Terms of Service

1. Who we are

SimplyPlate ("SimplyPlate," "we," "us") provides meal planning, recipe, grocery-list, and related services through simply-plate.com and our mobile applications (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to create an account. You are responsible for your login credentials and for activity under your account.

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account, or by contacting us. Deletion removes your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. Subscriptions and trials

Parts of the Service require a paid subscription. New accounts receive a free trial; when the trial ends, paid features stop unless you subscribe. The deterministic planning features included in your trial remain governed by these Terms.

Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the price shown at purchase until canceled. You can cancel anytime; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Where you subscribe through an app marketplace (such as the Apple App Store), that marketplace's billing and cancellation terms also apply.

Prices may change; we will notify you before a change affects an active subscription.

4. Food, nutrition, and allergy information

SimplyPlate is not a medical, dietetic, or allergy service. Nutrition values are estimates and can vary with brands, portions, and preparation. Nothing in the Service is medical advice; consult a qualified professional for dietary or medical decisions.

We treat the allergy information you enter as a strict planning constraint, and we err on the side of caution with "may contain" ingredients — but we cannot guarantee any recipe, ingredient, or product is free of any allergen. Always verify ingredients and labels yourself, especially for severe allergies.

5. Your content

Recipes, preferences, and other content you add remain yours. You grant us the license needed to store, process, and display that content to you and your household in order to run the Service.

When you import or save third-party recipes, the original creator's rights are unaffected; we preserve attribution and link to original sources where available. Do not upload content you do not have the right to use.

If you submit a photo for a recipe, you confirm you took it yourself and grant SimplyPlate a non-exclusive license to display it within the Service, credited to you. You can request removal of your photos at any time by contacting us.

6. Acceptable use

Do not misuse the Service: no unlawful use, no attempts to break, overload, or reverse-engineer it, no scraping other users' data, and no reselling the Service without our written permission.

7. Disclaimers and liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties and our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; where that is the case, these limits apply to the fullest extent permitted.

8. Changes and termination

We may update the Service and these Terms. For material changes we will give you reasonable notice (for example, in-app or by email). Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time.
