Terms of use
Introduction
Thanks for visiting caffeineinformer.com (“Website”).
The information contained in this Website is for general information purposes only.
We started the Website because we strongly believe consumers have a right to know how much caffeine is in a particular product. Collating the information is a labor of love, and thus our Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) are long and detailed to ensure the information we provide is not used (or misused) unlawfully. Please make sure you are familiar with and comfortable with the following Terms before you use the Website. By using the Website you acknowledge, accept and agree to be bound to the Terms.
In addition to agreeing to the Terms, by using the Website you also certify that you are an individual of at least 13 years of age and that you have the full legal capacity to use the Website and be bound by its Terms. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the Site is revoked in such jurisdictions.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise and update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Website constitutes your acceptance of any changes.
Moreover, we may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Website at any time, including the availability of any feature, database, or content. We may also impose limits on certain features and services to certain people without notice or liability at our sole discretion.
Medical Disclaimer
None of the information found on this Website is intended to and should not be construed as medical advice or information. Do not use the information on this Website as a substitute for medical advice. We take no responsibility and will not be liable for the caffeine consumption (or other health-related decisions) of individuals using the site.

License to Use Data
We’ve noticed a few people have copied our caffeine database data and used it in applications and sites. Hey, we’re flattered! But here’s the thing:
- It’s taken a lot of work to grow our collection of caffeine amounts, and we’re always working on it, but because we feel so strongly that consumers should be educated about the amount of caffeine is in a product, we say, go for it – use our data and make it wonderful and usable for everyone everywhere.
- However – you MUST link to caffeineinformer.com and reference the site (you choose which page you want to link to).
In slightly more formal speak, we grant you a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license to publish, reproduce, adapt, and otherwise deal with and use without limitation the caffeine amounts contained in this website.
If you do so, we request that, according to standard academic practice, you use us as a resource in the bibliography of any article, research paper or book.
Except in respect of the above, you will not (and will not permit others to) reproduce any other information, code, programming, images, logos or other material contained in the Website in which we hold Intellectual Property Rights, without our prior written consent.
Availability of the Website
Every effort is made to keep the Website up and running smoothly. However, we take no responsibility for, and will not be liable for, the website being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues or any other reason whatsoever beyond our control.
Some of our features depend on the availability of third parties (like Disqus for instance), therefore we will not be under any obligation to deliver the Website and / or all of its features where and to the extent that such third party constraints render us unable to do so.
Accuracy of the Website
While we have taken all due care in providing the information on our Website, we do not provide any warranty either express or implied as to the accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose of the information. Manufacturers are always changing and reformulating products and it is next to impossible to monitor all 1000 items constantly. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of our database (in particular the caffeine amounts for each particular product) and you should not rely solely on this information to make decisions about your caffeine consumption.
Contributing to the Website
Where you contribute to the Website by way of articles, comments or other content (“Content”) you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable right to fully exploit such Content (including all related intellectual property rights) and to allow others to do so. In submitting Content you warrant, represent and agree that you will not contribute any Content that is infringing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive or otherwise violates any law or right of any third party.
We reserve the right to remove any Content from the Website at any time, for any reason (be it a complaint we received from a third party right you have infringed; a breach of these Terms; or any other reason whatsoever).
Comment Policy
Caffeine Informer no longer supports user coments.
Warranty Disclaimer

You acknowledge that we have no control over, and no duty to take any action regarding who gains access to the Website; what Content they access via the Website; what effects the Content may have on you/them; how you/they may interpret or use the Content; or what actions you/they may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content.
THE WEBSITE, CONTENT, DOWNLOADS, EBOOKS, INFORMATION, AND ANY SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Technology and Security
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the security of the Website, the nature of cyber risk means that we cannot promise that your use of the Website won’t result in a virus, infection or other infection. In the unlikely event that your computer or operating system does become infected or in some way incapacitated after visiting the Website you agree to hold us harmless.
Use of the Website to violate the security of any computer network, crack passwords or security encryption codes, transfer or store illegal material including that which are deemed threatening or obscene, or engage in any kind of illegal activity is expressly prohibited.
You shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to access the Website, including, without limitation, modems, hardware, software, and long-distance or local telephone service.
Indemnity
You will indemnify and hold us, our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless, including costs and attorneys’ fees, free from any claim or demand made by any third party due to or arising out of your access to the Website, reliance on the information contained on the Website, use of the Content, the violation of these Terms, or the infringement by you, or any third party using the your account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.
Third-Party Content and Links
From time to time we may host third party content on our website such as advertisements and links to other websites. Responsibility for the content of such material rests with the owners of that material and we are not responsible for any errors or omissions in such material.
Through the ads and this Website generally, you are also able to link to other websites, which are not under our control and we have no control over the nature, content, and availability of those sites.
We and our advertisers may use third parties to serve or present the ads that appear on our site and to conduct research about the advertisements.
Manufacturers
Just because we list products on our Website does not mean we endorse them (either medically or on any other characteristics whatsoever). Nor can any weight be given to the order they appear or the images that are or are not included next to the product.
Funding
CaffeineInformer.com is funded by means of advertising revenue (contextual ads served by Freestar, and affiliate ads served by Amazon).
Caffeine Informer also receives a small share of profit from sales of the Wean Caffeine product (owned by Wean Caffeine LLC). This supplement allows users to precisely reduce their caffeine intake.
Partiality
Caffeine Informer shares research about caffeine and caffeinated products, highlighting both the pros and cons of caffeine consumption.
Restrictions
You may use this Website only for the purposes for which it is provided. You must not use it for fraudulent or other unlawful activity or otherwise do anything to damage or disrupt it.
Severability
If any part or provision of these Terms is invalid, unenforceable or in conflict with the law, that part or provision is replaced with a provision which, as far as possible, accomplishes the original purpose of that part or provision. The remainder of the Terms will be binding on the parties.
