Operator and scope
This website is operated by Plunzshuttermang Studio GmbH, Lindenstraße 27, 50674 Köln, Germany; Amtsgericht Köln, HRB 116482. Contact: [email protected].
The site provides independent information about culinary fermentation documentation, cultural context and research spaces. It does not offer a purchase service, laboratory analysis, certification or individual professional consultation.
Food-safety and professional boundaries
Content is general educational material, not medical, legal or individual food-safety advice. Example records and observations are not validated production, preservation or storage methods. Do not infer that an experiment is suitable to reproduce or that a food is safe because it appears in a photograph, smells familiar or has a recorded measurement.
Seek appropriate qualified guidance and relevant official requirements for practical food production. We cannot assess a batch from a message or image. Do not taste an uncertain ferment to test its safety. For urgent health concerns, contact appropriate medical services.
Accuracy and external references
We aim for careful, useful writing, but information can be incomplete or become outdated. Historical projects, publications and organisations are discussed in their documentary context. Check current activities, access arrangements and requirements directly with the relevant organisation.
References and external links do not imply affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement or access to private records. Other websites control their own content and terms. If you identify an error or attribution concern, use the contact page to provide details.
Copyright and respectful use
Original site text and presentation are protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may read, link to and quote material as permitted by law, with appropriate attribution. Further reproduction or commercial republication may require permission. Third-party names, quotations and materials remain subject to their respective rights.
Do not use the site to misrepresent a source, impersonate another person, interfere with availability or submit unlawful material. Please do not share confidential cultural knowledge or personal information belonging to others without authority.
Local message tools
The contact notebook generates plain text in your browser. Copying and downloading are user-initiated local actions; neither sends a message to the operator. You are responsible for checking the generated text, managing the downloaded file and sending any email separately. Clipboard access and downloads depend on browser support and settings.
Liability and mandatory rights
Liability is governed by applicable law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where exclusion or limitation is legally prohibited, including liability for intent, gross negligence, or injury to life, body or health where applicable. Mandatory consumer and data protection rights remain unaffected.
German law applies to the extent legally permissible, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections available under the law of their habitual residence. These terms do not impose an exclusive court location on consumers contrary to applicable law.
