If you submit comments, photos, recipes, or other content ("User Content"), you retain ownership but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and display your User Content in connection with the Service.

Our total liability for any claims related to the Service won't exceed the amount you paid us (if any) in the past six months. Some jurisdictions don't allow limitations on liability, so these limitations may not apply to you.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will cease immediately.

All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

We may modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you through the Service or by other means. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

If you don't agree to the new Terms, you should stop using the Service. It's your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for changes.
