Terms of Use

These draft terms govern access to the Butcher Assistant closed beta. By using the beta, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. The service

Butcher Assistant provides chat-based information and tools that may help with questions related to meat, butchery, cooking, and related topics. The product is experimental and may change, be unavailable, or contain errors. We may modify, pause, or end beta access at any time.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be legally able to enter into these terms and comply with applicable law to use the beta. You are responsible for providing accurate account information, including the required phone number and city/state, safeguarding any account credentials or verification codes, and promptly notifying us of suspected unauthorized use.

3. Acceptable use

You may use the beta only for lawful, personal, or internal business purposes. You may not misuse the service; interfere with its operation or security; attempt unauthorized access; reverse engineer the service except where law permits; submit unlawful, harmful, infringing, or malicious content; use it to create or distribute harmful content; or use automated means to access the service without our permission.

4. Your content and feedback

You retain any rights you have in the content you submit. You give us permission to host, process, reproduce, and use that content only as needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the beta and as described in our Privacy Notice. Please do not submit content you do not have the right to share. If you provide feedback, you allow us to use it without restriction or compensation.

5. AI-generated information and food safety

The beta may use artificial intelligence, including third-party services such as Google Gemini and Perplexity, to produce or research responses. Outputs are generated automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for your circumstances. Review all outputs before acting on them.

The service is for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional food-safety, medical, veterinary, legal, or regulatory advice. You are responsible for safe handling, storage, preparation, labeling, and sale of food; for independently verifying information; and for following current guidance from qualified professionals and applicable authorities. Do not use the service for emergencies or time-sensitive food-safety decisions.

6. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Privacy Notice, which is incorporated into these terms. The beta requires a phone number and city/state, and collects chat content and service data as described there. Self-service deletion and data export are not yet available during the closed beta; you may contact us with a privacy request.

7. Intellectual property

We and our licensors own the service, including its software, design, branding, and related intellectual property. Subject to these terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable right to use the beta while access is provided. These terms do not grant you ownership of the service or our intellectual property.

8. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the beta is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, secure, accurate, or error-free, or that outputs will meet your needs. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Butcher Assistant and its affiliates, providers, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from or related to the beta. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

10. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access if we reasonably believe you have violated these terms, created risk for the service or others, or if the beta ends. You may stop using the beta at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive will continue after access ends.

11. Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms as the beta evolves. The updated terms will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after the revised terms take effect means you accept them, to the extent permitted by law.
