Affiliate commissions never influence our editorial content or AI outputs.

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using SipSeek ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

3. About the Service

SipSeek is an AI-powered alcohol discovery and information platform. We help users discover, research, and find purchasing options for alcoholic beverages.

SipSeek is not a retailer. We do not sell, ship, or distribute alcohol. All purchases are made through independent, licensed third-party retailers. SipSeek has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, transactions between you and third-party retailers.

SipSeek is a discovery tool only. The presence of a product on SipSeek does not constitute an endorsement, guarantee, or recommendation by SipSeek.

4. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

SipSeek uses artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic) to generate tasting notes, flavor profiles, pairing suggestions, and other product descriptions.

Important limitations of AI-generated content:

  • AI-generated tasting notes are informational and subjective. Actual taste experiences vary by individual.
  • AI descriptions may not perfectly reflect the current formulation of a product, as recipes and production methods may change.
  • SipSeek does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of AI-generated content.
  • AI-generated content should not be used as the sole basis for purchase decisions, especially for high-value or rare bottles.

User reviews and ratings are provided by community members and do not represent the views of SipSeek.

5. Affiliate Links & Commercial Relationships

SipSeek participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click retailer links and make a purchase, SipSeek may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, AI-generated tasting notes, or search rankings. For a full list of affiliate partners, see our Affiliate Disclosure page.

SipSeek does not guarantee prices, availability, or promotions listed by third-party retailers. Always verify current pricing on the retailer's website before purchase.
