Terms of Service

Last updated: 10/11/2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, accessing, or using Emberly ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

2. The Service

Emberly is a meal-planning and cooking app that helps you plan meals, log what you cook or eat, build a daily streak, and share meal photos with the Emberly community ("Community Kitchen").

3. Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. You must create an account to use the App. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. You must provide accurate information (name, email) when signing up.

4. Subscriptions

Emberly Pro is offered as an auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly). There is no free trial.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase.

Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in your Apple ID account settings.

No refunds are provided for partial subscription periods, except where required by law.

5. User Content

When you post a photo of a meal to Community Kitchen, you retain ownership of that photo, but grant Emberly a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display it within the App. Don't post content that is offensive, infringes on others' rights, or that you don't have the right to share. We may remove content that violates these Terms.

Community Kitchen is for food only. Every photo, caption and dish name is checked automatically before it appears, and anything that isn't food, or that shows nudity, violence, blood, drugs, hate or self-harm, is rejected and deleted. Emberly has zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Content that violates these Terms will be removed and the posting account may be banned from posting or terminated. Posts reported by other users are hidden while we review them, and reports are reviewed within 24 hours. You can report any post or block any user directly from the Community Kitchen.

6. Coins and the Shop

You earn coins by logging meals in the App. Coins can't be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged for cash, and they have no value outside the App. You can spend them in the Shop on the items shown there.

Charity cook is a donation we make ourselves, from our own money, to a UK food bank. Nobody receives cash, a voucher or a gift card from Emberly. Charity cook shows its conditions in the Shop (a number of days of Eat & post, and how often it can be chosen), needs an active Emberly Pro subscription on your account, and is reviewed by us before we donate. We may refuse a Charity cook, or reset coins, where we find cheating, more than one account per person, or any attempt to get around these rules. We may change or end Shop items at any time; donations already approved will still be made. Apple is not a sponsor of, and is not involved in, Charity cook.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to access, tamper with, or bypass any part of the App's security, subscription, or points systems
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone
• Harass, abuse, or harm other users via Community Kitchen

8. Health & Dietary Information Disclaimer

Emberly allows you to specify dietary preferences and allergen exclusions to help filter meal suggestions. Emberly is not a medical service. Always verify ingredients yourself before eating, especially if you have a serious allergy or medical dietary requirement. We are not responsible for any adverse reaction resulting from reliance on the App's filtering.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. You may delete your account at any time via Settings.

10. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Emberly and its developer are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
