These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of http://affiliate.alliceteaspot.com (the “Site”), operated by Timberline Steep, a sole proprietorship owned by Mary Knight at 4492 Timberbrook Lane, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147. By using the Site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. What this Site is
The Site is an independent editorial publication about loose-leaf tea. We publish reviews, comparisons and brewing guides. We do not sell tea or any other product. We hold no inventory, take no orders, process no payments and ship nothing. Any purchase you make is a contract between you and a third-party retailer, on that retailer's terms.
2. Intellectual property
All text, photographs, tasting logs, scoring data, layout and graphics on the Site are the property of Timberline Steep unless otherwise credited, and are protected by United States and international copyright law. You may read, print and share pages for personal, non-commercial use, and you may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a working link to the source page.
You may not republish substantial portions, scrape the Site systematically, use our content to train machine-learning models, or present our reviews or scores as your own. Requests for licensing or syndication should go to accounts@affiliate.alliceteaspot.com.
3. Affiliate links
The Site contains affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects a score or a recommendation. Full details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.
4. Accuracy and no warranty
We test carefully and publish in good faith, but tea is an agricultural product and results vary by harvest, batch, water and equipment. Prices, availability and formulations change without notice. The Site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free.
5. Not health advice
Content about caffeine, herbal ingredients or the effects of tea is general consumer information, not medical advice. It is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Never disregard professional medical advice because of something you read here. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a health condition, consult your doctor before making changes to what you drink.
6. Third-party links
The Site links to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, products, availability, security or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination site.
7. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Site to transmit unlawful, defamatory, abusive or infringing material; to attempt unauthorised access to any part of the Site or its servers; to introduce malware; to place automated load on the Site that degrades it for others; or to harvest personal information from it.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Timberline Steep and Mary Knight shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising from your use of or inability to use the Site, or from any purchase made through a third-party retailer. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to one hundred United States dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Timberline Steep and Mary Knight from any claim arising out of your breach of these terms or your misuse of the Site.
10. Changes and termination
We may modify these terms, or any part of the Site, at any time. Changes take effect when posted, with the date at the top of this page updated. We may restrict access to anyone who breaches these terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Archuleta County, Colorado, and you consent to that jurisdiction.
