On the Nose Terms and Conditions
Last updated: August 14, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Hartwig Design Studio LLC, 5170 Aurora Ave, Apt 412, Fitchburg, WI 53711 (“we”, “us”), covering your use of the On the Nose app.
By continuing past the sign-in screen, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not use the app.
1. Who can use On the Nose
On the Nose is for people old enough to drink alcohol where they live. That age differs by country and by state, and it is your responsibility to know it and to answer honestly when the app asks.
The app is not directed to children. If you are under 13, you may not use it at all, regardless of local drinking age.
You also agree that you are using the app for yourself, and not on behalf of someone who would not be permitted to use it.
2. Your account
You sign in with Apple, with Google, or with a code sent to your email. There is no password.
Keep access to that email account secure, because anyone who can read it can sign in as you. Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has reached your account.
One account is for one person. Your journal is a record of what you drank, and it stops meaning anything if it is shared.
3. What On the Nose is, and what it is not
On the Nose keeps a record of what you drink and offers suggestions based on it. That is all it claims to be.
It is not advice. Not medical advice, not dietary advice, not professional advice of any kind. It cannot tell you whether something is safe for you to drink.
Its suggestions are opinions, generated in part by AI, and they can be wrong. A recommendation that a drink suits your taste is a prediction, not a promise, and you may well disagree with it. That is the nature of taste.
Scanning can misread things. When you photograph a label or a menu, software reads it, and software reading a photograph makes mistakes. Names, producers, styles, alcohol content, and listed ingredients may come back wrong, incomplete, or attributed to the wrong drink.
If you have an allergy, an intolerance, a medical condition, a medication interaction, or any other reason a specific ingredient matters to you, do not rely on this app. Ask the bar, the restaurant, or the producer directly, every time. Ingredient information shown in On the Nose is transcribed from photographs of menus and from public sources. It is not verified, and it is not a substitute for asking a person.
Alcohol content shown in the app may be inaccurate, for the same reason.
4. Drinking responsibly
Alcohol carries real risks, including to health, and it impairs your ability to drive and to make decisions. On the Nose does not encourage you to drink more, to drink faster, or to drink at all.
Nothing in the app should be read as a suggestion to exceed any limit, whether that limit comes from your doctor, from the law, or from your own judgment. Never drink and drive.
If drinking is causing you difficulty, please talk to a healthcare professional.
5. What you write stays yours
Your journal entries, notes, ratings, and messages are yours. We do not claim ownership of them.
To run the app, we need your permission to store your content, to display it back to you, to sync it between your devices, and to send it for processing where doing so is what you asked for, such as a chat message or a taste profile calculation. You give us permission to do those things and nothing else.
We do not use your content to train AI models, and we do not sell it or share it with advertisers.
This permission ends when you delete your content or your account.
6. What belongs to us
On the Nose, including its name, its design, its software, its written content, its flavour vocabulary, and the methods behind its recommendations, is owned by Hartwig Design Studio LLC and protected by copyright and other laws.
You may use the app. You may not copy, reproduce, reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or create derivative works from it, and you may not use its name or branding for anything without our written permission.
7. How you may not use it
Do not use On the Nose to break the law, to harass anyone, to misrepresent your age, to gain access to an account that is not yours, to interfere with or overload the service, to extract data in bulk, or to build a competing product from what you find inside it.
Do not submit content that is illegal, that infringes someone else’s rights, or that you do not have the right to submit.
8. Paid features
On the Nose does not currently charge for anything. There is no subscription and no purchase, and this section will be replaced with real terms before that ever changes.
If we introduce paid features, we will publish the price, the billing period, the renewal terms, and how to cancel, before charging anyone. Any purchase would be handled by the App Store, under its terms, and refunds would be handled by Apple under Apple’s policies.
9. Availability, changes, and ending things
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the app. We will try to give notice when a change matters, but we cannot promise the app will always be available or free of faults.
You can leave at any time by deleting your account in Settings. That deletion is permanent and immediate, and we cannot recover anything afterwards. Export your data first if you want to keep it.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or where we are required to. If we do so without cause, and you have paid us anything, we will refund the unused portion.
10. Disclaimers
The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error free, or that its recommendations, scan results, or ingredient and alcohol content information will be accurate or complete.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Hartwig Design Studio LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost data, arising out of your use of On the Nose.
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify Hartwig Design Studio LLC against claims, losses, and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the app, your breach of these terms, or content you submitted that you had no right to submit.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Dane County, Wisconsin, and you and we both consent to those courts.
14. Apple
Apple is not a party to these terms and has no obligation to provide support for On the Nose. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them against you.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will say so in the app rather than quietly editing the page. The date at the top always reflects the current version. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated terms.
16. The rest
If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Our not enforcing something is not a waiver of it. These terms are the whole agreement between you and us about On the Nose.
