Effective date: October 27, 2026
1. Using WorldMeals
You may use WorldMeals for lawful, personal purposes. Do not misuse the service, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, scrape content at scale, or use the platform to harm others.
2. Recipes, nutrition, cost, and timing
Recipes, calories, protein, cost, cook time, substitutions, and serving information are estimates. Ingredients and products vary. Verify all information that matters to your health, diet, budget, or safety.
3. Allergies and food safety
WorldMeals cannot guarantee that a recipe is free of allergens or cross-contact risks. Check every ingredient label, follow safe storage and cooking practices, and consult a qualified professional when needed.
4. AI-generated content
Chef AI and fridge-scanning suggestions may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable. AI output is informational and must be reviewed before use. Never rely on it as medical, nutritional, or emergency advice.
5. Kids meals
Kids dishes are ideas for families, grouped by age. Parents and caregivers decide what is right for their child. Check textures and food sizes for young children, cut round foods into small pieces, watch for choking risks, and talk to your pediatrician before introducing new foods or if your child has allergies or special needs.
6. Dish photos
Many dish photos in WorldMeals are AI-generated illustrations of the recipe. The dish you cook may look different.
7. Plans, free trials and subscriptions
The Explorer plan is free. Paid plans (Chef and Passport) unlock extra features as described in the app. Paid plans are bought only through the Apple App Store or Google Play, under that store's terms.
- Renewal: subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
- Cancelling: cancel anytime in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. To avoid the next charge, cancel before the renewal date (Apple asks for at least 24 hours before).
- Free trials: when a trial is offered, it turns into a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel before the trial ends.
- After cancelling: paid features generally remain available through the end of the paid billing period, unless access ends earlier because of a refund, revocation, or applicable store rules. The free Explorer plan remains available, and locally stored data generally remains unless you clear it.
- Refunds: refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies, because they process the payment. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com for Apple, or through your Google Play order history for Google. If you have a problem with a paid feature, please also tell us at support@worldmeals.app.
8. Accounts, favorites, and saved data
Some features may use browser storage or anonymous identifiers. Saved information may be lost if storage is cleared, a device changes, or a service is interrupted.
9. Intellectual property
WorldMeals branding, original design, software, and original written content are protected by applicable laws. Third-party names, recipes, photographs, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
10. User submissions
When you send feedback, dish ideas or messages, you must have the right to share them. We use them only to answer you and to fix and improve WorldMeals. We will not publish your words, recipes or photos publicly, or with your name, without asking you first. Photos you use for Fridge Scan or Food Rescue are processed to give you results; provider processing and technical retention may apply (see our Privacy Policy). If we ever add a way to submit recipes or photos for others to see, we will explain how they will be used and ask for your permission at that time.
11. Availability and changes
Features may be changed, suspended, or discontinued. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access.
12. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
WorldMeals is provided “as is” to the extent permitted by law. To that extent, we are not responsible for losses resulting from reliance on recipes, AI output, nutrition estimates, ingredient substitutions, external services, or service interruptions. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes any rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be limited or excluded where you live.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The effective date at the top always shows the latest version. If we make an important change, such as to plans, prices or how your information is used, we will tell you in the app or on this website before it takes effect, and where the law requires it, give you notice in advance. If you continue using WorldMeals after a change takes effect, the new terms apply. If you don't agree, you can stop using WorldMeals and cancel any subscription.
