Terms of Use
These terms apply to the SupperScope dinner-planning app for iPhone and this website, supperscope.com (together, “SupperScope”). SupperScope is operated by Thomas Saunders (“we”, “us”). By using SupperScope, you agree to these terms.
These Terms supplement the applicable Apple Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement for downloads through the App Store. If these terms conflict with that agreement, the Apple agreement controls for your license to use the app.
1. Using SupperScope
SupperScope helps you plan dinners for your household, build a grocery list and estimate what it may cost. You may use it for your own personal, non-commercial meal planning. You must be at least 13 years old, and if you’re under the age of majority where you live, you should use SupperScope with a parent or guardian’s permission.
Your information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
2. Accounts and households
- You don’t need an account to plan dinners on your own iPhone.
- Household sharing requires an account (Sign in with Apple or your email address). Keep access to your sign-in method secure; you’re responsible for activity on your account.
- Everyone in a household can see and change what the household shares, including plans, grocery lists, recipes and household information. Invite only people you trust.
- When you leave a household, or the person who created it removes you, you lose access to its shared content right away. The household keeps what was shared in it.
3. SupperScope Premium
- Your first weekly plan is free. Continuing to plan new weeks, and other Premium actions such as Rescope, Swap, Add dinner, recipe scanning and recreating a dish from a photo, require SupperScope Premium.
- Premium is offered as an auto-renewing Monthly or Annual subscription, purchased through the App Store.
- Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by App Store storefront and region.
- An introductory offer, such as a free trial, is available only when Apple indicates that you’re eligible. If you start a free trial, your subscription begins and you’re charged when the trial ends, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
- Premium features may change over time. We’ll describe what Premium includes in the app.
4. Auto-renewal and cancellation
- Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm your purchase.
- Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings (on iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions), or from SupperScope’s Settings → Manage subscription.
- If you cancel, Premium stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies. We can’t issue refunds for App Store purchases.
5. After Premium ends
If your subscription ends, your existing weeks, saved recipes, My Recipes, grocery lists, history and household content stay accessible. Planning new weeks and other Premium actions ask for Premium again. Nothing you already have is deleted because Premium ended.
6. Family Sharing
SupperScope Premium supports Apple Family Sharing. Where Apple supports it, members of your Apple family group may share your Premium subscription under Apple’s terms. SupperScope household membership is separate: joining a SupperScope household doesn’t by itself grant Premium, and Apple Family Sharing doesn’t add anyone to your household.
7. Your content
“Your content” means recipes, text, links, photos, recipe scans, dish photos and household content that you add to SupperScope.
- You keep ownership of your content. We don’t claim ownership of it.
- You give us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, process, reproduce, transmit and transform your content (for example, to read a recipe from a photo, scale it, or sync it to your household) solely to provide SupperScope to you and your household. This license ends when your content is deleted from SupperScope, except for copies in backups that are replaced on their regular schedule.
- You confirm that you have the rights to the content you upload or import, and that using it in SupperScope doesn’t violate anyone else’s rights. Recipes you import from websites or cookbooks are for your own personal use.
- Content you add to a household can be seen and changed by everyone in that household.
8. Automated and AI-assisted recipes
- Reading a recipe from a link, pasted text or a photo, and recreating a recipe from a dish photo, may use automated processing, including AI services provided by third parties.
- Recipes produced this way can contain errors, such as wrong ingredients, amounts, times, temperatures or steps, or missing allergens.
- Review every ingredient and instruction before you save, cook or rely on a recipe.
9. Food safety, allergies and nutrition
- SupperScope isn’t medical, nutritional or dietary advice. Talk to a qualified professional about medical or dietary needs.
- Allergen and diet matching is a planning aid, not a guarantee. It may not catch every ingredient, and products and recipes can change. Always check ingredient labels and product information yourself, especially if anyone you cook for has a food allergy, intolerance or medical condition.
- Nutrition values are estimates and may differ from the food you actually make.
- Recipes you import, scan or recreate should be reviewed before you cook them (section 8).
- Food safety is your responsibility. Use your own judgment, follow safe food-handling practices, and cook food to safe temperatures.
10. Price estimates
Grocery costs shown in SupperScope are estimates based on regional price data. They aren’t quotes or live store prices, and what you pay depends on the store, products, promotions, taxes and fees.
11. Retailers
- Retailer features depend on availability, and may not be offered in your area or for every store.
- Prices, inventory, product matches and cart contents at a retailer can differ from what SupperScope shows. Review your items before you continue.
- The retailer handles your cart, substitutions, pickup or delivery, payment, checkout and order. Your use of a retailer’s website, app or account is governed by that retailer’s own terms and privacy policy.
- SupperScope doesn’t sell groceries, process payments or place orders, and doesn’t guarantee a retailer’s inventory, pricing, products or services.
- Naming or linking to a retailer doesn’t mean that retailer endorses SupperScope.
12. Acceptable use
Please don’t misuse SupperScope. For example, don’t:
- copy, resell or redistribute SupperScope’s recipes, photos or data in bulk;
- upload content you don’t have the right to use, or content that’s unlawful or harmful;
- try to reverse engineer, disrupt, overload or gain unauthorized access to SupperScope or the services it connects to;
- use SupperScope to break the law or anyone else’s rights or terms.
13. Ownership and feedback
SupperScope, including its design, recipes, images, text, logos and software, belongs to us or to the parties who license content to us, and is protected by applicable laws. Apart from your content, these terms give you a personal, revocable, non-transferable right to use SupperScope, consistent with Apple’s Standard EULA. They don’t transfer ownership of anything to you.
If you send us ideas or feedback, you agree we may use them to improve SupperScope without owing you anything.
14. Third-party content
SupperScope includes some content from others, such as city names from GeoNames (geonames.org), licensed under CC BY 4.0. That content remains subject to its own license.
15. Disclaimers
To the fullest extent the law allows, SupperScope is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We don’t promise that SupperScope will be uninterrupted, error-free or always available.
16. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we won’t be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of SupperScope. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have that can’t be limited by law.
17. Termination and deletion
- You can stop using SupperScope at any time. You can delete your data or account in the app, as described in our Privacy Policy and on our Support page.
- Deleting your SupperScope account or data doesn’t cancel your App Store subscription. Cancel it through your Apple Account subscription settings.
- We may suspend or end access to SupperScope’s online features if these terms are broken, or if we need to protect SupperScope, its users or others.
18. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. This doesn’t take away any protections you have under the consumer laws of the place where you live.
19. Changes
We may update these terms as SupperScope changes. We’ll change the date above, and for significant changes we’ll let you know in the app or on this website. Continuing to use SupperScope after an update means you accept the new terms.
