ReciKey™ Terms of Service · son of a good man™

Last updated: November 12, 2026. Effective: November 12, 2026 for new accounts, and December 12, 2026 for accounts created before November 12, 2026. Until then, the previous Terms apply to those accounts.

These Terms include an agreement to resolve most disputes by individual arbitration (Section 19). You can opt out within 30 days.

1. Agreement

These Terms are between you and Son of a Good Man LLC, 435 E. Market St., Long Beach, California 90805, USA ("we" or "us"), and cover the ReciKey app, website and related services (the "Services"). By using the Services you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the Services. ReciKey is currently offered in the United States.

2. Who can use ReciKey

You must be at least 13, or the minimum age where you live if higher, and able to enter this agreement. You confirm that you are not in a country under a U.S. Government embargo and are not on a U.S. list of prohibited parties.

3. Your account

Keep your sign-in secure. You are responsible for activity on your account. Keep your information accurate.

4. The Services

ReciKey helps you capture, keep, cook from and share recipes and family stories. Features may change. We'll try not to take away something you rely on without telling you.

5. Your content

You own it. You keep ownership of the recipes, stories, photos, recordings and other content you add ("User Content").

Permission you give us. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process, adapt (for example to transcribe, translate or format), display and transmit your User Content, only to run and improve the Services and to show it to the people you choose. The license ends when you delete the content, apart from backups as they expire and copies others have already saved. It doesn't let us sell your content or use it to train AI.

Publishing to Discover. When you publish, you also let other ReciKey users view, love, comment on, cook from and save a personal copy of it in the app. You also let us show it in the Services and use previews of it to promote ReciKey within the app. We won't use it in marketing outside the app without your separate permission. If you unpublish, it leaves Discover, and copies people already saved remain.

Rights you need. You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed for what you add, including from people who appear in it. Recordings of others should be made with their knowledge. For a child, you must be the parent or guardian or have that person's permission.

Rules. Don't add content that is unlawful, hateful, harassing, threatening, sexually explicit, exploitative of children, deceptive or an impersonation, or that infringes anyone's rights or privacy, or contains malware. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users.

6. Recipes and copyright

Lists of ingredients are generally not protected by copyright. The words, stories and photos around them often are, and belong to whoever created them. Handwritten family recipes may also have been written by someone else.

Import recipes from websites and other sources for your personal use.
Only publish to Discover what you wrote, or have permission to share, and credit it fairly.
Don't publish photos or text copied from another site, book or creator.
We may hold imported content for review or keep it off Discover.

7. Content from others

Content from other users is theirs, not ours. We don't check it, and we don't promise it is accurate or safe.

8. Moderation, reports and blocking

We use automated and human review, and may hold, remove or limit content and warn, suspend or close accounts. You can report content or people and block anyone in the app. We review reports within 24 hours. If we remove your content or restrict your account you can ask us to take another look at support@sonofagoodman.com. Reports of non-consensual intimate images can be sent to the same address, and we will remove valid reports within 48 hours.

We don't have to monitor content, and we're not responsible for failing to catch something.

9. AI features

AI can make mistakes, including with measurements, ingredients and allergens. Check what it writes before you rely on it. As between you and us, what AI produces for you is your User Content, though similar output may be produced for others. AI-made images are labelled and shouldn't be presented as real photographs of a dish or person. Don't use AI features to deceive anyone. We don't offer synthetic voices, and you may not use the Services to create one.

10. Food, health and safety

ReciKey doesn't give culinary, nutritional or medical advice. Recipes come from users and from AI, and may be wrong or unsafe. A family recipe may be decades old, and food safety guidance has changed.

Allergen labels, dietary flags and nutrition values are automated estimates and may be wrong. A recipe may contain an allergen that isn't labelled, including because a card or recording was misread. Always read the full ingredients and use your own judgment on allergies, safe temperatures, canning and storage. To the extent the law allows, we aren't responsible for illness, allergic reaction or injury from preparing or eating food. If you have a food allergy or medical condition, consult a qualified professional.

11. Family features and legacy

You choose what you share. Others may keep copies. We aren't responsible for disputes among family members, heirs or estates about recipes, recordings, ownership or access, and don't decide them. Legacy contact access works as described in our Privacy Policy, and isn't a substitute for a will. Family tree information is for your family's use, and isn't verified genealogy.

