# Terms of Service

Terms governing use of the Brewfather application, websites, subscriptions, content, integrations, and related services.

**Last updated: 19 October 2026**

{% hint style="info" %}
**In short.** This summary is not part of these Terms and is not binding. If it differs from the full Terms below, the full Terms apply.

* An agreement between you and Warpkode AS, the Norwegian company behind Brewfather.
* You must be at least 18 (older where the local age of majority is higher) and keep your sign-in details safe.
* Your content stays yours. You give us the licence we need to run and develop the Service. Recipes you make public can be copied by other users and featured by us (Sections 5 and 6).
* Calculations are estimates: check them before relying on them. Follow safe brewing practice and the alcohol laws where you live.
* Subscriptions renew until you cancel where you bought them. Refunds follow the [Refund Policy](/legal/refund-policy.md) and the law.
* No scraping: automated access only through our documented interfaces, under the [API Terms](/legal/api-terms-of-service.md).
* Competing brewing services get no permission to use Brewfather or its data. Your legal right to export or switch your own content is not affected.
* Review AI output, and what any AI agent you connect does for you.
* Norwegian law applies. Our liability is limited where the law allows, business users have time limits for claims, and consumers keep their mandatory rights.
  {% endhint %}

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between **Warpkode AS**, a Norwegian private limited company (*aksjeselskap*) registered in the Register of Business Enterprises (*Foretaksregisteret*) under organisation number **921 463 146** ("Brewfather", "we", "us", or "our") and the person or entity using Brewfather ("you" or "your").

You agree to these Terms when you create an account, click to accept them, buy a subscription, or otherwise access or use the Service after a reasonable opportunity to review them. If you use the Service for an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to everyone who accesses the Service, including public recipe and profile pages, shared links, the Library, and documentation, signed in or not. Our intellectual-property and database rights in Section 11 apply whether or not you have agreed to these Terms.

Nothing in these Terms takes away a right or remedy that the law does not allow to be excluded, restricted, or waived. Consumer rights vary by country and may apply in addition to these Terms.

## 1. The Service and related terms

"Service" means the Brewfather apps, websites, documentation, subscriptions, brewery workspaces, public Library and profiles, AI Brewing Assistant, file storage, APIs, MCP server and other AI-agent interfaces, webhooks, device and Connected App integrations, and related services that Warpkode AS operates.

Some terms apply only to consumers or only to business users. You are a **business user** if you use the Service in a business or professional capacity, unless the law treats you as a consumer.

These documents also form part of the agreement where relevant:

* the [Refund Policy](/legal/refund-policy.md), which supplements the subscription and refund terms below;
* the [API Terms of Service](/legal/api-terms-of-service.md), which govern all API and other programmatic access, including Connected Apps, MCP and other AI-agent access, webhooks, and device endpoints; and
* the [Mobile App License Notice](/legal/eula.md), which explains additional app-store terms.

A change to one of these documents takes effect as a change to these Terms does, unless that document expressly says otherwise. The [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy-policy.md) explains how we process personal data. It is a notice, not part of this agreement.

If documents conflict:

* the API Terms control for API Materials and API Data;
* store terms control the payment transaction to the extent Apple, Google, or the merchant of record requires;
* the Apple Standard EULA controls the licence for the Brewfather iOS app (Section 4); and
* a separate agreement signed by Warpkode AS controls to the extent it expressly says it overrides these Terms.

## 2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least **18 years old**, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, and have the legal capacity to enter this agreement.

You must:

* give accurate account information and keep it up to date;
* keep your sign-in details confidential; and
* tell us promptly at <hello@brewfather.app> if you suspect unauthorised access.

You may not sell, transfer, or share an account except through a feature or written arrangement that we expressly authorise. You are responsible for activity through your account to the extent the law allows.

The account holder is responsible for deciding who may access the account, its integrations, public links, and API credentials. If you administer an account for an organisation, you must have authority to provide its data and grant access on its behalf.

In a brewery workspace, we may treat the workspace owner shown in the Service as having authority over the workspace, its members, and its content. When a member leaves or is removed:

* recipes, batches, and other workspace records the member added stay in the workspace, and the member's licence in Section 5 continues for that content while it remains there; and
* the member's own AI conversations, AI suggestions, and notifications in that workspace are deleted.

We do not have to resolve a dispute between members or about who controls a workspace. If we receive conflicting instructions, we may pause ownership and membership changes until the parties agree in writing or a court decides.

You represent that you are not located, organised, or ordinarily resident in a country or region under comprehensive sanctions, and that neither you nor anyone who owns or controls you is on a sanctions list kept by Norway, the EU, the UK, the UN, or the US. You must not use the Service, or make it available to anyone, in breach of sanctions or export-control law. We may refuse, restrict, suspend, or end access where needed to comply with those laws, and will make a refund or other payment only when sanctions law permits it.

