Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 28, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and TunedCook. TunedCook is operated by 1001701572 ONTARIO LTD. ("TunedCook," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the TunedCook mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the "App" or "Service"). Please read them carefully. They include a binding individual-arbitration agreement and a class-action waiver (Section 16) that apply only to the extent permitted by law — and that do not apply where prohibited by mandatory consumer-protection law, such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (see Section 16.7) — and important disclaimers and limitations of our liability (Sections 9, 13, and 14).

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not download, access, or use the App.

1. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the App. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction (typically 18), you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to purchase a subscription or make any other purchase. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate. The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit them to use it.

2. Your Account and Account Security

You can use TunedCook anonymously with limited features, or create an account via email/password, Sign in with Apple, or Sign in with Google.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. Do not share your password. You agree to notify us immediately at support@tunedcook.app of any suspected unauthorized access to or use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.

3. What TunedCook Does

TunedCook provides:

  • Recipe management — store, organize, and browse recipes.
  • Macro and protein scaling — scale recipes to match your personal protein and calorie targets.
  • Meal planning, family/household plans, and shopping lists — plan meals, share targets across a household, and generate ingredient lists.
  • Storage / leftover tracking — track what's stored and how long it keeps.
  • Recipe import — import recipes from a web link, screenshot, or pasted text.
  • AI-assisted meal logging — estimate calories and macros from a photo of your food or a typed description, so you can log what you actually ate.

Some features use artificial intelligence (currently powered by OpenAI) to parse and structure recipe content and to estimate macros from a photo or text description. AI-generated results are approximate. Macro calculations, ingredient quantities, allergen and dietary flags, and nutritional estimates may be inaccurate, incomplete, or wrong. They are not medical, dietary, or clinical advice — see Section 9. We may add, change, suspend, or remove features, in whole or in part, at any time and at our sole discretion.

4. Your Content

You retain ownership of the recipes, photos, text, and other content you create, upload, or import into TunedCook ("Your Content").

You grant TunedCook a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, and transmit Your Content solely as needed to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service — including transmitting recipe content, food photos, or typed food descriptions to third-party AI providers (currently OpenAI) for parsing and macro estimation, and creating backups. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from our live systems, except for residual copies in routine backups and to the extent you have shared content with others or we are required to retain it by law. We do not sell Your Content or your personal data.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to submit Your Content and to grant the license above, and that Your Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party or any law. You are solely responsible for Your Content, including ensuring you have the right to import and use any third-party material (for example, recipes sourced from the web belong to their original creators).

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to attempt to, or permit or encourage anyone else to:

  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract data from the App or its API outside normal in-app use.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the App's source code, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits and cannot be contractually waived.
  • Automate interactions with the App (bots, scripts, or other non-human access) without our prior written permission.
  • Resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or provide commercial access to the App or its data to third parties.
  • Use the App to store, upload, or distribute illegal, harmful, infringing, defamatory, or abusive content, or to harass, threaten, or harm any person.
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, degrade, or interfere with the App's infrastructure or security, or attempt to circumvent, disable, or defeat any usage limit, rate limit, feature gate, or security measure.
  • Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights.
  • Rely on AI-generated macro, nutrition, allergen, or recipe output as medical, dietary, or clinical advice (see Section 9).

6. Fair Use, Rate-Limiting, and Anti-Abuse

Some features of TunedCook — including AI-assisted recipe import and AI-assisted meal-photo/description macro logging — call paid, resource-intensive third-party AI services on your behalf, and are therefore subject to usage limits designed to keep the Service fair and sustainable for everyone (see also Section 7, "Subscriptions and Free Trial," for the specific caps that apply to each plan tier).

TunedCook may, at its sole discretion, rate-limit, throttle, temporarily restrict, suspend, or revoke access to AI-backed or other resource-intensive features — including your account entirely, in cases of serious or repeated abuse — for any user it reasonably believes is misusing, abusing, over-using, automating, or attempting to circumvent usage limits, without prior notice, in order to protect the integrity, availability, and cost-sustainability of the Service. Where practical, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you if such an action is taken against your account, but we are not obligated to provide advance notice, particularly where doing so could undermine the effectiveness of the action.

This section does not limit your rights under Section 11 ("Termination") or any non-waivable statutory rights you may have; it exists to let us act quickly to protect the Service for legitimate users.

