Terms of Service
Last updated: July 2026
Welcome to The Pantry Butler ("The Pantry Butler", "we", "us", "our"), a product of My Media Matters. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and us governing your use of the website and app at thepantrybutler.com (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Who can use the Service
You must be at least 13 years old (and old enough to form a binding contract where you live) to use the Service. If you use it on behalf of a household or family, you're responsible for the activity of members you invite.
2. Your account
We use passwordless sign-in: you request a one-time link sent to your email. Keep access to your email secure — anyone who can open the link can access your account. You're responsible for the activity under your account. Tell us at hello@thepantrybutler.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
3. Free and Premium plans
The Service offers a free plan with usage limits and a paid Premium plan that removes those limits and unlocks additional features (such as an unlimited recipe library, unlimited Olive AI requests, and the shared Family Pantry). Current features and limits are described on our pricing page and may change over time.
4. Billing, renewal & cancellation
Premium is billed as an annual subscription through our payment processor, Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method the then-current price (or your locked-in Founding price, if applicable) at the start of each term. Subscriptions renew automatically each year unless you cancel before the renewal date.
You can cancel anytime from your account settings; your Premium access continues until the end of the paid term. Refunds are handled under our Refund & Cancellation Policy, which is part of these Terms. We may change prices; changes apply to future terms, and we'll give you notice before a renewal at a new price. Founding prices remain locked as described at purchase.
5. Your content
You keep ownership of the recipes, photos, notes, and other content you add ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and display Your Content solely to operate the Service for you and any household members you share it with. You are responsible for having the rights to anything you upload, and for not uploading content that infringes someone else's rights or violates the law.
6. Sharing within a household
When you share a recipe with your Family Pantry or invite members, those members can view (and, where enabled, save) what you've shared. Only share content you're comfortable letting those members see. You can stop sharing or remove members at any time.
7. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the Service. In particular, don't: break the law; upload malicious code; scrape or overload the Service; attempt to access other users' data; resell the Service; or upload hateful, harassing, or illegal content. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
8. Olive & AI features
The Service includes AI features ("Olive") that generate recipe ideas, suggestions, and answers. AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your situation. Always use your own judgment. Olive is not a substitute for professional nutrition, dietary, allergy, or medical advice.
9. Food safety — please read
The Service helps you save and organize recipes, including home canning and preserving. Improper canning, preserving, cooking, storage, or handling of food can cause serious illness (including botulism) or injury. Recipes and AI suggestions are provided for general information only and are not guaranteed to be safe, tested, or accurate. You are solely responsible for following trusted, tested food-safety guidance (such as the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning or your local extension service), for checking ingredients against your own allergies and dietary needs, and for preparing and storing food safely. We are not liable for any illness, injury, or loss resulting from recipes, canning, or food prepared using the Service.
10. Affiliate links
Some outbound links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure. We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Program.
11. Our intellectual property
The Service — including the name "The Pantry Butler", the "Olive" character and mascot, our logos, design, and software — belongs to us and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms don't give you any right to use our brand or marks without our permission.
12. Third-party services
We rely on third parties to run the Service, including Cloudflare (hosting), Stripe (payments), Resend (email), and Anthropic (AI). Your use of the Service may be subject to their terms, and we aren't responsible for their services.
13. Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content (including AI output and recipes) is accurate or safe.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we (and My Media Matters) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.
15. Termination
You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Service. You can export or delete Your Content before closing your account.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Continuing to use the Service after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
17. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located there, except where local consumer-protection law gives you other rights.