## 3. Plans, features, and usage limits

The Service and the [Subscription documentation](/account/subscription.md) show the current free and paid plans and their features, limits, prices, billing periods, AI-credit allocations, and file-storage allowances. Features may differ by platform, country, plan, or device.

Plan limits apply per account unless stated otherwise. You must not evade a feature, storage, credit, rate, trial, or account limit in any way, including by creating duplicate accounts, sharing credentials, manipulating usage records, or using automation. A trial is limited to the eligibility shown when it is offered, and we may withdraw it in case of abuse.

AI credits are a limited contractual right to use eligible AI features during the period shown in the Service. They are not money or stored value, have no cash value, cannot be transferred, and reset or expire as shown with the plan. This does not affect your mandatory rights.

## 4. Licence to use Brewfather

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable licence to access and use the Service for lawful personal or internal business brewing purposes for the term of your account or subscription. The licence gives you no ownership of the Service or of any Brewfather intellectual property.

For the Brewfather iOS app, Apple's [Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement](https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/) governs the app licence. These Terms govern the Brewfather online Service, your account, subscription, and User Content. You may use an Android or other authorised mobile app on devices you own or control, as these Terms and the applicable store usage rules permit. Open-source components remain subject to their own licences.

Unless mandatory law allows it or we give prior written permission, you must not:

* copy, republish, modify, translate, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the Service or of material from it, including documentation, reference databases, and other Brewfather content, except your own User Content and content expressly offered for sharing or redistribution;
* reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, or try to derive source code, non-public schemas, algorithms, or trade secrets;
* bypass authentication, security, payment, rate, storage, plan, privacy, or access controls;
* probe or test for vulnerabilities outside a written Brewfather security programme;
* introduce malicious code, disrupt or overload the Service, or interfere with another user;
* access another account or non-public data without authorisation;
* access or use the Service, or information from it, to build, benchmark, improve, or market a Competing Brewing Service, as defined in the [API Terms](/legal/api-terms-of-service.md), or to copy its features, design, or workflows for that purpose. This does not stop you from exporting or moving your own content as Sections 10 and 13 describe;
* use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, infringing, deceptive, harassing, or abusive activity; or
* remove proprietary notices or misrepresent an affiliation with or endorsement by Brewfather.

These Terms do not stop you from writing or publishing a review, rating, comparison, or performance assessment of Brewfather, including for a publisher or review site, unless it is knowingly false or misleading. This does not permit access or copying that these Terms otherwise prohibit.

## 5. Your content

"User Content" means recipes, batches, ingredients, profiles, readings, inventory, notes, messages, prompts, files, images, public-profile material, and other content you submit to or create in the Service. Section 11 covers feedback.

As between you and us, you keep ownership of your User Content. You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to submit it and to grant the licence below, and that our permitted use will not violate the law or anyone else's rights.

You grant Warpkode AS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, adapt for technical compatibility, transmit, process, back up, display, and otherwise use User Content, but only as reasonably necessary for the purposes below. The licence includes the right to use service providers and can be transferred only together with these Terms under Section 19. The purposes are to:

1. provide, operate, maintain, secure, support, measure, analyse, improve, and develop the Service, including its calculations, formulas, default and reference data, and the AI Brewing Assistant;
2. create, use, and publish aggregated or genuinely de-identified statistics and insights, for example in the Service, marketing, and research, as the Privacy Policy describes;
3. perform a feature you request, including exports, integrations, file previews, and AI processing; and
4. publish, distribute, and display User Content you deliberately make public, and let others view, copy, and adapt it as Section 6 describes, for as long as it stays public or as reasonably necessary to remove it from caches and backups. This includes showing it in the Library, search results, and recommendations, and featuring, excerpting, and linking to it, with your public name where practical, in the Service, our emails and social media, app-store listings, and other promotion of Brewfather.

The licence ends when the User Content is deleted from active systems, except to the limited extent that the content:

* remains in protected backups;
* has been shared or copied by others;
* must be kept by law;
* is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or
* has been turned into aggregated or genuinely de-identified information that no longer identifies you or reproduces your User Content in identifiable form.

You are responsible for keeping copies of important User Content. We provide the export and recovery features described in [Data Safety](/data-safety.md), but the Service is not a substitute for an independent backup.

## 6. Public sharing and content standards

If you publish a profile, recipe, link, or other User Content, anyone with access may be able to view, copy, download, or further share it. Publishing does not let anyone scrape, mine, or bulk-copy the Service; Sections 10 and 11 restrict that. Do not publish confidential information or personal data you are not authorised to disclose. Removing a public item stops future access through Brewfather where technically practicable, but cannot recall copies others have made.

