Terms of Service
The ground rules for using Scraps. We kept it readable.
Last updated: March 8, 2026
THE SHORT VERSION
→ Scraps uses AI to help you cook. Recipes are suggestions — not medical or nutritional advice.
→ If you or someone in your household has allergies, always double-check ingredients yourself.
→ Your content is yours. We don't claim ownership of your recipes, notes, or data.
→ Be a decent human. Don't abuse the service or try to break things.
Agreement to terms
By creating an account or using Scraps, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, that's okay — but please don't use the service.
We may update these terms as Scraps evolves. If we make material changes, we'll let you know via email or in-app notice. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
Your account
You need an account to use Scraps. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for everything that happens under your account.
You must provide a valid email address for verification. One account per person — no shared accounts, no bots. If we suspect abuse, we may suspend or terminate your account.
The service
Scraps is an AI-powered home cooking companion. It helps you generate recipes, manage your pantry and shopping list, track household dietary needs, and follow step-by-step cooking instructions.
The service is currently free. We reserve the right to introduce paid features in the future, but we'll give you clear notice before any pricing changes. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time — though we'll try not to pull the rug out from under you.
AI-generated content
This is the section that matters most. Please read it carefully.
ALLERGY & DIETARY SAFETY: Scraps considers your household's allergies and restrictions when generating recipes, but AI is not infallible. If you or anyone in your household has food allergies, intolerances, or medical dietary requirements, you must independently verify all ingredients before cooking or eating. Do not rely on Scraps as your sole safeguard against allergen exposure.
Recipes, suggestions, and conversational responses from Scrap are generated by AI (Anthropic's Claude). While we work hard to make them useful and accurate, they are provided "as is" and come with inherent limitations:
- • AI may occasionally produce incorrect, incomplete, or inappropriate content
- • Recipes are not a substitute for professional medical, nutritional, or dietary advice
- • Nutritional information (macros, diet tags) is estimated and may not be precise
- • Food safety guidance should be verified with authoritative sources (USDA, FDA)
You use AI-generated content at your own discretion and risk. We strongly encourage you to apply your own judgment, especially when cooking for people with allergies or specific health conditions.
Your content & data
You own what you create. Your recipes, notes, ratings, household profiles, and other content you add to Scraps belong to you.
By using the service, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your content back to you — and to send relevant data to our AI provider (Anthropic) for recipe generation and conversation. We don't use your content for marketing, sell it to third parties, or claim any intellectual property rights over it.
If you choose to share a recipe publicly via Scraps' sharing feature, that recipe will be accessible to anyone with the link. You can revoke public access at any time.
Acceptable use
Don't use Scraps to:
- • Attempt to access other users' accounts or data
- • Circumvent rate limits or security measures
- • Use automated tools to scrape, spam, or overload the service
- • Upload malicious content or attempt to compromise our systems
- • Use the AI for purposes unrelated to cooking and food (it's a kitchen, not a general chatbot)
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these guidelines.
Disclaimers & limitation of liability
SCRAPS IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI-generated content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular dietary or medical need.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCRAPS AND ITS OPERATOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR $100, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitation of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Governing law & contact
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Scraps shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota.
