Terms & Policies

Allergies & Dietary Restrictions:

Users must review all ingredients and instructions to ensure compatibility with their health conditions, allergies, or dietary needs. YUMZY is not liable for adverse reactions.

Cooking Risks:

Proper food handling, storage, and cooking techniques are the user’s responsibility. YUMZY disclaims liability for foodborne illnesses or mishaps.

Content Ownership & License:

You retain ownership of the recipes, images, and other content you create and share on YUMZY ("User Content"). By submitting User Content publicly, you grant YUMZY a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, and distribute such content solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the platform. You represent and warrant that you own the content you upload or you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to use and share such content on YUMZY.

Prohibited Content:

Users must not upload, share, or create content that includes or relates to: explicit, adult, or sexually suggestive material; violent, graphic, or disturbing imagery; hate speech, harassment, threats, or discriminatory content; illegal activities, substances, or instructions; misleading health claims, unsafe or dangerous cooking practices; personal or sensitive information of others without consent; copyrighted or proprietary material without proper authorization; spam, advertisements, affiliate links, or promotional content. Uploading content that infringes upon third-party intellectual property rights is strictly prohibited.

Image Upload Guidelines:

Uploaded images must be appropriate, food-related, and relevant to the recipe. Users may upload up to 3 images per recipe. By uploading images, users confirm that the images are their own original work, or licensed, royalty-free, or otherwise authorized for public use. YUMZY does not claim ownership of user-uploaded images but reserves the right to remove images that violate these guidelines.

Content Moderation:

YUMZY may use a combination of automated review systems and manual moderation to evaluate publicly shared recipes, images, profile content, and related submissions. Some content may be reviewed automatically, some may be reviewed manually, and some may be reviewed only after publication, report, or escalation. Automated systems can make mistakes, and human reviewers can also make incorrect or incomplete judgments. YUMZY is not obligated to pre-screen all content and does not guarantee that all violating content will be detected, blocked, or removed before it is viewed by others. You remain solely responsible for all content you upload, generate, submit for review, or share through YUMZY, including any legal, safety, intellectual property, dietary, allergen, health, or regulatory consequences.

Public Recipe Eligibility and Approval:

The ability to share recipes publicly may be limited to users who satisfy eligibility requirements determined by YUMZY, including account standing, subscription or plan requirements, policy compliance, and any additional conditions we may introduce from time to time. A recipe marked for public sharing may be routed into an approval workflow before publication, and YUMZY may approve, reject, delay, unpublish, restrict, or request changes to any recipe at its sole discretion. Submission for public review does not guarantee publication, continued visibility, distribution, or indexing.

Reporting System & Notice-and-Takedown:

Users may report content they believe violates these guidelines using the reporting tools available on the platform. Reported content is reviewed on a best-effort basis. Content receiving multiple valid reports may be temporarily hidden pending review. YUMZY reserves the right to remove content in response to valid copyright or legal complaints.

Enforcement Actions:

Violations of these policies may result in one or more of the following actions, at YUMZY's sole discretion: removal or hiding of content; temporary restriction of upload or sharing privileges; account suspension or permanent termination; cooperation with legal authorities in cases of serious or repeated violations. YUMZY reserves the right to determine what constitutes a violation of these policies and to take appropriate action to protect the platform and its users.

Liability Disclaimer:

YUMZY is not responsible for User Content uploaded by its users. All responsibility for uploaded content, including legal liability related to intellectual property rights, rests solely with the user who submitted the content.
