1. What Sazón It is

Sazón It is a food-content application that offers one short recipe per day in card format (image + ingredients + steps), a browsable recipe catalog, estimated nutritional information, personal-organization features (saving recipes, "pantry", plans, achievements, timer), and optional artificial-intelligence and food-venue discovery features. The Service is available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.

The Service exists in two modes:

  • Free, supported by advertising.
  • Premium (paid), which removes advertising and enables additional features (see §7).

2. Acceptance, legal capacity, and minimum age

To use the Service you must be at least 18 years old. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the authorization and under the supervision of your mother, father, or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use.

By accepting, you represent that you have the legal capacity to be bound by this agreement and that the information you provide is truthful. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind it.

3. User account

  • Use without an account. Sazón It works without registration: your profile, your saved recipes, and your activity are stored locally on your device (local-first).
  • Registration. You may create an account with email and password, or via Google or Apple (Sign in with Apple). When you create an account, your local activity is merged with that of your account and, from then on, is synchronized across devices.
  • Security of your credentials. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for all activity carried out under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use at contact@kynodevs.com.
  • One person per account. Do not share your account or use another person's account without permission. Do not create accounts through automated means or with false data.

4. License to use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to install and use the Service on devices that you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You may not (nor allow third parties to): (a) copy, modify, translate, create derivative works, decompile, reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract the source code, except to the extent permitted by mandatory law; (b) resell, rent, lend, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its content; (c) extract, scrape, or mass-download the catalog, images, audio, or data (including by means of bots or scripts); (d) circumvent, disable, or interfere with security measures, usage limits, advertising, or access controls to Premium features; (e) use the Service to develop a competing product or service, or to train machine-learning models.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Service in accordance with the law and these Terms. In particular, you may not: use the Service for unlawful or fraudulent purposes; infringe the rights of third parties (intellectual property, privacy, honor); introduce malware or carry out attacks (brute force, denial of service, injection); overload the infrastructure or circumvent the rate limits (rate limits); gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data; misrepresent your identity or location; or abuse the AI features (see §8).

We may, without any obligation to do so, monitor usage to prevent abuse and apply technical limits (for example, IP limits and Premium-feature quotas). Full details are in the Acceptable Use Policy.

6. Content, intellectual property, and third-party content

  • Ownership. The Service and all of its elements —software, design, brand, the "Sazón It" logo, texts, the selection and organization of the catalog, the images and narrations produced by us— are protected by intellectual property and are owned by Kyno or its licensors. These Terms do not transfer any ownership right to you.
  • Food content. Recipes describe culinary procedures. Ingredient measurements, times, and techniques are indicative. See Disclaimers.
  • Third-party content. Part of the catalog was compiled from third-party sources and may include texts, data, or images attributable to their authors. Information about food venues ("I'm not cooking") comes from Google; we do not control or endorse it. See §9.
  • Third-party trademarks. "Google", "Apple", "App Store", "Google Play", and others are trademarks of their respective owners; their mention does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
  • Intellectual-property claims (notice and takedown). If you believe that any content in the Service infringes your rights, write to us at contact@kynodevs.com identifying the work, the allegedly infringing content (URL/screen), your contact details, and a good-faith statement. The full procedure (notice, counter-notification, and repeat infringers) is set out in the DMCA / Intellectual Property Policy.

7. Premium features, payments, and subscriptions

  • What Premium includes. Removal of advertising, access to the AI Chef and to "What are you cooking today?" (with a daily allowance of AI credits, see below), recipe narrations, the extended healthy mode, and nearby delivery search. The exact scope, the included daily credits, and the quotas may be adjusted and are disclosed in the app. Any Premium feature may be enabled, limited, modified, or discontinued (see §11).
  • Nature: auto-renewing subscription. Premium is a paid subscription purchased through the Stores, typically as a monthly plan (indicative price of approximately USD 2.99 per month) and/or an annual plan at a reduced price. The exact price, currency, and applicable taxes are shown in the Store before you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically for equal periods, at the price in effect, and you are billed through your Store account at the start of each period, until you cancel.
  • AI credits with a daily allowance. Premium includes a DAILY allowance of credits for the AI features (AI Chef and "What are you cooking today?"), which is renewed each day. Credits are NOT cumulative: any you do not use expire at the end of the day and do not carry over to following days. Credits are not redeemable for money, transferable, or refundable. We may adjust the daily amount and the credit cost of each action, disclosing it in the app.
  • Purchase and billing through the Stores. Purchases and subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play ("the Stores"), according to their platform and their conditions. Billing, renewal, purchase history, and refunds are handled exclusively by the relevant Store; Kyno does not process payments or refunds directly and does not access your payment-method data.
  • Cancellation. You may cancel renewal at any time from your account settings in the Store (generally at least 24 hours before the end of the current period). Cancellation stops future renewals but does not generate a refund of the period already paid: you keep Premium access until the end of that period, and then your account returns to the free (ad-supported) mode. When Premium ends, you stop receiving the daily credit allowance.
  • Refunds. Refund requests are governed by the Store's policies (Apple / Google) and are handled through their channels, not Kyno's. Unused AI credits are not refunded or converted into money. Where the law grants you a right of withdrawal (for example, consumers in the EU), when you begin the use of digital content you may lose that right if you give your express consent to immediate performance; we will inform you where applicable.
  • Price changes. We may change the subscription price or the composition of Premium in the future. We will notify you with reasonable advance notice and, where the Store requires it, you will be asked to accept the new price before the next renewal (if you do not accept it, the subscription does not renew). Changes do not affect the period already paid.
  • Trials and introductory offers. If we offer a free trial or introductory offer, its terms are disclosed in the Store; unless you cancel before it ends, it automatically converts into a paid subscription at the price in effect.

