Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use apply to everyone who visits or uses 55recipes.com (the "site"). By browsing the site, reading recipes, submitting a rating or comment, or sending us a message, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. Use of Content and Copyright

The recipes, text, graphics, logos, layout and other material on 55recipes.com are protected by copyright and belong to the site or its licensors. You are welcome to use the content for your own cooking and for personal, non-commercial purposes: cook the recipes, print them for your kitchen, and save them for later.

You may share a recipe with friends or on social media if you do it the right way:

• Link back to the original recipe page on 55recipes.com.
• Share a short excerpt or a single photo with a link rather than copying a full recipe, its text or its images.
• Do not present our content as your own.

Without our written permission, please do not:

• Republish, sell or redistribute recipes, text or images, in whole or in large part, on another website, app, book or newsletter.
• Use recipes or images for commercial purposes, including advertising, paid products or paid services.
• Use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you or your product.
• Scrape, harvest or bulk-download content from the site by automated means.

3. User Submissions

You can interact with the site in two ways: by rating or commenting on a recipe, and by writing to us through the contact form.

Ratings and comments

When you submit a rating or comment, you provide a name and the text you write. Your comment may be displayed publicly on the recipe page. By submitting it, you confirm that you wrote it or have the right to share it, and you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to display it on the site. You keep ownership of what you write.

Please keep comments useful and respectful. We may edit, decline or remove a comment, including one that:

• is abusive, hateful, harassing or threatening;
• is spam, advertising or contains links to unrelated products or sites;
• contains personal information about you or others, such as phone numbers or addresses;
• is unlawful, misleading or infringes someone else's rights;
• impersonates another person.

Comments express the views of the people who write them, not those of 55recipes.com. Please do not post anything you would not want other visitors to read.

Contact messages

Messages sent through the contact form (name, email address and message) are used only to reply to you. They are not published. You can reach us through the Contact Us page. See the Privacy Policy for details on how your information is handled.

4. Recipe and Nutrition Disclaimer

Recipes on 55recipes.com are written to give clear steps, realistic times and temperatures, ingredient substitutions and food-safety notes. Cooking still depends on your kitchen, so please use your own judgement as you cook.

• Results vary. Ovens, stovetops, pans, appliances and ingredients differ, and so do cooking times and outcomes. Treat the times and temperatures in a recipe as a guide and adjust to what you see in your own kitchen.
• Nutrition values are estimates. Any nutrition information is approximate. It can change with the brands you buy, portion sizes, substitutions and preparation methods. Do not rely on it for medical or strict dietary purposes.
• Allergens. Always check ingredient labels and recipe ingredients against your own allergies and intolerances, and those of the people you cook for. Common allergens such as nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, soy, fish and shellfish may appear in recipes or be present in packaged ingredients. Substitutions suggested in a recipe may not be suitable for every allergy.
• Food safety and doneness. Wash your hands and surfaces, keep raw and cooked foods separate, refrigerate leftovers promptly, and reheat food until it is steaming hot. Use a food thermometer to check that meat, poultry, fish and egg dishes are cooked through; do not rely on color or time alone. Follow the safe minimum internal temperatures recommended by your local food-safety authority, such as 165°F (74°C) for poultry.
• Not medical or dietary advice. Content on the site is for general information and inspiration only. It is not medical, nutritional or dietary advice. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, or follow a special diet, talk to a qualified professional before changing what you eat.
• Take care in the kitchen. Hot oil, open flames, sharp knives and hot appliances can cause injury. Supervise children and use equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5. Third-Party Links and Ads

The site may contain links to other websites, including our social profiles on Facebook and YouTube, and it displays advertising provided by Google AdSense. We do not control third-party websites, advertisements or services, and we are not responsible for their content, products, availability or privacy practices. Those sites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. Mentioning a product, brand or website does not mean we endorse it.

If you click through to an advertiser or another site, any dealings you have with them are between you and them.

Information about the cookies and technologies used for ads and statistics is in the Privacy Policy.

6. Limitation of Liability

The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We work to keep recipes clear and useful, but we cannot guarantee that the content is complete, accurate in every case, or suited to your particular needs, or that the site will always be available or free of errors.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 55recipes.com and its operators are not liable for any loss, injury, illness, allergic reaction or damage arising from your use of the site or from preparing, serving or eating any recipe, including indirect, incidental or consequential damages. We are also not responsible for content posted by users or for the content of third-party websites and ads.

Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under applicable law that cannot be excluded.

7. Acceptable Use

Please use the site in a lawful and considerate way. Do not attempt to disrupt or overload the site, bypass its security, introduce harmful code, or gain unauthorized access to any part of it. We may restrict access or remove content where this is needed to protect the site or its visitors.

8. Changes to These Terms

Changes take effect when they are posted here, and by continuing to use the site afterward you accept the updated terms. We suggest checking this page now and then.
