These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the websites iNKPPL.com and iNKPPL.ru and any related subdomains, mobile versions, applications or services (collectively, the “Site” or “Service”).

The Site is operated by Individual Entrepreneur Alexander Ledovskikh, a sole proprietor registered under the laws of Georgia, Tbilisi (the “Global Operator”, “iNKPPL”, “we”, “us”, “our”).

Registered address (Global Operator):
Georgia, Tbilisi, Chugureti district, Mikheil Tsinamdashvili st. 52 /

For certain services and for Users located in the Russian Federation, iNKPPL may cooperate with Individual Entrepreneur Alexander Ledovskikh (Russian Federation), acting as a local representative and payment partner (the “Russian Representative”). The Russian Representative assists with local operations (including billing, support and compliance) for Users in Russia. Unless expressly stated otherwise, your contractual relationship for the use of the Site is with the Global Operator, and the Russian Representative acts solely as our local service and billing partner, except where mandatory Russian law requires otherwise.

For Users located in the Russian Federation, additional Russian-language Site Rules apply (“Russian Terms”), available at:
https://inkppl.com/terms
In case of any conflict between these Terms and the Russian Terms, the Russian Terms will prevail for Users located in the Russian Federation to the extent required by mandatory Russian law.

1. About iNKPPL

1.1. iNKPPL Tattoo Magazine is an international online project that combines:

an online magazine about tattoo culture;
directories of tattoo artists, tattoo studios, tattoo models and tattoo companies;
an international tattoo event calendar;
other informational and editorial services related to tattoo culture.

1.2. The Site and all related services are intended solely for informational and editorial purposes. iNKPPL does not provide medical, legal, or financial advice and does not operate as an employment agency, intermediary, booking service, talent agent, representative or legal advisor for artists, studios, models, brands, event organizers or Users.

1.3. Global Operator and local representatives.
The Global Operator (the Georgian individual entrepreneur identified above) is the primary owner and operator of the Site and its intellectual property, including the domain names iNKPPL.com and iNKPPL.ru. iNKPPL may appoint local partners, resellers or representatives in certain countries (for example, the Russian Representative for Users in the Russian Federation) to assist with marketing, billing, support or other local operations. These partners act on behalf of the Global Operator within the scope of their mandate and do not become independent operators of the Site. Where such partners are involved, this does not change that:

these Terms govern your use of the Site; and
the main service provider and rights holder with respect to the Site remains the Global Operator, except where mandatory local laws (such as Russian consumer and data protection laws) require otherwise.

1.4. For Users located in the Russian Federation, the Russian Terms supplement these Terms. In case of discrepancy or conflict, the Russian Terms prevail to the extent they implement mandatory provisions of Russian law.
