Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-10-31 · Last updated: 2026-10-31

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Andrew Leary, operating as Extraction Notes (“Extraction Notes,” “we,” “us”), governing your use of extractionnotes.com, the Extraction Notes Journal, and the Extraction Notes Logbook app (together, the “Service”). Extraction Notes is a personal, non-commercial software project. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

1. A personal project

Extraction Notes is built and run by one person. It is not a commercial product, and access to the Logbook app is by invitation, either to evaluate the project or to use it for your own coffee. The Service may change, break, or be temporarily unavailable without notice, features may be added or removed, and there is no uptime commitment. We will make reasonable efforts to preserve your data. Where we can, we will tell you before a planned change that could affect your data, but we can’t promise that for an outage or any failure outside our control.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country if higher, to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement. The Service is not directed to children.

An account requires an invitation, which is personal to the email address it was sent to. Anyone may read the public site and the Journal.

3. Your account

You’re responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@extractionnotes.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

4. Your content

You own the coffee and brew records, notes, and other content you create in the Service (“Your Content”). By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, process, back up, and display Your Content back to you, and to turn a record into a share-card image when you ask for one. That license extends to the service providers we use to run the Service, described in our Privacy Policy, solely so they can provide it. We do not use Your Content to train AI models, and we do not sell it.

When you delete content or your account, we remove it on the timeline in our Privacy Policy. Copies can persist for a short period in routine encrypted backups before those backups age out.

Your records are private to your account. The Service does not publish them, and the only way to share one is to export a share-card image yourself. You’re responsible for Your Content, including any share-card image you post or send outside the Service. Don’t upload anything illegal, infringing, or that you don’t have the right to share.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to access another user’s account or data without authorization
  • Scrape, reverse-engineer, or interfere with the Service’s normal operation. Our published feeds (the Journal’s RSS, Atom, and JSON feeds) are there to be read by software, and using them as intended is fine
  • Upload malicious code or attempt to disrupt the Service for other users
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, and we may remove content that violates these Terms or the law.

6. Fees

The Service is free. There are no paid plans, and nothing in the Service will charge you. If that ever changes, it will be under new terms that you see and accept before anything is charged.

7. Third-party services

The Service uses third-party providers described in our Privacy Policy (including optional “Sign in with Google”). Your use of those providers’ own services is subject to their own terms.

8. Intellectual property

The Extraction Notes name, logo, and branding are our property. Other than Your Content, everything else that makes up the Service (design, code, text we write) is our property or our licensors’, and these Terms don’t grant you any rights to it beyond using the Service as intended.

9. Copyright complaints and reporting content

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@extractionnotes.com with the subject line “Copyright Notice.” Include your contact details, identification of the work, the URL of the material you’re reporting, a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn’t authorized, a statement that your notice is accurate, and your physical or electronic signature. We remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers’ accounts.

Use the same address to report any other content you believe breaks these Terms or the law. We review reports and take action where warranted.

10. Feedback

If you send us feedback or feature requests, we may use them to improve the Service without restriction and without any obligation to you. Feedback isn’t confidential, so don’t send us anything you need kept secret.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Any taste insights, recommendations, or predictions the Service generates are based on your own logged data and are not guarantees. We don’t warrant they’ll be accurate or that you’ll agree with them.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits a warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including under New Jersey law.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXTRACTION NOTES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) $50.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that applicable law does not allow us to exclude. Nothing in these Terms limits any right or remedy you have under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, or under any other law, that cannot be waived by contract.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of Your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party’s rights.

14. Termination and discontinuation

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, and will make reasonable efforts to notify you and give you an opportunity to export Your Content first, except where immediate action is necessary to protect the Service or other users.

We may also discontinue the Service at any time. If we do, we will try to give you at least 30 days’ notice by email and to keep data export working during that time, so you can take your records with you. We can’t promise that if circumstances outside our control, such as a service provider ending or suspending our account, prevent it.

15. Resolving disputes

Before filing a claim, contact us at support@extractionnotes.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve the issue. Most problems can be fixed this way. Nothing in these Terms limits a right you have under the law of the place where you live that cannot be waived.

16. Governing law and courts

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. A claim that is not resolved under Section 15 will be brought in the state or federal courts located in New Jersey, except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court.

17. General

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest stay in effect.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to a successor operator of the Service, such as a company formed to run it, on notice to you.

Entire agreement and no waiver. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If we don’t enforce a provision, that isn’t a waiver of it.

Survival. Sections 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17 survive termination of your account.

Notices. We may send you notices by email to the address on your account or by in-app notice. Send us notices at the address in Section 19.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. If we make a material change, we will change the effective date above and ask you to accept the updated Terms in the app before you continue to use the Service. We may also email you. If you don’t want to accept them, you can export your data and close your account.
