Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to DumplingLab (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at kitchenball.com and all associated calculators, guides, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of them, please do not use the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using DumplingLab, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms at any time. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Cooking Reference Only — Verify Before You Rely

DumplingLab’s calculators are cooking reference and planning aids. They apply standard ratios and general kitchen guidance to the values you enter and round results for readability, so a result depends entirely on your input and on the assumptions of a simple model. Nothing on the Service is professional culinary or food-safety certification. Before you rely on a result — especially a cook-time range for a raw meat or seafood filling — confirm doneness with a food thermometer rather than the clock alone.

Description of Service

DumplingLab provides free, browser-based calculators and educational resources, including:

• A dough hydration calculator solving for flour, water, or hydration percentage
• A wrapper count calculator and a filling-to-wrapper ratio calculator
• A steam & boil cook-time guide by dumpling style and method
• A batch scaling calculator for resizing a recipe
• A pleat count guide for common fold styles
• Guides, explainers, and reference content on dumpling-making

All tools are provided free of charge. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Your Responsibilities

When using the Service, you agree to:

• Use the tools in good faith for home cooking, learning, or personal projects
• Enter values in consistent units and confirm your inputs describe a realistic recipe
• Follow safe food-handling practices, especially for raw meat and seafood fillings
• Not disrupt, overload, or attempt to compromise the website
• Respect intellectual property rights

You are responsible for exercising your own judgment and for confirming food safety before serving anything you cook using these tools.

Accuracy and Disclaimers

While we aim for correct, sensible formulas and reasonable reference ranges, we cannot guarantee that every calculation or cook-time range is error-free or suited to your specific kitchen, equipment, or ingredients. Results are estimates based on standard methods and the figures you provide, and are rounded for display. DumplingLab makes no warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Intellectual Property

All content on this website — text, graphics, logos, tools, calculators, and software — is the property of DumplingLab or its content suppliers and is protected by applicable copyright and other laws. You may use the tools for personal and educational purposes; you may not copy, resell, or reverse engineer them, or remove proprietary notices.

Limitation of Liability

In no event shall DumplingLab or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, spoiled ingredients, a ruined batch, or foodborne illness) arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Third-Party Links and Ads

The Service may link to third-party websites and displays third-party advertisements. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, and inclusion of a link or ad is not an endorsement. Your use of any third-party site is at your own risk.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there.
