Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and Vowel Labs LLC ("we", "us"), which operates TasteBuddy at tastebuddy.dev (the "game"). By playing, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the game.
The game is for entertainment
TasteBuddy is a guessing game. The taste profiles, rarity scores and results it shows are our own estimates, made for fun. They are not measurements and may be wrong.
Nothing in the game is dietary, nutritional, allergy, medical or safety advice. Do not rely on it to decide what to eat or drink. Some items on the food list are ingredients, flavourings or drinks (including alcoholic drinks) that are not meant to be consumed on their own, in quantity, or by everyone. Naming an item in the game is not a suggestion to consume it.
Who can play
The game is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, play with the permission of a parent or guardian.
What you may and may not do
You may play the game for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may share your results and links to the game.
You may not copy, scrape or redistribute the game, its artwork, its code or its food list and scores; reverse engineer it to build a competing product; interfere with its operation or security; or use it in any way that breaks the law.
Ownership
The game, including its name, artwork, character, text, code and the compilation of foods and scores, belongs to Vowel Labs LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These terms do not transfer any ownership to you. Third-party materials we use are listed on the Credits page.
Brand and product names
Some foods are best known by a brand name, and the game may recognise those names so players can type what they know. Those names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Their appearance in the game is only to identify the food. It does not mean the owner sponsors, endorses or is affiliated with TasteBuddy, and the taste and rarity scores shown for them are our own estimates, not statements by the brand owner.
If you own a brand and want a name removed or corrected, email hello@tastebuddy.dev and we will act on it promptly.
Feedback
If you send us suggestions, corrections or ideas, you agree we may use them without payment or obligation to you.
Availability and changes
We may change, suspend or end the game, or any part of it, at any time. Scores, food lists and features may change without notice.
No warranty
The game is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Vowel Labs LLC and its owners, staff and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the game. Our total liability for any claim relating to the game will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50.
Some places do not allow certain limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the updated terms.
