ChoppedFork Terms of Service

Effective Date: September 22, 2026

Welcome to ChoppedFork.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the ChoppedFork website, mobile applications, platform, integrations, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account or using ChoppedFork, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not use the Service.

ChoppedFork is currently operated as a private, independent project and is currently provided free of charge. ChoppedFork currently does not charge subscription fees or display advertising. The Service, its features, and its business model may change in the future as described in these Terms.

1. About ChoppedFork

ChoppedFork is a digital service designed to help users organize recipes, manage household food information, plan meals, and coordinate food-related activities with household members.

The Service may allow users to:

  • create and manage recipes;
  • import recipes from external sources;
  • import recipe information from text, images, URLs, or supported media;
  • organize and tag recipes;
  • save favorite recipes;
  • rate recipes where supported;
  • create and participate in households;
  • share recipes with household members;
  • manage pantry items within a household;
  • create and manage household shopping lists;
  • create shared household meal plans and calendar entries;
  • invite other users to a household;
  • use AI-assisted features;
  • connect supported external applications, AI assistants, or other integrations.

ChoppedFork is an organizational tool and does not provide professional nutritional, medical, dietary, allergy, or food-safety advice.

ChoppedFork is under ongoing development. Features may be changed, added, restricted, replaced, or removed over time.

2. Account Registration and Authentication

Certain features of ChoppedFork require an account.

When creating or using an account, you agree that:

  • the information you provide is accurate;
  • your email address is valid and accessible to you;
  • you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account;
  • you are responsible for activity performed through your account or credentials;
  • you will not knowingly provide another person with access to your account credentials;
  • you will notify ChoppedFork if you believe your account or credentials have been compromised.

You must not impersonate another person or create an account for fraudulent or unlawful purposes.

ChoppedFork may support authentication through external identity providers, such as Google. If you choose to authenticate through an external provider, your relationship with that provider is also subject to that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

ChoppedFork may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that are involved in misuse of the Service.

ChoppedFork is intended for users aged 13 and older.

If you are under the age at which you may independently consent to applicable data processing in your country, authorization from a parent or guardian may be required for certain features. Some optional features may therefore be unavailable where applicable age or consent requirements cannot be satisfied.

3. User Content

Users may create, import, store, edit, organize, and share content through ChoppedFork.

This may include:

  • recipes;
  • ingredients;
  • cooking instructions;
  • recipe descriptions;
  • tags;
  • images;
  • pantry information;
  • shopping-list information;
  • meal plans;
  • calendar entries;
  • ratings;
  • notes;
  • other information entered into the Service.

This content is referred to as “User Content”.

You retain ownership of the User Content that you create, subject to any rights belonging to third parties.

ChoppedFork does not acquire ownership of your User Content merely because you store or process it through the Service.

You grant ChoppedFork a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to store, process, reproduce, transmit, transform, and display your User Content only as reasonably necessary to provide, operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service and to provide features you choose to use.

This includes processing necessary to provide household sharing, recipe importing, AI-assisted functionality, and integrations that you expressly choose to use.

This license does not transfer ownership of your User Content to ChoppedFork.

4. Private Recipes

Recipes that are not shared with a household or another supported feature are intended to remain accessible only to the user who created or imported them.

ChoppedFork will not intentionally make private recipes available to other ChoppedFork users through household-sharing functionality.

If you authorize an external integration or AI assistant to access your recipes, information made available through that integration may be processed outside ChoppedFork as described in Section 11 and in the Privacy Policy.

No online service can guarantee that information will never be accessed as a result of a security incident, technical failure, or unauthorized access.

5. Household Sharing

ChoppedFork allows users to create and participate in households.

A household allows members to share selected information with one another.

This may include:

  • recipes;
  • pantry items;
  • shopping lists;
  • meal plans;
  • calendar entries;
  • notes;
  • other information specifically intended to be shared within the household.

The creator of a household normally acts as the household owner.

