Terms of Use

Fermory is a journal, not food-safety advice

Fermory helps you keep time and keep notes. It cannot see, smell or test your food, and it never tells you whether something is safe to eat. Day counts, plans, reminders and measurements are records you keep — not signs that a batch is ready or safe. The short cautions shown for built-in types are general information from the credited sources, not a substitute for a tested recipe or professional advice.

You are responsible for what you make and eat. Follow a tested recipe, keep good hygiene, and when in doubt, throw it out.

Your content

Everything you log in Fermory is yours and stays on your device. We don’t receive it, store it or claim any rights to it. Because there is no copy on our side, keeping a backup — through your phone’s backup or Fermory’s export — is up to you.

Using the app

We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to use Fermory on devices you own or control, under these terms and the rules of the App Store or Google Play you got it from. Please don’t copy, resell or reverse-engineer the app, or use it to break the law.

Fermory Plus subscriptions

• Fermory Plus is an optional, auto-renewing subscription sold through the App Store or Google Play. Prices and billing periods are shown in the store and in the app before you buy.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account when you confirm the purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can cancel or manage your subscription at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Plus stays on until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
• If a free trial is offered and you subscribe during it, any unused part of the trial ends when the paid period starts.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.
• When Plus ends, your data is untouched: everything stays viewable, editable, exportable and deletable, and every batch keeps running with its reminders.

Availability and changes

We work to keep Fermory reliable, but it is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. Reminders depend on your device’s notification settings and may be delayed or blocked by the system. We may update the app and these terms; if a change matters, we’ll say so in the app or on this page, and the date above will change.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, Fermory and its makers aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for illness, injury or spoiled food arising from anything you make while using the app. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be limited.

Apple-specific terms

If you use Fermory on an Apple device, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. Apple is not responsible for the app or its support, and has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it.
