Welcome to Cpin Cuppin ("the App"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Cpin Cuppin. By using our services, you agree to comply with these Terms. Please read them carefully.
By accessing or using Cpin Cuppin, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the App.
Cpin Cuppin provides a tool for users to input and manage their coffee beans’ parameters, organise cupping events, enter cupping responses, and provide consolidation and reporting of cupping results.
We do not currently certify or verify the authenticity of coffee beans, and we do not represent or guarantee anything in terms of the fairness and standards of cupping events and of the participants. We make available the cupping results in a transparent and consistent way to help minimise fraudulent or misleading activities and listings, and we take steps to detect fraudulent activities to the best of our abilities to promote a healthy community of users.
Additionally the App provides a platform for users to list their beans’ cupping results publicly and receive enquiries for them. We facilitate the communication but we are not involved in any sale transaction or agreement between buyers and sellers. We only provide a platform for communication and listing services.
You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You are responsible for all actions taken under your account.
