Table of contents
The short version: when you use Tasteze, you and DND Media Group LLC enter into this agreement. You keep ownership of your recipes; we get a narrow licence to display and process them so the features work. We can update these terms with notice. If we fight, we fight in Florida state or federal court — but we’d prefer not to.
The summary.
Who’s agreeing to what. You (the person using Tasteze) and DND Media Group LLC (the company that runs the platform).
What you get. Access to the platform — the apps, APIs, and the partner blog network — at the tier you’ve signed up for, subject to the limits described in /pricing.
What we get. A narrow licence to display, process, and (for partners) publish the content you upload, plus the right to bill you on the subscription you chose.
What stays yours. Your recipes. Always.
The agreement.
By creating an account, signing in, or using the platform, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you’re using Tasteze on behalf of a household, an organisation, or a business, you’re confirming you have the authority to bind that group to this agreement.
You must be at least 13 years old to hold a Tasteze account (16 in the EU/UK). If you’re a household owner inviting a minor, you remain the legal counterparty.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes — anything that limits your rights or expands your obligations — get at least 30 days’ notice via email and a banner in the app. Non-material changes — clarifications, typos, vendor swaps that don’t affect what you see — take effect when posted. Past versions live at /terms/history.
Your account.
One account per person. You’re responsible for keeping your credentials secure — passkeys are strongly preferred. If you spot unauthorised access, email security@tasteze.app and we’ll lock the account while we investigate.
Households let you share recipes, plans, shopping lists, and pantry across up to 12 people on the Chef tier. Each member has their own account; only the owner is billed. Roles (owner, admin, member) determine what each member can change.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that are using the platform in violation of Article 07, with or without notice — the urgency depends on the severity of the issue.
Your recipes.
You own the content you upload — recipes you create, recipes you import, photos you take, notes you leave, cookbooks you compile, blog posts you (or our AI on your behalf) publish. Tasteze claims no ownership of any of it.
You’re responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload what you upload. If you import a recipe from someone else’s blog, the underlying ingredients aren’t copyrightable — but the prose, photos, and presentation are. Bring what’s yours, cite what isn’t.
AI-generated content. When you ask the platform to generate or transform a recipe, the output is yours under the same terms as the input. We don’t claim ownership of AI outputs you commission. The underlying model providers retain no licence to your prompts (see Privacy Article 04).
What you give us.
To run the platform, you grant Tasteze a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, store, copy, and (for features that require it) modify your content for the limited purpose of providing the service to you and your household.
For partners only: you also grant us the right to publish your blog posts on blog.tasteze.app and on any custom domain you’ve connected. Either party can revoke this publication licence at any time — when you delete a post or your partner status, we remove it from the public internet within 24 hours and from search engine caches as quickly as the search engines permit.
What we don’t take. Rights to use your content in advertising, to sell it to third parties, to train external AI models on it, or to keep it after you delete your account.
Subscriptions & payments.
Tasteze offers three tiers — Free, Home Cook, and Chef — at the prices listed on /pricing. The Free tier has no time limit; you can stay on it indefinitely. Paid tiers bill at signup and renew until cancelled.
Billing. Payments are processed by RevenueCat (Apple App Store + Stripe). Subscriptions auto-renew until you cancel. Cancel from Settings → Subscription or directly in the App Store, depending on where you signed up. You retain access through the end of the period you’ve paid for.
Price changes. If we change the price of a tier you’re on, we’ll notify you at least 30 days ahead. The new price applies at the start of the next billing period — you can cancel before then to avoid the change.
Refunds. We don’t issue prorated refunds for partial billing periods, but we honour App Store refund requests routed through Apple. For Stripe-billed accounts, email billing@tasteze.app within 14 days of a charge if something went wrong and we’ll sort it out.
If you stop paying. Your account drops to the Free tier. Every recipe, plan, cookbook, and pantry item is preserved. You just lose access to premium features and the limits of /pricing apply.
The partner program.
Tasteze partners — Chef-tier subscribers approved through the partner application — get an additional licence: the right to publish a blog at blog.tasteze.app/[your-slug] and, optionally, on a custom domain you connect. The partner program is governed by these Terms plus the Partner Addendum.
Editorial standards. Partners are responsible for the accuracy and originality of content published on their blog. Tasteze provides AI-assisted drafting, but the partner is the author of record. We may remove content that violates Article 07 or that we reasonably believe infringes third-party rights.
Custom domains. When you connect a custom domain, you grant Tasteze the right to provision SSL certificates and DNS records as necessary to serve your blog. You remain the registrant of the domain itself.
Termination of partner status. Either party can end the partner relationship at any time. On termination, your blog posts go offline within 24 hours; your underlying recipes and account remain unaffected.
What you may not do.
We try not to legislate good behaviour, but a few things are off the table.
- Use the platform for anything illegal, including infringing intellectual property, distributing malware, or violating export controls.
- Upload content that’s defamatory, harassing, threatening, or that solicits exploitation of minors.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the platform — except where local law expressly permits it.
- Use the API to scrape system recipes, partner blogs, or any other Tasteze content for republication.
- Resell access to your account, share credentials with people outside your household, or rent out partner blog space to third parties without written consent.
- Interfere with the platform’s operation — DoS attacks, attempts to bypass rate limits or feature gates, automated account creation.
- Use our AI features to generate content that violates our acceptable use policy (broadly: nothing illegal, no targeted harassment, no instructions for self-harm or illegal activity).
Disclaimers.
Tasteze is provided “as is.” We work hard to keep it reliable, but we don’t warrant uninterrupted service, error-free operation, or that the platform will meet every one of your specific requirements.
AI outputs are suggestions, not guarantees. The recipes, nutrition estimates, ingredient classifications, and chef notes our AI generates may contain errors. Always use your own judgement when cooking — particularly around food safety, allergens, and dietary restrictions.
Allergy information is best-effort. Our allergen warnings combine declared ingredients with AI inference. We make every reasonable effort to flag conflicts, but if you have a serious allergy, verify the recipe yourself before serving it. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Liability.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, DND Media Group LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform.
Our total liability for any claim related to the platform is capped at the greater of (a) the amount you paid Tasteze in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred US dollars.
Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limits. Where that’s true, the limits don’t apply to you and you keep whatever rights local law grants.
Termination.
You can leave any time. Cancel your subscription from Settings; delete your account from Settings → Account → Delete. Account deletion triggers a 30-day soft purge followed by 90 days of backup retention, then permanent removal. Backups are not restored after the soft-purge window passes.
We can terminate for material breach of these Terms — usually with notice and an opportunity to fix things, but immediately for serious violations (fraud, abuse, security threats, content that puts users at risk).
Sections that should logically survive termination — ownership, licence grant for content you’ve already published, disclaimers, liability limits — survive.
Governing law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes go to state or federal courts located in Florida — both parties consent to jurisdiction there.
We’d much rather not litigate. If you have a complaint, write to legal@tasteze.app and we’ll try to resolve it informally first. We recommend giving us 30 days to respond before filing anything.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other documents referenced here, are the entire agreement between you and Tasteze about the platform.
