that the Products have altered, affected, or been used to justify any racial, ethnic, or cultural transformation, dispute, or confrontation.
Consumers are hereby placed on notice that the Products are provided “as is” and “as available” for lawful, personal, and cosmetic purposes only. No warranty, representation, or guarantee, express or implied, is made regarding any effect of the Products on racial identity, social position, cultural acceptance, or ethnic categorization. Any interpretation of the Products as possessing such characteristics is the sole responsibility of the consumer and is expressly disclaimed by the Company.
By purchasing, possessing, or using the Products, the consumer expressly acknowledges and agrees that they shall not employ the Products in any context that relates, directly or indirectly, to racial identity, racial disputes, sociopolitical movements, or urban disturbances. The consumer further acknowledges that any such misuse constitutes a violation of this Disclaimer and absolves the Company of any and all liability associated therewith. The consumer assumes full responsibility for their actions, and the Company shall not, under any circumstances, defend, indemnify, or otherwise support claims arising from such improper conduct.
This Disclaimer shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles. In the event that any provision herein shall be found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. This Disclaimer constitutes the full, final, and complete expression of the Company’s intent regarding the limitations on the use of the Products, superseding any prior statements, oral or written.
By proceeding with the purchase, possession, or use of the Products, the consumer affirms their acceptance of the terms set forth herein. Should the consumer disagree with or fail to accept these terms, they are hereby instructed to refrain from purchasing or using the Products. The Company’s liability is strictly limited as set forth in this Disclaimer, and no extension, expansion, or modification of such liability shall be implied.
