Fresha terms of use


Introduction

These are the terms and conditions of use for www.fresha.com (Terms) and all affiliated websites owned and operated by Fresha.com SV Ltd.

Feedback and Information

Please submit any feedback you have about these Terms or any questions concerning the Site by email to hello@fresha.com.


Privacy

If you use our Site, Fresha’s Privacy Policy applies and forms a part of these Terms of Use. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We do our best to protect your personal information, but we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us – even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission (for example, credit card information) is encrypted. Any transmission is at your own risk.

Access to the site

It is your responsibility to ensure your equipment (computer, laptop, netbook, tablet or other mobile device) meets all the necessary technical specifications to enable you to access and use the Site and is compatible with the Site.

You must ensure that any registration details you provide are accurate. If you choose, or you are provided with, a log-on ID (such as a username and password or other identifier) as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential and must not reveal it to anyone else. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your log-on ID and must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use or other security breach of which you become aware. We reserve the right to disable any log-on ID, at any time, if in our opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms or if any details you provide for the purposes of registering as a user prove to be false.

Age requirements

You must be at least the age of majority or older in your jurisdiction of residence in order to use the Fresha Platform. If you live in a country or area that limit the use of the Fresha Platform because of your age, or restricts the ability to enter into contracts such as this one due to age, you must abide by such age limits and you must not use the Fresha Platform or Fresha Services, or only do so with your parent or legal guardian’s permission.
