If you use Google or Apple Sign-in, these services may provide us with certain information (like your email address) according to their respective privacy policies and your settings with those services. Please review Clerk's, Google's, and Apple's privacy policies for more information.

• Accuracy: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

4. Use of the Service

5. AI-Generated Content (Recipes)

• Nature of AI Content: You acknowledge that the recipes provided by the Service ("AI Content") are generated by an artificial intelligence (Google Gemini). While we strive for usefulness, AI Content may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or may not be suitable for all dietary needs, skill levels, or available ingredients. AI is a developing technology and its output may be unpredictable or flawed.

You use all AI Content entirely at your own risk. Reciepie disclaims all liability for any adverse outcomes resulting from the use of AI Content, including but not limited to cooking failures, allergic reactions, injuries, or any issues arising from the commercial use, distribution, or sale of products based on the AI Content.

6. Payments, Subscriptions, Cancellations, and Refunds

Details of current Paid Features and their associated fees will be available on the Website. The currency displayed and charged may depend on your location or the settings provided by our payment processor.
• Payment Processing: We use Creem.io (https://creem.io) as our third-party payment processor. By choosing to purchase Paid Features, you agree to provide Creem.io with accurate and current payment information and authorize them to charge your chosen payment method for the applicable fees in the displayed currency. Your use of Creem.io is subject to their terms and conditions and privacy policy. We do not store your full credit card or sensitive payment details on our servers.
• Fees: Fees for Paid Features are listed on the Website and are payable in advance. The final amount charged may be subject to currency conversion rates or fees applied by your bank or payment provider. Fees are subject to change upon reasonable notice from us (e.g., via email or a notice on the Website).
• Subscriptions and Automatic Renewal: If Paid Features are offered on a subscription basis (e.g., monthly or annually), your subscription will automatically renew for successive periods of the same duration unless cancelled by you prior to the renewal date.
