Terms and Conditions

Planet Bites · foodmlover.com

Last Updated: April 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Planet Bites at foodmlover.com (the “Site”). Planet Bites (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes real recipes from a home cook — home cooking content, primarily Chinese dishes, with recipes, notes, and occasional cultural articles.

By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Nature of the content

Content on this Site reflects personal home-cooking experience and general information. It is not professional culinary, medical, nutritional, or safety advice. You are responsible for:

  • Checking ingredients for allergies and dietary needs
  • Judging food safety (storage, handling, doneness) for your kitchen
  • Using equipment and heat sources safely

Always consult qualified professionals for health, medical, or legal questions.

2. Use license

Unless otherwise stated, you may view the Site and temporarily download materials (e.g., in your browser cache) for personal, non-commercial use. You may not:

  • Scrape, harvest, or bulk-copy the Site in a way that harms our hosting or misrepresents authorship
  • Remove copyright or attribution notices
  • Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law

Recipe text and instructions may be used for personal cooking; republication or commercial use of substantial portions requires our prior written permission unless fair use or similar exceptions apply in your jurisdiction.

3. Intellectual property

Text, layout, graphics, and original photos on the Site are owned by us or used with permission, and protected by copyright and other laws. Third-party trademarks and names (e.g., of services or ingredients) belong to their respective owners.

The Site may include links to third-party websites, embeds, Google AdSense ads, analytics, and our email newsletter (via Buttondown). We do not control third-party sites or services; your use of them is subject to their terms and privacy policies.

5. Disclaimer of warranties

Materials on the Site are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We do not warrant that:

  • Recipes will turn out identically in your kitchen
  • The Site will be uninterrupted or error-free
  • Any particular result will be achieved from following a recipe

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we and our suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content.

In jurisdictions that do not allow certain limitations, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Accuracy of materials

Recipes and articles may contain technical, typographical, or photographic variances. We may update content without notice. You should verify critical details (especially temperatures, timing, and safety) for your situation.

8. User feedback and submissions

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or content (e.g., by email), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use that material to operate and improve the Site, unless we agree otherwise in writing. You represent that you have the right to grant this license.

9. Prohibited uses

You agree not to:

  • Violate any applicable law or regulation
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Site or servers
  • Attempt unauthorized access to systems or data
  • Use the Site to distribute malware or spam
  • Misrepresent your affiliation with us or the Site

10. Modifications

We may revise these Terms at any time. The “Last Updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent allowed by law.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by applicable laws, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would require applying another jurisdiction’s laws, except where mandatory consumer protections in your country apply.
