Effective 25 April 2026

Terms

Short version. Dishdraft is an AI cooking tool, not medical advice. You need to be 16+ (13+ in the US) to use it. Paid plans auto-renew unless you cancel. EU/UK consumers keep their statutory rights. Recipes it generates are suggestions — always check allergens and talk to a doctor before making dietary changes.

1. Acceptance and who these terms bind

By creating an account, signing in, or using Dishdraft ("the Service"), you enter a binding agreement with Dishdraft ("we," "us") under these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you don't agree, don't use the Service. The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service in the EU, UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, or Norway, or at least 13 years old elsewhere. If you're between 13 and the local age of majority, you may only use the Service with a parent or legal guardian's consent and supervision; that parent/guardian is responsible for your activity.

Do not use Dishdraft if you are pregnant or nursing unless you've discussed the specific recipes with a qualified healthcare professional first. Dishdraft is not designed or tested for prenatal, perinatal, or pediatric nutrition.

2. Not medical advice

This is an AI cooking tool, not medical advice. Dishdraft does not provide medical advice, nutritional counselling, or professional health services. All calorie estimates, macros, nutritional insights, and recipe conversions are automated approximations and may be incomplete or inaccurate. The Service is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. You should consult licensed professionals for dietary or medical guidance. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number, or seek immediate medical attention.

Use of the Service does not create any doctor-patient, dietitian-client, or healthcare relationship between you and Dishdraft. You should talk to a physician or registered dietitian before beginning any diet, especially if you have a medical condition, are taking medication, are pregnant or nursing, are under 18, or are recovering from an eating disorder.

2.1 Diet-specific warnings

3. How the AI works — and its limits

Dishdraft uses third-party AI to read your imported recipes, rewrite them to your diet, and illustrate the result. The current pipeline is:

These are probabilistic systems. They can hallucinate quantities, miss ingredients, misread labels, or produce output that looks reasonable but isn't. The confidence and similarity scores are the AI's own estimate — they are not a medical or nutritional verification. Our second AI validation pass checks for cooking coherence, not medical safety.

Hero photos are AI-generated illustrations, not photographs of the actual cooked dish. Visual styling, plating, garnishes, and exact ingredient counts on the plate may differ from what you produce in your kitchen. Treat them as concept art, not a guarantee.

You must evaluate every output for accuracy and appropriateness, including using human judgment, before using or serving a recipe. Treat every macro as "estimated" even when the pill doesn't say so. Always verify ingredient labels against the original recipe and check for allergens before cooking — the AI can and does miss things.

Outputs are AI-generated. Under current US copyright guidance, purely AI-generated output is not subject to copyright; we grant you a worldwide, royalty-free licence to use the converted recipes in any non-commercial way, and we make no claim of ownership over them.

4. Your account, content, and conduct

You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, including content you upload. You agree not to:

We may rate-limit, suspend, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, disrupt other users, or expose us to legal risk. We may also refuse to generate outputs that appear to violate these Terms.

4.0.1 Reporting AI-generated content

If you encounter AI-generated content on Dishdraft (a converted recipe, hero photo, or community post) that is unsafe, harmful, dangerously inaccurate, infringes someone's rights, or otherwise violates these Terms, please email support@dishdraft.com with "Content Report" in the subject and the recipe URL or variant ID. We aim to respond within 72 hours and will remove or correct content that breaches these Terms.

4.1 Your content licence to us

You keep ownership of recipes and screenshots you upload. By using the Service you grant Dishdraft a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable licence to host, reproduce, display, transmit, modify, and process your content as needed to operate the Service, generate and store your conversions, and (for ratings, comments, and tags) publish them in the community feed. The licence continues for as long as we host the content; it ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to reasonable delays for backup rotation (up to 30 days).

4.2 Public feed

Anything you post publicly (ratings, comments, tags, cook-success flags) is visible to anyone. Don't post things you wouldn't want public. Your email is never displayed. You can delete individual ratings from your library at any time; deletion removes them from the public feed immediately.

5. Subscription, trial, and auto-renewal

IF YOU PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION, IT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED AT THE END OF THE BILLING PERIOD AT OUR THEN-CURRENT FEE UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE RENEWAL DATE.

Free tier. New accounts get one free diet conversion lifetime. After that you need a subscription.

Pro subscription. $3.99/week, $6.99/month, or $79.99/year, billed in advance via Stripe (web), Apple in-app purchase (iOS), or Google Play Billing (Android). Pro includes up to 50 saves per 30-day rolling window on monthly + yearly plans (15 saves per 7-day window on weekly plans), plus the public feed + community ratings. Subscriptions auto-renew at the same interval until cancelled; there is no free trial — the free conversion you receive on signup serves the same purpose.

Cancellation. The cancellation path depends on where you subscribed. Web subscribers cancel via Settings → Subscription → Cancel subscription, which opens the Stripe cancellation flow. iOS subscribers cancel via Settings → Manage subscription, which deep-links to Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions on your device — Apple, not Dishdraft, processes iOS cancellations. Android subscribers cancel via Settings → Manage subscription, which deep-links to Google Play → Account → Subscriptions — Google processes Android cancellations. In all three cases, cancellation is immediate; you keep access until the end of the current billing period, then drop to the free tier. Cancellation is as easy as signup — a single click from the main Settings screen.

