Terms of Service

Business Butler (“the Service”) is operated by Vert & Co. Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, of 1608 Daylight Lake Dr., Katy, TX 77493 (“we”, “us”). By creating an account you agree to these terms.

Business Butler helps food manufacturers record what they buy, build recipes and products from those purchases, allocate labour and overhead, and see the resulting cost and margin per unit. It can also produce a Nutrition Facts panel from nutrition data you supply.

The Service performs calculations on data you enter. It does not verify that your data is accurate, and it is not a substitute for your own records, your accountant, or a laboratory analysis.

You need an account to use the Service. Authentication is handled by Clerk (see the Privacy Policy). You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure.

Accounts belong to an organisation. Organisation owners and admins can invite others, change their roles, and remove them. Anyone you invite can see that organisation’s data.

Plans and their limits:

• Starter (free) — 3 products, 5 recipes, 1 user.
• Professional — 50 products, 100 recipes, 5 users.
• Business — unlimited products and recipes, 15 users.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe. We do not see or store your card details; Stripe does. Prices are shown at checkout before you confirm. Professional and Business start with a 14-day free trial, once per organisation, and no card is needed to start it. If a payment method is on file when the trial ends, the subscription renews monthly at the price shown at checkout. If not, it ends, your organisation returns to the free Starter plan, and nothing is charged. An organisation that has had a trial before pays from the start.

Cancelling. You can cancel at any time from the billing portal in your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current trial or billing period — you keep access until then, and are not charged again. When the period ends, your organisation returns to the free Starter plan.

Refunds. If a paid plan is not right for you, email us within 14 days of your first payment and we will refund that payment in full; the subscription is cancelled and your organisation returns to the free Starter plan. After that we do not refund partial periods. If something has gone wrong, email support@businessbutler.io and we will deal with it case by case. A refund made case by case does not by itself change your plan.

Failed payments. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it. Your account is marked past due in the meantime. If payment never succeeds the subscription ends and the organisation returns to the free Starter plan.

If you drop to a plan with lower limits, your existing data is not deleted, but you may not be able to create new records until you are within the new limits.

You keep ownership of everything you put into the Service — your ingredients, recipes, costs, vendors and orders. We do not sell it, and we do not use it to train anything.

You can export your vendors, ingredients, recipes, products and overhead as CSV at any time from the Vendors, Ingredients, Recipes, Products and Overhead pages. An organisation owner can have the account and all its data deleted by emailing support@businessbutler.io; any active subscription is cancelled first. Deletion cannot be undone.

Read this if you print labels. Nutrition Facts panels and “Contains” allergen statements produced by the Service are calculated entirely from nutrition and allergen data you enter. We do not analyse your product and we cannot verify what is in it.

The Service applies the rounding and declaration rules in 21 CFR 101.9 and uses the major food allergens defined in 21 U.S.C. 321(qq). It refuses to produce a label when an ingredient is missing required nutrition data, or when its allergens have not been reviewed — but a label it does produce is only as correct as the figures behind it.

The Service does not check label format, type sizes, or serving sizes against the reference amounts customarily consumed, and it does not detect cross-contact during your production. You are responsible for the accuracy and legal compliance of any label you apply to a product, including verifying it against current regulations before use. If in doubt, have your product analysed by a laboratory and your labels reviewed by a qualified person.

Cost and margin figures are computed from the purchase history, quantities, labour rates and overhead costs you enter. They are a tool for your own decision-making, not accounting advice, tax advice, or a statement of your financial position.

Some methods are approximations and are labelled where they appear. Check any figure you intend to price against, and reconcile against your own books.

You agree not to:

• break the law with it, or use it to help anyone else do so;
• attempt to access another organisation’s data;
• probe, scan, or overload the Service, or work around its limits;
• resell access without our agreement.

We aim to keep the Service running and to keep your data safe, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free. It is provided “as is”.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit or lost business arising from a figure the Service produced. Our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end an account that breaches these terms, or where we are required to. If we do, we will tell you why and give you a reasonable chance to export your data unless the law prevents it.

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you we will give notice before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms. Prices for existing subscriptions do not change without notice.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, and the state and federal courts located in Texas have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
