You are also responsible for notifying us of any changes to such information, in order to ensure that your Fresco User Profile is up-to-date. We will protect your account using an email address and password system.

We may change the App in order to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements, and/or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example, to address a security threat. These changes will not affect your use of the App. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any major changes. We may change the Services available through the Platform from time to time, in such ways as adding or removing App features.

After uploading a recipe using our web application, Fresco Creator, you have the option to share your own recipes, and recipes from other online or print sources, with our community of users, in the Fresco recipe format.
If you wish to submit a recipe for publication in the App, we will require an image of that recipe as a component of the submission. By submitting a recipe, you verify that you have the right to reproduce that image.
If we have reason to believe that you do not own the image, we will contact you by email (that which you have used to register your Fresco User Profile), and the recipe will not be published in the app until you confirm.
A published recipe will be available for use by all users of the Fresco Platform and will be attributed to your Fresco User Profile.
Fresco reserves the right to share recipes you submit to the app on our social media platforms and in email marketing.
In addition to creating and publishing User Generated Content, your Fresco User Profile allows you to leave reviews and comments on recipes within the app. By doing so, you agree to act in accordance with our community guidelines, published in full here.
We will remove your content from the app immediately upon discovering a violation of these guidelines, which include the prohibition of plagiarism, derogatory comments toward other users, spam, and the use of profane language.
You acknowledge and agree that the operation of the App is dependent upon the proper and effective functioning of the internet and other third party equipment and services, and that we do not guarantee and will not be liable for these in any way.
If your download of the App is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. We will not be liable for delays caused by the event.
We require certain information from you so you can download the App, for example, registration information. This will have been stated in the description of the App on our website, the Apple App Store, or the Android Play Store. Even if you download the app to your device, without this information, we will not provide you access to the App’s Services.
We do not guarantee that our Platform, or any content on it, will always be available or be uninterrupted. We may suspend or withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of our app, website, or web application for business or operational reasons.

We will only give your personal information to other parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so. Access our privacy policy in full here.
Nobody else has any rights under these Terms of Use. This Terms of Use are between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of them.
No transfer of rights. You will not be entitled to assign, transfer, charge, hold on trust or deal in any other manner with any of your rights or, where appropriate, obligations under these Terms of Use.
Links. From time to time, the App may include links to third party websites, for example, to direct you to the source of a given recipe. These links are provided for your convenience only and do not signify that we endorse such third party websites.

If a court finds part of these Terms of Use illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these Terms of Use operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, or unenforceable, the unlawful or unenforceable term shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Use and the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing these Terms of Use, we can still enforce them later. If we do not immediately claim any specific action from you under these Terms of Use, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your failure to comply with them, this will not prevent us from doing so at a later date.
These terms are governed by the Laws of the Republic of Ireland and you can bring legal proceedings thereto.
