Terms of Service

The short version

Cooking Rebel is a personal recipe library you can save into from your AI chat. By signing up you're agreeing to use it reasonably, not abuse it, and let us run the service. We don't sell your data. You own your recipes; you can export or delete them at any time.

1. The service

Cooking Rebel ("we", "us", "the service") is a recipe-saving service operated at cookingrebel.com. It lets you save, organize, edit, and share recipes — including via AI chat clients that connect to your library through MCP (Model Context Protocol).

2. Your account

You need an account to use most of the service. Account creation is currently free. You're responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials safe and for what happens under your account. Don't share your account with people pretending to be you. If you suspect unauthorized access, email support@cookingrebel.com.

Authentication is handled by Clerk, which has its own privacy practices we trust to be reasonable. Connecting an AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) issues an OAuth grant scoped to your recipe library — you can revoke it any time at /connect.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Upload recipes, photos, or notes that infringe someone else's intellectual property, or that contain unlawful, harassing, hateful, or abusive content.
• Use the service to scrape, mine, or impersonate other users.
• Try to reverse-engineer, attack, or interfere with the service or its infrastructure.
• Send automated traffic in volumes meant to overwhelm the service.
• Register OAuth clients pretending to be a service you don't operate.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.

4. Your content

You own the recipes, notes, and photos you upload. You grant us a limited license to store, process, transmit, and display your content as needed to operate the service for you (e.g., serving the recipe page back to your browser, sending it to an AI client you've authorized).

When you generate a public share link for a recipe, that link lets anyone with the URL view that recipe. You can rotate or revoke a share link any time from the recipe page.

5. Service availability

The service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We try to keep it up, but we don't guarantee uptime, that it will be error-free, or that any specific feature will continue to exist. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the service with reasonable notice when practical.

6. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Cooking Rebel and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any direct claim is limited to whatever you've paid us in the past 12 months — which, for free accounts, is $0.

7. Termination

You can delete your account any time at /account. We can terminate or suspend accounts that violate these terms or for other legitimate reasons. Account deletion permanently removes your recipes and personal data within 30 days, except where we're required to keep records by law.

8. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced by email or in-product notice at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date counts as acceptance.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of San Francisco County, California.
