1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a contract between you and [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] (“Batchcraft,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Batchcraft website and application (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you use the Service on behalf of a business, you represent that you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.
2. The Service
Batchcraft helps small food manufacturers manage recipes, constraint-based scaling, ingredient and packaging costing, production batches, finished-goods inventory, customers, and invoices, including team collaboration features.
The Service currently offers a free tier with usage limits. Paid “Pro” billing is not live yet; when billing launches, additional payment and subscription terms will be added and this document will be updated.
Batchcraft is a production and operations tool. It is not legal advice, food-safety certification, labeling compliance, tax advice, or accounting software. You remain responsible for complying with all laws and regulations that apply to your manufacturing and sales.
3. Accounts and eligibility
- You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
- You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) and using the Service for a business or professional purpose.
- You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for activity under your account.
- Notify us promptly at [PRIVACY_EMAIL] if you suspect unauthorized access.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purposes
- Upload or store content you do not have rights to use
- Attempt to bypass security, plan limits, or access another workspace’s data
- Abuse APIs, scrape the Service in a way that degrades performance, or reverse engineer except as allowed by law
- Interfere with other users or the infrastructure that hosts Batchcraft
- Misrepresent your identity or affiliation
We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms.
5. Your content and customer data
You retain ownership of recipes, production data, customer records, invoices, images, and other content you submit (“Customer Content”). You grant us a limited license to host, process, transmit, and display Customer Content solely to provide and improve the Service (including backups, security, and transactional email).
You are responsible for the legality of Customer Content, including personal information about your customers that you enter into Batchcraft. You must have any notices, consents, or other legal bases required for that data.
6. Intellectual property
The Service—including software, design, documentation, and Batchcraft branding—is owned by [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks except as needed to identify that you use Batchcraft.
7. Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party infrastructure, including Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Storage), Netlify (hosting and functions), and Resend (email). Your use of Google sign-in is also subject to Google’s terms. We are not responsible for third-party services outside our reasonable control, except as required by law.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT RECIPE SCALING, COSTING, OR INVENTORY FIGURES WILL MEET YOUR PARTICULAR PRODUCTION OR REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, [LEGAL_ENTITY_NAME] AND ITS SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). BECAUSE THE CURRENT PRODUCT IS FREE, CLAUSE (B) WILL TYPICALLY APPLY UNTIL PAID PLANS LAUNCH.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. You may delete your personal account or schedule deletion of a workspace you own using the in-app controls. Workspace deletion includes a 7-day recovery window before permanent purge, as described in the product and Privacy Policy.
We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service (with reasonable notice where practicable). Provisions that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, and liability limits) will survive termination.
11. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where applicable law requires additional consent.
12. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [GOVERNING_STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in [GOVERNING_STATE] will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Replace [GOVERNING_STATE] in src/content/legal/meta.ts before launch.
