CrumbTerms of Use
Effective November 7, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of Crumb, including the Crumb mobile apps, the Crumb web app at crumb.beclutch.club, and the public recipe site at crumbrecipes.beclutch.club (together, the "Service"). The Service is operated by Sierralingo, LLC, a New York limited liability company doing business as BeClutch ("Crumb", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
1. Who can use Crumb
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use Crumb only with the permission of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for activity on your account.
2. Your recipes and content
You keep ownership of the recipes, photos, notes, ratings, profile name and profile photo you add to Crumb ("Your Content"). Each recipe has a visibility setting:
- Private: visible to you, and to people you share it with or are friends with on Crumb.
- Public: visible to everyone, including people without a Crumb account, on Crumb and on crumbrecipes.beclutch.club.
In Settings you can choose whether new recipes start as private or public, and you can change any recipe's visibility at any time.
License for public recipes. When you make a recipe public, you grant Crumb a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, format, adapt (for example, resizing photos or laying recipes out for web, print and search results), distribute and promote that recipe and its photo on the Service and in Crumb's marketing, newsletters and social media, together with your display name and profile photo as credit. You also allow other users to view it, rate it, print it and save a copy to their own Crumb account for personal use.
This license ends when you make the recipe private or delete it, or delete your account, except for copies other users already saved for personal use, content in newsletters already sent, and backup copies kept for a limited time. We try to remove it from the public site promptly; search engines and other services may take longer to update their copies.
For private recipes, you grant us only the rights needed to store them, show them to you and the people you share with, and run the features you ask for (such as reading a recipe from a photo or a link).
3. Only share what you have the right to share
You are responsible for Your Content. By making a recipe public, you confirm that you created it or otherwise have the right to publish it, and that it doesn't infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights.
Ingredient lists are generally free to share, but a cookbook's or website's written instructions, stories and photos usually belong to their author. Recipes you import from cookbooks, magazines or websites are for your personal use. Keep them private unless you have permission, or rewrite the instructions in your own words, use your own photo and credit the source.
4. Copyright complaints
If you believe content on Crumb infringes your copyright, email [email protected] with: your contact details; a description of the work; the link to the content on Crumb; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorized by the owner, its agent or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for them; and your physical or electronic signature. We will remove or disable material that infringes, and we may close the accounts of repeat infringers.
5. Acceptable use
Don't use Crumb to:
- post anything unlawful, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit or violent, or anything that invades someone's privacy;
- post spam, advertising or misleading content, or impersonate anyone;
- upload malware or try to break, overload, scrape or get unauthorized access to the Service or other accounts;
- use the Service to break the terms of other websites, including by sharing paywalled content publicly.
We may remove content, or suspend or close accounts, that break these Terms.
6. Friends and sharing
When you and another user become friends on Crumb, each of you can see all of the other's recipes, including private ones, until either of you removes the friendship. You can also share individual recipes with specific users. Only add friends and share with people you trust.
7. AI and import features
Crumb can read recipes from photos, PDFs, web links and pages you open, using automated tools including artificial intelligence. Results can be incomplete or wrong. Always review an imported recipe, especially quantities, temperatures, cooking times and allergens, before you rely on it.
8. Cooking, food safety and health
Recipes are shared by home cooks and are provided for general information. We don't test them or verify their accuracy, nutrition or safety. Follow safe food-handling practices, cook food to safe temperatures, and check every recipe for ingredients that you or the people you cook for are allergic or sensitive to. Healthy-eating content, including the Dietitian Newsletter written by Holley Nash, RDN, LD, is general information for a general audience. It is not medical or nutrition advice for you individually and doesn't create a dietitian–client relationship; talk to a qualified professional about your own needs.
9. Donations
Donations are voluntary, help cover the costs of running Crumb, and don't buy any goods, services or special features. They are processed by third-party payment services under their own terms and are non-refundable except where the law requires.
10. Our service
We may change, add or remove features, and we may suspend or end the Service. You can stop using Crumb and delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Delete account).
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DON'T GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL BE KEPT.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CRUMB AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR ANY RECIPE OR CONTENT ON IT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS OR US$50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
13. Indemnity
You agree to defend and hold harmless Crumb and its operators from claims, damages and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content or your breach of these Terms.
14. App stores
If you downloaded Crumb from Apple's App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google, who aren't responsible for the app or its support. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the app must also follow the app store's own terms.
15. Changes and general terms
We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we'll update the date above and let you know in the app or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Crumb after that means you accept the new Terms. If any part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction, except that either of us may bring a claim in small-claims court where it qualifies.