The household owner may be able to:

  • invite members;
  • remove members;
  • manage household membership;
  • manage certain household settings.

Information shared within a household may be visible to all current members of that household.

ChoppedFork is not responsible for disputes between household members regarding information shared within the household.

Users should only share information with household members that they are comfortable making available to those members.

6. Household Invitation Links

ChoppedFork allows household owners to generate invitation links.

Invitation links are temporary and normally expire after seven (7) days unless otherwise specified by the Service.

Anyone who obtains a valid invitation link during its active period may potentially join the associated household.

Household owners are responsible for sharing invitation links only with people they trust.

ChoppedFork may introduce additional security measures, limitations, or expiration periods for invitation links.

ChoppedFork is not responsible for unauthorized household membership resulting from a user intentionally or accidentally sharing an invitation link with an unintended recipient.

7. Pantry Information

ChoppedFork allows household members to maintain a shared pantry.

Pantry information may include food items, quantities, units, and related information entered by household members.

Pantry information is intended to be shared only with members of the relevant household and with integrations that a user has authorized to access that household.

Pantry information is not made publicly available through ChoppedFork.

8. Shopping Lists

ChoppedFork may provide shared household shopping-list functionality.

Household members may be able to add, edit, remove, check, or clear shopping-list items.

Authorized integrations may also perform these actions where the user has granted the relevant permission and requested the action.

Users should review automatically generated or AI-assisted shopping-list content before relying on it.

9. Shared Meal Planning

ChoppedFork may provide shared household calendar and meal-planning functionality.

Information entered into a shared household meal plan or calendar may be visible to members of the relevant household.

Authorized integrations may be able to read or modify meal-planning information where the user has granted the relevant permission.

Users are responsible for the information they enter into shared household calendars and meal plans.

ChoppedFork does not guarantee the accuracy, nutritional suitability, or availability of recipes or meal plans.

10. Imported Recipes and External Content

ChoppedFork may allow users to import recipes or recipe information from external sources, including supported URLs, text, images, and media.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights to use, process, and store imported content.

ChoppedFork does not claim ownership of third-party content imported by users.

You acknowledge that imported recipes, images, videos, text, or other materials may be subject to copyright, contractual restrictions, platform rules, or other rights belonging to third parties.

ChoppedFork does not generally verify whether a user has permission to import particular content.

You must not use ChoppedFork to store, process, or distribute content in a way that infringes the rights of another person or organization.

If you believe content stored on ChoppedFork infringes your rights, please contact ChoppedFork using the contact information provided in these Terms.

Video and Media Import

You may only submit media or URLs that you have the right to use for the relevant purpose.

You agree not to use import functionality to download, reproduce, or process content in violation of applicable law, third-party rights, or the source platform’s applicable terms.

ChoppedFork may restrict or disable particular import methods at any time.

11. AI-Assisted Features and External AI Integrations

ChoppedFork may provide features that use artificial intelligence, machine learning, speech recognition, optical character recognition, language models, or similar technologies.

These features may be used for purposes such as:

  • extracting recipe information;
  • interpreting text, images, audio, or video;
  • organizing recipe data;
  • generating meal suggestions;
  • assisting with meal planning;
  • generating or updating shopping lists;
  • helping users interact with their ChoppedFork data.

AI-generated or AI-assisted output may be incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate for a particular user.

You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated results before relying on them, particularly where food safety, allergies, dietary restrictions, quantities, temperatures, or cooking instructions are involved.

External AI Assistants and Connected Services

ChoppedFork may allow you to connect external applications or AI assistants, including services that use the Model Context Protocol (“MCP”), APIs, OAuth, API tokens, or similar integration mechanisms.

Examples may include Claude or other compatible AI assistants or applications.

These external services are not operated by ChoppedFork unless expressly stated otherwise.

