Terms of Use
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 27, 2026
These terms cover your use of the Sous iPhone app, made by Ryan Allred ("we"). By using Sous you agree to them. Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies.
What Sous does
Sous converts recipes you provide into structured, guided cooking steps using AI (OpenAI), stores them in your private library, and guides you through cooking them. AI output can contain mistakes — always use your own judgment on cooking times, temperatures, and food safety, and check ingredients yourself for allergens and dietary needs. You cook at your own risk.
Sous Plus subscription
- Your first 3 recipe conversions are free. Converting more recipes requires the Sous Plus auto-renewing subscription (monthly or yearly; the exact price is shown in the app before you buy).
- Payment is charged to your Apple account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
- Everything you've already converted stays fully usable — cooking, scaling, and editing your saved recipes never requires a subscription.
- Fair use: conversions are capped at 100 per rolling 30 days and 20 per rolling 24 hours per account.
Your content
You keep all rights to the recipes you import. You're responsible for having the right to use the content you paste or photograph — import recipes for your own personal cooking, the way you'd bookmark or print one. Your library is private to your account; Sous doesn't publish or share it.
Acceptable use
Don't abuse the conversion service (automation, scraping at scale, reselling access), attempt to access other users' data, or use Sous for anything unlawful. We may suspend service in response to abuse.
Warranty & liability
Sous is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from use of the app, including cooking outcomes. Our total liability is limited to what you paid for the app in the past 12 months.
Changes & termination
We may update these terms (new versions posted here with a new effective date) and may discontinue the service. You can end the agreement anytime by deleting your account in the app (Settings → Delete My Data & Account) and canceling any subscription with Apple.
