Terms of Use

Last updated: October 2026

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using CestaChef you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You must be at least 13 years old to use CestaChef; if you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission. Diet Mode (“My goal”) is only for people aged 18 or over.

2. The service

CestaChef is an app for iPhone and Android, and a website (cestachef.es), that generates personalized weekly meal plans and grocery lists with estimated prices for the supermarket you choose. Basic features are free; some additional features require a paid subscription (section 5). How we handle your data is explained in our Privacy Policy.

3. Your account

To save your plans you need an account. You are responsible for keeping your login confidential and for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly at info@cestachef.es if you notice unauthorized use. You can delete your account in the app under Settings.

4. Prices, nutrition and health

Prices are estimates. Prices shown in CestaChef are estimates based on reference data and may differ from what you pay in the store because of the store, location, date, package sizes, stock or promotions. We do not guarantee that any price, total or budget shown matches what you will be charged at the register. Supermarket and brand names are used only to identify them and belong to their owners; CestaChef is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any supermarket.

Not medical or nutritional advice. The nutrition information is an estimate. If you turn on “My goal”, the calorie target is calculated with a standard estimation formula from the data you enter; the plan tries to approach it and does not guarantee it will reach it. CestaChef does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition, is not a substitute for a physician, registered dietitian or other qualified professional, and does not take your medical history into account. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are unsure, talk to a health professional before following any plan.

Allergies. The allergy filter helps you, but it can make mistakes. Always read the label of every product before you buy or eat it. You are responsible for what you eat.

5. Subscriptions (CestaChef Premium)

Some features are offered through a paid subscription, CestaChef Premium, purchased inside the iOS or Android app. The price and length of each period are shown before you confirm the purchase.

  • Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) charges the account you use to buy. We do not process payments.
  • The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, for the same price and length, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Renewal is charged to your store account within 24 hours before the period ends. Any free trial, where offered, converts to a paid subscription at its end unless you cancel before.
  • Manage or cancel at any time in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. After you cancel you keep access until the end of the period already paid.
  • Deleting your CestaChef account does not cancel your subscription: cancel it in the store.
  • Refunds are handled by the store where you bought, under its terms.
  • The subscription is tied to the CestaChef account it was purchased with.
  • “Forever” plan (one-time payment). Where offered, it gives access to Premium without renewals for as long as CestaChef is offered. If CestaChef stops being offered we will tell you by email and in the app as far in advance as we can. Premium features may change over time, but we will not take away the essentials you paid for without offering an equivalent alternative.
  • Our team may grant free Premium access to specific accounts for a stated time. That does not cancel or replace a subscription bought in a store. If a creator recommended CestaChef you may enter their creator code in the app; it only tells us who recommended us and does not change the price or what Premium includes.
  • Prices are shown in your store’s currency and may include taxes where applicable.

6. Acceptable use

You may not:

  • use the service for unlawful purposes or in a way that infringes the rights of others;
  • try to access, alter or interrupt CestaChef’s systems without authorization, or scrape the service at scale;
  • reproduce, distribute or commercially exploit the content of the app without our express permission.

7. Intellectual property

The content of CestaChef (design, code, text, images, recipes) belongs to its creators or is used under license. Using the service gives you no rights over that content beyond a personal, non-commercial, revocable license to use the app. Open-source components and their licenses are listed in licenses.

8. Affiliate links, sponsored content and partners

  • Affiliate links. Some links (for example, to a supermarket or store) may be affiliate links: if you buy through them, CestaChef may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. When you tap one you leave CestaChef for the store’s website, which has its own terms and privacy policy.
  • Sponsored content. If a brand sponsors a product, recipe or other content, it is clearly labeled (“Sponsored” or “Ad”). Sponsored content never overrides your budget, allergies or diet.
  • Partners and your data. They receive no personal information about you, only aggregate figures.

9. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CESTACHEF IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY OF PRICES OR NUTRITION INFORMATION, AVAILABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM INTERRUPTIONS, PRICE ERRORS, OR DECISIONS YOU MAKE BASED ON THE NUTRITION OR PRICE INFORMATION SHOWN. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by law, or liability that cannot be excluded by law.

10. Changes to the service and to these Terms

We may modify, suspend or discontinue the service at any time. If we make material changes to the service or to these Terms we will try to notify you in advance, by email or in the app. If you keep using CestaChef after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by Spanish law. Disputes are subject to the competent courts of Spain, except that if you are a consumer, you keep the mandatory consumer protection rights of the state or country where you live, and you may also bring a claim in the courts of your place of residence where the law gives you that right. Nothing in this section removes any right that cannot be waived under the laws of your state.

Before bringing a claim, please write to us at info@cestachef.es so we can try to resolve it informally. Apple and Google also have their own terms for purchases made in their stores.

12. Who provides the service, and contact

CestaChef is provided by Alex Morata. More details in the legal notice.
