These Terms of Service govern your use of the BarrelGuru mobile applications, the BarrelGuru website at barrelguru.com, and any related services provided by BarrelGuru, LLC. Please read them carefully — by creating an account or using the BarrelGuru product, you are agreeing to these Terms.
These Terms include a binding arbitration provision and class-action waiver in § 17 that affect your legal rights. Read § 17 carefully. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you," the user) and BarrelGuru, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("BarrelGuru," "we," "our," or "us").
By creating a BarrelGuru account, downloading the BarrelGuru mobile app, accessing the BarrelGuru website, or otherwise using the BarrelGuru product (collectively, the "Service"), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Copyright Notice, and our Responsible Use policy, each incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
You may use BarrelGuru only if all of the following are true:
You confirm your age on first use of the website and on first launch of the mobile apps via self-attestation. Misrepresenting your age or eligibility is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate account termination.
To use most features of the Service, you must create an account by providing a valid email address and a password. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information, and to keep that information updated.
You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@barrelguru.com if you discover or suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
You may maintain one personal account. We do not permit shared accounts or transfer of accounts to other persons. Business or enterprise use is governed by a separate commercial agreement.
BarrelGuru provides a catalog, knowledge base, AI-assisted recommendations, and inventory-management tools for collectors of distilled spirits. The Service includes features such as Wall Scan, Single Scan, Bulk Import, AI Spirit Companion, Fill Level Detection, Location Intelligence, Live Collection Valuation, Next Pour, and Spirit History & Stories, as well as future features we may add from time to time.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict your access to parts or all of the Service without notice or liability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate material changes in advance.
BarrelGuru is offered in tiers: Free, Pro (currently $9.99 / month), and Guru Class (currently $19.99 / month). Each tier carries specific monthly quotas for AI features, as described on our Pricing page. Prices are quoted in U.S. dollars and exclude any applicable taxes.
All paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe, Inc. via a checkout session opened in your device's external browser. BarrelGuru does not receive or store your full payment-card details. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's terms and privacy notice. Your subscription tier is reflected in the app upon your return from checkout.
Paid subscriptions auto-renew on a monthly cycle until you cancel. We will charge your saved payment method at the start of each billing period. You authorize us and Stripe to charge that method for each renewal, plus any applicable taxes, until you cancel.
You may cancel your subscription at any time from Settings → Subscription → Manage Billing inside the app, which opens the Stripe billing portal, or directly at Stripe's billing portal. Upon cancellation, your subscription remains active through the end of the current paid billing period and then drops automatically to the Free tier. Your cellar entries, photos, notes, and history are retained.
EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALL FEES PAID TO BARRELGURU ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. WE DO NOT PROVIDE PRO-RATA REFUNDS FOR PARTIAL BILLING PERIODS, UNUSED QUOTAS, OR EARLY CANCELLATION. IF YOU CANCEL MID-PERIOD, YOU RETAIN THE FULL BENEFIT OF THE PAID TIER THROUGH THE END OF THAT PERIOD AND ARE NOT CHARGED FOR THE NEXT PERIOD.
We may change subscription prices from time to time. Material price changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance via email and in the app. Continued use of a paid tier after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new price; if you do not agree, cancel before the change goes into effect.
From time to time we may offer free trials or promotional pricing. Trials automatically convert to paid subscriptions at the standard rate at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the conversion. Trial eligibility, duration, and content are at our sole discretion.
Each paid tier carries monthly usage quotas (Wall Scans, AI Spirit Companion chats, AI spec lookups) that reset on the first day of each calendar month. Unused quota does not carry over. If you exceed your quota during a billing period, you may upgrade to a higher tier or wait until the next reset.
You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:
robots.txt;We may investigate any suspected violation of this section and take any action we deem appropriate, including suspending or terminating accounts, removing content, and pursuing civil or criminal remedies.
You retain ownership of all content you submit to BarrelGuru — including bottle photos, tasting notes, ratings, location names, custom bottle entries, and chat queries to the AI Spirit Companion ("Your Content").
By submitting Your Content, you grant BarrelGuru, LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes such as resizing or transcoding), display, and distribute Your Content solely to the extent necessary to operate, provide, and improve the Service on your behalf. Full terms of this license, including what we do not do with Your Content, are set out in § 4 of our Copyright Notice.
You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to submit Your Content, that Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights, and that Your Content complies with applicable law and these Terms.
The BarrelGuru applications, website, library catalog data, source code, designs, illustrations, written content, audio and video, marketing assets, and user interface are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. All rights are reserved by BarrelGuru, LLC. See our Copyright Notice for the full statement of rights, the limited use license, our trademark policy, third-party brand fair-use posture, and the DMCA takedown procedure.
BarrelGuru references and describes products, distilleries, brand names, label designs, and product histories that are owned by third parties. All such third-party trademarks, trade names, label artwork, and brand stories are the property of their respective owners. Their inclusion in the Service is for nominative, informational, comparative, and editorial purposes and does not imply any affiliation, endorsement, sponsorship, or licensing arrangement unless explicitly stated.
