7. User Content and Public Recipe Contributions
You may enter, upload, save, create, import, or generate content through the Service,
including pantry items, recipes, meal plans, shopping lists, photos, preferences,
notes, ratings, comments, and related information (“User Content”).
You retain ownership of your User Content, subject to the licenses granted in these
Terms.
7.1 Private User Content
Private User Content includes content that you save for your own account and do not
choose to publish or share publicly, such as private recipes, pantry items, meal plans,
shopping lists, household notes, and private photos.
For Private User Content, you grant Pantry & Plate a limited, non-exclusive,
worldwide license to host, store, process, display, reproduce, and use that content
solely as needed to operate, maintain, secure, improve, and provide the Service to you.
We will not intentionally publish your Private User Content as public content unless
you choose to share or publish it through a feature of the Service.
7.2 Public Recipe Contributions
The Service may allow you to submit, publish, share, or otherwise make recipes or
related content available to other users or to the public (“Public Recipe
Contributions”).
Public Recipe Contributions may include recipe titles, ingredient lists, preparation
steps, cooking notes, descriptions, photos, tags, categories, ratings, comments,
serving information, timing information, and other related recipe content.
By submitting or publishing a Public Recipe Contribution, you grant Pantry & Plate
a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and
sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, publish, distribute, modify,
adapt, excerpt, translate, create derivative works from, promote, commercialize, and
otherwise use the Public Recipe Contribution in connection with the Service and Pantry
& Plate’s business.
This license allows Pantry & Plate to use Public Recipe Contributions to build,
operate, improve, promote, and maintain public recipe libraries, recipe
recommendations, meal planning features, shopping list features, search features,
editorial collections, marketing materials, and other related product features.
You understand that Public Recipe Contributions may remain available in the Service
even if you delete your account, cancel your subscription, or stop using the Service,
unless we choose to remove them or are legally required to remove them.
7.3 Attribution
We may, but are not required to, display your name, username, profile information, or
other attribution in connection with Public Recipe Contributions. We may also remove
or modify attribution for product, safety, privacy, moderation, legal, or operational
reasons.
7.4 Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for your User Content and Public Recipe Contributions.
You represent and warrant that:
- You own or have the necessary rights to submit, save, upload, publish, or share the content;
- Your content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party;
- Your content is not unlawful, misleading, harmful, abusive, obscene, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate;
- You will not publish recipes, photos, text, or other content copied from third parties unless you have the right to do so;

7.5 Imported or Third-Party Recipes
The Service may allow you to save, import, organize, or reference recipes from
third-party websites, books, creators, or other sources.
You may use imported recipes for personal organization where permitted by law and
applicable third-party terms. You may not publish, share, or submit imported
third-party recipe content as a Public Recipe Contribution unless you have the
necessary rights or permission to do so.
Pantry & Plate may remove or restrict recipe content if we believe it violates
these Terms, third-party rights, applicable law, or platform policies.
7.6 Moderation and Removal
We may review, moderate, edit, remove, restrict, or refuse to publish User Content or
Public Recipe Contributions at any time, with or without notice, if we believe the
content violates these Terms, creates legal or safety risk, infringes third-party
rights, or is otherwise inappropriate for the Service.
We may provide tools for users to report public content that they believe is
inappropriate, inaccurate, infringing, unsafe, or otherwise objectionable.
