The small print

Terms of Service

This local draft describes the proposed private-notebook migration. It has not been published and does not replace the currently effective Terms.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Joe Saia, the New Jersey-based operator of Mix Stamp ("Mix Stamp," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to mixstamp.com and the Mix Stamp web and iOS applications (together, the "Service").

01. Accepting these Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service for an organization or another person, you represent that you have authority to bind them, and "you" includes them.

The public marketing website may be viewed without an account. The remaining Service requires an account and these Terms. We recommend saving or printing a copy for your records.

02. Eligibility and responsible use

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding agreement to create an account. Alcohol-related content is intended only for people who have reached the legal drinking age in their location. Do not use the Service to purchase, prepare, serve, or consume alcohol unlawfully or unsafely.

Mix Stamp is a record-keeping tool, not medical, health, nutritional, legal, or professional advice. Recipes may contain allergens, alcohol, or inaccurate measurements. You are responsible for checking ingredients, strength, serving sizes, allergies, interactions, and applicable laws; drinking responsibly; and never driving or operating machinery while impaired.

03. Accounts and security

You agree to provide accurate account information, keep it current, protect your devices, authentication methods, session credentials, and backup files, and promptly tell us about suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity through your account unless applicable law provides otherwise.

Authentication is provided through WorkOS and may involve another sign-in provider. Their separate terms govern the accounts and authentication services they control. You may not transfer, sell, or lend your Mix Stamp account or impersonate another person.

Deleting your Mix Stamp account deletes your private notebook, your authentication identity, and your migration linkage. This is irreversible. The Mix Stamp-managed WorkOS user record is deleted; your independent Apple or Google account is not. Deletion does not erase independent private copies belonging to other accounts or recall exported files. Archived originals and recovery records are handled as described in the Privacy Policy and section 6 below.

04. License to use Mix Stamp

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, and revocable license to access and use the Service for lawful personal purposes. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

If you obtain the iOS app through Apple's App Store, Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement governs your license to the installed app to the extent applicable; these Terms govern your Mix Stamp account, the online Service, your content, and your relationship with us. You must also comply with applicable App Store usage rules.

05. Your content

"Your Content" means recipes, ingredients, directions, notes, favorites, drink history, source information, notebook names, and other material you submit or import. As between you and Mix Stamp, you retain whatever ownership rights you have in Your Content.

You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, transmit, display, and otherwise use Your Content only as needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service; follow your instructions; carry out the private-notebook migration described below; and comply with law. This license allows us to make technical copies and maintain independent copies of previously accessible content for the accounts that received them. It ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems, except for content or copies retained as described in the Privacy Policy or as required by law.

You represent that you have the rights needed to submit Your Content and grant this license, and that doing so does not violate law or another person's rights. Do not enter private or sensitive information about someone else without permission. Source labels and links do not replace any permission required to copy protected expression. Facts, ingredient lists, and procedures may receive different legal protection than creative descriptions; you are responsible for what you copy or share.

06. Private notebooks and migration

Each account has one private notebook. There are no invitations, members, shared editing, ownership transfers, book switching, or separate book-deletion controls. You can edit your recipes, use backups, and delete your account, but cannot administer another person's notebook.

Migration consolidates independent copies of everything your account previously could access into your private notebook, retaining all recipe content, notes, favorites, drink history, and preset import receipts. Old sharing ends. Copies in different accounts are independent, like imported backups: subsequent edits or account deletion by a former author do not change or erase content in another recipient's private notebook. Having a copy does not transfer the original author's intellectual-property rights to you.

Archived original notebooks and journals are inaccessible recovery records, retained until no affected account remains and subject to legacy contributor erasure cleanup. Account deletion removes your migration linkage and applies that cleanup to archived originals, not other accounts' independent private copies. Exported files cannot be recalled.

