Capture & Cook
Terms of Service
Welcome to Capture & Cook ("we," "us," "the Service"), available at captureandcook.com and operated by Capture & Cook LLC, a Michigan limited liability company. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. What the Service Does
Capture & Cook uses artificial intelligence to analyze photos of food, generate recipes, estimate nutrition and grocery costs, identify restaurant meals, suggest homemade alternatives, and suggest ingredient substitutions for common allergens and dietary preferences. It also includes community features where users can share food photos, react, and comment.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or guardian. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.
3. Your Account
You are responsible for your account and for keeping your password secure. You must provide accurate information. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time by contacting support@captureandcook.com.
4. Important: AI-Generated Content, Allergy & Health Disclaimer
The Service's recipes, calorie counts, nutrition facts, ingredient lists, equipment lists, cost estimates, restaurant-meal identifications, and allergy/dietary substitution suggestions are generated by artificial intelligence and are estimates only. They may be inaccurate or incomplete.
⚠️ Allergy & dietary warning. Our allergen detection works by scanning ingredient names and may miss allergens, hidden ingredients, trace amounts, or cross-contamination. Substitution suggestions are general ideas, not guarantees of safety.
If you have a food allergy, intolerance, or medical condition, always verify every ingredient yourself and consult a qualified medical or dietary professional. Never rely on the Service alone to determine whether a food is safe for you to eat.
- The Service is not a medical, dietary, or nutrition advice service.
- Restaurant nutrition figures are estimates based on publicly available information and may differ from the restaurant's current official values.
- Cost estimates are approximations and vary by location and time.
You use all AI-generated content at your own risk.
5. User Content (Community Features)
When you post photos, captions, comments, or other content ("User Content"):
- You own your content. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute it within the Service so the features work (e.g., showing your post in the feed).
- Food photos, and cooking talk. Photos shared to the community feed must be of food or drink. You can also post text on its own — a question, a recommendation, or what you cooked. Every post, comment and reply is screened automatically. Sexual content, political campaigning, illegal or criminal content, hate or harassment, violence, and spam are not permitted, in words or images, and may be removed along with the account that posted them.
- You are responsible for what you post. Do not post content that is illegal, infringing, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, violent, deceptive, or that violates anyone's privacy or rights.
- We may remove any User Content or restrict any account at our discretion, including in response to user reports.
- Other users can see your username and the content you share publicly.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: use the Service for any unlawful purpose; harass, abuse, or harm other users; upload non-food imagery to the community feed or attempt to bypass content screening; attempt to access other users' data or probe, scan, or test the Service's security; scrape, copy, or resell the Service or its content; reverse engineer the Service; or impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service — including its name, logo, design, and software — is owned by Capture & Cook LLC and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.
8. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers (including AI processing, database/hosting, mapping, and email services). Their availability affects the Service, and your data is processed by them as described in our Privacy Policy.
9. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these Terms or to protect the Service or its users. Sections 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, and 12 survive termination.
10. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CAPTURE & COOK LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE — INCLUDING RELIANCE ON AI-GENERATED RECIPES, NUTRITION INFORMATION, OR ALLERGY SUBSTITUTIONS. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Capture & Cook LLC from claims arising out of your User Content or your violation of these Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Michigan.
