Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Rouxbarb iOS application and website at rouxbarb.com (together, the "Platform"), operated by Rouxbarb ApS, CVR no. 46028244, Vesterbrogade 74, 1620 København V, Denmark ("Rouxbarb ApS", "we", "us", or "our").

By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Platform.

Please read these Terms carefully. They contain important information about your rights, obligations, and how disputes are resolved. Nothing in these Terms affects the mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer under Danish or EU law, and where any provision of these Terms conflicts with those rights, your mandatory rights prevail.

1. Definitions

1.1 "Content" means any text, images, photographs, videos, recipes, experience posts, comments, or other materials uploaded, posted, or otherwise made available on the Platform by any User.

1.2 "Cook Mode" means the step-by-step, in-kitchen cooking interface within the Platform. Cook Mode can be operated hands-free when the Kitchen Assistant is active.

1.3 "Creator" means a User who has been accepted into the Rouxbarb Creator Program and is eligible to publish content and receive payments through the Platform.

1.4 "Devour Coin" (also written "DevourCoin") means the in-app virtual currency that End-Users may acquire and use to unlock premium content and tip Creators directly. References to Devour Coins in these Terms apply equally regardless of which spelling is used in the Platform, our communications, or purchase receipts.

1.5 "End-User" means a User who accesses the Platform primarily to discover, follow, and engage with Creator content.

1.6 "Experience" means a food-related post combining photo, description, music, place tag, and rating — distinct from a structured recipe.

1.8 "Plan Mode" means the full recipe reference view displaying gallery, ingredients, directions, notes, and timing information.

1.9 "Premium Recipe" means a recipe published by a Creator that is accessible to an End-User only after it has been unlocked using Devour Coins. References to Premium Recipes in these Terms apply equally to other premium content a Creator may publish, such as premium Experiences.

2.4 We may suspend or terminate your account where we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or where your account poses a security risk. Except where we are prevented from doing so by law or where doing so would compromise security or an ongoing investigation, we will give you a statement of the reasons for any such suspension or termination, and you may challenge the decision through the contact route in Section 2.3.

3. The Platform

3.1 Rouxbarb is a social food platform that enables Creators to publish recipes and Experiences, build a following, and earn income directly from their content. End-Users can discover, save, and cook from Creator content, access step-by-step guidance through Cook Mode and Plan Mode, receive real-time voice assistance from the Kitchen Assistant, and collaborate on shared shopping lists.

3.2 The Platform is entirely ad-free. Rouxbarb ApS does not display third-party advertising and does not sell User data to advertisers.

3.3 We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform at any time. We will make reasonable efforts to notify Users of material changes that affect their use of the Platform.

3.4 The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. Nothing in this Section 3.4 excludes or limits any mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer, including any rights relating to the conformity of digital content or digital services under Danish law implementing Directive (EU) 2019/770.

4. User Conduct

4.1 You agree to use the Platform in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including EU and Danish law. You shall not:

4.3 You also agree to comply with our Community Guidelines, available at rouxbarb.com/legal/guidelines, which set out additional standards for content, conduct, and platform etiquette and may be updated from time to time to address emerging issues. The Community Guidelines are incorporated into and form part of these Terms by reference, and a breach of the Community Guidelines may result in the actions described in Section 5.4.

5. User-Generated Content

5.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of all User Content that you create and upload to the Platform. Rouxbarb ApS does not claim ownership over your User Content.

5.2 License Grant

By uploading or submitting User Content to the Platform, you grant Rouxbarb ApS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and make available your User Content solely in connection with operating, promoting, and improving the Platform. Modifications are limited to formatting and display purposes only. This license continues for as long as the User Content remains on the Platform and for a reasonable period thereafter to allow removal from caches and backups.

You also grant other Users of the Platform a non-exclusive license to view, save for personal use, and share your User Content as enabled by the Platform's features.

5.3 Representations and Warranties

You represent and warrant that:

(a) you own or have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to upload and share all User Content you submit;

(b) your User Content does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party's intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights; and

5.4 Content Moderation and Redress

5.4.1 Rouxbarb ApS may, but is not obligated to, review, monitor, or moderate User Content. We use a combination of automated systems and human review to detect and act on potentially violating Content. We may remove or disable access to any User Content that we determine violates these Terms or is otherwise unlawful or objectionable.

