Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the websites, digital materials, consultations, and online culinary services offered by Arlix Food (“Arlix Food,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By visiting our website, requesting a quote, booking a session, or purchasing any of our services, you (“you,” the “client,” or the “user”) agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should discontinue use of our website and services.

1. About Arlix Food and Our Services

Arlix Food is an online culinary studio. We provide digital, remote services only, including online recipe development, virtual cooking guidance, digital meal planning support, online culinary content creation, kitchen organization consulting, and virtual cooking workshops. We operate entirely online. We do not prepare, cook, package, sell, deliver, or distribute any physical food products, ingredients, or prepared meals. Every deliverable we provide is informational, educational, or advisory in nature and is intended to help you cook for yourself in your own kitchen.

Nothing in our services should be interpreted as a promise that any particular culinary, dietary, health, or commercial outcome will be achieved. Cooking results depend on your equipment, ingredients, environment, and technique, all of which are outside our control.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to purchase services or enter into a binding agreement with us. By using our services you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide to us is accurate and complete. Minors may only use our materials under the supervision and with the consent of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on their behalf.

3. Booking, Quotes, and Acceptance

Service descriptions and prices shown on our website are invitations to enquire and may be adjusted based on the scope of your specific request. A binding agreement is formed only when we confirm your booking or accept your order in writing and, where applicable, payment has been received. We reserve the right to decline any request at our discretion, including requests that fall outside the scope of our online offering or that would require us to handle physical food.

4. Fees and Payment

Fees for each service are communicated before work begins. Prices displayed on the website are indicative starting rates expressed in United States Dollars and reflect typical market ranges for comparable online culinary services. Final pricing depends on complexity, turnaround, and the number of revisions requested. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due in full before delivery of digital materials or before a scheduled live session. You are responsible for any applicable taxes, currency conversion charges, or payment-processor fees.

5. Scheduling, Rescheduling, and Attendance

Live services such as virtual cooking guidance and workshops are delivered at scheduled times agreed between you and us. It is your responsibility to attend on time and to ensure you have a stable internet connection, a functioning device, and the ingredients or equipment recommended in advance. If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please refer to our Refund & Cancellation Policy for the applicable notice periods and options. We are not responsible for sessions missed due to your technical issues, absence, or lack of preparation.

6. Client Responsibilities

You agree to provide accurate information about your goals, dietary requirements, allergies, equipment, and skill level so that we can tailor our guidance appropriately. You remain solely responsible for the safe handling, storage, preparation, and cooking of any ingredients in your own kitchen, including verifying that ingredients are safe for you and anyone you cook for. You are responsible for confirming that any recipe or plan we provide is suitable for your personal health circumstances before you rely on it.

7. Allergies, Health, and Dietary Notice

Our services are general in nature and are not a substitute for professional medical, nutritional, or dietary advice. We are not physicians, registered dietitians, or licensed nutritionists unless expressly stated in writing. If you have food allergies, intolerances, medical conditions, or specific nutritional needs, you should consult a qualified professional before acting on any information we provide. You assume all risk associated with preparing and consuming any dish based on our guidance.

8. Intellectual Property

All original recipes, written guides, plans, illustrations, layouts, branding, and other materials created by Arlix Food remain our intellectual property unless we expressly assign rights to you in writing. When you purchase a custom deliverable, you receive a personal, non-exclusive license to use that deliverable for the purpose described at the time of purchase. Commercial redistribution, resale, sublicensing, or republication of our materials requires our prior written consent and, where applicable, a separate commercial license.

You retain ownership of any content you provide to us, and you grant us a limited license to use that content solely for the purpose of delivering the service you requested.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree to use our website and services lawfully and respectfully. You may not misuse our materials, attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, resell our services as your own, or use our guidance to create content that is unlawful, defamatory, or harmful. Additional rules are set out in our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

10. Third-Party Tools and Links

We may deliver sessions or materials using third-party platforms such as video-conferencing or file-sharing tools. Your use of those platforms is subject to their own terms and privacy practices. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or conduct of any third-party service, and any links we provide are for convenience only.

11. Disclaimers

Our services and materials are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any recipe, plan, or technique will meet your expectations. Further detail is provided in our Disclaimer.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Arlix Food and its owners, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, our services or materials, including any loss related to food preparation, ingredient costs, health outcomes, or business results. Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to us for the specific service giving rise to the claim.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Arlix Food from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your misuse of our services, your violation of these Terms, or your preparation, serving, or sale of food to others based on our materials.

14. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to our services if you breach these Terms, misuse our materials, or engage in conduct that is unlawful or harmful. You may stop using our services at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability, will continue to apply.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. The revised Terms take effect when posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of our services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Montana, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or our services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Montana, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

17. Entire Agreement and Severability

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, Refund & Cancellation Policy, Disclaimer, Cookie Policy, and Acceptable Use Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Arlix Food regarding your use of our services. If any provision is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
