Welcome to DramMaster. By accessing or using our whisky education platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use our service.
These terms apply to all users of the site, including visitors, registered users, and contributors.

Free Access
DramMaster is provided free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce premium features in the future, but the core educational content will remain free.
We may display advertising or partner with sponsors to sustain the platform, but this will not compromise the quality or integrity of our educational content.
AI Mentor Disclaimer
Isla, our AI whisky mentor, is an educational tool designed to help you learn about Scotch whisky:

- Not Medical Advice: Isla cannot provide health, medical, or alcohol consumption advice. Drink responsibly.
- Accuracy: While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated responses may occasionally contain errors. Always verify critical information.
- Exam Prep: Isla can help you study, but passing certification exams depends on your own effort and understanding.