5.4.2 Rouxbarb ApS provides reporting tools that allow Users to notify us of Content they believe to be illegal or in breach of these Terms — through the in-app reporting options available on recipes, Experiences, and comments, or by contacting us at legal@rouxbarb.com. We handle notices of illegal content in a manner consistent with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act).

5.4.3 Where we remove or disable access to your Content, suspend or terminate your account, restrict your ability to monetize, or otherwise restrict your use of the Platform, we will provide you with a clear and specific statement of reasons in accordance with Article 17 of the Digital Services Act, except where we are legally prevented from doing so.

5.4.4 We operate an internal complaint-handling system, available free of charge, through which you may challenge a moderation decision described in Section 5.4.3 for a period of at least six months from the date of the decision. Complaints may be submitted to legal@rouxbarb.com and are reviewed under human supervision.

5.4.5 You may also be entitled to select a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body to resolve disputes concerning our moderation decisions in accordance with Article 21 of the Digital Services Act. This does not affect your right to bring proceedings before a court.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 All rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform (excluding User Content), including its design, software, logos, trademarks, text, graphics, and other proprietary materials, are owned by or licensed to Rouxbarb ApS and are protected by Danish and international intellectual property laws.

6.2 Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use Rouxbarb ApS's trademarks, logos, or branding without our prior written consent.

6.3 Recipes as factual instructions (lists of ingredients and basic preparation steps) are generally not protectable by copyright. However, original creative expression in recipes — including personal commentary, detailed descriptions, original photographs, and unique presentation — may be protected. Creators are responsible for ensuring their Content does not infringe the rights of others.

7. Creator Program and Payments

7.1 Creator Eligibility

Entry. The Rouxbarb Creator Program is invitation-only. Invitations are issued following review of a Creator's application or profile. We do not guarantee that any applicant will be accepted into the Creator Program.

Requirements. To be eligible to participate as a Creator and to remain eligible, you must at all times:

(a) be at least 18 years of age;

(b) have a valid, active Rouxbarb user account in good standing;

(c) complete Stripe Connect onboarding, including Stripe's Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process, before any payouts can be issued;

(d) have the legal right to publish and monetize the content you upload, including all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions in respect of any third-party materials; and

(e) comply with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including those relating to food information, allergen labeling, advertising disclosure, and taxation of self-employment income.

Suspension and termination. Where we restrict, suspend, or terminate your participation in the Creator Program, we will act in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 (the Platform-to-Business Regulation). In particular:

(a) where we restrict or suspend your Creator status, we will give you a statement of the reasons for that decision, on a durable medium, at the latest at the time the restriction or suspension takes effect;

(b) where we terminate your Creator status, we will give you a statement of reasons on a durable medium at least 30 days before the termination takes effect, save where a shorter period is required by a legal or regulatory obligation, where we exercise a right under imperative law, or where you have repeatedly breached these Terms; and

Changes to the program. Where we amend these Terms as they apply to Creators, we will give affected Creators notice on a durable medium at least 15 days before the changes take effect (or a longer period where required to allow technical or commercial adaptations), and you may terminate your participation before the changes take effect. Where changes to eligibility criteria would affect existing Creators, we will notify affected Creators in advance and allow a reasonable period to come into compliance before any suspension is applied.

Internal complaint-handling. We operate an internal complaint-handling system, free of charge, through which Creators may lodge complaints concerning our decisions, alleged non-compliance with the Platform-to-Business Regulation, or technological or contractual issues, by contacting legal@rouxbarb.com. We will consider complaints and communicate the outcome within a reasonable period.

7.2 Revenue Share

Creator earnings on the Platform are generated through Devour Coin transactions (Premium Content unlocks and tips) and through Creator Subscriptions (see below). The value of one qualifying ("paid") Devour Coin is fixed at EUR 0.0035. On every Devour Coin transaction, the revenue is distributed as follows:

(a) Apple: 30% — deducted by Apple as an in-app purchase fee at the point of Devour Coin acquisition by the End-User;

(b) Rouxbarb ApS: 35% — platform margin retained by Rouxbarb ApS; and

(c) Creator: 35% — paid to the Creator at EUR 0.0035 per qualifying Devour Coin, locked at the rate applicable at the time of the transaction.

Only "paid" Devour Coins — those an End-User has acquired through a paid in-app purchase or subscription — generate Creator earnings. Promotional or bonus Devour Coins (including signup bonuses, campaign grants, and any bonus Coins included in a Devour Coin bundle) do not generate Creator earnings; they are a promotional cost borne by Rouxbarb ApS.

