Terms of use.

These terms of use are a legally binding agreement between you and Addictive Posts for access to addictiveposts.com and the recipes, pages, videos, images, membership, and forms on it (the “service”). By loading the site, joining members, or sending a note, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Related documents that form part of this agreement: the privacy policy, the cookies notice, and the cookery disclaimer. Questions: hello@addictiveposts.com.

Effective / last updated: 3 September 2026.

1. Who may use the site

You must be at least 18 years old to create a members record or send a contact form. The public recipes are a cookery publication; they are not directed at children under 13 (United States COPPA) or under 16 (EEA/UK). A parent or guardian is responsible for a minor’s use of public pages. You represent that the information you submit is yours and accurate, and that you have authority to bind yourself to these terms.

You may not use the service if you are barred under the laws of your country, under US export or sanctions rules, or if we have previously suspended you.

2. The service

Addictive Posts publishes home-kitchen recipes, some free, some in a members kitchen, plus occasional prep sheets, photographs, and video. Two members recipes a month is the current editorial pace; it is not a guaranteed count and may change. We may add, change, or take down any page, recipe, or feature at any time.

Membership access on this device is a record in your browser’s local storage. The join is also emailed to hello@addictiveposts.com. A confirmation to your inbox is sent once our Amazon SES sending account is approved. These terms still apply when that mail is live.

3. Membership, price, and cancellation

3.1 What members get

Members recipes that are not on the free list, printable prep sheets where we publish them, and the members archive. The free list does not shrink when you join and does not shrink when you leave.

3.2 Price

Membership is FREE until we reach 1,000 subscribers. Nothing is billed today. We do not collect payment cards. After that threshold, a price, currency, billing period, taxes, and cancellation path will be named on this site before any charge. We will not take a card, run a recurring debit, or start a paid term until you have seen that price and agreed. Existing free members will get notice before a paid term starts. If you do not agree, you may cancel and keep using the free list.

3.3 How you join and leave

Join with your name, email, and an explicit tick that you accept these terms. The tick starts unchecked. Cancel in one click on the members page. Access to members recipes ends when you cancel (or, once paid membership exists, at the close of a period already paid, unless a mandatory cooling-off or refund rule in your country says otherwise). Recipes you already printed stay on your paper. We do not refund printed paper.

3.4 Consumer cooling-off (EEA / UK / other)

While membership is free, there is no distance-sales price to refund. If we later sell paid digital content, EEA/UK consumers may have a 14-day withdrawal right unless they ask us to start the digital content during that period and acknowledge that they lose the right. We will put that acknowledgement on the paid checkout, not here in abstract. Mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence are not excluded.

4. Optional free list and other email

The free list is optional, separate from membership, and sent from news@addictiveposts.com only if you tick that box. We do not send marketing email until that pipeline is live. When it is: express consent, identity in every message, working unsubscribe (CASL, PECR, CAN-SPAM). Replies to a contact note you sent are not marketing. You may withdraw list consent at any time without losing free recipes.

5. Licence to you, and what you may not do

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal licence to load the site and to cook, print, and serve the recipes for private, non-commercial use. All other rights are reserved to Addictive Posts or the credited owner.

You may not, without prior written consent:

• Copy methods, photographs, video, layout, or distinctive wording onto another site, book, app, course, or product as if they were yours.
• Scrape, bulk-download, or use a bot, spider, or harvest tool against the archive, except a public search engine’s ordinary crawl of public pages.
• Frame the site, impersonate us, or remove copyright, trade-mark, or attribution notices.
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially republish members recipes.
• Probe, reverse engineer, overload, or interfere with the host, or attempt to bypass a members gate.
• Use the service to send spam, malware, or unlawful content, or to collect other people’s data.
• Misrepresent an allergen, health, or safety statement we published.

A single printed copy for your kitchen is allowed. A restaurant, publisher, or content mill reproducing the method is not.

6. Intellectual property and DMCA

The site, name, domain, recipes as literary works, photographs, video, graphic design, and compilation of the archive are owned by Addictive Posts or used under licence. Trade marks, if any, remain with their owners. Nothing here is a transfer of IP.

DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512): if you are a copyright owner and believe material on this site infringes, send a notice to hello@addictiveposts.com with: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the work; identification of the material and its URL; your address, telephone, and email; a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorised; and a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act. We may remove material and, for repeat infringers, terminate access. Counter- notices may be sent to the same address in the statutory form.

7. Your content (contact notes)

If you send a note, you keep ownership of it. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to read it, store it (currently in your browser; later on our mail host), and use it to reply and to improve the service. You warrant that the note is lawful and does not infringe anyone else. Do not send special-category data, medical files, or other people’s personal data. We may refuse or delete a note that looks abusive, illegal, or off-topic.

