2. Usage Rights

You may use the Site for lawful purposes only. The following are the specific rights granted to you:

• Access the public recipe database and search for recipes.
• Submit your own recipes, cooking tips, or related content (the “User Content”) provided you comply with the content guidelines.
• Download or print recipes for personal, non‑commercial use.

The Site reserves the right to remove or refuse to publish any content that violates these Terms or any applicable laws. We also reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Site at any time without prior notice.

3. Content License

By submitting User Content to the Site, you grant dishmealkitchen a worldwide, royalty‑free, non‑exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute the content in any medium or format. This license extends to any derivative works that may be created from your content.

You retain all ownership rights to your content, but by posting it on the Site you acknowledge that you have the right to grant this license and that the content does not infringe any third‑party rights. You also agree not to post content that is defamatory, obscene, or otherwise illegal.

4. Disclaimers

dishmealkitchen provides recipes, cooking tips, and nutritional information for educational and informational purposes only. The Site does not provide medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. You should consult a qualified professional before making any changes to your diet or cooking practices.

The Site’s content is provided “as is” without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non‑infringement. The Site does not guarantee that recipes will be safe, error‑free, or suitable for your needs. The Site is not responsible for any adverse outcomes arising from the use of its content.

Third‑party links or resources that may be available on the Site are provided for convenience only and are not monitored or endorsed by dishmealkitchen. The inclusion of any link does not imply any endorsement or approval of the linked content.

5. Liability Limitations

In no event shall dishmealkitchen, its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, or licensors be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, including but not limited to:

• Loss of data or information;
• Inaccurate or incomplete content;
• Inability to access the Site;
• Malicious software or viruses;
• Any damages or losses resulting from your reliance on any content or information provided on the Site.

These limitations of liability apply to the fullest extent permitted by law, even if any remedy has failed its essential purpose. The total liability of dishmealkitchen for any claim arising from these Terms shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) for access to the Site during the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

6. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site shall be resolved in the following manner:

1. Negotiation: Parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation.
2. Mediation: If negotiation fails, parties agree to submit the dispute to non‑binding mediation in the United States. The mediation will be conducted by a mutually agreed mediator, and the mediation costs will be shared equally.
3. Binding Arbitration: If mediation does not resolve the dispute, the parties agree to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will be conducted in a U.S. court location chosen by dishmealkitchen, and the decision will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis, not as a class action. Each party is responsible for its own costs associated with mediation or arbitration, unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.

7. Modifications to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on the Site and will become effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms. We encourage you to review the Terms periodically.
