Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to FonduePot (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at fondbank.com and all associated fondue and hot pot calculators, tools, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using FonduePot, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

Informational Use & Verifying Results

FonduePot provides estimates and tools for general guidance and informational purposes only. Calculator results and the guidance on the Service are informational and may be incomplete or out of date. Cheese moisture, cooking equipment, fuel canisters, and appetite all vary, and published cooking temperatures and burn times change by manufacturer. By using the Service you agree to treat results as general estimates rather than a guarantee, and to use safe food-handling and cooking practices, manufacturer instructions for any stove or fuel, and your own judgment around hot oil, open flame, and shared food. Nothing on this site is professional food-safety, medical, or dietary advice.

Your Own Judgment Around Heat and Food

You are responsible for your own cooking, food-safety, and equipment decisions. Fondue and hot pot involve open flame, hot oil, hot broth, and shared food and utensils; our tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace safe kitchen practice, manufacturer instructions for your stove, burner, or fuel, or your own judgment.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators are provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every calculation will be error-free or suitable for your specific situation. Results are estimates based on standard recipes, conventions, and the figures you enter; actual results depend on your specific ingredients, cookware, and equipment.

No Guarantee of Results

FonduePot makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Food Safety

Estimates for temperatures, portions, and burn times are general and informational only, are not a guarantee of food safety or outcome, and are not medical or dietary advice. Always follow safe minimum cooking temperatures for meat, poultry, and seafood, and use your own judgment around hot oil, open flame, and communal dipping.
