End User License Agreement
This End User License Agreement governs your license to install and use The Recipe Society mobile application, published by Novelty Technologies, LLC.
Last updated: July 14, 2026
The Recipe Society mobile application (the "Licensed Application") is licensed, not sold, to you ("you" or "End User") by Novelty Technologies, LLC, located and registered at 11720 Amber Park Dr, Ste 160 PMB 1056, Alpharetta, Georgia 30009, United States ("Licensor," "we," "us," or "our"), for use only under the terms of this End User License Agreement (this "Agreement").
By downloading, installing, or using the Licensed Application from Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store (each a "Store," and Apple and Google each a "Store Operator"), you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the Licensed Application.
This Agreement is entered into between you and Novelty Technologies, LLC only. The Store Operators are not parties to this Agreement and are not bound by any of its provisions, including any obligations regarding warranty, maintenance, support, or liability for the Licensed Application. Novelty Technologies, LLC, not any Store Operator, is responsible for the Licensed Application and its content.
This Agreement supplements, and is incorporated into, our Terms of Service. Your use of the Services (as defined in the Terms of Service) is also governed by the Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, and our Disclaimer. If this Agreement conflicts with the Terms of Service, this Agreement controls with respect to the software license granted below, and the Terms of Service control with respect to everything else. This Agreement may not provide usage rules that conflict with the latest Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or Google Play Terms of Service (the "Usage Rules"), and to the extent of any such conflict for a Store purchase, the applicable Store Operator's terms govern that conflict.
1. The Application
The Licensed Application is nutrition-tracking and meal-planning software that lets users log meals and track nutrition information, create and share recipes, view nutrition analytics, receive AI-assisted nutrition guidance and meal recommendations, generate meal plans, scan food barcodes, maintain a health profile for personalized calculations, manage shopping lists, and participate in community features. It is designed for devices running Apple's iOS operating system or Google's Android operating system ("Devices").
Use of the Licensed Application requires an active paid subscription (optionally preceded by a free trial), as described in the "Subscriptions, Free Trial, and Billing" section of our Terms of Service.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Licensed Application. By using it, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older.
The Licensed Application is not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) or the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). If your interactions with the Licensed Application would be subject to such laws, you may not use it. You may not use the Licensed Application in a way that would violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
2. Scope of License
2.1 We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Licensed Application on Devices that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules, solely for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us and our licensors.
2.2 This license also governs any updates to the Licensed Application that replace, repair, or supplement the original Licensed Application, unless a separate license accompanies the update, in which case that license governs.
2.3 You may not share or make the Licensed Application available to third parties (except to the degree allowed by the Usage Rules and with our prior written consent), and you may not sell, rent, lend, lease, or otherwise redistribute the Licensed Application.
2.4 You may not reverse engineer, translate, disassemble, decompile, modify, combine, adapt, create derivative works of, or attempt to derive the source code of the Licensed Application or any part of it, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law or done with our prior written consent.
2.5 You may not copy the Licensed Application except as expressly authorized by this Agreement and the Usage Rules, and you may not alter it. You may create backup copies only on Devices you own or control. You may not remove any intellectual-property notices. If you sell or transfer a Device, you must remove the Licensed Application from it first.
2.6 Violations of the obligations in this section, and attempts at such violations, may be subject to prosecution and damages, and may result in termination of this license.
2.7 We may modify this Agreement from time to time. When we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Licensed Application or by other reasonable means, update the "Last updated" date, and, where required, ask you to accept the revised Agreement before continued use. Your continued use of the Licensed Application after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.
2.8 Nothing in this license should be interpreted to restrict third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms and conditions when using the Licensed Application.
3. Technical Requirements
3.1 The Licensed Application requires a compatible Device and operating-system version as described in the applicable Store listing. Certain features require a network connection, and some features depend on third-party services that may be unavailable from time to time.
