- Users can receive AI-generated recipes based on their preferences, dietary needs, and inputs. MealMend is intended for informational and inspirational purposes only. The recipes and meal plans provided are suggestions generated by artificial intelligence and are not intended to replace professional medical, nutritional, or dietary advice.

3. AI-Generated Content and Important Disclaimers
All recipes, meal plans, and nutritional information generated by MealMend are created using artificial intelligence and are provided solely as suggestions. You acknowledge and agree to the following:
- AI-generated content can contain errors. MealMend does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, safety, or reliability of any recipe, ingredient list, measurement, cooking instruction, or nutritional information generated by the Service.
- Recipes may include incorrect quantities, missing steps, unsuitable ingredient combinations, or outdated information.
- You are solely responsible for carefully reviewing every recipe before preparing or consuming any food. This includes verifying ingredients, checking for potential allergens, and ensuring the recipe is safe and appropriate for your needs.
- MealMend is not a substitute for professional advice. The Service does not provide medical, nutritional, dietary, or health advice. You should consult a qualified healthcare professional, registered dietitian, or physician before making any changes to your diet, especially if you have any medical conditions, allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions.
- MealMend shall not be liable for any illness, allergic reaction, injury, adverse health effect, or other damages resulting from your use of, or reliance on, any AI-generated recipes or meal plans.

MealMend offers optional paid subscription plans. Subscriptions are billed automatically on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, depending on the plan you select). You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. If you cancel, you will continue to have access to paid features until the end of your current billing period. Your subscription will not renew after cancellation.
Refund Policy
- MealMend does not provide refunds or credits for any partial membership periods or for any unused portion of your subscription. We do not offer refunds when you cancel your subscription. Refunds are only issued in limited circumstances at MealMend's sole discretion (for example, in cases of billing errors). Any decision regarding refunds is final.
