mezcla — Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Mezcla (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Service.

2. User Accounts

To use certain features of Mezcla, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to notify Mezcla promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.

3. User-Generated Content

Mezcla allows you to create, store, and manage your own recipes and related content, including but not limited to: recipe text, components, ingredients, instructions, remarks, images, messages, and social interactions. All of this is referred to as “User Content.”

You retain ownership of your User Content. However, by uploading or creating User Content on Mezcla, you grant Mezcla a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to store and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

You are solely responsible for your User Content. You represent and warrant that:

• You have the rights or permission to post, upload, or share the content.
• Your content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, or other rights of third parties.
• Your content complies with applicable laws and these Terms.

Zero Tolerance Policy:

Mezcla maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive behavior. Content that is abusive, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate is strictly prohibited.

Mezcla does not routinely review all User Content but may remove, restrict, or take action against any content or account that appears to violate these Terms or applicable law.

4. Imported Recipes and AI-Assisted Tools

Mezcla may offer optional tools that assist you in importing or transcribing recipes from external sources, such as:

• Web page URLs (online recipe sites)
• Copied text from other sources
• Uploaded documents (for example, Word or PDF files)
• AI-based parsing or summarization tools that help convert text into structured recipes

These tools are provided for your personal organization and private use.

4.1 Private Use of Imported Recipes

Any recipe you import from an external website or document is intended for your private use within Mezcla. Imported recipes will remain private by default and are not meant to be publicly redistributed without substantial rewriting and your confirmation that you have the right to share them.

4.2 Attribution and Source URLs

When you import recipes from external sources, Mezcla may store and display the source URL within your private recipe for reference and attribution. This does not replace or override any rights held by the original author or publisher.

4.3 No Guarantee of Accuracy

AI-assisted tools and import features may sometimes produce inaccurate, incomplete, or malformed results. You are responsible for reviewing and editing any imported or AI-generated content before relying on it.

4.4 User Responsibility

You agree not to use Mezcla’s import or AI tools to:

• Circumvent paywalls or access controls.
• Copy or redistribute copyrighted recipes or text without permission.
• Publish or share content you do not have the right to share.
• Misrepresent someone else’s work as your own.

5. Copyright Policy & Takedown Requests

Mezcla respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same.

If you believe that content hosted on Mezcla infringes your copyright, please contact:

Please include:

• The URL or description of the allegedly infringing content.
• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.

7. Moderation, Reporting, and Safety

Reporting Objectionable Content

Mezcla provides in-app tools that allow users to report objectionable content or abusive behavior. Reports may include content, recipes, messages, or user accounts.

All reports are reviewed by Mezcla within 24 hours. Content found to violate these Terms will be removed, and users responsible may be restricted or permanently banned.

Blocking Users

Users may block other users at any time. When a user is blocked:

• The blocked user can no longer interact with or message the reporting user.
• The blocked user’s content will no longer appear in the reporting user’s experience.
• Blocking may trigger internal review for potential violations of these Terms.

Content Filtering

Mezcla may use automated systems, keyword filtering, and moderation tools to detect and limit the visibility of objectionable or harmful content.

Enforcement

Mezcla reserves the right to investigate reports and take appropriate action, including content removal, account suspension, or permanent termination, without prior notice.

8. Service Availability

Mezcla is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. There is no guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, upgrades, technical issues, or reasons beyond our control.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mezcla and its developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or use arising out of or related to your use of the Service.
