Terms of Service

Effective date: May 14, 2026

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Enterprise Telecom Solutions, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, doing business as Cepaige (“Cépaige,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Terms govern your access to and use of the Cépaige mobile application, the cepaige.com website, and any related features and services we provide (together, the “Service”).

By creating an account, starting a free trial, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to the Terms, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and account

2.1 Age and capacity

The Service is intended for adults of legal drinking age. You may use the Service only if you are:

• At least 21 years old, if you are in the United States; or
• The legal drinking age in your jurisdiction, if you are outside the United States.

You must also have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. See §11 of our Privacy Policy for more.

2.2 Account registration

To use most features of the Service you’ll need to create an account. We use magic-link email authentication — you sign in with a link sent to your email address; we do not store user passwords. You agree to:

• Provide a valid email address you control;
• Keep that email account secure, since access to it equals access to your Cépaige account;
• Promptly notify us at social@cepaige.com if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account.

You’re responsible for activity that takes place under your account, except to the extent caused by our failure to take reasonable security measures.

3. Subscriptions, free trial, and billing

3.1 Subscription tiers

The Service is offered on a tiered subscription basis. The features available at each tier, and the current price of each tier, are shown in the Service at the time you subscribe. Prices may differ by region and may change from time to time, with notice for existing subscribers.

There is no permanent free tier of the Service.

3.2 Seven-day free trial

New users may start a 7-day free trial of the Curious tier. The trial:

• Requires a valid payment method on file with Apple App Store or Google Play at the time the trial begins;
• Provides full access to the Curious tier for seven days from the date the trial starts;
• Automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the seven-day window, billed at the monthly or annual price you selected during onboarding, unless you cancel before the trial ends.

You can cancel the trial at any time from your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Cancellation before the trial ends prevents any charge; cancellation during a billing period stops future renewals but does not entitle you to a partial refund (see §3.5).

3.3 Auto-renewal

Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) until you cancel. By starting a paid subscription or a free trial, you authorize Apple or Google, as applicable, to charge your payment method on file at each renewal.

3.4 How billing works

In Phase 1, subscriptions are billed through Apple App Store in-app purchase or Google Play billing, depending on the platform you signed up on. Apple and Google handle your payment information directly — we do not see your card number or billing address. The applicable platform’s terms govern the billing relationship; Cépaige receives a confirmation of your active subscription tier.

We may, in the future, offer a web-based subscription option processed through a Cépaige-operated checkout. If we do, the applicable terms will be made available at that time and these Terms will be updated.

3.5 Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your Apple App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access to the paid tier through that date and lose access at renewal time.

Refunds are governed by the policies of the platform that processed your payment (Apple App Store or Google Play). Cépaige does not issue refunds directly for subscriptions billed through those platforms. We do not provide partial refunds for unused portions of a billing period.

3.6 Changes to pricing or features

We may change subscription pricing, tier composition, or specific features from time to time. For existing subscribers, we’ll provide notice at least 30 days before a price increase takes effect at your next renewal. Continued use of the Service after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new price. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel before it takes effect.

4. License to use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Cépaige grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial wine research and journal use, on devices you own or control. This license does not grant you any rights other than the right to use the Service as intended.

You may not transfer, resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the Service or your account.

5. Your content

5.1 What is “your content”

“Your Content” means anything you submit to the Service: wine label photos, ratings, tasting notes, tags, Wishlist and Purchased list entries, community shares, and account information.

5.2 You own your content; we get a limited license

You retain ownership of Your Content. By submitting it to the Service, you grant Cépaige a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only as necessary for technical operation — e.g., re-encoding an image), display, and use Your Content solely to operate and improve the Service for you, and to provide features you’ve opted into (such as sharing a specific rating to a community).

We do not use Your Content for advertising. We do not sell Your Content. Our handling of Your Content is governed in detail by the Privacy Policy.

5.3 Your responsibilities for your content

You represent and warrant that Your Content is yours to share — that you own it or have permission to use it, and that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights or violate any law.