7. Subscriptions and Free Trial

TunedCook offers a Free tier, a free trial, and a paid Premium subscription, as follows (features and pricing may change; the in-app paywall and App Store listing always control over this document if they differ):

  • Free — browse the recipe library with macros, use the auto shopping list, and generate your first full auto meal plan once per account. AI-assisted recipe import and AI meal-photo/description logging are available up to a limited total number of uses (the current limit is shown in the App) and are not available once that limit is reached without a Premium subscription.
  • Free trial — a limited-time trial (the length shown in the App at signup) that unlocks unlimited meal-plan generation/tuning, the rebalance feature, and multiple household profiles. The AI-import/AI-macro-logging usage limit above still applies during the trial — the trial does not lift that cap.
  • Premium — a paid, auto-renewing subscription (monthly or annual) that unlocks everything in the trial, plus unlimited AI-assisted recipe import and AI meal-photo/description logging.

Pricing. Subscription prices, billing periods, and any introductory or promotional offer are shown in the App and on the App Store listing, in your local currency, before you complete a purchase. Those screens are authoritative. We may change pricing at any time; we will give reasonable notice of material price increases as required by Apple's guidelines and applicable law, and any change will not affect a billing period you have already paid for.

Billing, trial conversion, renewal, and cancellation are all handled by Apple, through the App Store and StoreKit, under Apple's own terms:

  • The free trial requires a payment method on file and automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
  • Your subscription automatically renews for successive periods and your payment method is charged the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date.
  • Trial eligibility, exact trial length, subscription renewal, and cancellation are governed by Apple's policies. To cancel or manage your subscription, go to your device's Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
  • We do not process, see, or store your payment card details — Apple handles all billing.
  • Refunds are handled entirely according to Apple's refund policies; we cannot and do not issue refunds directly. Except where required by non-waivable law, all payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods.

We reserve the right to change which features are included in Free / Trial / Premium at any time, with reasonable notice for material reductions to a plan you are actively paying for.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, its software, source code, design, "look and feel," logos, trademarks, and all related intellectual property (excluding Your Content and third-party content) are owned by TunedCook and its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the App for your own personal, non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. You may not copy, modify, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works from, publicly display, or exploit any part of the App without our prior written permission.

Recipes and other material imported from third-party sources remain the intellectual property of their original creators; TunedCook claims no ownership over third-party content.

9. Health and Nutrition Disclaimer — Not Medical Advice

TunedCook is not a medical, healthcare, or professional nutrition provider, and nothing in the App is medical advice.

Macro calculations, protein scaling, calorie estimates, allergen and dietary flags, and any AI-estimated macros from a photo or description are provided for general informational and convenience purposes only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, nutritional or dietetic guidance, or a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional, and they may be inaccurate, incomplete, or based on an imperfect AI estimate of an image or description you provided.

  • The App does not diagnose, treat, cure, monitor, or prevent any disease or health condition.
  • AI-estimated macros and nutrition values are a best-effort approximation, not a lab-verified measurement.
  • Always consult a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other healthcare professional before starting, changing, or stopping any diet, exercise, or nutrition program, and especially if you have a medical condition, food allergy, eating disorder, or are pregnant or nursing.

You are solely responsible for your own dietary, nutritional, and health decisions, including all decisions relating to allergens. The App's allergen and dietary filtering is a convenience based on data you supply and ingredient data we maintain; it is not a guarantee of safety. Always independently verify ingredients against your own allergies, intolerances, and medical restrictions before purchasing or consuming any food. You use the App's nutritional features entirely at your own risk.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App and all content and features are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TunedCook and its owners, licensors, and service providers disclaim all warranties, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that: the App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; defects will be corrected; the App is free of viruses or harmful components; or that any results, AI output, macro estimates, recipe parsing, allergen flags, or other content will be accurate, reliable, complete, or meet your requirements. Any material obtained through the App is used at your own discretion and risk, and you are solely responsible for any resulting loss or damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

11. Termination

By you: You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time from within the App. Deleting your account permanently removes your data from our live systems as described in the Privacy Policy. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an active Apple subscription — cancel separately via Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions to stop future billing.

By us: We may suspend, restrict, limit, or terminate your account or access to the App (or any feature), in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice, and at our sole discretion — including if you violate these Terms (such as Sections 5 and 6), if we reasonably suspect fraud, abuse, or unlawful conduct, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19) survive.

