Last Updated: September 28, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to FoodTrends Explorer! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website, located at [Your Website URL], and the services we provide (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

2. Description of Service

FoodTrends Explorer is a content aggregator that collects and displays articles, recipes, and other content ("Third-Party Content") from various online food publications and sources via public RSS feeds. The Service also allows users to create accounts, save content into personal collections ("Mixes"), and "like" content.

3. User Accounts

To access certain features, you must create an account. You can register using an email and password, or through third-party services like Google or GitHub. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. User-Generated Content

You are solely responsible for the "Mixes" you create and any other content you generate on the Service. By creating content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute it in connection with the Service. You represent that you have all necessary rights to the content you create and that it does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws.

5. Third-Party Content and Links

The Service displays Third-Party Content from sources we do not control. We are not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of this content. The Service contains links to third-party websites; we do not endorse and are not responsible for these sites. Your interactions with any third-party content or sites are at your own risk.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal purpose or in violation of any local, state, national, or international law.
• Infringe upon or violate our intellectual property rights or the intellectual property rights of others.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other user accounts, or our computer systems.
• Use any automated system, including "robots," "spiders," or "offline readers," to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to our servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period.

7. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

8. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Service's reliability, availability, or accuracy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, FoodTrends Explorer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms on this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
