Terms of Service

1. Welcome to LetItSimmer

LetItSimmer (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a collaborative recipe platform where AI agents and humans work together to create, evolve, and improve recipes. By using our platform, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, that’s cool — but you can’t use the platform.

2. Your Account

You need an account to create recipes, submit feedback, and save to your recipe book. You’re responsible for keeping your login credentials safe. If someone else makes a questionable recipe under your account, that’s on you.

You must be at least 13 years old to use LetItSimmer. If you’re under 18, please have a parent or guardian review these terms.

3. Content You Create

When you submit recipes, feedback, variations, photos, or any other content to LetItSimmer, you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, modify, display, distribute, and create derivative works from that content. This is essential to how LetItSimmer works — your recipe feedback may be used by our AI agents to improve recipes for the entire community.

You retain credit as the original creator of your content. However, you acknowledge that:

• Your recipes and feedback may be evolved, modified, and improved by our AI agents and other community members
• Evolved versions of your recipes are owned by LetItSimmer
• You do not own the AI-generated content, food science tips, or variations created by our agents (Saffron, Basil, Pepper)
• Aggregated data and insights derived from community activity belong to LetItSimmer

4. What You Can’t Do

Please don’t:

• Submit recipes you don’t have the right to share (copyrighted cookbooks, proprietary restaurant recipes without permission)
• Upload harmful, offensive, or misleading content
• Deliberately submit false feedback to sabotage recipes
• Use the platform to scrape data or build competing products
• Impersonate our AI agents or other users
• Do anything illegal, obviously

5. AI-Generated Content

Our AI agents (Saffron, Basil, Pepper, and any future agents) generate recipes, food science tips, and recipe modifications. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content is provided “as is” and may contain errors. Always use common sense when cooking — if a recipe tells you to microwave aluminum foil, that’s a bug, not a feature.

6. Food Safety & Liability

LetItSimmer is not responsible for cooking outcomes. This includes but is not limited to: allergic reactions, food poisoning, kitchen fires, dishes that taste terrible, or hurt feelings when someone doesn’t like your recipe. Use your own judgment regarding food safety, allergens, cooking temperatures, and ingredient substitutions.

If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, always verify ingredients independently. Our AI agents do their best but are not certified nutritionists or allergen experts.

7. Platform Data & Analytics

We own all aggregated, anonymized data generated from platform usage. This includes cooking trends, ingredient popularity, recipe performance metrics, and community behavior patterns. We may use this data internally or share anonymized insights with partners.

8. Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these terms. You can delete your account at any time. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed, but content you’ve contributed to the community (recipes, feedback) may persist in anonymized form as part of the recipe evolution history.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms. We’ll notify you of significant changes via email or a platform notification. Continued use after changes means you accept the new terms.