12. Third-Party Services and Apple

The App relies on third-party services (including Apple, Google, Amazon Web Services, and OpenAI) as described in our Privacy Policy. Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for third-party services or content.

Apple-required terms. These Terms are between you and TunedCook only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"), and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility; in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any), and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. We (not Apple) are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the App, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, and intellectual-property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting," and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • In no event will TunedCook or its owners, employees, licensors, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, or for any personal injury or health, dietary, medical, or allergen-related outcome, arising out of or relating to the App, your reliance on any AI-estimated macros, recipe content, allergen or dietary flags, or other information, or these Terms — whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
  • Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms will not exceed the total amount you actually paid to TunedCook (through Apple) in the one (1) month immediately before the event giving rise to the claim — which may be zero if you use only free features — except where, and only to the extent that, such a limitation is prohibited by applicable law (including any minimum remedy that mandatory consumer-protection law, such as the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002, requires).

These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you; in such cases our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (such as, in some jurisdictions, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud).

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TunedCook, its owners, employees, licensors, and service providers from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with us.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date above and provide reasonable notice through the App or by email. Changes are effective when posted (or on a later stated date). Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the App.

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class-Action Waiver

Please read this Section carefully — it affects your legal rights, including your right to go to court and to have disputes heard by a jury or as part of a class.

16.1 Informal resolution first

Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to first contact us at support@tunedcook.app and give us at least 30 days to resolve the dispute informally and in good faith.

16.2 Binding arbitration

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the consumer-law carve-out in Section 16.7, except for the excluded claims in Section 16.5, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms (including their breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity) that is not resolved informally will be finally resolved by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitration will be administered by a recognized, neutral arbitral institution under its applicable consumer or expedited rules, before a single arbitrator, and may proceed on the papers, by video, or in a mutually convenient location. The arbitrator's award is final and binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

16.3 Class-action and jury waiver

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the consumer-law carve-out in Section 16.7, you and TunedCook agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. You and TunedCook waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in a class or representative action.

16.4 30-day opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration and class-waiver agreement (Sections 16.2–16.3) by sending written notice to support@tunedcook.app with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," including your account email, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms, and disputes will instead be resolved in the courts identified in Section 17. If you do not opt out within 30 days, you are bound by this Section.

16.5 Excluded claims

Nothing in this Section prevents either party from (a) bringing an individual claim in a small-claims court if it qualifies, or (b) seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or account/security violations. Nothing in this Section waives any non-waivable statutory or consumer-protection right you may have under the laws of your place of residence.

16.6 Severability

If any part of Sections 16.2–16.3 (including the arbitration agreement or the class-action waiver) is found void, prohibited, or unenforceable as to a particular claim or person — whether under Section 16.7 or otherwise — that part is severed and the affected claim will be heard in the courts identified in Section 17, while the remainder of these Terms (including the informal-resolution step, the disclaimers, and the limitations of liability) stays in full force and effect.

16.7 Consumer-law carve-out (Ontario and elsewhere)

The binding-arbitration agreement (Section 16.2) and the class-action and jury waiver (Section 16.3) apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law, and do NOT apply to you where they are prohibited or rendered unenforceable by mandatory consumer-protection law. In particular, for consumers resident in Ontario, Canada, the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002 preserves your right to commence or join an action in the courts (including a class proceeding) and provides that any such right is not waived by an agreement to arbitrate — so Sections 16.2 and 16.3 do not prevent an Ontario consumer from going to court or joining a class action. Where Section 16.2 or 16.3 does not apply to you, your dispute will instead be resolved in the courts identified in Section 17, and the rest of these Terms remains in full force and effect. Nothing in this Section 16 waives or limits any non-waivable statutory or consumer-protection right you have under the law of your place of residence.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the App are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to their conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Subject to the arbitration agreement in Section 16 (and the consumer-law carve-out in Section 16.7), you and TunedCook submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, Canada for any dispute not subject to arbitration, and waive any objection to venue or forum in those courts. This choice of law and venue does not deprive you of the protection of any non-waivable consumer-protection laws of your place of residence.

19. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and TunedCook regarding the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or understandings on that subject.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or, if it cannot be, severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. A waiver is effective only if in writing and signed by us.
  • Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, third-party service outages (including Apple, AWS, or OpenAI), or governmental actions.
  • Relationship. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created by these Terms.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
