1. Parties and acceptance
These Terms of Use are a contract between you, the person using Cafeverso, and Vitor Loura, who operates Cafeverso under the brand Code Brew (code-brew.io). Contact: support@code-brew.io.
You accept these terms by signing in and continuing to use the application. Each version of the text carries a date, printed at the top of this page. When we publish a new version with material changes, we ask you to accept the new text on your next visit; until you accept, use is suspended. These terms should be read together with the Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.
2. Eligibility
Cafeverso is for people 18 or older. By using the service you state that you are 18 or older and legally able to enter into this contract. Each person may keep one account. Duplicate accounts, accounts created in someone else's name and automated accounts may be removed.
You are responsible for keeping access to the email address on file, because that is where the six-digit code that authenticates you arrives, and for keeping your password secret if you have set one.
3. The service
Cafeverso is an application for recording coffees, waters, gear, recipes with versions and brew results, and for sharing that material with other people in communities. It is a free service, in an invite-only launch period: during that period the creation of accounts, communities and invite links may be limited or switched off.
We do not guarantee continuous availability. The service may go down for maintenance, because a provider fails, or by our decision, and features may change or be withdrawn. If we decide to shut the service down, we will give reasonable notice so that you can export your data.
4. Your content
The content you create stays yours. You transfer ownership of nothing to us. So that the application can work, you grant us a free, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, reproduce and display that content, strictly to the extent your own visibility settings direct, and only in order to operate the service.
When you mark an item as public or share it into a community, you grant other users the right to view it. Shared recipes can also be forked: another user creates their own copy from your recipe, with the lineage recorded. That copy is that user's content and keeps existing even after you delete the original recipe or close your account. Think twice before sharing something you may want to take back later.
You state that you hold the rights you need over what you publish, photos included, and that publishing it infringes nobody else's rights.
5. Acceptable use
- Do not publish unlawful, offensive or discriminatory content, or content that infringes the rights of others.
- Do not impersonate anyone or create accounts in someone else's name.
- Do not scrape, harvest automatically, or bulk-access the service and other users' data.
- Do not abuse invites: do not resell them, do not post named invites publicly, and do not use them to inflate communities artificially.
- Do not try to bypass rate limits, authentication mechanisms or visibility controls, or otherwise interfere with the operation of the service.
6. Communities
Communities have an owner and members. The owner moderates: admits and removes members, manages invite links and answers for the dynamics of the group. Content shared into a community still belongs to whoever created it.
We may remove content or close whole communities that break these terms, and we may act on legitimate requests from rights holders. Whenever possible, we explain the reason to whoever was affected.
7. Suspension and termination
You may close your account whenever you want, on your own, from your Profile, which is also where the export of your data and the deletion of your account live. Deletion removes your registration, your profile and your content, subject to the forking exception described in section 4. If you own a community that other people belong to, delete it or hand it over first; the application tells you which.
We may suspend or terminate your access if you break these terms, if there is a risk to the security of the service, or if the law requires it. For minor breaches we warn you first and give you a chance to put things right.
8. Warranties and limits of liability
Cafeverso is offered free of charge, as is. We do not warrant that the service will be free of errors or always available, nor that the data you record will produce any particular result in the cup: recipes, brew notes and comparisons are records and suggestions, not professional advice, and how a brew turns out depends on equipment, water, beans and technique that are outside our control.
To the fullest extent Brazilian law allows, we are not liable for indirect damages, lost profits or loss of data arising from use of the service. Nothing here removes the rights the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code grants you, or liability for wilful misconduct or gross negligence. We recommend you keep your own copy of anything important, using the export available in your Profile.
9. Governing law and forum
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Where you are a consumer, the competent forum is the one at your own domicile, under art. 101, I of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code. Before going to court, write to the contact below: almost everything is settled by email.
10. Contact
Questions, complaints and requests about these terms or about your data: support@code-brew.io. Requests concerning personal data are answered within 15 days, as described in the Privacy Policy.