When you make a recipe public, you also grant every Brewfather user a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and perpetual licence to do the following for their personal or internal brewing purposes, including a brewery's own production:

* view the recipe, including the text and images that are part of it;
* copy it into their own account;
* adapt it; and
* brew from it.

The licence does not cover your profile or other content that is not part of the recipe. A copy another user has made stays in their account if you later make the original private or delete it. If you exercise a right to have your personal data erased, we will remove your name from those copies as the law requires.

We decide which public content to show, rank, or feature. We may format, resize, crop, excerpt, or translate it, and show it without your name where the format makes attribution impractical, but we will not present it in a way that harms your reputation.

Public content comes from the users who publish it, and they are responsible for it. We do not verify its accuracy, safety, or lawfulness, and we are not responsible for it except where the law makes us responsible. Check a public recipe before you brew it.

You must not publish User Content that:

* is unlawful;
* infringes intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights;
* contains malware;
* impersonates another person; or
* is materially deceptive, threatening, hateful, or abusive.

We may remove, restrict, or preserve User Content where reasonably necessary to:

* enforce these Terms;
* comply with the law or a valid legal process;
* address a credible rights or safety complaint; or
* protect the Service or others.

We will consider the context and, where the law requires it, tell the affected user the reasons for a restriction and the available means of redress. We may withhold information where the law permits or requires it, including to protect an investigation, security, or another person's rights.

Anyone may report User Content they consider unlawful, including intellectual-property, privacy, safety, and other legal complaints, to <hello@brewfather.app>. The notice should give:

* the challenged material and where it is;
* why it is considered unlawful;
* the reporting person's contact details; and
* a good-faith statement that the information is accurate.

People review these reports. Publishing a recipe to the Library also goes through automated checks, for example for required recipe information, a matching style, and text we don't allow. A recipe that fails a check is not published, and the Service shows the reason. If you think a check is wrong, contact us at the same address.

We will process notices and give any required decision statement or redress information in the form and within the time the law requires. This email address is also our point of contact for users and authorities under the EU Digital Services Act. Notices and other communications about User Content may be written in English or Norwegian.

We suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe intellectual-property rights.

## 7. Third-party services, devices, and integrations

The Service may work with hardware, identity providers, payment platforms, app stores, websites, model providers, and third-party applications. Each third-party service has its own terms and privacy notice. We do not control and are not responsible for a third party's service, availability, security, accuracy, acts, omissions, or data practices.

When you enable an integration, you direct us to exchange the data and instructions it needs. Review the requested access and the third party's terms before you enable it. You can revoke a Connected App as described in [Connected Apps](/connected-apps.md). Revoking stops future access but does not delete data the third party already received.

If you connect an AI assistant, MCP client, or other AI agent, script, or automation to Brewfather, or give it an API key, you authorise it to act for you within the access you grant, and we may treat its requests as yours. AI agents can make mistakes or be manipulated by content they read. You are responsible for choosing the agent and its AI provider, for the instructions you give it, and for reviewing what it does. We are not responsible for changes to or loss of data made through access you granted, except where mandatory law makes us responsible. Data an agent reads is disclosed to its operator and AI provider under their terms. The [API Terms of Service](/legal/api-terms-of-service.md) explain the rules in more detail.

Third-party hardware and sensor readings can be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable. You remain responsible for safe equipment set-up, supervision, sanitation, ingredient handling, and brewing decisions. Do not use Brewfather, its notifications, or AI output as the only warning or safety control for equipment or a process that could cause injury, contamination, fire, flooding, property damage, or other material harm.

## 8. AI Brewing Assistant

The AI Brewing Assistant uses third-party AI services. As the [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy-policy.md) describes, it may process prompts, voice recordings you dictate, responses, recipe, batch, inventory, and other account or workspace context, feedback, files, and images. When you use web search, a search query based on your request is sent to the AI provider's search service. Do not submit personal data, confidential information, passwords, API keys, or third-party material unless you have authority to do so and accept the disclosed processing.

The AI Brewing Assistant can create or change recipes and other content at your request. Depending on the app version, a change may be applied directly or proposed for you to review and apply. You must not use the AI Brewing Assistant unlawfully, to infringe another person's rights, to generate abusive or harmful content, or to try to extract its instructions, credentials, or security controls.

AI output is probabilistic. It may be inaccurate, incomplete, unsafe, or similar to output given to others. It is not professional, health, safety, legal, or regulatory advice. You must review output and changes, and use independent judgment, before you rely on or apply them. You are responsible for your input and for deciding whether and how to use output. Rights in output, if any, depend on applicable law and the relevant third-party model terms.

Models, routes, features, limits, and output can change or become unavailable. We do not promise that a particular model or provider will remain available.

