Medical Disclaimer

1. No medical advice; not a substitute for medical care

The content on trynailscience.com — including but not limited to product descriptions, advertising, blog posts, prelander articles, illustrations, customer reviews, testimonials, customer-service correspondence, and any other content of any kind — is provided for general informational and cosmetic-care purposes only. None of it is medical advice. It is not a substitute for the diagnosis, treatment, or recommendation of a qualified healthcare provider, podiatrist, or dermatologist familiar with your medical history. Do not disregard, delay, or modify medical care or advice because of anything you read on the Site or in any NailScience material. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

2. FDA status; no medical claim

NailScience products have not been evaluated, cleared, or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. No statement or claim made by NailScience, the Site, advertising materials, customer-service personnel, or any third party is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease, injury, or medical condition, including without limitation onychomycosis, paronychia, psoriasis, eczema, fungal or bacterial infection, or any disorder of the nail bed or surrounding skin. NailScience is offered as a general cosmetic and self-care product. Any use of the product for any other purpose is at your sole risk.

3. Results not typical; testimonials

Testimonials, reviews, before-and-after stories, customer quotes, and other endorsements on the Site or in advertising reflect individual experiences and are not representative of typical results. Many factors outside NailScience's control influence results, including age, lifestyle, underlying nail or skin condition, adherence to the recommended protocol, concurrent care, footwear, occupation, and natural variation. NailScience makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee, express or implied, that you will experience any specific result, benefit, or outcome. Any depiction of mechanism, anatomy, or before/after appearance is a simplified educational illustration, not a diagnostic image or a claim of effect in any specific user.

4. Who should NOT use NailScience

Do not use NailScience if any of the following applies to you. This list is illustrative and is not exhaustive. You are solely responsible for determining whether use of the product is safe for you.

• You have open wounds, cuts, abrasions, cracked skin, oozing lesions, blisters, burns, or active infection in or adjacent to the area of intended use.
