Tablespread Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 11, 2026 • Effective Date: October 11, 2026

October 11, 2026 — changes to these Terms. Two changes, and your acceptance is being requested again for that reason. First, to what the Free plan’s daily allowance covers. The Free plan was described as one dinner a day. It is still two generations a day, and those two can now be Tonight’s dinner with two options, or two dinners you ask for: a dinner you describe yourself, which uses one generation on every plan. This adds to what the Free plan can do and takes nothing away. §8.1 sets out the exact wording, and now also says what a day and a calendar week are for the allowances. Second, §16.6 now states when the 30-day arbitration opt-out period opens: once, when you first accept these Terms, and again only when a later version materially changes §16. Because this version changes §16.6, accepting it opens a new 30-day opt-out period if you have not already opted out. Nothing in our liability terms or our Privacy Policy changed on this date; the Privacy Policy carries the same date only because the two are accepted together.

September 7, 2026 — changes to these Terms. Two material changes, both to plans and billing, and your acceptance is being requested again for that reason. First: the $9.99 plan is now called Premium and now carries a stated weekly allowance, set out in §8.1. The price is unchanged — $9.99 per month or $99.90 per year — and the plan is described by what it plans for you rather than by a promise of no limit: your week of dinners, your desserts, and your gatherings. The plan that was previously offered at this price without a stated allowance is no longer sold. Second, and this one reduces what the Plus plan includes: Desserts and Host a Gathering are now part of Premium only. Plus plans your week of dinners. If you hold Plus and want Desserts or Host a Gathering, you can move to Premium yourself in the Plan section of your Household settings, or you can cancel before this change applies to you, as described in §8.6. §8.1 now describes that self-service switching, including that moving to a higher-priced plan takes effect immediately and is billed on your next invoice, and that moving to a lower-priced plan takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. §8.1 also now states, for the first time, what happens when a paid Household uses its whole weekly allowance: it is not locked out — it keeps planning at the Free plan’s daily rate for the rest of that week, and its full allowance returns when the new week begins. §8.1 also now states that a request may return fewer recipes than a feature normally produces when the allowance left is smaller than the request. §8.6 now says that we may stop offering a plan and what happens if we withdraw one you hold, and §18.2 now records how we version these Terms. Nothing in your rights, our liability, our dispute-resolution terms, or our Privacy Policy changed on this date.

September 5, 2026 — changes to these Terms. These Terms have been updated in seven material respects, and your acceptance is being requested again for that reason: (a) BILLING — paid Subscriptions are now available to purchase on the web, so the billing, auto-renewal, and cancellation terms in §8 are live rather than prospective, and §8 now describes plan allowances in the unit the Service actually meters and how cancellation actually works; (b) A NEW PAID PRODUCT — new §8.9 introduces one-time purchases, and a Recipe Book is the first, at $2.99 for Households on the Free plan; (c) NEW OBLIGATIONS ON YOU — new §10.5 governs Recipe Books and asks you to confirm three things about what you put in one and not to remove the printed safety notice from a Book you pass on, §11 adds a matching prohibition, and §15 adds a new indemnity for claims arising from a Recipe Book you made, including a claim by someone you gave it to; (d) LIABILITY — new §14.4 states that where a state does not allow a limitation in §13 or §14, that limitation applies only as far as that state permits and is trimmed rather than struck; (e) SCOPE — the Service now includes the Tablespread Android application, and the definition of “Service” in §2 has been widened accordingly; (f) §9.3 and §17 have been corrected to describe the Household and account-deletion controls the Service actually provides, and §10.3 now permits the personal, non-commercial use a Recipe Book involves; and (g) §10.4 now records that our copyright agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Our Privacy Policy was updated the same day; its data retention and deletion terms (§§6 and 7.2) changed materially. If you had previously opted out of arbitration under §16.6, that opt-out remains in effect. If you had not, accepting that version opened a further 30-day opt-out period, which has since closed; §16.6 now sets out when an opt-out period opens.

Plain-Language Summary

Before the legal detail, here is the short version in normal English. If anything here conflicts with the full Terms below, the full Terms control.