Creator Subscription earnings. Creator Subscriptions are billed by Apple as auto-renewing subscriptions (see Section 8.2). For each active subscriber, the Creator earns a fixed amount in EUR per subscriber per monthly billing period, determined by the subscription's price tier. For the standard tier (reference price EUR 7.00 excluding applicable taxes), the Creator earning is EUR 2.45 per subscriber per month — equivalent to the 35% Creator share applied to the tier's reference price. Local retail prices vary by storefront, currency and applicable taxes; the Creator earning for a tier is fixed in EUR and does not vary with the subscriber's location. Changes to tier prices or Creator earnings follow the notice terms in Section 7.1 and do not affect earnings already accrued.

The Devour Coin value and revenue split are subject to change on the notice described in Section 7.1 (Changes to the program). Changes do not affect Coins already earned by Creators at the time of the change.

7.3 End-User Purchase Types

Creators may make content available to End-Users, and End-Users may support Creators, through the following mechanisms:

(a) Premium Content Unlock — End-Users may unlock individual Premium Recipes (and other premium content, such as premium Experiences) by spending Devour Coins. The Devour Coin price of premium content is set by Rouxbarb ApS (currently 200 Devour Coins per item). Creators may not set individual content prices independently.

(b) Creator Subscription — a monthly auto-renewing subscription to an individual Creator, purchased through Apple In-App Purchase at the local price displayed at the time of purchase. A Creator Subscription grants access to all of that Creator's Premium Content for as long as it remains active. Creator Subscriptions are not purchased with Devour Coins. Subscriptions are personal to the subscribed Creator's Table and do not provide access to any other Creator's content.

(c) Devour Coin Tips — End-Users may tip Creators directly using Devour Coins, including on free content. Tip amounts are set by the End-User, within any minimum and maximum limits set by Rouxbarb ApS (currently between 10 and 10,000 Devour Coins per tip). Devour Coin tip revenue is subject to the earnings terms in Section 7.2.

Rouxbarb ApS reserves the right to adjust the Devour Coin pricing of premium content, and the pricing of Creator Subscriptions, on reasonable notice.

7.4 Payouts

Creator earnings are paid out periodically, and ordinarily at least monthly. Payouts are issued to Creators who have an available balance of €10.00 or more at the time of a payout run. Balances below €10.00 roll over to the next payout run. Payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. To receive payouts, Creators must complete identity verification as required by Stripe's Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Rouxbarb ApS is not responsible for delays caused by incomplete or failed KYC verification.

Payouts are calculated on net revenue after deduction of applicable payment processing fees. Rouxbarb ApS will provide Creators with earnings summaries through the Creator dashboard.

7.5 Content and Buyer Access

Creators retain ownership of all content they publish on Rouxbarb, subject to the license granted in Section 5.2. Creators may remove their content from the Platform or delete their account at any time. However, the following protections apply to End-Users who have made purchases:

(a) Purchased Premium Recipes — where an End-User has purchased a Premium Recipe, that recipe remains permanently accessible to the purchasing End-User regardless of whether the Creator subsequently removes the recipe, closes their Table, or deletes their account. A purchased Premium Recipe is a digital product and the End-User's right to access it is not contingent on the Creator's continued presence on the Platform. The recipe also remains attributed to its Creator: the Creator's name and profile image, as they appeared at the time of purchase, are preserved with the recipe as part of what the End-User acquired, and this attribution is retained even after the Creator deletes their account (see Section 7.9). Rouxbarb ApS will retain a copy of all purchased Premium Recipes, together with their Creator attribution, for the purpose of fulfilling this access obligation, and will not offer, sell, or otherwise make that content available for new purchase by any other User once the Creator has departed the Platform.

(b) Creator Subscriptions — where an End-User holds an active Creator Subscription at the time a Creator removes their content or deletes their account, active Creator Subscriptions maintain access to the departed Creator's retained Premium Content through the end of the current billing period. Because Creator Subscriptions are billed by Apple, only you can cancel them: we will notify you promptly that the Creator has left and that your subscription should be cancelled in your Apple ID subscription settings. If a renewal charge nonetheless occurs before you cancel, Rouxbarb ApS will credit your account with promotional Devour Coins of equivalent face value. Promotional Coins credited under this Section may be spent on the Platform but are not refundable on account closure (Section 8.1). Because these credits are promotional, your primary remedy for the renewal charge itself is a refund from Apple under Apple's refund policies, and we will assist you in directing your request to Apple.

