Terms of Service

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Coffee & Tea Culture (the "site"). By visiting or using the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Using the site

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and read the site for your own non-commercial use. You agree to use the site lawfully and not to:

• Disrupt the site: Interfere with, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers, or its networks.
• Scrape or misuse: Use automated means to harvest content at scale, or use the site in any way that breaches applicable law.
• Abuse our tools: Manipulate the coffee-vs-tea vote, submit false information through the contact form, or send spam or malicious content.

Our content

Unless otherwise stated, the guides, articles, text, images, logos, and design on the site are owned by Coffee & Tea Culture or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may read, share links to, and quote short excerpts with attribution, but you may not republish, reproduce, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without our prior written permission.

Your submissions

When you send us information through the contact form or cast a vote, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and that you have the right to share it. Please do not send us confidential or sensitive information you would not want us to hold. You grant us permission to use submissions for the purpose of responding to you and operating the site, as described in our Privacy Policy.

Informational content only

Our guides are for general information and enjoyment. They are not professional, medical, nutritional, or dietary advice, and results — like brewing outcomes — vary by person, equipment, and ingredients. Please see our Disclaimer for the full details and always use your own judgement.

Third-party links & services

The site may link to third-party websites or rely on third-party services (such as analytics and hosting). We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Visiting a linked site is at your own risk and subject to that site's own terms.

Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of — or inability to use — the site or its content. Nothing in these Terms excludes any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of the site, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be subject to the courts having jurisdiction over the site's operator, unless local law grants you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
