Terms of Service

CUPPERLØG is a coffee diary built by a tiny independent team. These Terms keep that relationship clear: the diary is yours, the app is ours, and here is what each of us promises the other. This document is provided in English; our Privacy Policy (available in ten languages) forms part of these Terms.

1. The agreement

By creating a CUPPERLØG account or using the app or cupperlog.com (together, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. The Service

CUPPERLØG is a personal coffee-tasting diary: a notebook-style journal, a calendar of your cups, an atlas of your origins, a sensory profile, and small group tasting events you join by invite code. The Service is free of charge. There are no purchases, subscriptions, or ads.

Fair use. To keep the Service available for everyone, some features carry quotas — for example, the AI bag-scan is limited per user per day, and password-reset emails are rate-limited. We may adjust these limits.

3. Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account — or older where your local law requires it (for example, 16 in parts of the European Union). By using the Service you confirm you meet this requirement.

4. Your account

A CUPPERLØG account is required to use the diary. You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for what happens under your account. Give us accurate details — in particular a contact email you control, because it is the only way to recover a forgotten password. You can delete your account at any time in Settings (or via this page); deletion removes your account and synced data as described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Acceptable use

Keep it lawful and keep it kind. You agree not to:

• post content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights (copyright, trademark, privacy), exploits minors, or promotes violence, harassment, or hate — including in diary entries, photos, profile details, and anything shared at a tasting event;
• abuse tasting events — join codes are invitations; do not share codes to disrupt a table, impersonate others, or harvest other tasters' information;
• bypass or probe quotas, rate limits, authentication, or other security measures;
• scrape, crawl, or access the Service by automation beyond normal app use;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or resell the Service.

We may investigate violations and suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.

6. Your content

Your diary belongs to you. You own everything you put into CUPPERLØG — entries, photos, sketches, tags, ratings, your profile, and your event answers.

So the Service can work, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, copy, transmit, and display your content solely to operate the Service for you: storing it on your device, syncing it to your account, and showing it back to you (and, for event content, to your table — see section 7). This licence ends for content you delete, subject to the sync and backup handling described in the Privacy Policy. We do not sell your content, and we do not use your content to train AI models.

You are responsible for having the right to upload what you upload — for example, photos you take or have permission to use.

7. Tasting events

Events are small, private tables joined by invite code. When you join one, your display name, profile picture, and your answers become visible to that event's members according to the event's reveal rules, and remain part of that table's record for its participants (the host may export a session report). Join a table only if you are comfortable sharing that much with the people at it. Hosts are responsible for who they invite.

8. The AI bag-scan

The optional bag-scan reads a photo of a coffee label and suggests text (origin, variety, roaster) for your entry. The photo is processed to extract that text and is not kept by us afterwards, and is not used to train AI models. AI output can misread labels — review the suggested text before saving it; your saved entry is what you confirm, not what the scanner guessed. Where AI processing is unavailable, the app falls back to on-device recognition.

9. Third-party services

We build on a small set of processors, listed with their roles in the Privacy Policy: Supabase (accounts, database, sync), Anthropic (AI bag-scan processing), Resend (password-reset email), and Cloudflare (website and email routing). Your use of features they power is also subject to their terms and privacy policies.

10. A free service, honestly offered

CUPPERLØG is provided free, on a best-effort basis, by a very small team. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, that every feature will remain available, or any particular response time. We may change, limit, or discontinue features. Your diary's primary copy lives on your device and syncs to your account while signed in — keep your account signed in on a device you control if the diary matters to you (it does to us).

11. Our stuff

The CUPPERLØG name, wordmark, app design, website, and code are ours. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for its intended purpose, and no right to copy or redistribute anything of ours. Your content (section 6) is explicitly not "our stuff".

12. Ending things

You may stop using CUPPERLØG at any time and delete your account in Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate section 5, and we will be proportionate about it. Sections that by their nature survive (6–7 licences already granted to your past tables, 13–16) survive termination.

13. No warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT AI-EXTRACTED TEXT WILL BE ACCURATE.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the Service, and our total liability for any claim is capped at AUD $100.

Your consumer rights are not affected. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded. In jurisdictions that do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, those exclusions apply only to the extent permitted.

15. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims and reasonable costs arising from content you submit, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of someone else's rights — to the extent permitted by the law that applies to you.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and disputes are subject to the courts there — without limiting any protections your local consumer law gives you in your own country.

17. App-store terms

If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store or Google Play, their standard terms also apply. Apple and Google are not responsible for the app, its content, or support, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you as they relate to the iOS app.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are posted here with a new "Last updated" date, and for material changes we will make the update noticeable in the app or on the site. Continuing to use the Service after changes are posted means you accept the revised Terms.
