The handling of Users’ personal information is governed separately by the Privacy Policy.
Article 2 (Use by Minors)
The Service is not primarily directed to children.
Users under 18 years of age (minors) must use the Service with the consent of a legal representative, such as a parent or guardian.
If a different age threshold or consent procedure applies under applicable law, the User must comply with that law.

Article 4 (User Accounts)
The Service may automatically create an anonymous account through Firebase Authentication in order to provide authentication, recipe extraction from URLs, usage-count management, and certain other features. Users may optionally link their account using Sign in with Apple.
Users are responsible for appropriately managing their device, Apple ID, and any account information linked to the Service.
All actions performed through an account will be deemed to have been performed by the User associated with that account.
Article 5 (Paid Features and In-App Purchases)
Certain features of the Service are provided through an auto-renewable paid subscription (a “Subscription”) or a one-time in-app purchase.
The price, duration, included features, and other conditions of each product are as displayed in the Service or on the App Store at the time of purchase.
While a Subscription is active, a higher usage allowance for importing recipes from URLs or similar sources is provided than under free use or the one-time purchase. When the Subscription ends, this allowance returns to the standard allowance.
Users who have purchased a Subscription at least once may continue to use the Plus features described at the time of purchase, excluding the higher usage allowance, after the Subscription ends. A one-time purchase provides continued access, for a single payment, to the Plus features described at the time of purchase.
However, if a purchase is canceled, refunded, determined to be fraudulent, or otherwise becomes invalid through Apple or a payment service, the Operator may discontinue the features or rights based on that purchase.
A Subscription automatically renews unless canceled by the User.
Users can manage their Subscription and disable automatic renewal in their device settings.
Purchase cancellations, Subscription cancellations, and refunds are governed by Apple’s terms and procedures.
The Operator may offer a free trial or other trial period for the Service. The content, duration, eligibility requirements, conditions for charging after the trial, and other terms will be as displayed in the Service or on the App Store.
If a free trial is offered, it may automatically convert to a paid Subscription at the end of the trial unless the User cancels it in the prescribed manner. Cancellation, billing, and refunds are governed by Apple’s terms and procedures.
Auto-Renewable Subscription Terms
- Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase.
- Subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

- Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription.
Article 6 (Recipe Information from External Websites)
Recipe information extracted from a URL is based on content from an external website. The Operator does not guarantee its accuracy, completeness, or legality.
Users must comply with the external website’s terms of use and applicable copyright laws when using extracted recipe information.
The extraction feature may not function properly if the content or specifications of an external website change.
Users are responsible for their handling of information extracted and saved from external websites, including its use, reproduction, sharing, and publication. Any dispute with a third party must be resolved by the User at the User’s own responsibility and expense.
