Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of BAITBUILD™, a service operated by Lazy Baits Co. LLC (“BAITBUILD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By creating an account, accessing BAITBUILD, or using its services, you agree to these Terms and our Community Guidelines and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
BAITBUILD
BAITBUILD is a platform designed for bait makers and fishing-lure enthusiasts.
Features may include personal Workshop records, bait and recipe management, photographs, educational resources, calculators, Community profiles, user-generated posts, comments, public recipes, and links to products or third-party resources.
Features may be added, changed, or discontinued as BAITBUILD develops.
Your Account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for activity performed through it.
You must provide accurate information when creating an account and may not impersonate another person, business, or organization.
You may not use BAITBUILD in a manner that interferes with the service, attempts to gain unauthorized access to another account, circumvents security measures, or violates applicable law.
Your Designs, Recipes and Content
BAITBUILD does not acquire ownership of your lure designs, bait designs, formulas, recipes, notes, photographs, techniques, Workshop records, or other original material merely because you store that material in BAITBUILD.
Content stored privately in your Workshop remains private unless you intentionally use a feature that publishes or shares that content.
BAITBUILD does not receive a license to publicly display private Workshop content merely because it is stored using the service.
Content You Choose to Publish
When you intentionally publish content to Community or otherwise make content public through BAITBUILD, you grant Lazy Baits Co. LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, and technically process that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, provide, moderate, promote, and improve BAITBUILD and its Community features.
You retain ownership of your content.
This license does not transfer ownership of your lure designs, recipes, or other intellectual property to BAITBUILD.
When you delete public content, BAITBUILD will stop displaying it through the service, subject to reasonable technical processing, backups, legal obligations, and content already independently shared or retained by other users outside BAITBUILD.
Responsibility for Content
You are responsible for content you upload, publish, or share.
You represent that you have the rights necessary to publish that content and that doing so does not infringe another person's copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights.
Do not publish another maker's photographs, designs, recipes, or other protected material as your own.
Community Conduct
Use of BAITBUILD Community is also governed by the BAITBUILD Community Guidelines , which are incorporated into these Terms.
Prohibited conduct includes harassment, threats, hate or discriminatory abuse, sexually explicit content, scams, fraud, spam, impersonation, unlawful activity, malicious content, infringement of intellectual-property rights, and other abusive or seriously inappropriate behavior.
Reporting, Blocking and Moderation
BAITBUILD provides tools for reporting content or users and blocking other users.
Reports may be reviewed by BAITBUILD. We may remove content, limit functionality, restrict Community access, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, or take other reasonable action when we determine that content or behavior violates these Terms, our Community Guidelines, applicable law, or presents a safety or security concern.
Submitting a report does not guarantee a particular enforcement action.
Knowingly abusing the reporting system, including repeated false or malicious reports, may itself result in action against an account.
Intellectual Property Complaints
We respect intellectual-property rights.
If you believe content published through BAITBUILD infringes your copyright, trademark, or other rights, contact us through the support method provided in BAITBUILD and provide sufficient information for us to identify and evaluate the material.
We may remove or restrict access to disputed material while reviewing a complaint.

BAITBUILD's software, interface, branding, graphics, original documentation, and other materials provided by Lazy Baits Co. LLC are owned by Lazy Baits Co. LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
These Terms do not grant permission to copy, redistribute, reverse engineer, resell, or commercially exploit BAITBUILD itself except where applicable law provides otherwise.
Third-Party Services and Affiliate Links
BAITBUILD may provide links to third-party websites, products, manufacturers, retailers, or services.
Some links may be affiliate links. Lazy Baits Co. LLC may receive a commission or other benefit when a user makes a qualifying purchase through certain links, at no additional cost to the user.
Third-party services are operated independently from BAITBUILD. Their own terms, privacy practices, availability, and policies apply.
Bait Making and Educational Information
BAITBUILD may provide calculators, guides, material information, Community advice, and other educational resources.
Such information is provided for informational purposes. Users remain responsible for evaluating materials, equipment, temperatures, chemicals, manufacturing processes, fishing regulations, and other conditions relevant to their particular activity.
Always follow applicable manufacturer instructions, safety information, and laws.
Account Suspension and Termination
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to BAITBUILD when reasonably necessary to address violations of these Terms or Community Guidelines, fraud, abuse, security threats, unlawful activity, or risks to BAITBUILD or its users.
Where appropriate, we may remove specific content rather than terminate an account.
Users may request deletion of their own BAITBUILD account through the account-deletion functionality provided by BAITBUILD.
Service Availability
We work to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee that BAITBUILD will always be available, uninterrupted, or error-free.
Features may change as the service develops, and temporary interruptions may occur for maintenance, updates, infrastructure failures, or circumstances outside our control.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the extent permitted by applicable law, BAITBUILD is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties not expressly provided in these Terms.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot legally be excluded.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lazy Baits Co. LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of BAITBUILD.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as BAITBUILD evolves or as legal or platform requirements change.
The current version and effective date will be available within BAITBUILD and on our website.
When a change materially affects users' rights or obligations, we may require users to review and accept the updated Terms before continuing to use affected features.
Governing Law
