Important Disclaimers &
Limitations of Liability

Please read the following disclaimers carefully before using Sydney AI. By accessing or using our platform, you acknowledge and agree to all terms below.

Last updated: May 19, 2026

⚠ Not a Medical Service

Sydney AI is a beauty guidance and cosmetic recommendation platform. Nothing on this platform — including AI-generated advice, ingredient analysis, skin assessments, product recommendations, blog content, or any other output — constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of a qualified, licensed dermatologist or physician for any skin condition, health concern, or before starting any new skincare regimen.

1. No Medical Advice

Sydney AI provides general beauty and skincare guidance powered by artificial intelligence. The platform is not a licensed medical provider, does not employ licensed medical professionals, and does not offer medical services of any kind.

All content generated by Sydney AI — including but not limited to:

  • Skin type assessments and analysis
  • Product recommendations and ingredient guidance
  • Skincare routine suggestions
  • Ingredient compatibility checks
  • Shade matching and foundation recommendations
  • Blog articles, guides, and educational content
  • AI chat responses and personalized advice
  • The 2026 Skin Report and any other reports or publications

— is provided for informational and cosmetic guidance purposes only and does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, medical advice, diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment recommendation.

If you have or suspect you have a skin condition, allergy, medical condition, or any health concern, consult a qualified, licensed dermatologist or healthcare professional before taking any action based on information from this platform.

2. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of Sydney AI does not create a doctor-patient relationship, therapist-client relationship, or any other professional relationship between you and Sydney AI or any of its employees, agents, affiliates, or AI systems.

Any information you share with Sydney AI (including photos, skin descriptions, health history, or personal details) is processed by automated AI systems and does not constitute a clinical consultation. Your interactions are not reviewed by licensed medical professionals unless explicitly stated.

3. AI Limitations & Accuracy

Sydney AI uses large language models and AI systems that, by their nature, can produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or contextually inappropriate outputs. Specifically:

  • AI recommendations are generated probabilistically and may not account for your individual medical history, allergies, medications, or underlying health conditions.
  • Ingredient analysis is based on general cosmetic science literature and does not constitute a safety assessment for your specific situation.
  • Skin assessments based on photos or self-reported data are inherently limited and cannot substitute for in-person clinical evaluation.
  • Product recommendations are not endorsements and Sydney AI does not verify current product formulations, which may change without notice.
  • Information on this platform may become outdated as scientific understanding evolves.

Sydney AI expressly disclaims any warranty that AI-generated content is accurate, complete, current, reliable, or suitable for any particular purpose.

4. Allergy & Skin Reaction Disclaimer

Skincare products contain active ingredients that can cause allergic reactions, irritation, chemical burns, photosensitivity, or other adverse effects in certain individuals. Sydney AI's ingredient checker, product scanner, and recommendation tools do not account for your complete allergy profile, skin sensitivities, current medications, or medical history.

Sydney AI strongly recommends that you:

  • Perform a patch test before using any new product, regardless of any recommendation made by this platform.
  • Consult a dermatologist or allergist if you have a history of skin allergies, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, or other skin conditions.
  • Discontinue use of any product and seek medical attention immediately if you experience irritation, rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or any other adverse reaction.
  • Disclose all current medications and topical treatments to a healthcare provider before adding new products to your routine.

Sydney AI accepts no liability for any allergic reactions, skin damage, or adverse events resulting from following recommendations made on this platform.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sydney AI, its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and service providers shall not be liable for any:

  • Direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Personal injury, bodily harm, or medical complications
  • Skin reactions, allergic responses, or product-related injuries
  • Loss of data, profits, revenue, goodwill, or business opportunities
  • Damages arising from reliance on AI-generated content, recommendations, or analysis
  • Damages arising from third-party products, services, or websites referenced on this platform

arising out of or in connection with your use of Sydney AI, even if Sydney AI has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In jurisdictions that do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for certain damages, Sydney AI's liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

6. No Warranty

Sydney AI is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or uninterrupted service.

We do not warrant that the platform will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, that results obtained from use of the platform will be accurate or reliable, or that the platform will meet your requirements.

7. Third-Party Products & Links

Sydney AI may reference, recommend, or link to third-party products, brands, retailers, and websites. These references do not constitute endorsements or guarantees of any kind. Sydney AI has no control over third-party products, their formulations, their safety, their availability, or the content of third-party websites.

Sydney AI may receive affiliate commissions when users purchase products through links on this platform. Such relationships do not influence AI-generated recommendations, but you should be aware that affiliate relationships exist. See our Affiliates page for more information.

Sydney AI is not responsible for any transactions, disputes, or harms arising from purchases made through third-party retailers or affiliate links.

8. User Responsibility

By using Sydney AI, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • You use this platform at your own risk and exercise your own independent judgment.
  • You are solely responsible for verifying the suitability of any product or routine for your individual circumstances.
  • You will not rely solely on AI-generated advice for any decision that may affect your health.
  • You will seek professional medical advice for any skin conditions, medical concerns, or health issues.
  • You are responsible for reading and following the instructions, warnings, and ingredient lists on any product you purchase.

9. Pregnancy, Minors & Medical Conditions

Certain skincare ingredients (including but not limited to retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, high-dose vitamin A derivatives, and certain essential oils) may be contraindicated during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for children and minors, or for individuals with specific medical conditions.

Sydney AI's recommendations do not automatically account for pregnancy, breastfeeding, age, or medical conditions unless explicitly provided by the user — and even then, AI outputs are not a substitute for professional medical guidance.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18 years old, consult a licensed dermatologist or physician before following any skincare recommendation from this platform.

10. Jurisdiction & Governing Law

This disclaimer and all related matters are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or related to your use of Sydney AI shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Delaware.

If you are accessing Sydney AI from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, regulations, and standards applicable in your jurisdiction. Sydney AI makes no representation that its content complies with the laws or regulations of any country other than the United States.
