Terms
Updated 9 November 2026 · Written for the 2026 season, when every calendar is private and by invitation.
We build the barrels. What goes in them, and who they go to, is the Curator’s. These terms say that in a few more words.
- 1
What The Space Between is
A studio for building and running whiskey advent calendars. We provide the software: the schedule, the collection, the reveal pages, the notes and the recap. We do not sell, ship, store, pour or handle alcohol, and nothing here is a store.
- 2
Who may use it
You must be twenty-one or older, and of legal drinking age where you live. You confirm this the first time you sign in, before anything else; we keep the fact that you said yes, and when. We do not require your birth date.
- 3
Private, by invitation
Every calendar here is a private gathering. A Curator invites the people they know, personally, by name; a Patron is someone who accepted. Seats are not listed, advertised or offered to the public, and a calendar is seen only by the people its Curator let in.

The Curator's responsibilities
A Curator procures every bottle, pours every vial and hands every kit to their Patrons in person. Mailing alcohol privately is prohibited by the postal service and restricted by every carrier. The Space Between is designed for handoff, not shipping, and does not arrange, facilitate or advise on shipment.
A Curator hands a kit only to someone twenty-one or older. Physical handling, distribution, and compliance with the law where the Curator and their Patrons live rest entirely with the Curator.

Money
Nobody is charged for using The Space Between. What a Patron puts toward the bottles is between them and their Curator: sharing the cost of a private gathering, not buying a product. The ledger here is bookkeeping, and The Space Between never holds, moves or transmits money on anyone’s behalf.

Your words and photos
Tasting notes, a Curator’s notes and photos belong to whoever wrote or took them. By posting them you let us show them to the people in the calendar they were written for. You can take them down.

Privacy
A birth date is optional. If you give one, it is visible only to the Curator of the calendar you are seated in, and it never appears in an export or a recap as anything but a derived value. Declining changes nothing about your seat.
We keep the minimum needed to run a calendar and to sign you in on the devices you use, and we do not sell it or share it with anyone outside the studio.
