Grillbook Terms of Use

This is an agreement between you and the owner of Grillbook — Shynggys Sakypkerey (an individual), Republic of Kazakhstan ("we").

1. What Grillbook is

Grillbook is a free iPhone app with step-by-step recipes for grills, barbecues, smokers and stoves: timers, prep, voice commands, and saved recipes and cooks on all your phones.

2. How you accept these terms

By tapping "Continue with Apple" or "Continue with Google", you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't sign in.

3. Your account

• You sign in with Apple or Google. You don't need a Grillbook password.
• Keep your phone and your Apple or Google account secure: anything done from your account is treated as done by you.
• Your name, username and photo must not be offensive, break the law or other people's rights, or impersonate someone else. If they do, we may replace them.
• You can delete your account at any time: Profile → Settings → Delete Account.

4. Age

You must be at least 16 years old to use Grillbook. If you are under 18, use the app with the consent of a parent or guardian.

5. Cooking safety

Cooking over fire involves risk. Grillbook recipes are guidance, not a guarantee.

• Never leave fire, charcoal or a stove unattended. Timers and notifications may fail: the battery dies, the sound is off, Do Not Disturb is on.
• Never light or cook on charcoal indoors, in a tent or in a garage — carbon monoxide can kill.
• Times and temperatures in recipes are estimates. Meat, grills and weather vary. Check doneness with a thermometer.
• Cook chicken, other poultry and ground meat until fully done. Rare and medium-rare meat is not recommended for children, people who are pregnant, older people and people with weakened immunity.
• Check ingredients for allergens. We don't know about your allergies and don't take them into account.
• Follow fire safety rules and local bans on open fire.

6. What you may and may not do

You may use the app for yourself, your family and friends.

You may not:

• copy recipes, photos and videos from the app in bulk, sell them or pass them off as your own;
• scrape our server, hack the app or the server, or disrupt them;
• upload other people's photos without permission or photos that break the law;
• use the app for anything illegal.

7. Who owns what

• Grillbook's recipes, texts, photos, videos, design and code belong to us or to authors who licensed them to us. Some photos come from Unsplash and Pexels under their licenses.
• Your profile photo and your data remain yours. You allow us to store them and show them to you in the app — only to make the app work. This permission ends when you delete the photo or your account.

8. Free of charge

Grillbook is currently free, with no purchases or subscriptions. If we add paid features, we will describe their terms in advance and will never charge you without your explicit consent.

9. How the service works

• We keep developing the app: we may add, change and remove features and recipes.
• The server may be temporarily unavailable. Saved recipes open without internet.
• The app is provided "as is". We try to keep it free of bugs but can't guarantee that.

10. Liability

• We are not liable for harm from cooking, fire, tools or food unless it is caused by our intent or gross negligence.
• We are not liable for outages of Apple, Google, our hosting provider or the internet.
• These limits apply only as far as the law allows. Consumer rights that the law doesn't allow us to limit remain yours.

11. Termination

• You may delete your account and stop using the app at any time.
• We may suspend or delete an account for serious or repeated breaches of these terms. Where possible, we will warn you first.
• If we decide to shut Grillbook down, we will tell you in the app at least 30 days in advance.

12. App Store and Apple

• This agreement is between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
• Your license to the app from the App Store is governed by the Apple Standard License Agreement. These terms supplement it.
• We, not Apple, provide support for the app. Email support@grillbook.app.
• We, not Apple, handle any claims about the app — including claims about legal compliance, consumer protection or third-party rights.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
• You confirm that you are not located in a country under a US embargo and are not on any US sanctions list.

13. Governing law and disputes

• These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
• We first try to settle disputes by email: write to support@grillbook.app. If we can't agree, the dispute goes to the competent court of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the owner's place of residence.
• If you live in the EU or another country whose law lets consumers sue at home and gives them extra protection, you keep those rights.

14. Changes to these terms

If these terms change, we will update the date at the top and let you know in the app. For material changes, we will ask you to accept them again. If you don't agree, delete your account.
