Terms of Use
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and iZ Technologies ("we", "us"), the operator of the Recipiz mobile app (the "App"). By using the App you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.
1. Who can use Recipiz
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms.
2. Accounts
- You need an account to use the App. You can create one with your email address and a password, or with Google or Apple.
- You're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for activity under your account. Tell us at developers@iztechnology.net if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
- You can delete your account at any time from My account → Delete account in the App. This deletes your account and the recipes, cookbooks, grocery lists and photos in it. It does not cancel a subscription (see section 3).
3. Recipiz Premium subscriptions
Some features (such as unlimited recipe imports, nutrition estimates and grocery lists) require a Recipiz Premium subscription. The free plan has the limits shown in the App.
- Plans and prices. Premium is offered as a yearly or a monthly auto-renewing subscription. The price, billing period and any free trial are shown in the App before you subscribe, in your local currency, and may vary by country.
- Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account (App Store) or your Google Play account at confirmation of purchase, or at the end of a free trial. We never see or store your payment card details.
- Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period and at the then-current price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Free trials. Where offered, a free trial is available once per store account to eligible new subscribers. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged at the end of the trial. If you buy a subscription during a free trial, any unused part of the trial ends.
- Cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings (the App's My account screen links there). Cancelling stops future renewals; Premium stays available until the end of the period you've paid for.
- Refunds. Purchases are processed by Apple or Google, and refunds are handled under their policies. Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com. Google Play: through your Google Play order history.
- Deleting the App or your account does not cancel your subscription. Cancel it in the store to stop being charged.
- Price changes are communicated and applied according to the App Store and Google Play rules, which may require your consent.
4. Your content
- You keep ownership of what you add to the App: recipes, notes, ratings, photos, cookbooks and grocery lists ("Your Content").
- You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process and display Your Content only as needed to run the App for you. This includes sending recipe text to the service providers described in our Privacy Policy, for example to read an imported recipe or estimate its nutrition.
- When you import a recipe from a social media post or other source, that content may belong to its creator. You're responsible for making sure you have the right to save and use it, and the App is meant for your personal, non-commercial use of recipes you save.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- break any law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
- upload anything unlawful, harmful, hateful or sexually explicit, or malware;
- try to access accounts or data that aren't yours, or to probe, disrupt or overload the App or its servers;
- scrape, copy or resell the App or its content, or use automated means to access it, except as the App allows;
- reverse engineer the App, except where the law allows it despite this restriction.
6. Recipe imports, AI and nutrition estimates
Recipe imports and nutrition information are produced automatically, including with artificial intelligence. They can be incomplete or wrong. Nutrition values are estimates for general information only. They are not medical, dietary or allergy advice. Always check ingredients and allergens yourself, and talk to a qualified professional about your diet or health.
7. Third-party services
The App relies on third-party services, such as Apple, Google, and social media platforms you import from. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms. We aren't responsible for their content or availability.
8. Our app and intellectual property
The App, including its design, text, graphics and software (other than Your Content), belongs to iZ Technologies or its licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on devices you own or control, under these Terms and the store's usage rules.
9. Changes and availability
We may change, suspend or stop any part of the App. We'll try to give reasonable notice of changes that significantly affect paid features. We may update these Terms; when we do, we'll change the effective date above, and for material changes we'll give notice in the App. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
10. Suspension and termination
You can stop using the App at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, or if we must do so by law. Sections 4, 6 and 11 to 14 continue after termination.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that recipe imports or nutrition estimates will be accurate. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be excluded.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, iZ Technologies is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for Premium in the 12 months before the claim and CAD $50. Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify iZ Technologies against claims by third parties arising from Your Content or your breach of these Terms.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, unless the consumer protection laws where you live give you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.
15. App Store terms
If you downloaded the App from Apple's App Store:
- These Terms are between you and iZ Technologies only, not Apple. iZ Technologies, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Your licence to use the App is limited to Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
- iZ Technologies, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
- If a third party claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, iZ Technologies, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- You must comply with applicable third-party terms (such as your wireless data service agreement) when using the App.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, once you accept them, may enforce them against you.
If you downloaded the App from Google Play, the Google Play Terms of Service also apply to your use of Google Play.
16. General
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of the App. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the App.
