DishBinder Terms of Service
Effective date: 2026-10-08
1. Acceptance
By creating an account or using DishBinder you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
2. What DishBinder is
DishBinder is a personal recipe management application. It helps you save, organize, and search recipes; import recipes from URLs; build a weekly meal plan; generate a grocery list; and use AI features (Chef chat, recipe generator, meal planner) to assist with cooking. DishBinder is not a source of nutritional, dietary, or medical advice — see section 7.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use DishBinder; sign-up asks for your month and year of birth to check this. If you are under 18, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission, and they agree to these Terms for you.
4. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. Use a strong password. Don't share your credentials. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@duskfieldstudios.com if you suspect your account has been accessed without your authorization.
5. Subscriptions & payments
New accounts get a 7-day free trial that starts when you sign up and needs no payment card; you are not charged unless you subscribe. When you subscribe — during or after the trial — you are billed that day at the plan price, and the subscription renews automatically each period until you cancel. Subscriptions are billed by the Apple App Store, Google Play, or Stripe on the web. Cancel any time: a web subscription in Settings, an App Store or Google Play subscription in your store account settings at least 24 hours before it renews. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Refunds for App Store and Google Play purchases are handled by Apple or Google; see our Refund Policy for web purchases.
See the dedicated Subscription Terms page for plan prices, free-trial mechanics, and step-by-step cancellation instructions for each platform.
6. AI features
The Chef chat, recipe generator, meal planner and photo features are powered by AI models from third parties (see the Privacy Policy). Chef is an AI, not a person. AI output may occasionally be inaccurate, unappetizing, nutritionally unbalanced, or list ingredients that don't actually combine well. Use your judgment — and your taste buds — before cooking anything an AI generates. The AI is not a registered dietitian or food-safety expert.
7. Recipe content disclaimer
Recipes you save (whether typed, scraped from a URL, or generated by AI) are not reviewed by us for nutritional accuracy, allergen safety, food-borne-illness risk, or compatibility with any medical condition. If you have food allergies, dietary restrictions, or any health condition that affects what you can safely eat, verify every ingredient yourself before cooking. DishBinder is not liable for the consequences of cooking or eating any recipe in your library.
8. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Abuse the AI features with prompts that violate our or our AI providers’ content policies
- Attempt to access other users' data or recipes without authorization
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the app
- Scrape DishBinder programmatically beyond what your normal interactive use generates
- Upload or share content that infringes anyone’s copyright or other rights, contains malware, or depicts illegal content
- Share a recipe publicly as your own when you did not create it
- Use DishBinder to commit fraud, harass other users, or violate any applicable law
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section without notice.
9. Your data and content
You keep whatever rights you have in the recipes, photos, notes and other content you add. Recipes you import from websites, videos or books may belong to someone else: import them for your own personal use only. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process and display your content to run DishBinder for you and your household and, for content you share publicly, to show it to anyone and let search engines index it, until you stop sharing it. See our Privacy Policy for details on data collection, processors, and your rights.
9a. Copyright complaints and repeat infringers
If you believe content shared on DishBinder infringes your copyright, follow our Copyright & DMCA policy. We remove infringing content when properly notified, and we close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe.
10. Intellectual property
The DishBinder name, logo, design, code, and all original content provided by us are owned by Duskfield Studios LLC. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the app or its assets without our written permission.
11. Disclaimer of warranties
DishBinder is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the app will be available without interruption, that recipe imports will succeed for every URL, that AI output will be accurate or appetizing, or that the app will be free of bugs.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Duskfield Studios LLC's total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of DishBinder shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
13. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising from your use of DishBinder shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
14. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification or email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of DishBinder after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
