Bestselfy reserves the right to change or modify, at its sole discretion, any of the terms and conditions contained in these Terms (or any policy or guideline of Bestselfy). If Bestselfy makes changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending you a notification, by providing notice through the Services, and/or by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms and posting the revised Terms to our Services. Your continued use of any of the Services will constitute your acceptance of such changes or modifications. Therefore, you should review these Terms whenever you access the Services to make sure that you understand the terms and conditions that will apply to your use of the Services.

For purposes of these Terms, “Bestselfy” refers to Bestselfy and Bestselfy’s investors, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and assigns.

Third Party Services. The Services require the use of certain third party products and services (“Third Party Services”) identified on the Site. Use of any Third Party Services is at your sole risk and will be governed by separate terms and conditions, separate privacy policies relating to usage of data you may share through the Third Party Services in the course of using the Services, other applicable policies, and may include separate fees and charges. Bestselfy may display content from third parties through the Services or may provide information about or links to Third Party Services. Your interactions with any such third parties, and any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such interactions, are solely between you and the applicable third parties. Bestselfy is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such interactions or as the result of the presence of such third-party information made available through the Services.
