Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and AppsInventor ("we", "us", "our") governing your use of the Rasoma mobile application and related services ("Rasoma", the "App"). Please read them carefully.
By creating an account or using Rasoma, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. The service
Rasoma is a private family recipe keeper. It lets you create or join family groups, add recipes (text and photos), record stories and attribution, and share that content privately with the members of your family groups. Some features may require an internet connection; recipes you have synced can be viewed offline.
We may add, change, or remove features over time. We will try to give reasonable notice of significant changes that affect you.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, to create an account. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Rasoma only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the App, you confirm that you meet these requirements.
3. Your account
- You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
- You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.
- Notify us promptly at rasoma@appsinventor.com if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.
- We are not liable for any loss arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
4. Your content and ownership
- You own your content. Recipes, stories, photos, and other material you add to Rasoma ("Your Content") remain yours.
- Licence to operate the service. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the App to you and the family group members you choose to share with. This licence exists only to run the service; it ends when you delete the content or your account, subject to reasonable backup retention and to content you contributed to shared groups.
- No public use. We do not make Your Content public, and we do not use it for advertising or sell it.
- Your responsibilities. You confirm that you have the right to share Your Content, including any recipes, names, photos, or stories involving other people, and that doing so does not infringe anyone's rights or break any law.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use Rasoma for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
- Upload content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, hateful, harassing, obscene, or that violates others' privacy or intellectual-property rights.
- Upload malware or attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the App or its infrastructure.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or tamper with the App except to the extent permitted by law.
- Use the App to send spam or to collect other users' information without consent.
- Misuse invite codes or attempt to access family groups you have not been invited to.
You can report a recipe or photo from its menu in the App. Reported content may be hidden while we review it. We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
6. Family groups and invites
- Family groups are private and visible only to their members.
- Group owners and curators may invite others, manage membership, and manage roles (owner, curator, member, viewer).
- When you contribute content to a shared group, other members can view it. Be thoughtful about what you share in a group.
- You are responsible for whom you invite and for content you add to a group.
7. Intellectual property in the App
The Rasoma name, logo, design, software, and all related intellectual property are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks or branding without our prior written permission.
8. Third-party services
Rasoma relies on Google Firebase and Google Sign-In to operate. Your use of these services through the App may also be subject to Google's terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party services, and their availability is outside our control.
9. Food, recipe, and health disclaimer
Please read this section carefully. Recipes and related content on Rasoma are provided by users for personal and family use. They are not reviewed or verified by us.
- We make no warranty about the accuracy, safety, suitability, or results of any recipe.
- Recipes may omit allergens or may not suit your dietary, medical, or religious needs. You are responsible for checking ingredients, allergens, food-safety practices, and cooking methods before preparing or consuming any dish.
- Nothing in the App is medical or nutritional advice. Consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
- You assume all risk associated with preparing and consuming food based on content in the App.
10. Service availability and your data
We work hard to keep your recipes safe and the service reliable, and the preservation of family heritage is central to our mission. However:
- The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
- We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times.
- You are encouraged to keep your own copies of important content. Rasoma provides a data-export feature for this purpose.
11. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, AppsInventor and its officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the App.
To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim, or INR 4,000.
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, or for fraud.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AppsInventor from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the App, or your breach of these Terms or applicable law.
14. Termination
- You may stop using Rasoma and delete your account at any time through the App's Settings.
- We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the App.
- Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
16. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the courts of India will have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes, except where applicable law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