(c) Coin-based tips — Devour Coin tips are non-refundable once sent to a Creator, save where a refund is required by applicable law. Tips are a direct transfer of value and are not associated with access to any specific content.

Once a Creator departs the Platform, Rouxbarb ApS will not make any new sale of, or earn any further revenue from, that Creator's content; the content is withdrawn from discovery and can no longer be purchased or subscribed to by new End-Users. Both Rouxbarb ApS and the Creator nonetheless remain obligated to honor the access rights of End-Users who have already purchased or subscribed. A Creator's agreement to these Terms includes their consent that content already sold to End-Users, together with its Creator attribution, will be preserved by Rouxbarb ApS for the continued benefit of those End-Users notwithstanding the Creator's departure.

7.6 Prohibited Conduct

Creators may not: artificially inflate purchase or tip counts; offer off-platform payments in exchange for subscriptions or tips; publish content that violates these Terms or applicable law; or misrepresent the nature, quality, or origin of content offered for purchase.

7.7 Sponsored Content and Affiliate Links

Creators may bring their own brand partnerships and affiliate relationships onto the Platform. All sponsored content and affiliate links must be clearly disclosed in accordance with applicable advertising law and the Platform's disclosure guidelines. Rouxbarb ApS does not take a commission on Creator-sourced brand partnerships or affiliate revenue. Rouxbarb ApS does not display third-party advertising on the Platform.

7.8 Creator Indemnity

Creators acknowledge that Rouxbarb ApS does not verify, endorse, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, safety, or compliance of Creator Content, including in respect of ingredients, allergens, nutritional claims, portion sizes, and food preparation instructions. Creators are solely responsible for ensuring their content is accurate, lawful, and compliant with applicable food information and labelling regulations. Creators agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rouxbarb ApS, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) any inaccuracy, error, or omission in Creator Content, including allergen errors, misleading health or nutritional claims, or unsafe recipe instructions; (b) any infringement of third-party intellectual property rights by Creator Content; or (c) any breach by the Creator of these Terms or applicable law.

7.9 Creator Credit and Attribution

A significant part of the value of a Premium Recipe to an End-User is the identity, reputation, and credibility of the Creator behind it — an End-User purchases not merely a set of instructions but a recipe by a particular Creator. To protect that value for the End-Users who have paid for it, by participating in the Creator Program and offering content for sale you grant Rouxbarb ApS a royalty-free license to retain and display your Creator credit — your Creator name (display name and handle) and profile image, as they appeared at the time of the relevant sale — as attribution on content you have sold, and to continue doing so after you delete your account, in each case only for so long as, and to the extent, necessary for the purpose described in this Section 7.9.

This Creator credit is retained only on content that End-Users have actually purchased or accessed under a subscription. It is preserved as a fixed record, as it appeared at the time of the sale — it is not a live or updatable profile, does not link to an active account, and does not imply your continued presence on, or endorsement of, the Platform. It exists solely to maintain the integrity of what those End-Users acquired. This license does not entitle Rouxbarb ApS to make any new commercial use of your identity or to offer your content for new sale after your departure (see Section 7.5).

Deleting your account erases your personal account data as described in the Privacy Policy. The retention of this Creator credit on already-sold content is a deliberate, disclosed exception to that erasure, retained on the legal bases set out in the Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree to this retention as a condition of monetizing content through the Creator Program.

7.10 Creator Referral Program

Rouxbarb ApS may invite selected Creators to take part in a referral program under which a one-time reward is credited to the Creator when a recently created User account makes its first qualifying purchase attributable to that Creator. The current reward amount, the qualifying purchase types, and the attribution conditions are set out in the Bounty Program Terms.

Participation is by invitation only and requires your separate acceptance of the Bounty Program Terms. No reward accrues to a Creator who has not accepted them, and where a purchase is attributable to a Creator who is not a participant, no reward arises and the attribution is not transferable to any other Creator. Participation is personal to the invited Creator and is not transferable.

A reward under this Section is payout-eligible Creator earnings and is paid out in accordance with Section 7.4, notwithstanding that it does not arise from a Devour Coin transaction or a Creator Subscription. You are responsible for any tax arising on rewards, as with all Creator earnings. Participation creates no employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture between you and Rouxbarb ApS.

