Effective date: August 27, 2025
Contact: bella.recipeapp@gmail.com
Governing law: State of Texas, USA

These Terms govern your use of Bella (“App”). By using the App, you agree to these Terms.

1) Your account

You must provide accurate information and keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity on your account.

2) Your content and license to us

You own your recipes, photos, and other content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, and modify your content (for formatting, backup, and technical purposes), and to display it solely to operate, maintain, and improve Bella, including AI-based extraction/generation and any future social features you choose to use.

3) Acceptable use

• Upload content you do not have rights to or that infringes another’s rights.
• Upload unlawful, harmful, deceptive, or abusive content.
• Interfere with or disrupt the App, attempt to bypass security, or reverse engineer components.

We may remove content or suspend/terminate access for violations of these Terms or applicable law.

4) AI features and accuracy

Bella may extract or generate recipes from your images or links using AI. AI output can be inaccurate or incomplete. Always verify ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, temperatures, and food-safety steps before cooking or serving. The App does not provide medical, dietary, or professional advice.

5) Privacy

Your use of Bella is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices, including our possible future use of data for personalization and advertising.

6) Electronic Communications & Notifications

By creating an account or using Bella, you consent to receive electronic communications from us, including transactional/service messages (e.g., account verification, password resets, policy updates), product updates, surveys, and—now or in the future—marketing or promotional messages. You also consent to receive push notifications to your device.

Controls: you can unsubscribe from non-essential emails using the instructions in the message and can disable push notifications in your device settings and/or in-app (if available).

Important notices: we may continue sending transactional or legally required communications even if you opt out of marketing or push.

Carrier/OS: you are responsible for any data or messaging charges. Push delivery is not guaranteed and may depend on your device, operating system, and network.

Contact info: keep your email address current so we can reach you with important information.

7) Third-party services and content

Bella relies on third-party providers (e.g., Firebase for authentication, database, and storage; analytics; AI vendors; potential ads partners). We are not responsible for third-party websites or content you access via links you submit to the App. You are responsible for ensuring you have rights to any content you upload or request us to process.

8) Logout and deletion

You may log out at any time; your data will remain saved. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time using the in-app deletion feature. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

9) Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranties—express or implied—about the App, including accuracy, reliability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that AI outputs, data processing, or App operation will be uninterrupted or error-free.

10) Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we (including our owners, affiliates, and service providers) are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, or data, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of US $50 or the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim.

11) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your content or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

12) Termination

You may stop using Bella at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or create risk or legal exposure for us. Sections intended to survive (e.g., licenses granted, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity, governing law) will survive termination.

13) Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post changes in the App with a new “Effective date.” Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

14) Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Texas, USA for any disputes that are not subject to informal resolution.
