Terms of Service
Welcome to Family Cookbook. These terms are a plain-language agreement between you and Family Cookbook ("we", "us") covering your use of familycookbook.ai and the Family Cookbook service. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them.
1. What the service is
Family Cookbook is a private, invite-only place for a family to save, organize, and share recipes — including scanning recipe cards, importing recipes from the web, planning meals, and enhancing food photos. It is designed for personal, non-commercial family use.
2. Your account
You need an account to use the service. Keep your sign-in credentials secure — you're responsible for activity under your account. You must provide accurate information and be at least 13 years old to create an account. Family members under 18 should join only at the invitation and under the supervision of a parent or guardian in their family.
3. Subscriptions & billing
- Plans. Single ($16.99/year, 1 cook) and Family ($39.99/year, up to 4 cooks). Additional cooks can be added to a Family plan for $7.99/year each, up to 8 cooks total.
- Usage allowances. Each plan includes a monthly allowance of AI recipe imports and photo touch-ups as described on our pricing page. Optional top-ups may be purchased and do not expire.
- Renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically each year unless cancelled. We'll charge the payment method on file at renewal.
- Cancellation. Cancel anytime; your subscription stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. After that, you keep read access to your recipes so nothing is lost, but paid features stop.
- Price changes. If we change prices, we'll notify you before your next renewal so you can decide whether to continue.
- Payments are processed by our payment provider; we never see or store your full card number.
4. Your recipes are yours
You own the recipes, photos, notes, and other content your family adds. You give us only the limited license we need to operate the service — to store your content, back it up, and display it to the family members you've invited. We do not sell your content, use it in advertising, or share it outside your family. If you delete content or your account, that license ends.
5. Acceptable use
Don't use the service to store or share content that is unlawful, infringing, or harmful; don't attempt to break, probe, or overload the service; don't resell it; and only invite people to your family cookbook who you actually know. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service or other people.
6. AI features
Recipe scanning, web import, and photo enhancement use artificial intelligence. AI makes mistakes: a transcribed quantity, temperature, or cooking time can be wrong. Always use your own judgment — especially around food safety, allergens, and cooking temperatures. AI-enhanced photos are stylized recreations and may differ from the original dish.
7. Service changes and availability
We work to keep the service reliable, but it's provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We may add, change, or retire features. If we ever discontinue the service, we'll give you reasonable notice and a way to export your recipes first.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
9. Ending these terms
You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms; where practical, we'll warn you first.
10. Changes to these terms
If we make material changes, we'll post the updated terms here and note the new effective date. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