Depending on the permissions you choose to grant, an authorized integration may be able to access information such as:

  • your account information;
  • household information;
  • recipes;
  • pantry information;
  • shopping lists;
  • meal plans;
  • other data exposed through the integration.

Some integrations may also be permitted to create, update, or delete ChoppedFork data if you grant the relevant permissions.

ChoppedFork may use separate permissions or scopes for different types of access, such as read access, write access, or deletion access.

You should only authorize integrations that you trust and should grant only the permissions necessary for the functionality you want to use.

Where an integration allows actions that change or delete data, you are responsible for reviewing the instructions you give to the external service and the resulting changes.

ChoppedFork may implement technical safeguards, permission controls, confirmations, or other restrictions, but cannot guarantee that an external AI system will always interpret your instructions correctly.

Third-Party Terms

When you choose to use an external AI assistant or connected service, that service may process information under its own terms and privacy policy.

ChoppedFork does not control how an independent third-party service processes information after you intentionally make that information available to the service.

You are responsible for reviewing the terms and privacy practices of external services before connecting them.

References to third-party services do not imply sponsorship, partnership, or endorsement unless expressly stated.

12. API Tokens, OAuth Credentials, and Integration Security

ChoppedFork may allow you to create or authorize credentials that permit external applications to access parts of your account.

These may include:

  • personal API tokens;
  • OAuth access;
  • scoped permissions;
  • other authentication or authorization mechanisms.

API tokens and similar credentials should be treated as passwords.

You agree not to intentionally publish or expose credentials that provide access to your ChoppedFork account.

If you believe a credential has been exposed, you should revoke it promptly and create a new credential where appropriate.

You are responsible for integrations that you intentionally authorize, subject to applicable law.

ChoppedFork may revoke, restrict, expire, or disable integration credentials where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, or operation of the Service.

13. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • use ChoppedFork for unlawful purposes;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service;
  • attempt to access another user’s account or data without permission;
  • bypass security, permission, or access controls;
  • interfere with the operation or security of ChoppedFork;
  • upload or distribute malicious software;
  • impersonate another person;
  • abuse, harass, threaten, or target other users;
  • use ChoppedFork to infringe the rights of another person;
  • misuse household invitation links;
  • misuse API tokens or OAuth credentials;
  • use automated methods to place unreasonable load on the Service;
  • use integrations to circumvent permissions or access controls;
  • attempt to reverse engineer or extract source code from the Service except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.

ChoppedFork may restrict access to the Service, integrations, or particular features where reasonably necessary to protect ChoppedFork, its users, or third parties.

14. Intellectual Property

The ChoppedFork platform, including its software, design, branding, logos, interfaces, and original materials, is owned by or licensed to ChoppedFork.

You may not, except where permitted by applicable law:

  • copy or reproduce substantial parts of the Service;
  • reverse engineer the software;
  • attempt to extract non-public source code;
  • reproduce ChoppedFork branding without permission;
  • systematically reproduce substantial portions of the Service.

These Terms do not grant you ownership rights in the ChoppedFork platform.

User Content remains subject to Section 3.

15. Service Availability

ChoppedFork is currently provided as a free, independent project.

ChoppedFork aims to provide a reliable Service but does not guarantee that the Service will always be:

  • available;
  • uninterrupted;
  • error-free;
  • secure;
  • compatible with every device, integration, AI assistant, or software environment.

The Service may become temporarily unavailable because of:

  • maintenance;
  • updates;
  • technical problems;
  • hosting failures;
  • network problems;
  • third-party service failures;
  • security incidents;
  • circumstances outside ChoppedFork’s reasonable control.

ChoppedFork may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time.

ChoppedFork may also permanently discontinue the Service.

Where reasonably possible, ChoppedFork will attempt to provide advance notice of significant changes or permanent discontinuation.

16. Fees, Advertising, and Future Business Models

ChoppedFork is currently provided without subscription fees and does not currently display advertising.

