The App is operated by mise.en.place, a sole trader business based in Victoria, Australia ("we", "us", or "our"). You can contact us at support@yourmiseenplace.app or legal@yourmiseenplace.app.

By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from someone under 16, we will delete that information promptly.

2. Your account

You grant us a licence to operate the Service. By posting Your Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), create derivative works of (for example, thumbnails), distribute, and display Your Content for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving the App. This licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except where we are required to retain it by law or where it has been shared with others who have not deleted it.

You are responsible for Your Content. You represent and warrant that, for every recipe, photo, post, comment, and other piece of content you post on the App:

You own Your Content, or you have all necessary rights, licences, consents, and permissions to post it on the App

You did not copy, screenshot, or download photos from Google, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, restaurant websites, food brand websites, cookbooks, or any other source where you do not own the rights
Any person who appears in or is identifiable in your photos has consented to appearing in your post, and where that person is under 16 you have the consent of their parent or legal guardian
Your Content does not include third-party trademarks, logos, branding, or packaging in a way that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation
Your Content does not infringe anyone else's intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights
Your Content does not defame, disparage, or make false statements about any person, restaurant, brand, or organisation

We commit to reviewing every report within 24 hours.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without notice, to:

Remove any content that violates these Terms or that we otherwise find objectionable
Suspend, restrict, or permanently ban any user who violates these Terms
Cooperate with law enforcement where required by law

We are not obligated to monitor content but may do so. Our failure to act on a violation does not waive our right to act on it later.

Their content will be hidden from your feed, search, and profile views
They cannot comment on or react to your posts
Your content will be hidden from them

You can manage your blocked users at any time in Settings.

7. No endorsement; we are not responsible for user content

The App is a platform that allows users to share recipes, photos, and other content. We do not, and cannot, review every piece of content before it is posted.

You acknowledge and agree that:

Any content you see on the App is the responsibility of the user who posted it, not us
We do not endorse, sponsor, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, safety, legality, or quality of any user content, including recipes, ingredient lists, allergen tags, dietary labels (such as "vegan", "gluten-free", or "nut-free"), nutritional claims, cooking instructions, or photographs
You use any information you find on the App at your own risk
We are not liable for any loss, damage, illness, injury, allergic reaction, food poisoning, intellectual property dispute, or other harm resulting from your reliance on user content
If a user posts content that infringes your rights, is offensive, illegal, dangerous, or otherwise inappropriate, your remedy is to report it using the in-app reporting tools described in Section 5, and (where applicable) to pursue your own legal remedies against the user who posted it

We have the right but not the obligation to remove user content or to take action against users who post it. The presence of content on the App does not mean we have reviewed, approved, or endorsed it.

8. Health, allergens, and food safety

The App is not a source of medical, nutritional, dietary, or food safety advice.

Recipes and other content on the App are shared by users for general informational and inspirational purposes only. You must use your own judgement when preparing or consuming any food described on the App.

You specifically acknowledge and agree:

Allergens. Ingredient lists, allergen warnings, and dietary tags (such as "vegan", "gluten-free", "dairy-free", or "nut-free") posted on the App are provided by users and may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date. If you have a food allergy or intolerance, you must independently verify every ingredient before consuming any recipe. We are not liable for any allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, illness, hospitalisation, or other harm resulting from inaccurate, incomplete, or missing allergen information on the App.
Food safety. Cooking times, temperatures, ingredient quantities, food handling instructions, and storage advice posted by users may not reflect best practice or food safety standards in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for cooking and handling food safely, including with respect to raw meat, eggs, dairy, seafood, and fermented foods.
Dietary needs. If you have specific medical, dietary, or nutritional requirements — including but not limited to diabetes, coeliac disease, kidney disease, eating disorders, or any other condition — you must consult a qualified health professional. Do not rely on the App for medical guidance.
Special populations. Some recipes may not be safe for pregnant or breastfeeding people, infants, young children, elderly people, immunocompromised individuals, or people with specific medical conditions. Use your own judgement and consult a qualified health professional.

By using the App, you agree that we are not liable for any harm — including illness, allergic reaction, injury, hospitalisation, or worse — arising from your reliance on user content or from the preparation or consumption of any food described on the App.

9. Reporting intellectual property infringement

If you believe that content on the App infringes your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, please contact us at legal@yourmiseenplace.app with the following information:

A description of the work or right you claim has been infringed (for example, the original recipe, photo, or trademark)

A statement, made in good faith, that the use of the material is not authorised by the rights owner, its agent, or the law
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights owner or are authorised to act on their behalf
Your full name, postal address, phone number, and email address
Your physical or electronic signature

We will review valid notices and may remove infringing content, terminate repeat infringers' accounts, or take other action as appropriate. If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice with similar information to the same email address.

You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete account.

When you delete your account:

Your profile, recipes, posts, photos, comments, reactions, and preferences will be permanently deleted
Comments you left on other users' content may be retained but anonymised as "[deleted user]"
Anonymised analytics and audit records may be retained as permitted by applicable law
The process completes immediately or within 30 days at the latest

The App itself, including its design, code, branding, name, logo, and all content we create, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App without our written permission, except as expressly allowed by these Terms.

12. Third-party services

The App uses third-party services to operate, including:

Supabase (database, authentication, file storage) — processes your data on our behalf

Other infrastructure providers as listed in our Privacy Policy

We are not responsible for the practices of third parties who are not acting on our behalf.

13. Disclaimers

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
Any defects will be corrected
The App is free from viruses or other harmful components
Any user content or information you obtain through the App is accurate, complete, safe, or lawful

The App is not a source of medical, nutritional, or dietary advice. See Section 8 for further detail.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the App, including loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, or personal injury caused by user content
Our total liability for any claim arising out of these Terms or your use of the App is limited to AUD $100 or the amount you have paid us in the 12 months before the claim, whichever is greater

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of certain liabilities, so these limits may not apply to you in full.

15. Release

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release us from any claims, demands, losses, and damages of every kind arising out of or in any way connected with disputes between you and any other user of the App, including any third-party claims relating to user content. You agree that any such dispute is between you and the other user, and that you will not involve us in it.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us, our employees, contractors, and partners from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

Your Content, including any claim that Your Content infringes a third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
Any claim of illness, injury, allergic reaction, or other harm arising from another user's reliance on Your Content
Your use of the App
Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law
Your violation of any third party's rights

Existing features that you have been using for free will not retroactively become paid without notice

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any part of it at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the App or by email at least 7 days before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

20. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably believe that doing so is necessary to protect us, other users, or third parties.

You may stop using the App at any time. You can also delete your account as described in Section 10.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
