Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 6, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Broccolini (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Ember City Studio ("we," "us," or "our").

2. Description of Service

Broccolini is a meal planning application that allows you to store recipes, build weekly schedules (including a random schedule generator), and mark meals as having leftovers to be used in future plans.

Use of the App requires a paid subscription, with a free trial period offered to new users.

3. User Accounts

You must create an account to use Broccolini. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Providing accurate and current information
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

You must be at least 13 years old, or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction, to create an account.

4. Subscriptions and Billing

Broccolini offers two paid subscription tiers ("Broccolini Plus" and "Broccolini Basic"). New users are offered a free trial; after the trial ends, an active subscription is required to continue using the App.

Subscriptions are billed through the Apple App Store. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled 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.

You can manage and cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings on the App Store. No refunds are provided for unused portions of a subscription period, except as required by applicable law.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any regulations
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
  • Upload content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
  • Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair the service
  • Share your account credentials with others

6. User Content

You retain ownership of the recipes, notes, and other content you create in the App ("User Content"). By using the App, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store and display your User Content solely as necessary to provide the service.

You are solely responsible for your User Content, including any content you import from third-party sources. We do not review user-created content and are not liable for any User Content.

7. AI-Powered Features

The App uses third-party AI services to provide recipe parsing (from URLs and photos) and nutritional estimation. AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies.

You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of any AI-generated content before relying on it, particularly for dietary, allergen, medical, or nutritional purposes. Estimated nutritional information is provided for convenience only and should not be relied upon for medical decisions, allergy management, or specialized dietary needs. Broccolini makes no warranty regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI-generated content.

If you have allergies, dietary restrictions, or medical conditions, consult the original recipe source and a qualified professional rather than relying on AI-generated output from the App.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, and all content provided by us, is owned by Ember City Studio and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EMBER CITY STUDIO SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE APP SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time from the Profile screen.

Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. We may retain your data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes, but will honor deletion requests as described in our Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Effective Date" above and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice. Your continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you may have as a consumer under the laws of your jurisdiction.