## 9. Subscriptions, payment, renewal, and cancellation

Paid subscriptions renew automatically for the billing period shown at purchase until cancelled. Automatic renewal applies only where the purchase or redemption process disclosed it and you agreed to it. Before you buy, the checkout or app store shows the price, billing frequency, renewal terms, and how to cancel. You authorise the seller or payment platform to charge your payment method for each renewal, including applicable taxes, until cancellation takes effect.

For web purchases, **Paddle is the merchant of record and seller for the payment transaction**. Older web subscriptions that we bill directly through Stripe are sold by Warpkode AS. For iOS and Android purchases, Apple or Google processes the transaction under its store terms, and RevenueCat may support mobile subscription and entitlement administration. Warpkode AS licenses and provides the Brewfather Service. Manage or cancel a subscription through the channel you bought it from, as described in the [Subscription documentation](/account/subscription.md).

Cancellation stops future renewals and normally takes effect at the end of the paid period. Unless the Service or mandatory law says otherwise, access continues until then. Deleting your Brewfather account does not necessarily cancel a subscription managed by Paddle, Apple, or Google, so cancel the subscription separately. App-store subscriptions must be cancelled before the store's deadline; for Apple, automatic renewal must be turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Before an annual subscription renews, we or the payment platform will email you at least 30 days in advance, with how to cancel it.

Prices and plan contents may change. We or the payment platform will give at least 30 days' notice of a price increase for an existing subscription, together with any other notice and consent the law requires. A change in applicable tax may change the total amount charged without that notice, to the extent the law permits. If you do not accept a change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

Renewal payments are non-refundable except as stated in the [Refund Policy](/legal/refund-policy.md) or required by mandatory law. The Refund Policy explains refunds, withdrawal rights, defective service, coupons, and platform-specific requests.

You keep all non-waivable rights and remedies under applicable law, including for non-conforming digital services, billing errors, unauthorised charges, and statutory withdrawal. Contacting us or the payment provider before a chargeback helps us investigate, but does not limit a lawful right to dispute a charge.

## 10. Automated access and Competing Brewing Services

You must not use automated means to access, extract, pull, copy, synchronise, or transfer data from the Service, except through an interface we document and authorise for that purpose, or a visit to a public page that Section 11 allows. Automated means include crawlers, scripts, headless browsers, AI agents that operate the user interface, shared credentials, undocumented or internal interfaces, and similar methods.

All programmatic access is governed by the [API Terms of Service](/legal/api-terms-of-service.md). A **Competing Brewing Service**, as defined there, receives **no permission or licence** under these Terms or the public API Terms to use the Service, API Materials, credentials, or data obtained from them to build, operate, improve, populate, or support competing brewing software. That includes migration, switching, bridging, mirroring, pulling, or ongoing synchronisation of Brewfather user data to a Competing Brewing Service. A user's consent or possession of credentials does not give contractual permission for that use; only a separate written agreement signed by Warpkode AS can.

This Section restricts automated access, including by automated services, Developers, and Applications, and applies to you when you use automated means. It does not stop you from:

* exporting your own User Content with the export features in the Service and taking the exported file anywhere, including importing it into another service;
* switching to another provider, or using another provider alongside Brewfather, under Section 13; or
* obtaining your own User Content through a right that mandatory law gives you, including retrieval on termination, data portability, and any statutory connected-product data-access right, whether you make the request yourself or through a representative you authorise.

These routes never include Brewfather Materials, other users' content, or your sign-in credentials. Except as Section 13 provides, they are separate from API licensing and give no other service or representative access to the Service or the API.

This Section sets the scope of our contractual permission and does not claim ownership of User Content. It does not require you to waive a right that mandatory law gives you, and a term in it has no effect to the extent it would. Every restriction in this Section applies only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable competition, data-access, consumer, and other mandatory law.

## 11. Brewfather intellectual property

Warpkode AS and its licensors keep all rights in the Service, including its software, interfaces, visual design, documentation, branding, compilations, and databases. We grant no licence by implication. You may not use "Brewfather" or associated marks in a company, product, domain, advertising keyword, or service name, or in a way that implies endorsement, without our prior written permission.

You may link to public Brewfather pages, but not in a way that suggests an affiliation with or endorsement by Brewfather, and not from content that is unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harmful to Brewfather's reputation. If we ask you to remove a link to the Service, you must remove it promptly.

To the extent database rights exist, Warpkode AS holds them in the Brewfather databases, based on its investment in obtaining, verifying, organising, and presenting their contents. Except to the extent mandatory law permits, you must not:

* extract or re-utilise all or a substantial part of a Brewfather database; or
* repeatedly and systematically extract or re-utilise insubstantial parts of it in a way that conflicts with normal use of the database or unreasonably harms our legitimate interests.

