Terms of Service
Last updated: April 13, 2026
Who we are
Broth is operated by MELANCIA METAFISICA UNIPESSOAL LDA, a company registered in Portugal (NIF 519312279).
The service
Broth is a recipe management and cooking assistant application. You can save recipes from Instagram, TikTok, and food blogs, plan meals, generate shopping lists, and use guided cooking timelines.
Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old to use Broth. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. If you are between 16 and 18, you confirm that you have your parent or guardian's consent to use the service.
Your account
- You must provide accurate information when signing up.
- You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
- One account per person. Do not share your account.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
Your content
You retain ownership of all content you create in Broth, including notes, tags, ratings, and custom recipes. We do not claim ownership of your content.
By using Broth, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. We do not use your content for advertising, promotional, or marketing purposes. We do not publish your content outside of your own account.
Recipe content extracted from URLs is sourced from publicly available web pages. Broth acts as a personal bookmarking and organisation tool for this content. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of imported recipe content is consistent with applicable copyright law and the terms of the original source.
AI features
Broth uses AI (via Anthropic's Claude) to extract recipe content, generate cooking timelines, and suggest ingredient substitutions. These AI features operate on content and sources chosen by you in order to extract and organise information. AI processing is performed at your direction and does not involve automated decision-making or profiling.
AI-generated content is provided as a convenience and may contain errors — including incorrect measurements, timings, or ingredient information. Always use your own judgment when cooking. We are not liable for any consequences arising from reliance on AI-generated content.
Beta program
Broth is currently in beta. Features may change, break, or be removed without notice. We make no guarantees about uptime, reliability, or data persistence during the beta period.
Beta testers who are accepted into the program receive 3 months of Pro access at no cost. This promotional access is conditional on providing feedback about the product via the in-app feedback form or email. MELANCIA METAFISICA UNIPESSOAL LDA reserves the right to revoke promotional access if the feedback condition is not met.
The Founding Tester badge is a permanent, cosmetic profile feature granted to beta testers. It carries no monetary value and cannot be transferred.
Subscriptions and payments
Broth offers a free tier and a paid Pro subscription. Subscriptions are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play via RevenueCat. Billing, auto-renewal, and refunds are governed by the respective app store's terms. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your app store account settings.
Prices are displayed in your local currency and may include applicable taxes. We reserve the right to change pricing with reasonable notice. Price changes will not affect active subscription periods.
Intellectual property
The Broth app, website, branding, and underlying technology are the intellectual property of MELANCIA METAFISICA UNIPESSOAL LDA. You may not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from any part of the service.
If you believe content on Broth infringes your copyright, please contact us at support@getbroth.app with a description of the allegedly infringing material and proof of your ownership. We will investigate and respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Disclaimer of warranties
Broth is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Recipe content extracted via AI may contain inaccuracies. Cooking involves inherent risks — always exercise your own judgment regarding food safety, allergens, and cooking techniques.
