Metaesthetics General Terms and Conditions for Clinics

Version 1.0 – 05.02.2026

1. Scope

These terms and conditions (the "Terms") govern the access to and the use of Metaesthetics digital platform available in the Web Application and at https://www.metaesthetics.net (the "Platform") and related services (together, the "Services").

The Platform enables professionals in the aesthetics industry (the "Partners") to manage their clinic operations and including appointment scheduling for their respective customers (the "Customers").

The Services are offered by SKS INNOVATION SA, Chemin du Laviau 6, 1805 Jongny, Switzerland (the "Company").

To access or use the Services, the Partner must accept these Terms when signing an order form (the "Order Form"). If the Partner does not agree to these Terms, the Partner may not use or access the Services.

These Terms, together with the Order Form, Joint Controller Agreement and all other referenced documents, form a legally binding agreement (the "Agreement") between the Company and the Partner.

These Terms do not govern the relationship between the Company and the Customer.

2. Services

Platform

The Company offers a Platform for simplified and AI-enhanced Customer journeys and payment processes via mobile devices, including:

  • Intuitive clinic setup and multi-location management with customised procedure protocol;
  • Staff management with credential tracking, performance dashboards, and role-specific gateways;
  • Customer management system featuring smart profiles, treatment histories, and satisfaction metrics;
  • Structured consultation flows covering treatment history, physical assessments, and expected results;
  • Operational tools like scheduling precision, financial dashboards, value analytics, and promotion/loyalty programs;
  • Matching Customers with specialists aligned to Customer's explicitly specified aesthetic goals.

The Platform is limited exclusively to the aforementioned referral and support services. The actual implementation of the agreed counselling sessions themselves is not part of the Platform. This takes place directly between the health care professional and the Customer. The Company merely provides the infrastructure and tools and acts exclusively as an intermediary and supporter. The Company does not offer any medical services itself. In particular, the Platform does not make any diagnoses, carry out any treatments or give any medical advice. These are the sole responsibility of the health care professionals within the framework of the booked appointment. The Partner acknowledges that the Platform is not a substitute for professional advice, but rather a means of finding such treatments by authorised specialists and handling it technically.

The Company may add new features to the Services at any time and may modify or delete them.

Access to Services

Partner must register and create an account on the Platform (the "Account") to access and use all or part of the Services.

The Partner must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep their Account information up-to-date. Accounts registered by bots or automated methods are not authorised and will be terminated.

The Partner is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials and may not disclose their credentials to any third party. The Partner is responsible and liable for activities conducted through their account and must immediately notify the Company if there is any suspicion that their credentials have been lost, stolen, or their account is otherwise compromised.

If and as permitted by applicable law, the Company may, but has no obligation to (i) ask the Partner to provide identification or other information, (ii) undertake checks designed to help verify Partner's identity or background and (iii) screen the Partner against third-party databases or other sources and request reports from service providers.
