Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of DinnerList — our grocery list and recipe app (the “App”), the websites at dinnerlist.me, including the share companion at dinnerlist.me/share (the “Website”), and the synchronization service at api.dinnerlist.me (the “Sync Service”) — collectively, the “Service”.

Who you contract with: Anton Khanabeev (“DinnerList”, “we”, “us”, “our”). You can reach us at support@dinnerlist.me.

1. Accepting these Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you have the authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time — for example, when we add features or when the law changes. The current version is always available at dinnerlist.me/terms, together with its “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we will inform you in advance where reasonably possible (for example, in the App or by email if you have an account). If you continue to use the Service after the updated Terms take effect, you accept them.

3. What the Service is and what it costs

DinnerList helps you build shopping lists from a bundled product catalog, manage dishes and recipes, and add all ingredients of a dish to your shopping list with one tap.

• No account required. By default, the App identifies your device with an anonymous, random token so that lists can sync between your devices and so that shared lists work.
• Optional free account. You can create an account with an email address and a password to back up your lists and restore them, for example after reinstalling the App.
• No ads, no tracking. The App contains no advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking.
• Currently free. The Service is currently provided free of charge. We may introduce new optional paid features in the future. If we do, we will clearly communicate which features are affected before any change applies to you.

4. Accounts and your data

• An account is optional and only needed for backup and restore of your lists.
• You agree to provide an accurate email address and to keep your password confidential. If you suspect unauthorized use of your account, contact us at support@dinnerlist.me.
• Deleting your data: you can delete your account and all associated data at any time in the App under Settings → Delete My Data. This immediately removes your server-side account, your shopping lists and their share links, wipes the local data on your device, and resets the anonymous device token.
• Product photos you take in the App never leave your device and are not uploaded to our servers.
• Dishes and recipes are private by design and are never exposed through share links — only your shopping list can be shared.

For details on how your data is processed, see our Privacy Policy.

5. Share links — please read

• When you share a list, the App creates a public web link (dinnerlist.me/share/...). Anyone who has this link can view the shared shopping list and can check off items and add new ones — in a browser, without installing the App and without any password.
• A share link is protected only by being hard to guess. Treat it like a house key: share it only with people you trust, and do not post it publicly (for example on social media).
• Do not put sensitive personal information (such as health information, codes or passwords) into list item names — anyone with the link can read them.
• In the current version, an individual share link cannot be revoked separately. All your share links are removed when you delete your data (Settings → Delete My Data). The ability to revoke individual links is planned for a future update.

6. Your content

• You own your content. Everything you create in the App — shopping lists, dishes, recipes — remains yours.
• You are responsible for the content you create and share, and it must comply with these Terms and applicable law.
• To provide the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, sync and display your content as needed to operate the Service (including displaying a shared list to people who have your share link). We do not sell your content, and we do not share it with anyone other than the people you share a link with.
• Product photos stay on your device and are never uploaded, so no license to us is needed for them.

7. Acceptable use

You must not:

• create, store or share content that is unlawful, or that infringes the rights of others;
• use share links to spam, harass or impersonate anyone;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to lists of other users (for example by guessing, scraping or brute-forcing share links);
• interfere with or burden the Service, its servers or its interfaces (for example through automated requests without our consent);
• circumvent technical protections or reverse engineer the Service, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.

We may suspend or restrict access to the Service if we reasonably believe these Terms are being violated, in order to protect other users or the integrity of the Service.

8. Availability

We aim to keep the Service reliable, but it is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. Building and editing lists works offline on your device; synchronization and share links require an internet connection. We may change, temporarily suspend or discontinue parts of the Service. Where reasonably possible, we will give you advance notice of significant changes.

9. Intellectual property

The App, the Website, the bundled product catalog, design and all related materials are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App and the Website for their intended purpose. You must not copy or redistribute the bundled catalog or other materials beyond the use of the Service.

10. Apple App Store

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store: (a) these Terms apply as the license terms between you and us for the App, and Apple is intended to be a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce them; (b) your use of the App must also comply with Apple’s then-current usage rules for the App Store; and (c) you represent that you are not located in a country subject to applicable sanctions or embargo restrictions.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that sync will never lose data. If you depend on your lists, we recommend creating an account so your lists are backed up.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

• We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, as well as for injury to life, body and health and under mandatory statutory liability.
• For slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations, and such liability is limited to the damage that is typical and foreseeable for a free service of this kind.
• We are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, or for loss of profits.

13. Term and termination

• You may stop using the Service at any time. Deleting the App removes it from your device; using “Delete My Data” in Settings additionally removes your account, server-side lists and share links, as described in section 4.
• We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially violate these Terms, or if we are required to do so by law. Where reasonably possible, we will inform you of the reason.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer habitually resident in a member state of the European Union, you additionally enjoy the protections granted by the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of habitual residence.

15. Complaints and contact

If you have a question or complaint about the Service or these Terms, contact us at support@dinnerlist.me. We aim to respond promptly and to resolve disputes informally and fairly.

If you are a consumer, you may also bring a dispute before the Finnish Consumer Disputes Board (Kuluttajariitalautakunta) or, if you reside in another EU member state, before the equivalent consumer dispute resolution body of your country of habitual residence.

16. Miscellaneous

• If a provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force.
• These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• The App is available in several languages. These Terms are written in English; if we publish a translation, the English version is authoritative.
• We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms (for example, in connection with a change of ownership). If this happens, we will inform you.
