Trays Effective 2026-05-11 · v1.1

Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating a Trays account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be 13 or older. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm a parent or guardian agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

3. Your account

Provide accurate information. Keep your password secure. One account per person. You are responsible for everything that happens on your account.

4. Your content and the license you grant us

You own your content — your photos, your written recipe instructions, your captions, your comments. You grant 1001366752 Ontario Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, distribute, and create thumbnails of your content only as needed to operate the service. The license terminates when you delete your content (90-day backup carve-out — see §8 for retention timelines).

Recipe ingredient note: Under U.S. copyright law, mere lists of ingredients are not copyrightable (functional information). Your photos, your written instructions, and your captions are copyrightable; your bare ingredient list typically is not.

5. Acceptable use — what’s not allowed

You may not use Trays to engage in:

Apple App Store reviewers actively check that user-generated content platforms prohibit these explicitly.

6. Reporting and moderation, including appeals

In-app reporting and user blocking are how Trays handles community issues. We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion.

Appeals: if your content is removed or your account is suspended or terminated, you may appeal by emailing support@trays.app within 14 days of the action. We will acknowledge your appeal within 7 days and provide a final decision within 30 days.

7. Copyright (DMCA) takedowns

Trays Social complies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). To submit a takedown notice for content you believe infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing all elements required by §512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material and its URL on trays.app, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement under penalty of perjury, and your physical or electronic signature.

Designated agent:

Counter-notice: if your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notice meeting §512(g)(3) requirements to the same agent.

Repeat infringer policy: accounts that receive multiple substantiated takedown notices may be terminated.

8. Termination

You can delete your account in the iOS app at any time. We may terminate your account for violations of these Terms; appeals process is in §6. After termination, your content is removed within 30 days, with backups purged within 90.

Note: account deactivation is not currently supported — only permanent deletion. If you need a break, you can sign out indefinitely without losing your account.

9. Intellectual property

The Trays Social name, logo, code, and design are owned by 1001366752 Ontario Inc. Nothing in these Terms licenses them to you.

10. Food safety disclaimer

Recipes are user-submitted. We don’t verify ingredients, allergens, or food safety — cook at your own risk. We do not verify nutritional accuracy, dietary suitability, or fitness for any specific medical or dietary need. Consult a doctor for medical, allergy, or dietary advice.

11. Service “as is” and modifications

The service is provided as-is, with no warranty of accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the service or any feature at any time at our discretion, with reasonable notice for material changes that affect existing user data.

12. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total cumulative liability of 1001366752 Ontario Inc. for all claims arising from or related to these Terms or the service — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise — is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). This cap applies in aggregate across all claims. We do not exclude or limit liability for matters that Ontario law (or the law of your jurisdiction, if more protective) does not allow to be limited (e.g., gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or specific consumer protection rights).

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 1001366752 Ontario Inc. for losses caused by your content or your breach of these Terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes. Before commencing legal action, you must give us 60 days’ written notice and attempt informal resolution.

15. Binding individual arbitration and class action waiver

Any dispute not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Disputes are arbitrated on an individual basis only — no class actions. You may opt out by mailing or emailing us within 30 days of accepting these Terms. Small-claims court actions and intellectual property disputes are excluded from this clause.

This section does not apply to: (i) residents of Quebec, Canada (Quebec Consumer Protection Act prohibits class action waivers in consumer contracts); (ii) consumer residents of EU member states or the United Kingdom (mandatory pre-dispute consumer arbitration is unenforceable under the Unfair Contract Terms Directive 93/13/EEC and the UK Consumer Rights Act 2015); (iii) any other jurisdiction whose consumer law prohibits mandatory pre-dispute arbitration or class waivers. Users in those jurisdictions retain all dispute-resolution rights granted by their local law.

16. Apple-specific addendum

These clauses are required by Apple Schedule 1 and apply to App Store distribution.
