Terms of Service

Effective date: May 14, 2026. Version: 2026-05-b.

1. Introduction & Acceptance

Welcome to Bakerkit. Bakerkit (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Bakerkit platform, an all-in-one management tool for home and small bakery businesses. By creating an account, you (“User” or “you”) confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, you must not create an account or use the service.

By clicking the “I have read and agree to the Terms of Service” checkbox at signup, you acknowledge that a legally binding contract is formed between you and Bakerkit at the moment your account is created.

2. Description of Service

Bakerkit is a SaaS platform providing bakery business management tools including storefronts, order management, recipe and inventory tracking, payment processing via Stripe Connect, and invoicing. The service is hosted on Vercel and uses Supabase for data storage.

Bakerkit does not manufacture, sell, or take responsibility for the physical goods produced by users of the platform. Bakerkit is a software tool only and is not a party to any transaction between a baker and their customers.

You are responsible for all financial transactions conducted through your Bakerkit storefront or payment links. If a customer disputes a charge or initiates a chargeback through their payment provider, you are solely responsible for responding to and resolving that dispute. Bakerkit is not liable for chargeback fees, lost revenue, or the outcome of any payment dispute between you and your customers.

3. Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years of age and provide a valid email address to register an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately via our contact page of any unauthorized use of your account.

You may not share your account credentials with any other person. Each account is for the sole use of the individual who registered it. Sharing credentials or allowing multiple people to access a single account is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.

4. Subscription & Payment

Bakerkit offers paid subscription plans billed on a recurring basis. Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. All payments are processed by Stripe and are subject to Stripe's terms of service. All subscription fees are charged in United States Dollars (USD).

No Refunds. All fees paid to Bakerkit are non-refundable. There are no refunds or credits for partial months of service, unused time on a subscription, plan downgrades, or early cancellations. This applies to all subscription tiers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection legislation applicable in your jurisdiction.

Free Trial. New accounts receive a 30-day free trial of the paid subscription features. No payment information is required to start a trial. Your trial begins on the date your account is created and ends automatically after 30 days. At the end of your trial, you will need to enter payment details and choose a plan to continue using paid features; we will not automatically charge you. We will send you a reminder email before your trial expires.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Bakerkit only for lawful purposes and in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Without limiting the foregoing, you may not use automated tools, bots, scrapers, or scripts to access or extract data from the Bakerkit platform without our express written consent.

6. Intellectual Property

Bakerkit and its licensors own all intellectual property rights in the platform, including software, design, trademarks, and documentation. You retain ownership of all content you upload or create using Bakerkit (“User Content”). By uploading User Content, you grant Bakerkit a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, store, and display that content solely to the extent necessary to operate and improve the service. This license terminates when you delete your content or close your account.

7. Data & Privacy

We process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The legal bases for our processing are set out in the Privacy Policy and include consent, legitimate business purposes under PIPA, and legal obligation.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BAKERKIT'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO BAKERKIT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BAKERKIT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

10. Exclusion of Consequential Damages

IN NO EVENT SHALL BAKERKIT, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE, OR SYSTEM FAILURE, EVEN IF BAKERKIT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Nothing in this section limits our liability for data breaches caused by our own negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, including any liability arising under applicable data protection law (including PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bakerkit and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the service in violation of these Terms; or (c) any infringement of third-party rights by you.

12. Termination

Bakerkit may suspend or terminate your account at any time for material violation of these Terms, with or without notice. You may cancel your subscription and close your account at any time via your account settings. Upon termination, your right to use the service ceases immediately. You are responsible for exporting any data you wish to retain prior to cancellation. Following termination, Bakerkit may delete your account data at any time. Certain data may be retained where required by applicable law, for dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or as part of routine backup systems. Sections 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16, and 17 survive termination.

13. Subdomain & Storefront Identity

When you create a storefront on Bakerkit, you may be assigned or choose a subdomain (e.g., yourbusiness.bakerkit.app). The following rules apply:

1. Trademark compliance: your chosen subdomain and storefront name must not infringe any third-party trademark. We reserve the right to require you to change a name that is the subject of a credible trademark complaint.
2. Prohibited words: subdomains and storefront names may not contain offensive, deceptive, or abusive language as determined at our sole discretion.
3. Reclaim rights: Bakerkit reserves the right to reclaim any subdomain that has not been actively used for 90 or more consecutive days, with 14 days' prior written notice to the account email.
4. No transfer: subdomains are not transferable and may not be sold, leased, or otherwise assigned to another party.

14. Payment Processing & Stripe Connect

Bakerkit uses Stripe Connect to enable you to accept payments from your customers. By enabling payments on your storefront, you agree to the following:

1. Stripe Connected Account: you must create and maintain a Stripe Connected Account and comply with Stripe's Connected Account Agreement and all applicable Stripe policies. Bakerkit is not responsible for Stripe's decisions regarding your account, including holds, suspensions, or terminations.
2. Merchant of record: you are the merchant of record for all transactions processed through your storefront. Bakerkit is a technology intermediary only and is not a party to your customer transactions.
3. Prohibited products: you may not use Bakerkit's payment infrastructure to sell goods or services that are prohibited by Stripe's policies or applicable law.
4. Processing fees: Stripe's standard processing fees (including card processing fees and any applicable network fees) are charged by Stripe and deducted directly from your connected Stripe account balance. Bakerkit does not charge a per-transaction fee on customer payments. You are responsible for understanding and accounting for Stripe's fees; current rates are available at stripe.com/pricing.

15. Severability & Waiver

These Terms contain additional provisions governing the relationship between you and Bakerkit:

1. Severability: if any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder of these Terms will continue in full force.
2. Waiver: our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
3. Non-disparagement: you agree not to make any false, defamatory, or disparaging public statements about Bakerkit, its products, or its team members.
4. Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and any order forms or subscription agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and Bakerkit with respect to your use of the service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Alberta and the applicable federal laws of Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Alberta, Canada. If you are accessing the service from outside Canada, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes (such as changes to pricing, liability, or data use), we will notify you by email and via an in-app banner at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Previous versions are available in our Legal Archive.
