These Terms of Service are intended to protect both you and Opheliaskitchen by setting clear expectations regarding acceptable use, intellectual property, informational limitations, and liability.

You are solely responsible for using safe food handling and kitchen practices, including proper sanitation, storage, refrigeration, heating, knife handling, appliance use, and supervision.
