• The recipes in this list are private: they are visible only to the user, are not published in the Service and are not shared with other users. Recipeat does not publish them.

In the absence of cancellation, these Terms will remain in force until the use of the Service ends. However, the provisions regarding intellectual property, the license to user content, limitation of liability and indemnification will remain in force even after the use ends or the Terms are cancelled. If a provision of the Terms is found by a competent court to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to and bind the parties.

24. Breach of These Terms

Recipeat may at any time suspend, block or immediately terminate the user's access to the Service, to the content or to part of them, temporarily or permanently, at its sole discretion, when there is a suspicion that the user has breached the provisions of the Agreement or the provisions of law, or for reasons of information security and risk management, in addition to any other remedy available to it under any law.

26. Conflict Between These Terms and Other Agreements

Nothing in the Terms of Use derogates from or modifies any other agreement between Recipeat or its owners and the user. The user may be subject to additional terms of use in documents relating to Recipeat's services (the "Additional Terms of Use"). The inclusion of any of the Additional Terms of Use in these Terms does not derogate from the user being subject to the other terms in the Additional Terms of Use.

27. Governing Law

These Terms of Use shall be governed exclusively by Israeli law, regardless of the place where the Service is used, the identity of the user or the identity of the owners of the Service.

29. Notices

A notice that Recipeat sends to the user at the email address they provided, or by a notice in the Service, shall be deemed to have reached its destination. A notice sent by registered mail with confirmation of delivery shall be deemed to have reached its destination within three business days from the date it was sent, and a notice delivered by hand – at the time of its delivery. Service of documents by registered mail to the user's registered address or to the address they provided to Recipeat shall constitute lawful service, even if the user does not reside there permanently. The user undertakes to inform Recipeat within 14 days of any change in their address or in other details they provided.

Such a delay shall not prevent Recipeat from exercising its rights at a later time.

These Terms do not confer rights on anyone who is not a party to them, and they are not a contract for the benefit of a third party within the meaning of the Contracts (General Part) Law, 5733-1973.

Recipeat may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, at its sole discretion. The user may not assign or transfer their rights under these Terms to a third party without Recipeat's explicit prior written approval, and any unauthorized assignment shall be void.
