Terms of Service

Every Atlas is built on trust.

The Atlas is a shared place for thoughtful learning, careful record keeping, and respectful conversation. These principles guide every member experience.

Our Principles

Knowledge is preserved through respect.

The Atlas exists to preserve knowledge, not arguments. Participation should protect the quality of the record and the dignity of the people who contribute to it.

Respect For Evidence

Claims, corrections, and bottle details should be grounded in useful context rather than noise.

Respect For Other Members

The Atlas is strongest when conversation remains thoughtful, generous, and worth returning to.

Respect For Producers

Distilleries, blenders, retailers, writers, and makers deserve fair representation and careful language.

Respect For Editorial Integrity

The Atlas exists to preserve knowledge, not arguments. Accuracy matters more than winning a point.

Using The Atlas

The Atlas gives each part of whisky life a proper place.

Use the Atlas to learn, remember, compare, organize, and return. Bottle pages and Academy lessons provide public knowledge. Member tools help you keep the personal layer of your own whisky experience.

Editorial Integrity

Accuracy is allowed to improve.

The Atlas may revise bottle information, editorial notes, images, and corrections when better evidence becomes available. A living reference should become more accurate with care, not more rigid with time.

Responsible Use

A trusted Atlas depends on considerate conduct.

Do not abuse other members, create fraudulent accounts, infringe copyright, interfere with the service, or misuse member tools. The standard is simple: use the Atlas in a way that keeps it valuable for serious learning and careful record keeping.

Common Terms Questions

Plain answers before formal terms.

Who owns my Journal?

Your Journal is your personal record. The Atlas provides the place and structure that helps you keep it.

Can the Atlas correct bottle information?

Yes. Bottle facts, images, and notes may be revised when better evidence or corrections improve accuracy.

What happens if I delete my account?

Account deletion follows the approved privacy lifecycle for member records and operational obligations.

Who owns editorial content?

Atlas editorial content, page design, imagery, and written materials remain protected Atlas work unless otherwise stated.

Trust

A trusted Atlas is built one thoughtful contribution at a time.