8. Artificial intelligence (AI Chef and suggestions)

The AI features generate text automatically from your queries and the recipe data, using models from third-party artificial-intelligence providers —depending on the configuration in effect, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), or OpenAI—. By using them you understand and accept that:

  • The responses are generated by automated means and may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or unsuitable for your case. They are not professional advice (medical, nutritional, food-safety, or otherwise) nor a substitute for a professional's judgment. Always verify before acting, especially in the case of allergies, intolerances, health conditions, pregnancy, or cooking of raw foods. See Disclaimers and the AI Notice.
  • Each AI query consumes credits from the daily allowance of your plan (see §7); unused credits do not accumulate. If a query fails due to an error on our part, we endeavor to refund the credit.
  • You must not enter sensitive personal data (health, etc.) or third-party data in the chat, nor use the AI to generate unlawful, harmful, defamatory, misleading content or content that infringes rights.
  • The recipe text and your query are transmitted to the AI provider to produce the response, in accordance with the Privacy Policy. We use those providers' commercial APIs, whose terms provide that data sent is not used to train their models. We do not guarantee continuous availability of these features or any particular result. See also the AI Notice.

9. Delivery / food venues ("I'm not cooking")

This feature displays nearby food venues using data from Google. The information (name, ratings, hours, distance, photos) comes from third parties: it may be out of date or incorrect and does not imply a recommendation or guarantee by Kyno. Any order, payment, or relationship with a venue is exclusively between you and that venue; Kyno is not a party. The use of your location for this feature is described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Advertising

The free mode is funded by advertising served by Google AdMob (apps) and Google AdSense (web), in formats including banners, native ads, and interstitials. The advertisements come from third parties; we do not endorse the products or services advertised, nor are we responsible for them. In addition, on an optional and voluntary basis, you may watch rewarded ads (you watch a video in exchange for temporarily unlocking a feature). It is always your choice and is limited (for example, once per day per feature); it does not create a subscription or a payment. The processing of data for advertising purposes and your controls (including the tracking permission on iOS, App Tracking Transparency) are detailed in the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.

11. Availability, changes, and updates to the Service

We strive to keep the Service available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the Service, features, or content, and release updates (which you may need to install to continue using it). In particular, many features (including Premium ones) are subject to availability flags (feature flags) and may be enabled, limited, modified, or discontinued at any time, in whole or in part and by region, without this giving rise to liability. Where a change materially affects a Premium feature already paid for, we will endeavor to notify you and offer a reasonable solution (for example, an adjustment or, where applicable, handling a refund through the Store).

12. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

  • "As is". The Service is offered "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied (merchantability, fitness for a purpose, accuracy, non-infringement), to the maximum extent permitted by law.
  • Nature of the content. Food and nutritional information is indicative and does not constitute medical or nutritional advice. In particular, the nutritional values are estimates calculated by an algorithm from the ingredients and quantities, are not laboratory-verified, and may differ from actual values. See Disclaimers, which are incorporated by reference.
  • Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kyno shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, nor for loss of data, use, or profits. Kyno's total aggregate liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) what you paid for Premium in the 12 months prior to the event, and (b) USD 50 (or its equivalent).
  • Consumer rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liabilities that cannot be excluded by law, including statutory warranties and consumer rights. In such cases, our liability is limited to the minimum permitted by the applicable law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to hold Kyno, its officers, and collaborators harmless against claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or the law; (b) content that you enter (for example, AI queries); or (c) the infringement of third-party rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent that consumer-protection law prohibits it.

14. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (see the Privacy Policy for data deletion). We may suspend or cancel your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, the law, or if your use creates a risk to the Service or third parties. Upon termination: your license to use ceases; certain clauses (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) survive. The termination does not entitle you to a refund unless the law or the Store's policy provides for it.

15. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence. Any dispute shall be submitted to the courts of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay, unless, as a consumer, the law allows you to bring proceedings before the courts of your domicile. We invite you to contact us first at contact@kynodevs.com to attempt an amicable resolution.

16. App store terms (Apple / Google)

When you download Sazón It from a Store, the following additionally applies:

  • This agreement is between you and Kyno, not with Apple or Google. The Store is not responsible for the Service or its content.
  • The license to use on Apple devices is limited to the terms of use of the App Store.
  • Apple and Google have no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the Service.
  • In the event of app failures, on iOS you may notify Apple, which may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country under embargo or on prohibited-party lists, in accordance with the applicable export-control rules.

17. General provisions

  • Entire agreement. These Terms and the referenced documents constitute the entire agreement between you and Kyno with respect to the Service.
  • Assignment. You may not assign your rights without our consent; we may assign this agreement (for example, in a corporate reorganization).
  • Severability. If any clause is declared invalid, the rest remains in effect.
  • No waiver. Failure to exercise a right does not imply a waiver of it.
  • Languages. We publish these Terms in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. In the event of discrepancies, unless the mandatory law of your country provides otherwise, the Spanish version prevails.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will publish the version in effect with its date and, in the event of material changes, we will notify you by reasonable means (notice in the app or by email if you have an account). Continued use after the effective date implies your acceptance of the updated version.
