Terms of Use

Last updated: 29 June 2026

1. Scope and acceptance

These terms apply to wafflesworldrecords.com and its public registry, editorial pages, methodology, events information, contact forms, and other public features. Separate Record Submission Terms apply to applications, evidence uploads, challenges, and proposed record attempts.

Using the website means you agree to comply with these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, do not use interactive features.

2. Nature and status of the registry

Waffles World Records is an independent specialist registry and editorial project. It is not Guinness World Records, a government authority, court, recognised consumer conciliation body, regulator, accredited laboratory, medical provider, legal adviser, event licensor, insurer, or cannabis seller.

An “official WWR record,” “WWR recognition,” or similar phrase means a formal publication decision made by Waffles World Records under its own methodology. It does not create government status, regulatory approval, laboratory accreditation, legal permission, or recognition by another record authority.

Registry labels have specific meanings:

• Recognized: supported by authoritative or exceptionally strong evidence;
• World First: a defined first-in-category achievement with worldwide scope;
• Documented: the achievement is credibly documented, while independent adjudication or exhaustive worldwide comparison may be absent;
• Institutional Claim: the underlying metric is documented mainly by the institution making the claim;
• Historic: a documented previous benchmark or historical claim;
• Holder Check: a documented achievement whose current-holder status requires continuing review.

“Largest documented,” “earliest documented,” and similar language refers to the strongest credible example located through the stated audit. It is not an absolute guarantee that no unknown, private, destroyed, unpublished, or poorly documented predecessor exists.

3. No public user accounts

The current site does not provide public accounts, wallets, purchases, subscriptions, or paid verification checkout. Forms create no entitlement to recognition. An acknowledgement email, file upload, discussion, attendance, or evidence request does not mean a record has been approved.

4. Acceptable use

You must not:

• interfere with security, availability, forms, private storage, or access controls;
• upload malware, executable code, unlawful material, stolen data, or unnecessary sensitive information;
• submit fabricated, manipulated, misleading, defamatory, or impersonated evidence;
• claim Waffles verification, partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement without written approval;
• remove caveats, evidence grades, dates, or status language when reproducing registry facts;
• automatically scrape at a rate that harms service availability or republishes the registry as a substitute service;
• use the service to arrange illegal cannabis transactions or promote unsafe record attempts;
• harass holders, witnesses, staff, applicants, sources, or challengers;
• circumvent file, rate, or form restrictions.

5. Information and reliance

The website provides historical, editorial, and verification information. It is not legal, medical, scientific, investment, tax, food-safety, fire-safety, crowd-management, or event-production advice. Laws relating to cannabis, advertising, public consumption, product manufacture, transport, controlled substances, food, events, and privacy vary by jurisdiction and change over time.

Anyone planning an attempt is responsible for professional advice, permits, landowner approval, product legality, insurance, qualified measurement, laboratory testing, safeguarding, accessibility, participant welfare, fire controls, emergency planning, and lawful disposal.

6. Intellectual property and permitted citation

The original website design, code, registry arrangement, explanatory writing, methodology presentation, evidence labels, Waffles World Records name, logos, badges, seals, certificates, and brand assets are protected to the extent available under applicable law.

You may link to public pages and quote limited facts for journalism, research, commentary, education, or criticism, provided you preserve attribution, status, date, evidence grade, and caveat. You may not issue certificates, badges, winner materials, or verification statements using the Waffles name without written permission.

7. Third-party sources, names, and trademarks

The registry links to third-party sources for verification and context. Those sources remain subject to their own terms and intellectual-property rights. Inclusion of a source, holder, event, company, museum, product, or publication does not imply endorsement or affiliation. External pages can change, disappear, become paywalled, or contain errors.

Where possible, the registry records source type and caveat. Users should consult the original source before relying on a claim.

8. Corrections, challenges, reclassification, and availability

We may correct, update, merge, split, reclassify, retire, restrict, or remove a record where new evidence, a better-defined category, a successful challenger, a legal concern, or a methodological improvement requires it. We may preserve a superseded version as historical context.

The site may be redesigned, suspended, moved, or discontinued. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent URLs, permanent external links, or compatibility with every device.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Nothing excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded. Subject to mandatory law, the service is provided on an informational “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that every statement is complete, that every external source remains accessible, that an achievement is lawful in every jurisdiction, or that unknown competing claims do not exist.

Users remain responsible for decisions based on the site. We are not responsible for unsafe attempts, unlawful conduct, event losses, product losses, business decisions, injuries, regulatory action, reputational consequences, or third-party content arising from independent use of registry information.

10. General terms

If a provision is invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce a provision does not waive it. Mandatory consumer and local-law protections remain unaffected.
