Terms and responsibility
Brewlabel helps you make good-looking labels and, in Pro, follow the labelling rules. Here is what you can rely on, and what is yours to answer for.
Last changed October 16, 2026
In short
Brewlabel is a tool. The rules check is help, not legal advice, and no authority has approved it.
If you sell the drink, you – as the food business operator – are responsible for its label following the rules (EU Regulation 1169/2011, article 8, and the same rule in the UK). Always read the label through yourself before it is printed.
The service
You can make, change and download labels for free, without an account. With an account your labels are kept so you can reach them anywhere, and you get Pro: the rules check, barcode, deposit mark and print-shop file. Pro comes with every account for the rest of the year. If Pro costs something later we will say so in good time, and you choose whether to carry on.
What the rules check covers
With “Help with the labelling rules” switched on, Review checks the label against the rules where the drink is sold: that the mandatory particulars are there (name of the drink, alcohol, volume, allergens, best before or batch number, the producer’s name and address), that name, alcohol and volume share one field of vision, that the mandatory text is large enough, and the language. For some countries also the country’s own rules, such as the deposit system. How far the check goes in each country, and when we last read the rules:
| Country | What is checked | Rules read |
|---|---|---|
| 🇸🇪 Sweden | The EU’s rules and the country’s own | October 10, 2026 |
| 🇬🇧 United Kingdom | The EU’s rules and the country’s own | October 16, 2026 |
| 🇮🇪 Ireland | The EU’s common rules and the language | – |
| 🇲🇹 Malta | The EU’s common rules and the language | – |
Other countries in the list (coming soon): the EU’s common rules and the language, but not the country’s own.
What the rules check does not cover
The rules check only sees the label. It can’t know whether what you write is true – the alcohol, the ingredients, which allergens the drink really contains, or how much juice a cider has. It does not check marketing rules (such as the Portman Group’s code in the UK or Norway’s ban on alcohol advertising), what shops or monopolies ask for, nutrition and health claims, or licences and registrations: duty, food business registration and deposit schemes. Nor does it check the rules of countries not listed above, such as the US, or how the print turns out.
Rules change. We update the rules check when we can and show the date we last read the rules, but we can’t promise it is always complete or up to date.
Limitation of liability
Brewlabel is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for loss caused by a label you made, such as withdrawn or reprinted labels, recalls, fines or lost sales. Our liability is in any case limited to what you paid us in the last twelve months. This does not limit the rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.
Your labels and pictures
What you make is yours. You are responsible for having the right to use the pictures, logos and texts you add. We use them only to run the service; how we handle your data is in the privacy policy.
Mistakes in the rules check
If you find something wrong or missing, tell us with “Give feedback” in the app or at brew (at) brewlabel.app. We fix it as soon as we can.
Changes and law
We may change these terms. The date at the top shows which version applies, and with an account you accept a new version the next time you sign in. We email you about bigger changes.
Swedish law applies. Consumers in Sweden can also turn to the National Board for Consumer Disputes (ARN).
