3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Please notify us immediately at privacy@bourbski.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

5. User-Generated Content

Bourbski allows you to submit content including tasting notes, bottle submissions, and profile information ("User Content"). You retain ownership of the content you create.

By submitting content to Bourbski, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, and store that content for the purpose of operating the app and its features.

Bottle catalog submissions: Bottle data you contribute to the community catalog (names, distillery info, photos, etc.) is shared with all users. If you delete your account, your bottle submissions remain in the catalog with your authorship removed, to preserve the catalog's integrity for the community.

You are responsible for the content you submit. Do not submit content you do not have the right to share.

6. Privacy

Your use of Bourbski is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7. Third-Party Services

Bourbski uses third-party services including Supabase for data storage and authentication, and UPCitemdb for barcode lookups. These services have their own terms and privacy policies, which govern their relationship with you independently of these Terms.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

Bourbski is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We make no warranties about the accuracy or completeness of the community bottle catalog.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bourbski and its creators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of (or inability to use) the app, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or your use of the app shall not exceed the greater of $100 USD or the amount you paid us in the past 12 months (which for a free app is $0).

10. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time from within the app. Deletion permanently removes your profile, shelf, pours, wishlist, and connections. See our Privacy Policy for details on what data is retained after deletion.

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account for violations of these Terms, at our sole discretion.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the applicable courts of the United States.
