Degas: Espresso Dial-In · Legal

Terms of Use

Last updated: August 01, 2026

Last updated July 24, 2026

AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS

We are Misbau LLC ('Company', 'we', 'us', or 'our'), a company registered in the United Arab Emirates at Sharjah Media City, P O Box 130130, Sharjah.

We operate the mobile application Degas: Espresso Dial-In (the 'App'), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the 'Legal Terms') (collectively, the 'Services').

Degas is a logging utility for specialty espresso hobbyists. You record the coffee beans you are using and the shots you pull — grind setting, dose, yield, extraction time, and a rating — and Degas charts how your extraction drifts as the beans age after roasting, helping you adjust your grind. Degas requires no account: the beans and shots you log are stored locally on your device, not on our servers. There is no chat, no feed, and no content shared with other users.

You can contact us by email at [email protected] or by mail to Misbau LLC, Sharjah Media City, P O Box 130130, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ('you'), and Misbau LLC, concerning your access to and use of the Services. You agree that by accessing the Services, you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

We will provide notice of any material changes to these Legal Terms by updating the 'Last updated' date and, where appropriate, by notice within the App. The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old.

1. OUR SERVICES

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

Brewing information. Degas records the numbers you enter and charts them; it does not dispense professional advice. Charts, ratios, defaults (such as the 1:2 starting ratio), and any suggestion implied by the App are provided for information only. We do not guarantee that any particular grind setting, recipe, or adjustment will produce a particular result in the cup. Espresso equipment varies; you use your machine, grinder, and other equipment at your own risk and in accordance with their manufacturers' instructions.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Our intellectual property. We are the owner or the licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics in the Services (collectively, the 'Content'), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the 'Marks'). Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws and treaties around the world.

Your use of our Services. Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access the Services solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Except as set out here, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, republished, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our express prior written permission.

Your data. The beans, shots, ratings, and notes you record belong to you. They are stored on your device and we claim no ownership of or licence over them.

3. USER REPRESENTATIONS

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that: (1) you have the legal capacity and you agree to comply with these Legal Terms; (2) you are at least 18 years old and not a minor in the jurisdiction in which you reside; (3) you will not access the Services through automated or non-human means; (4) you will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorised purpose; and (5) your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

4. PURCHASES AND PAYMENT

Degas offers an optional auto-renewing subscription ('Degas Pro') that unlocks paid features such as tracking an unlimited number of beans. All purchases are made as in-app purchases through the Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not accept payment directly, and we do not collect, receive, or store your payment card details. Apple or Google collects payment from you in accordance with its own terms, and its terms and refund policies apply to your purchase. All prices are displayed in US dollars (or your local store currency) and are inclusive of any taxes determined and collected by the applicable app store.

Refunds. Because purchases are processed by Apple or Google, we are not able to issue refunds directly. Refund requests must be made to Apple or Google through the relevant app store. If you have any question about a charge, you are welcome to contact us at [email protected] and we will help where we can.

5. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Billing and Renewal. Your subscription is billed to your Apple ID or Google Play account and will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, depending on the plan you choose) unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Apple or Google charges your account for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price then in effect. We do not charge your payment method directly.

Cancellation. Your subscription is billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play and can be managed or cancelled at any time in your account settings on the relevant store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until then. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription. If you have any questions or are unsatisfied, please email us at [email protected].

Fee Changes. We may make changes to the subscription fee from time to time and will communicate any price changes in accordance with applicable law and the app store's rules. Price changes take effect at the start of the next billing period following notice to you.

6. SOFTWARE

We may include software for use in connection with our Services. If such software is accompanied by an end user licence agreement ('EULA'), the terms of the EULA will govern your use of the software. If such software is not accompanied by a EULA, then we grant you a non-exclusive, revocable, personal, and non-transferable licence to use such software solely in connection with our Services and in accordance with these Legal Terms. Any software and related documentation is provided 'AS IS' without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

7. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which we make the Services available. You may use Degas to log your own coffee; you may not, however, resell, sublicense, rent, lease, or white-label the Services, or use them to build or operate a competing product. As a user of the Services, you agree not to:

Circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with security-related features of the Services, including features that enforce limits of the free plan or verify subscription entitlements.
Trick, defraud, or mislead us, including any attempt to obtain paid features without payment.
Use the Services in a manner inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations.
Upload or transmit viruses, Trojan horses, or other material that interferes with the operation of the Services.
Engage in any automated use of the system, such as using scripts, bots, scrapers, or data-mining tools.
Except as permitted by applicable law, decipher, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any of the software comprising the Services.
Use the Services for any revenue-generating endeavour or commercial enterprise not permitted by these Legal Terms.

