SkinSense by Chris
Terms of Service
Effective 2026-06-10. This page is a business policy template and is not legal advice. It should be reviewed by qualified New York counsel before production use.
Agreement and eligibility
By using this site, booking an appointment, or reserving certification training, you agree to these Terms and confirm that the information you provide is accurate. You must be legally able to enter this agreement; a parent or legal guardian must act for a minor when permitted.
Appointments and skin services
Services are educational and cosmetic in nature and are not medical diagnosis or treatment. Results vary. Clients must disclose relevant allergies, sensitivities, medications, conditions, recent procedures, and other information needed for safe service selection. SkinSense may modify or decline a service when appropriate for safety or scope of practice.
Certification reservations and payments
Certification classes are limited-capacity events. Unless a class listing states otherwise, 50% of tuition is due to reserve a seat and fund advance ordering and preparation of the student kit; students may instead pay in full. Reservation payments are non-refundable except when SkinSense cancels the class or applicable law requires otherwise. The remaining balance is due no later than the beginning of class unless a written payment arrangement says otherwise.
Kit ownership and release
A reservation payment does not purchase a take-home kit by itself. Kits are ordered and held for use in connection with the registered class. A student earns the right to receive the kit and certificate only after attending and successfully completing all required training, assessments, and practical work and paying the tuition in full. A student who cancels, fails to attend, leaves early, does not complete requirements, or has an unpaid balance may not claim, collect, ship, transfer, or demand the kit or certificate solely because a partial payment was made.
Cancellations, transfers, and class changes
Student cancellations and no-shows forfeit the reservation payment and any specially ordered or committed costs to the extent allowed by law. SkinSense may permit one transfer to another available date at its discretion and subject to notice, capacity, and replacement-kit costs. SkinSense may reschedule or cancel for instructor illness, safety, weather, insufficient enrollment, or events beyond reasonable control. If SkinSense cancels and no acceptable replacement date is offered, amounts paid for that class will be refunded; consequential expenses are not reimbursed to the extent allowed by law.
Licensing and scope of practice
Training and a SkinSense certificate do not create, replace, expand, or guarantee a government license, professional credential, employment, insurance coverage, or legal authority to perform a service. Every student is solely responsible for checking and continuously complying with the licensing, supervision, facility, sanitation, insurance, age, education, and scope-of-practice rules of every state and locality where the student intends to work. SkinSense does not provide legal advice or determine an individual student's legal eligibility to practice.
Training participation and conduct
Students must follow sanitation, safety, model, attendance, and instructor directions and may be removed for unsafe, disruptive, dishonest, harassing, or unlawful conduct. Hands-on work involves inherent risks, including irritation, allergic reaction, accidental injury, and unsatisfactory results. Students must disclose limitations and stop any activity they cannot perform safely. Photos or recordings require separate permission where applicable.
Intellectual property
Course manuals, protocols, images, videos, branding, and teaching materials are owned by SkinSense or its licensors and are provided for the registered student's personal professional development. They may not be copied, sold, published, recorded, taught, or distributed without written permission.
No guarantees and limitation
SkinSense does not guarantee licensing approval, income, employment, business results, client outcomes, or mastery from attending a class. To the fullest extent permitted by law, remedies are limited to direct damages and amounts paid for the specific service or class giving rise to a claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.
Communications, privacy, and disputes
Use of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy. Messaging is governed by the SMS Terms. Questions or disputes should first be sent to hello@skinsensebychris.com so the parties can try to resolve them informally. These Terms are governed by New York law, without overriding mandatory consumer protections that apply.
Changes and severability
SkinSense may update these Terms prospectively. The version accepted at booking applies to that transaction unless law requires otherwise. If one provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent permitted.