Important — Please Read Carefully

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal contract between you (“you,” “User,” or the household member accepting them) and SanctumTools LLC (“SanctumTools,” “Tablespread,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Tablespread web application, website, or related services (collectively, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and the Tablespread Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accepting an invitation to a Household, or accessing or using Tablespread, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, the Tablespread Privacy Policy (incorporated by reference), and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a Household, you represent that you have authority to bind that Household and its members to the extent permitted by law.

2. Definitions

For clarity, the following defined terms are used throughout these Terms:

3. Description of Service

Tablespread is a menu-planning and household food-management tool. The Service helps you:

Tablespread is a planning and organizational tool. It is NOT:

3.1 AI-Powered Features — Required Disclosure

Notice: this Service uses artificial intelligence.

Tablespread uses AI technology (including large language models and AI vision) to power the Sous Chef and related features. You acknowledge and agree that:

4. Allergen and Dietary Filtering — Critical Disclaimer and Assumption of Risk

This Section is the most important in these Terms. Read it carefully.

4.1 What the Allergen and Dietary Features Do

Tablespread allows you to record food allergies (per Household member) and dietary preferences and goals (such as vegetarian, vegan, low-sodium, or heart-healthy), and attempts to filter, flag, or warn about recipes and ingredients accordingly. For recognized major allergens, the Service uses rule-based matching against a curated allergen dictionary and is designed to err toward warning when uncertain. For user-entered (“custom”) allergens and for dietary preferences, matching is best-effort and more limited.

4.2 No Guarantee of Safety

Tablespread does not, and cannot, guarantee that any recipe, generated meal, ingredient, substitution, shopping list, or product is free of any allergen or safe for you or any person. The allergen and dietary features are planning and informational aids only. They are not a food-safety device, an allergen-detection guarantee, or a substitute for your own verification. Among other limitations, the Service:

4.3 You Must Verify — Always Read Labels

You are solely responsible for verifying the safety and suitability of every ingredient, product, and meal before purchasing, preparing, serving, or consuming it. Always read the labels on the actual products you buy, confirm ingredients independently, and consult a qualified medical professional or allergist regarding any food allergy or medical dietary requirement. Never rely on Tablespread to keep you or anyone in your Household safe from an allergen or to satisfy a medically necessary diet.

4.4 Assumption of Risk

By using the allergen, dietary, recipe, or meal-planning features, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from your use of or reliance on those features, including any allergic reaction, adverse health event, illness, injury, or dietary non-compliance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that SanctumTools is not responsible or liable for any such outcome, and you release SanctumTools from any claim arising from your reliance on the allergen or dietary features.

5. Nutrition Estimates — Disclaimer

Tablespread may display estimated nutrition information (such as calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat) for recipes and meals. These figures are approximate AI-generated estimates, not precise or verified values. They are not suitable for medical, clinical, therapeutic, diabetic, renal, weight-management, or any other diet requiring nutritional precision. Actual nutritional content depends on the specific ingredients, brands, quantities, substitutions, and preparation you use, which Tablespread cannot know. Do not rely on Tablespread’s nutrition estimates for any health-related decision. If you have a medical condition or follow a medically directed diet, consult your physician or a registered dietitian and rely on verified nutrition labels.

6. No Medical, Nutritional, or Professional Advice

Tablespread does not provide medical, nutritional, dietary, allergy, or other professional health advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and nothing in the Service should be treated as such. The Service and all AI-Generated Content are for general meal-planning and informational purposes only.

7. AI-Generated Content Provided “As-Is”

All AI-Generated Content — including recipes, meal plans, ingredient lists, quantities, cooking instructions, substitutions, parsed recipes, and nutrition estimates — is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable. AI-Generated Content is not professional culinary, food-safety, nutritional, or medical advice.

You are solely responsible for reviewing all AI-Generated Content before relying on it, including verifying ingredients, quantities, measurements, cooking temperatures and times, and food-safety steps (for example, safe handling and cooking of meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood). You cook, prepare, and consume any recipe at your own risk. SanctumTools does not warrant that any recipe is accurate, safe, edible, healthy, or fit for any purpose.

The Service is designed to show you parsed and generated recipes for your confirmation before saving; you are responsible for that confirmation and for any errors you do not catch.

