Terms of Use

These Terms of Use govern your use of Home Storage Guide (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

General information, not professional advice

The Site provides general information about food storage, shelf life, and food safety. It is for educational and reference purposes only. It is not medical, veterinary, or professional advice, and it does not create a professional relationship with you. Always follow the current guidance of official food-safety authorities such as the USDA, FDA, and CDC, and consult a qualified professional for advice about your specific situation.

Accuracy and availability

We work to keep the Site accurate and useful, and we cite our shelf-life and temperature claims to tier-1 food-safety sources. However, food-safety guidance changes, and we do not guarantee that the Site is always accurate, complete, or up to date, or that it will be available without interruption. You rely on the information on the Site at your own risk.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Site:

• in any way that violates applicable law;
• to scrape, harvest, or reproduce the Site's content at scale without permission;
• to interfere with or disrupt the Site or its servers;
• to misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
• to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site.

You may read, share, and link to the Site, and you may quote short passages with clear attribution and a link back. You may not republish substantial portions of the Site without our prior written permission.

Third-party links

The Site links to third-party websites, including government food-safety resources, product retailers, and other reference material. We do not control these sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices. A link does not imply endorsement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Home Storage Guide and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or reliance on, the Site. This includes any food-safety or financial outcome related to the information published here.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Home Storage Guide and its contributors from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your misuse of the Site or your violation of these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use at any time. Changes take effect when posted. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law