ChoppedFork may introduce additional business models in the future, which could include:

  • optional paid features;
  • subscriptions;
  • usage limits;
  • paid upgrades;
  • sponsorship;
  • advertising;
  • other forms of monetization.

ChoppedFork will not retroactively charge you for past use of a previously free feature without your agreement.

If advertising, advertising-related tracking, or materially different commercial processing of personal data is introduced, ChoppedFork will update applicable disclosures and obtain consent where required by law.

Material changes to pricing or the business model will be communicated where reasonably appropriate.

17. Data Storage and Security

ChoppedFork takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user information.

However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

You acknowledge that:

  • transmission of information over the internet carries risks;
  • you are responsible for protecting account credentials and integration credentials;
  • ChoppedFork cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or data loss will never occur.

Information about personal data processing is described in the ChoppedFork Privacy Policy.

18. Account Deletion

You may delete your ChoppedFork account using the account-deletion functionality provided by the Service.

Deleting your account is intended to remove your account and associated User Content from the active Service, subject to applicable legal or technical retention requirements.

This may include:

  • recipes;
  • favorites;
  • ratings;
  • pantry information;
  • shopping-list information;
  • household membership;
  • calendar entries;
  • meal plans;
  • integration credentials;
  • other information associated with your account.

Because some information may be shared with other household members, deletion may affect information available to the household.

Some information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, or technical systems until those systems are overwritten or records expire.

Certain information may also be retained where necessary to comply with legal obligations or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Once an account has been deleted, it may not be possible to recover it or its associated content.

Deleting your ChoppedFork account does not automatically delete information already processed or retained by an independent external service that you previously connected. You may need to exercise deletion rights separately with that provider.

19. Disclaimer

ChoppedFork is provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ChoppedFork makes no warranties regarding:

  • the accuracy of recipes;
  • the accuracy of imported recipes;
  • AI-generated or AI-extracted content;
  • suggestions produced through AI or connected services;
  • ingredient availability;
  • nutritional information;
  • allergen information;
  • dietary suitability;
  • food safety;
  • uninterrupted operation;
  • accuracy of User Content;
  • continued availability of the Service or integrations.

Users are responsible for independently evaluating:

  • food safety;
  • allergens;
  • dietary requirements;
  • ingredient suitability;
  • cooking temperatures;
  • quantities;
  • preparation methods;
  • AI-generated recommendations.

ChoppedFork does not provide professional nutritional, medical, dietary, allergy, or food-safety advice.

20. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ChoppedFork shall not be liable for:

  • indirect or consequential damages;
  • loss of profits;
  • loss of data;
  • loss resulting from reliance on User Content;
  • inaccurate recipes;
  • inaccurate imported content;
  • inaccurate AI-generated content;
  • actions performed by an external service that you authorized;
  • disputes between household members;
  • unauthorized access resulting from user-controlled sharing or disclosed credentials;
  • service interruptions;
  • loss resulting from discontinuation of the Service.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms affects mandatory rights that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

21. Third-Party Services

Some ChoppedFork functionality may depend on or interact with third-party services, including:

  • identity providers;
  • email providers;
  • hosting and network providers;
  • websites from which users import content;
  • AI services;
  • connected applications.

Third-party services may change, become unavailable, restrict access, or apply their own terms and privacy practices.

ChoppedFork is not responsible for the independent operation of third-party services.

22. Changes to the Service

ChoppedFork may change, add, remove, or discontinue features of the Service.

This may include changes to:

  • monetization.

ChoppedFork will make reasonable efforts to maintain compatibility with existing data but cannot guarantee that all historical functionality will remain available indefinitely.

23. Changes to These Terms

Changes may be necessary because of:

  • changes to the Service;
  • new functionality;
  • AI or integration functionality;
  • security requirements;

Continued use of ChoppedFork after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

24. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of Sweden.

Any disputes shall be handled by the competent courts of Sweden unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

Nothing in these Terms limits mandatory consumer-protection rights or other rights that cannot legally be excluded.
