Terms of Use

Last updated: June 1, 2026

By downloading or using the Beer Finder Buddy mobile application (“the App”) you agree to these Terms of Use.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 17 years of age, or the legal drinking age in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, to use the App. The App is for adults and contains references to alcoholic beverages.

2. Use of the App

You agree to use the App lawfully and not to:

• Submit false, misleading, defamatory, or infringing content (beer entries, sightings, photos, or ratings)
• Submit photos that contain other people without their consent
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the App’s backend
• Use the App to promote illegal sale or distribution of alcohol
• Attempt to bypass server-side controls (point awarding, rewards, rate limits)
• Use the App to drink and drive — please be responsible

3. Community contributions

Sightings and beer entries you submit become part of a shared community database. By submitting, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to display, copy, and distribute your submission within the App and on our backend.

You retain ownership of your submissions. We may remove any submission at our discretion, particularly if it violates Section 2.

4. Rewards points

Points are an in-app virtual currency used to unlock an ad-free experience. They have no monetary value, cannot be transferred, refunded, or exchanged for cash. We may adjust point awards, daily limits, redemption costs, and the rewards catalog at any time.

5. Third-party data

The App uses publicly-available data from Open Brewery DB, OpenStreetMap (Overpass), and Open Food Facts. We make no warranty that venue addresses, hours, phone numbers, or beer information are accurate or up-to-date. Always confirm with the venue before traveling.

6. AI-generated content

The “Scan a case” feature uses an AI vision model (Anthropic Claude) to identify beers in your photos. Identifications are best-effort and may be wrong. Do not rely on AI output for purchasing, dietary, or legal decisions.

7. Ads

The App displays advertising provided by Google AdMob. Advertisers are responsible for the content of their ads. We do not endorse advertised products. You can purchase ad-free time using points earned in the App.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP IS LIMITED TO USD $10. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for any reason including violation of these Terms.

11. Changes

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance.
