🍽️ agreement

By accessing or using Recepie Star (the "Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please step away from the stove — meaning, don't use the site. We keep things friendly, but these are the official guidelines.

📖 using our recipes & text

All recipes, articles, photographs, and other content on this site are owned by or licensed to Recepie Star. You are welcome to:

• ✔️ Cook the recipes and share the results (tag us — we love that!)
• ✔️ Share a recipe link or a short excerpt on social media with credit
• ✔️ Print recipes for personal use

You may not:

• ❌ Republish full recipes or articles without written permission
• ❌ Use our photos or content for commercial purposes (e.g., in your own cookbook, app, or paid newsletter)
• ❌ Scrape or reproduce substantial portions of the site

If you're unsure, just ask — we're reasonable people.

💬 comments & community

We welcome comments, questions, and recipe variations. However, we expect basic decency:

• Be respectful — no harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
• Don't post spam, self-promotion, or irrelevant links.
• Keep it legal — no illegal content or encouraging dangerous acts.

We reserve the right to remove any comments that violate these principles and block repeat offenders.

©️ intellectual property

Unless otherwise noted, all content (including text, graphics, logos, and overall design) is the property of Recepie Star and protected by copyright and other laws. The name "Recepie Star" and related logos are our trademarks — please don't use them without permission.

⚠️ no guarantees (the legal bit)

The Website and all content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee that recipes will turn out perfectly — ovens vary, ingredients differ, and sometimes things flop. That's cooking.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Recepie Star disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or any recipe.

🔗 links to other sites

We may link to external websites (e.g., ingredients, tools, or references). We are not responsible for their content or practices. Visiting those sites is at your own risk, and you should review their terms.

🛠️ changes to terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you via a notice on the website or by email (if you've subscribed). Your continued use after changes means you accept the new Terms.

📆 effective date: march 16, 2026

⚖️ governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the site will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Oregon.

🍳 informal resolution: Before filing any legal claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us. Most misunderstandings can be solved over a virtual cup of coffee.
