Terms of Service

Last updated: July 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Mealkit (the "App"), provided by the Mealkit team ("we," "us," "our"). By downloading, installing, or using Mealkit, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. What Mealkit Does

Mealkit helps you cook with what you already have. You tell the App what ingredients are in your kitchen — by typing them in or by scanning a receipt or barcode — and Mealkit generates recipe and meal ideas based on that list. Mealkit does not track nutrition, macros, or health data, and does not integrate with Apple Health or any HealthKit data.

2. Accounts Are Optional

You can use Mealkit's core features without ever creating an account. If you choose to, you can sign in with Apple to save your kitchen, recipes, and preferences across devices. Signing in is always optional and never required to use the App — we will never block core functionality behind a forced sign-in.

3. Subscriptions

Mealkit offers optional paid subscriptions, each with a 3-day free trial for new subscribers (one free trial per subscriber across both plans):

• Mealkit Yearly — $49.99/year, with a 3-day free trial.
• Mealkit Weekly — $4.99/week, with a 3-day free trial.

Subscriptions are billed through your Apple ID / App Store account and follow standard Apple App Store subscription terms:

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• If you do not cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the 3-day free trial, your subscription will automatically renew and you will be charged the plan's listed price for the next period.
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off 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, at the price you agreed to.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your device's Settings app under your Apple ID, then Subscriptions.
• No refund will be issued for the unused portion of a subscription period if you cancel partway through, except as required by Apple's or applicable law's refund policies.
• After the free trial or an active subscription period ends without renewal, subscription-gated features become unavailable; there is no free/limited tier of the paid features.

4. Your Content

When you type in ingredients or scan a receipt or barcode, that information is sent to our service providers (including a third-party AI/LLM provider) solely to generate recipe suggestions or extract ingredient text for you. See our Privacy Policy for details on what is and is not stored.

You retain ownership of any ingredient lists, saved recipes, or preferences you create in the App. You grant us a limited license to process that content solely to operate and improve the App's features for you.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or interfere with the App's normal operation.
• Use the App to submit content that is abusive, harmful, or infringes on others' rights.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

Mealkit is provided "as is." Recipe suggestions are generated automatically and may not always be accurate, complete, or safe for your specific dietary needs, allergies, or health conditions. Always use your own judgment about food safety, ingredient freshness, and any dietary or allergy restrictions before preparing or eating anything suggested by the App. We do not provide medical, nutritional, or dietary advice.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App, including any issues arising from recipes or ingredient suggestions generated by the App.

8. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time in-app (Settings → Delete Account). Deleting your account permanently removes your account data and saved content from our servers. See our Privacy Policy for details.

9. 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 above. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
