Terms of Service
Effective Date: September 26, 2025
Welcome to Kiera’s Recipes! By using our website, you’re agreeing to follow our kitchen guidelines – think of them as the essential cooking etiquette that keeps our culinary community thriving. After all, every great kitchen needs some basic rules!
1. Our Kitchen Guidelines
Acceptance: By browsing, commenting, or subscribing to Kiera’s Recipes, you’re agreeing to these terms. If you don’t agree, we understand – but we’d love to have you back anytime you change your mind!
Updates to Terms: We may occasionally update these terms, just like we perfect our favorite recipes over time. We’ll post any changes here with a new effective date – so check back regularly, like peeking at bread rising in the oven.
Age Requirements: You must be at least 13 years old to use our site. If you’re under 18, please have a parent or guardian review these terms with you first.
2. Your Culinary Contributions (User Content)
What You Share: Comments, recipe reviews, photos, cooking tips, and any other content you post remain yours – we’re simply honored to feature them in our community cookbook.
Community Standards: Keep it warm and welcoming! No inappropriate content, spam, or anything that would make your favorite aunt uncomfortable. We reserve the right to remove content that doesn’t align with our kitchen values.
Permission to Feature: By posting content, you give us permission to display, share, and showcase it on our site – consider it your contribution to our growing recipe community.
Your Responsibility: You’re responsible for what you share. Please ensure you have the right to post any recipes, photos, or content you upload.
3. Kiera’s Original Creations (Intellectual Property)
Our Content: All original recipes, articles, photography, and design elements on Kiera’s Recipes are our intellectual property – treasured and protected like grandmother’s secret recipe collection.
Personal Use: Feel free to use our recipes for personal cooking adventures, but please give us credit when sharing with friends and family. Commercial use requires our written permission.
Brand Protection: “Kiera’s Recipes” and our logo are our trademarks. Please don’t use them without permission – we guard our brand as carefully as we do our sourdough starter.
4. Cooking Safety & Disclaimers
Recipe Results: While we thoroughly test our recipes, cooking is both art and science – results may vary based on your ingredients, equipment, and personal technique. We can’t guarantee your cake will be Instagram-perfect every time!
Dietary Information: Nutritional information and dietary labels are estimates provided for convenience. Always verify ingredients if you have allergies or specific dietary needs – your health and safety come first in our kitchen.
External Links: We may link to other fantastic food websites, but we’re not responsible for their content. Always use your best judgment when exploring other culinary resources.
Kitchen Equipment: Use all kitchen tools and appliances safely and at your own discretion. We trust you know the basics – like keeping metal out of the microwave!
5. When Things Don’t Go as Planned (Limitation of Liability)
Site Availability: We work hard to keep our site running smoothly, but sometimes technical maintenance is needed. We can’t promise 100% uptime – even the best ovens need occasional servicing.
Liability Limits: Our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. We’re not responsible for issues beyond our reasonable control – think of it like weather affecting your outdoor barbecue plans.
No Guarantees: Our site is provided “as is” – like a potluck contribution, we hope you’ll love it, but we can’t make absolute promises about your experience.
6. Leaving Our Kitchen Community
Account Termination: We reserve the right to remove access for users who consistently violate our community guidelines – sometimes maintaining a positive environment requires difficult decisions.
After Termination: If access is terminated, your right to use the site ends immediately, though these terms continue to apply to any previous interactions.
7. Resolving Disagreements (Legal Matters)
Governing Law: These terms follow the laws of [Your State/Country] – like adhering to local food safety regulations.
Dispute Resolution: We prefer friendly conversation to resolve any issues, but if formal resolution is needed, disputes will be handled through binding arbitration.
Term Validity: If any part of these terms is deemed invalid, the remaining terms stay in effect – like removing one ingredient doesn’t ruin the entire recipe.
8. Accessibility for All Cooks
We’re committed to making our site accessible to all food enthusiasts. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please reach out – we want everyone to enjoy cooking with us.