Warpkode AS reserves all rights it holds in the Service, its public pages, and Brewfather databases, including its database and compilation rights in the Library, to reproduce and extract them for text and data mining, including to train, fine-tune, or evaluate an artificial-intelligence model. This is an express reservation under Article 4(3) of Directive (EU) 2019/790 and any corresponding national law. We also make it in machine-readable form, including in robots.txt and in TDM reservation files and headers on our websites.

For User Content you make public, you authorise us to make the same reservation on your behalf. This does not stop you from licensing your own content to anyone. No one may use the Service or content obtained from it for those purposes without our prior written permission, except for your own User Content or to the extent mandatory law permits despite this reservation.

The reservation does not cover the help documentation at docs.brewfather.app. It also does not stop a search engine, or an AI search or assistant service, from visiting a public page as our robots.txt allows, to index it, show it in results, or answer a user's request with a link to the source. That permission does not extend to training or fine-tuning a model, or to bulk copying.

If you choose to give us ideas or feedback, you grant Warpkode AS a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable licence to use, copy, adapt, and exploit it for any purpose without restriction or compensation. Do not give feedback you are not authorised to license.

Warpkode AS may independently develop, acquire, or offer features, integrations, or products similar to or competing with any idea, integration, or application of yours, as long as we do not use your confidential information or infringe your rights to do so.

## 12. Service availability and changes

We may maintain, update, add, remove, or change features to:

* improve the Service;
* respond to law, security, abuse, or third-party changes;
* keep the Service technically or commercially viable; or
* develop the product.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, or that every feature, integration, format, or third-party dependency will be kept.

Features we label beta, preview, experimental, or early access may be incomplete, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and may not keep what you enter in them. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot recreate, and do not use them as a safety control. For business users, they are provided as is.

For an ongoing consumer contract, we will give notice of a more-than-minor adverse change on a durable medium, without additional cost, and explain its nature, timing, and valid reason. Where mandatory law requires it, we will give that notice at least 30 days in advance. A security, legal, abuse-prevention, or urgent operational change may take effect sooner only to the extent the law permits. Nothing in this Section reduces statutory conformity, update, repair, price-reduction, refund, or termination rights.

## 13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel a subscription at any time. [Account Deletion](/legal/account-deletion.md) explains how to delete your account.

If you are a consumer in Norway, the EEA, or the UK, mandatory law may entitle you, when the contract ends, to retrieve qualifying content you provided or created in Brewfather free of charge, without hindrance, within a reasonable time, and in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where that right applies and the in-app export is not available on your plan, email <hello@brewfather.app> and we will provide the qualifying export at no charge. Section 10 does not restrict this right, and this route gives no third party permission to use the Brewfather API.

If Regulation (EU) 2023/2854 (the **EU Data Act**) gives you switching rights, the terms at the end of this Section apply.

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access where reasonably necessary because of:

* a material or repeated breach;
* non-payment;
* fraud or chargeback abuse;
* a credible security, legal, or safety risk;
* harm to Brewfather, users, or third parties;
* a legal requirement; or
* discontinuation of the Service.

We will act proportionately and, where the circumstances and the law permit, give notice and a reasonable opportunity to put things right. We may act immediately for serious misconduct, unauthorised competitive access, fraud, security threats, or legal necessity. For a consumer, we may terminate for breach only where the law allows it; we may still restrict a particular feature, credential, or item of content as described above.

We may close a free account after at least 30 days' notice to the account email if it:

* has no active subscription;
* is not a member of a brewery workspace; and
* has not been signed in to for 24 months.

We may also end the free plan, or a free account, for any other reason on at least 60 days' notice. Before an account closes, you can export what your plan allows, or ask us for a copy where the law gives you that right. If we end your account for a material or repeated breach, you must not open a new account without our written permission.

If we terminate a paid consumer subscription for any reason other than your breach, fraud, or abuse, we will refund the prepaid amount for the period after termination, unless the same entitlement continues through the paid period. We will also provide any further refund, price reduction, or remedy that the [Refund Policy](/legal/refund-policy.md) or mandatory law requires. Termination does not affect payment obligations or rights that have already accrued.

After termination, your licence ends and you must stop using the affected Service. These survive termination:

* the provisions on ownership, public copies, feedback, accrued payments, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, and disputes;
* the licences you grant in Sections 5 and 6, for as long as those Sections provide;
* the restrictions in Sections 4, 10, and 11; and
* any other provision that by its nature should survive.

Those restrictions continue to apply to content and data you obtained from the Service, other than your own User Content, for as long as you keep or use them, and to any later access by you or on your behalf.

