These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of verdantkitchen.example (the "Site"), operated by Verdant Kitchen ("we," "us," or "our"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
Use of the site
You may browse and use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to: scrape or bulk-copy content for republication, attempt to disrupt or overload the Site, misuse the contact form or comment sections (spam, harassment, impersonation), or use the Site in a way that violates any applicable law.
Recipe and content disclaimer
Recipes, guides, and reviews on this Site are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. We test our recipes, but cooking results can vary based on ingredients, equipment, and technique. We make no guarantees about outcomes.
This Site does not provide medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. Nutritional information, where given, is an estimate. If you have food allergies, intolerances, or a medical condition, verify ingredients independently and consult a qualified healthcare professional before making dietary changes.
Product reviews
Our product reviews and rankings reflect the genuine opinions of our team based on our own testing. We aim to be accurate and unbiased, but reviews are inherently subjective, and products, pricing, and formulations can change after a review is published.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise noted, all text, graphics, and original photography on the Site are owned by Verdant Kitchen or used with permission. You may share links to our content and quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back to the original page. You may not republish full articles or recipes without our prior written permission.
User-submitted content
If you submit a comment, tip, or message through the Site (for example, via the contact form or a recipe comment), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, edit, and publish that content in connection with operating the Site. Don't submit anything you don't have the right to share.
Advertising
The Site displays advertising served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense or a comparable partner). We don't control the specific ads shown and aren't responsible for the content, products, or services advertised by third parties.
Affiliate disclosure
Verdant Kitchen participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means some links on this Site (for example, in product reviews and buying guides) are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.
We only recommend products we've genuinely tested and would suggest regardless of commission. Affiliate relationships never determine our rankings or opinions. Where a product review includes an affiliate relationship, we say so directly in that article.
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials.
Newsletter
By subscribing to our newsletter, you consent to receive periodic emails from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle subscriber data.
Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites (retailers, social media, other blogs). We aren't responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites, and linking to them doesn't imply endorsement of everything on them.
Disclaimer of warranties & limitation of liability
The Site is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Verdant Kitchen is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site, including any cooking outcomes, allergic reactions, or purchases made through affiliate links.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when changes are made.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where Verdant Kitchen operates, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
