Iowa Whiskey
Terms of Service
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. By downloading, installing, or using the Iowa Whiskey app (“the App”), you agree to be bound by this End User License Agreement (“Agreement”). If you do not agree, do not install or use the App.
1. Who we are
Iowa Whiskey (“we,” “us,” “our”) is an independent informational app for whiskey enthusiasts in Iowa. We are a private developer. We are NOT the State of Iowa, the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division (“ABD”), or any government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or operated by any of them. The App uses certain publicly available Iowa ABD data but is not an official product of the State of Iowa or the ABD.
2. The app is informational only — we do not sell alcohol
The App is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. We do NOT sell, distribute, deliver, broker, or facilitate the sale of alcoholic beverages, and we do not take orders or payment for alcohol. All purchases of alcohol occur at licensed Iowa retailers, subject to their terms, pricing, hours, and availability. Where the App links out to shop.iowaabd.com or to retailers, those are third-party destinations governed by their own terms and policies, over which we have no control and for which we are not responsible.
3. License grant
Subject to this Agreement, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Apple devices you own or control, solely for your own non-commercial, lawful use, in accordance with the Apple App Store Terms of Service.
4. Eligibility and age
You must be at least 21 years of age to use the App. The lawful purchase and possession of alcohol in Iowa requires you to be 21 or older. By using the App you represent that you are 21 or older and that your use complies with all applicable laws. The App is intended only for adults of legal drinking age. We may refuse access to, or terminate, any account we believe is used by a person under 21.
5. No guarantee of forecasts, prices, or values
The App presents estimates and predictions, not guarantees:
(a) Delivery and drop forecasts are statistical estimates derived from historical data. In backtesting they have been correct roughly 80–84% of the time, which means they are frequently wrong. Forecasts are not promises that a product will arrive, be in stock, or be available at any store or time.
(b) Prices and market premiums shown are community-reported and/or estimated. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, vary by store, and are not offers to sell or representations of actual retail price.
(c) Collection value figures are rough market approximations generated by the App. They are not appraisals, not guarantees of resale value, and not offers to buy or sell. You should not rely on them for insurance, financial, tax, or sale decisions.
You use all such information at your own risk and are responsible for verifying anything important directly with the retailer or the ABD.
6. Reselling alcohol
Reselling alcohol may be illegal in Iowa and elsewhere without a license. Nothing in the App authorizes, encourages, or facilitates the resale of alcohol. The collection-value feature is informational only and is not an invitation to sell. You are solely responsible for complying with all laws governing alcohol.
7. Responsible use
We promote the responsible and moderate enjoyment of alcohol by adults of legal drinking age. Never drink and drive. If you or someone you know needs help, contact a qualified resource.
8. User accounts
Some features require an account created via Sign in with Apple. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure. You may delete your account at any time from within the App, which removes your associated account data as described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Subscriptions and purchases (HUB Pro)
The core App is free to use. HUB Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks additional features (for example, delivery and drop push alerts, the raffle helper, an unlimited watchlist, unlimited price checks, and deeper analytics). Current plans are HUB Pro Monthly (USD $4.99 per month) and HUB Pro Annual (USD $49.99 per year); the exact price is always shown in the App before you confirm a purchase.
(a) Billing through Apple. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. All payments are processed by Apple; we never receive or store your payment card details.
(b) Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account’s subscription settings (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions). Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
(c) Free trials and introductory offers. If a free trial or introductory offer is available, its terms are shown before purchase. A trial converts to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends, and any unused portion of a trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
(d) Cancellation. Canceling stops future renewals. You keep HUB Pro access through the end of the period you have paid for; cancellation does not retroactively refund the current period.
(e) Refunds. Purchases are subject to the Apple Media Services Terms. Refunds are handled by Apple, not by us; you can request one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
(f) Price and feature changes. Subscription prices may change; Apple will notify you of price changes in accordance with App Store rules, and changes apply only to subsequent renewal terms. The set of features included in HUB Pro may evolve over time.
10. User-generated content
The App includes community features, including a social feed, reviews, photos, and price reports (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content within the App and its services for the purpose of operating and improving the App.
You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights to post it and that it does not violate any law or this Agreement.
You agree NOT to post content that:
- is unlawful, fraudulent, or promotes illegal activity (including the unlicensed sale of alcohol);
- harasses, threatens, defames, or invades the privacy of any person;
- is hateful, obscene, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable;
- contains spam, scams, or commercial solicitation;
- infringes intellectual property or other rights;
- impersonates any person or misrepresents your affiliation;
- encourages underage drinking, drunk driving, or alcohol abuse.
11. No tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. The App provides tools to report content and to block other users. We review reports and will remove offending content and/or eject the responsible users within 24 hours of a report. We may remove content, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion, with or without notice.
12. Moderation and enforcement
You can report any post, review, photo, comment, or user from within the App, and you can block any user to stop seeing their content and interactions. We may also moderate content proactively. Our decisions about content and accounts are final.
13. Intellectual property
The App, its design, software, and original content (excluding User Content and third-party data) are owned by us and protected by law. Iowa ABD data and other third-party data remain the property of their respective owners. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, distribute, or create derivative works from the App except as permitted by law.
14. Third-party services and data
The App relies on third-party services (for example, Apple, cloud hosting, and ABD public data sources). We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or practices of third parties or their content.
15. Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT FORECASTS, PRICES, VALUES, OR AVAILABILITY INFORMATION ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.
16. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP OR RELIANCE ON ANY FORECAST, PRICE, OR VALUE. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $50, OR THE MINIMUM PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
17. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim arising out of your User Content, your use of the App, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
18. Apple-specific terms
This Agreement is between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide support or to address any claims relating to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce it against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-parties list, and that your use complies with the Apple Media Services Terms.
19. Changes
We may update this Agreement from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date and, where appropriate, by notice in the App. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance.
20. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any reason, including violation of this Agreement. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. If your access is terminated while you have an active HUB Pro subscription, the subscription remains governed by the Apple Media Services Terms, and any refund is at Apple’s discretion.
21. Governing law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where preempted by applicable federal law or the Apple App Store terms.
