You may access and use the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may:

• Print or save a single copy of a recipe — including the “print recipe” feature on the Site, which may include one accompanying image — for your own personal, non-commercial reference.
• Share a link to a page on the Site, provided the link clearly points back to the original page.

4. Prohibited conduct

When using the Site, you agree not to:

• Copy, reproduce, republish, scrape, harvest, or redistribute any content (including recipes, text, images, or videos) except as expressly permitted in these Terms.
• Use the Site or its content for any commercial purpose without our prior written permission.
• Use automated systems, bots, scrapers, or data-mining tools to access or collect content from the Site.

• Introduce viruses, malware, or any other harmful material.
• Use the Site in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, or harmful, or that infringes the rights of others.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, watermark, or proprietary notices.

5. Intellectual property & ownership

All content on the Site — including recipes, written instructions, articles, text, photographs, images, graphics, videos, logos, and the overall look and feel — is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited personal use granted in these Terms, no part of the Site may be reproduced, distributed, modified, displayed, or used in any form or by any means without our prior written permission.

6. Use of recipes

Recipes are provided for your personal, non-commercial use. You are welcome to cook our recipes for yourself, your family, and your friends. However:

• You may not republish a recipe in full (the ingredient list together with the written instructions) on any other website, blog, social media account, publication, app, video, or printed material.
• If you would like to feature one of our recipes (for example, in a recipe round-up), you may share a single photo with proper credit and a direct link back to the original recipe page, and you must rewrite any description in your own words and link to our Site for the full recipe rather than copying it. (Adjust or remove this allowance if you do not wish to permit it.)
• Selling, licensing, or commercially exploiting our recipes is not permitted without our prior written consent.

7. Photos and images — no reuse

All photographs and images on the Site are protected by copyright and are owned by us or used under license. You may not download, copy, save, reproduce, edit, repost, or otherwise use any image from the Site on any website, social media platform, marketing material, product, or other medium without our express prior written permission. This includes, but is not limited to, cropping, recoloring, adding text or watermarks, or using images in collages or thumbnails.

If you wish to use one of our images, please contact us to request written permission. Unauthorized use of our images is a violation of copyright law and these Terms.

Exception — personal print: The Site’s “print recipe” feature may produce a copy of a recipe together with one accompanying image. You may print or save this output for your own personal, non-commercial use only. This does not grant you any right to republish, share, post, or otherwise distribute that image or recipe.

8. AI-generated images

Some images on the Site are created or enhanced using artificial intelligence tools and are intended to be illustrative. As a result, an image may not exactly represent the real-life appearance, color, portion size, or final result of a dish prepared from the corresponding recipe. Images are provided to inspire and give a general impression, and should not be relied upon as an exact depiction of how your finished dish will look. We always do our best to test and improve our recipes and content, and to keep imagery as faithful and helpful as possible.

9. Recipe & accuracy disclaimer

Our recipes and content are provided “as is” for general informational purposes only. While we take care to test and refine our recipes, we make no guarantee, representation, or warranty that any recipe will be accurate, complete, error-free, or that following it will produce a particular result.

• Cooking results vary depending on ingredients, equipment, oven calibration, altitude, technique, measurement, substitutions, and personal skill, all of which are outside our control.
• We are not responsible if a recipe does not turn out as expected, contains an error or omission, or if you are unable to successfully prepare it.
• You follow our recipes and use our content entirely at your own risk and discretion, and you are responsible for exercising your own judgment, including safe cooking practices and proper food handling, storage, and cooking temperatures.

10. Health, allergens & nutrition

Content on the Site is not medical, nutritional, or dietary advice and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

• Allergens and dietary needs: You are solely responsible for checking ingredients and for ensuring that any recipe is safe and suitable for you and anyone you cook for, including those with allergies, intolerances, medical conditions, or specific dietary requirements. We are not liable for any allergic reaction, illness, or adverse effect resulting from the preparation or consumption of any dish based on our content.
• Nutrition information: Any nutritional information provided is an estimate only, generated automatically or calculated for convenience, and may not be accurate. Do not rely on it for medical or dietary decisions.
• If you have a health condition or specific dietary concern, consult a qualified physician or dietitian before relying on any recipe or information on the Site.

11. Comments & user submissions

The Site may allow you to post comments or other content. Comments are moderated, and we may review, edit, decline, or remove any comment at our discretion (for example, spam, abusive, unlawful, off-topic, or infringing content). By submitting a comment or other content, you:

• Confirm that it is your own and does not infringe anyone else’s rights.
• Grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, and adapt your submission in connection with operating and promoting the Site.

As an Amazon Associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases. The presence of advertising or affiliate links does not constitute an endorsement of any third-party product or service, and we are not responsible for products or services offered by third parties.

13. Third-party links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources that we do not control. We provide these links for convenience only and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, products, services, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk.

14. No warranties

The Site and all its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we, together with our owners, partners, and contributors, will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Site or its content, including but not limited to:

• Any allergic reaction, illness, injury, or damage resulting from preparing or consuming any dish;

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so — including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the laws of Hungary or your country of residence. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