12. Plans and payment

Free and paid plans. What each includes is shown in the app.

Purchases. Purchases are made through Apple and charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you are charged for renewal within the 24 hours before it ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Deleting your ReciKey account doesn't cancel your subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple. Any free trial and its terms are shown before you buy, and unused trial time may end when you subscribe.

AI credits. Credits are shown in the app, have no cash value, and can't be transferred. Purchased credit packs don't expire while you keep your account, and are lost if you delete it.

Family plan. The buyer and up to 4 people they invite share the plan. The buyer is responsible for it. If it ends, members lose paid features. This is separate from Apple's Family Sharing.

If a paid plan ends, you keep your recipes and content. Some features and limits return to the free plan's, and video may stream in lower quality or need to be restored from the original.

13. Beta features

Early features may be unfinished and are provided as is.

14. Our property

The app, its design and the ReciKey name and logo belong to us or our licensors. You may not copy, scrape, reverse engineer or resell the Services, interfere with them or attempt unauthorized access, except as the law allows. ReciKey and our logos are trademarks of Son of a Good Man LLC.

Feedback you give us can be used without payment to you. If you post a public review or comment about ReciKey we may quote it, subject to applicable law.

15. Copyright complaints

Send notices to our Copyright Agent, 435 E. Market St., Long Beach, CA 90805, support@sonofagoodman.com, with the subject "Copyright Notice". Include what the Digital Millennium Copyright Act requires: your signature, the work, where the material is, your contact details, and your good-faith and accuracy statements. Counter-notices may be sent to the same address. We close the accounts of repeat infringers.

16. Ending your use, and ours

You may stop at any time and delete your account in Settings. We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, create risk, or as the law requires. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you why and give you a way to export your content, unless that would be unlawful or unsafe.

If we ever shut ReciKey down, we'll give at least 60 days' notice and a way to download your recipes and media, and refund any part of a prepaid plan where the law or Apple's rules provide for it.

Inactive accounts are handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

ReciKey isn't a guaranteed permanent archive. We work hard to keep your content safe, and it could still be lost. Keep your own copies of what matters most.

17. Disclaimers and limits

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY AND UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE.

TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE AREN'T LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA, CONTENT, PROFITS OR GOODWILL, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $50 OR WHAT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that can't be limited by law.

18. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover claims and costs that arise from your User Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of someone's rights.

19. Disputes

Talk to us first. Write to support@sonofagoodman.com. We'll both try in good faith to resolve it for 60 days.

Arbitration. If not resolved, disputes will be decided by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS in Los Angeles County, California, or by video where JAMS rules allow. Either of us may instead go to small claims court for an eligible claim, or ask a court to stop infringement of intellectual property.

No class actions. YOU AND WE EACH GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR JOIN A CLASS ACTION. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim goes to court, not arbitration.

Opting out. Email support@sonofagoodman.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your account email and a statement that you opt out of arbitration.

California law governs, without regard to conflict rules. Other disputes go to the state and federal courts in Los Angeles County.

California users. The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs can be reached in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or at (800) 952-5210.

20. Apple

These apply when you get ReciKey from the App Store:

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We alone, and not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content.
You may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as the App Store usage rules allow, including through Family Sharing where it applies. This license can't be transferred.
We alone are responsible for maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to provide them.
If the app fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
We, and not Apple, are responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability, failure to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
If a third party claims the app or your use of it infringes their intellectual property, we, and not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of the claim.
You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the app, such as your wireless data agreement.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you once you accept them.
Questions, complaints and claims go to us at the address in Section 22.

21. General

Other services. ReciKey relies on third parties we don't control, and we aren't responsible for their outages. You are responsible for your data and device costs.

Changes. We may update these Terms. For material changes we'll give at least 30 days' notice in the app or by email, and changes apply going forward. If you don't agree, stop using the Services before they take effect.

Other terms. We may send you notices electronically. If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger or sale, and you may not assign them without our consent. We aren't liable for events beyond our reasonable control. Sections that should by nature survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limits and disputes, survive termination. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us.
