Terms of use

Last updated June 29, 2026

These terms cover your use of the Banneton app and this website. By using them, you agree to what follows. Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA) also applies to the app, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Food-safety note

Banneton’s guidance and timings are informational and based on the numbers you enter. Fermentation depends on your flour, your starter, and your kitchen, so every time is an estimate. Follow safe food-handling practices and use your own judgment. If a starter smells truly foul or shows fuzzy or colored mold, throw it out. Banneton does not provide professional food-safety or health advice.

License

We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to use Banneton on Apple devices you own or control, for your own baking, subject to these terms and the Apple standard EULA. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, or redistribute the app except where the law allows.

Subscriptions and billing

Premium is offered as a yearly or monthly auto-renewing subscription, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. For an auto-renewing subscription: it continues until you cancel; it renews at the price shown at purchase, charged to your Apple Account at each renewal; the renewal price may change only with the notice the App Store provides; and the length of each renewal term is the term you selected (one month or one year). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. If a plan includes a free trial, it converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends, and any unused part of a trial is forfeited when you buy the matching subscription. We send our own reminder before a trial ends, and the App Store sends renewal reminders. You can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. Apple is the merchant of record and handles billing and refunds under Apple’s policies. Prices may vary by region.

Acceptable use

Use Banneton for your own baking. Do not attempt to break, reverse engineer, overload, or misuse the app or this site, and do not use them in any unlawful way or in a way that infringes anyone’s rights.

Intellectual property

Banneton, its name, design, and content that we provide are owned by Handler Labs LLC and protected by law. The content you create, such as your starters, notes, and photos, is yours. We claim no ownership of it and have no access to it.

No warranty

Banneton is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind to the extent allowed by law. We work hard to make it reliable, but we cannot guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error free, or that it will produce a particular baking result. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or consumer guarantees, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Handler Labs LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost data or lost profits, arising from your use of or inability to use Banneton. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Termination

These terms apply while you use Banneton. You may stop using it at any time, and you can delete the app and your data. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms. Sections that by their nature should survive, such as the disclaimers and the limitation of liability, will survive.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and you agree to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California for any dispute, except where your local consumer law gives you a different right. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will post changes here with a new date. If a part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Questions? Email [email protected]. Banneton is made by Handler Labs LLC.
