Terms of service

1. The service and the provider

SousChef is a kitchen book for restaurants and tavernas: recipes, menus, pantry and stock, suppliers, orders, costs and allergen information, in Greek and English. The provider is Nikolaos Portokallidis, Al. Panagouli 10, 17885 Zografou, Athens, Greece, email info@sous-chef.eu (“we”).

• Businesses only. SousChef is offered only to businesses and professionals (restaurants, tavernas, catering, chefs) for use in their trade, not to consumers. By accepting these terms you confirm that you use SousChef for your business.
• Private beta. SousChef is an early version under development. It is free of charge at the moment. We may limit who can create an account, and we may change, limit or remove features, limits and data formats at any time. If we ever introduce a paid plan, we will tell you first, and nothing is charged unless you choose a paid plan yourself.

2. Your account

• You sign in with an emailed code or with Google. You need an email address you control, and you are responsible for what happens under your account.
• One account is for one chef or business. Do not share your sign-in with people who should not have access to your kitchen data.
• Give correct information and keep your email address up to date. You must be at least 18 years old and act for a business.

3. Acceptable use

Do not use SousChef to break the law or other people’s rights, to attack or overload the service, to try to reach another person’s data, to bypass the limits of the service (for example the limits on sign-in codes, AI imports and tool calls), to upload malware or content you have no right to upload, or to resell the service without our written agreement. We may suspend an account that does.

4. Your data and our licence

What you put into SousChef (recipes, prices, stock, suppliers, orders, photos) remains yours. You give us the right to store, copy, process and display it only as needed to run SousChef for you: to show and calculate it, to back it up, to import what you ask us to import, and to answer ChatGPT or Claude when you connect them. We do not use it for advertising and we do not sell it.

You promise that you may use the data you enter, including the contact details of suppliers. You can export all of it and delete your account at any time in Settings.

5. AI imports and the ChatGPT and Claude connections

• AI import is optional. When you run it, the content you import is sent to DeepSeek, as the privacy policy describes. The AI only proposes a draft; you review it before anything is saved.
• You can connect ChatGPT (OpenAI) or Claude (Anthropic) to your account. Your use of them is under your own account with them and their own terms and policies, which apply in addition to these terms and which we do not control. What they do with the answers they receive is their responsibility, not ours.
• Changes from ChatGPT or Claude are shown as a preview and saved only after you confirm. You can disconnect them at any time in Settings.

6. Messages to suppliers

SousChef never sends a message to a supplier by itself, and neither do ChatGPT or Claude through SousChef. It prepares the order text; you send it from your own phone, Viber, WhatsApp or email. You are responsible for what you order and for the suppliers you contact.

7. Check the results

SousChef calculates costs, quantities and allergens from the data you or your suppliers provided. A missing fact is shown as unknown, not guessed, but the data may still be incomplete or wrong. Allergen information in particular is a help and not a legal guarantee: check the product labels and your suppliers’ information before you tell a guest that a dish is safe. You are responsible for your menus, prices and food safety.

8. No availability or support commitment

SousChef is provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranty, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We make no commitment about availability, uptime, response times, support or the keeping of your data: the service may be interrupted, slow, wrong or unavailable at any time, and features may change or end. We may answer questions sent to info@sous-chef.eu, but we are not obliged to. The backups we make are for running the service, not a service to you. Keep your own copy of what you cannot do without: you can export everything in Settings.

9. Liability

You use SousChef at your own risk. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage, direct or indirect, that comes from using SousChef or from not being able to use it. This includes lost profit or revenue, lost or corrupted data, business interruption, wrong costs, prices, quantities, orders or allergen information, claims of your guests, staff or suppliers, and the acts or failures of third parties such as DeepSeek, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cloudflare and our hosting provider.

You will hold us harmless from claims of third parties that come from the data you enter or from how you use SousChef.

This does not exclude liability that Greek law does not allow to be excluded, in particular for intent or gross negligence (article 332 of the Greek Civil Code).

10. Ending the service and deletion

• You can stop using SousChef and delete your account at any time in Settings. Your data is then deleted, and it leaves the backups as they expire, as the privacy policy says.
• We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other users at risk, and we try to tell you first and let you export your data. We may end the whole service with 60 days’ notice by email and the chance to export.

11. Changes

We may change these terms. We change the date at the top and, for a change that matters, tell you in the app or by email before it applies. If you keep using SousChef after that, you accept the new terms; if you do not agree, you can delete your account.

12. Governing law and courts

These terms are governed by Greek law. The courts of Athens, Greece, have exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute about them or about SousChef.
