Other legals like Warranties and Disclaimers
This legal stuff is all too much. We’re giving you some ideas for great recipes. We are not promising that you *will* have a great meal, that that recipe will be the most amazing recipe ever or that spending $250 on Kobe beef is the best use of your time and money. So don’t get mad with us if you burn the steak. That’s basically our way of saying that you can’t say you are relying on our recipes for anything more than what they are: guidelines to having fun in the kitchen. Which means you can’t sue us if you don’t like the result, or the meat burned, or something bad happened to you and that that’s our fault. It sounds negative to say it, but apparently we have to disclaim that the site is fit for any purpose than what we’ve already said on here. So, basically, caveat emptor. You get the message.
There’s a lot of other legal things we should apparently be saying here, but since this is just a beta, we’ll leave it at that for the moment. If you check back in a few months, I am sure this section will be much longer and official sounding than it is now.
