Terms of Service
Version 1.0 — Effective March 20, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
By creating an account, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use CakeLedger.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and The Ledger Pulse Inc. ("Company," "we," "us," "our"), an Alberta corporation, governing your use of the CakeLedger application and related services ("Service"). By creating an account or accessing the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Acceptable Use Policy.
2. Eligibility
You must be 18 or older. One account per person.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. Each individual may maintain only one account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
3. What CakeLedger Is (and Is Not)
CakeLedger is a tool that helps you understand your baking costs and pricing. It's not an accountant, tax advisor, or financial planner. The numbers are based on what you enter, they're guides, not guarantees.
CakeLedger is a price discovery and profitability tool designed for home bakers and small-scale food businesses. The Service provides cost calculations, pricing recommendations, effective hourly rate estimates, tax estimates, and related analytical tools based on data you provide. The Service does not constitute accounting, tax, financial, legal, or professional advice of any kind. You should consult qualified professionals for tax filing, business registration, financial planning, and regulatory compliance. The Company is not an accounting firm, tax advisor, financial planner, or licensed professional in any jurisdiction.
4. Your Data Ownership
Your recipes, costs, orders, and customer info belong to you. We don't claim ownership of anything you enter.
You retain all ownership rights in the data, content, and materials you submit to the Service ("User Content"), including but not limited to recipes, ingredient information, cost data, order records, customer information, and business details. By using the Service, you grant the Company a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, process, store, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of operating, maintaining, and improving the Service. This license terminates when you delete your account, subject to reasonable backup retention periods as described in our Privacy Policy.
5. Customer Data Responsibility
When you enter a customer's name, email, or phone number into an order, you're responsible for having their permission to store that information.
In the course of using the Service, you may enter personal data belonging to third parties, including but not limited to customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses ("Customer Data"). You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents and authorizations from such third parties to collect, store, and process their personal data through the Service. You are the data controller of Customer Data. The Company processes Customer Data on your behalf as a data processor, solely to provide the Service. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company from any claims arising from your collection, use, or storage of Customer Data.
6. Paid Tiers and Billing
Pro and Business tiers are billed monthly through Stripe. You can cancel anytime. No refunds for partial months. Free tier is free, no credit card needed.
The Service offers multiple subscription tiers: Free, Pro, and Business. Free tier access requires no payment and no credit card. Paid tiers (Pro and Business) are billed on a monthly recurring basis through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing to a paid tier, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the then-current rate. You may cancel your subscription at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods. The Company reserves the right to change subscription pricing with thirty (30) days' written notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy govern payment processing; the Company does not store or have access to your full payment card details.
7. Acceptable Use
Don't abuse CakeLedger. Don't scrape data, create fake accounts, or use the platform to harm anyone. Full details in our Acceptable Use Policy.
Your use of the Service is subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy may result in warning, suspension, or termination of your account at the Company's discretion.
8. Service Availability
We work hard to keep CakeLedger running, but we can't promise it will be available 100% of the time. We may need to do maintenance or may experience outages.
The Company strives to maintain high availability of the Service but does not guarantee uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free operation. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled maintenance, unscheduled outages, technical failures, or circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control. The Company shall not be liable for any losses or damages resulting from Service unavailability.
9. Termination
You can delete your account anytime. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. If we ever shut down CakeLedger, we'll give you 90 days' notice and let you export your data.
You may terminate your account at any time by using the account deletion feature in Settings or by contacting us. The Company may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law, with or without notice depending on the severity of the violation. In the event the Company discontinues the Service entirely, the Company shall provide at least ninety (90) days' written notice and shall make data export functionality available during the notice period.
10. No Warranty
CakeLedger is provided as-is. We don't guarantee the calculations are perfect, that the service will meet every need, or that bugs won't happen.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT CALCULATIONS WILL BE ERROR-FREE, THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
11. Limitation of Liability
11.1 No Professional Advice
We're not liable for business decisions you make based on CakeLedger's numbers.
The cost calculations, effective hourly rates, tax estimates, pricing recommendations, and profitability analyses provided by the Service are informational tools based on data you provide. They do not constitute professional accounting, tax, financial, or legal advice. The Company is not liable for any business decisions made in reliance on the Service's outputs.
