Terms of Service

3.1 You must create an account to use the Service. You accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy by checking the acceptance box and clicking “Create account” during registration. We keep a record of the date and time of your acceptance and of the version of these Terms you accepted. You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep it current.

3.2 You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

3.3 We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts, or to refuse registration, at our reasonable discretion, including for violation of these Terms.

4.1 Free Plan. The Service offers a free plan that does not require payment information and does not expire. The free plan includes limited weekly usage allowances — currently three (3) recipe generations and three (3) guided cooking sessions per week, together with limited in-session questions and translations — which reset weekly and do not accumulate or carry over. A single recipe generation may return multiple recipe options; each generation counts once against the applicable allowance. Current allowances are displayed in the Service and may be modified prospectively as described in Section 17.

4.2 Paid Plans. Paid subscription plans (currently offered as “Simmer,” “Sizzle,” and “Sear”) include daily usage allowances for recipe generations, guided cooking sessions, questions, and translations, in the amounts described in the Service at the point of purchase. Daily allowances reset each day and do not accumulate or carry over. Paid plans are offered on monthly or annual billing terms, as selected by you; the billing interval, price, and post-trial charge are displayed before you provide payment information and confirm your subscription.

4.3 Free Trial. New paid subscriptions begin with a free trial (currently four (4) days). A payment method is required to start the trial. UNLESS YOU CANCEL BEFORE THE END OF THE TRIAL, YOUR PAID SUBSCRIPTION WILL BEGIN AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TRIAL ENDS AND YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED THE PRICE DISCLOSED AT SIGNUP. The trial’s end date and the amount and frequency of the ensuing charges are disclosed before you confirm. Free trials are limited to one (1) per person. Changing plans during a trial ends the trial and begins paid billing immediately at the new plan’s price. We reserve the right to determine trial eligibility and to revoke trial access in cases of abuse, including the creation of multiple accounts.

4.4 Billing; Receipts; Renewal Reminders. Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, per your selection) through our third-party payment processor, Stripe, Inc., whose handling of your payment information is described in Stripe’s privacy policy at https://stripe.com/privacy. By subscribing, you authorize recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel. We (directly or through our processor) send a receipt for each charge and, for annual subscriptions, an advance reminder of the upcoming renewal, sent at least fifteen (15) days before the renewal date, that includes instructions for cancellation.

4.5 Cancellation. You may cancel at any time through the self-service subscription-management page available in the Service (accessible from the plan indicator in the Service header) or by contacting us at support@cavtar.com. Cancellation of a paid subscription takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; cancellation during a free trial takes effect without charge. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable and no refunds or credits are provided for partial periods.

4.6 Price Changes. We may change subscription prices. If we increase the price of your plan, we will send you clear notice of the new price, the date it takes effect, and how to cancel, at least five (5) business days and no more than thirty (30) days before the increase takes effect, and the increase will apply only to renewals occurring after that notice. Before charging you the increased price, we will either obtain your affirmative consent to it or, if we charge the increased price without having first obtained your consent, allow you to cancel within fourteen (14) days after that charge and receive a pro-rata refund of the unused portion of your term.

4.7 Complimentary and Testing Access. We may grant complimentary, promotional, or testing access with allowances that differ from published plans, at our discretion. Such access is revocable at any time and confers no ongoing entitlement.

5.1 Recipes, cooking instructions, ingredient suggestions, substitutions, answers to questions, translations, and other content provided through the Service (collectively, “Generated Content”) are produced by artificial-intelligence language models. Generated Content is created automatically and is not reviewed by a human chef, nutritionist, physician, or other professional before it is displayed to you.

5.2 Generated Content may contain errors, omissions, inaccuracies, or unsafe combinations, and may occasionally fail to follow the preferences, exclusions, or restrictions you specify. Generated Content is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional, medical, nutritional, or dietary advice.

5.3 You are solely responsible for exercising your own independent judgment before acting on any Generated Content, including reviewing every ingredient and every instruction for suitability and safety.

6.1 Your Responsibility. You acknowledge that cooking and food preparation carry inherent risks, including but not limited to foodborne illness, allergic reaction, burns, and injury from kitchen tools and appliances. You assume all risks associated with the purchase, handling, preparation, cooking, and consumption of any food or beverage, whether or not made in connection with Generated Content.

6.2 Avoidance Features Are Best-Effort Only. The Service allows you to indicate ingredients or categories to avoid. The Service treats every avoidance you enter as a strict constraint on recipe generation; however, these features rely on artificial-intelligence models and are provided on a best-effort basis only. THE COMPANY DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT GENERATED CONTENT WILL EXCLUDE ANY INGREDIENT, ALLERGEN, OR CATEGORY, INCLUDING ONE YOU HAVE ASKED THE SERVICE TO AVOID. Allergens may be present in ingredients under unfamiliar names (for example, fish sauce or oyster sauce containing shellfish or fish; certain sauces containing gluten, soy, dairy, egg, or tree nuts).

6.3 Verify Every Ingredient. If you or anyone who may consume food prepared using the Service has a food allergy, intolerance, or medical dietary restriction, you must independently verify every ingredient and every product label before purchase, preparation, and consumption. Do not rely on the Service for allergen screening or medical dietary compliance.

6.4 Safe Handling. You are solely responsible for safe food handling, storage, and preparation, including verifying that foods are cooked to safe internal temperatures using a food thermometer and following applicable food-safety guidance (such as that published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration). Cooking times and temperatures in Generated Content are estimates only and vary by equipment and ingredients.

8.1 You may submit information to the Service, such as ingredient lists, pantry items, equipment, preferences, notes, questions, and feedback (collectively, “User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, process, and transmit User Content as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

8.2 You represent that your User Content does not violate any law or the rights of any third party. You agree not to submit User Content that is unlawful, harmful, or offensive, or that attempts to manipulate, probe, or interfere with the Service’s underlying models or systems.

8.3 If you provide suggestions or feedback, you grant the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use them without restriction or compensation.

10.1 The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (including CAVTAR™), is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license below, no rights are granted to you.

10.2 Subject to these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use.

10.3 As between you and the Company, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, you may use recipes and other Generated Content delivered to you for your personal, non-commercial cooking purposes.

15.1 Informal Resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@cavtar.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

15.2 Arbitration. Except for claims that qualify for small-claims court and claims for injunctive relief relating to intellectual property, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, for claims that exceed the monetary limit of those rules, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures) and its Consumer Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness, each as in effect when the arbitration is filed. The arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York, or remotely, by a single arbitrator. If you initiate arbitration, your share of the arbitration fees is limited to the consumer filing fee set by the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards (currently US $250); the Company will pay all remaining JAMS filing, case-management, and arbitrator fees. If the Company initiates arbitration against you, the Company will pay all arbitration fees. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

15.3 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity.

15.4 Opt-Out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to Health Clear Strategies, LLC d/b/a CAVTAR, 3440 28th Street, Suite 1R, Long Island City, New York 11106, or by email to support@cavtar.com, within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include the email address associated with your account and state that you are opting out of arbitration.

15.5 Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 15 is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., which shall apply notwithstanding the choice of New York law in Section 19. The parties agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce.

15.6 Canadian Consumers and Other Jurisdictions. If you reside in Quebec or in another jurisdiction whose laws do not permit mandatory arbitration or class action waivers in consumer contracts, this Section 15 does not apply to you to the extent of that prohibition, and you retain the right to bring claims in the courts of your jurisdiction.
