These terms are an agreement between you and us. By creating an account or using the service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. Who may use it

You must be at least 13 years old to have an account, and old enough to form a binding contract where you live (or have your parent's or guardian's permission). Children use the service only as family members created and managed by a parent or guardian; they do not have accounts. You are responsible for your account and for what happens under it. Keep your password private and tell us at once if you think someone else has used it.

2. What the service is — and what it is not

The service plans Mediterranean-style meals, checks recipes against the allergies, intolerances and preferences you enter, builds grocery lists and prep guides, and can add items to a grocery store's cart.

It is not medical or nutritional advice. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Talk to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing your diet for a medical reason, including allergies, diabetes, pregnancy, a ketogenic diet, or any condition mentioned in a health goal.

Always read the label. Allergy safety depends on the information you enter and on the products you buy. Manufacturers change ingredients and facilities. Before eating, check every product's label for allergens, including "may contain" statements. We check recipes against what you tell us; we cannot check what is in a package.

Nutrition figures come from public data (USDA FoodData Central) and are estimates for the ingredients as described, not for the product in your hand.

How long food keeps. The pantry's use-by dates come from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's FoodKeeper guidance and from the dates you enter. They are guidance for food stored properly, not a guarantee: check the label and the food itself, and when in doubt, throw it out.

3. Subscriptions, free trial, automatic renewal and cancellation

Plan. The Family plan covers one household — every family member and every device — for USD 5.99 per month or USD 49.99 per year, plus any sales tax that applies. Prices are shown before you pay and may change for new subscriptions; we will tell you before any change applies to yours.

Free trial. A new household may have one 14-day free trial with all features. No card is needed to start it. One trial per person (identified by their verified email address) and per household; trying to get more trials — for example with extra email addresses — is not allowed, and we may end trials and accounts that do.

Automatic renewal. A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period and your payment method is charged the then-current price until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in the app (Settings → Subscription → Manage), in two clicks; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for, and you are not charged again.

Refunds. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise or where we decide to refund. If something went wrong, write to us — we want you to be treated fairly.

Payments are processed by Stripe (and, in the Android app, by Google Play). We never see or store your full card number.

After a trial or subscription ends, your household keeps read-only access to its information and can export it; we do not hold your data hostage.

Helping Hand. If your family cannot afford the plan, write to us. We may grant a free or reduced plan at our discretion and review it yearly.

4. Ownership — our work is ours

The service and everything in it — software, source code, the planning engine, recipes we wrote, the catalog, data, designs, text, graphics, names and logos — are owned by Daniel Anthony Bissey (FatStinkyPanda), are operated by Astris Project LLC with the owner's authority, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. All rights are reserved. We give you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the service for your own household while you follow these terms. You get no other right in it.

You must not, and must not help anyone else to:

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, you agree that we may use them freely without paying you or owing you anything, and that they do not make you an owner of any part of the service.

5. Your content

You keep ownership of what you put in — your family's details, your own recipes, your photos, your comments. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process and display it to run the service for you and the people you choose to share it with. If you mark a recipe public, or tick "allow this image to be used by the app for all users to see", you also give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable license to use, display, adapt and distribute it within the service and its promotion. You promise you have the right to give these licenses and that your content is lawful. We may review, refuse or remove content, and nothing public appears until a moderator approves it where the app says so.

6. Store connections

If you connect a grocery store account (for example a Kroger-family store), you tell the store to let us add items to your cart. Your use of the store is governed by the store's own terms. We are not responsible for a store's prices, stock, substitutions, product information, pickup or delivery.

7. Suspension and ending

You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we must by law, or to protect the service or other people. If we end the service entirely, we will give reasonable notice where we can and let you export your data.

8. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its information (including allergy and nutrition information) is complete or correct for your needs.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, arising from or related to the service. Our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 50. Some places do not allow these limits; where they do not, they apply to the fullest extent allowed.

10. Indemnity

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, losses and costs (including reasonable lawyers' fees) arising from your content, your breach of these terms, or your misuse of the service.

11. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before any formal claim, you agree to contact us and try to resolve it informally for at least 30 days. Any dispute not resolved informally will be decided exclusively by the state or federal courts located in Colorado, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction — except that either side may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court, and we may seek an injunction anywhere to protect our intellectual property.

12. Changes

We may change these terms. For a material change we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and ask you to agree again at your next sign-in. The version and effective date are at the top.

13. General

These terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the service. If a part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term is not a waiver. You may not transfer these terms; we may transfer them with the service. Headings are for convenience only.
