Terms of use

Last updated: 26/10/2026 (draft)

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using CestaChef you accept these terms of use. If you do not agree with any of them, you must not use the service.

2. What the service is

CestaChef is an app for iPhone and Android, and a website (cestachef.es), that builds personalised weekly meal plans and shopping lists with estimated prices from supermarkets. The basic features are free; some extra features may need a paid subscription (see section 5).

3. Your account

You need an account to generate and save your plans. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details confidential and for everything done under your account. Tell us straight away if you notice any unauthorised use.

4. Prices and nutritional information

Prices shown are estimates taken from each supermarket's online catalogue on the day they were collected, and they can vary by store, by date or by promotions. CestaChef does not guarantee that the prices in the app match exactly what you pay in the shop. Nutritional information is an estimate and is not a substitute for advice from a health professional.

If you switch on “My goal”, your calorie target is worked out with a standard estimation formula from the details you enter, and the plan tries to get close to it without guaranteeing that it will. This is not medical or nutritional advice: CestaChef does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition and does not take your medical history into account. This feature is only for people aged 18 or over. If you have a medical condition, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to a health professional before following any plan.

Allergy filters help you narrow down recipes but do not replace reading the label on every product. Always check the packaging.

5. Subscriptions (CestaChef Premium)

Some features may be offered through a paid subscription, CestaChef Premium, bought inside the iOS or Android app. The price (in pounds, £, for the UK) and the length of each period are shown before you confirm the purchase.

  • Payment is taken by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) from the account you buy with.
  • The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, for the same price and length, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
  • You can manage or cancel it at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
  • Deleting your CestaChef account does not cancel the subscription: you must cancel it in the store.
  • Refunds are handled by the store where you bought, under its own terms. Your statutory rights under UK consumer law are not affected.
  • The subscription is linked to the CestaChef account it was bought with.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

  • use the service for anything unlawful or that infringes other people's rights;
  • try to access, change or disrupt CestaChef's systems without permission;
  • copy, distribute or exploit the content of the app commercially without our express permission.

7. Intellectual property

All the content of CestaChef (design, code, text, images) belongs to its creators or is used under licence. Using the service gives you no right over that content beyond personal, non-commercial access.

8. Our responsibility

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability where the law does not allow it, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Subject to that, CestaChef is provided “as is” and we are not liable for interruptions, errors in prices or decisions taken on the basis of the nutritional information shown.

9. Changes to the service

We may change, suspend or stop the service at any time. If the changes are significant, we will try to give you reasonable notice.

10. Affiliate links, sponsored content and partners

  • Affiliate links. Some links in CestaChef (for example to a supermarket's website) may be affiliate links: if you buy through them, CestaChef may earn a commission from the retailer. It does not change the price you pay. When you click one you leave CestaChef and go to the retailer's site, which has its own terms and privacy notice.
  • Sponsored content. If a brand sponsors a product, a recipe or other content, it is always marked with a clear label (“Sponsored” or “Ad”). Sponsored content never overrides your budget, your allergies or your diet.
  • Commercial partners and your data. They do not receive any of your personal data. Anything we share with them is aggregated figures (totals and percentages) that cannot identify anyone.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law that applies to the contract between you and CestaChef. If you live in the UK, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer rules of the part of the UK where you live, and you may bring a claim in its courts.

12. Who provides the service, and contact

CestaChef is provided by the operator named in the legal notice (in Spanish).
