Last updated: March 30, 2026

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Reluctant Entertainer LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our").

The App is designed for personal, non-commercial use to help you plan and host gatherings.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements.

4. User Accounts and Data

4.1 Account Creation

Account creation is optional for browsing recipes and initial planning. An account is required to save gatherings, manage guest lists, and access AI-powered features. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account credentials secure.

4.2 Data Storage

Your gathering data, guest lists, and preferences are stored on our cloud servers (hosted by Supabase). This enables features like guest RSVP links and cross-device access.

4.3 Data Ownership

You retain ownership of all data you create within the App, including gathering details, guest lists, and notes. By using the App, you grant us a limited license to process this data solely to provide the App's functionality, including AI-powered menu suggestions.

5. AI-Powered Features

5.1 AI Menu Suggestions

The App uses artificial intelligence to suggest menus and recipes. All suggested recipes come from Sandy Coughlin's tested archive — the AI does not invent recipes. However, AI-generated menu combinations, pairings, and recommendations are suggestions only.

5.2 Recipe Import & Scanning

The App can extract recipe data from URLs and from photos of cookbooks or recipe cards using artificial intelligence. Extracted data is provided as-is and should be reviewed for accuracy. Photos submitted for scanning are processed in real-time by our AI provider (OpenAI) and are not retained after processing.

5.3 Not a Substitute for Judgment

AI suggestions are a starting point, not a guarantee. You are solely responsible for:

5.4 Dietary and Allergy Safety

The App does not guarantee allergen-free recommendations. If you or your guests have serious food allergies, intolerances, or medical dietary requirements, you must independently verify every ingredient in every recipe. Reluctant Entertainer LLC is not liable for allergic reactions, adverse health effects, or any harm resulting from reliance on AI-generated menu suggestions.

5.5 AI Limitations

AI features may occasionally produce unexpected results, including incorrect pairings, inappropriate portion suggestions, or recipes that do not match stated preferences. Always review suggestions before proceeding.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

6.1 Free and Premium Tiers

The App offers both free and premium features. Premium features require an active subscription.

6.2 Subscription Terms

Subscriptions are billed through Apple's App Store or Google Play Store. By subscribing, you agree to the terms of the respective platform's subscription policies, including auto-renewal.

6.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your device's App Store or Play Store settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods.

6.4 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing. You will be notified of price changes before they take effect.

7. Guest RSVP and Sharing Features

7.1 Shared Links

When you share RSVP links with guests, those guests can view gathering details (date, time, menu) and respond without creating an account. You are responsible for sharing links only with intended recipients.

7.2 Guest Data

When guests respond to RSVP invitations, their name and dietary preferences are stored and associated with your gathering. You represent that you have the consent of your guests to share their information with the App.

7.3 Potluck Contributions

If you enable potluck features, guest contributions are visible to all guests in that gathering. You are responsible for moderating this content.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

OpenAI services include text embeddings for recipe search and GPT-4o Vision API for recipe photo scanning. Your use of the App may involve data processing by these providers as described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party services.
