Terms of Use

Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are Dorm Dough. We operate dormdough.com, as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these Terms of Use (collectively, the "Services"). You can contact us by email at doughdorm@gmail.com.

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

Supplemental terms and conditions or documents that may be posted on the Services from time to time are hereby expressly incorporated by reference. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes or modifications to these Terms of Use at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of these Terms of Use. It is your responsibility to periodically review these Terms of Use to stay informed of updates.

Affiliate Relationships

Dorm Dough participates in affiliate and partner marketing programs. This means that some links to tools, financial products, books, or services on the Services are "affiliate links." When you click an affiliate link and take a qualifying action, we may earn a commission or other compensation from the partner at no additional cost to you.

We only highlight partners we believe provide value to our audience, and any compensation received does not influence our editorial evaluations or the order in which products appear. Affiliate partners may use cookies, tracking pixels, or server-to-server integrations to attribute referrals. By using the Services, you acknowledge that such tracking may occur and consent to our sharing limited technical information (such as a hashed identifier, click timestamp, or device type) with affiliate platforms solely for attribution purposes.

You can disable cookies in your browser or device settings, though doing so may limit certain personalization features and may affect the accuracy of affiliate tracking. Questions about our affiliate disclosures can be sent to doughdorm@gmail.com.