8. Cookery, allergens, and health — not a clinic

Addictive Posts publishes cookery, not medical, nutritional, or dietary advice. Nothing on the site is a diagnosis, a treatment, a diet plan, or a promise about a body. We do not make health claims. Calorie counts are not a headline and are not a substitute for professional advice. Read the disclaimer.

• Allergen and substitution notes are written in good faith from the ingredients we used. Cross-contamination in your kitchen, a renamed product, or a changed packet is on you. If you cook for someone who can be harmed by a nut, seed, gluten, egg, dairy, or other allergen, you read every packet yourself.
• Honey is not for anyone under one year of age.
• Oven temperatures, times, and yields are a guide. Your oven is not ours. Food-safety temperatures in your jurisdiction still apply (including the need to cook animal products thoroughly).
• If you have an allergy, an eating disorder, a condition, or are pregnant, ask a clinician before you change how you eat.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for an allergic reaction, food-borne illness, kitchen injury, or other harm arising from how you cook or serve a recipe, except where liability cannot be limited (see section 11).

9. Acceptable use and enforcement

We may suspend or terminate access, delete a members record, or block an IP if we reasonably believe these terms, the law, or another person’s rights are being broken. We may also do so to protect the host. We are not obliged to monitor the site but we may.

10. Third-party services and links

Outbound links, embedded video hosts, or fonts — if any appear — are outside our control. Their terms and privacy policies apply. We are not responsible for their content or practices. The current build does not load advertising or analytics third parties.

11. Disclaimers of warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, that a recipe will turn out in your kitchen, or that the members gate cannot be circumvented. Some places do not allow implied-warranty disclaimers. If you are a consumer in the EEA, UK, Australia, or another jurisdiction with mandatory guarantees, those guarantees apply and this section yields to them.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Addictive Posts AND ITS OPERATORS, WRITERS, AND HOSTS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR KITCHEN INGREDIENTS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM (CURRENTLY ZERO, BECAUSE MEMBERSHIP IS FREE) AND (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS (USD 50).

These limits do not apply to: liability that the law of your country does not allow us to limit or exclude; death or personal injury caused by our negligence where that cannot be excluded; fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or your consumer rights that cannot be waived. In the UK, nothing excludes liability under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to the extent it cannot be excluded. In Australia, nothing excludes the Australian Consumer Law.

13. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold Addictive Posts harmless from claims, damages, losses, and reasonable legal fees arising out of your misuse of the service, your content, your breach of these terms, or your violation of a third party’s rights, except to the extent caused by our wilful misconduct. This does not require a consumer to indemnify us where local law forbids that.

14. Changes to the service or these terms

We may change these terms. The date at the top is the effective date. Material changes (paid membership, new restrictions, new processors) will be posted here before they take effect. If you continue to use the service after the effective date, you accept the new terms, except where the law requires a fresh agreement. If you do not agree, stop using the service and cancel membership.

15. Suspension, termination, and survival

You may stop at any time by leaving the site and cancelling. We may stop offering the service, or your access to it, at any time. Sections 5–8 and 11–18 survive termination.

16. Governing law, disputes, and consumers

These terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator of this site, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer-protection, privacy, and food-safety rules of your country or US state of residence still apply and cannot be contracted out of. We do not use a mandatory arbitration clause or a class-action waiver against consumers where those would be unfair or unlawful (including for EEA/UK consumers).

If you have a complaint, email hello@addictiveposts.com first and give us a reasonable chance to fix it. Courts of competent jurisdiction remain available. EEA consumers may also use the EU ODR platform while it remains available. UK consumers may use the small-claims procedure in their local court.

We do not currently name a single exclusive venue because we do not publish a visiting address. That is not a waiver of either party’s right to bring a claim where the law allows.

17. General

• Entire agreement: these terms plus the privacy policy, cookies notice, and disclaimer. They replace prior versions.
• Severability: if a clause is unenforceable, the rest stays. A court may modify a clause to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
• No waiver: if we do not enforce a right once, we may still enforce it later.
• No assignment by you without our consent. We may assign to a successor of the publication.
• No third-party beneficiaries except as required by a rights-holder under the DMCA section.
• Headings are for reading, not interpretation.
• Electronic communications: you agree we may provide notices by posting on the site or emailing the address you gave us. A tick-box on a form is an electronic signature for the purpose of agreeing these terms (ESIGN / eIDAS equivalent), to the extent the law allows.
• Force majeure: we are not liable for delay caused by events beyond reasonable control (host outage, law, war, pandemic, utility failure).
• Language: the English text is the controlling version. A translation is a courtesy.
