Terms of Service

Effective August 29, 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and Zimi. They cover what you can expect from us, what we expect from you, and what happens when something goes wrong. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them.

Who can use Zimi

You must be at least 21 years old to use Zimi. Zimi is about alcoholic drinks, 21 is the legal drinking age in the United States, and we ask you to confirm your age before you use the app. If you are under 21, do not use Zimi. Confirming an age that is not yours is a breach of these terms, and we will close the account when we find out.

You also need to be able to form a binding contract, and you must not be barred from using the service under the laws that apply to you.

Your account

  • •Give us accurate information when you sign up, and keep it current.
  • •You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your sign-in credentials to yourself.
  • •One account per person. Do not impersonate anyone, and do not pick a username designed to suggest you are Zimi staff or an official account.
  • •Tell us promptly at support@zimitaste.app if you think someone else is using your account.
  • •You can delete your account from Settings at any time.

Content and conduct

Zimi carries content created by its users: ratings, written reviews, photos, lists, and profile details. You own what you post, and you are responsible for it.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behavior on Zimi. Accounts that post objectionable content or harass other users are removed. Specifically, do not post or do any of the following:

  • •Harassment, threats, bullying, hate speech, or attacks on people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age.
  • •Sexually explicit material, graphic violence, or content that sexualizes minors in any way.
  • •Content promoting self-harm, dangerous drinking games, drinking to excess, drunk driving, or serving alcohol to anyone underage.
  • •Illegal content, or content that promotes illegal activity or the sale of controlled substances.
  • •Spam, scams, phishing, bulk promotional posting, or manipulating ratings through fake reviews or coordinated voting.
  • •Content you do not have the rights to post, including other people’s photos and copyrighted material.
  • •Personal information about another person posted without their consent.
  • •Attempts to scrape, reverse engineer, overload, or break into the service, or to bypass our rate limits and security controls.
  • •Impersonating another person, a venue, or Zimi itself.

How we enforce this:

  • •Every review and photo can be reported from the app. Reports go to a moderation queue that a human reviews.
  • •You can block any user. Blocking hides their content from you and stops them interacting with you.
  • •Photos are reviewed before they appear publicly.
  • •We remove objectionable content and eject the user who posted it within 24 hours of a report we uphold.
  • •We may remove content, restrict features, suspend an account, or close it permanently, with or without notice, when these terms are broken.

If you see something that breaks these rules, report it in the app or email support@zimitaste.app.

Rights in what you post

You keep ownership of your reviews, photos, and other content. By posting to Zimi, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt for display, and show that content in the app and on our website, for the purpose of operating and promoting Zimi. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except that copies may persist in backups for a limited period, and aggregated ratings that no longer identify you may remain.

You confirm you have the rights to everything you post, and that posting it does not break the law or anyone else’s rights.

Our rights

Zimi, its name, its logo, its design, its software, and the writing we publish about drinks and ingredients are ours or our licensors’. The catalog is a different matter. Plain facts about a bar or a drink, such as a venue’s name and address or what it charges for a cocktail, are not ours and we claim no ownership of them. What is ours is the collection we assembled: which venues and drinks we gathered, how we organized and enriched them, and the flavor data and ratings built on top. We give you a personal, limited, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for its intended purpose. That license does not include the right to copy our software, resell access, or scrape the catalog to build a competing product.

About recommendations and drinking

Zimi predicts what you might enjoy based on the ratings you and other people give. Those predictions are opinions and estimates, and they will sometimes be wrong. Menus change, recipes vary by bartender, and a venue may not serve what we show.

Nothing in Zimi is medical, dietary, or allergen advice. Ingredient lists are user-contributed and can be incomplete or wrong. If you have an allergy or a medical condition, ask the venue directly before ordering.

Drink responsibly. You are responsible for your own decisions about alcohol, including how much you drink and how you get home. Zimi does not encourage excessive drinking and is not responsible for what happens when you follow a recommendation.

Venues and third parties

Zimi lists bars, restaurants, and other venues we do not operate. We are not responsible for what they serve, what they charge, how they treat you, or whether they are open. Business accounts that claim a venue take on responsibility for the accuracy of what they publish about it.

Service availability and changes

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of Zimi at any time. We will try to give notice of significant changes when we reasonably can. We do not promise the service will be uninterrupted or error free.

Ending this agreement

You can stop using Zimi and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if we are required to by law, or if keeping the account open would create risk for other users or for us. Sections covering rights in content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law survive the end of this agreement.

Disclaimers

Zimi is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty about the accuracy or reliability of drink data, venue data, ratings, or recommendations.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Zimi and its team are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or personal injury, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim relating to Zimi is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Your responsibility to us

You agree to cover our reasonable costs, including legal fees, if a third party brings a claim against us because of content you posted, your use of Zimi, or your breach of these terms.

If you downloaded Zimi from the App Store

These additional terms apply to the iOS version of Zimi:

  • •This agreement is between you and Zimi only. It is not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
  • •Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Zimi. Support requests go to us at support@zimitaste.app.
  • •If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price if you paid one. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
  • •We, and not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar law.
  • •We, and not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
  • •You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • •Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and Apple has the right to enforce them against you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, and you and we consent to that jurisdiction.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the product changes. When a change materially affects your rights, we will update the effective date at the top and tell you in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use Zimi after a change means you accept the updated terms.
