Terms of Service & Usage Disclaimer

1. Agreement & Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or utilizing the mathematical conversion engines, recipe scaling algorithms, and educational culinary databases provided on GtoCups.com, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any portion of these provisions, you should discontinue use of our web calculators immediately.

2. Professional Culinary Disclaimer & Physical Variance

While all mathematical density coefficients on GtoCups.com are benchmarked against official USDA FoodData Central Foundation Data and test kitchen standards, physical cooking and baking involve inherent empirical variables beyond our computational control, including:

• Atmospheric Humidity & Temperature: Flours and starches adsorb ambient water vapor, altering bulk density by up to ±15%.
• Granular Packing Mechanics: Volumetric scoops vary significantly depending on whether an ingredient is sifted, fluffed, or firmly packed.
• Brand & Agricultural Formulations: Moisture contents and protein percentages (e.g. gluten levels in regional flours or fat content in European vs. American butter) naturally fluctuate across harvests and manufacturers.

Consequently, all outputs are provided for educational and culinary guidance. GtoCups.com disclaims liability for recipe outcomes, commercial bakery batch yields, or catering variances resulting from physical measurement discrepancies.

3. Intellectual Property Rights & Educational Use

The original software architecture, user interface components, algorithmic parsing logic, structured FAQ datasets, and editorial articles on GtoCups.com are protected by international copyright and intellectual property laws.

• Permitted Personal & Classroom Use: Home bakers, chefs, culinary instructors, and students are encouraged to use and cite our converters for personal, academic, and non-commercial educational purposes with attribution.
• Prohibited Automated Scraping: Wholesale automated extraction, unauthorized framing, or programmatic scraping of our compiled datasets for commercial replication without written permission is strictly prohibited.

4. Allergen & Ingredient Substitution Safety

Our automated ingredient substitution guides and sourdough leavening recommendations are computational estimates. Users with severe food allergies (such as celiac disease, nut allergies, or dairy intolerance) must independently verify product ingredient labels and cross-contamination warnings from manufacturers before preparing foods.

5. Modifications & Governing Law

We reserve the right to revise or update these terms at our sole discretion. Continued use of GtoCups.com following posted modifications signifies your acknowledgment and acceptance of the revised terms.
