These terms are the agreement between you and Drinx for using the Drinx app and this website. We kept them as plain as we could. Please read them, because by using Drinx you agree to them.
1. About these terms
1.1 These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Drinx (“Drinx”, “we”, “us”). They cover the Drinx app, the website at thedrinxapp.com, share links, and every feature and service we offer through them, including the AI features (together, the “Service”).
1.2 Our privacy policy explains how we handle your personal data. It is not part of this agreement, but please read it alongside these Terms.
1.3 You accept these Terms when you create an account or otherwise use the Service. The sign-in screen says so: by creating an account, you accept these Terms and the privacy policy, including usage analytics (section 3.4). If you don’t agree, please don’t use Drinx. Some features, such as Community, ask you to confirm again when you turn them on.
2. Who can use Drinx
2.1 You must be at least 16 years old to use Drinx. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that a parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms with you.
2.2 Drinx includes recipes with alcohol. These are only for people who have reached the legal drinking age where they live: 18 in the Netherlands, and higher in some countries. If you are under that age, use Drinx only for drinks without alcohol, such as mocktails, smoothies and juices.
2.3 You may not use Drinx if the law where you live forbids it, or if we have previously removed your account for breaking these Terms.
3. Your account
3.1 To use Drinx you sign in with Apple or Google. Drinx keeps your drinks, pantry, shopping list, log and taste profile in your account, so they stay with you across devices and reinstalls, and Community features need an account to work. You can delete your account in the app at any time (section 13.1). Your sign-in is subject to their terms. With Sign in with Apple you can hide your email address behind an Apple relay address.
3.2 You are responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your Apple or Google sign-in safe, and tell us at humans@thedrinxapp.com if you think someone else is using your account.
3.3 One person, one account. Don’t share your account, sell it or transfer it to someone else.
3.4 Usage analytics. Drinx sends usage analytics and crash reports so we can see which features help and fix problems. They never contain what you write or say, and the privacy policy explains exactly what they include. They are on when you create your account. You can turn them off at any time in Profile → Privacy and data → Share usage analytics, and you can delete your account and data at any time in Profile → Privacy and data → Delete account and data (section 13.1).
4. Drink responsibly
4.1 Drinx helps you find and make drinks. We don’t sell, serve or deliver alcohol, and nothing in Drinx encourages you to drink alcohol or to drink more of it.
4.2 If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation and in line with the law where you live. Never drink and drive. Don’t drink alcohol if you are pregnant, may be pregnant, take medication that interacts with alcohol, or have a medical condition that alcohol can make worse.
4.3 Alcohol amounts and strengths in recipes are estimates. You decide what you pour and what you drink.
5. AI, recipes and health
5.1 Some features in Drinx use artificial intelligence, for example to import recipes, make suggestions, answer in chat, fill in ingredient and nutrition information and create drink pictures (“AI Output”). The privacy policy explains which providers we use and what data they receive.
5.2 AI Output can be wrong. AI-generated recipes, amounts, alcohol content, nutrition and allergen information can be incorrect or incomplete. Always check ingredients for allergies and intolerances, check what you make before you drink it, and drink responsibly (section 4). Drink pictures are illustrations, not photos of the real drink.
5.3 Drinx is not medical, nutritional or dietary advice. Talk to a doctor or dietitian if you have questions about your health or diet.
5.4 Recipes shared by other users or found on other websites are not checked by us, and a link to another website doesn’t mean we endorse it.
5.5 AI Output created for you counts as your content under section 9, except drink pictures and the recipe catalog, which are explained there.
7. Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users
7.1 Drinx has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. You may not post, share, upload or send anything, in a username, profile photo, drink name, recipe, note, report or any other content (“User Content”), that is:
- hateful, discriminatory, harassing, bullying or threatening, including slurs in any language or spelling;
- sexual, pornographic or sexually suggestive, and anything at all that sexualises minors;
- violent or gory, or that promotes self-harm or suicide;
- promoting dangerous or excessive drinking, drinking games aimed at getting drunk, drinking by minors, drink driving, or illegal drug use;
- someone else’s private information, such as their address, phone number, email or photos, shared without their consent (doxxing);
- spam, advertising, scams, phishing, or attempts to collect other people’s data;
- pretending to be another person, a brand or Drinx;
- infringing someone else’s rights, such as copyright, trademarks or privacy;
- otherwise unlawful.
