This is a translation for convenience only. The Dutch version is the binding and legally authoritative version. In case of any discrepancy, the Dutch version prevails.
These General Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to: the SousChef® website(s) (souschef.app and subdomains), SousChef® web environments, the SousChef® mobile application, and the use of SousChef® accounts. SousChef® B.V. ("SousChef®"), registered at Europalaan 100, 3526 KS Utrecht, the Netherlands, offers this service. By using the website(s), web environments, apps or account functionality, you agree to these Terms.
SousChef® may modify these Terms. In the event of material changes, we will inform users with an account in advance via the app or by email, at least 30 days before the change takes effect. If you do not agree with a change, you can terminate your account before the change takes effect. By continuing to use the service after the effective date, you accept the modified Terms.
You have the right to use SousChef®'s websites, web environments and apps for personal, non-commercial purposes, unless expressly stated otherwise. It is prohibited to: disrupt or interfere with the normal operation of the services; infringe on the rights of SousChef® or third parties; use unauthorised software, bots, spiders or other means to gain access or collect data; or make commercial use of the websites, web environments or apps without written permission from SousChef®.
If you create a SousChef® account: you provide correct, current and complete information; your login credentials are strictly personal and non-transferable; you are responsible for all activities carried out via your account; you inform us immediately in the event of (suspected) unauthorised use of your account; you can delete your account yourself at any time via the settings in the app, after which your data is handled as described in the Privacy Statement; SousChef® may block or terminate your account in the event of a breach of these Terms.
To create a SousChef® account you must be at least 16 years old. If you are under 16, you may only create an account with the permission of a parent or legal guardian.
If you add content to SousChef® (such as photos, recipes, notes or reviews), you remain the owner of it. You grant SousChef® a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, store, edit, display and distribute this content for the purpose of offering, improving and promoting the service, including training and improving features that use artificial intelligence. You warrant that you are entitled to share the content and that it does not infringe the rights of third parties. SousChef® may remove content that breaches these Terms or the law.
Recipes, ingredient information and nutritional information in SousChef® are for information purposes only. SousChef® does not guarantee their accuracy or completeness. You are responsible for checking ingredients for allergens and dietary requirements, for safe preparation and for assessing whether a recipe is suitable for you. In the event of allergies or medical conditions, always consult the product packaging or a professional.
SousChef® may temporarily restrict or terminate access to the website(s), web environments, apps or (parts of) the service, and/or block an account when: these Terms are breached; there is (suspected) misuse, fraud, unauthorised access or security risks; this is necessary to protect SousChef®, users or third parties; this is required under law or regulation or a binding order from a competent authority. Where reasonably possible, SousChef® will inform the user. These measures are without prejudice to SousChef®'s other rights and remedies.
SousChef® may modify, expand or discontinue the service and its features at any time. Where reasonably possible, we will inform users in advance about the discontinuation of material parts. Because the service is offered free of charge, this does not give rise to any right to compensation.
All rights relating to trademarks, content, texts, images and software on the websites, web environments and apps belong to SousChef® or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you the right to use them beyond what is permitted by law or expressly permitted by SousChef®.
Our websites and apps may contain links to third-party websites or services. This does not mean that SousChef® endorses these websites or is responsible for them. SousChef® is not liable for the content or use of such third-party websites or services.
Personal data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Statement. This privacy statement describes which personal data we process, why we do so, on which legal basis, for how long we retain it and with which third parties we work. For the use of cookies and similar techniques on the website and web environments, please refer to the Cookie Statement.
Despite our care, information on our websites, web environments and apps may be incomplete or not current. SousChef® does not guarantee that the service is continuously, error-free or uninterruptedly available. SousChef® excludes all liability for direct or indirect damage related to the use of websites, web environments, apps or information thereon, to the extent permitted by law. These limitations do not apply to the extent that damage results from intent or wilful recklessness on the part of SousChef®, or to the extent that liability cannot be excluded under mandatory law.
These Terms and all disputes arising from them are governed by Dutch law. Disputes will be submitted to the competent court in Midden-Nederland, unless mandatory law provides otherwise. If you are a consumer, you also have the option, for a period of one month after SousChef® has invoked this clause in writing, to choose the court that has jurisdiction under the law.