The Service may also link to or interoperate with third-party services (including but not limited to Stripe, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and the operating systems of your device). Your use of those third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy notices, which you should review separately. BarrelGuru is not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party service.
Portions of the Service use generative AI to summarize public information about spirits, identify bottles from photographs, describe collections, and generate conversational responses (the "AI Outputs"). AI Outputs are produced from your input combined with publicly available information and the BarrelGuru Library, processed through third-party model providers under their respective terms.
Live Collection Valuation, fill-level estimates, and other AI-generated figures are informational estimates only. BarrelGuru, LLC makes no representation or warranty that any AI-generated value, identification, or recommendation is accurate, current, or suitable for any specific purpose.
Our Privacy Policy describes what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights. By using the Service, you agree to the data practices described there.
BarrelGuru is built for adults of legal drinking age, used responsibly. Our Responsible Use policy describes our age restriction, our marketing posture, and resources for users who or whose families need support. You agree to use the Service consistent with that policy and with the laws of your jurisdiction. We expressly disclaim any responsibility for your decisions about whether, when, what, or how much to drink.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Deletion is initiated from Settings → Privacy → Delete Account inside the app. Deletion triggers a 30-day grace window during which you can restore the account; after 30 days, your account and all associated data are permanently deleted, except for records we are legally required to retain.
We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if your use of the Service creates legal exposure for us or other users, if your account has been inactive for an extended period, or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ends.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including §§ 7, 8, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 22 — survive termination of your account or these Terms.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BARRELGURU, LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY CONTENT, IDENTIFICATION, VALUATION, RECOMMENDATION, OR OTHER OUTPUT PROVIDED BY THE SERVICE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent those laws apply, some of the disclaimers above may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BARRELGURU, LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES — INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE — ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO BARRELGURU FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. To the extent those laws apply, some of the limitations above may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless BarrelGuru, LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and service providers from and against any claim, demand, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your breach of these Terms or any applicable law; or (d) your infringement of any third-party right.
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.
This section affects your legal rights. It requires you and BarrelGuru to resolve most disputes through binding individual arbitration, and it waives your right to bring or participate in a class action. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms (see § 17.4).
Before filing any claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute, your contact information, and the specific relief you seek to support@barrelguru.com with subject line DISPUTE NOTICE. We will attempt to resolve the matter within thirty (30) days of receiving your notice. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith during this period.
If we cannot resolve a dispute informally within thirty (30) days, you and BarrelGuru agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service — including disputes arising from your use of the Service, our marketing, our handling of your data, or our handling of your subscription — will be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified below.
The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with AAA rules. Arbitration may be conducted in person in Atlanta, Georgia, by telephone or video conference, or through written submissions, at your election for claims under $25,000 and at the arbitrator's discretion for larger claims. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
YOU AND BARRELGURU AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. IF THIS CLASS WAIVER IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF § 17 IS NULL AND VOID — BUT THE REMAINDER OF THESE TERMS REMAINS IN EFFECT.
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in § 17.2 and the class waiver in § 17.3 by sending written notice to support@barrelguru.com with subject line ARBITRATION OPT-OUT within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your full name, the email address on your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. If you opt out, neither you nor BarrelGuru can require the other to participate in arbitration; both parties retain the right to pursue claims in court, subject to § 18 (Governing Law & Venue).
Notwithstanding § 17.2, either party may bring a claim (a) in small-claims court if the claim qualifies and stays in that court; or (b) for injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property rights, prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of the Service, or address violations of § 6 (Acceptable Use) pending resolution of the underlying dispute.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration under § 17 (including post-arbitration enforcement and the matters described in § 17.5), you and BarrelGuru agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and waive any objection to jurisdiction, venue, or inconvenient forum in those courts.
If you downloaded the BarrelGuru mobile app from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply. These terms are required by Apple and govern only the relationship between you, BarrelGuru, and Apple Inc. ("Apple") with respect to the iOS app:
If you downloaded the BarrelGuru mobile app from Google Play, your use of the Android app is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Google Play Terms of Service with respect to your download or installation of the Android app, the Google Play Terms control. In all other respects, these Terms govern.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this page and, for material changes, provide notice in the app or by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the new Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, cancel your subscription and stop using the Service before the changes take effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Copyright Notice, the Responsible Use policy, and any commercial agreement separately executed with BarrelGuru, LLC, constitute the entire agreement between you and BarrelGuru regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreement on the same subject matter.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of BarrelGuru, LLC.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms to any affiliate or to any successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of our assets.
Nothing in these Terms creates an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship between you and BarrelGuru.
Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, pandemic, governmental action, labor dispute, or failure of utilities, internet, or third-party services.
Section headings are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
You consent to receive communications from us in electronic form (by email, in-app notification, or notice posted in the Service). You agree that all agreements, notices, and other communications we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
