Last updated: 19/03/2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Basket List ("we", "our", or "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our website and services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Basket List is a digital platform designed to help users organize recipes and create shopping lists. The Service allows you to save recipes, manage ingredients, and generate shopping lists to streamline your meal planning and grocery shopping experience.

3. Pricing and Account Tiers

Basket List offers different account tiers to meet the needs of our users. Each tier has specific features and limitations as outlined below.

Account Tiers and Recipe Limits

Beta Users: Users who signed up during our beta period receive a free account limited to 10 recipes maximum. Beta users can continue using the Service indefinitely with these limitations. To add more recipes, beta users must upgrade to a paid subscription (Monthly or Annual).
Trial Users: New users receive a free 14-day trial period with the ability to add 10 recipes maximum. When the 14-day trial period expires, access to the entire Service will be locked and you will be unable to use Basket List until you purchase a subscription (Monthly or Annual). You must upgrade to continue using the Service beyond the trial period.
Monthly Subscription: Monthly subscribers receive unlimited recipes for a period of one (1) month from the date of purchase. After one month, if the subscription is not renewed, access to the entire Service will be locked and you will be unable to use Basket List until you renew your subscription or purchase annual access. Your data will be preserved, but the application will not be accessible until payment is received.
Annual Subscription: Annual subscribers receive unlimited recipes for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. After one year, if the subscription is not renewed, access to the entire Service will be locked and you will be unable to use Basket List until you renew your subscription. Your data will be preserved, but the application will not be accessible until payment is received.
Lifetime Access: Lifetime purchasers who bought this plan before it was withdrawn retain unlimited recipes forever with no expiration. Lifetime access is no longer offered for new purchases.

Subscription Management: Monthly and annual subscriptions do not automatically renew. Basket List does not provide a separate notification system for renewals. Starting 7 days before expiration, a small in-app countdown alert is shown at the top of each route to warn you before access expires. Existing lifetime purchases never expire and require no renewal.

Pricing Changes: We reserve the right to modify our pricing structure and subscription plans at any time. Any changes to pricing will be communicated to existing users with reasonable advance notice. Existing subscriptions will be honored at the price paid at the time of purchase.

Fair Use and Account Monitoring: All accounts are subject to our fair use policy and active monitoring. We monitor account usage and activity to ensure optimal performance for all users. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the Service, use it in ways that negatively impact other users, or violate these Terms. Inactive accounts will be removed in accordance with our deletion policies outlined in Section 7.

4. User Responsibilities and Recipe Usage
