1. Agreement
By downloading, accessing, or using GATHER, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the application.
2. Local-First Data Storage
GATHER stores your recipes, photos, and cookbook data entirely on your own device and browser storage. Mahj & Mischief does not host, maintain, monitor, or retain a copy of your recipe data, images, or your backup files.
3. Your Backup Responsibility
You must download your own cookbook frequently. You are solely responsible for regularly utilizing the “Back Up to File” feature and securely storing those backup files on your own hardware or preferred cloud storage. If your browser, device, storage, app cache, operating system, or local files are cleared, replaced, damaged, lost, stolen, reset, updated, or otherwise rendered unavailable, your cookbook data may be permanently lost unless you have maintained a separate, recent backup file.
4. Not For Critical, Emergency, Medical, Legal, Financial, Or Life-Saving Use
This application functions solely as a recipe collector, meal planner, and culinary organization tool. It is not designed or intended for emergency response, medical care (including strict allergy or dietary tracking for health conditions), legal compliance, financial recordkeeping, safety-critical reminders, life-saving information, or any situation where data loss, delay, or error could result in personal injury, death, or severe physical or property damage.
5. No Warranty (“As-Is” Clause)
The app is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. Mahj & Mischief explicitly disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation. We do not guarantee that the app will be error-free, secure, or that data will never be lost.
6. Limitation Of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Mahj & Mischief and its owners, members, employees, contractors, partners, and affiliates will not be liable for lost data, lost profits, lost opportunities, business interruption, device problems, backup failures, browser storage issues, or any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the app. In no event shall our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms exceed the amount you paid to download or purchase the app.
7. User Content
You retain all rights to, and are solely responsible for, the content you enter into the app, including recipes, text, images, categories, notes, ingredients, shopping lists, and backups. You agree not to use the app to create, store, or promote unlawful, harmful, infringing, abusive, or otherwise unauthorized content.
8. Updates And Changes
The app may evolve over time, which may include modifications to features, design, functionality, prompts, storage behavior, or backup tools. Updates may require you to refresh, reinstall, or accept updated terms to continue using the app.
9. Usage Analytics
The app may use basic website analytics to understand visits, device/browser type, and general app usage. Analytics are separate from your cookbook content. Mahj & Mischief does not use analytics to read, host, monitor, or retain your personal recipes, notes, images, shopping lists, or backup files.
10. Governing Law
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Venue for disputes will be in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
