Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By visiting or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect and why. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site.

You must be old enough to enter into a binding agreement where you live, or have a parent or guardian's permission, to submit comments or contact us through the Site. Browsing recipes does not require any account or registration.

2. Use of Content and Copyright

The text, recipes, layout, graphics and other material on the Site belong to Recipes Charm or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other applicable laws. Unless a page says otherwise, we reserve all rights in them.

What you may do

• Read the recipes, print them or save them for your own personal, non-commercial use, such as cooking at home for your family and friends.
• Share a recipe by linking to its page on the Site.
• Quote a short excerpt, such as a title and a sentence or two, as long as you credit Recipes Charm and link to the original recipe page.

What you may not do

• Copy, republish or redistribute full recipes (the ingredient list together with the instructions) or other substantial parts of the Site on another website, app, newsletter, video or publication without our written permission.
• Sell or otherwise use Site content for any commercial purpose, including inclusion in paid products or services.
• Remove copyright or attribution notices from our content.
• Scrape or copy the Site in bulk using automated means, or interfere with its normal operation or security.

If you would like to use our content in a way not covered above, please ask through the contact page before you do.

3. User Submissions

The Site lets visitors submit ratings and comments on recipes and send messages through the contact form. These rules apply to everything you submit:

• You are responsible for what you write. Submit only content that is yours to share and that does not infringe anyone else's rights.
• Keep it respectful and relevant. Do not post anything unlawful, abusive, harassing, hateful, misleading or spam, and do not include advertising or links to unrelated sites.
• Protect your privacy. Comments are public. Do not post personal details such as your address or phone number in a comment.
• License to us. By posting a comment or rating, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to display it on the Site and to edit it for length or clarity where needed.
• Moderation. We may decline, edit or remove any submission, at any time, if we think it breaks these Terms or is not helpful to other readers.

Messages sent through the contact form (name, email address and message) are used only to reply to you. Comments and rating submissions include the name and text you enter. See the Privacy Policy for details on how this information is handled.

Comments and ratings express the views of the people who post them, not those of Recipes Charm. A comment suggesting a change to a recipe has not been verified by us, so use your own judgement.

4. Recipe and Nutrition Disclaimer

Recipes on the Site are developed and edited to offer clear steps, realistic times and temperatures, ingredient substitutions and food-safety notes. Cooking is still affected by many things we cannot control, so please read this section carefully.

Results vary

Your results may differ from the description or photo of a recipe. Oven calibration, pan size and material, ingredient brands, freshness, humidity, altitude and your own technique all affect cooking times and the finished dish. Times given are guides, not guarantees. Use your senses and your experience, and adjust as needed.

Food safety and doneness

You are responsible for preparing food safely. Wash your hands and surfaces, keep raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs away from ready-to-eat foods, and refrigerate leftovers promptly. Cook meat, poultry, fish and egg dishes until they reach a safe internal temperature, and confirm doneness with a food thermometer rather than by color or time alone. Follow the safe-temperature guidance of the USDA or your local health authority.

Take extra care when cooking for infants, older adults, pregnant women and anyone with a weakened immune system.

Allergens and dietary needs

Many recipes contain common allergens such as wheat, milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, fish and shellfish. Substitutions we suggest may change the result and are not guaranteed to be allergen-free. Always read the labels of the products you buy, because ingredients and manufacturing practices change.

Labels such as "gluten-free," "dairy-free" or "low-carb" describe the intended recipe, and you must check that the specific products you use meet your needs. If you or a person you cook for has a food allergy or intolerance, check every ingredient yourself before cooking and serving.

Nutrition information

Any nutrition values on the Site are estimates for general information only. Actual values depend on the brands, quantities, substitutions and preparation methods you use, and on how many servings you divide the dish into. They should not be relied on for medical purposes or strict dietary tracking.

Not medical or dietary advice

Nothing on the Site is medical, nutritional or dietary advice, and it does not replace the advice of a doctor, registered dietitian or other qualified professional. If you have a medical condition, follow a prescribed diet or have specific health concerns, talk to a qualified professional before changing what you eat.

5. Third-Party Links and Ads

The Site may link to other websites, including our social profiles on Pinterest, and may display advertising from third parties. We do not own or control these sites or advertisers and are not responsible for their content, products, services, security or privacy practices. Linking to or displaying something does not mean we endorse it. Your dealings with third parties, including any purchase you make from an advertiser, are solely between you and them, and their own terms and privacy policies apply. We also use services such as Cloudflare for content delivery and security, which may set technical cookies; the Privacy Policy explains more.

6. Availability of the Site

We aim to keep the Site available and accurate, but we do not promise uninterrupted access or that it will be free of errors. We may change, suspend or remove parts of the Site, including individual recipes, at any time without notice.

7. Limitation of Liability

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Recipes Charm will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages arising from your use of the Site or from preparing, serving or eating any dish made from a recipe on it. This includes illness, allergic reaction, injury, property damage (such as kitchen accidents), failed recipes and wasted ingredients. You use the recipes and information at your own risk.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some places do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when they are posted, and continuing to use the Site after that means you accept the updated Terms. Please check this page occasionally.

9. Contact

If you have questions about these Terms, want to request permission to use our content, or want to report a comment or other content that breaks these Terms, please use the Contact Us page. You can also read more about the Site on the About Us page.