### Switching to another provider under the EU Data Act

These terms apply where the EU Data Act gives you the right to switch to another provider or to your own systems, to use another provider alongside Brewfather, or to have your exportable data erased:

1. **Request and notice.** You can ask to switch to another provider of a comparable service or to your own systems, or to have your exportable data erased, by emailing <hello@brewfather.app>. The notice period is two months from when we receive your request, or shorter if we agree. By the end of the notice period, tell us whether you are switching to another provider (and give its details), switching to your own systems, or want your exportable data erased.
2. **Transition.** We will complete the switch without undue delay and within 30 days after the notice period ends. We do this by making your exportable data available to you or the destination provider you name through the export interface we document for switching, which we provide free of charge to you and to the destination provider. If 30 days is technically unfeasible, we will tell you within 14 working days after your request, explain why, and propose an alternative period of no more than seven months. You may extend the transition period once, for a period you consider more appropriate.
3. **During the transition** we will:
   * continue to provide the Service under these Terms with due care;
   * give you, and the destination provider you authorise, reasonable assistance;
   * tell you about known risks to continuity on our side;
   * maintain a high level of security for your data, including during transfer and the retrieval period; and
   * support your exit strategy and, on request, give you all relevant information for it, including export formats, data structures, and known limitations.
4. **Exportable data** is the following data and digital assets, provided in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format together with the metadata we store with them, such as identifiers and creation and change times. This is the complete list of what can be switched:
   * your account profile, settings, and preferences, including the settings of your integrations, webhooks, Custom Endpoint, and device logging, without secret keys or tokens;
   * recipes, including their versions and the values Brewfather computes for them;
   * batches, including brew and fermentation data, notes, measurements, and device and sensor readings;
   * inventory and stock records;
   * equipment, mash, fermentation, water, style, and other profiles you create;
   * files, images, and attachments you upload;
   * AI Brewing Assistant conversations stored in Brewfather;
   * the content of a brewery workspace you own; and
   * any other data you provided or created in the Service that we store for your account, except what item 5 excludes.
5. **Not exportable.** We will not use these exclusions to impede or delay a switch. The following is excluded because it is protected intellectual property or a trade secret of Warpkode AS or a third party, or is specific to the internal functioning of the Service:
   * Brewfather's software, source code, algorithms, formulas, AI instructions, and model and system configuration;
   * Brewfather Materials, as defined in the API Terms, and other reference databases and default data;
   * other users' content; and
   * security, fraud-prevention, abuse-detection, and rate-limiting records, credentials, and signing keys.
6. **Retrieval and erasure.** You will have at least 30 days after the transition period ends to retrieve your data. We will fully erase the exportable data and digital assets you generated or that relate directly to you, subject to the backup cycle and legal retention described in [Account Deletion](/legal/account-deletion.md):
   * when that retrieval period ends, provided the switch has been completed; or
   * at the end of the notice period, if you chose erasure without switching.
7. **End of the contract.** The contract for the affected Service ends, and we will notify you that it has ended, when the switch is completed or, if you chose erasure without switching, at the end of the notice period.
8. **Charges.** We do not charge for switching or for export under this Section. Ending the contract by switching or erasure does not by itself entitle you to a refund of fees already paid for the current period, except where the [Refund Policy](/legal/refund-policy.md) or mandatory law provides otherwise.
9. **Using another provider alongside Brewfather.** You may use another provider alongside Brewfather and export your data for it through the same export interface, free of charge. A destination provider receives only the permission Section 10 of the [API Terms](/legal/api-terms-of-service.md) gives for a switch. Neither a switch nor parallel use gives a provider ongoing access, synchronisation, or any other licence under the API Terms.
10. **Information.** We publish on our website, and keep up to date, the structures and formats of exportable data, the jurisdictions whose law applies to the infrastructure we use to process your data, and the measures we take against unlawful government access to it.

## 14. Disclaimer of warranties

Brewing calculations, numbers, and information in the Service are estimates for informational and educational purposes. Results vary with equipment, ingredients, and process, and you are responsible for verifying them before you rely on them. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or suitable for your equipment, ingredients, process, legal requirements, or intended result.

Brewing can involve pressurised vessels, bursting bottles, carbon dioxide, hot liquids, electricity, and hazardous chemicals. Follow equipment instructions and safe practice, and check measurements, units, fermentation completion, and carbonation before bottling, kegging, or pressurising.

You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you on alcohol production, distillation, licensing, excise duty, labelling, sale, supply, and drinking age. Alcohol content and other values in the Service are estimates and do not replace testing, records, or professional assessment that the law requires.

If you are a business user, then to the fullest extent the law permits, the Service and all output, estimates, calculations, content, integrations, and information are provided **"as is"** and **"as available"**, and we disclaim all warranties, representations, guarantees, and conditions not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and compatibility.

