Terms and Conditions

Last updated: November 12, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the GreedyFork website and your GreedyFork account. By using the website you agree to these Terms. If you create an account, you confirm that you have read and accept them, together with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

1. About GreedyFork

GreedyFork is a recipe website ("we", "us"). You can read and cook every recipe without an account. With a free account you can also rate recipes and save them to cook later. For any question about these Terms, write to support@greedyfork.com.

2. Who can use the website

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your country to agree to these Terms on your own, such as 16 in some countries of the European Union) to create an account. If you use the website on behalf of someone else, you confirm that you are allowed to accept these Terms for them.

3. Your account

  • Give us accurate information when you sign up, and confirm your email address before signing in.
  • Keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account; tell us right away at support@greedyfork.com if you think someone else has used it.
  • One person, one account. Accounts may not be shared, sold or transferred.
  • You can stop using your account at any time and ask us to delete it, as described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Acceptable use

When using GreedyFork, you agree not to:

  • break any law or anyone else's rights;
  • copy, scrape, crawl or harvest recipes, photos or other content in bulk, by automated means or otherwise, except for search engines indexing the public pages under our robots.txt;
  • republish, sell or redistribute our content, or use it to train or build other products or services, without our written permission;
  • manipulate ratings, for example by using several accounts or automated tools;
  • try to access accounts, data or systems that are not yours, probe or test the website's security, or get around its limits;
  • overload, interrupt or harm the website, or send spam or malicious code through it, including through the contact form;
  • impersonate any person or misrepresent your connection with anyone.

The recipes, texts, photographs, illustrations, icons, logos, design and software of GreedyFork are owned by us or by those who license them to us, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. "GreedyFork" and our logo are our trademarks.

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable permission to view the website and to use its recipes for your own personal, non-commercial cooking, including printing a recipe or keeping a copy for your own use. You may share links to our pages and quote a short excerpt with a credit and a link to the original recipe. Any other use, such as republishing a recipe or its photos on another website, in a book or on social media, needs our written permission.

Lists of ingredients by themselves are often not protected by copyright, but our descriptions, instructions, notes and photographs are.

If you believe something on GreedyFork infringes your copyright, write to support@greedyfork.com with: the work you own, the page where it appears, your contact details, and a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized and that the information you provide is accurate. We will review it and remove the material where appropriate.

6. What you send us

Ratings. When you rate a recipe, you allow us to use your rating, anonymously, in the recipe's average and rating count, including after your account is deleted.

Messages and feedback. You keep any rights you have in what you write to us. If you send suggestions or ideas about GreedyFork, we may use them freely, without any obligation to you.

7. Cooking safely

Recipes are provided for general information and enjoyment, and you cook at your own risk. Please use your own judgment:

  • Allergies and diets: check every ingredient, and the labels of the products you buy, for allergens and anything you need to avoid. Our recipes, tags and categories (such as "vegetarian" or "healthy") are general descriptions, not guarantees, and are not medical, dietary or nutritional advice.
  • Food safety: follow safe practices for handling, storing and cooking food, especially meat, fish, eggs and dairy, and cook food to safe internal temperatures.
  • Results vary: times, temperatures, quantities and yields are guides. Ovens, ingredients and altitude differ, and scaling a recipe can change the result.
  • Equipment: take care with knives, heat, hot oil, pressure cookers and appliances, and follow their manufacturers' instructions.

8. Your health and our responsibility

Neither GreedyFork nor the authors of its recipes are responsible for any harm to your health, or to the health of anyone you cook for, that results from preparing, eating, adapting or misusing a recipe published on the website. This includes, without limitation:

  • Allergic reactions and intolerances to any ingredient, including ingredients a recipe does not name, traces in the products you buy, or cross-contamination in your kitchen.
  • Foodborne illness caused by how food is stored, handled, prepared or cooked.
  • Injuries such as cuts and burns, and damage to your property or equipment.
  • The consequences of changes you make to a recipe, such as substitutions, different quantities, times or temperatures, or skipped steps.

Our recipes are written for adults with basic cooking skills: people who know how to handle knives, heat, hot oil, ovens and other kitchen tools and appliances safely. They are not intended for children or minors, or for anyone without basic experience in the kitchen. A minor should only cook from them under the direct supervision of a responsible adult, who is then responsible for their safety.

Our recipes, tags, categories and nutritional details are general information. They are not medical, dietary or nutritional advice, and they do not replace the advice of a doctor, dietitian or other qualified professional. If you have an allergy, an intolerance or a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are cooking for babies, children, older people or anyone with a weakened immune system, it is your responsibility to check that a recipe and its ingredients are suitable, and to ask a professional when in doubt.

By using the recipes on GreedyFork, you accept that you do so at your own risk and that you are responsible for deciding whether a recipe is safe for you and for those you cook for. This applies to the fullest extent permitted by law; section 12 explains what the law does not allow us to exclude.

9. Availability and changes to the website

We work to keep GreedyFork running and accurate, but we may change, suspend or remove any part of the website, including recipes and features, at any time. We do not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted or free of errors.

The website may link to other websites and services, such as our social media pages. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices; their own terms and privacy policies apply.

11. Disclaimer

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and all its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement or that a recipe will turn out as described.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GreedyFork, the people who run it and the authors of its recipes will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website or its content, including injury, illness, allergic reactions, or damage to property resulting from preparing or eating a recipe.

The website is free to use. To the extent we can be held liable, our total liability for all claims relating to the website is limited to 100 U.S. dollars.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and nothing affects the rights you have as a consumer under the law of the country where you live.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to compensate us for claims, losses and reasonable costs (including legal fees) that arise from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of the website.

14. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close your account, or restrict your access to the website, if you break these Terms, if your use puts the website or other people at risk, or if the law requires it. Where reasonable, we will tell you why. You may stop using the website at any time. Sections 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 15 continue to apply after your account ends.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the new version on this page with a new "Last updated" date and, if the changes are significant, we will let account holders know by email or on the website before they take effect. If you keep using GreedyFork after the changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

16. General

  • These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the website.
  • If a part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
  • If we do not enforce a right right away, we do not give it up.
  • You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example as part of a sale of the website, and these Terms will continue to apply.
  • If you have a concern, please contact us first at support@greedyfork.com: most issues can be resolved quickly and informally.
