Terms of Service

Last Updated: March, 2026

Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) carefully before using DinnerWise (the “App”). By creating an account or using the App in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Michael Savory (“I,” “me,” or “my”), an individual operating the App.

1. Description of the App

DinnerWise is a meal planning application that helps users plan weekly dinner menus based on current sale items at Kroger grocery stores. The App uses the Kroger API to identify sale items and uses artificial intelligence to generate personalized meal suggestions and recipes. Key features include:

  • Weekly meal plan generation based on Kroger sale items
  • AI-generated recipes and meal suggestions
  • Personalized shopping list creation and management
  • Barcode scanning to add items to shopping lists or watchlists
  • Price comparison indicators for select items at other retailers
  • A watchlist feature to monitor item prices and sale alerts
  • User account with saved meal history, preferences, and watchlist data
  • A text-to-speech feature that reads recipe instructions aloud

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the App, you confirm that:

  • You have read, understood, and agree to these Terms
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
  • You will use the App only for its intended, lawful purposes

If you are a parent or guardian allowing a minor to use the App, you agree to these Terms on their behalf and are responsible for their use of the App.

3. User Accounts

3.1 Account Creation

To access certain features of the App, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information updated.

3.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify me immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. I am not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.

3.3 One Account Per User

You may not create or maintain more than one account without my express written permission. I reserve the right to terminate duplicate accounts.

3.4 Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time through the App settings. Upon deletion, your personal data will be removed in accordance with my Privacy Policy. I reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Subscription Plans and Billing

4.1 Free Trial

I offer a free trial period that allows you to access premium features at no charge for a limited time. The duration of the free trial will be disclosed at the time of registration. No credit card may be required to begin a free trial, but payment information may be collected in advance of conversion to a paid plan.

4.2 Paid Subscription

Following the free trial period, continued access to premium features requires a paid subscription. Subscription pricing, billing frequency, and the features included in each tier will be clearly disclosed before you are charged.

4.3 Billing and Renewal

Paid subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You authorize me to charge your payment method on file for each renewal.

4.4 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the App settings or by contacting me directly. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to premium features until that date. I do not provide partial refunds for unused portions of a billing period.

4.5 Price Changes

I reserve the right to change subscription pricing. I will provide at least 30 days' advance notice of any price increase before it affects your account. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4.6 Refunds

All subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated otherwise. If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact me within 30 days of the charge.

5. Use of Third-Party Services and Data

5.1 Kroger API

The App integrates with the Kroger API to retrieve product pricing, sale information, and availability data. This data is provided by Kroger and subject to change without notice. I do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any pricing or availability information displayed in the App.

5.2 Price Comparison Data

The App may display price comparison indicators for certain items at other retailers, including Walmart and Amazon. This information is provided for general reference only and may not reflect current or accurate pricing at any specific store location. You should verify prices independently before making purchasing decisions.

5.3 AI-Generated Content

Recipes, meal plans, and suggestions are generated using artificial intelligence. This content is provided for informational and convenience purposes only. AI-generated recipes may contain errors, omissions, or unsuitable suggestions. You are solely responsible for evaluating recipes for safety, dietary suitability, allergen content, and cooking accuracy before preparing any meal.

5.4 Text-to-Speech

The App includes a text-to-speech feature powered by OpenAI's API that reads recipe instructions aloud. This voice is AI-generated and not a human voice. The accuracy of the audio narration depends on the underlying AI-generated recipe content.

5.5 No Endorsement

The App does not endorse any particular product, brand, or retailer. The display of any product, price, or store name in the App is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a recommendation to purchase.

6. User Data and Privacy

6.1 Data Collected

In connection with your use of the App, I collect and store certain personal data including your account credentials, meal history, saved recipes, watchlist items, shopping lists, store preferences, and meal preferences. I also collect barcode scan data you submit when adding items to your lists.

6.2 How Data Is Used

Your data is used to provide and improve the App's features, to personalize meal suggestions and shopping lists, to send you alerts about watchlisted items, and to manage your subscription. I do not sell your personal data to third parties.

6.3 Third-Party Processors

I use third-party services to operate the App, including cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and AI API providers. These services may process your data in accordance with their own privacy policies. By using the App, you consent to this processing.

6.4 Children's Privacy (COPPA Notice)

Although the App is available for family use, I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided personal data through the App without your consent, please contact me immediately so I can take appropriate action.

6.5 Privacy Policy

The collection, use, and protection of your personal data is further described in my Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review the Privacy Policy carefully.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

  • Violate any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the App or its underlying systems
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the App
  • Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the App by automated means
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code
  • Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity
  • Use the App for commercial purposes without my express written consent
  • Circumvent or disable any security or access-control features of the App

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 App Ownership

The App, including its design, code, features, branding, and non-user-generated content, is owned by me and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use.

8.2 User Content

Any content you submit to the App — such as free-form shopping list items or notes — remains yours. By submitting such content, you grant me a limited license to store and process it solely to provide the App's features to you.

8.3 Feedback

If you submit feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the App, you grant me the right to use that feedback freely and without compensation to you.

9. Disclaimers

The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

I do not warrant that:

  • The App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
  • Pricing or availability data from Kroger or other retailers will be accurate or current
  • AI-generated recipes will be safe, suitable, or free from errors
  • The App will meet your specific requirements

You assume full responsibility for your use of any recipe, meal plan, or shopping information provided by the App.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the App, including but not limited to loss of data, personal injury, property damage, or financial loss.

My total liability to you for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or your use of the App will not exceed the greater of: (a) the total subscription fees you paid to me in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) fifty dollars ($50.00).

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. To the extent such limitations are prohibited by applicable law, they may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold me harmless from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any third-party right; or (d) any content you submit through the App.

12. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

12.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to contact me and attempt to resolve the dispute informally by providing written notice describing the claim and the relief sought. I will attempt to respond within 30 days. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days of notice, either party may proceed to arbitration.

12.2 Binding Arbitration

Except as set forth in Section 12.4, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the App will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court. By agreeing to these Terms, you and I each waive the right to a trial by jury.

Arbitration will be conducted by a recognized arbitration organization under its then-current rules. The arbitration will take place in Georgia, or may be conducted remotely by mutual agreement. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3 Class Action Waiver

You and I agree that any dispute will be resolved only on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding. You may not consolidate your dispute with any other person's claim.

12.4 Exceptions to Arbitration

The following disputes are excluded from arbitration and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction:

  • Claims for injunctive or equitable relief to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights
  • Claims that can be brought in small claims court

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 12 will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Georgia.

14. App Availability and Modifications

I reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App or any feature at any time with or without notice. I will make reasonable efforts to notify users of material changes to the App. I am not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the App.

I may update these Terms from time to time. I will notify you of material changes by posting a notice in the App or by email. Your continued use of the App after the effective date of an updated version of the Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may display links to third-party websites or services, including product pages at Kroger, Walmart, or Amazon. These links are provided for your convenience only. I do not control and am not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site or service. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk.

16. Geographic Restriction

The App is intended for use by residents of the United States only. I make no representation that the App is appropriate or available in other locations. Accessing the App from outside the United States is at your own risk and you are responsible for compliance with local laws.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and me with respect to the App and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, and understandings. No waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective unless in writing.