You agree not to submit Your Content that:

• Infringes intellectual property or other rights of any third party;
• Is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or otherwise objectionable;
• Contains personal information about another individual without their consent;
• Misrepresents wine identity or content with intent to deceive other users (e.g., submitting falsified label photos).

5.4 Aggregate, non-identifying use

Cépaige uses aggregated, non-identifying signal derived from Your Content to operate and improve the recommendation engine, the wine cache, and similar features for the benefit of all users. This use survives your deletion of an individual rating; what we do not retain after deletion is your identifiable association with that signal. See §8 of the Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law, including laws governing alcohol consumption, sale, advertising, or shipping;
• Misrepresent your age, identity, or location to gain access to the Service;
• Resell, rent, or otherwise commercialize access to the Service, or use it to provide a competing service;
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated systems to access the Service, except for search engines indexing public pages (e.g., the marketing site and legal pages) per their robots directives;
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except to the extent permitted by applicable law;
• Interfere with the Service’s operation, security, or other users’ use of it; or attempt to bypass authentication, rate limits, or access controls;
• Use the Service to send spam, unsolicited messages, or malicious code;
• Use the Service in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair our infrastructure or that of our service providers;
• Impersonate a sommelier, wine professional, or other person; or misrepresent your affiliation with any community, restaurant, or organization.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, with or without notice, depending on the severity of the violation.

7. Communities

If and when Cépaige communities (Sommelier Communities or Peer Communities) are available to your tier, the following additional terms apply.

7.1 Invitation-only

All communities are invite-only. There is no public directory of communities or members. You can join a community only via an invitation from a community admin (Peer Communities) or sommelier (Sommelier Communities).

7.2 What members can share

Members may opt in to share numeric ratings only with a community. Tasting notes and other free-text content remain private and are never shared with any community. See §5.2 of the Privacy Policy.

7.3 Community conduct

Communities are spaces for sharing wine ratings and (in Sommelier Communities) following a sommelier’s published picks. They are not general-purpose social networks. Cépaige does not provide in-app messaging, posting, or threaded discussion features. You agree not to use community features to harass, spam, or otherwise harm other members.

7.4 Sommelier broadcasts

Sommelier Communities feature published picks and tasting notes from the hosting sommelier. Sommelier broadcasts represent the sommelier’s professional opinion and are not Cépaige’s recommendation. Cépaige does not endorse, verify, or take responsibility for sommelier content, including any retail or affiliate relationships a sommelier may operate. See §9.3 below.

7.5 Peer community administration

Peer community admins are responsible for managing membership and invitations of their communities. Admins must comply with these Terms and are responsible for any acts or omissions of members they invite.

8. The Service is not professional sommelier or medical advice

Cépaige helps you research wines and matches them against a model of your palate. It is not a substitute for professional sommelier consultation, medical advice, nutritional advice, or legal advice.

• Recommendations are algorithmic. Wine match scores are computed by software and are best-effort predictions, not professional judgments. Your actual experience of any wine may differ.
• Information may be inaccurate or outdated. Cépaige aggregates data from third-party sources, AI research output, and user contributions. We make commercially reasonable efforts to keep wine identity, tasting notes, and pricing accurate, but we do not warrant the completeness, accuracy, or currency of any wine information.
• You are responsible for your consumption. Cépaige does not encourage excessive consumption of alcohol. Drink responsibly, in accordance with applicable law, and never drive while impaired. If you have a health condition affected by alcohol, consult a medical professional before relying on any information in the Service.
• Allergens and ingredients. Wine ingredient and allergen information surfaced by the Service is informational and may be incomplete. If you have a wine-related allergy or sensitivity, verify with the producer or retailer before consuming.

9. Third-party services and platforms

9.1 Apple and Google

The Service is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your use of those platforms, and your in-app purchases through them, are governed by the platforms’ own terms in addition to these Terms.

To the extent Apple’s “Licensed Application End User License Agreement” or Google’s equivalent terms apply, you acknowledge that:

• These Terms are between you and Cépaige, not Apple or Google;
• Apple and Google are not responsible for the Service or its content;
• Apple and Google have no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the Service;
• In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple or Google, and Apple or Google may refund the purchase price; beyond that, Apple and Google have no other warranty obligation;
• Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you with respect to the Service installed through their platform.

