Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: 26 July 2025

Welcome to Family Values ("we," "our," or "us"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Family Values website, tools, and services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

By using the Service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Service Overview

Family Values provides a digital recipe management platform, including:

  • Recipe storage (with optional image uploads)
  • AI-powered recipe import tools (e.g., from photos, text, PDFs)
  • Meal planning functionality
  • Grocery list generation

AI tools are provided as a convenience to assist users in creating and formatting recipes. We make no guarantees as to their accuracy or completeness. Users are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and confirming all recipe content before saving or relying on it.

3. User-Generated Content (UGC)

Users may choose to store recipes privately or share them publicly. You retain ownership of content you upload. By making recipes public, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and share that content within the platform.

You are responsible for ensuring that your content does not infringe on the rights of any third party or violate any laws.

4. AI Limitations and Disclaimers

Our AI tools are intended to be fun, fast helpers—not professional nutritionists or chefs. All AI-generated output is presented for review prior to saving. You are responsible for validating content before using it.

We specifically disclaim any liability for inaccuracies in AI-generated recipes, nutritional content, or suggested ingredients. Users should not rely solely on AI results for dietary needs, allergies, or health-related decisions.

5. Health and Cooking Risks

Cooking and food preparation involve inherent risks. We are not liable for injuries, illness, or damages resulting from:

  • Improper food handling
  • Ingredient substitutions
  • Allergy exposure
  • Inaccurate measurements or directions

Always consult medical professionals regarding dietary restrictions or allergies.

6. Subscription & Billing

The Service is free for up to 5 saved recipes.

Unlimited usage is available at $1.99/month or $19.99/year.

Payments are handled securely by Stripe.

All purchases are final. However, if you are dissatisfied, you may contact us through the website’s contact form for a case-by-case refund consideration. We reserve the right to update our pricing and subscription model at any time.

We may introduce fair-use limits on AI features (e.g., image generation or recipe imports) in the future to maintain service quality.

7. Privacy

We collect and store recipe data, ingredients, and user instructions to provide our service. Personal information (e.g., email) is optional but may enhance functionality.

We use third-party services to operate the platform, including:

  • Supabase (data and auth)
  • Vercel (hosting)
  • Stripe (billing)
  • OpenAI (AI functionality)
  • Google Analytics (analytics)
  • Brevo (email communication)

Use of the Service constitutes consent to our privacy practices and use of third-party integrations.

8. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. If you suspect unauthorized activity, notify us immediately. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorized access to your account.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Service for any reason, including violation of these Terms. You may delete your account at any time via the platform or by contacting us.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Family Values disclaims all liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from your use of the Service.

11. Modifications to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via the platform or email. Continued use after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
