Agreement and effective date

These Terms govern your access to and use of parffolio.com. By using the site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

These Terms take effect on 28 July 2026. The Community Guidelines, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy form part of the rules and notices applicable to the service.

Eligibility

You may browse public editorial pages without an account. You must be at least 16 to submit ratings or use another community feature. You must have legal capacity to agree to these Terms, or any permission required by law.

What Parffolio provides

Parffolio is independent fragrance media. It publishes editorial fragrance portraits, search and discovery tools, perfumer and note information, and community-generated ratings and preferences.

Parffolio does not sell fragrances. Unless expressly stated, it is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by a fragrance house, perfumer, retailer or trademark owner.

Information, not professional advice

Fragrance descriptions, performance observations and community ratings are subjective and informational. They are not medical, dermatological, allergy, safety, investment or purchasing advice.

Test products responsibly, follow manufacturer instructions and seek qualified advice for medical or allergy concerns. A screen cannot predict how a fragrance will perform on your skin.

Community features and rating controls

One visitor may maintain one current submission for each fragrance and supported rating metric, season, time-of-day preference or impression tag. A later submission may update the earlier value. Parffolio uses a signed pseudonymous first-party identifier and limited abuse controls; these measures reduce simple manipulation but cannot guarantee one human, one vote.

Ratings are community opinion, not verified purchase or verified wear. We may exclude duplicate, automated, coordinated or otherwise manipulated activity from records and aggregates. Follow the Community Guidelines.

Content you submit

You retain ownership of original content you submit. To operate and improve Parffolio, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, format, moderate and distribute that content in connection with the service.

The licence ends when content is deleted from active systems, except where copies remain temporarily in backups, retention is required for law or a dispute, or ratings have been irreversibly aggregated or de-identified. This clause also applies to comments or profiles if those features are introduced.

Your promises

You promise that your submissions are honest, lawful, your own or properly authorised, and do not infringe privacy, intellectual property or other rights. You will not conceal a relevant commercial relationship, impersonate another person, manipulate ratings, introduce malicious code or misuse reports.

Moderation, reports and appeals

We may review, restrict or remove submissions and participation where reasonably necessary for law, safety, service integrity or these Terms. Our options range from no action or an edit request to removal, temporary restriction or permanent restriction.

Report content or appeal a decision using the process in the Community Guidelines. We do not guarantee that all content is pre-screened.

Parffolio intellectual property

The Parffolio name, site design, code, original writing, layout, data presentation, graphics and editorial visualisations are protected by applicable rights. Except as law permits, you may not reproduce, republish, sell, frame or create a substitute service from a substantial part of the site without permission.

You may link to public pages and quote limited extracts with fair attribution where lawful.

Brands, product images and trademarks

Third-party names, bottle designs, trademarks and product imagery belong to their respective owners. Their presence identifies the subject of editorial coverage and does not imply affiliation or endorsement.

If you are a rights holder with a specific concern, email info@parffolio.com with the URL, work or right concerned, your basis for acting and sufficient contact information.

Automated access and scraping

Do not use bots, scrapers or automated tools to overload the service, bypass access controls, manipulate community features, collect personal data or reproduce a substantial part of Parffolio. Normal search-engine indexing and accessibility tools are permitted when they respect published technical instructions and do not harm the service.

Third-party links and services

Links to brands, sources or other sites are provided for context. Parffolio does not control their availability, content, privacy practices or transactions. Review their terms before using them.

Availability and changes to the service

We aim for a reliable service but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free availability. We may maintain, secure, redesign, add, remove or discontinue a feature. We will avoid materially reducing already-acquired mandatory consumer rights.

Disclaimers and liability

To the extent permitted by law, Parffolio is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not guarantee that editorial or community information is complete, current or suitable for a particular purchase or skin experience.

We are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss arising solely from reliance on subjective fragrance information, third-party services or circumstances beyond reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability or consumer remedy that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

Suspension and termination

You may stop using the service at any time. We may restrict community access where reasonably necessary for repeated or serious breach, legal compliance, security or protection of others. Where appropriate, we will consider proportionality and provide reasons and an appeal route.

Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Latvian law. Courts of Latvia have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory right of a consumer to rely on the law or courts of the country where that consumer habitually resides.

Before formal proceedings, please contact info@parffolio.com so we can try to resolve the matter. This does not remove a mandatory right to contact a regulator, dispute body or court.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for legal, security or service changes. The current version and effective date appear at the top. Material changes will not be applied retroactively where doing so would unlawfully reduce existing rights.
