Terms of Use

Last updated October 12, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Back Burner Eats LLC, an Arizona company ("we", "us"), for the Back Burner app and website. By creating an account or using the app you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Back Burner.

What Back Burner does

Back Burner turns recipe posts you choose to save, for example from Instagram or Facebook, into simplified recipes with estimated nutrition, weekly meal plans, shopping lists and cooking timelines. You need an account to use it.

Back Burner Pro, free trials and billing

• Pro is a subscription, monthly or yearly, that unlocks recipe imports, meal plans, shopping lists and Cook mode. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
• Free trial: new subscribers may get a free trial (currently 7 days, with up to 15 recipe imports). Unless you cancel before it ends, the subscription starts and you're charged automatically. One trial per store account.
• Billing is handled by Google Play or the Apple App Store, using the payment method on your store account. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel.
• Cancelling: cancel anytime in Google Play or App Store subscription settings (the app's Profile tab links there). You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app or your account doesn't cancel a store subscription.
• Refunds follow the store's policies; contact Google or Apple for refund requests.
• We may change prices or features. Price changes for an existing subscription follow the store's rules, which include notifying you first.

Your account and content

• Keep your sign-in secure and give accurate information. You're responsible for activity on your account.
• Only import posts and text you're allowed to use. Your library is private to you; Back Burner doesn't publish your saved recipes. Recipes stay credited and linked to their original creators.
• Don't misuse Back Burner: no attempts to break, overload, scrape or reverse-engineer the service, and no unlawful use.

Recipes and nutrition are estimates

Simplified recipes, cooking times and nutrition figures are produced automatically, partly with AI and public nutrition data, and can be wrong or incomplete. Check ingredients for allergens and dietary needs yourself, follow safe food-handling practices, and don't rely on Back Burner for medical or dietary advice. Talk to a qualified professional about your health and diet.

Our service

We work to keep Back Burner running, but we provide it "as is" and can't promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change or discontinue features. Back Burner, its design and software belong to us; the recipes and posts you import remain their creators' work.

Ending your use

You can delete your account anytime from the Profile tab (see Delete your account). We may suspend accounts that break these terms.

Limits on liability

To the extent the law allows, Back Burner Eats LLC isn't liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us for Back Burner in the 12 months before the claim. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of Arizona, USA. If we change them we'll update this page and the date above, and for significant changes let you know in the app. Questions: hello@backburnereats.com.
