Terms of Service

These terms cover FamilyTable, a website run by Jason Bielss for family recipes. By signing in or using the site, you agree to them.

• FamilyTable is for invited family members, who sign in with a Google account whose email is on the family list.
• Use only your own account, and don't share your sign-in.
• Admins can add and remove people, and we can remove anyone's access at any time.
• The site isn't meant for children under 13 to use on their own.

You keep ownership of what you add. By adding it, you let FamilyTable store it, show it to the people who are allowed to see it (see the Privacy Policy), and process it with the AI features when someone uses them. That permission ends when the content is deleted, apart from short-lived backups. The person who added a recipe, or an admin, can edit or delete it.

You promise that:

• You have the right to add it. Family recipes and photos of your own recipe cards are welcome; please don't add other people's copyrighted work, like a whole cookbook, that you don't have the right to share.
• Stories and notes about other people are respectful, and you have their permission to share private details.
• Nothing you add is unlawful, harmful, hateful or harassing.

Please don't try to see, change or delete anyone else's information, break or overload the site, or copy it with automated tools. The AI features are shared and cost real money to run, so please don't use them in bulk.

Some features use AI to read recipe photos, suggest menus, plan meals and build shopping lists. The results are generated automatically and can be wrong or incomplete. Handwriting can be misread, quantities can be scaled or combined incorrectly, and suggestions may not suit your guests.

• Check anything you rely on against the original recipe, especially amounts, temperatures and cooking times.
• Allergies and dietary needs: FamilyTable can't promise that a recipe, menu suggestion or shopping list is safe for someone with an allergy or a medical or dietary need. Read every ingredient and label yourself.
• Follow normal food-safety practice, such as cooking food to safe temperatures and storing it properly.

FamilyTable does not give medical, nutrition or dietary advice.

FamilyTable is a personal project, not a company service, and is provided “as is”. It can change, pause or shut down at any time, and it is not a backup, so please keep your own copy of any recipe you can't afford to lose. To the fullest extent the law allows, Jason Bielss isn't responsible for losses or harm that come from using the site, including lost content or problems from following a recipe, a menu or a shopping list. Nothing here limits rights you have that can't be limited by law.

How we handle your information is in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms. You can stop using the site at any time and ask us to delete your information or a recipe you added. We may remove content or access that breaks these terms. If we change these terms, we'll update this page and its date; using the site after a change means you accept it. Questions?