3.2 We attempt to keep the Licensed Application updated to operate with current versions of the supported operating systems, but you are not granted any right to demand such updates.
3.3 It is your responsibility to confirm that your Device satisfies the technical requirements before downloading the Licensed Application.
3.4 We reserve the right to modify the technical requirements at any time.
4. Maintenance and Support
4.1 We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Licensed Application, to the extent required by applicable law or the Usage Rules. You can reach us at the contact information in the "Contact Information" section below or at the email address listed in the Store listing for the Licensed Application.
4.2 You and we acknowledge that the Store Operators have no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Licensed Application.
5. Use of Data
You acknowledge that we may access and adjust your downloaded Licensed Application content and your personal information, and that our use of such material and information is subject to your legal agreements with us and to our Privacy Policy, available at https://therecipesociety.com/privacy.
We may periodically collect and use technical data and related information — including technical information about your Device, system, application software, and peripherals — to facilitate product support, software updates, and other services related to the Licensed Application. We may use this information, in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve our products and services.
6. User-Generated Contributions
The Licensed Application may allow you to create, submit, post, display, transmit, publish, or distribute content and materials, including recipes, photos, comments, posts, messages, reviews, and profile information (collectively, "Contributions"). Contributions may be viewable by other users of the Services. Any Contribution you make available publicly may be treated as non-confidential.
Your Contributions are subject to the "User Content and Community" section of our Terms of Service and to our Acceptable Use Policy, both of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. When you create or make available any Contribution, you represent and warrant that:
- You are the creator and owner of your Contributions, or you have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, releases, and permissions to submit them and to authorize us and other users of the Services to use them as contemplated by the Services, the Terms of Service, and this Agreement.
- Your Contributions do not and will not infringe the intellectual-property rights — including copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights — or the privacy or publicity rights of any third party.
- You have the consent, release, and/or permission of each identifiable individual person in your Contributions to use their name or likeness.
- Your Contributions are not false, inaccurate, or misleading, and are not unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional material, spam, or any form of solicitation.
- Your Contributions comply with our Acceptable Use Policy (including its Community Guidelines) and all applicable laws and regulations, including laws protecting the health and well-being of minors.
Any use of the Licensed Application in violation of the foregoing may result in, among other things, suspension or termination of your rights to use the Licensed Application.
7. Contribution License
You retain ownership of your Contributions. By submitting Contributions, you grant us the license described in the "User Content and Community" section of our Terms of Service: a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), publish, and distribute your Contributions solely to operate, provide, and promote the Services. That license ends as described in the Terms of Service.
We are not liable for any statements or representations in your Contributions. You are solely responsible for your Contributions, and you agree to hold us harmless from claims arising out of them, as further described in the indemnification provisions of our Terms of Service.
We may, but have no obligation to, review, moderate, edit for formatting, restrict, remove, or refuse Contributions as described in the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy.
8. Health, AI, and Third-Party Data Disclaimers
8.1 Not medical advice. The Licensed Application provides general nutrition information and automated suggestions for informational purposes only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. You should consult a qualified healthcare provider before making dietary changes, especially if you have a medical condition, food allergies, an eating disorder, or take medications. Do not disregard professional medical advice based on information from the Licensed Application. The Licensed Application is not intended for use by individuals with a diagnosed or suspected eating disorder. We are not liable for health consequences resulting from reliance on information provided by the Licensed Application.
8.2 AI-generated content. The Licensed Application uses artificial intelligence for features such as nutrition analysis, meal-planning suggestions, and recipe recommendations. AI-generated content is produced automatically and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate despite our safety measures. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI-generated content and are not liable for decisions made based on it. AI outputs are not medical or professional advice.
8.3 Nutrition data. Nutrition information in the Licensed Application is sourced from third-party databases, user submissions, and automated estimation. We do not guarantee the accuracy of nutrition data and are not liable for errors in calorie counts, macronutrient values, ingredient lists, or allergen information. You should verify nutrition information — especially allergen information — on product packaging before consumption.
