Self Vibe Terms of Service - Full Version
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Self Vibe platform and services. By using Self Vibe, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
Self Vibe is operated by Vibelabs Group Limited, registered in Ghana ("Self Vibe","we", "us"). We provide digital marketplace and business-management services for independent beauty and wellness professionals. Features are available only where enabled and may differ between the customer and partner applications.
Key Terms
Platform
The Self Vibe website, mobile applications, and related digital services that connect clients with beauty and wellness professionals.
Partners
Independent beauty and wellness professionals, salons, spas, and clinics who offer services through our platform.
Clients
Users who book appointments or purchase services from Partners through the Self Vibe platform.
Services
Beauty, wellness, and health treatments offered by Partners, including but not limited to hair care, skincare, massage, fitness, and medical consultations.
Our Services
Self Vibe provides a digital marketplace platform that enables:
- Discovery of beauty and wellness professionals across African markets
- Online booking and appointment scheduling
- Secure payment processing using local and international payment methods
- Customer reviews and ratings, which are not a guarantee of service quality
- Customer support and dispute resolution
- Business management tools for Partners
- Marketing and promotional services
Important: Self Vibe acts as an intermediary platform. We do not directly provide beauty or wellness services. All treatments and services are provided by independent Partners.
Business Accounts and Partner Terms
If you use Self Vibe for Partners or our business website, the Partner Terms also apply. They cover workspace setup, listing review, staff access, transaction fees, payment settlement, product sales, AI-assisted content and workspace deletion.
Account registration does not automatically publish a listing. Businesses must complete setup and submit their listing for review. Customer discovery requires an approved listing that is also listed. Approval does not certify a partner's qualifications or guarantee its services.
Self Vibe does not currently charge business subscription fees, supply payment terminals or provide product delivery. Where online product orders are enabled, collection is from the partner.
Our Partners' Services
Our Partners offer a wide range of services across Africa, including:
- Hair Services: Cuts, styling, coloring, treatments, braiding, and specialized African hair care
- Beauty Services: Makeup, facials, skincare treatments, eyebrow and lash services
- Wellness Services: Massage therapy, spa treatments, aromatherapy, reflexology
- Fitness Services: Personal training, yoga, pilates, group fitness classes
- Medical Services: Dermatology, cosmetic procedures, health consultations
- Nail Services: Manicures, pedicures, nail art, gel and acrylic applications
Each Partner sets their own prices, policies, and service standards. We encourage you to review Partner profiles, ratings, and policies before booking.
Using the Self Vibe Platform
To use Self Vibe effectively and safely:
- Create an account with accurate, up-to-date information
- Keep your login credentials secure and don't share your account
- Use the platform only for legitimate bookings and communications
- Respect Partners' time by arriving punctually for appointments
- Follow Partners' specific policies and guidelines
- Provide honest, constructive reviews and ratings
- Report any issues or concerns to our support team
Prohibited Activities: You may not use our platform for illegal activities, spam, harassment, or any behavior that violates these Terms or applicable laws.
Providing Accurate Information
Accurate information is essential for a smooth booking experience:
- Personal Details: Provide correct name, phone number, and email address
- Health Information: Disclose relevant allergies, medical conditions, or sensitivities
- Service Preferences: Clearly communicate your needs and expectations
- Special Requirements: Inform Partners of any accessibility needs or special requests
Providing false or misleading information may result in service refusal, appointment cancellation, or account suspension.
How to Make an Appointment / Order
Booking through Self Vibe is designed to be simple and secure:
- Browse and Search: Find Partners by location, service type, availability, or ratings
- Select Services: Choose specific treatments, add-ons, and preferred time slots
- Review Details: Confirm service details, pricing, and Partner policies
- Provide Information: Enter required personal and health information
- Payment: Choose an available online payment, deposit or pay-at-venue option
- Confirmation: Check the booking status shown in the platform; notifications may also be sent
An online payment may need verification before a booking is confirmed. A pending payment is not confirmation. Pay-at-venue bookings do not require an online payment where that option is offered. Partners may contact you directly about the booking. Notification delivery is not guaranteed.
