1. Introduction and agreement
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the websites, applications, and related services offered by Petu (the “Service”) between you and the operating company identified below (“Company”, “we”, “us”). The Service enables independent food creators (“Creators”) to publish structured recipe content and offer paid access to Fans, including by subscription and one-time recipe purchase.
By creating an account, accessing the Service, or completing a purchase, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is operated by Nodalstack Technologies (“Company”). Brand: Petu. Registered office: 302, Tukaram Apartment, Plot G30-31, Sector 19, 20, Belapur, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. No company identification number is listed here at this time. Legal and contractual notices: legal@petu.club.
2. Defined terms
“Fan” means a user who browses or purchases access to a Creator’s paid recipes or subscriptions.
“Creator” means a user who publishes recipe content and sets pricing on the Service.
“User Content” means text, images, recipe data, profile information, and other materials you submit to the Service.
“Purchase” means payment for a subscription or a one-time recipe unlock, as offered by the Creator and processed via our payment partners.
3. Eligibility and accounts
You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use payment features. If you allow a minor to use the Service, you are responsible for their activity.
You agree to provide accurate registration information and to keep credentials secure. You are responsible for activity under your account unless you notify us promptly of unauthorized use.
4. Description of the Service
Petu provides software for structured recipes (including fields such as ingredients, steps, yield, and timing), Creator storefronts, paywalls, and access control after payment. Features may change during beta or MVP phases; we will try to give reasonable notice of material changes where practicable.
The Service is a technical and payments facilitation layer. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Creators are independent of Company; they are not our employees, agents, or joint venturers. Commercial terms for recipe access are primarily between Creator and Fan; Company enables the transaction and may collect a platform fee as described at checkout or in Creator payout settings.
- Creators set which recipes are free or paid and set prices within limits the Service supports.
- Fans may subscribe for recurring access to a Creator’s paid catalog or purchase individual recipes where offered.
- Access to paid content is granted digitally after successful payment, subject to fraud checks and chargeback rules.
5. Acceptable use
You will not misuse the Service. Without limitation, you must not: violate law; infringe intellectual property or privacy rights; upload malware; attempt to bypass paywalls or access controls; scrape the Service at scale without permission; harass users; or use the Service to distribute illegal or harmful content.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules or pose risk to the Service or other users.
6. User Content and licence
You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display, distribute, adapt format for technical delivery (e.g. resizing images), and sublicense to infrastructure providers, solely to operate, improve, secure, and promote the Service.
Creators represent they have rights to all User Content they upload (including recipe text, photos, and branding) and that publishing it does not violate third-party rights.
We may remove User Content that violates these Terms or law, or that we reasonably believe is harmful. We are not obligated to monitor all content.
7. Fees, billing, and taxes
Prices for Creator offerings are set by Creators (subject to minimums or maximums we may configure). Company may charge Creators a platform or service fee (for example, a percentage of gross transaction value) as disclosed in the product, Creator dashboard, or checkout flow. Fees may change with notice where required by law or contract.
Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (for example Razorpay for India-oriented flows, and potentially other processors for other regions). Your use of payment features is also subject to the processor’s terms and privacy policy.
You are responsible for applicable taxes associated with your use of the Service or your sales as a Creator, except where law requires Company to collect remittance.
8. Trials, beta, and changes
Parts of the Service may be labelled beta or MVP. They may be less reliable or change frequently. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of updated Terms where permitted by law.
9. Intellectual property
The Petu name, logos, UI, and underlying software are owned by Company or its licensors. Except for the limited rights to use the Service in these Terms, no licence is granted.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other rights, send a notice with sufficient detail to identify the work, the allegedly infringing material, and your contact information to copyright@petu.club. We may remove or disable access to material where appropriate and will follow applicable law and our internal process.
10. Third-party services and links
The Service may link to third-party sites (for example Creator-linked video platforms). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or practices.
11. Disclaimers
Recipe content is for general cooking information. It is not medical, nutritional, allergen, or safety advice. Users with dietary restrictions or allergies must exercise independent judgment. Creators are responsible for the accuracy of their recipes.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service or content on it.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company’s aggregate liability for claims arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the total fees you paid to Company (excluding amounts passed through to Creators or payment processors) during the twelve (12) months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. If you paid no such fees in that period, Company’s aggregate liability will not exceed INR 5,000. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted. Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot legally be limited (including, where applicable, fraud or wilful misconduct).
13. Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Company and its personnel against third-party claims arising from your User Content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of law, except to the extent caused by Company’s wilful misconduct.
14. Term, suspension, and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of Terms, risk, or legal requirements. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including licences to the extent needed to retain server copies for a reasonable period, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and dispute terms) survive termination.
Upon termination, your right to access the Service ends. We may delete or retain data according to our Privacy Policy and legal obligations.
15. Dispute resolution and governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another jurisdiction’s substantive law.
Subject to non-waivable rights you may have under applicable consumer law, you and Company agree that the courts located in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms. We do not ask you to waive participation in class actions where such waivers are not permitted for you.
16. General
These Terms constitute the entire agreement regarding the subject matter and supersede prior understandings. If a provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
If these Terms are made available in more than one language, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by applicable law.
