TERMS & CONDITIONS
Last updated: August 24th, 2025

These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Brim’s websites, apps, and services that help you discover, match, and share food and cocktail recipes based on what’s in your kitchen (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (incorporated by reference). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1) WHO WE ARE
The Service is provided by Brim (“Brim,” “we,” “us,” “our”). Contact: derek@tipsygoatcocktails.com.

2) ELIGIBILITY & ACCOUNTS
• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service and of legal drinking age in your jurisdiction to access cocktail content or alcohol-related features.
• You are responsible for your account credentials and all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

3) THE SERVICE
Brim surfaces recipe ideas, match scores, and suggestions using rules, data, and automated systems (including AI). Outputs (steps, times, ingredients, substitutions) are informational only and may be incomplete or unsuitable for your situation. We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

4) NOT MEDICAL, NUTRITION, OR SAFETY ADVICE
• Brim does not provide medical, nutritional, or professional advice. Consult qualified professionals for dietary needs, allergies, or health conditions.
• Allergen disclosures, nutrition estimates, cook times, and temperatures may be inaccurate. Verify doneness with a food thermometer and follow safe food-handling practices.
• Alcohol: Consume responsibly and according to local laws. Do not use the Service to encourage underage or unsafe drinking. Never drink and drive.

5) USER CONTENT & LICENSE
You may submit or create content (e.g., recipes, images, notes, ratings, lists, comments, profile info, referral codes) (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Brim a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, create derivative works, publish, translate, display, and distribute your User Content to operate, improve, and promote the Service. This license ends when your User Content is deleted from our systems, subject to (i) retained backups, (ii) uses already made, and (iii) third-party caches.
‍
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary for the above license and that your User Content (and our use of it) does not violate law or others’ rights.

6) PERMITTED & PROHIBITED USES
Use the Service only for its intended purpose and in compliance with law. You may not:
• Reverse engineer, scrape at scale, or use bots to extract data (except as permitted by robots.txt or an API agreement).
• Upload malicious code or attempt to disrupt the Service.
• Post unlawful, infringing, deceptive, or harmful content (including harassment, hate speech, threats, or content encouraging self-harm or illegal activity).
• Share or solicit alcohol content with anyone under the legal drinking age.
• Misrepresent your identity, impersonate others, or infringe IP or privacy rights.
• Abuse referral, rewards, or sharing programs (e.g., self-referrals, spam).
We may investigate and take action, including removing content, limiting features, or terminating accounts.

7) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Service (including text, code, design, and trademarks) is owned by Brim or its licensors and protected by IP laws. Except for your User Content and as expressly permitted, you may not copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, or exploit any part of the Service.
Feedback: If you send ideas or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation.

8) THIRD-PARTY LINKS & SERVICES
The Service may link to third-party sites, content, or services (e.g., grocery vendors, social networks). Brim is not responsible for third-party content or practices. Your use of them is at your own risk and may be subject to their terms.

9) SHARING & REFERRALS
If you share content or links generated by Brim (including links containing UTM or referral parameters), you agree not to spam or mislead. We may change, suspend, or revoke referral or promotional programs at any time and determine eligibility in our sole discretion.

10) BETA FEATURES & AI OUTPUTS
Features labeled alpha/beta/experimental may be incomplete or change unexpectedly. AI-generated outputs can be incorrect, offensive, or unsafe. Use discretion and verify critical details (ingredients, allergens, temperatures, alcohol content).

11) PAYMENTS & SUBSCRIPTIONS
If Brim offers paid plans or in-app purchases:
• Billing: You authorize charges to your payment method for amounts shown at checkout (plus taxes).
• Auto-renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless canceled before renewal.
• Cancellation: Cancel any time via account settings; access continues through the paid period.
• Refunds: Unless required by law, fees are non-refundable.
Additional terms may apply and will be presented at purchase.

12) DMCA / COPYRIGHT
If you believe material on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to [DMCA Email or Agent Address] including: (a) your contact info, (b) identification of the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material, (c) a good-faith statement, and (d) a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act. We may remove content and, for repeat violations, terminate accounts.

13) PRIVACY
Your use of the Service is subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and share information. You agree to that policy.

14) TERMINATION
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access (and delete or hide content) if you violate these Terms, risk harm to others or to Brim, or as required by law. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limits of liability, arbitration) will survive termination.

15) DISCLAIMERS
THE SERVICE AND ANY CONTENT (INCLUDING RECIPES, MATCH SCORES, SUBSTITUTIONS, NUTRITION, AND ALCOHOL-RELATED INFORMATION) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRIM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE, SAFE, UNINTERRUPTED, OR ERROR-FREE.

16) LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BRIM AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE EXTENT ANY LIABILITY EXISTS, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) US$100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO BRIM IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
(Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; some of the above may not apply to you.)

17) INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Brim and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your infringement or misappropriation of third-party rights.

18) DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION; CLASS WAIVER (U.S. USERS)
• Binding arbitration: Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may seek relief in small claims court for qualifying claims.
• Class actions waived: You and Brim agree to bring disputes only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative action.
• Opt-out: You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing [Contact Email] with subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your name and account email.
• Governing law & venue: These Terms are governed by the laws of Illinois, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Illinois.

19) CHANGES TO THE TERMS
We may modify these Terms. If we make material changes, we’ll provide notice (e.g., by email or in-app). Changes apply prospectively from the effective date. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

20) MISCELLANEOUS
• Entire agreement: These Terms (plus any posted policies and purchase terms) are the entire agreement between you and Brim.
• Severability: If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect.
• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
• No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Headings: Headings are for convenience only.