8. Subscriptions, Billing, Auto-Renewal, and Cancellation

8.1 Plan allowances

A Subscription is purchased for, and applies to, a Household. The weekly and daily plan allowances below are shared by everyone in the Household — a Household of four shares one allowance, it does not get one each.

Allowances are measured in Generations, as defined in §2. One Generation is one recipe designed for you. A dinner the Service plans for you — Tonight’s dinner, or a dinner in a planned week — is designed with two options for you to choose between, so one planned dinner uses two Generations. A dinner you ask for, by describing the dish yourself under “Have something in mind?”, is designed as one recipe and uses one Generation.

Allowances do not carry over, and they are counted per Household rather than per person. Generations used for other features — desserts, gatherings, dinners you ask for, and a different recipe in place of one you were shown — draw on the same allowance. For these allowances, a day begins at midnight Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) — 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time during daylight saving time and 7:00 p.m. otherwise — and a calendar week begins at that moment on Monday, which is Sunday evening in U.S. time zones. When a limit is reached, the Service tells you when your allowance returns, in your own time zone.

A request may return fewer recipes than the feature normally produces. Generations are drawn against what is left of your Household’s allowance, so when the allowance remaining is smaller than the request, the Service fills as much of it as the remaining allowance covers rather than refusing the request outright.

If your Household uses its whole weekly allowance, you are not locked out for the rest of the week. A Household on Plus or Premium that has spent its weekly allowance keeps planning at the Free plan’s daily rate — two (2) Generations per day, usable in the same ways as on the Free plan — until the new week begins, when the full weekly allowance returns. When a request cannot be filled because a limit has been reached, the Service tells you at the time. While your Household is planning at that daily rate, a feature that would need more Generations than the daily rate allows may be unavailable until your weekly allowance returns.

Plus and Premium both unlock planning a full week in one pass, which the Free plan does not include. Desserts and Host a Gathering are included with Premium only — they are not part of the Free plan or the Plus plan. The paid plans also differ in the size of the weekly allowance: Premium’s is set so that a full week of dinners, a dessert request, and a gathering can all be planned in the same week. Each annual plan is priced at two months free compared with paying monthly. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any applicable taxes.

Where purchases can be made, and plans changed. Subscriptions and one-time purchases (see §8.9) are sold only through the Tablespread web application, and payment is processed by Stripe. The Tablespread Android application does not offer purchases or plan upgrades. You can cancel a Subscription, or move to a lower-priced plan, from within that application. If we make Subscriptions purchasable in that application in the future, they will be sold through Google Play’s billing system, and Google’s purchase, cancellation, and refund terms will govern those transactions instead of §§8.4 and 8.5 to the extent they conflict.

Switching plans. You can change between Plus and Premium yourself, in the Plan section of your Household settings. Switching changes the Subscription you already hold; it does not create a second one, and a second checkout while a Subscription is live is still refused. Moving to a higher-priced plan takes effect immediately. You are not charged at that moment: the difference for the remainder of the current billing period is added to your next invoice, together with a credit for the unused part of the plan you left. Moving to a lower-priced plan takes effect at the end of the billing period you have already paid for. You keep the plan you paid for until that date, and the new price applies from the next period; you may cancel a scheduled move at any time before it takes effect. Your billing interval — monthly or annual — is not changed by a switch. A Subscription that is already scheduled to end, or whose most recent payment has failed, cannot be switched in the Service; email support@sanctumtools.com and we will arrange it.

We may change prices, plans, and allowances prospectively. We will give notice of price changes as described in §8.6 and will not change the price of your current paid term mid-term. Some Households hold Complimentary Access (see §2), which is not a Subscription and is not governed by §§8.3–8.6.

8.2 Limits that apply to every plan

Separately from the Household allowance in §8.1, each individual account is subject to a backstop of sixty (60) Generations per account per day. This applies on every plan, including Premium and Households with Complimentary Access. Recipe generation also depends on third-party AI services and is subject to an overall daily capacity limit shared across all accounts; if that limit is reached, generation may be briefly unavailable regardless of plan.