8.4 Third-party services. The Licensed Application integrates with third-party services, including fitness platforms, payment and subscription processing through the Stores, and cloud services. We are not liable for the unavailability or malfunction of, or any data loss caused by, third-party services.
8.5 Fitness data. If you connect your device's health platform (such as Apple Health or Health Connect), the Licensed Application may read health and fitness data you authorize — and, where you separately grant write authorization, may save data such as weight entries back to that platform — to provide personalized recommendations. We are not liable for inaccuracies in synced fitness data or for recommendations derived from it.
8.6 Barcode and photo recognition. The Licensed Application includes barcode scanning and photo-based food recognition. We do not guarantee the accuracy of information returned by these features. Verify nutrition and allergen information before consumption.
8.7 User recipes. Recipes and other content created and shared by users have not been reviewed, tested, or verified by us for nutritional accuracy, food safety, or allergen information. We are not liable for adverse effects resulting from preparing or consuming user-generated recipes. You are responsible for safe food handling, storage, and cooking.
Additional disclaimers appear in our Disclaimer and our Terms of Service.
9. Warranty
9.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LICENSED APPLICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THESE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU; IN THAT CASE, ANY STATUTORILY REQUIRED WARRANTY APPLIES FOR THE MINIMUM PERIOD REQUIRED BY LAW.
9.2 No warranty applies to the extent a problem results from the Licensed Application being modified without authorization, handled inappropriately, or combined or installed with hardware, software, or accessories that do not meet the technical requirements, whether by you or by third parties, or from other causes outside our reasonable control.
9.3 If you discover a defect, please notify us promptly using the contact information below so we can investigate.
9.4 Store refund. In the event of any failure of the Licensed Application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the applicable Store Operator, and the Store Operator will refund the purchase price (if any) for the Licensed Application to you in accordance with its policies. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Store Operator will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Licensed Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our responsibility as between us and the Store Operator.
10. Product Claims
You and we acknowledge that we, not the Store Operators, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Licensed Application or your possession and/or use of it, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Licensed Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the Licensed Application's use of Apple's HealthKit framework where you have enabled that integration.
11. Legal Compliance
You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
12. Contact Information

13. Termination
This license is effective until terminated by you or by us. Your rights under this license will terminate without notice from us if you fail to comply with any term of this license or of the Terms of Service. Upon termination, you must stop using the Licensed Application and delete the copies installed on your Devices. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as required by law or by the applicable Store Operator's policies, and does not waive any claims we have for prior breaches. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including the disclaimers, liability limitations, and dispute-resolution provisions incorporated from the Terms of Service — survive.
14. Third-Party Terms of Agreement and Beneficiary
We will comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when providing the Licensed Application.
In accordance with the "Instructions for Minimum Terms of Developer's End-User License Agreement," Apple and Apple's subsidiaries, and Google and Google's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, each of Apple and Google will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.
15. Intellectual Property Rights
The Licensed Application, including all software, text, graphics, logos, and designs we provide (excluding your Contributions), and all intellectual-property rights in it, are owned by us or our licensors. "The Recipe Society," "Novelty Technologies," and associated logos are our marks and may not be used without our prior written permission.
You and we acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the Licensed Application or your possession and use of the Licensed Application infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights, we, not the Store Operators, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
16. Liability; Dispute Resolution; Applicable Law
The "Limitation of Liability," "Indemnification," "Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver," and "Governing Law and Venue" sections of our Terms of Service apply to this Agreement and are incorporated by reference. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement is limited as set out in the Terms of Service.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. Nothing in this Agreement deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence that cannot be waived by agreement.
17. Miscellaneous
17.1 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions remain in effect.
17.2 Entire agreement; amendments. This Agreement, together with the Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy (including its Community Guidelines), and the Disclaimer, constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Licensed Application.
