As of: April 2026
This is a convenience translation. The German version is legally binding.
1.1 These Terms and Conditions (hereinafter “Terms”) govern the use of the mobile application “FreshCook” (hereinafter “App”), provided by Manuel Thalhofer — REBELUTIONS, Zur schwarzen Muttergottes 9, 89335 Ichenhausen, Germany (hereinafter “Provider”).
1.2 The App is available for Android. Before first use, the user will be informed of these Terms and asked for consent. Use of the App requires acceptance of these Terms.
1.3 The App is intended for persons aged 16 and older. Persons under 16 may only use the App with verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian (Art. 8(1) GDPR in conjunction with German law). In countries with a lower minimum age (e.g. 13 years in the USA under COPPA), the respective local age limits apply.
1.4 Deviating terms of the user shall not be recognised unless the Provider expressly agrees to their applicability in writing.
2.1 FreshCook is a recipe app that uses artificial intelligence (AI). The App offers the following core features:
2.2 The Provider endeavours to ensure high availability of the App but does not guarantee any specific level of availability. Maintenance work, technical disruptions, or force majeure may lead to temporary restrictions.
2.3 The AI features (photo recognition, recipe generation) require an internet connection and depend on third-party services (Google, Anthropic). The Provider is not responsible for technical disruptions at these third-party providers, unless the Provider is at fault. The Provider’s liability is otherwise governed by Section 9. Offline features (inventory, shopping list) are not affected.
2.4 The AI-powered features provide suggestions and estimates, not guaranteed results. In particular:
3.1 FreshCook uses artificial intelligence (AI) for image recognition and recipe generation. AI-generated recipes are labelled as such within the App (in accordance with Art. 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — EU AI Act).
3.2 AI-generated content may contain errors. The user is responsible for verifying all ingredients and preparation steps for accuracy, compatibility, and safety before use.
3.3 FreshCook does not provide allergen detection, allergen filtering, or any other features for identifying intolerances. FreshCook is not an allergy management tool and does not constitute nutritional advice. The user is solely responsible for checking recipes and ingredients for individual intolerances, allergies, or other health risks.
3.4 To process photos and generate recipes, data is transmitted to third-party APIs (Google Gemini for image recognition, Anthropic Claude for recipe generation). Further details are set out in the App Privacy Policy.
4.1 The App can be used without registration. An initial balance of 200 credits is available on each device.
4.2 Upon a first credit purchase, the user may optionally sign in with their Google account. Sign-in enables cross-device attribution of credits and purchases.
4.3 The user is responsible for the security of their account. The user is liable for all activities carried out through their account, unless the user is not at fault for any misuse.
4.4 Deletion of the user account and all associated data may be requested at any time by email to info@rebelutions.org. Further details are set out in Section 8 (Termination) and the Privacy Policy.
5.1 The Provider grants the user a simple, non-transferable, revocable right to use the App in accordance with these Terms.
5.2 The user agrees not to misuse the App. In particular, the following is prohibited:
5.3 Photos taken by the user are processed exclusively for the purpose of providing the services described in Section 2 and are not stored permanently. Further details are set out in the Privacy Policy.
6.1 The App uses a credit system. Credits are consumed when using AI features (photo scans, recipe generation). The current credit costs per feature are displayed within the App.
6.2 Credits may be purchased as one-time packages via Google Play Billing. The payment terms of Google Play also apply.
6.3 Purchased credits do not expire and are non-transferable. A payout or refund of unused credits is excluded, unless the user exercises their right of withdrawal (Section 7).
6.4 The Provider reserves the right to change the prices of credit packages with effect for the future. Credits already purchased remain unaffected.
6.5 The Provider reserves the right to change the credit costs per feature with effect for the future. Changes will be communicated to the user at least 30 days in advance.
6.6 Google Ireland Ltd. acts as the Merchant of Record for in-app purchases. Billing, taxation, and payment processing are handled by Google in accordance with the Google Play Terms of Service.
6.7 Should the Provider permanently discontinue operation of the App, users with unused, paid credits will be notified at least 60 days in advance. During this period, remaining credits may continue to be used.
