Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By using Cookbook Social, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the application.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account.

You must provide accurate account information and may not impersonate another person or use the service for unlawful purposes.

3. Recipes and user content

You keep ownership of recipes, images, comments, profile information, and other content you add.

By posting content, you grant Cookbook Social permission to store, display, process, and share that content inside the application as needed to provide the service.

Do not upload content that is illegal, harmful, abusive, infringing, misleading, or violates someone else's rights.

4. AI recipe imports

AI-powered recipe imports help extract recipes from supported public video or social media links. Recipes may also be translated into the application language using AI. Smart (semantic) search uses AI to rank recipes by meaning; results may be imperfect or may not exclude every unwanted ingredient (for example, "without eggs"). AI output may be incomplete, inaccurate, mistranslated, or require additional review before use. Ingredient names, quantities, units, and steps may differ from the original source due to AI processing.

You are responsible for reviewing ingredients, allergens, cooking times, temperatures, food safety, and instructions before using or sharing any recipe.

5. Plans, credits, and API keys

Some features may require a subscription, credits, or your own AI API key. Feature limits, pricing, and availability may change.

If you use BYOK features, you are responsible for the third-party provider account, API usage, billing, rate limits, and compliance with that provider's terms.

Paid subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until cancelled. You can cancel anytime in Profile → Settings (or via Google Play for purchases made there); cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current paid period. Prices and billing periods are shown before purchase and may change with prior notice. Promotional offers (such as a discounted first subscription) apply only to the first billing period for eligible accounts; renewals are charged at the full price.

6. Third-party services and links

Cookbook Social may interact with third-party services such as Google, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, OpenAI, Groq, Gemini, Railway, and payment providers.

When you submit a public source URL, you are responsible for having the right to use that content and for complying with the source platform's terms. For YouTube, Cookbook Social uses official YouTube API Services only for public metadata where configured and does not provide official access to transcripts, captions, or downloads for third-party videos.

Those services are governed by their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, billing, or behavior.

7. Service availability

The application is provided as is and as available. We may change, suspend, limit, or discontinue features at any time.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, data availability, or that AI-generated results will meet your expectations.

8. Termination

You may stop using the service at any time and may schedule account deletion from settings. Account deletion has a 14-day restoration window.

We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms, misuse the service, create risk for other users, or if technical, security, or legal reasons require it.

9. Refunds

All payments are final. Funds are non-refundable, except in cases expressly provided by applicable law.

10. General provisions

You must be able to enter into a binding agreement and meet the minimum age required in your country; minors may use the service only with a parent's or guardian's consent.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence still apply.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for losses arising from AI output, third-party services, or your use of recipes (including allergens, ingredients, or food safety).

11. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the application after an update means you accept the updated terms.

12. Contextual advertising and sponsored content

Cookbook Social may show clearly labeled sponsored placements. Sponsored content is selected contextually, not through behavioral profiling or cross-site tracking.

Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy, legality, safety, and availability of their offers and destination links. We may reject, limit, hide, or remove campaigns that are misleading, unsafe, unlawful, or inconsistent with the service. Displaying sponsored content does not mean that we endorse the advertiser or guarantee the advertised product or service.
