Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

2. Your account

You need an account to use most of the Service. You’re responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Your account may work across our family of apps through a shared sign-in; the content you create in Rendered remains yours and is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Tell us promptly at support@renderedapp.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

3. Subscriptions & billing

Rendered offers a free tier and paid subscription tiers, along with optional one-time purchases. Paid features and their limits are described in the app at the point of purchase.

• Processed by the app stores. Purchases are made through and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their terms. We do not process your payment directly.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the current period.
• Managing & cancelling. You manage, cancel, or turn off auto-renewal through your Apple or Google account settings, not within Rendered.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google according to their policies. We generally cannot issue refunds directly for store purchases.
• Allowances. Some features include periodic usage allowances (such as a monthly number of AI builds). Unless stated otherwise, unused allowances do not roll over. Top-up purchases, where offered, are consumable and do not roll over.
• Price & tier changes. We may change prices and tier features going forward. We’ll give notice where required, and changes won’t affect a billing period you’ve already paid for.
• Downgrades. If you downgrade or your subscription lapses, you keep access to your data, but content beyond free-tier limits may become read-only and paid features stop accruing, as described in the app.

4. Your content

The recipes, cook logs, notes, photos, and other content you create or import (“Your Content”) belong to you. We don’t claim ownership of Your Content.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, display, and back up Your Content solely as needed to operate and provide the Service to you — for example, to store your recipes, parse pasted text, generate timelines, and render a recipe you choose to share. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content you’ve shared publicly that others have already saved, and for residual backups that are deleted in the ordinary course.

You’re responsible for Your Content and for having the rights to use and share it. The Service supports exporting your recipes and cook data so you’re never locked in.

5. Shared recipe links

If you create a shareable link for one of your recipes, you make that recipe publicly viewable by anyone with the link, and you allow others to import a copy into their own libraries. Once someone imports a copy, it becomes their own independent recipe. You can revoke a link at any time, which disables the public page, but it won’t retract copies already imported. Don’t create share links for content you don’t have the right to distribute, and don’t include unlawful, infringing, or abusive material. We may disable links that violate these Terms.

6. AI features

Some features use AI to parse pasted text or generate recipes and cooking guidance. AI output can be inaccurate or incomplete and is provided for your review — the app always shows you parsed or generated results before they’re saved, and you decide what to keep. You’re responsible for reviewing AI output before relying on it, especially anything affecting cooking times, temperatures, or food safety (see Food safety).

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Upload or share content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or abusive;
• Attempt to access accounts, data, or systems that aren’t yours;
• Reverse engineer, scrape, overload, disrupt, or circumvent any security or rate-limiting of the Service, except where the law permits it;
• Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service without our permission;
• Use the Service to build a competing product, or misuse our AI features to extract underlying models or prompts.

8. Food safety & no professional advice

Rendered helps you plan, scale, and log cooks, and it estimates timelines and surfaces decision points. These are estimates and informational tools, not guarantees. Cooking times, temperatures, and outcomes vary with your equipment, ingredients, and conditions. You are solely responsible for safe food handling, cooking food to safe internal temperatures, and your own results. Rendered does not provide medical, nutritional, or food-safety advice, and nothing in the Service is a substitute for your own judgment or guidance from a qualified professional. Always follow recognized food-safety practices.

9. Our intellectual property

The Service itself — including its software, design, branding, text, and the “Rendered” name and logo — is owned by Bald Dude Apps, LLC and its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose, subject to these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.

10. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties (such as the app stores, cloud providers, and AI providers) and may link to third-party sites or content. We’re not responsible for third-party services or content, and your use of them is governed by their own terms. Your purchases through the app stores are also subject to those stores’ terms.

11. Termination

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from within the app or by emailing support@renderedapp.com. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including content license terms for already-shared content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law — will survive.

12. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any estimate, timeline, or AI output will be accurate. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain disclaimers, so some of these may not apply to you.

13. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bald Dude Apps, LLC and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some jurisdictions don’t allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bald Dude Apps, LLC and its affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

15. Changes to the Service & Terms

We’re actively developing Rendered and may add, change, or remove features over time. We may also update these Terms. When we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute that isn’t subject to the app stores’ own dispute terms, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts.
