Terms of Service

By creating an account or using InkFindr in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use InkFindr.

You must be at least 18 years old to use InkFindr. By using the service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older. If you are under 18, you may not use InkFindr.

InkFindr is a directory and discovery platform that connects customers with tattoo artists.

INKFINDER IS NOT A PARTY TO ANY AGREEMENT, TRANSACTION, OR TATTOO SERVICE BETWEEN A CUSTOMER AND AN ARTIST. We do not vet artists' skills, licensing, health practices, or any other qualifications. Customers transact directly with artists at their own risk. InkFindr makes no representations or warranties regarding any artist listed on the platform.

• Accounts are optional for customers and required for artists.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must not share your account credentials with any other person.
• You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep it current.
• You must notify us immediately at support@inkfindr.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

You retain ownership of content you submit to InkFindr (including portfolio images, reviews, board items, and inquiry text). By submitting content, you grant InkFindr a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute your content within and in connection with the service.

You represent and warrant that: (a) you have all rights necessary to grant the above license; (b) your content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights; and (c) your content complies with these Terms and all applicable law.

You agree not to use InkFindr to:

• Harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm any person.
• Post content containing hate speech, doxxing, or illegal material.
• Spam other users or submit unsolicited commercial communications.
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to access InkFindr without our written permission.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract InkFindr's source code or trade secrets.
• Circumvent any security or access-control feature.
• Impersonate any person or entity.
• Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law.

We reserve the right to remove content and terminate accounts at any time, for any reason, with or without notice, including for violations of these Terms.

If you encounter content that violates these Terms or applicable law, use the Report content form. We will review reports and respond in a timely manner. We may contact you for additional information.

Customers may block artists; blocked artists will not appear in their search results or recommendations. A dedicated in-app blocking affordance will be added in a future release. In the meantime, use the Report content flow to flag abusive behavior.

InkFindr respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Our designated copyright agent for receipt of infringement notices is:

To submit a valid takedown notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must include: (1) a signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent; (2) identification of the copyrighted work; (3) identification of the infringing material and its location on InkFindr; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement of good-faith belief that use is unauthorized; and (6) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act. We will remove infringing material and may terminate repeat infringers.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. INKFINDER DOES NOT WARRANT THE QUALITY, SAFETY, OR LICENSING OF ANY ARTIST LISTED. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INKFINDER, ITS OPERATORS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. INKFINDER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE FEES YOU PAID TO INKFINDER IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless InkFindr and its operators, affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your content; (b) your use of the service; or (c) your breach of these Terms.

Informal resolution: Before initiating arbitration, you agree to give InkFindr at least 30 days' written notice of your dispute at support@inkfindr.com and a reasonable opportunity to cure.

Binding arbitration:If the dispute is not resolved informally, it will be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Arlington County, Virginia. The arbitrator may award the same damages and relief as a court. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court for claims within that court's jurisdictional limit (up to $10,000).

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS.

Opt-out: You may opt out of mandatory arbitration within 30 days of first creating your account by emailing support@inkfindr.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Opt-out does not affect your other rights under these Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Arlington County, Virginia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

We may suspend or terminate your access to InkFindr at any time, for any reason, with or without notice. You may delete your account at any time via the in-app flow (customers / artists). Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

If you access InkFindr through an application on an Apple iOS device, the following terms apply in addition to these Terms:

• These Terms are between you and InkFindr only, not Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for InkFindr or its content.
• Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance, support, warranty, or other services with respect to the InkFindr application.
• Apple has no responsibility for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the InkFindr application or your use of it.
• In the event of any third-party claim that the InkFindr application or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, InkFindr (not Apple) will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
• You must also comply with applicable third-party terms of service when using the InkFindr application (e.g., your wireless data agreement).

• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
• Entire agreement: These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and InkFindr with respect to the service and supersede all prior agreements.
• Assignment:You may not assign these Terms or any rights hereunder without InkFindr's written consent. InkFindr may assign these Terms freely.
• Waiver:InkFindr's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to enforce it later.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app banner at least 30 days before taking effect. Your continued use of InkFindr after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
