Welcome to Alfa Recipes. These Terms of Use ("Terms") describe the rules for using alfarecipes.com (the "Site"). They apply to everyone who visits the Site, reads its recipes, submits a rating or comment, or sends us a message.

By using the Site, you confirm that you have read these Terms and agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

Using the Site means you accept these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, which explains what information we collect and why. You must be old enough to enter into a binding agreement where you live, or have a parent or guardian's permission, to use the interactive features of the Site, such as comments and the contact form.

Reading recipes and browsing the Site does not require an account.

2. Use of Content and Copyright

The text, recipes, layout, graphics, photographs and other material on the Site (the "Content") are owned by or licensed to Alfa Recipes and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.

What you may do

You may read, cook from, print and save recipes from the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use, for example for your household, a family gathering or a potluck. You may also share a link to any page of the Site, and you may use the sharing buttons and our Pinterest profile to share recipes with a link back to the original page.

What you may not do

  • Republish full recipes, photographs or articles from the Site on another website, app, newsletter or platform without our prior written permission.
  • Sell, rent, license or otherwise commercialize the Content, including using it in cookbooks, meal kits, paid courses, packaged products or advertising.
  • Copy the Content in bulk, for instance by scraping the Site or building a competing recipe collection from it.
  • Remove copyright notices or present our Content as your own work.

If you want to feature a recipe on your own site or publication, a short excerpt with a clear link to the original recipe page is welcome. For anything beyond that, please contact us first.

3. Ratings, Comments and Messages You Send Us

The Site lets you rate recipes, leave comments, and send messages through the contact form. Together, these are your "Submissions".

Ratings and comments

When you submit a rating or comment, you provide a name and the text you write. Comments may be displayed publicly on the recipe page. Please do not include personal details you would not want others to see, such as your email address, phone number or home address.

By submitting a comment, you give Alfa Recipes a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display it on the Site. You keep ownership of what you write. You can ask us to remove a comment you posted by using the contact page.

Your responsibilities

You agree that your Submissions will not:

  • Be unlawful, abusive, harassing, hateful or misleading.
  • Infringe anyone's copyright, privacy or other rights, including by pasting recipes or photos that belong to someone else.
  • Contain spam, advertising, promotional links, or malicious code.
  • Give medical or safety advice presented as fact that could put other readers at risk.

We may edit, decline or remove any comment or rating that breaks these rules or that we reasonably consider inappropriate.

Contact messages

Messages sent through the contact form (name, email address and message) are used only to reply to you. See the Privacy Policy for details.

4. Recipe, Nutrition and Food Safety Disclaimer

Please read this section before cooking. Recipes are shared for general information and home cooking. You are responsible for how you prepare, store and serve food.

Results vary

Recipes on Alfa Recipes are developed and edited for clear steps, realistic times and temperatures, ingredient substitutions and food-safety notes. Even so, results depend on your ingredients, equipment, oven or air fryer, altitude, pan size and technique. Cooking and baking times are guides, not guarantees. Use your own judgement, and adjust as needed.

Nutrition values are estimates

Any nutrition information on the Site is an approximate estimate. Brands, ingredient sizes, substitutions, optional ingredients and serving sizes change the real numbers. Nutrition information is not exact and should not be relied on for medical purposes.

Not medical or dietary advice

The Site does not provide medical, nutritional or dietary advice. Labels such as "healthy," "low carb," "low calorie," "meal prep" or "Whole30" describe the style of a recipe and are not a promise that it suits your health needs. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, follow a prescribed diet, or are cooking for someone who does, speak with a qualified health professional before relying on any recipe.

Allergens and ingredients

Recipes may contain or come into contact with common allergens such as nuts, peanuts, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, sesame and shellfish. Substitution suggestions may change allergen content. Always read the labels on every ingredient you buy, check them against your own or your guests' allergies and dietary needs, and make your own decision about whether a dish is safe to serve.

Food safety and doneness

Food safety is your responsibility. In particular:

  • Verify doneness with a food thermometer rather than relying on time or appearance alone. For example, the USDA recommends cooking poultry, including chicken, to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Wash your hands, boards and utensils, and keep raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs away from ready-to-eat foods.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat them until steaming hot. Discard food you are unsure about.
  • Take extra care when using hot ovens, air fryers, slow cookers, hot oil and sharp tools, and when cooking with or around children.

Alfa Recipes is not responsible for allergic reactions, foodborne illness, burns, injuries or other harm arising from preparing or eating food made from our recipes.

6. Availability and Disclaimer of Warranties

We work to keep the Site accurate and available, but it is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not make any warranties, express or implied, about the Site or the Content, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Alfa Recipes and the people who operate it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or revenue, arising from your use of the Site or from relying on any recipe, nutrition estimate or other Content, even if we have been told such damage is possible.

Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example when the Site adds features or when the law changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the current version took effect. If we make a significant change, we will make it visible on the Site. By continuing to use the Site after an update, you agree to the revised Terms.

9. Contact

If you have questions about these Terms, want to request permission to use our Content, or need a comment removed, please use our contact page. You can also read more about the Site on the About Us page and learn how we handle information in the Privacy Policy.