8.3 Auto-Renewal (Negative Option)

Paid Subscriptions automatically renew. Unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period, your Subscription will automatically renew for another period of the same length (monthly or annual), and the payment method on file will be charged the then-current renewal price. By subscribing, you authorize SanctumTools, through our payment processor (Stripe), to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

Before you choose a plan, the plan card in the Service shows you the plan name, the price, the billing interval, that the Subscription renews automatically at that price until you cancel, that cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for and does not remove your recipes, where to cancel, and a link to these Terms. Our payment processor’s checkout page then shows you the amount and the renewal interval again before you confirm.

8.4 How to cancel

You can cancel your Subscription yourself, in the Service, on the web. Open Your household, and use Cancel subscription under your plan. We schedule the cancellation with our payment processor immediately and tell you when your paid access ends.

You may also cancel by emailing support@sanctumtools.com from the email address on your account. We treat a cancellation email as effective on the date you send it, not the date we process it, so a delay on our side can never cause a charge for a further period.

Effect of cancelling. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You keep paid access until then, you will not be charged for the following period, and you keep your account, your Household, and every recipe in your library — when the paid period ends, your Household simply returns to the Free plan’s allowance. Cancelling never removes your data.

You can cancel from within the Tablespread Android application as well as on the web, or by email. Moving to a higher-priced plan is not available in the Android application.

8.5 Refunds

Except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated, fees already paid are non-refundable, and cancelling a Subscription does not entitle you to a refund of fees for the current period. We may, in our discretion, provide refunds or credits in individual cases. Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable refund or cancellation right you have under the law of your state of residence.

8.6 Price and Plan Changes

We may change Subscription prices or the contents of plans. For changes that increase the price of your Subscription or materially reduce what your plan includes, we will give you advance notice (by email and/or in the Service) before the change takes effect on a renewal, and you may cancel before the change applies if you do not agree. We may also stop offering a plan to new subscribers. Withdrawing a plan you already hold, or moving a feature from a plan you hold to a different plan, is a change of the kind described above, and the same advance notice and the same opportunity to cancel apply.

8.7 Free Tier and Fair Use

The free tier and any usage limits (including daily meal and generation limits and abuse caps) are subject to change. We may throttle, limit, or suspend AI Features for any account whose usage significantly exceeds normal personal-household use or that appears automated, bulk, or commercial.

8.8 Taxes

Prices may exclude applicable taxes. You are responsible for any taxes associated with your Subscription, which may be collected by us or our payment processor.

8.9 One-time purchases

Some features are sold as a single purchase rather than a Subscription. A Recipe Book costs $2.99 for Households on the Free plan, and is included at no charge for Households with a Subscription and for Households with Complimentary Access. A one-time purchase is not a subscription and does not renew. Paying for a Book entitles you to generate that Book — including generating it again later, with the same or different recipes — for as long as your account exists. A different Book is a separate purchase. Because a Book is built from your library at the moment you generate it, a Book you make again later may differ from the one you made before if the recipes in it have changed; we do not keep the earlier file, so save a copy of any Book you want to keep exactly as it was. One-time purchases are non-refundable except as required by law or as we choose in an individual case, and are processed on the web by Stripe. They are not available for purchase in the Android application.

9. Accounts, Eligibility, and Households

9.1 Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an account or hold a Subscription. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

9.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. Each Household Member must use their own login; account credentials are not to be shared.

9.3 Households and Member Data

A Household is created by an Owner, who may invite Members. Members share menus, recipes, lists, pantry data, and household-member profiles (including dislikes, dietary preferences, and allergen entries) within that Household. You acknowledge that:

10. User Content and License

10.1 Your Content

As between you and SanctumTools, the User Content you provide belongs to you. You are responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have the rights to provide it (for example, you must have the right to upload a recipe photo or paste a recipe from a third-party source for your personal household use).

10.2 License to Operate the Service

You grant SanctumTools a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, reproduce, and display your User Content solely to operate, provide, secure, and improve the Service for you and your Household, including transmitting relevant content to our service providers (such as Anthropic for AI processing) as needed to deliver the AI Features. We may use aggregated and de-identified data to operate and improve the Service.