Attribution is determined by Rouxbarb ApS from its own records of activity on the Platform, acting reasonably. Rouxbarb ApS does not track Users across other applications, websites, or advertising networks for this purpose, and a reward reflects a qualifying purchase rather than an app install or download.

Where the qualifying purchase is refunded, the reward is reversed. Rouxbarb ApS may also withhold or void a reward, and remove you from the program, where it reasonably believes the qualifying activity was artificial or fraudulent, or breached these Terms or the Bounty Program Terms — including where a Creator generates or attempts to generate a reward by purchasing from or tipping their own content through another account, by coordinating small or repeated transactions for that purpose, or by arranging for another person to make a purchase principally in order to trigger a reward. Where a reward that has been reversed or voided has not yet been paid out, we deduct it from your pending balance; where it has already been paid out, we will not ask you to repay it, and the amount is instead offset against your future earnings.

You must not misrepresent the program to your audience, including by promising your audience rewards or benefits that Rouxbarb ApS does not offer, or by holding yourself out as acting on behalf of Rouxbarb ApS.

Where we withhold or void a reward, or remove you from the program, we will give you a statement of the reasons in accordance with Section 7.1, and you may challenge the decision through the internal complaint-handling system described there.

Rouxbarb ApS may modify, pause, or discontinue the program in accordance with Section 7.1; discontinuation does not affect rewards already properly earned and paid.

8. Paid Products and Billing

8.1 Paid Products

Rouxbarb ApS offers the following paid products, purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system:

(a) Devour Coin Bundles — End-Users may acquire Devour Coins by purchasing a one-time Devour Coin pack or by subscribing to an auto-renewing monthly Devour Coin plan. Each bundle grants a specified number of Devour Coins, which may include promotional bonus Coins. Prices are displayed in the app at the point of purchase and may vary by region and applicable taxes.

(b) Premium Creator Setup Fee — a one-time fee paid by a User to activate a Premium Creator account, which unlocks Stripe Connect onboarding and the Creator earnings dashboard. The current fee is displayed in the app at the point of purchase.

(c) Creator Subscriptions — monthly auto-renewing subscriptions to individual Creators, purchased through Apple In-App Purchase (see Sections 7.3(b) and 8.2).

End-Users use the Devour Coins they acquire to unlock premium content and tip Creators, as described in Section 7.3. When you unlock a Premium Recipe, you receive a permanent, personal, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable license to access and use that recipe for personal, non-commercial cooking purposes only; this does not transfer any intellectual property rights in the recipe to you. These in-app Devour Coin spends are deductions from your Devour Coin balance and are not separate Apple transactions.

Devour Coins have a fixed platform value of EUR 0.0035 per qualifying Coin as described in Section 7.2. Devour Coins may not be exchanged for cash and have no monetary value outside the Platform. Devour Coins are non-transferable and non-refundable except where required by applicable law. Where you close your account, we will refund the monetary value (at EUR 0.0035 per qualifying Coin) of any unused paid Devour Coins remaining in your balance, save that promotional or bonus Coins are not refundable and no refund is made below a de minimis balance of EUR 1.00.

8.2 Billing and Payment Processing

All Devour Coin purchases, Creator Subscriptions, and the Premium Creator Setup Fee are processed through Apple's in-app purchase system (Apple IAP) and are subject to Apple's own terms and conditions, which apply independently of these Terms. By making a purchase, you agree to Apple's applicable terms. Rouxbarb ApS does not directly process or store your payment card details.

Auto-renewing Devour Coin subscriptions are billed by Apple on a recurring monthly basis and will continue until you cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings. Creator Subscriptions are auto-renewing monthly subscriptions billed by Apple through your Apple ID, subject to Apple's terms. Premium Content unlocks and tips are funded by deductions from your Devour Coin balance and involve no separate billing. If a Creator Subscription renewal payment fails, Apple may retry the payment for a limited grace period during which your access continues; if payment is not completed, the subscription expires.

8.3 Cancellation

You may cancel an auto-renewing Devour Coin subscription at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Creator Subscriptions are cancellable at any time in your Apple ID subscription settings (reachable from the Manage Subscriptions screen in the app); cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access until then. Rouxbarb ApS does not issue partial refunds for unused subscription periods or for spent Devour Coins, except where required by applicable law or Apple's refund policies.

