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 18 years of age and capable of forming a binding contract to use Dishlo. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
2. Your Account
To use Dishlo's full features, 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. Subscriptions, Free Trial, and Billing
Dishlo requires a paid subscription for full access, billed through your Apple App Store or Google Play account.
- Free trial. New subscribers receive a 14-day free trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your subscription begins automatically and your app store account is charged the then-current subscription price.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price until you cancel. Your app store account is charged within 24 hours before the start of each new billing period.
- How to cancel. You must cancel through your app store subscription settings (Google Play: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions; Apple: Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Deleting the App or your Dishlo account does not cancel your subscription.
- Price changes. If we change the subscription price, the app store will notify you before the change applies to you, and you may cancel before it takes effect.
- Refunds. Purchases are processed by the app stores and are subject to their refund policies. We do not control app store refunds. Where required by law, your statutory refund rights are unaffected.
- No refunds for partial periods. Except where required by law, canceled subscriptions remain active until the end of the current paid period, and fees already charged are non-refundable.
4. 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.
5. 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 for the purpose of providing the App's services to you. We may also process your content, including data generated as you use App features such as recipe parsing, ingredient categorization, and grocery list generation, in de-identified or aggregated form, to diagnose errors, maintain the App, and improve the accuracy and quality of its features. We do not use your content for advertising, do not sell it, and do not share your personal content with other users or third parties.
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.
6. 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.
7. 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 6.
- 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.
8. 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 deleted promptly 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Dishlo and its operators from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from content you upload to the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
14. App Store Terms
The App is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Your use of the App must also comply with the applicable app store's terms. You acknowledge that Apple and Google are not parties to these Terms, have no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the App, and are not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your use of it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to your use of the iOS version of the App, and Apple may enforce these Terms against you as such.
15. Termination
You may stop using the App at any time. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time using Account → Delete Account in the App, or by contacting us at dishlo.app@gmail.com. Deleting your account does not cancel any active subscription — you must cancel separately through your app store, as described in Section 3.
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 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, and 17 — will remain in effect.
16. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Small claims. Either you or Dishlo may bring an individual claim in small claims court in the county where you reside or in Marshall County, Tennessee, if the claim qualifies.
Courts. Any other dispute arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Marshall County, Tennessee, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
17. Severability; Entire Agreement
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms, together with the Dishlo Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Dishlo regarding the App.
