Terms of Service

Last updated November 2026

These terms cover your use of sweetsandscience.com, which is run by O’Connell Sweets & Science, LLC (“I” and “me” on this page). By using the site, you agree to them.

General information, not advice

Everything on this site, including articles, is general information about candy and confectionery science. It is not legal, regulatory, medical or other professional advice, and it may not fit your product, equipment or situation. Please don’t rely on it in place of advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

Working together

Reading this site, sending a message or having a free consultation does not create a consulting relationship. Consulting work happens only under a signed agreement, and that agreement’s terms govern the work, including fees, confidentiality and ownership of results.

Rates shown on this site may change. The rates in your signed agreement are the ones that apply.

Confidential information

Information sent through the contact form or shared in a free consultation is not treated as confidential. Please keep formulas, processes and other trade secrets to yourself until we have a signed agreement and NDA in place.

No guarantee of results

Results depend on many things outside my control, including your ingredients, equipment, process and market. I don’t guarantee any particular result, and I don’t guarantee any regulatory outcome.

Content on this site

The text, images and design of this site belong to O’Connell Sweets & Science, LLC or are used with permission. You’re welcome to link to any page. Please don’t copy or republish the content without written permission.

Links to other sites

Links to other sites are provided for convenience. I’m not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, O’Connell Sweets & Science, LLC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site or your reliance on its content. The site is provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
