These terms govern your use of gatherdinners.com. By reading, printing, sharing or otherwise using the site, you accept them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

What this site is

Gather Dinners publishes recipes and cooking guidance for general information. It is a publication, not a professional service. It does not provide medical, nutritional, dietary or food-safety advice, and nothing on it should be treated as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances. The disclaimer sets out the limits of what is published here, and it forms part of these terms.

Using the site

You may read the site, print recipes for your own use, and cook from them freely, including for a business that serves the food you cook. What you may not do is:

  • republish a recipe, an article or a photograph from this site, in whole or in substantial part, on another site, in print, or in an app, whether or not you credit us;
  • scrape, crawl or copy the site in bulk, by hand or by automated means, including for the purpose of training a machine-learning model;
  • present our material as your own, or remove attribution and licensing information;
  • interfere with the site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or attempt to gain access to any part of it that is not publicly available;
  • use the site in a way that breaks any law that applies to you.

You are welcome to link to any page here, to quote a short passage with a link back, and to share a link on social media. If you want to adapt a recipe and publish your version, rewrite the method in your own words and link to the original; that is normal practice and we have no problem with it.

Intellectual property

The text, layout, design and original images on this site are protected by copyright and are owned by Gather Dinners or used under licence. A list of ingredients is not itself protected by copyright, but the written method, the headnotes and the photography are. Requests for permission to reuse material go through the contact form.

If you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, write to us through the contact form identifying the material, the page it appears on, and your rights in it. Claims are reviewed promptly and material is removed where the claim is well founded.

What you send us

When you send a message, leave a comment or submit any other material, you keep ownership of it, and you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, store and, where appropriate, quote it in connection with running the site. You confirm the material is yours to send and that it is not unlawful, abusive or infringing. Comments that are spam, abusive or off-topic are removed without notice, and we are under no obligation to publish anything you send.

Links to other sites

Pages here link to other sites that we do not run. Those links are provided because they are useful, not as an endorsement, and we have no control over what appears on them or how they handle your data. Following an external link is at your own risk and that site’s own terms apply once you arrive.

Advertising and affiliate links

The site is supported by advertising and may include affiliate links, which can earn a commission on a purchase you make at no additional cost to you. Advertising does not determine what is published and does not influence how any product is described. Full details are on the disclaimer page.

Availability

We aim to keep the site available and accurate, but we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of anything harmful. Pages may be changed, corrected, moved or withdrawn at any time without notice, and recipes may be revised when a better method is established.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Gather Dinners is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or from your reliance on anything published here, including loss of profit, loss of data, spoiled ingredients, an unsuccessful dish, or any indirect or consequential loss. You cook at your own risk and remain responsible for handling food safely, for checking ingredients against your own allergies and dietary requirements, and for cooking food to a safe internal temperature. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

Privacy

How your information is handled is set out in the privacy policy and the cookie policy, which form part of these terms.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and the version published here is the one that applies to your visit. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Severability and governing law

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which the site is operated, without affecting any mandatory consumer protection you enjoy where you live.