11.2 No Guarantee of Revenue
Nothing in the Service constitutes a promise or guarantee that you will earn a specific amount, achieve profitability, or succeed as a business. The effective hourly rate, pricing recommendations, and market comparisons are estimates based on your inputs, not guarantees of outcomes.
11.3 Community Data Disclaimer
Community pricing data ("What Others Charge," "What Others Pay") reflects anonymized, crowdsourced data from other users. The Company does not independently verify the accuracy of community data. Prices vary by region, quality, ingredients, seasonality, and market conditions. Community data should not be your sole basis for pricing decisions.
11.4 Maximum Liability Cap
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED CANADIAN DOLLARS ($100 CAD).
11.5 Exclusion of Consequential Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS DECISIONS MADE IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION OR THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE COMPANY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
11.6 Data Loss
While the Company implements reasonable measures to protect your data, the Company is not liable for any loss, corruption, or unauthorized access to data. You are encouraged to export your data regularly. The Service is not a backup service.
11.7 Third-Party Services
The Company is not liable for the acts, omissions, outages, or data practices of third-party services integrated with or used by the Service, including but not limited to Supabase (data hosting), Vercel (application hosting), Stripe (payment processing), or any future integrations. Your use of those services is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.
12. Indemnification
If someone sues us because of how you used CakeLedger, you agree to cover our costs.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Ledger Pulse Inc., its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (c) your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights; (d) any User Content or Customer Data you submit to the Service; (e) any business decisions you make based on the Service's outputs; or (f) your operation of a home baking or food business.
13. Assumption of Risk
Running a baking business has financial risks. CakeLedger gives you information, but you make your own decisions and take your own risks.
You acknowledge that operating a home baking or food business involves inherent financial, regulatory, and operational risks. You assume full responsibility for your pricing decisions, cost management, tax obligations, regulatory compliance, food safety, and business operations. The Service provides informational tools; it does not manage, operate, or assume responsibility for your business.
14. Force Majeure
We're not responsible for things completely outside our control, like natural disasters, power outages, or pandemic shutdowns.
The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, pandemic or epidemic, government orders or regulations, power failures, internet or telecommunications disruptions, third-party service outages, cyberattacks, or labor disputes.
15. Dispute Resolution
If we have a disagreement, Alberta law applies. We'll try to work it out directly first.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Alberta, sitting in the City of Edmonton. Before initiating any legal proceeding, the parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation for a period of thirty (30) days. For users in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom: nothing in this section limits your statutory rights under applicable consumer protection laws or your right to bring claims in your local courts.
16. Waiver of Class Action
If you have a dispute with us, it's between you and us individually, not as part of a group lawsuit.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF THIS WAIVER IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE IN YOUR JURISDICTION, THIS CLAUSE IS SEVERABLE AND THE REMAINING TERMS SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.
17. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms. If we make significant changes, we'll give you 30 days' notice and ask you to accept again.
The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. For material changes, the Company shall provide at least thirty (30) days' notice via in-app notification and email to the address associated with your account. Material changes require re-acceptance; you will be prompted to review and accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept updated Terms within thirty (30) days of notification, your account may be suspended until acceptance is provided. Non-material changes (formatting, clarifications that do not alter rights or obligations) take effect immediately upon posting. The current version of the Terms, with effective date, is always available at /legal/terms.
18. Survival
Some parts of these terms continue to apply even after you delete your account.
The following sections survive termination or expiration of these Terms and your account: Section 4 (Your Data Ownership, with respect to license termination), Section 5 (Customer Data Responsibility), Section 10 (No Warranty), Section 11 (Limitation of Liability), Section 12 (Indemnification), Section 13 (Assumption of Risk), Section 15 (Dispute Resolution), Section 16 (Waiver of Class Action), and this Section 18.
19. Severability and Entire Agreement
If a court strikes down one part of these terms, the rest still applies. These terms plus the Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy are the complete agreement.
If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, and the Community Data Sharing Agreement (if accepted), constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service, superseding any prior agreements or communications.
