Welcome to My Brewing Buddy. These Terms of Service explain the rules for using the My Brewing Buddy website, recipe builder, Brew Buddy assistant, account features, and related services. By using My Brewing Buddy, you agree to these terms.

About My Brewing Buddy

My Brewing Buddy provides homebrewing recipe tools, brewing calculators, reference pages, help articles, saved recipe features, and an assistant designed to help users learn about brewing, recipe building, and site navigation.

Accounts and Sign-In

Some features require an account, including saving and managing recipes. You are responsible for keeping your account login information secure and for activity that occurs under your account.

If My Brewing Buddy offers Google sign-in or another third-party sign-in option, that sign-in method is provided to help you access your My Brewing Buddy account. Your use of Google or any other third-party sign-in service is also subject to that provider’s own terms and privacy practices.

You agree to provide accurate account information and to contact us if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

Recipe Builder and Saved Recipes

You may create, save, edit, and manage recipes using My Brewing Buddy tools. You are responsible for reviewing your recipes, measurements, ingredients, calculations, process notes, and safety considerations before using them.

Brewing calculations, ingredient estimates, recipe suggestions, and generated recipes are provided for planning and educational use. They may contain errors or may not match your equipment, ingredients, local laws, or brewing conditions.

Brew Buddy Assistant

Brew Buddy is an assistant that can answer brewing questions, help find My Brewing Buddy pages, explain brewing terms, and generate recipe suggestions. Assistant responses may be produced using automated tools or AI services.

Brew Buddy may provide helpful guidance, but it is not a substitute for your own judgment, safe brewing practices, legal compliance, professional advice, or manufacturer instructions. Always review assistant answers before relying on them.

Distillation and Legal Compliance

My Brewing Buddy may include distillation-related references or recipe categories. Distillation laws vary by location. You are responsible for understanding and following all laws, permits, safety requirements, and regulations that apply to you.

Do not use My Brewing Buddy to request, create, or follow instructions for unsafe, unlawful, or unauthorized activity.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse My Brewing Buddy. This includes attempting to disrupt the website, access accounts or data without permission, upload malicious content, scrape or overload the service, bypass security controls, violate laws, infringe intellectual property rights, harass others, or use the site for fraudulent or harmful activity.

User Content

Recipes, notes, messages, and other content you submit remain your responsibility. By submitting content to My Brewing Buddy, you give My Brewing Buddy permission to store, process, display, and use that content as needed to provide the website features you choose to use.

Please do not submit content that you do not have the right to use or content that is unlawful, harmful, or inappropriate.

Intellectual Property

The My Brewing Buddy website, design, branding, software, page content, calculators, and related materials are owned by My Brewing Buddy or its licensors unless otherwise stated. You may use the website for personal, non-commercial brewing and educational purposes. You may not copy, resell, or redistribute substantial portions of the website or software without permission.

Privacy

Your use of My Brewing Buddy is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how information is collected, used, stored, and shared.

No Warranties

We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue parts of My Brewing Buddy at any time. We may also update these Terms of Service from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the effective date on this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
