Terms of Use
This text is a substantive draft authored as input to qualified legal counsel. It is not authoritative. The version published once Salon Manager Pro launches publicly on the App Store is set by counsel; the version here is the operator's strongest pre-legal-review formulation pending that review. Acceptances recorded against this version are tracked under the version string smp-0.1-pre-legal and will be re-prompted when counsel returns binding text.
1. Acceptance and scope
These Terms of Use govern your use of Salon Manager Pro (the "App"), an iOS application operated by Creston Global Enterprises LLC ("CrestonGE," "we," "our"). By tapping Accept & Continue on the in-app acceptance gate, you indicate that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
These Terms apply to anyone signed in to Salon Manager Pro, including salon owners, salon managers, and stylists invited to a salon's roster.
2. What Salon Manager Pro is
Salon Manager Pro is a collaboration tool. It captures color formulations, weight measurements, client visit history, and per-salon product catalog data so a salon team can mix smarter and waste less product.
Salon Manager Pro is not a contract or legal evidence. Nothing recorded in the App constitutes a signed agreement, a notarized record, an admission, or a piece of admissible evidence in any legal proceeding. Records in the App are operational artifacts of a working salon team — not statements of fact verified by anyone. The App deliberately avoids legal-act vocabulary ("sign," "execute," "notarize," "approve") in its UI; the records similarly carry no legal-act significance.
You remain solely responsible for any formal obligations — written agreements with clients, employment law, professional licensing, tax records, contract obligations with product vendors — handled outside the App.
3. Account and identity
The App uses Sign in with Apple as its sole authentication method. Apple returns an email and (on first sign-in only) a name to the App. CrestonGE stores those values to identify your account; the App does not collect or store your Apple ID password.
You are responsible for keeping your Apple ID secure. If your Apple ID is compromised, sign out of the App and regenerate the Sign in with Apple credential per Apple's instructions.
4. Salon multi-tenancy and roles
Salons in the App are isolated tenants. A salon's clients, formulas, products, appointments, and audit records are visible only to that salon's active members.
There are two roles:
- Admin — typically the salon owner or salon manager. Admins can invite or remove stylists, manage the salon's product catalog (including cost data), set or hand off the admin role, and access all salon records.
- Stylist — invited by an admin. Stylists can record visits and formulas, manage the salon-shared client list (name only), and pick products from the catalog. Stylists cannot view or edit product cost data.
A salon must always have at least one active admin. Sole-admin departure requires a hand-off to another member per the in-app handoff flow.
5. Client information
The only client information the App captures is the client's name. The App does not collect or store client phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, addresses, health information, or any other personally identifying detail about clients.
Stylists are responsible for handling client information in line with their own salon's policies and applicable professional and consumer-protection laws.
6. Acceptable use
When using the App, you agree NOT to:
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the App's source code or proprietary algorithms.
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to interact with the App or its backend services.
- Resell, sublicense, or transfer your access to the App or to a salon you've been invited to.
- Use the App to harass, defraud, or harm another user.
- Use the App in any way that violates US federal, state, or local law.
- Attempt to circumvent multi-tenant isolation, role-based access controls, or audit logging.
- Submit false or fabricated client, formula, or product records intended to mislead another user or a third party.
CrestonGE may suspend or terminate access for material violations, with notice except where notice is impractical or contraindicated.
7. Subprocessors
CrestonGE relies on the following subprocessors to deliver the App. Categories of personal information shared with each are described in the Privacy Policy §5:
- Apple Inc. — Sign in with Apple authentication (United States).
- Supabase, Inc. — Postgres database, authentication, storage, edge functions, row-level security (United States data center).
- Resend (Drand, Inc.) — transactional email delivery for invites and email verification (United States).
- Cloudflare, Inc. — DNS hosting and email routing for
salonmanagerpro.com(United States).
Material changes to this list trigger re-acceptance per §11.
8. Auditability
Every consequential action in the App — salon creation, member invitation, role transition, member removal, account deletion, client creation/archive, visit start/complete, formula creation/edit/weight-capture, product creation/edit/archive, acceptance of these Terms — is recorded in an append-only audit log. The audit log captures the actor, the action, the affected record, and a timestamp. CrestonGE uses the log for governance, troubleshooting, and dispute investigation. The log is not a public record and is retained per the Privacy Policy §7.
You acknowledge that there is no expectation of unaudited use of the App.
9. Account deletion
The App provides an in-app account deletion flow per Apple App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v). Deletion removes your account and your direct salon access. Records you contributed to a salon (clients you created, formulas you recorded, products you added) remain in the salon's tenant for the salon's continued operation; your authorship attribution may be retained or set to NULL per the salon's internal record-keeping needs and the audit-retention obligations described in the Privacy Policy.
Deletion of audit records carrying your actor identifier is subject to the audit-retention exception described in the Privacy Policy §7.
If you are the sole admin of a salon, account deletion is blocked until you hand off the admin role to another active member, per §4.
10. Disclaimers and limitations of liability
PRE-LEGAL-REVIEW PLACEHOLDER. Counsel will return the binding text. The substantive operator position recorded here:
The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE." CrestonGE makes no warranties — express or implied — about the App's fitness for a particular purpose, its merchantability, its non-infringement, its uptime, the accuracy of any formula recommendation, or the suitability of any record for legal, tax, or professional purposes.
To the maximum extent permitted by US law, CrestonGE is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App, including lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or product waste outcomes that diverge from what the App predicted or recorded.
CrestonGE's total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App is limited to the amounts you paid CrestonGE for the App in the twelve months preceding the claim, or $100 USD, whichever is greater.
These limitations do not apply to liabilities that cannot be limited under applicable US law.
11. Changes to these Terms
CrestonGE may update these Terms. Material changes — for example: a change in subprocessors, a change in data categories collected, a change in user rights, a change in dispute resolution — trigger a re-acceptance prompt the next time you open the App. Non-material changes (typo fixes, contact-info updates, clarifying language) take effect on publication without re-acceptance.
When counsel returns the authoritative text, the version string changes from smp-0.1-pre-legal to smp-1.0 and you will be re-prompted to accept the binding version.

13. Governing law
PRE-LEGAL-REVIEW PLACEHOLDER. Counsel will finalize the binding choice-of-law and dispute-resolution provisions.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App will be resolved per the dispute-resolution procedure that counsel finalizes and that you accept on the next re-acceptance prompt.
14. Severability and entire agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and CrestonGE regarding the App and supersede any prior understandings on the same subject.
