SORETTE INC SERVICES TERMS

These Sorette Inc Services Terms (these “Terms”) are entered into by and between Sorette Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Sorette”), and the entity applying for “Sorette Approved” status (the “Company” or “you”). These Terms govern your use of the Sorette Services. “Sorette” and “you” may each be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

By accessing or using the Sorette Platform or Services, submitting product information, or accepting these Terms electronically or in writing, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Sorette’s Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Sorette Platform or Services.

Sorette may modify these Terms at any time by posting updated Terms to its website and notifying you. Continued use of the Sorette Services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

1. SORETTE SERVICES

1.1 Description of Services.
Sorette operates a product vetting and evaluation platform (the “Sorette Platform”) through which companies may submit individual products for review under Sorette’s internal standards. If a product meets these standards, Sorette may grant it the right to license and display the Sorette Seal of Approval. This Seal is a proprietary, documentation-based recommendation mark. It is not a certification of product safety, medical suitability, or regulatory compliance.

1.2 Evaluation Process.
Brands are required to submit full ingredient disclosures, manufacturing and marketing documentation, and other relevant data for review. This information may be collected via third-party platforms (e.g., JotForm) and must be accurate, complete, and up to date.

2. USE OF THE SERVICES

2.1 Limited License.
Sorette grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Sorette Platform and Services for the sole purpose of submitting product information for review. Any unauthorized use is strictly prohibited.

2.2 Data Submission.
By submitting data, you grant Sorette the right to use, process, and evaluate such data for internal review purposes only. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. Misrepresentations may result in immediate disqualification or revocation of the Seal.

3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS; LICENSES AND DATA USE

3.1 Ownership.
Sorette retains all rights, title, and interest in and to the Sorette Platform, Services, Seal of Approval, evaluation criteria, and all related intellectual property. No rights are granted except as expressly provided in these Terms.

3.2 Licensing of the Seal.
If a product is approved, you may use the Sorette Seal of Approval solely in accordance with Sorette’s licensing terms, which will be provided separately. Use of the Seal is at Sorette’s sole discretion and may be revoked at any time.

4. FEES

4.1 Package Fee.
Brands applying for “Sorette Approved” status must pay a Package Fee, which may include evaluation, marketing support, and licensing rights. This fee is non-refundable, even if the product is not approved or the Seal is later revoked.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1 Confidentiality Obligations.
Each Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information received from the other Party, including but not limited to ingredient disclosures, manufacturing processes, and evaluation results. Sorette will use such information only for the purposes of evaluating products. Data submitted through third-party forms is encrypted, but Sorette is not liable for any breach or error occurring within third-party platforms.

6. DATA RETENTION

6.1 Retention Period.
Sorette will retain product data for up to twelve (12) months from the date of submission. You are required to resubmit updated documentation annually for continued use of the Seal. Failure to do so may result in revocation.

7. TERMINATION

7.1 Termination Rights.
Sorette may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform or Services, or revoke use of the Seal, at any time for violation of these Terms, misrepresentation, failure to submit accurate documentation, or at Sorette’s sole discretion.

8. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND DISCLAIMERS

8.1 Brand Representations.
You represent that all information provided is accurate, complete, and submitted with proper authorization. You agree to comply with all applicable laws in connection with your products and their promotion.

8.2 Disclaimer of Certification and Safety Claims.
The Sorette Seal of Approval is a proprietary, documentation-based mark reflecting alignment with Sorette’s internal standards. It is not a certification or validation of product safety, efficacy, or regulatory compliance. Sorette does not conduct physical product testing, clinical trials, or contamination analysis. The Seal should not be interpreted as medical advice, regulatory approval, or as evidence that a product is “pregnancy safe” or suitable for any individual. All responsibility for product claims and consumer use rests solely with the brand.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Limitation of Liability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sorette and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, reputational harm, or business interruption — arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Sorette Platform or Services; (b) the evaluation or non-evaluation of your products; (c) use or misuse of the Sorette Seal of Approval; or (d) any claims made by third parties or regulators. The Sorette Seal is not a warranty or guarantee of any kind.

9.2 Indemnification.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sorette, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:
(a) your use of the Sorette Services;
(b) your breach of these Terms;
(c) any marketing, sale, labeling, or formulation of your products;
(d) any claims related to product safety, contamination, consumer harm, or false advertising; or
(e) your misuse or misrepresentation of the Sorette Seal of Approval.

10. GENERAL

10.1 Governing Law; Arbitration.
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Any disputes shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

10.2 Entire Agreement.
These Terms constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter and supersede all prior agreements or understandings.

10.3 Modifications.
Sorette reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time with prior written notice. Continued use of the Platform or Seal constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
