Terms of Service

Last updated: August 3, 2026 · Version: 2026-08-03

1. Parties and Subject Matter

This document is a public offer by Individual Entrepreneur MAKSIM GUSEV (hereinafter — the "Rightholder"), addressed to any legally capable adult individual (hereinafter — the "User"), to enter into an agreement on the use of the Between Bubbles service on the terms set out below.

The service is the Between Bubbles web application: a personal wine tasting diary available at winesdiary.com and app.winesdiary.com. The service is intended for personal, non-commercial use: keeping track of what the User has tasted and of their own impressions.

2. Conclusion of the Agreement

The agreement is considered concluded at the moment the User, during registration, ticks the consent checkbox for these terms and the privacy policy and creates an account. The service records the date of consent and the document version in effect at that moment. No separate signing on paper is required.

3. Age Restriction

The service is available only to individuals who have reached 18 years of age. The date of birth is requested during registration; providing false information is grounds for immediate account suspension. Excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to your health. The service does not provide medical advice, does not encourage consumption, and is not an advertisement for alcoholic beverages.

4. License Grant (What the User Receives)

The Rightholder grants the User a personal, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the service for its intended purpose: to keep tasting entries, store photos, maintain a personal wine directory, view weekly metrics and statistics, export their data, and publish individual entries via a link. This license is not transferable to third parties.

The service is currently provided free of charge. The set of features may change and expand. If paid features appear, their terms will be published in advance as a separate document; the export of data already created remains available in any case.

5. Account Security

• The password and access to the email account are the User's sole responsibility. Actions performed under the account are considered performed by the User.
• If you suspect your account has been compromised, change the password immediately: doing so revokes all active sessions on all devices.
• The email address is used for service messages: address confirmation, password recovery, and notifications about changes to these terms. The service does not send marketing emails.

6. User Data and Content

• Entries, wine cards, notes, and photos remain yours. By using the service, the User grants the Rightholder a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and display this content solely to the extent technically necessary to operate the service, include it in your export, and display it in a publication you created.
• The User confirms and warrants that they are entitled to upload these photos and texts and that these do not infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of third parties.
• It is strictly prohibited to upload other people's personal data, unlawful materials, abusive content, or advertising.
• Store names enter a shared directory and become available to other Users when selecting a store; the link between a name and its author is not shown in the interface and is erased together with the account.

7. Publishing an Entry via a Link

• A link is created only by the User's explicit action. The address consists of 16 random characters and cannot be found by brute force.
• The publication includes photos, the wine and its characteristics, the rating, taste category, impressions, and notes, as well as the User's name — only if enabled in the settings. Price, store, email address, and other entries are not included.
• The link can be revoked in one click, after which the page stops opening. Copies, screenshots, and messenger caches made while the link was active are outside the Rightholder's control and responsibility.
• A published page is closed to indexing by search engines.

8. Usage Restrictions

The following actions are strictly prohibited: interfering with the operation of the service, bypassing rate limits, collecting data by automated means (scraping), attempting to gain unauthorized access to other users' diaries, probing security vulnerabilities without the Rightholder's written permission, and using the service for unlawful purposes or to promote alcoholic beverages.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. The Rightholder explicitly disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. The Rightholder does not guarantee uninterrupted operation or the absence of errors: scheduled maintenance, updates, and outages caused by providers are possible. Database backups are made regularly; nevertheless, the User is strongly advised to keep their own export — it is available in the settings in CSV and JSON formats at any time.

10. Limitation of Liability

The service is a personal record-keeping tool, not medical, dietary, or other professional advice. Decisions about alcohol consumption are made by the User independently and at their own responsibility. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Rightholder shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, arising out of the use of or inability to use the service.

11. Termination

• The User may delete their account in the settings at any time. Deletion is soft: for 30 days recovery upon request remains possible, after which the data is deleted irreversibly.
• The Rightholder reserves the right to suspend or terminate access in the event of a breach of these terms, a false date of birth, a threat to the operability or security of the service, or as required by law, where possible with prior notice by email.
• If the service is discontinued entirely, the Rightholder will notify Users at least 30 days in advance and will keep data export available until that date.

12. Changes to the Terms

A new version is published on this page with an updated date and version number. The Rightholder notifies Users of material changes at the email address provided during registration and, where necessary, requests consent again. Continued use of the service after a new version takes effect constitutes agreement with it.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

This agreement is governed by the laws of Georgia. The parties resolve disputes by correspondence: a request is sent to [email protected], with a response time of 30 days. Unresolved disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Georgia at the location of the Rightholder.
