What Rules Apply When Using This Nutrition Site?

A plain-language guide to the terms that govern your use of this site — what you can do, what we ask of you, and where the limits sit.

Last Updated: October 10, 2024

These terms set out the agreement between you and this site. They're written to be readable, not to bury the important parts in legalese. If something here isn't clear, the Contact Us page is the right place to ask.

Acceptance of Terms

When you browse, read, or otherwise use this site, you're agreeing to the terms on this page. That agreement covers everyone — casual readers, returning subscribers, and anyone who submits information through a form.

If any part of these terms doesn't sit right with you, the simplest response is not to use the site. Continued use is how you signal that you accept the rules as written.

Acceptable Use

Most of this comes down to good faith. When you enter information — your name, an email address, a question through the contact form, keep it accurate and honest. Fraudulent or deliberately misleading submissions aren't permitted.

There are a few clear lines you shouldn't cross:

  • Don't interfere with the security of the site or attempt to access areas you weren't given access to.
  • Don't disrupt availability for other users — no flooding the servers, no automated scraping that degrades performance.
  • Don't use the site for anything unlawful, abusive, or harassing.

The spirit here is straightforward. Use the site the way it was meant to be used, and you'll never bump into these rules.

Use License

You're welcome to read our recipes, articles, and guides for your own personal, non-commercial use. Cook from them. Save them for reference. Share a link with a friend who'd find them useful.

What you can't do without written permission is republish, redistribute, or repackage the content as your own — whether that's copying an article wholesale onto another website or pulling recipes into a product you sell. The writing, images, and design remain the intellectual property of this site or the people who licensed them to us.

Want to share more broadly? Permission requests are usually a quick conversation. Reach out through the Contact Us page and tell us what you have in mind.

No Warranties

The site and everything on it are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We put real care into the accuracy of our nutrition content — it's reviewed by a registered dietitian, but we can't promise it's complete, error-free, or current for every situation at every moment.

Nutrition is personal. What works for one body, one condition, or one set of dietary needs may not work for another. Nothing here replaces advice from a doctor, dietitian, or other qualified professional who knows your specific circumstances. When a decision matters to your health, get individual guidance before you act on it.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, this site and its operators aren't liable for damages that arise from your use of the content — or from your inability to access it.

That exclusion covers indirect, incidental, and consequential losses: things like lost time, lost data, or knock-on costs that follow from relying on information here. This isn't us shrugging off responsibility for the quality of our work. It's a recognition that we can't control how the information gets applied once it leaves the page.

Applicable Law

These terms are read and interpreted under the laws of the jurisdiction where the site operates. If a dispute ever comes up that can't be resolved directly, it falls under the competent local courts of that jurisdiction.

One practical note: if a single provision here is found unenforceable, that doesn't unravel the whole agreement. The rest of the terms stay in full effect, and the unenforceable part is read as narrowly as possible to keep the intent intact.

Modifications

We update these terms from time to time — sometimes to reflect new features, sometimes to keep pace with changes in the law. When we do, the revision date at the top of the page changes with it.

We don't email a notice for every edit, so it's worth glancing at that date when you visit. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. If a change ever feels significant, that's a good cue to read it through.

Contact Information

Questions about any of this? We'd rather answer them than leave you guessing. The Contact Us page has the details you need to reach us, and it's also where to send permission requests or anything else covered above.

For a sense of who's behind the content — and the credentials behind the nutrition advice, the About Sarah Waybright, MS, RD page is a good next stop. You can also review how we handle your information in our Privacy Policy.
