Terms of Service

Terms for using MealScratch.

Effective date: October 9, 2026

Acceptance of terms

By using MealScratch, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

The service

MealScratch plans meals around a grocery budget, builds shopping lists, and estimates costs from public price data and the prices you record. Features may change over time as the service is improved.

Your account

  • You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity under your account.
  • You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
  • You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Edit Profile → Delete account).

Prices and estimates

Prices, totals, budgets, and savings in MealScratch are estimates. Actual prices vary by store, location, date, brand, and sales. Always check the price at the store and on your receipt.

Food, allergies, and dietary needs

Dietary and allergy settings help filter recipes, but they rely on ingredient names and can't account for every product or brand. Always read product labels and follow your own judgment or your doctor's advice. Recipes are general cooking suggestions; follow safe food handling and cooking temperatures.

What you add

You keep ownership of the recipes, prices, and other content you add. You allow us to store and use it to provide the service to you, and, unless you turn off Share prices anonymously, to use the prices and receipt names you record combined with other households' as described in the Privacy Policy. Only add content you have the right to use.

Acceptable use

  • Do not misuse, disrupt, or attempt unauthorized access to the service.
  • Do not enter false prices or data meant to mislead other shoppers' estimates.
  • Do not use the service for unlawful activity.

Disclaimers

MealScratch is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation or error-free results.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, MealScratch is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the service.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if these terms are violated or if required for security or legal reasons. You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised terms.