Vouchers Issued by Our Partners
Many Partners offer vouchers and gift certificates through Self Vibe:
- Purchase: Buy vouchers for yourself or as gifts for others
- Validity: Check expiration dates and usage terms before purchasing
- Redemption: Use vouchers during the booking process or present at appointment
- Restrictions: Some vouchers may have limitations on services, dates, or Partners
- Refunds: Voucher refund policies are set by individual Partners
Vouchers are subject to Partner-specific terms and conditions. Self Vibe facilitates voucher sales but is not responsible for Partner voucher policies.
Promo Codes Issued by Our Partners
Partners and Self Vibe may offer promotional codes for discounts and special offers:
- Application: Enter promo codes during checkout to receive discounts
- Eligibility: Codes may be limited to new users, specific services, or time periods
- Combination: Multiple promo codes typically cannot be combined unless specified
- Expiration: All promo codes have expiration dates and usage limits
- Abuse: Fraudulent use of promo codes may result in account suspension
Self Vibe reserves the right to modify, suspend, or cancel promotional offers at any time without prior notice.
Paying for a Partner Service
Use the payment methods offered for your booking or order. Current online payments use Paystack:
- Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, and local bank cards
- Mobile Money: Available Ghanaian mobile money channels shown at checkout
- Cash Payments: Some Partners may accept cash payments at the venue
Payment Processing: Online payments are processed by Paystack and are subject to verification and its applicable terms. Do not send full card details or passwords to Self Vibe support.
Currency: Ghana transactions are charged in Ghana cedis (GHS). Your bank or payment provider may charge its own conversion costs when you pay from a different currency.
Appointment Changes and Cancellations
Flexibility is important, but Partners need adequate notice for changes:
Client-Initiated Changes
- Cancellation Window: Follow the partner's cancellation policy disclosed before booking
- Late Cancellation: A deposit may be retained only as permitted by the disclosed policy and applicable law
- No-Show: A missed appointment may affect deposit eligibility under the disclosed policy; it does not authorise an undisclosed charge
- Rescheduling: Subject to partner availability and the policy disclosed when you booked
Partner-Initiated Changes
- Partners must provide reasonable notice for cancellations or rescheduling
- If a partner cannot fulfil a paid booking, contact the partner or Self Vibe support to arrange the applicable refund
- Alternative appointment times should be offered when possible
- Emergency cancellations (illness, etc.) are handled case-by-case
Product Refunds and Cancellations
Partners are responsible for the services and products they sell. Refund and return policies must be disclosed and must not remove statutory rights. Online product orders, where enabled, are pickup only:
- Service Refunds: Based on Partner policies and timing of cancellation
- Product Orders: Check stock, collection instructions and the partner's lawful returns policy before ordering. Choose online payment or payment on collection where offered.
- Problems: Contact the partner promptly about missing, incorrect, defective or unfulfilled orders; contact Self Vibe support if you need help
- Processing Time: Refund availability and processing time depend on the payment method, processor and bank; a cancellation status alone does not confirm a refund
- Dispute Resolution: Unresolved issues can be escalated to Self Vibe support
Important: Online refunds follow the payment processor's supported process. Refunds for cash or other payments collected directly by a partner must be arranged with that partner. Any non-refundable fee must be disclosed and permitted by applicable law.
Restrictions on Access
To maintain a safe and professional environment, we may restrict access for:
- Policy Violations: Repeated violations of these Terms or Partner policies
- Fraudulent Activity: Suspicious payment activity or identity fraud
- Inappropriate Behavior: Harassment, discrimination, or unprofessional conduct
- No-Show Pattern: Excessive missed appointments without proper cancellation
- Chargebacks: Excessive payment disputes or chargebacks
Account restrictions may be temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the violation. Users have the right to appeal restrictions through our support team.
Liability
Understanding liability is important for all platform users:
Self Vibe's Liability
- We are responsible for platform functionality and payment processing
- We provide customer support and dispute resolution services
- We maintain data security and privacy protection measures
- We are NOT responsible for the quality, safety, or outcomes of Partner services
Partner Liability
- Partners are fully responsible for their services, equipment, and premises
- Partners must maintain appropriate insurance and professional qualifications
- Partners are liable for any injuries, damages, or adverse reactions during services
- Partners must comply with local health and safety regulations
Client Responsibilities
- Provide accurate health information and disclose relevant conditions
- Follow Partner instructions and aftercare advice
- Report any concerns or adverse reactions immediately
- Understand that beauty and wellness treatments carry inherent risks
Indemnity
By using Self Vibe, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from:
- Your use of the platform or services obtained through it
- Your violation of these Terms or applicable laws
- Your interactions with Partners or other users
- Any content you submit or transmit through our platform
- Your breach of any third-party rights
This indemnification survives termination of your account and these Terms.
