Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Tasteze (“the Service”), operated by DnD Media Co. (“we,” “us,” or “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EU/EEA) to use Tasteze. By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.

3. Description of Service

Tasteze is a meal management platform that provides recipe management, AI-powered recipe generation and import, meal planning, grocery list generation, pantry tracking, barcode scanning, cookbook creation, household data sharing, nutritional estimates, and personalized recipe suggestions. The Service is available as a web application and as an iOS app.

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You may not use another person's account without their permission.

Household accounts: When you create or join a household, you consent to sharing your recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, and pantry data with all household members. Each household member must have their own account. The household creator can add and remove members. If you leave a household, content you personally created remains associated with your account.

5. Subscriptions and Payments

Tasteze offers a free tier and paid subscription plans (Home Cook and Chef). See our Pricing page for current plan details and pricing.

Billing: Premium subscriptions are billed monthly or annually. Web subscriptions are processed by Stripe. iOS subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store.

Auto-renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled before the renewal date. For iOS subscriptions, payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. For web subscriptions, you can manage billing from the Settings page within the app.

Refunds: iOS subscription refunds are handled by Apple according to their refund policy. Web subscription refunds are handled through Stripe. Contact support@tasteze.app for refund requests.

6. AI-Generated Content

Tasteze uses artificial intelligence (powered by Anthropic and OpenAI) to generate recipes, recipe images, nutritional estimates, chef's notes, herbal blend suggestions, drink pairings, and blog content. You acknowledge and agree that:

• AI-generated content is provided as suggestions and may contain errors in ingredients, quantities, instructions, or nutritional values
• AI-generated recipes have not been independently tested or verified for safety. Always use your own judgment when preparing food, especially regarding allergens, dietary restrictions, and food safety
• AI outputs may not be unique — other users may receive similar or identical recipes
• AI-generated images are clearly produced by artificial intelligence and may not accurately represent the final dish
• We are not liable for any adverse effects from following AI-generated recipes, including allergic reactions, food-borne illness, or other harm

7. Nutritional Information and Health Disclaimer

Nutritional data provided by Tasteze is estimated using AI and publicly available databases. It may not be accurate and should not be relied upon for medical dietary management.

Tasteze is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. Nutritional estimates, dietary recommendations, and health-tagged recipes are informational only and are not a substitute for professional medical or dietary advice. Consult a healthcare provider or registered dietitian for specific nutritional needs.

Allergen warning: AI-generated recipes may contain allergens not explicitly identified. Always verify all ingredients for allergens before preparing or consuming any recipe. Pantry expiration date tracking is advisory — always inspect food for signs of spoilage regardless of tracked dates.

8. User Content

Ownership: You retain ownership of recipes and other content you create or import. By using the Service, you grant Tasteze a non-exclusive, worldwide license to store, display, and process your content as necessary to provide the Service (including household sharing, public recipe links, and AI processing for suggestions).

Sharing: When you share a recipe via a public link, anyone with the link can view it. You can revoke sharing at any time by deleting the share link.

Responsibility: You must not share content that infringes on others' intellectual property rights, is harmful, obscene, or violates any applicable law.

9. Partner and Creator Content

Recipes published by partners and content creators are provided by those third parties. While we review partner content for quality, we do not independently verify every recipe for accuracy, safety, or allergen content. Partner-created recipes are subject to the same disclaimers as user and AI-generated content. Partners are responsible for the accuracy of their published recipes.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract data from the Service through automated means
• Abuse AI generation features (e.g., automated bulk requests, prompt injection)
• Share content that is harmful, offensive, or violates others' rights
• Circumvent rate limits, subscription restrictions, or security measures
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity
• Use the Service to create content that promotes dangerous food practices

11. Intellectual Property

The Tasteze name, logo, design, and software are the intellectual property of DnD Media Co. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without our written permission.

AI-generated recipes and images created through the Service are provided for your personal use. System recipes and curated content are owned by Tasteze and licensed to you for personal, non-commercial use while your account is active.

12. Service Availability and Offline Mode

We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance or due to circumstances beyond our control.

Tasteze supports offline access to previously cached data. Offline data may not reflect the most recent changes. When connectivity is restored, offline changes are automatically synced. In the event of a sync conflict, the most recent change takes precedence.

13. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from the Settings page. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms, abuse the Service, or engage in fraudulent activity. Upon termination:

• Your access to the Service will be revoked
• Your personal data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy (within 30 days)
• Active subscriptions will not be automatically refunded upon termination for cause
• Content you shared publicly may have been saved by other users and cannot be recalled

14. Disclaimers of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, SAFE, OR FREE OF ERRORS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION WILL BE ACCURATE OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR DIETARY NEED.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO FOOD-RELATED INCIDENTS, ALLERGIC REACTIONS, DATA LOSS, OR RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED CONTENT OR NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless DnD Media Co. and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these terms, or any food preparation based on content obtained through the Service.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Florida, unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction.

18. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via the app or email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree, you may delete your account before the changes take effect.
