Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website singleoriginco.life (the "Site") operated by Single Origin Co. Inc., an Ontario corporation with business number BN 841234567ON0001, having its studio at 883 Queen Street West, Unit 204, Toronto, Ontario M6J 1G3, Canada ("Single Origin Co.," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. About Single Origin Co.

Single Origin Co. is an editorial media blog and brew-lab documenting specialty coffee brewing method reviews, pour-over and immersion ratio guides, and extraction notes for professional and enthusiast audiences. We do not operate a restaurant, coffee franchise, food delivery service, or retail café. We do not sell roasted coffee, green coffee, or brewing equipment to consumers through the Site. Content on the Site is provided for informational and educational purposes related to specialty coffee brewing methodology.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen years of age or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use the Site. By using the Site, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the organisation you represent.

3. Permitted use

You may browse the Site, reference publicly available brew guides for internal training, and submit contact enquiries through the provided form. You may cite Single Origin Co. ratio tables and method review excerpts in workshop materials and wholesale decks provided you include attribution to Single Origin Co. Inc. and a link to the relevant review page where distributed digitally.

Prohibited uses include:

• Reproducing, scraping, or redistributing Site content for commercial resale without written permission;
• Removing copyright notices, method badges, or attribution from downloaded materials;
• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to our systems, send.php processing, or studio networks;
• Submitting false, misleading, or fraudulent contact form information;
• Using automated tools to overwhelm Site infrastructure or circumvent the honeypot spam filter;
• Misrepresenting Single Origin Co. content as your own original research or implying endorsement without consent.

4. Intellectual property

All content on the Site — including text, photographs, ratio cards, method diagrams, layout designs, logos, and the Single Origin Co. name — is owned by Single Origin Co. Inc. or used under licence. Content is protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Limited licence: We grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view Site content and download materials explicitly offered for client use under contract. This licence does not permit modification, sublicensing, or creation of derivative works except as agreed in a separate editorial collaboration agreement.

5. Professional services

Descriptions of services on the Site (method review commissions, brew ratio consulting, training sheet packages, sensory documentation) are invitations to enquire rather than binding offers. A separate agreement or written confirmation is required before deliverables are produced. Pricing, timelines, and scope are established on a case-by-case basis.

Extraction measurements and sensory descriptors represent brew-lab consensus at the time of publication. Coffee is an agricultural product subject to natural variation; Single Origin Co. does not guarantee that independently sourced roasts will match documented profiles when brewed on different equipment or water chemistry.

6. User submissions

When you submit information through our contact form, you represent that the content is accurate and that you have the right to share it. Editorial collaboration submissions must not infringe third-party rights or contain confidential information you are not authorised to disclose.

By submitting content for editorial collaboration, you grant Single Origin Co. a licence to edit, format, and publish approved material with attribution as agreed in writing. We are not obligated to publish every submission.

7. Disclaimers

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

Brew guides reflect extraction analysis at documented dates using named reference roasts, calibrated water, and specified equipment. Results vary with grinder burrs, machine pressure, ambient temperature, and roast freshness. Single Origin Co. is not responsible for operational decisions made based on Site content.

Coffee and service disclaimer: Single Origin Co. publishes specialty coffee brewing method reviews for education. We are not a restaurant, coffee franchise, food delivery operator, or beverage retailer. Nothing on the Site constitutes food safety advice, medical guidance, or an invitation to consume products prepared outside controlled studio conditions.

External links, if present, are provided for convenience. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Single Origin Co. Inc., its directors, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content, including lost profits, lost data, equipment damage, or business interruption.

Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Site shall not exceed one hundred Canadian dollars (CAD $100) or the amount you paid Single Origin Co. for services in the twelve months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable Ontario or Canadian law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Single Origin Co. Inc. from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, misuse of Site content, or infringement of third-party rights through submissions you provide.

10. Privacy

Your use of the Site is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and process personal information under PIPEDA. Contact form submissions require explicit consent via the consent_pipeda checkbox as described in that policy.

11. Cookies

We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. Consent preferences are stored for six months. By continuing to use the Site after interacting with our cookie banner, you acknowledge our cookie practices as configured by your chosen preferences.

12. Modifications

We may revise these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on the Site with a new effective date. Material changes will be indicated on this page. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. We encourage periodic review of these Terms.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in conduct harmful to Single Origin Co. or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) shall survive.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Toronto, Ontario, for disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.

16. Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Single Origin Co. Inc. regarding use of the Site, superseding prior oral or written understandings on that subject. Separate written contracts govern paid editorial services and override conflicting Site descriptions where explicitly stated.
