Terms of Use
Effective Date: June 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Tough Hair mobile application ("the App") provided by Match Medic Saglik Yazilim ve Bilisim Hizmetleri Anonim Sirketi ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
The App is intended for users aged 18 and older. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under 18, you may not use the App.
2. Not Medical Advice
THE APP IS A WELLNESS AND ROUTINE TRACKING TOOL. IT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE, AND IT DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT.
Specifically:
- Prescription medications: The App allows you to track prescription medications you have been prescribed by your physician. The App does not recommend, prescribe, or adjust the dosage of any prescription medication. All prescription-related notifications display: "Follow instructions provided by your physician." You must consult your physician for all decisions related to prescription medications.
- Routine suggestions: The App may suggest over-the-counter supplements, behavioral practices, and lifestyle habits as part of your personalized routine. These suggestions are based on published scientific research and are provided for informational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice. You should consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, practice, or behavioral change, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions.
- Hair analysis: Any analysis of hair photos is for informational and progress-tracking purposes only. It does not constitute a medical diagnosis. If you are concerned about hair loss, consult a dermatologist.
- No guarantee of results: Hair care outcomes vary significantly between individuals. The App does not guarantee any specific results. Clinical milestones referenced in the App are drawn from published studies and represent population-level averages, not individual predictions.
BY USING THE APP, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS DISCLAIMER AND THAT YOU WILL CONSULT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE MAKING ANY HEALTH-RELATED DECISIONS BASED ON INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE APP.
