All content is provided for cultural exchange, knowledge sharing, and personal appreciation, and does not constitute investment, trading, drinking, authentication, or valuation advice. Information on price, provenance, vintage, age, and storage may change over time, vary by region, and differ for specific bottles; we encourage you to verify important details with official or professional sources before acting on them.

4. User Content (if applicable)

If you submit, post, or otherwise make available content to the Service — such as a reader message, tasting note, article pitch, or tool suggestion — you retain all rights to that content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, publicly display, and distribute such content, in whole or in part, on and through the Service and related channels, for the purpose of operating and improving the Service. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to submit the content and that it is lawful, accurate, and appropriate. We may remove or decline any content at our sole discretion.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, functionality, visual design, and editorial structure are and will remain the exclusive property of Fluxera and our licensors, and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. The names "Fluxera," "FLUXERA," the "F" monogram, and related logos and trade dress are our trademarks and may not be used in connection with any product or service, or in any manner likely to cause confusion, without our prior written consent. Unless expressly permitted by these Terms or by applicable law, you may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, display, or create derivative works of any part of the Service for commercial purposes.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, images, or services that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. Your use of any third-party service is subject to that service's own terms and policies, and we encourage you to read them.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE, NOR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR AFFILIATES, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, REVENUE, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US $100.00) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN LIABILITIES, THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IN WHOLE OR IN PART.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us and our officers, directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, and affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to your use of and access to the Service, your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

10. Termination, Suspension, and Account Deactivation

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service, in whole or in part, immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms. Where an account or subscription exists, you may deactivate or close it at any time by contacting us at [email protected], after which we will stop sending you updates and delete or anonymize personal data as described in our Privacy Policy. Where no account exists, you may simply discontinue use of the Service at any time. All provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive termination — including, without limitation, Sections 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 13 — shall survive any termination or suspension.

11. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, supplement, or replace these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide at least thirty (30) days' notice before the new terms take effect, by posting a prominent notice on the Service and, where applicable, by email to subscribers. Changes become effective on the date stated in the revised Terms. By continuing to access or use the Service after the revised Terms take effect, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York, and you hereby irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection based on improper venue or forum non conveniens. Nothing in these Terms restricts any rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection laws that cannot be waived.

13. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede and replace any prior agreements, understandings, or communications, whether written or oral, regarding the Service. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
