Welcome to Dishlo. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Dishlo mobile application (the "App") operated by Dishlo ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age to use Dishlo. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
2. Your Account
To use Dishlo, you must create an account using a valid email address and password. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
- All activity that occurs under your account.
- Notifying us immediately at dishlo.app@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
3. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Dishlo only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
- Use the App in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation.
- Upload content that infringes on the rights of others or that you do not have permission to use.
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the App.
- Use the App to distribute spam, malware, or other harmful content.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App, its servers, or connected systems.
- Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or collect data from the App without our prior written consent.
4. Recipes, Content, and Ownership
Your Original Content
Any content you create entirely from scratch inside Dishlo — such as original recipes you write yourself, personal notes, custom grocery items, and meal plans you build — belongs to you. You retain full ownership of that original content.
Recipes from Other Sources
Dishlo is a personal organizational tool. When you save a recipe that was written by someone else — from a cookbook, a website, social media, or any other source — that recipe remains the property of its original author. Dishlo does not grant you any ownership over that content. You are responsible for using the App in a way that respects the rules of the source.
The URL field in Dishlo is a reference and credit field only. It records where a recipe came from. It does not fetch the recipe, scrape the source, or grant you any additional rights over that content. Dishlo intentionally does not pull recipe data from websites on your behalf — saving a recipe is always an action you take manually, with content you have legitimate access to.
License You Grant Dishlo
By saving content in Dishlo, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, and display that content solely for the purpose of providing the App's services to you. We do not use your recipes or personal content for any other purpose, and we do not share it with other users.
AI-Generated Recipe Images
After you save a recipe, Dishlo may generate an original AI concept image for it in the background using Google's Gemini API. This image is an original visual created for your saved recipe — it is not sourced from the recipe's origin, the author's website, or any third party. Dishlo retains ownership of these generated images. You may use them within the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.
AI-generated concept images are intended as visual anchors only and may not accurately represent the finished dish, exact ingredients, plating, or preparation method.
5. Nutritional Information Disclaimer
Dishlo estimates nutritional information such as calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat for saved recipes using AI. These estimates are automatically generated and are intended as a general, informal reference only.
Nutritional estimates produced by Dishlo are not accurate, verified, or reliable enough for medical, clinical, allergy, or dietary decision-making. They should not be used to manage any health condition, allergy, dietary restriction, or medical treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare or nutrition professional for specific dietary guidance.
6. Cooking, Food Safety, and Personal Responsibility
By downloading and using Dishlo, you acknowledge and agree that you assume full and sole responsibility for all actions you take in connection with preparing, cooking, and consuming food based on any content in the App. Dishlo provides recipe and meal planning information for personal, informational use only.
Without limiting the above, you specifically acknowledge and agree that:
- Cooking involves inherent risks including but not limited to burns, cuts, fire, and exposure to heat and sharp objects. You are solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of others in your kitchen at all times.
- Dishlo does not verify that any recipe in the App is safe, complete, accurate, or suitable for your specific situation. Recipes are saved and displayed as entered by you. Dishlo makes no representations about the accuracy of any recipe content.
- Ingredient quantities, cooking temperatures, cooking times, and preparation instructions are provided as general guidance only. You are solely responsible for verifying that food is prepared, cooked, and stored safely in accordance with applicable food safety guidelines.
- Dishlo does not verify that any recipe is free from allergens, and the App's ingredient information may be incomplete or inaccurate. If you or anyone who may consume the food has any allergy, food intolerance, dietary restriction, or medical condition, you must independently verify every ingredient before preparing or serving any recipe.
- Nutritional estimates generated by Dishlo are AI-produced approximations only and must not be relied upon for the management of any allergy, health condition, or dietary requirement. See Section 5.
- Cook Mode may keep your device screen active while in use. You are solely responsible for the safe use of your device in a kitchen environment, including keeping it away from heat, water, and other hazards.
- Dishlo is not a food safety authority, a registered dietitian, a medical provider, or a professional cooking service. Nothing in the App constitutes professional culinary, nutritional, or medical advice.
If you do not agree to assume these risks in full, do not use Dishlo to prepare food.
7. AI Features and Third-Party Processing
Several features in Dishlo are powered by third-party AI or processing services. When you use these features, relevant content is transmitted to those services for processing:
- Recipe parsing — actual recipe text you paste or type is sent to OpenAI's API to extract structured recipe data.
- Photo and PDF scanning — screenshots, photos, or PDFs you upload are temporarily sent to Google Cloud Vision for text extraction. They are not retained after processing.
- Recipe image generation — a description of your recipe is sent to Google's Gemini API to generate a concept image.
- Grocery list generation — performed on our own servers. No AI or third-party AI service is involved in this process.
Dishlo does not scrape websites or fetch recipe content from URLs. Source URLs are used only for reference. We do not share your account information, such as your name or email address, with these AI or OCR providers for submitted-content processing. Each provider's own terms and privacy policies apply to their processing of submitted content.
8. Intellectual Property
The Dishlo name, logo, App design, interface, and all original content produced by us are our intellectual property and are protected under applicable law. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or use any part of Dishlo's original materials without our express written permission.
9. Availability and Changes
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or the App itself at any time without notice. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuation.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The revised Terms will be posted with a new "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Dishlo and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of profits, or any other loss — arising from your use of or inability to use the App, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or your use of the App shall not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim or $10 USD.
12. Termination
You may stop using the App and request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us at dishlo.app@gmail.com. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access at our sole discretion for conduct that violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.
Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13 — will remain in effect.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the applicable courts of the United States.
This section will be updated with the specific state of incorporation once Dishlo's legal entity is formally established.
