Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-05-03
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using Sourdough Hydration Adjuster at sourdough-hydration-adjuster.hub2.day ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
2. Informational and Convenience-Only Use
The hydration calculator and all content on the Site are provided for informational and convenience purposes only. The tool helps you estimate how much flour or water to add to reach a target hydration percentage based on the numbers you enter. Baking outcomes depend on many variables—flour type, humidity, fermentation, technique—that this calculator cannot account for.
3. No Professional Advice
Nothing on this Site constitutes professional baking advice, culinary instruction, food safety guidance, or any other professional service. Always use your own judgment and verify critical measurements independently. If you are baking for commercial purposes or have specific dietary or safety concerns, consult a qualified professional.
4. Verification of Outputs
You are solely responsible for verifying any calculated values before relying on them. While we strive for accuracy, mathematical errors, rounding, or browser-specific behavior could produce unexpected results. We recommend double-checking calculations manually, especially for large batches or sensitive recipes.
5. Lawful Use and Prohibited Misuse
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms. You must not:
- Use the Site in any way that violates applicable local, national, or international law.
- Attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site, including through automated scripts, bots, or denial-of-service attacks.
- Introduce malicious code, viruses, or harmful components.
- Scrape, data-mine, or systematically extract content from the Site without prior written permission.
- Use the Site to transmit unsolicited commercial communications or spam.
6. Advertisements and Third-Party Content
The Site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense and may include links to third-party websites or resources. We do not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for any third-party content, products, or services. Interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your dealings with third parties encountered through the Site.
7. Intellectual Property
The Site's name, domain, design, text, and underlying code are the intellectual property of Sourdough Hydration Adjuster. You may view and use the Site for personal, non-commercial baking purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Site without express written permission. The hydration calculation methodology itself is a general mathematical concept and is not claimed as proprietary.
8. Availability and Changes
We strive to keep the Site available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may suspend, withdraw, or modify the Site or any feature at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted; your continued use after revisions means you accept the updated Terms.
9. Disclaimers
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the calculator results will be accurate, reliable, or suitable for your specific dough or starter. We make no guarantees about the safety, quality, or outcome of any bread or baked good produced using information from this Site.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SOURDOUGH HYDRATION ADJUSTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including but not limited to loss of ingredients, wasted time, unsatisfactory baking results, or any other damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the Site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the twelve months preceding the claim, or ten US dollars, whichever is greater.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sourdough Hydration Adjuster and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.
12. Disputes and Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the Site operator is based, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. You waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration.
13. Privacy
Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle data. Please review it to understand our practices.
