6.3 We reserve the right to review, edit, or remove any UGC at our discretion, without prior notice—especially if it violates these Terms or could harm our brand (e.g., a fake review claiming our vegan skincare contains animal-derived ingredients).

7. Site Availability and Modifications

7.1 Availability: We strive to make the Site available 24/7, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access—critical for Users relying on tools like the “Shade Match” for last-minute makeup orders. The Site may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates (e.g., adding a new “Fragrance Quiz,” updating ingredient lists to comply with new regulations), or due to technical issues (e.g., server outages).

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. Hudabeauto disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

  • Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement (e.g., we do not warrant that the Site will meet your specific skincare needs, or that a lipstick’s online shade swatch will perfectly match the physical product—minor color variations may occur due to device displays);
  • Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of Site content (e.g., product availability, ingredient lists, or shipping times for fragrances—we update this information regularly but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy);
  • Warranties that the Site will be secure, virus-free, or free from technical errors (e.g., that your Account will not be temporarily inaccessible, or that the “Skincare Finder” tool will not experience occasional glitches).
