Terms of Service

Using Apiary Tools

By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. You're responsible for keeping your password secure and for everything that happens under your account.

Your Account & Data

You own your data. Your apiaries, hives, inspections, photos, and notes are yours. I don't claim any rights over the content you put into the app, and I don't sell or share it with third parties. See the Privacy Policy for details on how data is stored and protected.

You can export or delete your data at any time. Reach out if you'd like help.

Acceptable Use

Please don't:

• Use the service to do anything illegal or harmful
• Try to break, scrape, or overload the site
• Upload malicious content, spam, or content you don't have rights to
• Impersonate other users or misrepresent your identity
• Attempt to access other users' accounts or data

If you abuse the service, I may suspend or terminate your account.

Email Communications

When you create an account, you'll receive essential transactional emails (email confirmation, password resets, inspection reminders if you enable them). These are required to use the service.

If you opted in to marketing emails at signup, I'll occasionally send product updates and tips. You can unsubscribe from these at any time using the link in any marketing email, or by updating your account preferences. Unsubscribing from marketing won't affect transactional emails.

Service Availability

Apiary Tools is provided as-is. I do my best to keep it running and accurate, but I can't guarantee 100% uptime, and I may need to take it down for maintenance occasionally.

The information and calculators on the site are for informational purposes only. They're not a substitute for professional veterinary or agricultural advice. Use your judgment when applying anything you read here to your hives.

Disclaimer & Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Apiary Tools is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. I'm not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of the service.

Termination

You can stop using the service or delete your account at any time. I may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or that have been inactive for a long period.

Changes to These Terms

I may update these terms from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. For significant changes, I'll notify users via email.
