Terms of Service

1.Your Content — Original Recipes

When you create a recipe on memenu, you own it. But how we can use it depends on whether it's public or private.

Public recipes (free and premium users)

When you make a recipe public, you're sharing it with the memenu community. Other users might add it to their meal plans, save it as a favorite, or share it with their groups. Because of this:

• You grant memenu a perpetual, worldwide license to display, share, and distribute your public recipe
• You can remove your name from a public recipe at any time (it becomes an "anonymous community recipe")
• You cannot fully delete a public recipe once others are using it — this would break their meal plans
• memenu may feature public recipes in marketing, newsletters, or social media

Private recipes (premium users only)

Private recipes are yours alone. You can edit, delete, or share them with specific groups at any time. memenu will not use private recipes for marketing or any purpose beyond providing the service to you.

The fine print

• Don't post recipes you don't have the right to share
• You're responsible for the accuracy of your recipes (ingredients, allergens, instructions)
• memenu can remove content that violates these terms

2.Saved Recipes from Other Websites

How saved recipes work

When you save a recipe from another website using our browser extension or URL import, memenu works like a smart bookmark:

• We store a link to the original source
• We extract a preview (ingredients, instructions, image) for your convenience
• The original website remains the source of truth
• We display attribution and link back to the source

Your responsibilities

• You're saving recipes for your personal use and organization
• The original recipe belongs to whoever created it — we're just helping you organize it
• If a source website requests removal of their content, we'll remove the cached preview but preserve your link to the original. Your meal plans won't break, but you'll view the recipe on the original site.

What we don't do

• We don't claim ownership of recipes from other sites
• We don't verify that external recipes are accurate or safe
• We can't guarantee external links will always work (websites change)

Important: Saved recipes follow the same safety disclaimers as all content on memenu. Always verify ingredients and instructions, especially for allergens.

3.Safety & Disclaimers

Please understand

• Recipes are provided by users or imported from external websites
• We don't verify nutritional information, calorie counts, or serving sizes
• We don't verify allergen information — a recipe labeled "nut-free" may contain nuts
• We don't verify cooking temperatures or food safety practices
• We don't verify that recipes are suitable for any dietary requirement

Your responsibility

• Always verify ingredients if you have allergies or dietary restrictions
• Use proper food safety practices (cooking temperatures, storage, hygiene)
• Exercise your own judgment before preparing any recipe
• Consult a healthcare professional for medical dietary advice
• Supervise children in the kitchen

memenu is not

We work hard to keep memenu running smoothly, but things can go wrong. Here's how we handle liability:

memenu is provided "as is"

• We don't guarantee the platform will always be available or error-free
• We don't guarantee recipes will be accurate, safe, or suitable for you
• We don't guarantee external links will always work

Our liability is limited

To the maximum extent permitted by Danish law, memenu's total liability to you is limited to the amount you've paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or €100, whichever is greater.

We're not liable for:

• Indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
• Lost profits, data, or opportunities
• Harm resulting from following any recipe on the platform
• Actions of other users
• Content from external websites

Your responsibility for your content

You're responsible for the content you post on memenu. If you knowingly post content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights, or violates these Terms, and this results in legal claims against memenu, you may be liable for damages to the extent permitted by Danish law.

8.Disputes & Governing Law

We hope you never have a dispute with memenu, but if you do:

Step 1: Talk to us first

Before taking legal action, please contact us at legal@memenu.io. We'll work with you to resolve the issue informally. Many problems can be solved with a conversation.

Timeframe: We ask that you give us 60 days to resolve the issue before pursuing legal action.

Step 2: If we can't resolve it

If informal resolution doesn't work, disputes will be handled in the courts of Denmark under Danish law.
