VarroaVault is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, VarroaVault disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

VarroaVault shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, revenue, or profits.

VarroaVault is a hive management tool and does not provide veterinary advice. Treatment recommendations are based on general best practices and should not replace consultation with a licensed apiary inspector or veterinarian. Always consult a professional for decisions regarding colony health.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email or through the Service. Your continued use of VarroaVault after any modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
