Terms & Conditions
The Boring Legal Stuff (But We Made It Fun)
1. The "Use Your Common Sense" Clause
By using Paul-recipes.com, you agree that you possess basic kitchen survival skills. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Not sticking metal in the microwave (we've all thought about it)
- Understanding that "season to taste" means YOUR taste, not ours
- Accepting that if you burn something, that's between you and your smoke detector
- Knowing that raw chicken is not a lifestyle choice
2. The "Results May Vary" Disclaimer
Look, Paul makes these recipes and they work for him. But your oven might run hot. Your stovetop might have trust issues. Your flour might be old enough to vote.
Official legal speak: We provide recipes "as is" without warranty of any kind. Your mileage may vary. If your sourdough doesn't rise, we offer our condolences but not refunds on your flour investment.
3. The "Don't Be That Person" Policy
When commenting on recipes, we ask that you:
- Be kind (Gordon Ramsay energy is for TV only)
- Share actual cooking tips, not dissertations on your dietary philosophy
- Avoid the classic "I substituted every ingredient and it was terrible!" one-star review
- Remember: Paul has feelings too
4. The "Gluten-Free Promise"
Recipes marked as gluten-free are designed to be gluten-free based on their ingredients. However:
- Always check your specific product labels (manufacturers love sneaking things in)
- Cross-contamination is a real thing - we can't see into your kitchen
- If you have celiac disease, you probably already know this drill better than we do
5. The "Your Data" Bit
If you create an account, we'll have your email and whatever else you tell us. We use this to:
- Let you save favorites (the actual purpose)
- Send you occasional updates (if you want them)
- Not sell your info to anyone (we're not monsters)
We use cookies. The internet kind, not the delicious kind. They help the site work. You can disable them if you want, but things might get weird.
6. The "Affiliate Links" Transparency
Sometimes we link to products. If you buy through those links, we might get a small commission. This helps keep the site running and doesn't cost you anything extra.
We only recommend stuff we actually use or would use. No one's paying us to push bad kitchen gadgets on you.
7. The "We Can Change This" Part
We reserve the right to update these terms whenever we feel like it. We'll try to let you know if anything major changes, but honestly, you probably won't read it again anyway. (We don't blame you.)
8. Contact
Got questions? Comments? A really good recipe you think we should try? Reach out through the site. We actually read that stuff.
