Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

Welcome to FoodTan.com. By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, please do not use the site.

1. About This Website

FoodTan.com is an independent Australian culinary resource providing recipes, meal-prep guides, supermarket price research, and budgeting tips. All content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

2. Recipes and Educational Content

Recipes are educational, not professional advice. Our recipes, meal plans, and nutritional estimates are general information, not professional dietary, medical, or nutritional advice. If you have a health condition, food allergy, or specific dietary needs, consult a qualified health professional before changing your diet.
Cook at your own risk. You are responsible for safe food handling in your own kitchen: washing produce, cooking proteins to safe internal temperatures, refrigerating perishables promptly, and checking use-by dates. We are not liable for foodborne illness, allergic reactions, or kitchen accidents arising from your use of our recipes.
Allergen awareness. Where a recipe contains common allergens (nuts, dairy, gluten, seafood, eggs, soy), we note them where practical — but ingredient labels change and cross-contamination happens. Always check the labels on the products you buy.

3. Pricing and Nutritional Estimates

All prices ($ AUD) and nutritional figures on this site are estimated research figures based on typical Australian supermarket pricing and standard ingredient databases. Actual shelf prices vary by store, state, and time; actual nutrition varies by brand and preparation. Treat these figures as planning guides, not guarantees.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Copy, republish, or redistribute our content in bulk without written permission
Scrape the site in a way that degrades its performance for other visitors
Submit spam, abusive, or unlawful content through our contact forms
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site’s systems
Use the site for any unlawful purpose

You may share individual recipes or articles for personal, non-commercial use with attribution and a link back to the original page.

5. Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, all text, original photography, graphics, and the interactive calculators on FoodTan.com are our property and protected by copyright. The recipe methods and cost research are our original work. Supermarket and brand names referenced in articles belong to their respective owners and are used for editorial identification only.

6. Third-Party Content and Links

The site may link to third-party websites (for example, supermarket sites). We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, pricing accuracy, or privacy practices.

7. Advertising

FoodTan.com displays advertising (including Google AdSense). Advertisements are provided by third parties; we do not endorse the products or services advertised. Your dealings with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian law, FoodTan.com and its operators will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of (or inability to use) the site or its content, including reliance on recipes, pricing estimates, or nutritional information. Nothing in these terms excludes rights you may have under Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

10. Comments and User Content

If the site enables comments or other user submissions, you retain ownership of what you post, but you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display it on the site. You are responsible for your own submissions: don’t post anything unlawful, defamatory, or infringing, and don’t post other people’s personal information. We may moderate or remove comments at our discretion.

11. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Australia. Any disputes will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Australian courts. We encourage you to contact us first at hello@foodtan.com if a dispute arises — most issues are resolved quickly with a straightforward conversation.

12. Severability

If any part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining parts continue in full force and effect.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date shows the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

14. Entire Agreement

These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the entire agreement between you and FoodTan.com regarding your use of the site. If there is ever a conflict between these documents, these Terms of Service take precedence for questions about site usage, while the Disclaimer governs questions about content reliance.