8.4 Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer, you have a statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days for certain digital content and services under the Danish Consumer Contracts Act (Forbrugeraftaleloven) and applicable EU consumer law. Where you request that we begin performance (including the supply of digital content not on a tangible medium) before the withdrawal period expires, you will be asked, before performance begins, to: (a) give your prior express consent to performance beginning during the withdrawal period; and (b) acknowledge that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal once performance has begun, and we will provide you with confirmation of that consent and acknowledgement on a durable medium. Where these conditions are met, spending Devour Coins to unlock a Premium Recipe or tip a Creator begins performance at your express request and, to the extent permitted by law, your right of withdrawal is thereby lost.

For purchases made through Apple IAP (including Creator Subscriptions), Apple's own refund and withdrawal policies also apply. Requests for refunds on Apple IAP purchases should be directed to Apple through your Apple ID account. Rouxbarb ApS will cooperate with any refund determination made by Apple.

8.5 Price Changes

Rouxbarb ApS reserves the right to adjust pricing for paid products, including Devour Coin bundle prices, the Devour Coin cost of premium content, and Creator Subscription prices. Where a price change affects your active Creator Subscription or an auto-renewing Devour Coin subscription, we will provide advance notice through the app or by email, and the new price will apply only from the start of the next billing period after the notice period. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel before the change takes effect, and the change will not apply to you unless you continue the subscription after the notice period. For Creator Subscriptions, price changes apply to new subscribers from the date of change; existing subscribers retain their current price unless and until notified of an increase in accordance with Apple's subscription price-change procedures, under which certain increases require your consent.

8.6 Access After Creator Departure

Where a Creator removes their content, closes their Table, or deletes their account, Section 7.5 applies. For purchased Premium Recipes, access is permanent and guaranteed regardless of the Creator's account status — Rouxbarb ApS retains a copy of all purchased Premium Recipes, together with their original Creator attribution (see Section 7.9), for this purpose, and does not offer a departed Creator's content for any new sale. For active Creator Subscriptions, Section 7.5(b) applies: access continues through the end of the current billing period; because Creator Subscriptions are billed by Apple, they can only be cancelled by you in your Apple ID subscription settings, and any renewal charge occurring before you cancel is made good as described in Section 7.5(b). Rouxbarb ApS will notify affected End-Users promptly of any Creator departure that affects their purchases or active subscriptions.

8.7 Purchased Content: Permitted Use and Restrictions

When you purchase a Premium Recipe, you are purchasing a personal license to access and use that recipe for your own private, non-commercial cooking purposes. You are not purchasing the recipe itself, its copyright, or any other intellectual property rights associated with it.

You may not, without the express written consent of the Creator and Rouxbarb ApS:

(a) reproduce, copy, or distribute a purchased Premium Recipe to any third party, whether for commercial gain or otherwise;

(b) publish, repost, or make a purchased Premium Recipe publicly available on any platform, website, social media account, or other medium;

(d) use a purchased Premium Recipe as the basis for a competing commercial product, cookbook, or content offering without the Creator's express permission; or

(e) remove, obscure, or alter any attribution, credit, or copyright notice associated with a purchased Premium Recipe.

Personal use includes cooking the recipe at home, referencing it for personal meal planning, and sharing the name and general concept of the dish with friends and family. It does not include republishing the recipe text, ingredient list, or method in any form accessible to third parties.

Rouxbarb ApS reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to purchased content where a user is found to be in breach of these restrictions. Creators whose content has been redistributed in breach of these Terms retain their right to pursue independent legal remedies.

8.8 Apple App Store — Acknowledgements

If you access the Platform via the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply and form part of the agreement between you and Rouxbarb ApS:

(a) This agreement is between you and Rouxbarb ApS only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). Rouxbarb ApS, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Platform and its content.

(b) Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Platform.

(c) In the event of any failure of the Platform to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the Platform to you, if applicable. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Platform, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Rouxbarb ApS's sole responsibility, as set out in these Terms.

(d) Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Platform or your possession and/or use of the Platform, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Platform fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

(e) In the event of any third-party claim that the Platform or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Rouxbarb ApS, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim, as set out in Section 12 (Indemnification).

(f) You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated by the US Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

(g) Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary of these Terms.

9. Kitchen Assistant and Voice Features

9.1 The Kitchen Assistant is a voice-activated AI cooking companion accessible within Cook Mode. It is activated by the wake word "Hey Rouxbarb," which is detected entirely on your device using a local model — no audio is sent to Rouxbarb ApS or any third party until the wake word is detected. Once activated, the Kitchen Assistant is designed to guide users through recipes, answer cooking questions, manage timers, and navigate steps hands-free, using a combination of on-device wake-word detection and cloud-based AI systems for conversation processing.