8. MOBILE APPLICATION LICENCE

Use Licence. If you access the Services via the App, we grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to install and use the App on wireless electronic devices owned or controlled by you, strictly in accordance with these Legal Terms. You shall not: (1) except as permitted by applicable law, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or decrypt the App; (2) make any modification, adaptation, improvement, or derivative work from the App; (3) violate any applicable laws in connection with your use of the App; (4) remove or obscure any proprietary notice; (5) use the App for any revenue-generating endeavour not permitted by these Legal Terms; (6) use the App to create a product or service that competes with the App; or (7) use the App to send automated queries or unsolicited commercial communications.

Apple and Google. The following applies when you use the App obtained from the Apple App Store or Google Play (each an 'App Distributor'): the licence is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on a device that uses the App Distributor's operating system, in accordance with the App Distributor's usage rules; we, not the App Distributor, are responsible for providing support and for addressing any claims relating to the App; and you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a relevant government embargo and are not on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties. The App Distributor is a third-party beneficiary of these Legal Terms and may enforce them against you.

9. SERVICES MANAGEMENT

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms; take appropriate legal action against anyone who violates the law or these Legal Terms; and otherwise manage the Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate the proper functioning of the Services.

10. PRIVACY POLICY

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy at https://misbau.com/degas/privacy. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms. Degas requires no account, and the coffee data you log is stored locally on your device rather than on our servers; purchase processing is handled by Apple, Google, and RevenueCat as described in the Privacy Policy.

11. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on or through the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, please notify us using the contact information in the 'Contact us' section below. Please be aware that under applicable law you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in a notification.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION, AND WE MAY TERMINATE THE LICENCE GRANTED TO YOU AT ANY TIME.

13. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue all or part of the Services without notice at any time. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services. We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times and will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime.

14. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive law of the United Arab Emirates. Subject to the 'Dispute Resolution' section below, any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration as set out in that section, save for matters expressly excepted from arbitration. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of residence.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control costs, you and we agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration.

Binding Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC) in accordance with the DIAC Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of the dispute, which rules are deemed incorporated by reference into this section. The number of arbitrators shall be one (1). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration shall be Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The governing law of these Legal Terms shall be the substantive law of the United Arab Emirates.

Restrictions. The parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to use class-action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions. The following are not subject to binding arbitration: disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any intellectual property rights of a party; disputes related to allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and any claim for injunctive relief. Such disputes may be brought before a court of competent jurisdiction in the United Arab Emirates.

Consumer protection. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection provisions, or of any right to bring proceedings in the courts, of the country in which you reside where such protections cannot be waived under the law of that country.

16. CORRECTIONS

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

17. DISCLAIMER

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICES' CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY CHART, CALCULATION, OR DEFAULT VALUE, AND WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANY BREWING OUTCOME, WASTED COFFEE, OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT ARISING FROM DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON DATA DISPLAYED IN THE APP.

18. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OR USD 100.

NOTHING IN THESE LEGAL TERMS SHALL EXCLUDE OR LIMIT OUR LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD OR FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED. CERTAIN US STATE LAWS AND OTHER LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

19. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of the Services; (2) your breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties; or (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defence of such claims.

20. USER DATA

The coffee data you record in Degas — beans, shots, ratings, and notes — is stored locally on your device, not on our servers. We do not hold a copy and cannot recover it for you. You are solely responsible for that data and for any backups of your device (for example, your device's standard iCloud or Google backup, which may include the App's data). Deleting the App from your device permanently deletes the data stored in it. You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of such data, and you waive any right of action against us arising from any such loss or corruption.

21. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

Using the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. You agree to the use of electronic signatures, contracts, orders, and other records, and to electronic delivery of notices, policies, and records of transactions initiated or completed by us or via the Services.

22. CALIFORNIA USERS AND RESIDENTS

23. MISCELLANEOUS

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part is deemed severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services.
