Last revised February 03, 2024
These terms and conditions of use (“Terms of Use” or “Terms”) govern your use of our online interfaces and properties (e.g., websites and mobile applications) owned and controlled by American Beauty Labs, LLC (“American Beauty Labs,” “we,” or “us”), including the americanbeautylabs.com website (collectively, the “Site”), as well as the products and services available to users through the Site (collectively, the “Services”). The terms “you” and “your” means you and any other person accessing your American Beauty Labs account. The term “User” means the user of American Beauty Labs’ Site and Services.
Your acceptance of, and compliance with, these Terms of Use is a condition to your use of the Site and Services. By clicking “accept”, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and accept all terms and conditions contained within these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy . If you do not agree to be bound by these terms, you are not authorized to access or use this Site or Services; promptly exit this Site.
American Beauty Labs reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time, effective upon posting. Any use of this Site after such changes will be deemed an acceptance of those changes. You agree to review the Terms of Use each time you access this website so that you may be aware of any changes to these Terms.
SERVICES
The Site and Services are not for medical emergencies. IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING AN EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL 911 OR GO TO YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.
American Beauty Labs’ Services are designed to enable you to locate and schedule certain professional services to be provided by licensed clinicians. American Beauty Labs contracts with independent medical practices (the “Providers”) to provide clinical services (the “Clinical Services”). The Clinical Services consist of the in-person administration of Botox and other dermal fillers by registered nurses, as well as telehealth consultations with supervising physicians. Currently, the Clinical Services are only available to Users located in New York State. The only prescriptions issued through use of the Clinical Services will be for cosmetic injectables and any medications needed for follow-up treatment, as determined by the treating provider.
The in-person Clinical Services are provided at facilities owned, leased, or rented by our third-party partners. As such, the operations of these facilities are largely outside the control of American Beauty Labs and the Providers.
For purposes of clarity, American Beauty Labs is not a health care provider; rather, American Beauty Labs offers online appointment booking for the Clinical Services, as well as a telehealth platform which facilitates the provision of asynchronous and synchronous telehealth services by the licensed clinicians. American Beauty Labs does not provide any medical advice or representations in any way regarding any medical issues associated with your care by the Providers. All care and treatment issues are between you and your Provider. If you utilize the Clinical Services, the Providers, and not American Beauty Labs, are responsible for the quality and appropriateness of the care they render to you. American Beauty Labs does not make any representations or warranties about the training or skill of any Providers who deliver services via the Site or Service. You will never have a provider-patient relationship with American Beauty Labs.
Currently, the Clinical Services are only available to individuals who are eighteen (18) years of age or older. If you make any misrepresentations about yourself, including misrepresentations of your age or medical history, during either the registration or booking process or during the provision of clinical services, American Beauty Labs and/or the Providers reserve the right to cancel your booked service without notice or refund and charge you the full amount of the booked service. If, at the time of your scheduled Clinical Service, you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the Provider will not perform the service and you will be charged the full amount.
Users are solely responsible for their decision to obtain treatment from a medical professional. We encourage you to consult with your own health care provider before using American Beauty Labs booking service to book any Clinical Services. The content of the Site, including without limitation, text, copy, audio, video, photographs, illustrations, graphics, and other visuals, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or recommendations of any kind by American Beauty Labs.
To the extent that the Service incorporates any third party software licensed by American Beauty Labs, then, in addition to the terms set forth herein, User must comply with any additional terms, restrictions or limitations applicable to such third party software, to the extent that American Beauty Labs has notified User of such terms, restrictions or limitations. Additionally, User acknowledges that American Beauty Labs shall have the right to subcontract performance of its hosting services, in which event the service levels provided by any third party hosting provider (including, without limitation, any service levels that are stricter than the service levels offered by User) will be incorporated herein by reference.
ORDERING AND PURCHASING OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
You can purchase products and Services on the Site. American Beauty Labs collects payment for the Clinical Services on behalf of the Providers. We accept credit and U.S. debit cards. If a credit card account is being used for a transaction, American Beauty Labs may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the payment. If you enroll to make recurring payments automatically, all charges and fees will be billed to the credit card you designate during the setup process. If you want to designate a different credit card or if there is a change in your credit card, you must change your information online. This may temporarily delay your ability to make online payments while we verify your new payment information.
You represent and warrant that if you are making online payments that: (a) any credit card, debit card and bank account information you supply is true, correct, and complete, (b) charges incurred by you will be honored by your credit/debit card company or bank, (c) you will pay the charges incurred by you in the amounts posted, including, without limitation, any applicable taxes, and (d) you are the person in whose name the card was issued and you are authorized to make a purchase or other transaction with the relevant credit card and credit card information.
In the event a product or Service is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error or error in pricing information received from a third party, we shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders placed for the product(s) or Service(s) listed at the incorrect price. We shall have the right to refuse or cancel any such orders whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit or debit card charged. If your credit or debit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we will promptly issue a credit to your credit or debit card account in the amount of the charge.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
We will try work in good faith to resolve any issue you have with Site, including Services ordered or purchased through the Site, if you bring that issue to the attention of our customer service department. However, we realize there may be rare cases where we may not be able to resolve an issue to a customer's satisfaction.
You and American Beauty Labs agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site, including Services ordered or purchased through the Site, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and American Beauty Labs are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and American Beauty Labs.
If you desire to assert a claim against American Beauty Labs, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to American Beauty Labs, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (“Notice”). The Notice to American Beauty Labs should be addressed to: Attn: Level 28/1325 6th Avenue, NY, NY, 10019 (“Notice Address”). If American Beauty Labs desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by American Beauty Labs, must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If American Beauty Labs and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or American Beauty Labs may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by American Beauty Labs or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after American Beauty Labs receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000.
The arbitration will be governed by the laws of the state of New York, the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. Unless American Beauty Labs and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in New York. If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of American Beauty Labs’ last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if American Beauty Labs did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then American Beauty Labs will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
YOU AND AMERICAN BEAUTY LABS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and American Beauty Labs agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
If this Agreement to Arbitrate provision is found to be unenforceable, then: (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in New York.
MISCELLANEOUS TERMS
In the event that any of these Terms of Use are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms of Use shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between American Beauty Labs and you pertaining to the subject matter hereof.
In its sole discretion, American Beauty Labs may from time-to-time revise these Terms of Use by updating this posting. You should, therefore, periodically visit this page to review the current Terms of Use, so you are aware of any such revisions to which you are bound. Certain provisions of these Terms of Use may be superseded by expressly designated legal notices or terms located on particular pages within this Site.
