All content on the Service, including text, recipes, instructions, photographs, images, videos, graphics, design elements, logos, layout, site structure, and code (collectively, “Content”) is owned by us or licensed to us and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to access and use the Content for personal, noncommercial use. This license does not grant you ownership of any Content.

Limited sharing is permitted when it is clearly noncommercial, includes a link back to the relevant page on the Service, and uses only brief excerpts rather than full recipes or substantial portions of Content. Even then, you remain responsible for compliance with applicable laws and fair use principles. We may revoke permissions if we believe our Content is being misused.
9. User Generated Content
The Service may allow comments, messages, reviews, photos, or other submissions (“User Content”). If you submit User Content, you represent that you have the right to submit it and that it does not violate the rights of any third party, including copyright, privacy, or publicity rights.
By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty free, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, distribute, and create derivative works from the User Content in any media for purposes of operating, promoting, improving, and maintaining the Service. This license continues even if you stop using the Service, to the extent allowed by law.
You understand that User Content may be public and may be visible to others. You should not submit sensitive personal information in public areas. We have no obligation to monitor User Content, but we may do so and may remove or edit User Content at our discretion, including for moderation, compliance, or quality reasons.

11. Third Party Links, Tools, and Embedded Content
The Service may contain links to third party websites, services, products, tools, or embedded content, including video players, social features, and widgets. Third party services are not controlled by us. We do not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for third party content, policies, or practices.
If you access third party services, you do so at your own risk and should review their terms, privacy policies, and safety information. Third parties may collect information about your activity in accordance with their own policies.
12. Advertising and Affiliate Programs
The Service may display advertisements or participate in affiliate programs. This means that some links may be tracked and we may earn a commission if you click a link or make a purchase, typically at no additional cost to you. These programs help support the Service and allow us to continue publishing content.
Advertising partners and affiliate networks may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to measure performance, prevent fraud, and improve relevance. Your choices may be managed through browser settings, consent banners (where available), or third party controls.
We aim to keep the Service reader first. Any product mention is informational and you should independently evaluate products, safety, instructions, warranties, and suitability for your needs.
13. Purchases, Digital Products, and Promotions
The Service may offer digital products, downloads, promotions, or other items from time to time. If you purchase or download anything, additional terms may apply, including payment terms, delivery terms, refund policies, and restrictions on use. Any such additional terms will be provided at the time of purchase or access.
We may change pricing, availability, and product details at any time. Taxes, fees, or third party charges may apply depending on the payment method or platform used. You are responsible for confirming details before completing any transaction.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service and all Content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error free, secure, or free of viruses or harmful components. We do not warrant that Content is complete, accurate, or reliable. You use the Service at your own risk.
Cooking and food related content involves inherent risks, including allergy risks, food safety risks, and kitchen safety risks. You are responsible for safe cooking practices, proper storage, and safe equipment use.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our owners, team members, affiliates, partners, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including damages for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, business interruption, reputational harm, or substitute services, arising out of or related to your use of or inability to use the Service.
This limitation applies whether the claim is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if we were advised of the possibility of damages.
To the extent liability cannot be fully excluded, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars (USD 100) or the amount you paid us directly, if any, in the twelve months prior to the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some parts of this limitation may not apply to you. In that case, liability will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our owners, team members, affiliates, partners, licensors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your violation of any rights of another party.
We may assume control of the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with the defense.
17. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected violations of these Terms, security risks, suspected fraud, or misuse of the Service. We may also remove or restrict content and features as needed.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions.
18. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of the state and country in which the operator of the Service is located, without regard to conflict of law principles, to the extent such choice is permitted.
To the extent any dispute is permitted to be brought in court, you agree that it will be brought in the courts located in the operator’s principal place of business, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
19. Dispute Resolution
Before initiating a formal dispute, you agree to attempt to resolve the matter informally by contacting us through the Site’s contact method and providing a brief description of the issue and the requested resolution. We will make a reasonable effort to respond and address the concern.
If informal resolution is not successful, either party may pursue available legal remedies consistent with applicable law. Where permitted, claims must be brought on an individual basis and not as part of a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action.

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on the Site with an updated “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

22. Miscellaneous
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
