Effective date: January 1, 2025. Version: 2025-01.

1. Introduction & Acceptance

Welcome to BakerKit. BakerKit (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the BakerKit platform, an all-in-one management tool for home and small bakery businesses. By creating an account, you (“User” or “you”) confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not create an account or use the service.

By clicking the “I have read and agree to the Terms of Service” checkbox at signup, you acknowledge that a legally binding contract is formed between you and BakerKit at the moment your account is created.

2. Description of Service

BakerKit is a SaaS platform providing bakery business management tools including storefronts, order management, recipe and inventory tracking, payment processing via Stripe Connect, and invoicing. The service is hosted on Vercel and uses Supabase for data storage.

BakerKit does not manufacture, sell, or take responsibility for the physical goods produced by users of the platform. BakerKit is a software tool only and is not a party to any transaction between a baker and their customers.

3. Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years of age and provide a valid email address to register an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@bakerkit.app of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Subscription & Payment

BakerKit offers paid subscription plans billed on a recurring basis. Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. A free trial period may be offered at our discretion. You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refunds are not provided for partial billing periods unless required by applicable law. All payments are processed by Stripe and are subject to Stripe's terms of service.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use BakerKit only for lawful purposes and in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

6. Intellectual Property

BakerKit and its licensors own all intellectual property rights in the platform, including software, design, trademarks, and documentation. You retain ownership of all content you upload or create using BakerKit (“User Content”). By uploading User Content, you grant BakerKit a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, store, and display that content solely to the extent necessary to operate and improve the service. This license terminates when you delete your content or close your account.

7. Data & Privacy

We process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The legal bases for our processing include performance of this contract, our legitimate interests, and your consent where required.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BAKERKIT'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO BAKERKIT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BAKERKIT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Exclusion of Consequential Damages

IN NO EVENT SHALL BAKERKIT, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, OR SYSTEM FAILURE, EVEN IF BAKERKIT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Nothing in this section limits our liability for data breaches caused by our own negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, including any liability arising under applicable data protection law (including the UK GDPR and EU GDPR).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BakerKit and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the service in violation of these Terms; or (c) any infringement of third-party rights by you.

12. Termination

BakerKit may suspend or terminate your account at any time for material violation of these Terms, with or without notice. You may cancel your subscription and close your account at any time via your account settings. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 survive termination.

13. Governing Law

The governing jurisdiction for these Terms is currently under legal review and will be confirmed before public launch. If you have questions in the meantime, please contact us at support@bakerkit.app. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the confirmed jurisdiction, without regard to conflict of law principles.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes (such as changes to pricing, liability, or data use), we will notify you by email and via an in-app banner at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
