Dermasutra Technologies Private Limited

Terms of Service

Version 1.0

Welcome to Dermasutra.in ("Website," "Platform," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website, application, features, tools, or services, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms form a legal agreement between you and Dermasutra Technologies Private Limited. Please read them carefully.

Dermasutra is an aggregator platform that may provide one or more of the following:

  • Skincare product recommendations based on user-submitted assessments and, where applicable, dermatologist validation.
  • Online audio, video, or chat consultations with licensed dermatologists in India.
  • Educational resources and tools for skincare awareness.

Dermasutra may recommend or sell products but does not manufacture skincare products. The services complement—and do not replace—professional, in-person medical care.

  • User means an individual who accesses or uses the Platform.
  • Practitioner means a licensed dermatologist registered with the Platform.
  • Content means information, text, graphics, photographs, video, or other material uploaded, downloaded, or displayed on the Platform.
  • Services means features, functions, and offerings provided through the Platform.
  • Consultation means an interaction between a User and Practitioner facilitated through the Platform.

You must be at least 18 years old, competent to enter a binding contract under Indian law, and legally able to provide valid consent under applicable law.

People under 18 are prohibited from accessing or using the Platform. By using Dermasutra, you represent that you satisfy these requirements.

Registration

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information and keep it updated.
  • Protect the confidentiality of account credentials.
  • Notify us immediately of unauthorized account use or another security breach.

Account responsibility

You are responsible for activities and actions under your account and for maintaining credential confidentiality.

Verification

We may verify identity, request supporting documentation, refuse or cancel inappropriate registrations, and implement reasonable security measures.

Skincare product recommendations

Recommendations may be generated from information submitted through a structured assessment and may be reviewed or validated by a certified dermatologist where the purchased service includes such review. They may consider skin type, concerns, clinical evidence, professional expertise, and product availability in India. Recommendations are general guidance and are not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment.

Online dermatology consultations

  • Consultations may be offered by verified, licensed dermatologists through audio, video, or chat.
  • Availability is subject to Practitioner availability and professional discretion.
  • Consultations are conducted in accordance with applicable Indian telemedicine requirements.
  • Dermasutra facilitates consultations and does not control independent professional judgment.

Educational content

Articles, videos, wellness guidance, product reviews, and comparisons are educational only and must not be treated as medical advice.

General obligations

  • Provide complete and truthful information and use the services ethically and lawfully.
  • Do not misuse, spam, harass, impersonate, or submit obscene, defamatory, unlawful, or rights-infringing Content.
  • Do not use the Platform in violation of local, state, national, or international law.

Medical information

Provide accurate and complete medical history, symptoms, and conditions requested by a Practitioner and promptly report relevant changes. Incomplete or inaccurate information may affect recommendations or consultations.

Emergencies

The Platform is not designed for medical emergencies. Contact emergency services or visit the nearest healthcare facility when urgent care is needed.

Practitioners commit to maintaining valid credentials, following professional and telemedicine standards, maintaining required records, and protecting user confidentiality.

Dermasutra verifies credentials using reasonable measures but is not responsible for a Practitioner's independent professional advice or services.

Fees

Applicable fees will be shown before a paid service is confirmed. Fees may vary by service, Practitioner, duration, or other disclosed factors and include applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

Payment methods

Available methods may include cards, net banking, UPI, and other electronic systems. Third-party gateways process transactions subject to applicable payment laws and their terms.

Refunds and cancellations

Any refund or cancellation terms displayed at checkout or communicated for the relevant service form part of these Terms. Contact support before purchase if you need clarification.

Technical failures

If a consultation cannot be completed because of a verified technical failure on our side, we will offer rescheduling at no additional cost or process a full refund at your request.

Collection and use

We process personal and medical information in accordance with our Privacy Notice and applicable Indian law.

Medical records

Consultation information is stored securely and confidentially. Subject to applicable law, you may request access to medical records maintained on the Platform.

Information use and disclosure

Information shared with Practitioners is subject to professional confidentiality. We may use anonymized or aggregated data for research or analysis and will not disclose personally identifiable health information without explicit consent except where required by law.

External links

Third-party links are provided for convenience and do not necessarily indicate endorsement. We are not responsible for third-party content, privacy notices, or practices.

Product recommendations

  • Recommendations may link to skincare or pharmaceutical products provided by third parties.
  • We aim to recommend products that comply with applicable Indian requirements, but suitability and results vary.
  • We do not guarantee third-party availability, effectiveness, or safety. Review product labels and seek professional advice where appropriate.
  • Purchases made through external links are governed by the relevant seller's terms.

Advertisements

If third-party advertisements are displayed in the future, the advertiser will be responsible for the content, and display will not itself constitute endorsement.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Platform and services are provided "as is" and "as available" without express or implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Medical disclaimer

The Platform does not itself provide a diagnosis or treatment. General recommendations and educational content do not replace advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Liability limitation

To the extent permitted by law, Dermasutra is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive loss. Total liability relating to a specific paid service will not exceed the amount paid for that service. We are not responsible for outcomes, adverse product reactions, independent Practitioner advice, or technical issues beyond reasonable control. Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dermasutra Technologies Private Limited and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses arising from your use of the Platform, violation of these Terms, violation of another person's rights, or Content you submit.

Termination by Dermasutra

We may suspend or disable access for a violation of these Terms or law, fraud, abuse, harmful conduct, non-payment, or misuse.

Termination by you

You may request account termination through an available Platform channel or by contacting support.

Effect

Access ends on termination. Data may be deleted subject to our Privacy Notice and legal retention duties. Provisions that by nature survive—including ownership, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and liability limits—remain effective.

These Terms are governed by Indian law. The parties will first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation.

If unresolved after 30 days, a dispute may be submitted to arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, before a mutually appointed sole arbitrator, in English. The legally appropriate seat and courts will be determined under applicable Indian law.

We may modify these Terms. For material changes, we may provide notice through email or the Platform. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. Please review these Terms periodically.

Complaints or concerns may be sent to getyoursutra@dermasutra.in. We will acknowledge and respond within timelines required by applicable law and escalate unresolved matters where appropriate.

Entire agreement

These Terms, the Privacy Notice, purchase-specific terms, and other legal notices published by Dermasutra form the agreement concerning the Platform and services.

Severability and waiver

If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only as necessary, and the remaining Terms remain effective. Failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without prior written consent. Dermasutra may assign them as permitted by law.

Force majeure

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, conflict, civil disturbances, government action, fire, flood, infrastructure failure, or internet disruption.
