Terms of Use for Triplato
This is a translation. If there are any discrepancies, the German version prevails.
Last updated: 30 October 2026
1. Scope
(1) These terms apply to the use of the Triplato app. The provider is Florian Niemeier, Langer Weg 15/1, 73650 Winterbach ("I", "me").
(2) You obtain the app via Apple's App Store. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to download, purchase and licence. These terms supplement it. Apple is not a party to these terms.
2. Services
(1) Triplato combines a recipe collection, a meal plan and a shopping list and can suggest the meal plan according to your rules with the help of an AI service.
(2) Trial and purchase: After downloading, you can test all features free of charge for 14 days. After that, a one-time in-app purchase permanently unlocks the full version; via Apple's Family Sharing, it applies to your Apple family. Without a purchase, the features for household members remain free to use (viewing the plan and recipes, cooking mode, shopping list, wishes). Your data is retained and can be exported in any case.
(3) The app requires a device with the stated iOS version. You need iCloud to sync between devices and to share within the household.
3. AI features and costs
(1) The AI features require your own access with an AI provider (e.g. OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral AI). You conclude this contract with the provider yourself; the provider's terms apply, including any minimum age.
(2) The costs of using AI are not included in the purchase price. They are incurred with your AI provider and billed by it. The app shows the estimated costs per operation and per month; only the provider's billing is authoritative. A subscription to a chat service (e.g. Claude Pro) generally does not include access for other apps. I recommend setting a spending limit with the provider.
(3) In the household, all managers can use the configured AI access and thereby incur costs on it. Members cannot trigger AI features.
(4) I have no influence on the availability, prices, models or terms of the AI providers. If a provider fails or changes its services, recipes, shopping list and manual planning continue to work.
4. AI results
(1) AI suggestions (meal plans, recipe ideas, draft recipes, assignments, calorie estimates) are generated automatically and may be incorrect, incomplete or unsuitable. The app labels them and shows them as drafts before they are accepted.
(2) Please check AI results before using them, in particular quantities, cooking times and ingredients of AI recipes.
5. Intended purpose, allergies and nutrition
(1) Triplato is an everyday aid for meal planning. The app is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, nutritional advice or diet therapy.
(2) The checking of exclusions such as allergies or intolerances is based on the stored ingredients and their assignment to allergens. This information may be incorrect or incomplete, for example for imported recipes, branded products or traces. With active allergy rules, the app does not schedule recipes containing ingredients that are not clearly assigned. The app does not replace your own checking of ingredients and product labelling. For allergies and health questions, please consult a doctor or a qualified nutrition professional.
(3) Calorie information is an estimate.
6. Your content
(1) Your recipes, photos, plans and lists belong to you. I acquire no rights to them and no access to them.
(2) When importing recipes from web pages or other sources, the app saves a private copy with a reference to the source. You are responsible yourself for any use of third-party content beyond private use. The sharing feature only passes on third-party recipes as a link to the source.
7. Household
(1) Whoever creates a household provides it in their iCloud storage. Managers invite members, assign roles and remove members.
(2) If the person who created the household deletes their data or their iCloud account without handing over the household beforehand, the household is deleted for everyone. The app warns about this and offers a handover.
8. Updates and support period
(1) I provide the updates necessary to keep the app in conformity with the contract, including security updates, at least until 31 December 2031. Details can be found under "Support Period and Security".
(2) Updates are provided via the App Store. If you do not install an update that has been provided, this may affect the functionality or security of the app. In the event of serious security vulnerabilities, the app may require an update before it can continue to be used.
9. Warranty
The statutory rights in the event of defects apply.
10. Liability
(1) I am liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and to the extent of any guarantee given.
(2) In the event of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract at the time the contract was concluded. Essential contractual obligations are those whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose compliance you may regularly rely.
(3) Otherwise, liability for slight negligence is excluded.
(4) In the event of slight negligence, I am only liable for loss of data to the extent that would also have occurred if the backup offered in the app had been used.
(5) I am not liable for the services and costs of the AI providers; these are provided by the respective provider on its own responsibility (section 3).
11. Final provisions
(1) The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country of your habitual residence remain unaffected. If you are a consumer whose habitual residence is in Switzerland, Swiss law applies to the extent that Swiss law excludes a choice of law.
(2) Should any provision be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain valid.
(3) These terms are a translation of the German version. In the event of discrepancies, the German version shall prevail.
