Terms of Use
Draft of 10 November 2026. Not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
1. Who and what
These terms cover the website www.getrickhouse.com and the Rickhouse iPhone app, offered by Zachary Welker ("I"). By using them, you agree to these terms. If you don't, please don't use them. How I handle personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.
2. The software and its license
The Rickhouse server software is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 or later (see the LICENSE file in the repository). Nothing in these terms limits the rights that license gives you. The Rickhouse name, logo and brand artwork are not covered by that license, and the screenshots and writing on this website may not be reused without my permission.
3. The iPhone app
The app is licensed to you under Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, together with these terms where they don't conflict with it.
4. Your server and your data
Rickhouse stores your collection on a server that you or someone else runs. I don't host it or have access to it. You are responsible for that server's security, updates and backups, and for the data on it. If you let other people use your server, you are responsible to them.
5. Adults, and drinking responsibly
Rickhouse is a record-keeping tool for adults of legal drinking age. It isn't advice about alcohol, health or what you should drink, and it doesn't encourage drinking to excess.
6. No warranty
The website, app and software are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. I don't promise they will be error-free, always available, or that data will never be lost.
7. Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for lost data, lost profits, or indirect or consequential damages from using Rickhouse, and my total liability is limited to what you paid me, which for a free product is nothing. This doesn't limit any liability that can't legally be limited, and it doesn't affect consumer rights you have under the law where you live.
8. Third-party services
Rickhouse can connect to services I don't control, such as Have I Been Pwned, the US TTB's public registry, Cloudflare, and sign-in providers like Google. Their own terms and privacy policies apply, and I am not responsible for them.
9. Support
I will try to help at help@getrickhouse.com, but support is best-effort, with no guaranteed response time.
10. Changes
I may update these terms and will change the date above. Continued use after a change means you accept it. Changes don't affect your rights under the AGPL.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts located in New York City, New York. If you are a consumer, you keep any mandatory protections of the law where you live.
