Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Chefpanion website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

Chefpanion is an AI-powered service that converts cooking videos into structured, step-by-step recipes. The Service uses artificial intelligence to analyze video content and generate recipe cards including ingredients, measurements, instructions, and synchronized visual references.

You acknowledge that AI-generated content may be inaccurate, incomplete, or contain errors. Chefpanion does not guarantee the correctness, completeness, or reliability of any recipe generated by the Service.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

To access certain features, you may need to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You agree not to use the Service to:

• Submit URLs to videos that you do not have the right to access or that are restricted, private, or behind authentication;
• Submit non-cooking videos or content unrelated to food and recipes;
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the Service's underlying systems or AI models;
• Use automated scripts, bots, or other means to access the Service in a manner that sends excessive requests or burdens our infrastructure;
• Upload or transmit any viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
• Use the Service for any illegal, fraudulent, or unauthorized purpose.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Acceptable Use provisions.

The Service operates on a credit-based system. Credits are virtual currency with no cash value and are not transferable, exchangeable, or redeemable for cash except as required by applicable law.

Purchased credits expire 30 days after purchase unless otherwise stated. The "Chef" plan includes unlimited credits subject to a monthly fair-use limit of 50,000 credits. Unused credits beyond this limit do not roll over.

All purchases are final. Refunds may be granted at our sole discretion on a case-by-case basis. To request a refund, contact us at [email protected] within 14 days of purchase with your account details and the reason for the request.

We reserve the right to modify credit pricing, plans, and fair-use limits at any time. Any changes will be posted on the Service and will apply to future purchases.

You acknowledge that recipes generated by the Service are produced by artificial intelligence and are derived from third-party video content. You do not acquire any ownership rights, copyright, or intellectual property interest in the AI-generated outputs.

Chefpanion does not claim ownership of the original recipes, video content, or intellectual property belonging to third-party creators. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the generated recipes for your personal, non-commercial cooking purposes.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service itself — including its design, code, trademarks, logos, and branding — remain the exclusive property of Chefpanion.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Chefpanion and its operators, affiliates, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service, whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Chefpanion and its operators from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property or privacy rights; or (d) any harm caused by food prepared using a recipe generated through the Service.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms or engaged in fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Upon account deletion by you or termination by us, we will retain your data for a period of one (1) month to allow for account recovery or legal compliance, after which it will be permanently deleted from our active systems. Backups and logs may be retained for a longer period as required by our technical infrastructure or applicable law.

Both you and Chefpanion agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Service.

Class Action Waiver and Binding Individual Arbitration

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration. You waive any right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, private attorney general actions, or representative proceedings of any kind. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted on an individual basis only, and the arbitrator shall not have authority to conduct arbitration on a class or collective basis.

Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by providing written notice to the other party detailing the nature of the dispute and the desired resolution.

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own costs in the arbitration, except that the arbitrator may award attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party as permitted by applicable law.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and/or by providing notice through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
