5.1We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all general descriptions of the services available from us correspond to the actual services that will be provided to you. There may, however, be minor variations from descriptions from time to time.
5.2Where appropriate, you may be required to select your required Subscription. Different types of Subscription provide access to different features in the App.
5.3All pricing information is correct at the time of going online. We reserve the right to change prices and to add, alter, or remove special offers from time to time and as necessary. Changes will not affect Subscriptions that have already been purchased, but may affect renewals of Subscriptions.
5.4All Subscription prices are checked by us when your purchase is processed. In the unlikely event that we have shown incorrect pricing information, we will contact you in writing before processing your purchase to ask you how you wish to proceed. We will not charge you or activate your Subscription until you respond. If we do not receive a response from you within 3 business days, we will treat your purchase as cancelled and notify you accordingly in writing.
5.5In addition to Subscriptions, certain additional features, content, or enhancements within the App may be available for purchase on a one-off basis (In-App Purchases). In-App Purchases are separate from and in addition to any Subscription you may hold.
5.6The price of any In-App Purchase will be clearly displayed to you before you complete the purchase. Payment for any In-App Purchase will be charged to your chosen payment method immediately upon confirmation of your purchase.
5.7By completing an In-App Purchase, you expressly request that the purchased feature or content be made available to you immediately. Accordingly, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, In-App Purchases are non-refundable once access to the purchased feature or content has been granted, save where you have rights to a refund under clause 8.3 or applicable consumer protection legislation.
5.8If your Account is closed or suspended for any reason, you may lose access to any In-App Purchases associated with that Account. Where closure or suspension is due to your breach of these Terms and Conditions, no refund will be due in respect of any In-App Purchases. Where closure is at our instigation for any other reason, we will refund any In-App Purchases to the extent that you have not yet had reasonable access to them, calculated on a pro-rata basis where applicable.
5.9We reserve the right to modify, withdraw, or discontinue any In-App Purchase offering at any time. If we withdraw or materially alter an In-App Purchase that you have already completed, we will notify you in advance where reasonably practicable and, where you are materially adversely affected, we will offer a pro-rata refund or suitable alternative at our discretion. Nothing in this clause limits your rights under clause 16 or applicable consumer protection legislation.
5.10The App offers a live chef consultation feature ("Live Chef Consultations") that connects you with professional chefs for real-time cooking guidance via video call. Live Chef Consultations are a premium service available to Head Chef and Executive Chef subscribers on a pay-per-session basis. The applicable fee is displayed to you at the time of booking. Payment is processed through Stripe prior to the session commencing. Rates may vary depending on the chef, session duration, and demand.
5.11All chefs available through the App are independent contractors and are not employees or agents of Live Kitchen Rescue Ltd. Each chef is required to hold professional liability insurance, has undergone background checks and credential verification, and is bound by professional conduct standards and confidentiality obligations. We do not guarantee the qualifications, conduct, or advice of any individual chef beyond the verification process described in this clause.
5.12Live Chef Consultations are conducted via live video call and last between 15 and 60 minutes. Sessions are not recorded by us. AI-generated session notes may be saved to your account within the App. You must not record any session without the express prior written consent of the chef. Each consultation is a one-time session and does not create any ongoing advisory relationship between you and the chef.
5.13Live Chef Consultations are advisory only and do not constitute professional culinary, nutritional, medical, or food safety advice. By booking a Live Chef Consultation, you acknowledge and accept that: chefs provide guidance based on their professional experience but cannot guarantee food safety, cooking outcomes, or results; chefs cannot physically inspect your ingredients, equipment, or kitchen environment; all advice is based solely on the information you provide during the session; you must disclose all relevant food allergies and intolerances before the consultation begins; and you remain solely responsible for food safety standards, appropriate cooking temperatures, hygiene, and food handling, regardless of any advice given during the consultation.
5.14Live Chef Consultations are not suitable for food safety emergencies. For suspected food poisoning, allergic reactions, cooking injuries, or any other emergency situation, you must contact the appropriate emergency services immediately.
5.15You are solely responsible for implementing any advice given during a Live Chef Consultation and for any consequences arising from your reliance on such advice. Subject to clause 18.6, to the fullest extent permissible by law, neither we nor any contracted chef shall be liable for any injury, illness, property damage, or other adverse outcome resulting from advice provided during a Live Chef Consultation. Nothing in this clause limits or excludes any liability that cannot be excluded or restricted under applicable consumer protection law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud.
5.16All prices include VAT where applicable.
