Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to DryHarvest (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at evapod.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using DryHarvest, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

General Guidance — Not a Food-Safety Certification

DryHarvest’s calculators provide general guidance for home food drying and preservation. They apply standard ratios and commonly cited reference values to the inputs you enter and round results for readability, so a result depends entirely on your input and the assumptions of a simplified model. Nothing on the Service is medical, regulatory, or professional food-safety certification. Before you rely on a result for anything beyond home, short-term use — including any food you plan to sell, gift widely, or store long-term — confirm it against your equipment’s manual and a current, reputable food-safety source.

Description of Service

DryHarvest provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

• A drying-time estimator scaled by food type, thickness, and temperature
• A dehydrator temperature guide by food category, in °F and °C
• A jerky cure & salt ratio calculator for dry-curing meat
• A water-activity estimator for salt/sugar brines and marinades
• A rehydration ratio calculator and a batch-yield estimator
• Guides, explainers, and reference content on food drying and preservation

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for home food preservation and learning
• Enter values in the correct units and check that your inputs describe your actual ingredients and equipment
• Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
• Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment about food safety and for confirming important results before relying on them, including verifying safe handling, temperatures, and storage for meat and fish.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for sound, commonly cited ratios and formulas, we cannot guarantee that every calculation is error-free or suited to your specific ingredients, equipment, or environment. Results are estimates based on standard methods and the figures you provide, and are rounded for display. DryHarvest makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of DryHarvest or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal and educational purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall DryHarvest or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, spoiled food, lost ingredients, or other losses) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
