Terms of Use

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Guy, who operates Sommly ("Sommly", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Sommly app or website, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Sommly.

You must be at least 18 years old, and of legal drinking age where you live, to use Sommly. By using it you confirm that you are. Your account is for you personally; please don't share it, and keep your sign-in secure. You're responsible for activity on your account, and for the accuracy of the information you give us.

Sommly helps you keep track of your wine: scan and catalogue bottles, record tastings, and get suggestions from an AI sommelier. Sommly is an early-stage product. Features, usage limits and availability may change, and parts of the app may be labelled as beta.

We may change, pause or stop any part of Sommly. If we decide to shut Sommly down, we will try to give you reasonable notice so you can export your data.

Much of the wine information in Sommly (identifications, regions, grapes, drinking windows, tasting notes, food pairings, prices, values and sommelier answers) is generated or researched automatically, including by AI models. It is meant as general, helpful guidance and may be incomplete or wrong.

• Prices and "market values" are rough references, not appraisals. Don't rely on them for insurance, sale or tax purposes.
• Drinking windows and pairings are opinions, not guarantees about a bottle's condition.
• Nothing in Sommly is medical, nutritional or professional advice. Check labels yourself for allergens such as sulphites.

You can edit most information yourself, and we appreciate corrections when something is off.

Sommly is about enjoying and understanding wine. It does not encourage excessive drinking and does not sell alcohol. Please drink responsibly, never drink and drive, and follow the laws where you live.

You own what you put into Sommly: your photos, notes, reviews, ratings and messages ("Your Content"). To run the service, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to store, process, copy and display Your Content, including sending it to our service providers and AI model providers as described in the Privacy Policy. This permission ends when Your Content is deleted from Sommly, except as described in the next paragraph.

When a bottle is identified, facts about the wine itself (such as producer, name, vintage, region and grapes, but not your photos, notes or anything that identifies you) are added to Sommly's shared Wine Library to improve results for everyone. You agree that these wine facts, and corrections you make to them, may stay in the Library permanently.

Only upload content you have the right to use. Photos you take of your own bottles are fine. Please don't upload other people's personal information or content you don't have permission to share.

When using Sommly, you agree not to:

• break any law, or use Sommly to harm, harass or deceive anyone;
• upload unlawful, offensive or infringing content, or malware;
• try to access other users' data or parts of Sommly you're not authorised to use;
• scrape, copy or bulk-download Sommly's content or Wine Library, or use automated tools to access the service;
• reverse engineer, overload or disrupt Sommly, or get around usage limits or security measures;
• misuse the AI sommelier, for example to generate content unrelated to wine at scale or to try to make it behave harmfully.

Some content in Sommly comes from third parties, such as product photos of bottles found on producer or retailer websites, and ratings or facts gathered from public sources. That content belongs to its respective owners, and trademarks such as winery names and labels belong to their holders. Their appearance in Sommly doesn't mean they endorse us.

If you own rights in content shown in Sommly and want it removed, email guyduenias@gmail.com with a link to or description of the content and your contact details. We will review it and remove it promptly where appropriate.

The Sommly app, name, logo, design, code and the Wine Library as a whole belong to us. These Terms don't give you any rights in them other than the right to use Sommly as offered.

Sommly is currently free. If we introduce paid plans, we will show you the price and terms clearly before you are asked to pay, and we will never charge you without your explicit agreement. Any paid plan will be subject to consumer protection law, including your cancellation rights.

You can stop using Sommly at any time. To delete your account and personal data, write to guyduenias@gmail.com. You can export your cellar first from Profile → Import & Export.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these Terms, or where we're required to by law. Where reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to export your data.

We work hard to make Sommly useful and reliable, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we don't promise that Sommly will be uninterrupted, error-free or always accurate, or that data will never be lost. Please keep your own records of anything important.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as loss of profit or the value of a bottle) arising from your use of Sommly, or for decisions you make based on information in the app. Our total liability to you for any claim relating to Sommly is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or ILS 100.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited by law, or any right you have as a consumer under Israeli law that cannot be waived.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel. The competent courts in Tel Aviv-Jaffa will have jurisdiction over any dispute, without affecting any mandatory right you may have to bring a claim in another court.

We may update these Terms as Sommly develops. The effective date at the top always shows the current version. If a change materially affects you, we'll let you know in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you keep using Sommly after that, the updated Terms apply. If you don't agree, you can stop using Sommly and ask us to delete your account.

Questions about these Terms? Write to guyduenias@gmail.com. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
