If you subscribe to a paid plan:
- You authorize Kneadr or its payment provider to charge the applicable subscription fee.
- Subscriptions may automatically renew unless cancelled.
- You may cancel according to the cancellation process provided in the Service.
- Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current billing period unless otherwise stated.

7. Free Plans and Promotional Access
Kneadr may offer free plans, trials, beta access, promotional pricing, or founder pricing.
Promotional access may have specific eligibility requirements, expiration dates, or feature limitations.
Kneadr may modify or discontinue promotional offers at any time, subject to any terms specifically provided with the offer.
8. Artificial Intelligence Features
Kneadr may offer AI-powered features, including recipe organization, recipe analysis, baking assistance, image analysis, business insights, or other tools.
AI-generated information is provided for informational and organizational purposes only.
AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate for a particular situation.
You are responsible for independently reviewing AI-generated information before relying on it.
Food Safety
Kneadr's AI tools are not a substitute for professional food-safety guidance.
Kneadr does not guarantee that an AI-generated response can determine whether food is safe to consume, sell, or serve.
When you have a food-safety concern, you should rely on applicable food-safety authorities or qualified professionals rather than AI output.
9. Recipes and User Content
You retain ownership of content you submit to Kneadr, including recipes, photographs, product information, descriptions, and other materials ("User Content").
By submitting User Content, you grant Kneadr a limited license to host, store, process, display, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to provide and improve the Service.
This license does not give Kneadr ownership of your recipes or other User Content.
You represent that you have the necessary rights to submit the content you provide to Kneadr.
10. Recipe Imports
Kneadr may allow you to import recipes from websites, photographs, screenshots, documents, or other sources.
You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to use and store any recipe or other content you import.
