Using Synapsiscoffee means accepting what follows. It is short on purpose, written to be read rather than to be impossible to read, and it says what we owe you and what we do not.
The content
We wrote the coffee brewing content here and we keep the rights to it. Personal use is the point of publishing; lifting an entire page for another site is not personal use. A quoted sentence with attribution is fine.
The site as it is
Expect the site to change. Pages are corrected, restructured and now and then taken down, and there is no undertaking that any URL will keep working or keep saying the same thing.
Acceptable use
- Read, print and share links freely. That is what the site is for.
- Do not scrape the site wholesale, automated or otherwise, and do not run it through a tool that republishes it elsewhere.
- Do not present our text as your own, translated or reworded.
- Do not attempt to break, overload or probe the site.
Brand names
Any trademark referred to remains the property of its owner. Naming a product is how you write usefully about it; it does not mean the maker endorses us or we represent them.
Data
Data handling is dealt with elsewhere: the privacy policy and the cookie policy apply alongside these terms.
The limits of what you read here
None of this constitutes professional advice, and it should not be the last thing you read before an expensive or risky decision. General information is what a website can honestly offer.
On accuracy
We verify before publishing and we still cannot certify that a value transfers to your setup unchanged. Read every number as a place to start.
Reader contributions
If comments are open, what you write stays yours, and you grant us permission to display it alongside the article. We moderate: anything abusive, off-topic or promotional is removed without discussion, and repeat offenders are blocked.
Liability limits
To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for loss arising from your use of the site, including consequential loss. Where liability cannot be excluded by law, it is not excluded here either.
Links out
Where a source is worth reading we link to it. Those sites are run by other people and we answer for none of their content.
How the site is funded
Advertising and affiliate commission fund the site. The details, including what commission does not buy, are on the affiliate disclosure page.
Legal footing
Disputes are governed by United States law. Severability applies: one invalid clause leaves the rest intact. Where consumer law grants a right that cannot be contracted away, it prevails over this page.
What is covered
Taken with the privacy and cookie policies, this page is the complete set of terms. Correspondence does not modify it, and neither does anything published on a social account.
Revisions
These terms can change. The version on this page is the one that applies, and continuing to use the site after a change is how acceptance is given. We do not notify each reader individually, so the page itself is the record.
