Terms & Conditions

Between the Strains is operated by [OWNER'S FULL LEGAL NAME OR REGISTERED BUSINESS NAME] ("we", "us"). By using this site you enter into an agreement with us on these terms. You can reach us at hello@betweenthestrains.com.

By accessing, creating an account on, or continuing to use Between the Strains, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

You must be at least 21 years old. You confirm your age when you create an account and when you pass the age gate. The site is free; there is nothing to purchase and we do not process payments.

Between the Strains is an educational and harm-reduction research guide. It summarises published research about cannabinoids, terpenes, and reported interactions. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a doctor–patient relationship. It does not recommend that you use any cannabinoid for any condition, and it does not sell, ship, supply, or link to the sale of any cannabinoid product.

Nothing here has been evaluated by the FDA, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always talk to a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about your health or medications, and never stop or change a prescribed medication based on anything you read here.

The COA scanner, label decoder, trusted search, and assistant are AI-generated. Their output can be incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong, and it is not reviewed by a clinician or a laboratory. Treat every result as a starting point for your own verification, not as fact. Do not rely on it for dosing, safety, or purchasing decisions.

You agree not to:

• use the site for anything unlawful, or in violation of the laws where you live;
• submit fraudulent, spam, harassing, or deliberately misleading content, including fake reviews;
• post reviews or notes that present medical advice, treatment claims, or claims that a cannabinoid cures or treats a disease;
• infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy;
• interfere with security — no malware, probing, scraping, automated bulk collection, or attempts to bypass access controls or rate limits;
• reverse engineer, resell, or redistribute the site or its content.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential, for activity under your account, and for providing accurate information.

Content you submit (notes, reviews, uploaded label or lab images) stays yours; you grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, process, and — for reviews — publicly display it solely to provide the service.

Reviews are screened for medical-treatment claims and may be blocked, edited, or removed at our discretion. We are not obliged to monitor content, and we are not responsible for statements made by other users.

We retain ownership of the site, its software, text, design, and branding. You get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the site for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. Third-party brand, product, and strain names are referenced for identification only; we are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by their owners.

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or continuously available, and we may change or discontinue features at any time. Research summaries and AI-assisted features can be incomplete or wrong. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We may suspend or terminate access for material breach of these terms, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. You may delete your account at any time from your account settings; doing so removes your profile, notes, saved scans, and reviews.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the site is limited to one hundred US dollars (US$100), as the site is provided free of charge. We exclude liability for indirect, consequential, or special damages, including loss of profits, data, or goodwill. Nothing excludes liability for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence where the law does not allow it.

You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your unlawful use of the site, or your breach of these terms.

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above and your continued use constitutes acceptance. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in Indiana have exclusive jurisdiction. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Questions: hello@betweenthestrains.com.
