Terms of Use

Eligibility and accounts

You must be able to form a binding agreement under the law that applies to you. SociaCook does not currently offer public accounts. Administrative accounts are limited to authorized users, must be kept secure, and may not be shared or used to gain access beyond the permissions provided.

Permitted use

You may browse, print, and use recipes for personal, noncommercial cooking purposes. You may link to public SociaCook pages. You may not disrupt the service; bypass security or access controls; scrape or copy the site at unreasonable scale; introduce malicious code; impersonate another person; misuse contact channels; or reproduce, republish, sell, or commercially exploit SociaCook content except with permission or as allowed by law.

Cooking and food safety

Recipes and cooking information are provided for general informational purposes. Ingredients, equipment, ovens, altitude, timing, and technique vary, so your results may differ. You are responsible for checking doneness, using appropriate food-handling practices, following product instructions and public-health guidance, and deciding whether substitutions are suitable.

Review ingredient labels and preparation areas for allergens. Dietary labels and ingredient descriptions are not guarantees that a recipe is free from allergens or appropriate for a medical condition, religious practice, or particular diet. SociaCook does not provide medical, nutritional, dietary, or other professional advice. Consult a qualified professional when individual guidance is needed.

Content and intellectual property

The SociaCook name, branding, site design, text, photographs, graphics, software, and original recipe presentation are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Recipe ideas and basic ingredient facts may receive different legal treatment than original writing, photography, and presentation. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership or grants a trademark license.

Public user submissions are not currently accepted. If submission features are introduced, applicable submission terms will be presented before content is accepted.

Copyright concerns

If you believe material on SociaCook infringes your copyright or other rights, use the Contact page. Include the work you believe is protected, the SociaCook URL at issue, your contact information, and enough detail for us to understand the concern. Do not send information you are not authorized to provide.

Third-party links and commercial relationships

SociaCook may link to third-party websites for convenience. We do not control their content, availability, security, or policies. The public site does not currently display third-party advertising or affiliate links. Future commercial relationships will be disclosed where appropriate.

Service availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue features or access when reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, or operation of the service. We may suspend administrative access for misuse or security reasons.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SociaCook is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties that the service will always be available, error-free, or suitable for every purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SociaCook and those involved in operating it will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of data, profits, or opportunities, arising from use of the service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to be responsible for claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of SociaCook, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the service changes. Updated terms apply from the effective date shown above. Questions about these terms may be sent through the Contact page.
