Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Julienned ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). The App is provided by Clicking Nook LLC ("we," "us," or "our").

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App. We may update these Terms from time to time — continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

2. Personal Use License

Julienned is a personal recipe management tool. Your use of the Service, including all recipe extraction, storage, and organization features, is licensed exclusively for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not:

Your recipe collection is personal and private. Each user's collection belongs to that user alone. Julienned does not function as a recipe-sharing platform, social network, or content distribution service.

3. Description of Service

Julienned is a recipe management application that allows you to:

Some features require a paid subscription. We may add, modify, or remove features at any time.

4. Account Registration

To use Julienned, you must create an account. You agree to:

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.

5. Subscriptions & Payments

Free Tier: Julienned offers a free tier with limited functionality. No payment is required for the free tier.

Premium Subscription: Premium features are available through a recurring subscription. Pricing and billing frequency are clearly displayed in the App before purchase. By subscribing, you acknowledge and agree that your subscription will automatically renew at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date.

Imports: An import is adding a recipe from a link, photo or pasted text. Free accounts include 3 imports. You can buy a pack of 25 imports in the App as a one-time purchase; it is not a subscription and does not renew. Bought imports do not expire and are used only after your free imports run out. They are kept on your Julienned account, not your Apple ID, so they come back when you sign in, but they are not restored by the App Store's Restore Purchases button. If you delete your account, any imports left are lost. Refunds for imports are handled by Apple under its terms, as described below.

Billing: Premium subscriptions and import packs are purchased in the App and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), using the payment method on your Apple ID or Google account. Purchases through the App Store are also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement; purchases through Google Play are also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

Automatic Renewal & Cancellation: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) at the then-current rate unless canceled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings (iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions) or in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). The App's Manage Subscription button takes you there. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you retain access to premium features until then. No partial refunds are issued for unused portions of a billing period.

Free Trials: If we offer a free trial, it will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends. You will receive a reminder before your trial converts to a paid subscription.

Refunds: Refunds are handled by the store you bought from: request one from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com or from Google Play in your order history. For help, contact support@clickingnook.com.

Price Changes: We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' advance notice. Price changes apply at your next renewal period after the notice period. You may cancel before the new price takes effect.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

7. Intellectual Property

Our IP: The App, including its design, code, features, branding, and documentation, is the property of Clicking Nook LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the App.

Your Content: You retain ownership of any recipes, notes, or other content you create or save in Julienned ("User Content"). By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display your User Content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

Personal Use Exports: Your recipe collection is stored for your personal use only. We do not share your recipes with other users of the Service. You may export individual recipes in formats designated by the App for your own personal use (such as generating a shopping list or printing a recipe for personal kitchen use). Such exports do not constitute authorization to republish or redistribute recipe content.

Anonymized Data: We may retain anonymized, aggregated recipe metadata (such as extraction patterns and popular recipe categories) for the purpose of improving the Service. This data cannot be linked back to your account.

Third-Party Recipe Content: Recipes extracted from third-party websites remain the intellectual property of their respective owners. Julienned provides extraction as a personal convenience tool. You are responsible for ensuring your use of extracted content complies with applicable copyright laws.

Third-Party Website Compliance: Recipes are extracted from publicly accessible third-party websites. These websites may have their own Terms of Service that restrict automated data collection. By using Julienned's extraction features, you acknowledge that:

Julienned extracts only factual recipe information (ingredients and instructions) and maintains attribution to original sources. We do not store, reproduce, or display copyrighted photographs, creative prose, or unique formatting from source websites.

8. Third-Party Services

Julienned integrates with third-party services to provide functionality. These services have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services. See our Privacy Policy for a list of third-party services we use.

Julienned uses YouTube API Services to import recipes from YouTube videos. By using Julienned, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.

9. AI-Powered Features

Julienned uses third-party AI services, named in our Privacy Policy, to extract and structure recipe data from URLs, photos, and text. The AI processes content you provide but does not generate recipes from scratch — it extracts data from your provided sources.

We do not warrant that AI extraction will be 100% accurate. Recipes may contain errors from the original source or from the extraction process. You should verify ingredients, quantities, and instructions before cooking, especially for allergens or dietary restrictions.

Recipe Content Processing: When you extract a recipe, Julienned may reformat the content for clarity and consistency. This processing includes standardizing ingredient formats, converting narrative instructions to step-by-step format, and removing non-cooking content such as personal stories, advertisements, and editorial commentary. The resulting extracted recipe contains the factual cooking information (ingredients, quantities, temperatures, times, and technique instructions) presented in a clean, standardized format.

This processing extracts factual information that is not protected by copyright law. Julienned does not reproduce or store the original author's creative literary expression, photographs, or unique formatting.

10. Food Safety & Allergen Disclaimer

JULIENNED IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR FOOD SAFETY JUDGMENT. All users must carefully review ingredient lists for potential allergens before preparation or consumption.

Recipes extracted from third-party sources may not include complete allergen information. Recipe processing (including reformatting and standardization) may alter the presentation of ingredients in ways that obscure allergen warnings present in the original source.

Julienned assumes no liability for allergic reactions, anaphylaxis, foodborne illness, or adverse health outcomes of any kind. Users with known food allergies or dietary restrictions must:

Nutritional information, when displayed, is algorithmically estimated and should not be used for medical dietary decisions.

11. DMCA Copyright Compliance

Clicking Nook LLC respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe content accessible through Julienned infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice to our designated DMCA agent:

Your notice must include: (1) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, (2) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information sufficient to locate it, (3) your contact information, (4) a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, (5) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf, and (6) your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and notify the affected user. Repeat infringers may have their accounts terminated.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Specifically, we do not warrant that:

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLICKING NOOK LLC SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR FIFTY DOLLARS ($50), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In such cases, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Clicking Nook LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically agree to indemnify us against any claims by third-party content owners arising from your use of recipes extracted through the Service, including claims related to copyright infringement, unauthorized use, or violation of the source website's terms of service.

15. Termination

You may delete your account at any time from within the App. Upon deletion, your personal data (profile, email, preferences) is permanently removed. Recipe content may be retained in anonymized form as described in our Privacy Policy. Active subscriptions are automatically canceled.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include violation of these Terms, extended inactivity, or discontinuation of the Service.

Upon termination:

16. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You agree to waive your right to a jury trial and to participate in class action lawsuits.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Clicking Nook LLC regarding your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements.
