Terms of Service

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Harmony Smoothie is operated by Taciturn Studios LLC. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website at harmonysmoothie.com, including the recipe library, the blog, the glossary, the four browser tools, the contact form, the optional chat assistant, and the paid PDF guides sold in the shop (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What you can do here without an account

You can read recipes, articles, and the glossary, and you can use the smoothie builder, nutrition calculator, goal quiz, and blender comparison without creating an account. Those pages are free. We may change, pause, or remove a recipe, article, or tool when a source changes or when the page is no longer accurate. A tool result is a draft for your kitchen, not a promise that a particular drink will suit you.

2. Acceptable use

Use the Service for your own household cooking and reading. You agree not to:

We may block a session or refuse a message that breaks this section. We do not offer a public comments area on recipes or articles.

3. Recipes, tools, and health

Recipes, nutrition estimates, quiz results, and articles are general kitchen information. They are not medical advice, dietetic advice, or a promise of any health result. The nutrition calculator uses typical food-composition figures and the weights you type. Those figures can differ from the package in your hand. If you are pregnant, managing a medical condition, or taking a medicine that interacts with food, ask a qualified clinician before you change what you eat. Allergen information on a recipe is a starting point. You still have to read the label of every packaged ingredient you buy.

4. Affiliate links and advertising

The Service participates in the Amazon Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Some links to Amazon, and some other product links, are affiliate links. If you buy through one of those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not decide which recipe we publish or which blender appears in the comparison tool. Prices, availability, and reviews on Amazon are set by Amazon and the seller, not by us. Check the retailer before you buy.

Editorial pages may also show Google AdSense advertising. The homepage does not include the AdSense tag. Ads are labeled by the ad provider. An advertiser does not review our recipes before they go up. Disclosures for endorsements and testimonials in advertising are set out in 16 CFR Part 255.

5. Intellectual property

The text, recipe wording, graphics, logos, and original photographs on the Service are owned by Harmony Smoothie or its licensors and are protected by copyright and trademark law. You may view them in your browser and print a recipe for your own kitchen. You may not republish a recipe page, a PDF, or a tool’s output as your own site, book, or product. If you believe something on the Service infringes your copyright, use the contact form and include the page address, the work you own, and a way for us to reply. A short quotation with credit, for commentary, is not the same as copying a whole recipe.

6. The chat assistant

The chat assistant is optional and powered by a third-party model. A consent notice appears before the first chat. If you continue, you agree that:

You can ask us to delete a transcript through the contact form. The Privacy Policy describes that request.

7. Paid PDF guides and refunds

Paid guides are digital files. Checkout is handled by Stripe. We do not store your full card number. After a successful payment, we provide a download for the file or files you bought. The license is personal: you may save and print the PDF for your own household. You may not share the download link, post the file publicly, or include it in a product you sell.

Because the file can be copied as soon as it is downloaded, a refund is not automatic once the download has been issued. If the file does not download, or the file you receive is blank or unreadable, use the contact form with the email address you used at checkout. Tell us the guide name and what went wrong. We will resend a working file or refund the charge for that order. A change of mind after you have the file, or a recipe that does not match your taste, is not a defective file.

Prices shown in the shop are the prices charged at checkout, in US dollars, before any sales tax Stripe or a payment method may add. A bundle price is lower than buying the included files separately. We may change a future price. A price change does not alter an order you already paid for.

8. Third-party sites

Links to Amazon, public-health sources, and other websites leave harmonysmoothie.com. Those sites have their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for their content, prices, or availability. A link is not an endorsement of every product on that site.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent allowed by California law. We do not warrant that a recipe, a tool total, or a PDF will be error-free or that the site will be uninterrupted. Harmony Smoothie is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, a recipe, or a download. Our total liability for a claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for the digital guide giving rise to the claim in the three months before the claim, or fifty US dollars if you paid nothing. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those places, the limitation applies only as far as the law allows.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms by posting the revised Terms on this page with a new “Last updated” date. The date at the top of the page is the date of the current version. Continued use of the Service after that date is acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Service. A change does not reopen a completed order except where the refund section already gives you a remedy for a bad file.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you may request to know the personal information we collect, use, and disclose, request deletion of that information, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise these rights, use the contact form and include “CCPA Request” in your message. We will not discriminate against you for exercising California privacy rights.

Governing Law, Venue, and Arbitration

This document, and any dispute arising out of the Service, is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Subject to the arbitration agreement in this section, the state and federal courts located in California are the exclusive venue for disputes arising out of the Service or this document.

Except for an individual claim that may be brought in small claims court in California, you and Harmony Smoothie agree that disputes will be resolved by binding individual arbitration seated in California, or by videoconference, under the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in a court located in California. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or member of a class or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first using the Service by stating that choice through the contact form.
