9. Disclaimers
The Services are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy of AI-generated recipes, food safety, allergen information, or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, even if advised of the possibility.
