The platform may be used as a source of professional information, industry navigation, market participant representation and communication within the available functionality of the website.
These Terms of Use apply to all website visitors, as well as to individuals and organizations that submit information for placement, register on the platform, create profiles, send materials, inquiries or otherwise interact with Cosmet Info.

If the user acts on behalf of a legal entity, company, organization or establishment, it is considered that they have the proper authority to do so.

5. Status of information on the website
Materials on Cosmet Info may be editorial, informational, analytical, authorial, expert, partner, advertising or reference in nature, depending on the type of page and format of presentation.
The user should take into account that:
- editorial and informational materials are of a general professional nature;

The placement of a material, profile, company, event or specialist on the website does not in itself mean a universal recommendation, guarantee of result, clinical effectiveness, unconditional approval or confirmation of every statement by the editorial team beyond the status of such material.
6. No individual consultation
Cosmet Info is not a substitute for individual medical, cosmetological, legal, financial or other professional consultation. Even if the platform publishes materials about aesthetic medicine, cosmetological procedures, professional products, equipment, care protocols or training programs, such information should not be perceived as a personal prescription, diagnosis, recommendation for a specific case or official manufacturer's instruction.
The user independently assesses when information from the platform requires additional verification, an official document or consultation with a relevant specialist.
7. Intellectual property
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the content, website structure, texts, design, graphic elements, logos, names, editorial materials and other objects placed on Cosmet Info may be protected by intellectual property rights.
The user has no right to copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly use or otherwise exploit website materials without proper permission, unless otherwise expressly permitted by law or by the rules of specific content.
If the user submits texts, photos, descriptions, logos, profile data or other materials to the platform, they confirm that they have the right to use them and provide them for placement.
8. User content and third-party data
If a user, company, clinic, salon, store, training center or another person submits materials or information for placement, that party is responsible for ensuring that:
- they have the right to publish such data;
- the materials do not violate the law, third-party rights or these Terms of Use;
- the information is correct within the known circumstances;
- the publication does not mislead users.
Cosmet Info may moderate, technically edit, format or structurally arrange submitted content, but such involvement does not mean assuming full responsibility for the original content of data provided by a third party.

Where technically possible, the user may submit a request to clarify the reasons for such restriction.
