Terms & Conditions of Use
Last updated: May 6, 2026
1. Who we are
Bartenderfy ("the Platform", "we") is a global digital hub aimed exclusively at professional bartenders, mixologists, cocktail students and beverage industry professionals. We offer a public profile with a personalized URL, a digital recipe book, a work gallery, an event quote calculator, an AI-powered mixology assistant, and PDF export of recipes and quotes. For any inquiries you can reach us at Contact.
2. Acceptance of terms
3. Minimum age and responsible consumption
Bartenderfy is restricted to persons of legal drinking age in their country of residence (minimum 18 years, or 21 where applicable, such as the United States). By creating an account you confirm that you meet this requirement. The Platform has a strictly educational and professional purpose: we do not sell, distribute or promote alcohol consumption. We always promote responsible consumption and discourage any practice that may endanger the health of yourself or others.
4. User account and sign-in methods
You can register with email and password, or sign in with your Google account. Google sign-in is handled through Lovable Cloud, which acts as an OAuth authentication broker: we never receive or store your Google password. You are responsible for:
- Providing truthful, current and complete information in your account and profile.
- Keeping your access credentials confidential.
- All activity performed from your account.
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use.
- Not impersonating others or using misleading or offensive usernames.
5. Plans, subscriptions and payments
Bartenderfy offers a free plan (Free) and paid plans (Pro and Pro+) with additional features. Payments are processed through Stripe, our PCI-DSS certified provider, via embedded checkout. By subscribing you accept:
- Automatic recurring billing on the cycle you choose (monthly or annual).
- Automatic renewal until you cancel from your panel or from the Stripe billing portal.
- That prices may change with at least 30 days' prior notice by email.
- The refund policy: as digital services with immediate access, payments are non-refundable except where required by law or in case of a demonstrable billing error.
- That post-payment return URLs are restricted to verified Bartenderfy domains for security reasons.
6. User content
You are solely responsible for the content you upload (recipes, gallery photos, bio, quotes, AI conversations, etc.). When publishing content on the Platform:
- You declare that you own the rights or have authorization to use it.
- You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display and distribute such content within the Platform for operational purposes.
- You retain ownership and can delete your content at any time from your panel.
- You agree that content marked as public (public profile, recipes and gallery) may be indexed by search engines and visible to any visitor.
Quote requests (LEADS): only profiles with an active PRO or PRO+ plan can receive requests from their public profile. By activating a plan that enables LEADS, you agree to receive the personal data (name, contact details, event description) that visitors submit through the form and you act as the data controller of that data toward the end client: you must use it solely to respond to the inquiry, keep it only for as long as necessary, and honor the rights the client may exercise (access, rectification, deletion). Bartenderfy acts as the data processor that transmits and stores the request in your dashboard.
Monthly Challenges and Bartender of the Month: the Platform runs themed competitions open to the entire community. By taking part, you agree that your recipe and public profile data (name, city, country, avatar, social links) will be displayed on the voting and ranking pages and, if you win, in the Bartender of the Month section and on the home page. Each user has one vote per challenge; votes are anonymous to other participants, but we record an anonymized technical identifier (hashed IP and, where applicable, account identifier) to detect and invalidate duplicate or fraudulent votes. We reserve the right to disqualify entries that violate these terms, plagiarize recipes, manipulate the vote or use bots, and to declare a challenge void when minimum conditions are not met. Prizes, if any, are explicitly announced in each call; recognition as Bartender of the Month and the permanent profile badge do not constitute employment or any promise of remuneration.
7. Prohibited conduct
The following is strictly prohibited:
- Publishing illegal, offensive, discriminatory, sexual or violent content.
- Promoting the abuse of alcohol or drugs.
- Impersonating others, breaching Platform security or performing mass scraping.
- Using the Platform for spam, fraud or unauthorized commercial activity.
- Infringing third-party intellectual property rights (trademarks, registered recipes, protected photographs).
- Abusing the AI Mixologist to generate prohibited content or to circumvent our usage limits.
Non-compliance may result in immediate suspension, account deletion and, where appropriate, a complaint to the competent authorities.
8. AI Mixologist and automated tools
The AI Mixologist uses Google and OpenAI models through the Lovable AI Gateway. Recipes, suggestions and content it generates are for guidance and educational purposes. They may contain errors, omissions or outdated information. You are responsible for professionally validating any recipe, cost, pairing or procedure before applying it in a real service, especially regarding allergens, intolerances and local regulations. Use of the assistant may be subject to limits according to your plan.
9. Intellectual property
The Bartenderfy trademark, its logo, design, source code, database and other elements are the exclusive property of their owners and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. No license is granted other than the ordinary use of the Platform as a registered user.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bartenderfy is provided "as is" and we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability or absolute accuracy of information. We will not be liable for indirect damages, loss of profits, loss of data or damages arising from the use or inability to use the Platform, including the temporary unavailability of third-party providers (Stripe, AI providers, hosting).
11. Termination
You can close your account at any time from your panel. We reserve the right to suspend or delete accounts that violate these terms, with prior notice when reasonably possible.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms to reflect legal, technical or business changes. Substantial changes will be notified by email or via a prominent notice on the Platform at least 15 days in advance.
13. Applicable law and jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the legislation applicable to the user's declared country of residence, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules that may apply. Any dispute will first be submitted to a good-faith mediation process.
14. Contact
For any inquiries, complaints or exercise of rights related to these Terms, you can write to us at Contact. We will respond within a maximum of 30 business days.