10.3 Recipes and Ownership of AI-Generated Content

Recipes can be captured from third-party sources, generated by the Sous Chef, or entered by you. You acknowledge that:

SanctumTools respects the intellectual-property rights of others and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. SanctumTools has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement with the United States Copyright Office (Directory registration DMCA-1079950). Notices must be sent to the designated agent below. If you believe that content stored or transmitted through the Service infringes a copyright you own or control, you may send a written notice to our designated agent at melanie@sanctumtools.com that includes:

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material, notify the user who provided it, and accept counter-notifications consistent with the DMCA. We may, in appropriate circumstances and in our discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

10.5 Recipe Books

The Service can assemble recipes you select from your own library into a formatted book file (a “Recipe Book”) and deliver it to you. We generate it on request and do not keep the finished file; what we store is the list of recipes you chose and the name you gave it, so you can make it again.

You choose what goes in, and you are responsible for what you choose. Your library may hold recipes you captured from websites, books, cards, or other people. Recipes themselves — ingredients and method — generally are not protected by copyright, but the way a recipe is written can be: headnotes, descriptions, and distinctive instruction text belong to whoever wrote them. By making a Recipe Book you confirm that:

Attribution. Where we know where a recipe came from, we print that in the Book. We do it because it is right and because it helps a reader find the original — it is not a licence, and it does not by itself make any use lawful. For recipes captured before we began recording origin, the Book may say only that the recipe came from an outside source.

🔴 Every Recipe Book carries printed safety information, and you must not remove it. A Book is a fixed object: unlike the app, it cannot be corrected after it is printed, and the person you give it to has not agreed to these Terms and may never have used Tablespread. The printed notice — that recipes may be AI-generated, that nutrition figures are estimates, that allergen and dietary filtering is not a guarantee of safety, and that whoever cooks from it must check labels and ingredients themselves — is how that person is told. Do not remove, obscure, or edit it out of a Book you pass on.

Printing. If you send a Recipe Book to a printing or publishing service, that is between you and that service under its own terms, which will generally require you to confirm you hold the rights to what you upload. We are not a party to it, we do not send your Book to any such service, and we have no relationship with them.

What we do and do not do. We format and deliver a Book at your request. We do not publish, host, sell, or distribute it, and we do not make it available to anyone but you. Section 10.4 applies to recipe content stored in the Service.

11. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

12. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including:

Tablespread does not use a third-party email marketing or transactional email provider. Any account or notice emails are sent through Google (Firebase Authentication / Google Workspace).

Your use of the Service involves transmitting relevant data to these providers as needed to deliver the Service, as described in the Tablespread Privacy Policy. These providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. SanctumTools is not responsible for the acts, omissions, accuracy, availability, or data practices of third-party services, including the accuracy of any product, nutrition, or barcode data they supply or any third-party recipe site you import from. Your relationship with any grocery store, brand, or product manufacturer is solely between you and that third party.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SanctumTools disclaims all warranties, including:

We do not warrant that any recipe, meal plan, shopping list, allergen flag, or nutrition estimate will meet your needs, be safe for you or your Household, or produce any particular result.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and except for liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud):

14.1 No Liability for Certain Outcomes

SanctumTools and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be liable for any injury, illness, allergic reaction, adverse health event, property damage, emotional distress, or other harm arising from your use of or reliance on the Service or any AI-Generated Content, including any reliance on allergen filtering, dietary filtering, nutrition estimates, recipes, or food-safety information.

14.2 No Indirect Damages

In no event shall SanctumTools be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, or use, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other theory, even if advised of the possibility.

14.3 Liability Cap

If, notwithstanding the above, SanctumTools is found liable, its total aggregate liability shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid SanctumTools for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) One Hundred Dollars ($100).

14.4 If Any of This Is Unenforceable

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, including damages for personal injury. In those states, the exclusions and limitations in §§13 and 14 apply only to the fullest extent that state’s law allows, and you may have rights those Sections cannot take away. If any limitation in §13 or §14 is held unenforceable, it shall be reformed and applied to the greatest extent permitted rather than struck, and every other limitation in those Sections remains in full force.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SanctumTools LLC and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, and licensors from and against third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your material breach of these Terms; (b) your violation of applicable law; (c) your violation of the rights of another person or entity (including intellectual-property rights in recipes or content you upload); (d) your User Content, including information you enter about another person without authority or consent; or (e) a Recipe Book you made, including any claim brought by a person you gave it to.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

16.1 Informal Resolution First

Before initiating arbitration, you agree to first contact us at melanie@sanctumtools.com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

16.2 Binding Arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally shall be resolved through binding arbitration, not in court, subject to the opt-out and exceptions below.

