Foragers HiveTerms of Service — Foragers Hive
Last updated: November 5, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Foragers Hive, LLC ("Foragers Hive," "we," "us"). They cover this website and our app, Foragers Hive: Kombucha Tracker ("the app"). By using the website or the app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use them.
What the app is
The app is a tracking tool for home kombucha brewers: batches, reminders, SCOBY hotels, and flavor recipes. The guides and recipes on this website and in the app are general information for home brewing.
Your data
The app has no account and stores your data only on your device. We can't see it or recover it for you. If you uninstall the app or lose your device, your data goes with it — so keep a copy using the free backup in Settings (Back up data / Restore from backup, or Export batches as CSV). Restoring a backup replaces the data currently in the app.
Hive Plus
Hive Plus is an optional paid tier (unlimited batches and SCOBY hotels), bought inside the app through Google Play:
Subscriptions (monthly or annual) renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel anytime in Google Play → Subscriptions, and you keep Hive Plus until the end of the period you paid for. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends.
The lifetime option is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Founder pricing, when available, stays at the founder price while that subscription remains continuously active.
Prices are shown in Google Play before you buy, in your local currency, and may change in the future through Google Play. Refunds are handled under Google Play's refund policies.
Brewing information — please read this part
Fermentation works with live cultures, and results vary. Our content is general guidance, not food-safety, medical, or professional advice. You're responsible for your own batches and for judging whether anything you brew is fit to drink. When in doubt, throw it out. You brew and consume at your own discretion.
Acceptable use
Use the website and app lawfully and as intended. Don't try to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the website, and don't misuse the app or its content.
No warranty, and limits
The website and app are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Foragers Hive, LLC is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the website or the app.
Changes
If these terms change, the updated version will be posted here with a new date. Continuing to use the website or app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA.
