Terms of Use

1. Using OPR

OPR is a home for real recipes and the stories behind them. Please use the site lawfully, respectfully and only for its intended purpose. Do not interfere with the site, attempt to access information you are not authorised to access, or use the site in a way that could harm OPR or other people.

2. Submitting a recipe or community contribution

When you submit a recipe, story, image, audio, “Meet the cook” photo, or a note about making someone else's recipe, you confirm that you have the right to share it. Do not submit material copied from a cookbook, blog or another source unless you have permission.

You also confirm that you have permission from anyone identifiable in a photo, recipe-card image or voice recording you share. Recipe submissions are currently open only to people aged 18 and over.

By ticking the contributor confirmation on the submission form, you grant OPR a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to publish, edit, adapt and reproduce your submission in connection with OPR, including on the site, in print, film, social media, events and a future OPR restaurant. We will credit you as agreed where reasonably practical.

You may ask us to remove a published submission from the site. Removal will not affect material already printed, recorded, shared or otherwise used before removal was reasonably possible.

3. Our editorial role

We may edit a contribution for length, clarity, spelling, format, accessibility or safety while respecting the substance of the contributor's story. We may decline, hide or remove content that is unlawful, offensive, misleading, unsafe, infringes someone else's rights or does not fit OPR.

4. Cooking, allergies and health

Recipes are shared by contributors and may not have been professionally tested. Check ingredients and allergen information, follow safe food-handling practices, adapt quantities to your circumstances and use your own judgement. OPR cannot guarantee that a recipe will be suitable for every dietary, medical or allergy requirement. If you have an allergy, medical condition or dietary concern, take appropriate professional advice before cooking or eating a dish.

5. OPR content and links

OPR's name, logo, design, original text, films and imagery belong to OPR or its licensors. You may share links to public OPR pages, but you must not copy, reproduce or commercially exploit OPR content without our permission.

The site may link to third-party services such as social-media platforms. We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

6. Availability and liability

We work to keep OPR useful, accurate and available, but the site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We may change, pause or withdraw parts of it as OPR develops.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that, we are not responsible for losses arising from reliance on contributor recipe content or from temporary interruption of the site. Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

7. Privacy and changes

Our Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice explain how we use personal information and cookies. We may update these terms as OPR develops or when the law changes. The effective date at the top tells you when they were last updated.

8. Contact and governing law

Questions? Email info@otherpeoplesrecipes.co.uk. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction, except where consumer law gives you the right to bring proceedings elsewhere.
