Terms of Service

Draft: pending legal review

This document describes how Braidfindr works today. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and may change before launch.

Who we are

Braidfindr operates an online marketplace that lets customers discover and book independent hair braiders. Braidfindr does not provide hair services. Each braider is an independent business responsible for their own services, pricing, schedule, policies, licences, insurance and tax obligations.

Accounts

You must provide accurate information and keep your password secure. You must be at least the age of majority in your province to create an account; minors may receive services only when booked by a parent or guardian.

Bookings and payments

When you book, you agree to the price, deposit and cancellation policy shown before checkout. Payments are processed by Stripe. Braidfindr receives a commission from each booking, deducted from the braider’s price; customers are not charged a separate booking fee unless clearly shown before payment.

Requests

Some braiders review requests before confirming. A request is not a confirmed appointment. If a request is declined or not answered in time, any amount you paid is refunded in full.

Cancellations, no-shows and refunds

See the Cancellation & Refund Policy. Refunds are returned to the original payment method.

Content

Braiders may only post photos of their own work with permission from anyone pictured. You can report content that is inappropriate or not the poster’s own work. We may remove content or accounts that breach these terms or our Community Guidelines.

Reviews

Only customers with a completed booking can review it. Reviews must be honest and about the actual experience.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Braidfindr is not responsible for the services provided by braiders. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under applicable consumer protection law, including the BC Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will notify you of material changes. Questions: see the Contact page.

Reporting

Use the Report link on any post, braider profile or review, or contact support.