16.3 Arbitration Procedure

16.4 Small-Claims Carve-Out

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in the county of the consumer’s residence, provided the claim qualifies and is not consolidated with other claims.

16.5 Class-Action Waiver

Arbitration and claims will be conducted on an individual basis only, not as a class action or representative action. You waive any right to participate in a class action or class-wide arbitration against SanctumTools.

16.6 30-Day Opt-Out

You may opt out of the binding-arbitration and class-action-waiver provisions in §§16.2 and 16.5 by sending written notice to SanctumTools at melanie@sanctumtools.com within thirty (30) days of the date you first accept these Terms. The notice must include your name, the email address on your account, and a statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

Accepting a later version of these Terms does not open a new opt-out period unless that version makes a material change to this §16. If it does, you may opt out of the change by the same written notice within thirty (30) days of the date you accept that version; if you do, the provisions of this §16 as they stood before that change continue to govern disputes between you and SanctumTools. A change to this §16 never applies to a dispute that you or SanctumTools had already raised, by notice under §16.1, in arbitration, or in court, before the version making the change took effect. If you have opted out under this §16.6, your opt-out remains in effect under every later version of these Terms.

16.7 Exceptions

Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for intellectual-property infringement, unauthorized access to the Service, or violations requiring immediate relief.

16.8 Severability of This Arbitration Agreement

If the class-action waiver in §16.5 is found to be unenforceable or invalid as to a particular claim or request for relief, then that claim or request for relief — and only that claim or request — shall be severed from arbitration and proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction, rather than on a class-wide or representative basis in arbitration; the parties do not agree to class-wide arbitration. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, if any other provision of this §16 is found unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of this §16 shall remain in full force and effect.

17. Termination

17.1 By You

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Your account inside the Service, or by emailing us at support@sanctumtools.com from the address on your account. Deletion removes your data from our live systems immediately — it is not a request we queue — and it cannot be undone. What is deleted, what survives, and what deletion means for a shared Household are described in full at tablespread-app.web.app/delete-account/ and in §§6 and 7.2 of the Privacy Policy. There is no per-recipe download, and deleting is permanent. The one way to take your recipes out of Tablespread is to make a Recipe Book (§10.5) before you delete — a book you have already generated is a file on your own device and is unaffected by deletion.

🔴 Deleting is not the same as cancelling, and the difference costs money. Cancelling under §8.4 keeps your account and your recipes and leaves your paid access running until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting ends the Subscription at once and forfeits the remainder of the paid period; it is not refunded. If you want to stop paying but keep your library until the period ends, cancel — do not delete. If a Subscription cannot be cancelled at the moment you delete, nothing is deleted and we tell you so.

17.2 By Us

We may suspend or terminate your access for: material violation of these Terms; fraudulent, abusive, or illegal conduct; non-payment; prolonged inactivity following advance notice; or discontinuation of the Service. Except for fraud, abuse, illegal conduct, or non-payment, we will provide reasonable advance notice.

17.3 Effect of Termination

On termination, your right to access the Service ceases. We will handle your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. If we terminate a paid Subscription without cause and not for your breach, we will refund any prepaid, unused portion on a pro-rata basis where required by law or as a matter of fairness. Provisions that by their nature survive (including §§4–7, 9.3, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 18) remain in effect.

18. General Provisions

18.1 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms deprives consumers of mandatory protections available under the laws of their state of residence.

18.2 Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms with a new “Last Updated” date and, for material changes, by email and/or in-Service notice. Every change to these Terms is published under a version identifier, which is the “Last Updated” date shown at the top of this document, and each version identifier refers to one text only. For non-material changes, continued use after posting constitutes acceptance. For material changes to dispute resolution, liability, billing, or how we handle your data, we will seek your affirmative consent or provide a clear opportunity to decline by cancelling before the change applies to you. Where we seek your affirmative consent, we record which version you accepted and when; that record is described in our Privacy Policy and survives deletion of your account.

18.3 Severability

If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

18.4 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SanctumTools regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements on this subject.
