These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Pin a Pie mobile application, website and related services (the “Service”), operated by Sharp Things AB, a company registered in Sweden with registration number 559599-6488 (“Pin a Pie”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Pin a Pie lets you store, structure, organise and share recipes. The Service includes tools to import recipes from external sources, including (a) websites via a URL, (b) posts on third-party platforms, and (c) photographs of printed recipes (for example from cookbooks or magazines), which our software converts into a structured digital recipe using automated image recognition and text processing (the “Import Features”).
The Service is a tool for personal recipe management. We do not create, select, endorse or verify the recipes that users store or share, and we act as a hosting provider in respect of content submitted by users.
You must be at least 13 years old (or the higher minimum age required in your country) to use the Service. You are responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date. We may suspend or terminate accounts as described in Section 13.
“Your Content” means everything you submit to the Service: recipes you type in, recipes you import through the Import Features, photographs you upload, notes, comments, ratings, images and any other material.
You retain all ownership rights you hold in Your Content. These Terms do not transfer ownership of Your Content to us.
To operate the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt (for example, converting a photograph into a structured recipe), display and distribute Your Content, solely to the extent necessary to operate, provide, improve and promote the Service. Where you share a recipe with other users, this licence includes making that recipe available to those users. The licence ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except (a) where you have shared content that other users have saved, (b) for limited backup retention periods, and (c) where retention is required by law.
You are solely responsible for Your Content. By submitting or sharing content on the Service, you represent and warrant that:
We do not review, and are under no obligation to review, Your Content before it is stored or shared. We may remove or disable access to any content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law.
The Import Features are tools that act on your instructions. You choose what to import, and you are responsible for that choice, in the same way that you are responsible for content you type in manually.
When you import a recipe via a URL, the Service stores and displays a link to the original source. If you share such a recipe with other users, the source link is published together with the recipe as attribution to the original creator. You must not remove, obscure or falsify source attribution. You must not use the URL import feature to circumvent paywalls, access controls or technical protection measures.
When importing from third-party platforms, you are responsible for complying with that platform’s terms of use in addition to these Terms. We are not affiliated with, and the Service is not endorsed by, any such platform.
The scan import feature converts a photograph of a printed recipe into a structured digital recipe (ingredient list and preparation steps). Please note:
Automated import and image recognition can produce errors, including incorrect ingredients, quantities, temperatures or cooking times. You must review imported recipes before relying on them. See also Section 9 (food safety) and Section 10 (disclaimers).
Shared recipes are public. Where you choose to share a recipe, it becomes visible to all users of the Service, and a shared recipe link can be opened by anyone on the web and may appear in search engine results. Do not share anything you wish to keep private. You grant other users a personal, non-commercial right to view, save and use recipes you share within the Service. You must not share content in breach of Section 3.4 or Section 4. We may remove shared content and restrict sharing privileges in accordance with these Terms.
You must not, and must not attempt to:
We respect intellectual property rights and expect users to do the same. We operate a notice-and-takedown procedure that is intended to comply with the EU Digital Services Act, the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), and corresponding laws in other jurisdictions.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, send a notice to support@pinapie.app or to our designated agent identified in Section 7.5. Your notice must include: (a) identification of the protected work; (b) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (for example, a link to the shared recipe); (c) your contact information; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf; and (f) your physical or electronic signature.
On receipt of a valid notice we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the user who posted it, and, where required by law, provide that user with a copy of the notice and information about counter-notice rights. Users in the EU will be provided with a statement of reasons in accordance with the Digital Services Act, and may use the complaint and redress mechanisms it provides.
If your content was removed and you believe the removal was mistaken or that you have the right to use the material, you may submit a counter-notice containing the information required by applicable law. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights, and we may suspend the processing of notices from complainants who repeatedly submit manifestly unfounded notices.
Notices may be sent to Sharp Things AB, Hagagatan 30, Stockholm, Sweden, or by email to support@pinapie.app.
The Service, including its software, design, databases, trademarks, logos and all content we create (excluding Your Content and other users’ content), is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the app on your own devices for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms. Feedback you give us about the Service may be used by us without restriction or compensation.
Recipes on the Service are provided by users and processed by automated tools, and may contain errors or omissions, including with respect to ingredients, allergens, cooking times and temperatures. We do not verify recipes for accuracy or safety. You are responsible for checking ingredients against your own allergies and dietary requirements and for safe food handling and preparation. Nothing in the Service constitutes nutritional, dietary or medical advice.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that imported recipes will be accurate or complete, or that content shared by other users is lawful or reliable. Nothing in this Section limits rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill; (b) we are not liable for content submitted by users, including infringing, inaccurate or harmful recipes, or for your reliance on any recipe; and (c) our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose and EUR 20. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or mandatory consumer rights.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Pin a Pie, its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content, including any claim that it infringes a third party’s intellectual property or other rights; (b) your use of the Import Features; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party. This Section does not apply to consumers to the extent prohibited by mandatory law in their country of residence.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, or remove content, if you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service (in which case we will give reasonable advance notice where practicable). Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3.3 in respect of already-shared content, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 15) survive.
We may modify the Service and these Terms. For material changes we will give you reasonable advance notice (for example, in-app or by email), and the changes will apply from the effective date stated in the notice. If you do not agree to the changes, you may terminate your account before they take effect; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you habitually reside. Disputes shall be resolved by the Swedish courts, with the district court of Stockholm as the court of first instance, unless mandatory law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your own country. If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also be able to use the alternative dispute resolution bodies available in your country (in Sweden, Allmänna reklamationsnämnden, ARN).
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms we present for specific features, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
