Terms of Service

Last updated: 8 August 2026

1. Who we are

Crumbbook ("we", "us", "the app") is a personal recipe-organiser web app, operated by Owen Spencer as an individual. You can reach us at owenspencer44@gmail.com or via the "Help & Support" option inside the app.

2. What the service is

Crumbbook lets you create an account, organise your own recipes into pages, generate and scan recipes using AI, estimate nutrition, plan meals on a weekly calendar, and generate shopping lists. A free tier is available with limited AI use; a one-time paid unlock (currently £4.99, valid for 12 months) increases your weekly AI allowance.

3. Your account

• You must provide a real, working email address and keep your password secure.
• You're responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission — the app has a "sign out other devices" option for exactly this.
• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• One account per person. Don't share your login with others.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for anything illegal, or to store/generate content that's illegal, hateful, or infringes someone else's rights.
• Attempt to bypass usage limits, security measures, or payment requirements.
• Use automated tools to scrape, abuse, or overload the service.
• Reverse-engineer, resell, or attempt to extract the underlying code or AI prompts of the service.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.

5. AI-generated content

Recipe generation, nutrition estimates, photo scanning, and shopping-list consolidation are powered by an AI model (currently Google's Gemini). This content is generated automatically and is best-effort, not verified by a human. In particular:

• Nutrition estimates are approximations for general tracking purposes, not medical or dietary advice — don't rely on them for allergy management, medical conditions, or clinical nutrition decisions.
• AI-scanned or AI-generated recipes may contain errors in quantities, timings, or ingredients. Use your own judgement, especially around food safety (cooking temperatures, allergens, storage times).
• We're not liable for outcomes resulting from following AI-generated content without your own judgement applied.

6. Payments

• The paid unlock is a one-time payment, not a recurring subscription — it does not auto-renew, and you won't be charged again unless you deliberately purchase another unlock after the current one expires.
• Payments are processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details.
• Because this unlocks digital content/access immediately upon payment, you acknowledge and agree that your standard UK right to cancel a digital purchase within 14 days does not apply once the unlock has been applied to your account, in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
• Refunds outside of that are considered case-by-case — contact support if something's gone wrong.

7. Your content

You own the recipes, notes, and other content you add to your cookbook. We don't claim ownership of it. By using the service, you give us permission to store and process that content solely to provide the app's features to you (e.g. saving it, running it through the AI features you trigger, including it in a shopping list you generate).

If you use the "Share" feature to send a recipe to someone else, you're choosing to make that specific recipe's content accessible via a link — that's a deliberate action on your part, not something we do automatically.

8. Service availability

We aim to keep the service running reliably but don't guarantee uninterrupted access. The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. We may update, change, or discontinue features over time.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability for things that can't legally be limited, such as death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the app changes. If we make material changes, we'll do our best to let existing users know (e.g. via a notice in the app). Continuing to use the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
