Operated by Bio Botanicals, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (formed 2018) ("Bio Botanicals", "we", "us"). This governs the Lyewise application (the "App").
Effective date: July 11, 2026 · Last updated: July 11, 2026
These Terms are a binding agreement between you and Bio Botanicals. By using the App you represent that you have the legal capacity to accept them and do so in full.
Because the App relates to dangerous caustic chemicals, it is intended for adults only. You must be at least eighteen (18) years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher). The App is not directed to children.
The App provides general educational information and mathematical estimates only. It does not provide professional, medical, chemical, safety, or legal advice, and no professional relationship is created. Reliance on the App is at your own risk.
You acknowledge that soap making and the handling of sodium hydroxide and other chemicals involve inherent and significant risks of property damage, serious personal injury, illness, and death. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, known or unknown, arising from your use of the App or any related activity.
You are solely responsible for:
The App and all content are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bio Botanicals disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App or its outputs are accurate, complete, error-free, safe, or suitable for any purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will Bio Botanicals, LLC or its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, agents, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any personal injury, illness, disability, or death; property damage; indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; or lost profits, data, or goodwill — arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App, any reliance on its content, any errors in it, or any soap-making activity, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, warranty, or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of the Company parties for all claims will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) five U.S. dollars (US $5.00). You acknowledge these limits are an essential basis of the bargain.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Bio Botanicals and the parties listed in Section 7 from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the App, your soap-making or related activities, any product you make or sell, your violation of these Terms or any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights.
Certain features require an account and a one-time payment processed by a third-party provider (currently Stripe). You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping credentials confidential, and for activity under your account. Except where required by law, all fees are non-refundable. Card data is handled by the payment provider, not by Bio Botanicals.
Recipes, notes, and photos you save may be stored locally in your browser and/or with your account. You are responsible for your own backups and for having the rights to anything you upload. You retain ownership of your content and grant us a limited license to store and process it to operate the App for you.
The App and its software, design, text, and data (excluding your content) are owned by or licensed to Bio Botanicals. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to use the App lawfully. You may not copy, sell, reverse engineer, or create derivative works except as permitted by law.
The App relies on third-party providers (including hosting, payment, and email-delivery services). We are not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, or content, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.
We collect and process limited personal information (such as your email address and payment metadata) as needed to operate the App. We do not sell your personal information. Where applicable data-protection laws apply, you may have rights regarding your information; contact us to exercise them.
The App is operated from the United States and made available globally. We make no representation that the App or related activities are appropriate or lawful in any particular location. If you access the App from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all local laws, including chemical-handling, labeling, cosmetic, and consumer-safety laws, and applicable export-control and sanctions laws.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law (including consumer-protection law). If any provision — including any disclaimer or limitation of liability — is unenforceable under the mandatory law applicable to you, it applies only to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining provisions stay in force. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or the limitation of liability for personal injury or death, so some limitations above may not fully apply to you.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App at any time, and may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes are shown by updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause or notice. Sections 3–8, 11, and 18–20, and any provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive termination.
These Terms and any dispute relating to them or the App are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where mandatory local law provides otherwise. Subject to that law, the exclusive venue for disputes not subject to arbitration is the state or federal courts located in [INSERT COUNTY] County, North Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
If any provision is held invalid, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms are the entire agreement regarding the App. You may not assign them without our consent; we may assign freely.