Refunds. Outside the statutory rights in §5.1, subscription fees are non-refundable once charged. If you believe you were charged in error email support@dishdraft.com and we'll investigate in good faith.

5.1 EU / UK consumer rights

If you live in the EU, EEA, or UK, you have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal on distance contracts for digital services. Because Dishdraft is a digital service that begins performance the moment you start using it, you may waive the withdrawal right by checking the "I want the service to start immediately and I understand I lose my 14-day withdrawal right once cooking conversions begin" box on the paywall. If you don't waive it, you can withdraw within 14 days of starting the subscription and receive a pro-rata refund of any amounts paid. To withdraw, use the in-app cancellation flow (Settings → Subscription → Cancel subscription) or email privacy@dishdraft.com with "Withdrawal" in the subject line. Statutory rights under Directive 2011/83/EU and the UK Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 are preserved.

5.2 California cooling-off period

If you are a California resident and decide, before midnight of the third business day following your purchase, to cancel the contract and receive a refund, mail notice of cancellation to the contact address in §13.

5.3 Apple App Store and Google Play purchases

If you subscribe inside the iOS app, your contract for the subscription is between you and Apple Inc. under Apple's Standard EULA; Apple is the seller of record, processes payment, handles refunds under its refund policy, and manages renewals. If you subscribe inside the Android app, your contract is between you and Google LLC under Google Play's Terms of Service; Google is the seller of record. Dishdraft is the licensor of the software in both cases and is responsible for the Service itself, support, and any product warranties — but billing disputes for in-app purchases must be raised with Apple or Google. We do not have access to your payment method on file with Apple or Google. If you cancel an iOS or Android subscription and want to subscribe via the web instead, you can do so once the platform period ends; you cannot stack two subscriptions on the same account.

6. Intellectual property

The Dishdraft name, logo, look and feel, copy, branding, code, and database schema are owned by Dishdraft and its licensors. You may not copy, adapt, or redistribute them without our written permission.

6.1 DMCA / copyright takedowns

We respect copyright. If you believe content on Dishdraft infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to our designated agent:

Bredbu LLC, attn: DMCA Agent
Email: dmca@dishdraft.com
US Copyright Office registration number: DMCA-1071689
Public directory entry: dmca.copyright.gov

Your notice must include: a physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material and its URL; your contact information; a statement of good-faith belief the use is unauthorised; and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf. We will act on valid notices and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

6.2 EU / UK content notices

For notices under the Digital Services Act (Art 16) or the EU Digital Single Market Directive (Art 17), email dmca@dishdraft.com. We operate under the small-startup regime of DSM Art 17(6) but still act on valid notices and provide a counter-notification procedure.

7. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DISHDRAFT DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLETENESS, OR TIMELINESS OF ANY AI-GENERATED OUTPUT, MACRO ESTIMATE, OR CONFIDENCE SCORE. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO FOOD SAFETY, ALLERGENS, OR CONTRAINDICATIONS TO MEDICATIONS.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DISHDRAFT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID DISHDRAFT IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (US $100). DISHDRAFT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR PERSONAL INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH) ARISING FROM YOUR DIETARY CHOICES. MULTIPLE CLAIMS DO NOT EXPAND THIS LIMITATION.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for (i) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or (iii) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. If you are a consumer in the EU, UK, or other jurisdiction whose law grants you non-waivable rights, this §8 applies only to the extent permitted by that law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dishdraft and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) content you upload, (c) your use of AI output in ways that injure another person or property, or (d) your violation of applicable law.

10. Governing law + dispute resolution

10.1 US users — arbitration + class waiver

If you are a US user, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Wilmington, Delaware, with English as the language. You and Dishdraft waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in any class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. Small-claims-court claims, and requests for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, are carved out from this arbitration clause. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@dishdraft.com with "Arbitration opt-out" in the subject line.

10.2 EU / UK users

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, EEA, or UK, these Terms are governed by the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence, and disputes may be brought in the courts of your country of residence. The §10.1 arbitration and class-waiver provisions do not apply to you. EU consumers may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform.

11. AI Act transparency

Dishdraft uses generative AI to produce recipe conversions, nutritional estimates, and hero photos (via Google Vertex AI Imagen 4 Fast). Per EU AI Act Article 50 (effective 2026-08-02), we label AI-generated content in the interface ("AI-converted recipe — verify ingredients" byline on every recipe page, the "Estimated" macro pill, and the AI-generated hero photo disclosure in §3 above), and we inform you that you are interacting with an AI system. The Service is a minimal-risk AI system under the Act.

12. Termination

You can close your account at any time in Settings → Your data & account → Delete my account. Deletion cancels any live subscription and removes all your data within the technical limits described in the Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination for cause, §§2, 4.1, 5 (accrued fees), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 13 survive.

13. Contact + changes

Support: support@dishdraft.com.
Privacy and data-rights: privacy@dishdraft.com.
Copyright / DMCA: dmca@dishdraft.com.
Legal: legal@dishdraft.com.

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced by email to signed-in users at least 14 days before they take effect, and the effective date at the top will be updated. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the new Terms.
