Food & Recipe Disclaimers

⚠️ Important Food Safety Notice

We test every recipe, but ovens vary, ingredients differ, and sometimes cooking is just mysterious. We can’t guarantee identical results, and we’re not responsible for kitchen accidents or food-related issues.

👅

Taste is Subjective

What we think is the perfect amount of bacon might be too much for you (though we can’t imagine how).

🚨

Dietary Restrictions

We try to note major allergens, but always check ingredients yourself for serious dietary concerns.

🔥

Food Safety

Please follow safe food handling practices. We assume you know not to eat raw chicken!

📊

Nutritional Info

When provided, it’s estimated. For precise nutritional needs, consult a professional.

Limitation of Liability

Recipe Outcomes

While we test everything extensively, we can’t be responsible if your soufflé falls or your bacon gets too crispy.

Website Availability

We strive for 100% uptime, but sometimes technology fails us (usually right when you need that recipe most).

External Links

We sometimes link to other sites for ingredients or equipment. We’re not responsible for those sites’ content or practices.

Maximum Liability: Our liability is limited to the amount you paid to access the content (which is usually nothing, since our recipes are free!)

User Accounts

  • Account Security: Keep your login information secure. You’re responsible for all activity on your account.
  • Accurate Information: Provide accurate information when creating an account.
  • Termination: We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms or engage in harmful behavior.

Intellectual Property

Our Content

The recipes, photos, stories, and overall vibe of Maxivore.com are our intellectual property or used with permission.

Trademarks

“Maxivore” and our logo are our trademarks. Please don’t use them without permission.

Fair Use

Sharing excerpts with proper attribution is fine – but republishing entire recipes or posts isn’t.

Changes to Terms

We may update these terms occasionally. When we do, we’ll post the changes here and update the date. Continued use of the site means you accept the updated terms.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes will be resolved in the appropriate jurisdiction courts.

Questions About These Terms?

Questions about these terms? Need clarification on anything? We’ll respond in plain English, not legal jargon.

The Bottom Line:

We’re here to share amazing recipes and create a fun food community. Use common sense, be respectful, and let’s make some delicious chaos together! If you have questions, just ask – we’re always happy to help clarify anything. 🥓🍔🧀
