Payments from customers are processed via Stripe and Stripe Connect. Baker payouts are handled by Stripe directly to your connected bank account.

• You retain full ownership of your content, including product photos, descriptions, and store branding.

Ovenbloom provides cottage food law information as a general reference only. This information is not legal advice.

Cottage food laws vary by state and change frequently. It is your responsibility to verify compliance with your state’s current requirements, including annual sales limits, allowed products, labeling rules, and permitted venues.

Ovenbloom is not liable for any regulatory violations, fines, or legal consequences arising from your use of the platform or reliance on our cottage food law reference.

Ovenbloom is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.

We are not liable for:

• Food safety issues or foodborne illness
• Regulatory violations or legal consequences
• Lost revenue or business interruption
• Platform downtime or service outages
• Third-party service failures (Stripe, Twilio, etc.)

Our maximum aggregate liability is limited to the total fees you have paid to Ovenbloom in the 12 months preceding the claim.

• Either party may terminate the relationship at any time.
• You can close your account from Settings at any time.
• We may terminate your account for violation of these Terms with notice.
• Upon termination, your storefront goes offline immediately. Data is retained according to our Privacy Policy retention schedule.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Ovenbloom will be resolved through binding arbitration in Pasco County, Florida. Small claims court is available for disputes under $10,000.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of Ovenbloom after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
