Terms of Use

Last updated: —

These are the ground rules for using fizzsquad.com. By using the site you agree to them. They're written in plain English on purpose.

The TL;DR: Be cool. Don't try to abuse the site. All reviews are written by us — we don't currently accept outside submissions. We try to keep things accurate and fun, but we're a small team — we make no warranty about anything you read here.

1. The site, in short

Fizz Squad publishes seltzer reviews written by our team. Reviews include subjective ratings and bubble-profile breakdowns. Everything is opinion, not fact.

2. Using the site

You can read, share, screenshot, like, and compare reviews freely. We don't currently accept reviews or other content submitted by visitors — all reviews are written in-house.

You agree not to:

Try to game the like / compare counts via scripts or multiple accounts
Scrape or copy the site's content for republication without permission
Attempt to hack, overload, or otherwise mess with the site's infrastructure

We reserve the right to block visitors at our discretion.

3. Reviews and content

All reviews, scores, bubble-profile vectors, and written content on Fizz Squad are created by us. We don't currently offer a way to submit your own reviews. If that changes, we'll update these terms first.

If you contact us with feedback, suggestions, or tasting ideas, you grant us permission to use them without obligation or attribution.

4. Accuracy & opinion

Squad scores, bubble-profile vectors, taste descriptions — all of it is subjective opinion based on our tastebuds at a particular moment. Your experience may differ. Brands may reformulate. Cans get old. Don't make life decisions based on a 7.4 vs a 7.6.

We try to keep brand names, packaging info, and ingredient claims accurate, but we're not a regulatory body. Always check the actual product label.

5. Affiliate links & shopping

If we link to retailers (e.g. Amazon, Costco), some of those links may earn Fizz Squad a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects our ratings or which reviews we publish. We'll always disclose affiliate relationships clearly when they exist.

Our future merch shop will be operated by a third-party fulfillment partner. Their terms will apply to any purchases made there.

6. Trademarks & brand names

Brand names mentioned (LaCroix, Spindrift, Topo Chico, etc.) belong to their respective owners. Fizz Squad is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any seltzer brand. Use of brand names is for review and editorial purposes under fair use.

7. Disclaimers

The site is provided "as is." We make no warranties — express or implied — about accuracy, availability, fitness for any purpose, or that the site will be free from bugs, downtime, or interruptions. Sometimes the server goes down. Sometimes a review has a typo. We try our best.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Fizz Squad and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or any reviews on it. Our maximum total liability for anything related to this site is $50 USD. Yes, fifty dollars.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent change. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept them.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of the state where the site operator resides.
