Terms of Use

The site is free to use and does not require an account. You may browse, cook from and share our recipes for your own personal, non-commercial use.

We may add, change or remove features, recipes and articles at any time, and we may interrupt access for maintenance. We do not promise that the site will always be available or free of errors.

Recipes, cooking times, ingredient lists and articles are published for general information. They describe how a dish is commonly made; they are not professional culinary instruction and they have not been independently tested in a test kitchen.

Many of our recipes list ingredients without measured quantities. You are responsible for judging quantities, seasoning, cooking temperatures and doneness — particularly for meat, fish, eggs and pulses, which must be cooked properly to be safe. You are also responsible for checking ingredient labels for allergens.

Calorie figures shown on recipe pages are rough estimates for a single serving of the dish as described, and are labelled as estimates on the site. They are not laboratory analyses. Actual values depend on your portion size, brands, substitutions and how much fat you cook with.

Dietary labels such as "vegan", "vegetarian", "gluten-free", "low-carb" or "diabetic-friendly" are broad descriptions of the dish, not certifications. Always check the products you buy.

Nothing on Masala Spin is medical, nutritional or dietary advice. Meal plans and health or weight-related content are for general informational and educational purposes only. Consult a qualified healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have a medical condition, take medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If you send us a recipe, correction, message or other material through a form on the site or by email, you confirm that it is yours to share and that sharing it does not infringe anyone else's rights. You give us permission to publish, edit, adapt or decline to publish it, with credit where appropriate.

Please do not submit confidential information, or content that is unlawful, misleading, offensive, or copied from someone else. We may remove submissions at our discretion.

The site's name, layout, written articles and images are owned by Masala Spin or used with permission, unless stated otherwise. You may not republish substantial parts of the site, scrape it in bulk, or present our content as your own.

Recipes themselves are traditional dishes and no one owns the idea of a dish — but our specific wording, article text and photography are protected.

If you believe something on Masala Spin infringes your copyright, email masalaspin@erkupaetta.resend.app with the URL, a description of the work and your contact details, and we will review and respond.

We link to other websites where it is useful. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or privacy practices. Following an external link is at your own risk.

The recipe wheel, custom wheel builder and meal planner are convenience tools. The wheel selects randomly from the recipes matching your filters and does not consider your health, allergies or dietary requirements. Meal planner data is stored in your own browser, so clearing your browser data will remove it.

The chef bot uses a third-party AI language model to suggest dishes based on the ingredients you type in. These suggestions are generated automatically and are not reviewed by us before you see them. They can be inaccurate, incomplete or unsuitable for your diet, and they are not a substitute for a tested recipe. Use your own judgement, especially around food safety and allergens.

The site is funded by advertising and displays ads served by Google AdSense. We do not control which ads appear, and showing an ad is not an endorsement of the advertiser. See our privacy policy for how advertising cookies work.

You agree not to:

• interfere with the site's operation or security, or attempt to access parts of it that are not public;
• use automated tools to scrape, copy or overload the site or its API;
• click your own or others' ads artificially, or otherwise interfere with advertising;
• submit spam, malware or unlawful content through our forms;
• misrepresent your identity when contacting us.

The site is provided "as is". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content, including cooking outcomes, dietary decisions, food spoilage or allergic reactions.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.

We may update these terms as the site changes. The current version is always on this page, with the "last updated" date above. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
