Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-04-24 · Effective: 2026-04-24

1. Acceptance

By accessing Foodgeist at foodgeist.app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. What Foodgeist is

Foodgeist is a continuously-updating, AI-verified knowledge graph of cooking techniques, ingredients, recipes, compounds, and food-trend signals. The service is provided as-is, for educational and professional reference. Culinary outcomes depend on many variables we cannot control; nothing on Foodgeist constitutes medical, nutritional, or dietary advice.

3. Accounts & subscriptions

Paid tiers (Gastronome, Alchemist) are billed by Stripe; see our Pricing page for current amounts. You may cancel at any time via your account settings; see Refunds below.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to (a) scrape, mirror, or bulk-exfiltrate our data; (b) circumvent rate limits or authentication; (c) submit content that infringes third-party rights; (d) use Foodgeist to generate content that violates applicable law.

5. Intellectual property

Source data citations — PubChem, ChEBI, Wikidata, USDA, national food databases — retain their upstream licenses. Foodgeist’s derivative knowledge graph, prose, and visualizations are © Foodgeist, 2026. Exported documents (PDF/XLSX/CSV) you generate through Foodgeist may be used freely for your own kitchen or business; commercial redistribution requires an Alchemist tier subscription.

6. AI disclaimer

Portions of the Foodgeist corpus are produced by large language models and continuously audited by our Skeptic pipeline. We strive for accuracy but make no warranty that every claim is error-free. Verify critical decisions (allergens, dietary compliance, commercial formulations) against primary sources before acting on them.

7. Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time; exported documents you own remain yours.

8. Changes

Material changes will be posted here at least 14 days before taking effect.