If you are a consumer, you have the statutory rights for a digital service that does not conform to the contract, and nothing in this Section limits them. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or guarantee that cannot lawfully be excluded.

## 15. Limitation of liability

### 15.1 Liabilities that are not limited

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where mandatory law prohibits that exclusion or limitation. This includes liability for:

* fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
* wilful misconduct;
* gross negligence;
* death or personal injury caused by negligence, where that liability cannot be limited; and
* non-waivable consumer remedies.

Where a jurisdiction does not allow a particular exclusion or cap, that limitation applies only to the maximum extent permitted there.

### 15.2 Excluded loss for business users

This Section 15.2 applies if you are a business user. Subject to Section 15.1 and to the fullest extent the law permits, we are liable only for direct loss for which applicable law makes us liable, and that liability is subject to Section 15.3. **We will not be liable for any other loss or damage of any kind, on any legal basis, including negligence.** Nothing in this Section creates a cause of action or liability that would not otherwise exist under applicable law.

In particular, Warpkode AS and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and suppliers will not be liable for:

* indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss;
* loss of profit, revenue, production, business, opportunity, goodwill, anticipated savings, or data;
* business interruption;
* costs of substitute services; or
* damage arising from third-party services, integrations, hardware, AI output, AI agents, user instructions, or a failure to keep an independent backup.

### 15.3 Liability cap for business users

If you are a business user, then to the fullest extent the law permits, the total liability of Warpkode AS and the persons listed in Section 15.2, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, under all legal theories and for all events in any rolling 12-month period, will not exceed the greater of:

* **EUR 100**; and
* the amount you paid for the affected Brewfather Service in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.

The cap does not apply to a liability listed in Section 15.1. These allocations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose, and they reflect that Brewfather includes free and low-cost plans.

### 15.4 Consumers

If you are a consumer, Sections 15.2 and 15.3 do not apply to you; this Section 15.4 applies instead. Our liability for loss is determined by applicable law. Subject to Section 15.1 and your mandatory rights, we are not responsible for:

* loss that we could not reasonably have foreseen, when the contract was made, as a possible result of our breach;
* business losses, such as loss of profit, revenue, production, or business opportunity, because you use the Service as a consumer;
* loss caused by a delay that results from an obstacle outside our control, which we could not reasonably have been expected to take into account when the contract was made, or to avoid or overcome. This does not limit our responsibility for a Service that does not conform to the contract;
* loss caused by third-party services, hardware, integrations, or AI agents you choose to use or connect, or by instructions you give them, except to the extent we caused it. Providers we use to supply the Service, such as our hosting and AI providers, are not third parties for this purpose; or
* loss or corruption of data to the extent it results from your failure to take reasonable steps to protect it, such as keeping a reasonably recent copy with the export available to you, as Section 5 asks. Not having a copy reduces our responsibility only to that extent, and does not by itself remove our responsibility for loss we cause.

Nothing in this Section limits your mandatory rights and remedies, including for a service that does not conform to the contract. Nothing in Section 15 limits your duty to mitigate loss.

### 15.5 Time limit for business claims

If you are a business user, you lose a claim against us, or against a person listed in Section 15.2, unless you:

1. give us written notice of the claim, describing it in reasonable detail, within six months after you became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the circumstances giving rise to it; and
2. start legal proceedings within 12 months after giving that notice.

Email to <hello@brewfather.app> is written notice. The 12 months are extended by any time during which we are negotiating the claim with you in writing. This Section never extends a limitation period that would otherwise apply. It does not apply to a liability listed in Section 15.1, or where we concealed the circumstances giving rise to the claim or acted in bad faith.

## 16. Business-user indemnity

If you are a business user, then to the fullest extent the law permits, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Warpkode AS and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and suppliers from third-party claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, costs, and reasonable legal fees arising from:

* your User Content;
* your products, services, integrations, or use of the Service;
* your breach of these Terms; or
* your violation of the law or another person's rights.

We will notify you of a covered claim within a reasonable time; a delay relieves you only to the extent it materially prejudices your defence. You may control the defence and settlement with counsel reasonably acceptable to us, and we will reasonably cooperate at your expense. We may take part with our own counsel at our own expense. We may take over the defence, with you remaining responsible under this Section, if you do not defend the claim diligently or the claim concerns our intellectual property, a regulator or other authority, or relief against us other than money. If we take over because you did not defend diligently, you will also pay our reasonable defence costs. You may not admit fault by Warpkode AS or impose an obligation on it without our prior written consent, which we will not unreasonably withhold.

This indemnity does not apply to consumers, or to the extent a claim was caused by Warpkode AS's unlawful conduct.

If you are a consumer, you remain responsible under applicable law for loss you cause Warpkode AS or others by breaching these Terms or misusing the Service.

