1. Agreement and eligibility
These Terms of Service form an agreement between a visitor and Clean Plate Kitchen concerning use of cleanplatekitchen.info. By accessing the website, using an interactive feature or submitting a form, the visitor agrees to follow these terms and the policies linked from them. If the visitor does not agree, they should stop using the website and avoid submitting information. A person submitting an enquiry must provide accurate contact details they are authorised to use. Where a visitor requires the permission of a parent, guardian or organisation to access a course or submit information, obtaining that permission is the visitor’s responsibility.
2. Website purpose and availability
Clean Plate Kitchen provides recipes, ingredient guides, kitchen skills, meal preparation ideas, Journal articles and information about The Homegrown Kitchen Course. The website is an information and enquiry service. It does not include a shopping cart, direct online payment or an automatic promise of course access. We may update, reorganise, suspend or remove a feature when needed for maintenance, security, accuracy or editorial development. We aim for reliable access but do not promise that every page or interactive function will be available without interruption on every device or network.
3. Acceptable and prohibited use
Visitors may read the website, print a reasonable copy for personal kitchen reference, use filters and accordions, and submit genuine questions or course-interest information. Visitors must not attempt to bypass security controls, interfere with hosting, introduce harmful code, overload forms, scrape the site at a disruptive rate, impersonate another person, submit unlawful content or use contact details for unsolicited bulk messages. Automated access must respect published robots instructions and reasonable technical limits. We may restrict a request, block abusive traffic or preserve technical records when reasonably necessary to protect visitors, content and website operation.
4. Ownership and permitted content use
The Clean Plate Kitchen name, original writing, arrangement, visual presentation and locally stored images are protected by applicable intellectual property rules. Visitors receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the website for personal, non-commercial culinary learning. A visitor may cook from a recipe and keep personal notes. They may not republish substantial articles, resell course materials, remove attribution from shared excerpts, copy the visual design as a competing service or use website content to suggest an endorsement that has not been given. Short references should identify Clean Plate Kitchen and link to the relevant physical PHP page.
4.1 Feedback
If a visitor voluntarily sends feedback about navigation, recipes or lesson topics, Clean Plate Kitchen may use the general idea to improve the service without publishing the visitor’s personal contact details. The visitor should not submit an idea that they are not entitled to share or that is subject to another party’s confidential obligation.
5. Course information and registration enquiries
The course page describes the intended module structure, flexible format and included learning materials. Course details can change as lessons are reviewed or schedules are organised. Submitting the registration form records an expression of interest only. It does not guarantee acceptance, a particular start date, continuous availability, a certificate, a specific skill outcome or access on the exact schedule selected. Clean Plate Kitchen may request clarification before giving further information. Any later arrangement with additional terms will be presented separately so the participant can review it before making a commitment.
6. Visitor submissions and communication
A message must be relevant, accurate to the visitor’s knowledge and respectful of other people’s rights. Visitors should not place passwords, financial account details, confidential third-party records or unlawful material in an open text field. We may decline to respond to spam, repeated abusive messages or requests outside the website’s culinary and educational scope. A confirmation shown after submission means that the website accepted the request for review; it does not prove email delivery, guarantee a response time outside published business hours or confirm the requested course arrangement.
7. External services and links
The website can request resources from selected providers for typography, styling, hosting, security or performance. It may also link to another site when that resource is useful. Clean Plate Kitchen does not control every external service and is not responsible for changes to its content, availability, privacy practices or terms. A link is supplied for convenience and does not automatically indicate sponsorship or endorsement. Visitors should evaluate the destination and its rules before relying on information or supplying details. Use of the visitor’s internet connection and device remains subject to their own provider arrangements.
8. Culinary information and practical disclaimer
Website materials are provided for general informational and culinary education purposes only and do not constitute individual recommendations. Ingredient size, ripeness, storage, equipment, heat source, local conditions and technique can change timing and results. Visitors should inspect ingredients, follow suitable food-handling practices, consider allergies and dietary requirements relevant to their household, and use safe equipment according to manufacturer instructions. No recipe, guide, article, learner profile or course description is a guarantee of a particular result. If a situation requires specialist advice, the visitor should consult an appropriately qualified source outside this general culinary website.
9. Disclaimers and limitation of responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable rules, the website and its content are provided on an “as available” basis. Clean Plate Kitchen aims to publish clear, original material but does not warrant that every item will be error-free, continuously available or suitable for every kitchen. We are not responsible for a loss caused by prohibited use, an unsupported device, an external service outside our control or a visitor’s failure to consider ingredient condition and equipment safety. Nothing in these terms excludes responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded. Any responsibility that remains will be assessed according to the circumstances and applicable rules.
10. Changes, governing framework and dispute resolution
We may revise these terms when the website, course enquiry process or applicable requirements change. The effective date identifies the current published version, and continued use after a revision means the visitor accepts the updated terms for future activity. The parties should first try to resolve a concern through clear written communication. Send a detailed notice to [email protected] or to Clean Plate Kitchen, 42 Sampaguita Lane, Makati City 1200, Philippines. These terms are interpreted under the applicable laws of the Philippines, without preventing a visitor from relying on mandatory protections that apply to them. If informal resolution fails, a dispute may be brought before a competent authority or court with jurisdiction.
11. Severability, waiver and complete terms
If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the extent necessary, while the remaining provisions continue. A delay in enforcing a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, form the complete website-use framework for the matters they address. Questions may be sent by email to [email protected] or discussed by telephone at +63 2 8555 0148 during published business hours.
