TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICES AVILABLE ON BOOK ME.INK

The tattoo services available on our Service may only be reimbursed in accordance with the providers’ refund policies, if applicable. Refunds, if any, are done directly through the providers, not through Book Me.Ink.

The terms and conditions of the tattoo services offered by the providers on our Service are entirely determined by the providers themselves.

We therefore have no control over the rates, deposits, refund policies and appointment cancellation policies of providers who offer their services on Book Me.Ink.

TATOO SERVICES

We have done our best to display as clearly as possible the colors and images of the tattoo design gallery that appear on our Service. We cannot guarantee that the colors displayed by your computer will be accurate. 

All tattoo design descriptions and tattoo design rates may be changed at any time without notice, at the discretion of the providers who make their services and tattoo designs available on our Service. We reserve the right to stop offering a tattoo design at any time.

Providers who make their services and tattoo design available on our Service are fully responsible for them and for the statements made in connection with them. Book Me.Ink, being a booking service, shall not be held responsible for any and all claims in relation to the services being made available on the Service, the tattoo designs uploaded online by providers and the quality of these designs or services.

As a customer, you must take the time to inform yourself about the provider that you decide to do business with and his or her practices (whether the provider has followed hygiene training,  whether he or she has the necessary permits and authorizations to practice his or her profession, etc).

FEES AND PAYMENT

All sales made from our Service are subject to a commission (service fee). When the customer makes a deposit to book an appointment with one of our providers, this service charge is added to the amount of the deposit. Providers also agree to pay a subscription to Book Me.Ink to make their products and services available on our Service.

Any action taken to avoid paying the commission (in particular, the solicitation of customers in private), the subscription or to avoid paying the purchase price of a product, constitutes a violation of these Terms that may lead to the deletion of the user account. Any transaction initiated on the Service must be completed on the Service.

If one of our providers or the customer decides to cancel an appointment, the 2.1% service fee will not be refunded by Book Me.Ink.

PROVIDING SOLD SERVICES

Any attempt to avoid performing a tattoo service sold through Book Me.Ink constitutes a violation of these Terms that may lead to the deletion of the user account.
