These Terms of Use apply to your use of Lyumart (lyumart.com), including the recipes, collections, author profiles, comment and rating features, and the other pages of the site. By visiting or using Lyumart, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the site.

These terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains what data is collected when you use the site and why.

2. Use of Content and Copyright

The recipes, text, images, graphics, layout and logo on Lyumart belong to Lyumart or are used with permission, and they are protected by copyright. You are welcome to use the content in the following ways:

• View, print or save a recipe for your own personal, non-commercial use, for example to cook it at home or share it with family and friends.
• Share a link to a recipe or collection page on social media, in a message or on your own site.
• Quote a short excerpt, such as a sentence or two, as long as you clearly credit Lyumart and link back to the original page.

Without our prior written permission, you may not copy and republish full recipes, photos or articles on another website, app, newsletter or social profile; sell or otherwise use our content commercially; or present our content as your own. If you would like to ask about a different kind of use, please reach out through the contact page.

3. User Submissions

Lyumart lets you submit ratings and comments on recipes and send us messages through the contact form. By submitting anything, you confirm that:

• you wrote it yourself or have the right to share it;
• it does not infringe anyone else's copyright, privacy or other rights;
• it does not contain unlawful, abusive, hateful, misleading or spam content, or links to such content.

Comments and ratings are visible to other visitors, so please do not include personal details such as your address or phone number. When you post a comment or rating, you give Lyumart a non-exclusive, royalty-free right to display, store and, where needed, edit it (for example to correct formatting or remove inappropriate parts) in connection with running the site. You keep ownership of what you wrote.

We may remove or decline to publish any comment or rating that breaks these terms or that we consider off-topic or harmful. Messages sent through the contact form are used only to reply to you.

4. Recipe and Nutrition Disclaimer

Recipes on Lyumart are developed and edited to give clear steps, realistic times and temperatures, ingredient substitutions and food-safety notes. Even so, cooking is never perfectly predictable, and you remain responsible for how you prepare, store and serve food in your own kitchen.

Results will vary

Oven and stovetop behavior, pan size and material, ingredient brands, the ripeness and size of produce, altitude and your own technique all influence the outcome. Treat the times and temperatures in a recipe as a guide and use your judgment, adjusting where your equipment or ingredients differ.

Food safety and doneness

Always wash your hands and surfaces, keep raw and cooked foods separate, and refrigerate leftovers promptly. Check doneness with a food thermometer rather than by color or timing alone. As a general reference, the USDA recommends an internal temperature of 165°F for poultry, 160°F for ground meats and 145°F for whole cuts of beef and fish, but you should check current official guidance for the food you are cooking.

Home-canning and pickling recipes in particular require careful, tested procedures, so follow current guidelines from a recognized food-safety authority and discard anything that looks, smells or seems unsafe.

Allergens and dietary needs

Recipes may contain or come into contact with common allergens such as milk, eggs, wheat, nuts, peanuts, soy, fish and shellfish. Ingredient substitutions suggested in a recipe may not suit every allergy or diet. Always read the labels of the products you buy, and check every ingredient against your own or your guests' allergies and restrictions before cooking.

Nutrition information

Where nutrition values are shown, they are estimates intended as a rough guide. They can differ depending on the brands, ingredient amounts and portion sizes you use. They should not be relied on for medical purposes.

Not medical or dietary advice

Nothing on Lyumart is medical, nutritional or dietary advice, and it does not replace the guidance of a doctor, registered dietitian or other qualified professional. If you have a health condition, are pregnant, or follow a special diet, speak with a professional before changing how you eat. Recipes labeled with a diet term, such as keto or dairy free, are provided for general inspiration and you should confirm they fit your needs.

5. Third-Party Links, Ads and Services

Lyumart may link to other websites, including our Pinterest profile, and shows advertising served by Google AdSense. We do not control third-party sites or advertisers, and we are not responsible for their content, products, availability or privacy practices. Linking to or showing a third party is not an endorsement. Please review their own terms and privacy policies. Information about cookies and the choices you have for advertising is available in our Privacy Policy.

If you buy a product or use a service from a third party after seeing it on or through Lyumart, that arrangement is solely between you and that third party.

6. Acceptable Use

Please use Lyumart in a way that is lawful and respectful of other visitors. You agree not to attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the site or its servers, use automated tools to copy large parts of the site, submit malicious code, or use the comment and contact features to harass others or send unsolicited advertising.

7. Availability and Accuracy

We work to keep the site running and the information on it useful and accurate, but we cannot promise that it will always be available, error-free or up to date. Content may be changed, moved or removed at any time without notice. If you spot a mistake in a recipe, please let us know through the contact page.

8. Limitation of Liability

Lyumart and the recipes on it are provided for general information and inspiration, on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Lyumart and its authors and contributors are not liable for any illness, injury, allergic reaction, property damage, loss or other harm arising from the use of, or inability to use, the site or its recipes, or from reliance on any content, nutrition estimate or third-party link. By following a recipe, you accept responsibility for your own food preparation and safety choices.

Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have under mandatory consumer-protection law that cannot be waived.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time, for example when features of the site change or when the law requires it. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. By continuing to use Lyumart after changes are posted, you accept the revised terms. We encourage you to look at this page occasionally.