07. Backups, synchronization, and data loss

The Service synchronizes notebook data across authorized clients, but synchronization can be delayed, interrupted, or conflict with changes made in another session of your account. Unsaved web drafts are not durable or available offline. The iOS app can retain pending local changes; conflicts keep the first server-accepted change and discard the rejected edit and dependent local changes. Unconfirmed saves retry the same request rather than silently discarding it.

Export your private notebook regularly and verify your backup files. An exported backup excludes membership and actor identifiers. An import can replace all recipe content in your private notebook; imported preset catalogs cannot be undone in bulk. You are responsible for selecting the correct file, conflict choice, and storage destination, and for protecting exported copies.

Recipe deletions, account erasure, backup imports, and conflict decisions can be permanent. Read each confirmation carefully. We do not promise that any deleted or overwritten data can be recovered.

08. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

  • violate law or another person's rights;
  • submit unlawful, infringing, fraudulent, threatening, hateful, harassing, exploitative, or malicious material;
  • access another person's account or notebook without authorization, or defeat access controls;
  • probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities; introduce malware; disrupt the Service; or impose an unreasonable load;
  • scrape, harvest, or use automated means to access the Service except with our written permission or as allowed by law;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, copy, modify, resell, sublicense, or create derivative works from the Service except where applicable law or an open-source license expressly permits it;
  • use the Service or its output to develop or train a competing product, dataset, or machine-learning model; or
  • misrepresent affiliation with Mix Stamp or another person.

We may investigate suspected misuse and preserve or disclose information as permitted by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

09. Third-party services and content

The Service relies on third parties such as WorkOS, Cloudflare, Sentry, and Apple and may link to recipe sources or other websites. Third parties are responsible for their own services, content, availability, security, and terms. A link, attribution, or preset inclusion does not imply our endorsement, ownership, or verification.

Preset catalogs and attributed recipes are provided for reference and may contain errors or change at the source. Brand names belong to their respective owners. Review the original source and exercise your own judgment before relying on any recipe or other third-party material.

10. Our intellectual property and feedback

Except for Your Content and identified third-party material, Mix Stamp and its software, design, text, graphics, compilation, and branding are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. "Mix Stamp" and related branding may not be used without permission.

If you voluntarily send ideas or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to use it without restriction or compensation. Do not submit feedback you expect us to keep confidential.

To report claimed infringement, email joe@saiaai.dev with your contact information, identification of the work and material involved, its location in the Service, the basis for your claim, and any other information required by applicable law.

11. Service changes, suspension, and termination

Mix Stamp is an evolving service. We may add, change, suspend, limit, or discontinue features or the Service. When reasonably possible, we will provide notice of a material discontinuation and an opportunity to export your private notebook, but emergencies, legal requirements, security risks, or provider failures may prevent advance notice.

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can erase your account without a separate notebook-management step. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if needed to protect the Service or others. Where appropriate, we will provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure or export content.

On termination, your license to use the Service ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including content licenses for lawfully retained copies, ownership, feedback, disclaimers, liability limits, dispute terms, and accrued rights.

We may revise these Terms. We will post the updated version and effective date and provide legally required notice of material changes. If a change materially reduces your rights or increases your obligations, it will apply prospectively after notice. Your continued use after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and erase your account.

12. Disclaimers

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13. Limits on liability

These limitations allocate risk between you and us and apply regardless of the theory of liability. They do not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as liability for intentional misconduct where applicable law forbids that limitation. Your local law may give you additional rights.

14. General terms and contact

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, except for terms that expressly apply through a third-party platform. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or sale of the Service. There are no third-party beneficiaries except as expressly provided by applicable App Store terms.

New Jersey law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent the law where you live requires otherwise. Any dispute may be brought in the state or federal courts located in or serving Essex County, New Jersey, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction, unless applicable law gives you the right to bring it elsewhere. These Terms do not require arbitration or waive any right to a jury trial or class proceeding.

Before filing a claim, we encourage you to contact us and describe the problem so we can try to resolve it informally. This does not extend a legal deadline or prevent either party from seeking urgent relief.
