Terms of Service
Last updated: April 8, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Heirloom Recipe Box (“Heirloom,” “we,” “us”). By downloading, accessing, or using Heirloom, you agree to these Terms.
1) The Service
Heirloom is a recipe box app that helps you save, organize, and share recipes privately. Some features are free; others require a paid subscription or add-on, as shown in-app.
2) Accounts
You may need to create an account to use certain features. You’re responsible for:
- keeping your login credentials secure
- maintaining accurate account information
- all activity that occurs under your account
Anonymous Sessions
You may use Heirloom without creating an account. In this case, an anonymous session is created automatically. Anonymous sessions provide access to core features (creating and viewing recipes, URL import) but do not support social features (recipe and cookbook sharing) or cloud sync. Anonymous sessions may be automatically terminated after 35 days of inactivity.
3) Your Content & Permissions
You retain ownership of the recipes, text, photos, and other content you upload or create in Heirloom (“User Content”).
By using Heirloom, you grant us a limited license to host, store, process, and display your User Content only to:
- operate and provide the service (e.g., show your recipes to you, sync them, and share them when you choose)
- troubleshoot issues, prevent abuse, and improve product quality
4) Sharing & Publishing Rules (Important)
Heirloom is private by default. You control what you share.
A) Peer-to-peer sharing
You may share recipes directly with specific people you connect with in Heirloom.
B) No public feed
Heirloom does not offer a public recipe feed or open community browsing. Recipes you share stay within private flows (direct shares to specific people you choose), unless we introduce a different feature and you opt in with clear consent in-app.
5) Prohibited Content and Conduct
You agree not to:
- upload or share content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit
- impersonate others or misrepresent authorship of recipes you share
- upload malware, attempt to access accounts without permission, or interfere with the service
- use the service to infringe intellectual property rights
We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.
6) AI Features & Processing
Some features use AI to help you extract, parse, or generate recipes. When you use these features, content you provide may be processed by third-party providers (see the Privacy Policy). You are responsible for reviewing and verifying generated content before relying on it (e.g., allergens, food safety).
7) Subscriptions and purchases (Auto-Renewing)
Heirloom may offer subscriptions (for example, monthly, annual, or lifetime), optional add-ons, and a free tier. What is included in each tier is presented in-app and may change from time to time.
Billing & Renewal (Apple App Store): Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings.
Trials (where offered) start when you begin the subscription flow.
8) First Table Program
Heirloom may offer a loyalty program ("First Table") where eligible users earn free subscription time by completing in-app feature challenges. Rewards are delivered as App Store offer codes, subject to Apple's terms. Feedback submission within First Table is voluntary. By submitting feedback, you grant Heirloom a non-exclusive license to use your comments to improve the service. Heirloom reserves the right to modify or discontinue the First Table program at any time.
9) Termination
You can stop using Heirloom at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, create risk for other users, or misuse the service.
Anonymous sessions are automatically terminated after 35 days of inactivity. Associated data is permanently deleted.
10) Disclaimers
Heirloom is provided “as is” and “as available.” We don’t guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Recipe content (including AI outputs) may contain mistakes—please verify ingredients, instructions, cook times, and allergens.
11) Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Heirloom and its affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or revenues.
12) Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date and may provide additional notice.
