These Terms of Use govern access to the Hireci website and mobile application. By using Hireci, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. The service

Hireci helps people save, organize and use recipes from content they create or are permitted to access. Features may include recipe importing, collections, creator attribution, nutrition information, grocery lists, sharing and cost estimates. Features may change as the product develops.

2. Your account

You are responsible for keeping your sign-in methods secure and for activity under your account. Information you provide must be accurate and you must promptly notify Hireci if you believe your account has been compromised.

3. Your content and permissions

You keep ownership of content you create. You grant Hireci a limited permission to host, process, reproduce and display that content only as needed to operate, secure and improve the service. You represent that you have the right to submit the content and that doing so does not violate another person’s rights.

4. Imported and third-party content

Recipes, images and creator information may originate from third parties. You are responsible for following applicable copyright rules and the terms of the original source. Hireci does not grant ownership of third-party content and may limit or remove content when legally required or when access is no longer available.

5. Zero tolerance and community safety

Hireci has zero tolerance for harassment or bullying, hateful content or conduct, pornography or sexually explicit content, credible threats, intimidation, exploitation, or other abusive behavior. You may not create, upload, send, store, share, promote or facilitate content or conduct that targets, degrades, sexualizes, threatens or harms another person or group.

Users can report content, accounts or conduct through any available in-app reporting control or by emailing hi@hireci.com with the relevant account, content or link and a description of the concern. Users can also use any available blocking control to stop or limit interaction with another account and reduce that account’s visibility to them. If there is an immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Hireci may investigate reports and, depending on severity, repetition and risk, take one or more of the following actions:

• remove, restrict or disable access to content;
• limit messaging, sharing, discovery or other account features;
• warn, suspend or permanently terminate an account, including without prior notice when immediate action is reasonably necessary;
• prevent repeat registration and preserve or disclose relevant information when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users; and
• refer credible threats, exploitation or unlawful activity to appropriate authorities.

Blocking does not prevent Hireci from reviewing a report or taking enforcement action. Attempts to evade a block, suspension or ban are prohibited. Where appropriate and legally permitted, a user may request review of an enforcement decision by contacting hi@hireci.com.

6. Acceptable use

You may not misuse Hireci, interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, scrape the service at scale, upload malicious code, impersonate others, violate law, evade a safety measure or enforcement action, or use the service to infringe intellectual-property, privacy or other rights.

7. Nutrition, allergy and cost information

Nutrition values, ingredient interpretations, substitutions and cost estimates are informational approximations. They are not medical, dietary or financial advice. Always verify ingredients, allergens, food safety, dietary requirements, prices and serving sizes for your circumstances.

8. Availability and changes

Hireci may update, suspend or discontinue features and may set reasonable usage limits. The service is provided on an “as available” basis. Although Hireci aims for a reliable experience, uninterrupted or error-free operation is not guaranteed.

9. Suspension and termination

Access may be restricted, suspended or permanently terminated when reasonably necessary to protect users or the service, address abuse or legal requirements, enforce Section 5, or respond to a material violation of these Terms. Serious safety violations may result in immediate termination without prior warning. You may stop using Hireci at any time.

10. Disclaimers and limitation

To the extent permitted by law, Hireci disclaims implied warranties and is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, recipes, profits or opportunities. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated as the service changes. Material updates will be communicated where required. Continued use after an effective update means you accept the revised Terms.