7.2 You also may not abuse other users, for example by following, messaging or reporting them to harass them, or by creating new accounts to get around a block or a ban.
8. Filtering, reporting and blocking
8.1 Filtering. We check usernames, profile photos, shared drinks and drink names automatically before other people see them, and we may refuse or remove content that fails these checks. No filter is perfect, so we also rely on your reports.
8.2 Reporting. You can report any user or shared drink from its menu in the app. You can also email humans@thedrinxapp.com. We review reports of objectionable content and act within 24 hours: we remove content that breaks these Terms and remove the user who posted it where needed. Accounts reported by several people may be hidden automatically while we review them.
8.3 Blocking and muting. You can block any user. Blocking removes any follow between you, stops them sending you drinks, and hides you from each other. The person you block isn’t told. You can also mute people so you no longer see their activity.
8.4 What we can do. If you break these Terms, we can remove your content, hide your profile, remove your username or photo, limit features, or suspend or end your account. We may do this without notice where needed to protect other users or Drinx. Serious or repeated breaches lead to a permanent ban. Where the law requires it, we tell you what we did and why, and you can ask us to look at it again by emailing humans@thedrinxapp.com.
8.5 Don’t misuse reports. False, bulk or retaliatory reporting is itself a breach of these Terms.
9. Your content
9.1 It stays yours. You keep all rights you have in your User Content. We don’t claim ownership of it.
9.2 The permission you give us. So we can run Drinx, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, display, adapt (for example, to format a recipe, translate units or generate a picture) and distribute your User Content, to you and, when you share it, to the people you chose and to anyone with a share link you created. We may let our service providers use this licence only to run Drinx for us, and we may only transfer it together with Drinx itself.
9.3 How long it lasts. For private content, the licence lasts as long as it is stored in your account. For shared content, it lasts until you unshare it or turn off its link, change who can see it to only you, turn Community off or delete your account. A drink you sent in a message stays with the person you sent it to for up to 365 days, or until one of you deletes their account. After that, we only keep copies the law requires us to keep, and copies in backups until they are overwritten. Three things stay, by the nature of the Service:
- drinks other people already saved to their own Drinx stay with them;
- drink pictures generated by AI are shared Drinx images and stay available, without any link to you;
- recipes imported into the shared recipe catalog are kept without your name or account details, so the same recipe isn’t processed twice.
9.4 Your promise. You confirm that you have the right to share what you share, and that it doesn’t break these Terms or anyone else’s rights. Only share recipes and photos that are yours or that you have permission to share.
9.5 Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely, without paying you or naming you.
10. Our app and brand
10.1 Drinx, the app, the website, the Drinx name and logo, and the design and software of the Service belong to us or our licensors. The app is licensed to you, not sold.
10.2 We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app for your own non-commercial purposes, on devices you own or control, in line with these Terms and, for the iPhone app, the App Store Usage Rules.
11. Using Drinx fairly
11.1 You may not:
- try to break, test or get around Drinx’s security, privacy settings, blocks, moderation or limits;
- scrape, crawl or copy Drinx content in bulk, or use bots, scripts or automated accounts;
- reverse engineer, decompile or modify the app, except where the law allows this despite this clause;
- use Drinx to build a profile of other users or to track them;
- resell Drinx, use it commercially, or use it to build a competing product or train AI models, without our written permission;
- overload or interfere with our servers or the people who use them.
11.2 To keep Drinx working for everyone, we may limit how often you can follow, search, import, share, send, report or use the AI features.
12. New features and changes to Drinx
12.1 Drinx keeps developing. We may add, change, suspend or remove features at any time, for valid reasons such as new or improved features, security, keeping the Service working, changes in the law, or changes by the providers we depend on.
12.2 These Terms and our privacy policy apply to new features as soon as they are released. When a new feature needs new rules, we update these Terms, change the “Last updated” date and tell you about material changes in the app or by email, as described in section 19.
