Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the website at drainingliving.site (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

2. Nature of Content

All recipes, brewing guides, and informational content on this Site are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. Nothing on this Site is professional medical, nutritional, or therapeutic advice. Herbal content is not presented as a medicine, therapeutic product, or substitute for care from a registered health practitioner. Always consult a qualified professional before relying on any information here, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or managing a health condition.

2a. Fair Trading and Representations

Under New Zealand’s Fair Trading Act 1986, we must not make false, misleading, or deceptive representations. We describe our content honestly as home brewing inspiration. Recipe highlights on the homepage are editorial suggestions only; they are not verified testimonials, customer reviews, or guaranteed outcomes.

3. Intellectual Property

All content on this Site — including text, design, graphics, layout, and code — is the intellectual property of Drainingliving unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission.

Personal, non-commercial use of recipes (e.g. making tea at home) is permitted and encouraged.

4. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Site.
• Transmit unsolicited or harmful communications.
• Reproduce or scrape content for commercial use without permission.

5. Third-Party Links

This Site may contain links to third-party websites for reference purposes. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of those sites.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by New Zealand law, including the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where it applies, Drainingliving is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the Site or its content. Because this Site offers free informational content only (no paid goods or services), many consumer guarantees relating to purchases may not apply; nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be excluded by law.

7a. Herbal Safety

Some herbs may cause allergic reactions, interact with medicines, or be unsafe during pregnancy. You are responsible for correctly identifying plants, checking suitability for your circumstances, and following safe food-preparation practices. We are not responsible for adverse effects from herbs you choose to brew at home.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New Zealand.

9. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