9.2 Other third-party services

The Service uses third-party service providers (for hosting, AI research, error monitoring, email delivery, and similar functions). Those providers operate under contract with us, as described in the Privacy Policy. They are not parties to these Terms.

The Service may also link out to or surface content from third-party sources (wine retailers, sommelier publications, web search results). Those third parties are not affiliated with Cépaige, their content is not endorsed by us, and your interactions with them are governed by their own terms.

9.3 Sommelier-managed external offers

Sommeliers using Cépaige’s sommelier features may, at their option, attach external retail or affiliate links to wines in their curated picks. These offers are operated by the sommelier, not by Cépaige. The sommelier is solely responsible for age verification, shipping compliance, retail and distribution licensing, applicable disclosures, and the terms of any transaction. Cépaige is not a party to those transactions and has no liability for them.

9.4 No alcohol commerce by Cépaige

Cépaige does not sell, ship, or otherwise process alcohol transactions through the Service in Phase 1. Pricing information shown in the Service is informational only and is not an offer to sell. See §6.1 of the underlying product concept and §6 of the Privacy Policy for the operating commitment.

10. Our intellectual property

The Service — including its software, design, text content, the Cépaige name and logo, and the algorithms and databases that power recommendations — is owned by Cépaige or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. “Cepaige” is a trade name of Enterprise Telecom Solutions, Inc. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of any Cépaige intellectual property to you.

11. Service availability and changes

11.1 No guaranteed uptime

We work to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. The Service may be unavailable from time to time due to maintenance, infrastructure changes, third-party service outages, or events beyond our control.

11.2 Changes to the Service

We may add, remove, or change features of the Service from time to time. For changes that materially reduce the functionality available to a paid subscriber’s tier, we will provide notice through the Service or by email. Continued use after such a change constitutes your acceptance of the modified Service.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Cépaige and our service providers disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, we make no warranty that:

• The Service will meet your requirements or expectations;
• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free;
• Wine identity, ratings, tasting notes, recommendations, or pricing surfaced by the Service will be accurate, complete, or current;
• Any defects in the Service will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• No indirect damages. Neither Cépaige nor its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, or service providers will be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
• Aggregate cap. Our total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, regardless of the form of action, will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid Cépaige for the Service in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Cépaige and our affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and service providers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or applicable law;
• Your Content;
• Your misrepresentation of your age, identity, or eligibility;
• Your violation of any third party’s rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights.

We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

15. Termination

15.1 Termination by you

You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time, as described in §3.5. You may also request deletion of your account by emailing social@cepaige.com; deletion is handled per §7.1 of the Privacy Policy.

15.2 Termination by us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:

• You have materially violated these Terms;
• Your use of the Service creates legal, security, or operational risk to Cépaige, other users, or our service providers;
• We are required to do so by law.

We may also discontinue the Service in whole or in part, with reasonable advance notice to active subscribers.

15.3 Effect of termination

On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination — including §5 (Your Content; the license you’ve granted, applied to retained aggregated signal as described in §5.4), §10 (Intellectual Property), §12 (Disclaimers), §13 (Limitation of Liability), §14 (Indemnification), §16 (Governing Law), and this §15.3 — will survive.

Data retention after termination is governed by §8 of the Privacy Policy.

16. Governing law and disputes

16.1 Governing law

These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16.2 Jurisdiction and venue

You and Cépaige agree that any legal action arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts.

16.3 No class actions

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute will be brought in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

16.4 Time limit on claims

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be brought within one year after the cause of action accrues, or it will be permanently barred, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “Effective date” at the top of this page. For material changes that meaningfully change your rights or obligations, we’ll provide notice through the Service or by email before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of those Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service.

18. Miscellaneous

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Cépaige regarding the Service, and they supersede any prior agreements between you and us on the same subject.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permissible and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Cépaige.
• Force majeure. We are not responsible for delays or failures in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, labor disputes, third-party service outages, and government action.
• Notices. We may send notices to the email address on your account. You may send notices to us at social@cepaige.com.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