Ending These Terms of Service
These Terms remain in effect until terminated by either party:
Termination by You
- Delete your account through account settings
- Contact customer support to request account closure
- Stop using the platform (though Terms remain applicable to past use)
Termination by Self Vibe
- Immediate termination for serious violations or illegal activity
- 30-day notice for general business reasons or platform changes
- Temporary suspension pending investigation of reported issues
Effects of Termination
- Loss of access to platform features and account data
- Contact partners about outstanding appointments and orders; account closure alone does not confirm cancellation or a refund
- Retention of certain data for legal and business purposes
- Survival of payment obligations and liability provisions
For partners, unlisting and workspace deletion are different from personal account deletion. Deleting a workspace does not delete owner or staff accounts and does not automatically refund outstanding payments. See the Partner Terms before deleting a workspace.
General
These general provisions apply to all aspects of your relationship with Self Vibe.
Platform Fees
Self Vibe does not currently charge business subscription fees. Online transaction fees are separate from the price of a partner's services or products. Amounts for Ghana transactions are in Ghana cedis (GHS).
| Transaction | Business platform fee | Customer processing fee |
|---|---|---|
| Appointment deposit | 4.5% of the deposit + GHS 1 booking fee | 2% of the deposit |
| Appointment paid in full | 1% of the service amount + GHS 1 booking fee | 2% of the service amount |
| Online appointment balance | 1% of the remaining balance; no second booking fee | 2% of the remaining balance |
| Gift card or customer membership purchase, where enabled | 3% of the purchase amount | 2% of the purchase amount |
| Online pickup product order, where enabled | 5% of the order amount; no fixed booking fee | 2% of the order amount |
The business platform fee is deducted from the amount payable to the business. The customer processing fee is added to the amount charged to the customer. Fees are rounded to the nearest pesewa. The GHS 1 appointment booking fee is part of the business platform fee, not an additional customer charge.
Pay-at-venue appointments and pay-on-collection product orders do not use this online payment fee schedule. Any separate fee must be disclosed before it applies. Earlier payments may have been made under an earlier fee schedule; their recorded payment breakdown continues to apply.
Review the fee breakdown and final amount shown before confirming payment. A displayed discount or separately agreed business rate may differ from these standard rates. Changes to fees will be communicated before they apply to new payments. Customer memberships are services sold by partners, not subscriptions to Self Vibe's business software.
All fees are transparently displayed before payment confirmation. We do not charge hidden fees to clients.
Assignment
Self Vibe may assign these Terms and our rights and obligations to third parties in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent.
Notices
We will send important notices to the email address associated with your account. You are responsible for keeping your contact information current. Notices are considered delivered when sent to your last known email address.
You may send legal notices to Self Vibe at legal@selfvibe.io.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms for specific services, constitute the entire agreement between you and Self Vibe. They supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
Enforcement & Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision does not waive our right to enforce it later.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ghana. Disputes may be brought before a competent court in Ghana, subject to any mandatory right to seek a remedy elsewhere. Contact Self Vibe support first where appropriate; this does not prevent you from exercising a legal right or seeking a remedy through a competent authority or court.
For users in other African countries, local consumer protection laws may also apply and take precedence where they provide greater protection.
Interpretation
In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise:
- Singular includes plural and vice versa
- References to persons include individuals, companies, and other entities
- Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation
- Examples are illustrative and not exhaustive
Updating the Service and These Terms of Service
We continuously improve Self Vibe and may update these Terms to reflect:
- New features and services
- Changes in applicable laws and regulations
- Enhanced security and privacy measures
- Improved user experience and platform functionality
We will notify you of material changes via email, platform notifications, or prominent website notices. Continued use of Self Vibe after changes constitutes acceptance of updated Terms.
