Terms of Use

Last updated: July 24, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Forge Atelier Numérique inc. ("we", "us") for the Gather app. By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app.

License

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use Gather on devices you own or control. On iOS, the Apple Standard EULA applies to this app except where these Terms add to it. On Android, your use of Google Play is also governed by the Google Play Terms of Service.

The AI features and their output

Gather includes optional AI features that generate cooking suggestions, steps, and nutrition estimates. This content is produced by an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) and is provided for general informational purposes only:

• It may be inaccurate or incomplete. Nutrition and macro figures are estimates, not verified nutrition labels, and should not be relied on for medical, dietary, or allergy decisions.
• Always use your own judgment for food safety, allergies, and dietary needs, and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
• When you use AI features, the text you submit is sent to our server and to Anthropic as described in our Privacy Policy.

Acceptable use and fair use

You agree not to misuse the app or the AI service — for example, by attempting to break, overload, or reverse-engineer it, by using it for unlawful purposes, or by trying to access it other than through the app.

The AI features are provided for ordinary personal cooking use. Reasonable usage limits apply so the service stays available and affordable for everyone: we may set, change, and enforce limits on the volume and rate of AI requests, and we do not offer unlimited AI use. Automated or scripted requests, and use that is grossly beyond normal personal cooking use, are not permitted.

If your use breaches these Terms or materially exceeds normal use, we may take reasonable steps proportionate to the issue — for example slowing (throttling) requests, temporarily limiting or suspending the AI features, or, for serious or repeated abuse, suspending or terminating your access. Where we can, we'll aim to warn you first, except where an immediate step is needed to protect the service or other users. If we suspend or terminate your subscription because of these usage limits or fair use (rather than unlawful or bad-faith conduct), we will arrange a refund of the unused portion of your then-current billing period, processed by Apple or Google under their terms.

Subscriptions

Gather offers an auto-renewable subscription, "Gather AI", that unlocks AI features.

• The subscription's name, length, and price are shown in the app before you purchase and on the App Store or Google Play product page.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account (iOS) or your Google Play account (Android) at confirmation of purchase.
• It renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• You manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings or in Google Play subscription settings after purchase. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
• Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription, where applicable.

Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms or by Google under the Google Play terms.

Your content

You keep ownership of the recipes and content you create. They are stored on your device and in your own cloud account (see the Privacy Policy); we claim no rights to them.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The app and AI output are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app or reliance on AI-generated content. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law, including Quebec's Consumer Protection Act, that cannot be waived by contract.

Changes

We may update these Terms as the app changes; the "Last updated" date will reflect the latest version. Continued use after changes means you accept them.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada applicable in it, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. These Terms are also available in French.
