The terms, in plain language.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Evi website and any related features (“the Service”). By using Evi you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

[PLACEHOLDER: Legal entity name and registered address.]

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent where you live) to create an account. You agree to give accurate information when creating an account, to keep your sign-in credentials secure, and to tell us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for activity under your account.

We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms, that we have reason to believe are fraudulent, or that abuse the Service.

Evi is an editorial and educational publication. Nothing on the Service — including evidence reviews, confidence labels, ingredient summaries, product pages, Evi Match notes or emails — is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and nothing on the Service creates a professional relationship of any kind.

Always consult a qualified doctor, dermatologist or other professional before starting, stopping or changing anything that could affect your health, and before using a product if you have a skin or health condition, are pregnant or are taking medication. Never delay seeking professional advice because of something you read on Evi.

Evidence reviews, confidence labels, rankings, Trending on Evi, Similar to This, Evi Match recommendations and our price comparisons are independent editorial work. They cannot be purchased, and sponsorships never influence them.

Sponsored content — including Sponsored Collections and Sponsored Editorial Features — is always labelled “Sponsored” or “Paid partnership with [brand]”, with disclosure text shown beside it. Sponsorship status is stored and applied separately from all organic systems, so paying cannot move a product up anywhere on Evi.

Some links to retailers are affiliate links, which means Evi may earn a commission if you make a purchase after clicking them. This never changes the price you pay, and it never changes what we write. Commission-bearing links are disclosed on the pages where they appear.

Retailer navigation is always user-initiated: Evi never automatically redirects you to a store, never overwrites another publisher's affiliate attribution, and never interferes with a retailer's own cookies.

Prices, promotions, availability and product details shown on Evi come from retailers and are verified as described on each page; they change frequently and may be out of date by the time you read them. When a price cannot be verified, we say so rather than estimate.

Purchases are transactions between you and the retailer. Evi is not a party to them and is not responsible for pricing errors, order fulfilment, shipping, returns, refunds, product safety or warranties — those are the retailer's or brand's responsibility under their own terms.

Product lists, list titles, notes and other material you create on Evi (“your content”) remain yours. By saving or publishing content through the Service — including sharing a public list link — you give us a limited licence to store, reproduce and display that content solely to operate the Service and any share link you enable.

You are responsible for your content. You agree not to upload or share content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, sexually explicit, or that contains malicious code or another person's personal information without their consent. We may remove content that breaches these rules.

If you send us suggestions, feedback or trend submissions, you agree we may use them without restriction or payment, and without any obligation to respond or credit.

You agree not to:

• Scrape, harvest or copy the Service or its content at scale, or use it to build a competing dataset or product.
• Interfere with the Service's operation, attempt to gain unauthorised access to its systems, or circumvent rate limits or security measures.
• Artificially inflate activity — for example, automated clicks, saves or views — that our analytics systems use.
• Misrepresent your identity, or use the Service to send spam or harass anyone.
• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

Evi's name, wordmark, original illustrations, editorial writing, design and code are owned by Evi or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may read, share links to and make personal, non-commercial use of the Service; you may not reproduce, republish or commercially exploit its content without written permission.

Studies, papers, product names, images and trademarks referenced on Evi belong to their respective owners. We link to openly accessible research so you can read it at its source; we claim no rights over it.

The Service links to retailers, research databases and other third-party sites we don't control. We take care in choosing them, but we're not responsible for their content, accuracy, policies or practices, and a link is not an endorsement of everything a third party does.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-insecurity of uninterrupted access.

We work hard to keep evidence summaries, study links and product information accurate and current, but we don't warrant that any information on the Service is complete, up to date or error-free. You use the Service, and act on anything you read on it, at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Evi and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to [PLACEHOLDER: liability cap — commonly USD 100 or the amount you paid us in the preceding 12 months, which for a free service is typically zero].

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or your statutory consumer rights.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Evi from claims, damages and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms or your unlawful use of the Service.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, or terminate access for breaches of these Terms, at any time.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms here and note the effective date below. Material changes will be flagged on the site. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

[PLACEHOLDER: governing law and venue — e.g. “These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of that state have exclusive jurisdiction.” Confirm with counsel before publishing.]

[PLACEHOLDER: dispute resolution preference — courts, arbitration, or small-claims carve-out.]

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