In addition to responding conversationally, the Kitchen Assistant can perform actions within the app on your behalf in response to your voice commands — such as setting or canceling timers, navigating between recipe steps, and reading out ingredient lists. These actions are limited to the active recipe and Cook Mode session and do not extend to account settings, purchases, or other parts of the Platform.

9.2 The Kitchen Assistant is provided for informational and assistive purposes only. Responses generated by the Kitchen Assistant are produced by AI systems and may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate for your specific circumstances. You should exercise your own judgement when following any guidance provided by the Kitchen Assistant.

9.3 By using the Kitchen Assistant, you consent to the processing of your voice input for the purpose of generating a response. Voice input is processed in real time, and the resulting transcripts are not retained beyond the active session — they are purged when the session ends. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

9.4 Rouxbarb ApS does not guarantee the availability, accuracy, or continuity of the Kitchen Assistant. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Kitchen Assistant at any time.

10. Disclaimers

10.1 No Nutritional or Medical Advice. Recipes, nutritional information, and cooking guidance shared on the Platform — whether from Creators or from the Kitchen Assistant — are for informational purposes only and do not constitute medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. You should consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your health needs.

10.2 Food Safety. Rouxbarb ApS does not guarantee the accuracy, safety, or suitability of any recipe or food preparation instructions shared on the Platform. Users prepare and consume food at their own risk.

10.3 Creator Content. Rouxbarb ApS does not endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for the accuracy or quality of Creator Content. Creators are solely responsible for the content they publish.

10.4 Third-Party Services. The Platform integrates with third-party services including Apple (IAP and authentication), Google (cloud infrastructure and AI), ElevenLabs (voice processing), Stripe (Creator payouts), and Sentry (error monitoring). Rouxbarb ApS does not control these services and is not responsible for their availability, terms, or conduct.

10.5 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rouxbarb ApS disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Nothing in this Section 10 excludes or limits any mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer under Danish or EU law, including rights relating to the conformity of digital content or digital services.

11. Limitation of Liability

11.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Rouxbarb ApS's total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Platform shall not exceed the greater of: (a) the total fees paid by you to Rouxbarb ApS in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) EUR 100.

11.2 In no event shall Rouxbarb ApS be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Platform.

11.3 Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude Rouxbarb ApS's liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable Danish or EU law.

11.4 If you are a consumer, the limitations and exclusions in Sections 11.1 and 11.2 apply only to the extent permitted by mandatory Danish and EU consumer law. They do not limit or exclude our liability for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, our liability under applicable product liability legislation, or any other liability that may not be limited or excluded as against a consumer, and nothing in this Section 11 affects your mandatory statutory rights or remedies.

12. Indemnification

12.1 If you use the Platform other than as a consumer (including as a Creator or other business user), you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rouxbarb ApS, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Platform; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

12.2 If you are a consumer, you are not subject to the indemnity in Section 12.1. You remain liable to Rouxbarb ApS for loss we suffer as a result of your breach of these Terms or your infringement of the rights of others, only to the extent provided under, and subject to the limits of, applicable Danish law.

13. Privacy, Data Protection and Personalised Recommendations

13.1 Your use of the Platform is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at rouxbarb.com/legal/privacy. The Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share your personal data in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation) and applicable Danish data protection legislation. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood our Privacy Policy.

13.2 To help you discover relevant content, the Platform personalizes the recipes and Experiences shown to you based on how you interact with it — for example, the content you view, save, like, and cook from — and, if you choose to provide them, the interests you declare in Settings → My Interests. Recommendations are generated by comparing content you have engaged with to other similar content, and by matching content to your declared interests where you have provided them. The main parameters of this recommender system, and the most significant factors determining what you are shown, are described in plain language in our Privacy Policy.

13.3 Behavior-based personalization is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating and improving the Platform. It works by matching content to content based on your engagement patterns; it does not require you to declare, and is not designed to identify, record, or make decisions based on, your religious or philosophical beliefs, health, or other special categories of personal data. As a safeguard, content categories capable of revealing such data (for example, religious dietary practices, belief-based diets, or allergy- and health-associated diets) are excluded from behavior-based inference entirely. You may object to behavior-based personalization at any time, free of charge, as described in our Privacy Policy.

