Terms of Service

Agreement to Terms

Chef Chop is operated by Intentional Products LLC ("we"). By accessing or using Chef Chop ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Description of Service

Chef Chop is an AI-powered cooking assistant that helps you decide what to make, guides you while you cook, and learns your preferences over time. The Service is provided via our website at chefchop.app.

Accounts

You must be at least 13 to use Chef Chop. You may try Chef Chop without an account. To access the full service, you need to create a free account. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You must provide accurate information when creating your account.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the Service's underlying models or algorithms
• Use automated tools to scrape or extract data from the Service
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation

AI-Generated Content

Chef Chop provides AI-generated cooking suggestions, recipes, and guidance. While we strive for accuracy, please note:

• Not medical or nutritional advice. Our suggestions are for general cooking guidance only. Consult a healthcare professional for dietary or allergy-related medical advice.
• Allergy responsibility. Always verify ingredients against your known allergies. AI suggestions may not catch every potential allergen.
• Food safety. Follow standard food safety practices for cooking temperatures, storage, and handling. Chef Chop is a guide, not a substitute for food safety knowledge.
• No guarantee of accuracy. AI-generated content can contain errors, including in allergens, temperatures, times and measurements.
• Recipes change. Chef Chop can change a recipe after a review, sometimes without asking, and can get it wrong, including allergens, temperatures and tags like Gluten-Free. Check the current recipe.
• Your call. Public recipes and reviews come from cooks and AI, untested by us. You decide what to cook and accept that risk.

Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, and branding, is owned by Chef Chop. You can use and share recipes Chef Chop writes for you. Recipes and AI-written text often can't be owned, so others may use something similar. Don't scrape or resell Chef Chop content in bulk.

Your Content

You keep ownership of what you share with Chef Chop, including messages, photos, recipes and reviews. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, show, copy, adapt and share it to run and improve Chef Chop. That includes showing public recipes and reviews to anyone, with your name and profile picture, and changing your recipe after you review it, sometimes without asking. Others can save a public recipe, then edit, keep and share their copy on Chef Chop permanently, even if you delete yours. Deleting a review or recipe otherwise ends our license, apart from backups and the copies and memories our Privacy Policy describes. We don't train AI models of our own on your content. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your data, including what the AI companies we use may do with it.

Reviews, recipes and photos. Post only what you may share, and photos of people only with permission. We may remove anything containing someone's personal information or likeness; that is defamatory, harassing, abusive, obscene, sexually explicit or discriminatory; unrelated to the recipe; or clearly false or misleading. We don't remove reviews for being negative. Anyone can report content at hello@chefchop.app.

Copyright

Send notices meeting 17 USC 512(c)(3) to our agent: Davis Whitehead, Intentional Products LLC, 867 Boylston St, Suite 500 Unit #1395, Boston, MA 02116, hello@chefchop.app. We remove reported material, tell the poster, and may restore it after a valid counter-notice. We close repeat infringers' accounts.

Service Availability

We aim to keep Chef Chop available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance or due to circumstances beyond our control.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chef Chop is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, Intentional Products LLC and its owners are not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the last 12 months or $50. Nothing here limits liability the law doesn't allow us to limit.

Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. You can delete your account by contacting us. We may remove content, or suspend or end your access, if you violate these Terms or for a legal or safety need.

Governing Law

Massachusetts law governs these Terms. Lawsuits go to courts in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, unless the law lets you sue elsewhere.

Changes to These Terms

For material changes, we'll email you or notify you in the app 14 days before they take effect. Using Chef Chop after that means you accept them.
