Terms and Conditions
Last updated: 22 September 2026
Who we are
The Maruva website at maruva.app and the Maruva mobile application (together, the Service) are run by the operator of the Service. Contact:
- dev@maruva.app
In these Terms, we, us and our mean the operator of the Service; you means the person using the Service.
Acceptance of these Terms
By accessing the website, creating an account or using the application you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to bind it.
Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country if that is higher, to create an account. The Service is not directed at children.
Accounts
- Provide accurate registration details and keep them current.
- You are responsible for activity under your account and for the security of your credentials and of any third-party sign-in provider you use to access it.
- Tell us promptly at dev@maruva.app if you believe your account has been compromised.
- You may ask us to close your account at any time by writing to us.
What the Service is, and what it is not
The Service provides catalogue information, brewing parameters, personalised recommendations and a drinking diary for coffee, tea and matcha. Recommendations are generated automatically, including by machine-learning models, from your stated preferences and recorded history.
- Recommendations are suggestions for your consideration, not professional advice.
- The Service does not provide medical, nutritional or dietary advice. Coffee, tea and matcha contain caffeine. If you are pregnant, taking medication, or have a medical condition or a known allergy or intolerance, consult a qualified professional and rely on the product's own packaging, not on the Service.
- Product data — including origin, composition, allergens, roast or harvest dates, price and availability — is collected from producers, retailers and public sources. We take care with it but cannot guarantee that it is complete, current or accurate. The seller's own information always prevails.
- Brewing guidance involves hot water and equipment. Follow your equipment manufacturer's safety instructions.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- break the law, infringe anyone's rights, or use the Service to harass or harm others;
- upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, obscene, or that you have no right to share;
- scrape, crawl, bulk-download or otherwise systematically extract data from the Service, or resell any part of it;
- probe, overload or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure, or bypass any rate limit, authentication or usage restriction;
- reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code of the application, except where that restriction is prohibited by law;
- use automated systems to create accounts, or share an account with others.
Your content
You keep ownership of the notes, ratings, photographs and other content you add. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display that content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service, for as long as you keep it in the Service. You confirm that you have the rights necessary to grant that licence. We may remove content that breaches these Terms.
Our content
The Service, its software, design, text, the Maruva name and logo, and the compiled catalogue and recommendation data are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to use the application for your own non-commercial use. No other rights are granted. Third-party trademarks, product names and images remain the property of their owners and are used to identify those products.
Third-party products, sellers and links
We do not sell coffee, tea, matcha or equipment. Where the Service links to a retailer, producer or café, the contract for any purchase is between you and that third party, on their terms. Some links may earn us a commission at no additional cost to you; a commission never changes the ranking of a recommendation. We are not responsible for third-party sites, their content or their goods.
Paid features
Parts of the Service may be offered as a paid subscription. Where a subscription is bought through the Apple App Store or Google Play, it is billed and renewed by that store under its own terms, and cancellations and refunds are handled there; manage or cancel it in your store account settings before the renewal date. Prices are shown before purchase and include taxes where required. We may change prices for future billing periods with reasonable notice.
Pre-release and beta software
The Service is under development and may be offered to you as a beta or test release. Beta releases are provided as-is, may be incomplete or unstable, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and may lose data. Do not rely on a beta release as your only record of anything.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend or discontinue features, and may impose reasonable usage limits. We will give notice of material changes that reduce functionality you rely on where it is reasonable to do so.
Personal data
We process personal data as described in our Privacy Notice, which forms part of your relationship with us. You can request access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of your data — from within the application where those controls are provided, or by writing to dev@maruva.app.
Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", and we exclude all implied warranties, including fitness for a particular purpose and accuracy of content. Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or right that cannot be excluded by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss arising from your reliance on a recommendation or on third-party product information. Our total liability arising out of or in connection with the Service in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in that period and EUR 100. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Termination
You may stop using the Service and ask us to delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination the licences granted to you end; the sections on your content, our content, disclaimers, liability and governing law survive.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. The current version is always published at maruva.app/terms.html with the date of the last change. If a change is material we will give notice in the application or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the new version.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, and the courts of Ukraine have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and may bring proceedings there. Please contact us first at dev@maruva.app — most issues are resolved that way.
