3. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Website, our practices, or legal requirements. When we update these Terms, we will revise the “Effective Date” above. Your continued use of the Website after updated Terms are posted means you accept the changes.

For details, please review our Privacy Policy available on the Website. If you do not agree with our privacy practices, please do not use the Website or subscribe to the newsletter.

5. Website Content and Informational Purpose

The Website provides recipes, cooking tips, and food-related content for informational and educational purposes. While we aim to provide helpful and accurate information, cooking outcomes can vary based on ingredients, equipment, skill level, substitutions, and other factors.

5.1 No professional advice

The content on the Website is not medical, nutritional, allergy, health, or other professional advice. If you have dietary restrictions, allergies, medical conditions, or health concerns, consult a qualified professional before relying on any recipe or suggestion on the Website.

6.3 Sharing and linking

You may share links to our recipes and posts using standard sharing features or by copying the URL, provided you do not misrepresent your relationship with CraveMila and you do not frame or display our Content in a way that suggests it is your own. If you wish to use our photos or substantial excerpts, please request permission by emailing contact@cravemila.com.

7. User Submissions and Communications

The Website may allow you to contact us via email or through /contact, and you may choose to subscribe to our newsletter. If you send us messages, suggestions, feedback, or other materials (“Submissions”), you agree that:

Your Submissions are accurate to the best of your knowledge and do not violate any law or third-party rights.
You will not send sensitive personal information (such as government IDs, financial account information, or medical records) through the Website or by email.
We may use your feedback or suggestions to improve the Website without obligation to you.

We do not claim ownership of your Submissions. However, to the extent you provide feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them for operating, improving, and promoting the Website.

You agree not to use the Website in any way that is unlawful, harmful, or interferes with the Website’s operation. Prohibited conduct includes, without limitation:

Attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Website, servers, or systems.
Introducing malware, viruses, or other harmful code.
Engaging in scraping, automated access, or excessive requests that impair the Website.
Using the Website to harass, threaten, defame, or violate the rights of others.
Using the Website in a manner that violates any applicable law or regulation.

We may take appropriate action for suspected violations, including restricting access to the Website.

10. Third-Party Links and Embedded Content

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content (for example, videos). Third-party sites and services are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices.

Your interactions with third parties are governed by their own terms and policies. You should review them before engaging with third-party services.

11. No Affiliate Relationships

CraveMila does not operate an affiliate program on the Website and does not publish affiliate links as part of its content. If this changes in the future, we will update our disclosures and policies as appropriate.

12. Disclaimers

THE WEBSITE AND CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

12.1 Recipe results and substitutions

We do not guarantee that any recipe will produce a particular result. Outcomes vary based on ingredients, substitutions, brands, equipment, altitude, timing, and technique. You are responsible for verifying ingredients and instructions, including for allergens and dietary needs.

12.2 Nutrition and allergen information

If the Website provides nutrition estimates or ingredient notes, they are provided for convenience only and may be inaccurate. Ingredients and product formulations change, and cross-contamination can occur. Always verify labels and consult professionals as needed.

12.3 Availability and errors

We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any defects will be corrected. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CraveMila and its owners, operators, and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Website or Content.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CraveMila’s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Website or these Terms will not exceed US $100 or the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, whichever is greater. Because the Website is a free personal blog and you typically do not pay us to access it, this limitation is intended to allocate risk fairly to the extent allowed by law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CraveMila from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to:

Your use of the Website;
Your violation of these Terms;
Your violation of any law or third-party rights; or
Your Submissions or communications to us.

15. Copyright Complaints (DMCA-Style Notice)

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that content on the Website infringes your copyright, please send a notice to contact@cravemila.com with the following information:

Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
Identification of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (such as the URL).
Your name, address (optional), telephone number (optional), and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and may contact you for additional information.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Website at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or if we decide to discontinue the Website. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, to the extent applicable, the laws of the state in which CraveMila operates, without regard to conflict of law principles.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Website will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the United States, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

18. Dispute Resolution and Informal Resolution

Before filing a formal claim, you agree to try to resolve disputes informally by contacting us at contact@cravemila.com with a brief description of the issue and your requested resolution. We will make a good-faith effort to respond within a reasonable time.

19. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

20. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of that right or provision.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any policies referenced on the Website (including the Privacy Policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and CraveMila regarding your use of the Website and supersede any prior or contemporaneous understandings.
