These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of fionarecipes.com (the "Site"), operated under the name Fiona Recipes ("we", "us", "our"). The Site publishes recipes for dinners, desserts, breakfasts and lunches, along with collections, author profiles and information pages.

Please read these Terms before using the Site. They are meant to be plain and practical, and they explain what you can expect from us and what we ask of you.

You must be able to form a binding agreement under the laws that apply to you. If you are under the age of majority where you live, please use the Site together with a parent or guardian, especially when a recipe involves knives, hot ovens or stovetops.

2. Use of Content and Copyright

The recipes, articles, text, layout, design and other original material on the Site are owned by Fiona Recipes or used with permission, and they are protected by copyright and other applicable laws. Photographs and illustrations on the Site are covered by the same protections.

What you may not do

Copy, republish or redistribute full recipes, full articles or collections on another website, app, newsletter, video channel or printed publication without our written permission.
Use Site content for any commercial purpose, including selling it, using it in paid products or using it to promote a business, without our written permission.

3. Your Submissions

The Site lets you send us information in three ways: recipe ratings and comments, the contact form, and any other message you choose to send us.

Ratings and comments

When you rate a recipe or leave a comment, you provide a name and the text you write. Please keep these points in mind:

Write about your own experience with the recipe. Helpful comments mention what you changed, how long it took in your oven or on your stove, and how it turned out.
Do not post anything unlawful, abusive, hateful, misleading or harassing, and do not post spam, advertising or links to unrelated sites.
Do not post other people's personal information, and avoid putting your own sensitive details (such as your address or phone number) in a public comment.
Do not post material you do not have the right to share.

You keep ownership of what you write. By submitting a comment or rating, you give us a non-exclusive, free permission to display it on the Site and to edit it for length, formatting or clarity where needed. We may decline to publish, edit or remove any submission, for example if it breaks these Terms.

Contact messages

When you use the contact form, we ask for your name, email address and message. We use them only to reply to you. Please do not include sensitive information in a message.

4. Recipe and Nutrition Disclaimer

Important: Recipes are shared as general cooking guidance. You are responsible for how you prepare, handle and serve food in your own kitchen.

Results vary

Cooking times, temperatures and yields depend on your oven, cookware, ingredients, altitude and technique. Ovens often run hotter or cooler than their dials show, and ingredient sizes differ. The times and cues in our recipes are a starting point. Trust what you see, smell and feel as you cook, and adjust as needed.

Food safety and doneness

Always follow safe food handling practices: wash your hands, keep raw and cooked foods separate, clean surfaces and utensils, refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat them thoroughly. Use a food thermometer to check doneness rather than relying on color or time alone. As general reference points, chicken and other poultry should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and ground meats 160°F (71°C).

Whole cuts of beef and lamb are commonly cooked to at least 145°F (63°C), followed by a short rest. Fish is generally cooked to 145°F (63°C) as well. If you are cooking for infants, older adults, pregnant women or people with weakened immune systems, follow the guidance of your local food safety authority.

Allergens and dietary needs

Many recipes contain common allergens such as wheat, milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, fish and shellfish. Ingredient brands differ, and packaged products may contain traces of allergens or change their formulas. Always read the labels on the products you use.

Labels such as "gluten-free", "dairy-free" or "vegetarian" on a recipe page are a general guide, and you should verify them against your own ingredients, particularly if you have an allergy or a medical condition.

Nutrition information

Where nutrition values appear, they are estimates. They depend on specific brands, ingredient sizes, substitutions and serving sizes, so the numbers on your plate may differ from those shown. They should not be used to manage a medical condition.

Not medical or dietary advice

Content on the Site is for general information and cooking inspiration. It is not medical, nutritional or dietary advice, and it does not replace the guidance of a doctor, registered dietitian or other qualified professional. Please consult one before changing your diet, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant or are managing allergies.

5. Third-Party Links and Ads

The Site may link to websites and services that we do not own or control, including our Pinterest profile and other external pages. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, privacy practices or availability of those sites, and a link does not mean we endorse them. Their own terms and privacy policies apply once you leave the Site.

The Site may display advertising supplied by third parties. Ads are provided by those third parties, and we do not control their content. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and that advertiser.

6. Acceptable Use

Please use the Site in a way that is lawful and respectful of other visitors. You agree not to:

Break any applicable law or regulation when using the Site.
Try to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers or its data, or interfere with its security or operation.
Upload viruses or other harmful code, or overload the Site with automated requests.
Impersonate another person or misrepresent your connection with anyone.
Send spam or unsolicited promotions through the comment or contact forms.

We may restrict access or remove submissions if these rules are broken.

7. Availability and Accuracy

We aim to keep the Site available and its content clear and accurate, but we cannot promise that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free or up to date. We may change, suspend or remove recipes, pages or features at any time. Despite our editing efforts, a recipe may occasionally contain an error or omission, and we welcome corrections through the contact page.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fiona Recipes and its authors, contributors and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss or harm arising from your use of the Site or from preparing or eating food made from our recipes, including illness, allergic reactions, injury, property damage or lost data. You use the recipes and the information on the Site at your own risk.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when we add features or when legal requirements change. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