12.3 Changes are free of charge for you. If a change has more than a minor negative effect on your access to or use of Drinx, we tell you clearly in advance, and you can end the agreement free of charge by deleting your account. If we stop offering Drinx altogether, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance where we reasonably can, so you have time to save what you want.
12.4 Drinx is free. If we offer paid features, additional terms will apply. We will show you those terms, the price and how billing works before you buy, and your statutory rights as a consumer, such as the EU right of withdrawal where it applies, stay in place.
13. Suspending and ending
13.1 You can stop using Drinx at any time. To delete your account and data, open Profile → Privacy and data → “Delete account and data”. What is deleted, and what isn’t, is explained in the privacy policy.
13.2 We may suspend or end your account under section 8.4, or if we must do so by law. Section 12 covers changes to features and what happens if we stop offering Drinx.
13.3 Sections 5, 9.3 to 9.5, 10, 15 to 18 and 20 continue after your account ends, as far as they are relevant.
14. Other services
Drinx works with services from other companies, such as Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, Apple Maps for nearby places, and web image search. When you use them, their own terms and privacy policies also apply, and you must follow them. We are not responsible for those services or for websites we link to.
15. Apple App Store terms
If you downloaded Drinx from Apple’s App Store, the following also applies:
- These Terms are between you and Drinx only, not with Apple. Drinx, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
- Your licence to use the app is limited to Apple-branded products that you own or control, as allowed by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
- Apple has no obligation at all to provide maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app. Any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses caused by a failure to conform to a warranty are Drinx’s responsibility, as far as these Terms allow.
- Drinx, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
- If a third party claims that the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, Drinx, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that the U.S. Government has designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Questions, complaints or claims about the app go to Drinx at humans@thedrinxapp.com.
- You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app, for example the terms of your mobile carrier or internet provider.
- Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Once you accept them, Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Where these Terms don’t cover something about your licence to the app, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies.
16. Your statutory rights
16.1 We work hard to keep Drinx available, safe and correct, but we provide the Service “as is” and “as available”. We can’t promise that it will always work without interruption or errors, or that AI Output and other users’ content will be correct.
16.2 Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including your right under the law to digital content and services that conform to the agreement (in the Netherlands, Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code).
17. Liability
17.1 To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, such as lost profits or lost data you could have saved, or for loss caused by User Content of other users, AI Output you relied on despite section 5, or services of other companies.
17.2 To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or €100 if that is more.
17.3 These limits do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for damage caused by our intent or gross negligence, for fraud, or to any other liability that the law does not allow us to limit or exclude.
18. Law and disputes
18.1 Dutch law applies to these Terms and to your use of Drinx. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer law of that country.
18.2 If something goes wrong, please contact us first at humans@thedrinxapp.com. Most problems can be solved quickly that way.
18.3 Disputes go to the competent court in the Netherlands. If you are a consumer, you may also take a dispute to the court where you live, and we can only take you to court there.
18.4 We do not use arbitration, and nothing in these Terms takes away your right to join a collective action that the law gives you.
19. Changes to these terms
19.1 We may update these Terms, for example when we add features or the law changes. When we do, we change the “Last updated” date at the top. Earlier versions are available on request.
19.2 For material changes, we tell you in the app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect, unless a change is needed sooner for legal or safety reasons. If you keep using Drinx after that, the new Terms apply. If you don’t agree, you can delete your account before then.
19.3 Changes to how we process your personal data follow the privacy policy, and we ask for your consent where the law requires it.
20. General
20.1 These Terms, together with any extra terms for a feature you agree to, are the whole agreement between you and us about Drinx.
20.2 If a court finds part of these Terms invalid, the rest stays in force, and the invalid part is replaced by a valid one that comes as close as possible to what was intended.
20.3 If we don’t enforce a right straight away, we don’t give it up.
20.4 You may not transfer your rights under these Terms to someone else. We may transfer them to a company that takes over Drinx, as long as your rights as a consumer don’t get worse. We will tell you if that happens.
20.5 Nobody other than you, us and, under section 15, Apple and its subsidiaries can enforce these Terms.
