Terms of Service

1. Agreement

By creating an account or using MarginCub ("the service"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. These terms form a binding agreement between you and the operator of MarginCub.

2. Using MarginCub

You may use MarginCub to cost recipes and price menus for your food business. You are responsible for the accuracy of the ingredient prices, weights, yields, and recipes you enter into the system.

Garbage in, garbage out. The calculations are only as accurate as the data you provide.

3. Not financial or legal advice

MarginCub calculates costs and suggests prices based on inputs you provide. The output is a numerical model, not professional advice. Margin and profit outcomes depend on:

• Your pricing decisions
• Your supplier reality and shrinkage
• Your fixed and operating costs (rent, payroll, utilities)
• Local taxes, levies, and regulations

All of these are your responsibility. Consult a qualified accountant or business adviser for financial decisions.

4. Payment and refunds

Paid plans renew on a monthly or annual cycle until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your dashboard - no email required, no retention scripts.

Refund window. Refunds are available within 14 days of the first charge, at our discretion, by emailing [email protected].

Early access: all features are currently free. Pricing tiers will be announced before any charges occur.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for spam, abuse, or illegal activity
• Attempt to scrape, automate, or overload the service
• Reverse-engineer or attempt to bypass billing or authentication
• Use the service to store content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful

6. Account termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. Where possible, we will notify you first and give you a chance to export your data.

You may close your account at any time. See data deletion in the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data on closure.

7. Liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, MarginCub is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or business interruption, arising from your use of the service.

Our total liability in any 12-month period is limited to the amount you paid to us during that period, or USD 100 if you did not pay anything.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. For material changes - those that affect your rights or obligations - we will email account holders at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Non-material changes (typo fixes, clarifications) take effect on publication.
