The terms that apply when you use the Recipe Developer app.
Effective 14 May 2026
These terms form a legal agreement between you and Recipe Developer ("we", "us") covering your use of the Recipe Developer iOS app, the website at this domain, and the supporting Cloudflare server that powers sharing, voice transcription, and video import (together, the "Service"). By downloading or using the app you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
These terms work alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle data.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on any Apple device you own or control, in line with the App Store Terms of Service.
The app is sold as a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no recurring fee. Updates and bug fixes are included for as long as we continue to maintain the app.
Unless we have entered into a separate written agreement with you, your use of the app is also subject to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement for apps sold through the App Store. Where Apple's standard EULA and these terms conflict, Apple's EULA wins for matters covered by Apple's terms, and these terms govern everything else.
You agree not to:
You are responsible for ensuring that any video, photo, or web page you import into the app is one you have the right to use for personal reference, and that any recipe you share publicly via the share-link feature is one you have the right to share.
The recipes, notes, photos, and voice recordings you create or import in the app are yours. We don't claim ownership of them and we don't sell them. They are stored on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your private iCloud account that we cannot access.
When you use the "Share recipe" feature, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, time-limited licence to host the shared recipe payload on our server and serve it to anyone who has the link, for up to 90 days from creation. You can ask us to delete a specific shared link at any time by emailing support@recipedeveloper.co.uk.
The app's AI features (recipe extraction, "Magic Recipe", meal-plan suggestions) work by sending data to an AI provider you choose — Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google — using an API key you supply. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and pricing:
You are responsible for any charges your AI provider bills you for usage triggered by the app. We do not see, control, or markup those charges. Cost estimates the app shows are illustrative and based on the provider's published per-token pricing at the time the screen was last updated; actual bills may differ.
AI output is generated by statistical models and can be wrong. We don't guarantee that an AI-generated recipe is accurate, safe, or suitable for any particular purpose. Treat AI-extracted ingredient quantities, cook times, and dietary information as a starting point you verify against the original source, not as fact. Do not rely on the app's AI features for medical, dietary, or allergen-related decisions.
The "Share recipe" feature generates a public URL that anyone with the link can open. We do not require a password or check who is viewing it. Don't share a recipe via this feature if you would not be comfortable with that URL being seen by anyone who finds it. Shared payloads are auto-deleted after 90 days, or sooner if you contact us to request removal.
The app itself, its source code, its design, the website, and the supporting server software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. The licence in section 2 is the only right you receive — no other rights are implied.
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement, and uninterrupted operation. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that it will be available without interruption.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including (where applicable) statutory consumer rights in the UK and EU.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.
Our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of or in connection with the Service is capped at the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim arose, or £50, whichever is greater.
Where you are a consumer, this section does not affect your statutory rights, and does not limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
You can stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the app. We may suspend or terminate your access to the supporting server (for example, the sharing and transcription endpoints) if you breach these terms or if continuing to provide the Service to you would expose us to legal risk.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including 8 (Intellectual property), 9 (Disclaimers), 10 (Liability), and 13 (Governing law) — survive.
We may update these terms from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top reflects the most recent update. If we make a material change, we will notify you in the app on next launch. Continued use of the Service after the change takes effect counts as acceptance.
These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules in the country where you live.
