1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using FreeChef, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our service.
2. Description of Service
FreeChef is an online platform that connects home cooks with individuals seeking personal chef services for events, dinner parties, and other occasions. We act as an intermediary and do not directly provide cooking services.
3. User Accounts
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account.
4. Cook Responsibilities
Cooks listed on our platform are independent contractors, not employees of FreeChef. Cooks are responsible for food safety, proper licensing, insurance, and compliance with local health regulations in their jurisdiction.
5. Payments and Fees
All payments are processed through our secure payment system. FreeChef charges a service fee on each transaction. Refund policies vary depending on cancellation timing and circumstances. See our cancellation policy for details.
6. Limitation of Liability
FreeChef is not responsible for the quality of food prepared by cooks, any allergic reactions, foodborne illnesses, or any damages arising from the use of our service. Users engage cooks at their own risk.
7. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of FreeChef after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