## 17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms for a valid legal, regulatory, security, technical, operational, product, or business reason. The current version is published at [docs.brewfather.app/legal/tos](https://docs.brewfather.app/legal/tos). It replaces any earlier version, including a copy shown in an older version of the app, subject to the notice and acceptance this Section describes.

We will give reasonable advance notice of a material adverse change, through the Service or by email to your account address, or by another durable method where the law requires it. Urgent legal, security, or abuse-prevention changes may take effect sooner. We may require you to accept updated Terms, for example in the app, before you continue to use the Service.

For a material change to an ongoing consumer contract, we will identify the change and the reason for it, give the notice and termination rights the law requires, and ask for your affirmative acceptance where the law requires it. If you do not agree, you must stop using the affected Service and cancel before the change takes effect. Continued use counts as acceptance only where the law recognises that method after adequate notice.

## 18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Service, including non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by the laws of Norway, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Norway have exclusive jurisdiction, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

If you are a business user:

* the agreed venue is the district court for Warpkode AS's registered office when the proceedings start;
* Warpkode AS may also bring proceedings against you in the courts of the place where you are domiciled when the proceedings start. A company or other legal person is domiciled where it has its statutory seat, central administration, or principal place of business;
* if Warpkode AS's option to sue where you are domiciled is invalid in a particular case, the proceedings must be brought at the agreed venue, and the rest of this Section still applies; and
* either party may ask any competent court for urgent interim or protective measures.

If you are a consumer, this choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections under the law that would apply without the choice. If mandatory consumer-jurisdiction law lets you sue in the courts where you live, you may do so, and Warpkode AS will bring proceedings against you only in a court that law permits. You may also contact the consumer-protection or dispute-resolution body available in your country. This Section does not require arbitration or waive a lawful right to take part in a collective or representative action.

Before filing a claim, the parties should try in good faith to resolve it by contacting <hello@brewfather.app>. This informal step does not by itself shorten or suspend a limitation period.

## 19. General

**Interpretation.** "Including" and similar words, such as "for example", mean "including without limitation". The summary at the top of these Terms and the headings are for convenience only and do not affect the meaning of these Terms. If we provide these Terms in another language, the English version controls to the extent the law allows. A reference to a law includes that law as amended or replaced.

**Assignment and subcontractors.** You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or as part of a merger, reorganisation, financing, sale of assets, or transfer of the Brewfather business, provided consumer rights are not reduced contrary to law. We may use subcontractors and other service providers to provide the Service, perform our obligations, and exercise our rights under these Terms.

**Events beyond our control.** We are not liable for a failure or delay caused by an event beyond our reasonable control, such as natural disaster, epidemic, war, terrorism, civil disorder, government action, labour dispute, cyberattack, or a failure of utilities, networks, hosting, payment systems, or other third-party services we rely on. We will use reasonable efforts to limit the effect and resume performance, and may suspend affected parts of the Service while the event continues. This does not affect Section 15.4 or a consumer's mandatory rights, including any right to a refund or price reduction for a service not supplied.

**Severability.** If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the rest of these Terms remains in effect. For a business user, the provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. A term that is unfair to a consumer does not bind the consumer and will not be rewritten to make it enforceable.

**No waiver; relationship.** A failure or delay in enforcing a provision is not a waiver. These Terms do not create a partnership, employment, fiduciary, franchise, or agency relationship.

**Notices and records.** We may give you notices by email to your account address, in the Service, or, for notices to all users, by posting them in the Service. Keep your account email up to date. Where the law requires individual delivery or a durable medium, we will meet that requirement. You agree to enter into these Terms and to receive notices and records electronically.

If you are a business user:

* an email notice is given when we send it, unless we receive a message that it could not be delivered; and
* our system records of account activity, acceptance of terms, API requests, and transactions are evidence of what they record, unless you show that they are inaccurate.

**Set-off.** If you are a business user, then to the extent the law permits, we may set off amounts you owe us under these Terms against amounts we owe you, and you must pay us in full, without set-off or deduction.

**Third-party rights.** Except for the rights of the protected Warpkode AS persons expressly identified in Sections 15 and 16, no one who is not a party has a right to enforce these Terms. Those protected persons are intended beneficiaries of Sections 15 and 16 to the extent the law permits.

**Entire agreement.** These Terms and the incorporated documents are the entire agreement about the Service and replace prior terms on the same subject. If you are a business user, you have not relied on any statement, promise, or representation that is not set out in these Terms, the incorporated documents, or the plan and purchase information described in Sections 3 and 9, and you have no remedy for one, except for fraud. A waiver or individually negotiated amendment must be in writing by an authorised Warpkode AS representative.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.brewfather.app/legal/tos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
