Terms of Use
These terms are the agreement between you and Recipe Reduction (“we”, “us”) for the Recipe Reduction app and website (the “service”). By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
What the service does
You give the service a recipe, as a link, pasted text, a photo of a page or a page shared from your browser, and it produces a diagram and a step-by-step view you can cook from, keeps your recipes in a library with any notes you add, tracks your progress and can time steps. Extraction is done by an automated system and can make mistakes: a quantity, a temperature, a time or a step may be wrong or missing. Read the result before you rely on it, and use your own judgement in the kitchen, especially about food safety, cooking temperatures and allergens. The service is a cooking aid, not a substitute for a recipe you have checked yourself.
Your account
You must be at least 13 years old to use the service. You sign in with a Google or Apple account and you are responsible for keeping that account secure and for what happens under it. One account can be used on the website and in the app.
The free recipes and subscriptions
Each account may add three recipes free of charge, however they are added: from a link, pasted text, a photo, a page opened in the app’s browser or shared to it from another app, or a suggested recipe. A recipe tried on the website before signing up counts as one of the three. Adding more recipes requires a subscription.
A subscription is unlimited for normal personal use: add as many recipes as you like, including your whole existing collection. To keep the service working for everyone, we may limit, slow down or suspend an account whose use is automated, excessive (far beyond what one person collecting and cooking recipes would do) or abusive, that puts an unreasonable load on the service, or whose sign-in is shared between many people. Where we can, we will contact you before doing so.
In the app, subscriptions are sold through Apple’s In-App Purchase on an iPhone or iPad, and through Google Play’s billing on an Android phone:
- Monthly: US$1.99 per month.
- Yearly: US$19.99 per year.
Prices are shown in your local currency in the App Store before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period at the same price unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel it in your device’s Settings, under your Apple Account, Subscriptions; deleting the app does not cancel it. Refunds for purchases made through Apple are handled by Apple under its own terms.
On an Android phone, prices are shown in your local currency in Google Play before you buy. Payment is charged to your Google account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically for the same period at the same price unless you cancel it before the end of the current period. You manage and cancel it in the Google Play Store, under your profile picture, Payments & subscriptions, Subscriptions; deleting the app does not cancel it. Refunds for purchases made through Google Play are handled by Google under its own terms.
On the website, subscriptions are billed by Stripe and can be managed from Settings there.
A subscription bought in any of these places unlocks the same account everywhere. We may change prices for future periods; if we do, you will be told in advance and can cancel before the change takes effect.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time from Settings. This deletes your recipes and progress and cannot be undone. Deleting your account cancels any active subscription we are able to cancel: a website subscription ends immediately, and a Google Play subscription is cancelled so that it does not renew (if Google cannot be reached, the app tells you to cancel it in Google Play yourself). An App Store subscription can only be cancelled by you, in your Apple Account settings; deleting your account does not stop Apple billing you until you do.
Your content
The recipes you save, the edits you make and your progress are yours. You give us permission to store and process them so that the service can work, including sending the recipe you submit to our extraction provider. Recipes from other websites remain the property of their authors; the service extracts them for your personal, non-commercial use, and you are responsible for respecting the rights of whoever wrote them. Do not use the service to copy or republish other people’s recipes at scale.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to break into the service, overload it, extract data from it by automated means, share a single account between many people, or use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend or close an account that does.
Our content
The service itself, its design, software and name belong to us. You may use them only as part of using the service.
Other sites’ recipes and pictures
Suggested recipes link to the pages they came from and show each page’s title, its site and the picture that page publishes for sharing, credited to the site. Those recipes, pictures and words belong to their authors, not to us, and showing them is not a claim that the author endorses Recipe Reduction. If you own a recipe or picture shown in a suggestion and want it removed, email admin@recipereduction.com with the page’s address. We aim to act within three business days: we stop suggesting it and delete our stored copy of the picture.
Copyright complaints
If you believe something in the service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at admin@recipereduction.com that includes: your physical or electronic signature; the work you say is infringed; where it appears in the service; your contact details; a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for them. We remove material that is the subject of a valid notice, and we close the accounts of repeat infringers.
No warranty
The service is provided as is. We do not promise that it will be available at all times, that extraction will be accurate, or that it will suit your purposes. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the service, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
Apple and Google
The app is distributed through Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Apple is not a party to these terms, has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the app, and is not responsible for any claim relating to it. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. Your use of the app must also comply with the App Store’s terms of service. Google is likewise not a party to these terms; if you got the app from Google Play, your use of it must also comply with Google Play’s Terms of Service.
Ending the agreement
You can end it by deleting your account. We can end it, or suspend access, if you break these terms or if we withdraw the service; if we withdraw the service while you have a paid period remaining, we will tell you in advance.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top will change, and significant changes will be announced in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that is acceptance of the new terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the place where Recipe Reduction is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of your country of residence gives you protections that cannot be overridden.