13.4 Declaring interests is optional and is never required to use the Platform. Where an interest you declare may reveal special categories of personal data (such as religious or philosophical beliefs, or health information), we collect and use it only with your explicit consent, given on the My Interests screen after you are informed of this use, and solely to personalize the content shown to you. You may withdraw that consent at any time by removing the interest or clearing your interests in Settings, whereupon it is deleted and no longer used. Your acceptance of these Terms does not constitute that consent; it is given, and may be withdrawn, only through the My Interests screen, independently of these Terms. Apart from interests you declare in this way, we do not ask you to state dietary requirements, allergies, or food-related beliefs, and no such declared information is otherwise collected or stored by the Platform.

13.5 Rouxbarb ApS is the data controller for personal data processed through the Platform. Our lead supervisory authority is Datatilsynet, the Danish Data Protection Agency (datatilsynet.dk). For all data protection queries, contact us at privacy@rouxbarb.com.

14. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law

14.1 These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are habitually resident.

14.2 Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms that cannot be resolved amicably shall be submitted to the courts of Copenhagen, Denmark. If you are a consumer, this clause does not affect your right under mandatory law to bring proceedings in, and to be sued only in, the courts of your country of habitual residence, and nothing in this Section 14.2 deprives you of that protection.

14.3 If you are a consumer in the European Union, you may also be entitled to submit a dispute to the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We encourage you to contact us first at privacy@rouxbarb.com.

15. Termination

15.1 You may terminate your account at any time by using the account deletion feature on the Platform or by contacting us at privacy@rouxbarb.com. We will process your deletion request in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

15.2 Upon termination of your account: (a) your right to access and use the Platform will cease; (b) deleting your account does not cancel auto-renewing subscriptions billed by Apple (Devour Coin subscriptions and Creator Subscriptions) — you are responsible for cancelling these in your Apple ID subscription settings before or after deleting your account, and we will remind you of this during account deletion; (c) any accrued Creator earnings that meet or exceed the EUR 10.00 payout threshold will be paid to the Creator within 60 days of the termination date, and any accrued balance below the EUR 10.00 threshold at the time of termination will be paid to the Creator on the next scheduled payout run or, where no further payout run will occur, within 60 days of the termination date; and (d) we may delete your User Content from the Platform, subject to (i) the retention periods in our Privacy Policy and (ii) the preservation of content you have sold to End-Users, together with its Creator attribution, as described in Sections 7.5 and 7.9.

15.3 Sections 5.2, 6, 7.5, 7.9, 8.7, 10, 11, 12, and 14 shall survive termination of these Terms.

16. Changes to These Terms

16.1 Rouxbarb ApS may modify these Terms from time to time. For material changes — including changes to pricing, revenue share, payment terms, or your legal rights — we will provide reasonable advance notice before the changes take effect, by in-app notification and, where practicable, by email to the address registered on your account. Changes affecting Creators are subject to the notice period in Section 7.1 (Changes to the program). Non-material changes (such as corrections, clarifications, or updates to contact details) may take effect on posting.

16.2 For material changes, you will be given the opportunity to review the revised Terms and, where continued use of the Platform is treated as acceptance, that acceptance arises only from your continued use after the changes have taken effect and after you have been given clear notice of them. If you do not agree with the revised Terms, you may stop using the Platform and delete your account before the changes take effect. This Section does not affect any separate consent required under applicable law (such as consent to marketing communications, or the explicit consent for the processing of special category data described in Section 13), which is obtained and withdrawn independently of these Terms.

17. Miscellaneous

17.1 Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any supplemental terms you separately accept in order to take part in an optional program (including the Bounty Program Terms referred to in Section 7.10), constitute the entire agreement between you and Rouxbarb ApS regarding your use of the Platform and supersede all prior agreements and understandings on the same subject matter. Supplemental terms you have accepted remain in force according to their own terms and are not superseded by a later version of these Terms. Where supplemental terms conflict with these Terms, the supplemental terms govern, but only in respect of the program to which they relate.

17.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

17.3 Waiver. No failure or delay by Rouxbarb ApS in exercising any right or remedy under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Rouxbarb ApS may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of substantially all of its assets, provided that your rights under these Terms are not thereby diminished.

17.5 Force Majeure. Rouxbarb ApS shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Terms to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, third-party service failures, or changes in law or regulation. This clause does not affect your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer.

17.6 Language. These Terms are drafted in English. In the event of any inconsistency between an English version and a translated version, the English version shall prevail to the extent permitted by applicable law.