7.1 Consumers residing in the European Union have the right to withdraw from a contract for digital content within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period begins on the day the contract is concluded (time of purchase).
7.2 To exercise the right of withdrawal, the user must inform the Provider (Manuel Thalhofer — REBELUTIONS, Zur schwarzen Muttergottes 9, 89335 Ichenhausen, Germany, email: info@rebelutions.org, contact form) by means of a clear statement (e.g. by email) of the decision to withdraw from the contract. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send the notification before the withdrawal period expires.
7.3 In the event of a valid withdrawal, the Provider shall refund all payments received from the user without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which the notification of withdrawal was received. The refund shall be made using the same means of payment as used in the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise. The user shall not be charged any fees for the refund.
7.4 Credits are digital content within the meaning of § 327(2) BGB (German Civil Code). The right of withdrawal expires prematurely if:
Without both of these consents, the 14-day right of withdrawal remains in effect, even if credits have already been used.
7.5 For purchases made through Google Play, the refund policies of Google Play also apply. In the event of conflicts between these Terms and the Google Play policies, the provisions more favourable to the consumer shall prevail.
(If you wish to withdraw from the contract, please complete and return this form.)

I/We (*) hereby withdraw from the contract concluded by me/us (*) for the purchase of the following digital content (*):
(*) Delete as applicable.
8.1 The user may terminate use of the App at any time by uninstalling it. Paid, unused credits remain associated with the user account and may be used upon reinstallation, provided a Google account is linked.
8.2 The user may request the deletion of their account and all associated data at any time by email to info@rebelutions.org. The user will be advised to use remaining credits before deletion is carried out. Upon account deletion, unused credits are forfeited irrevocably.
8.3 The Provider may suspend or delete the user account in the event of serious violations of these Terms, in particular misuse under Section 5.2. The user will be notified in advance, unless this is precluded for security reasons. In the event of account suspension or deletion by the Provider, the Provider will assess on a case-by-case basis whether a refund for recently purchased, unused credits is appropriate.
9.1 The Provider shall have unlimited liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health caused by a breach of duty by the Provider, as well as for damages caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct.
9.2 In the case of slight negligence, the Provider shall only be liable for the breach of material contractual obligations (cardinal obligations). In such cases, liability is limited to the foreseeable, typically occurring damage.
9.3 The Provider draws attention to the following characteristics of the AI-powered features (transparency notices, not exclusions of liability):
9.4 For free use of the App (initial credit balance), the Provider shall only be liable for intentional and grossly negligent conduct, to the extent permitted by law. This does not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health.
9.5 The above limitations of liability also apply in favour of the Provider’s vicarious agents.
9.6 Software — including AI-generated content — is considered a product under the EU Product Liability Directive (Directive (EU) 2024/2853). The user’s claims under the Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG) or its future revised version remain unaffected by the above provisions and cannot be limited or excluded by contractual arrangements. Liability for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health cannot be limited.
10.1 All rights in the App, including software, design, texts, and graphics, belong to the Provider.
10.2 AI-generated recipes may be used for personal purposes. Commercial redistribution is not permitted. The user does not receive exclusive usage rights to generated recipes — identical or similar recipes may also be displayed to other users.
11.1 The Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms with effect for the future, provided this is necessary for objective reasons and does not unreasonably disadvantage the user.
11.2 Amendments will be communicated to the user at least 30 days before taking effect. If the user does not object within 30 days of receiving the notification, the amended Terms shall be deemed accepted. The Provider will specifically draw the user’s attention in the amendment notification to the significance of the 30-day period, the right to object, and the right to terminate.
11.3 If the user objects to the amended Terms, the user shall have the right to extraordinary termination. In this case, the user will be given a reasonable period to use remaining credits.
12.1 The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
12.2 The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
13.1 The laws of the Federal Republic of Germany shall apply, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
13.2 For consumers residing in the EU, the mandatory consumer protection provisions of their country of residence remain unaffected.
13.3 The place of jurisdiction for disputes with entrepreneurs is Augsburg. For consumers, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies.
If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the applicable statutory provisions (§ 306(2) BGB).
