Disclaimer
Recipes and information at this site are provided solely for visitors’ information and, while thought to be accurate, are provided strictly “as is” and without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.
The owner, administrators and contributors of RecipeNet will not be liable to you for any illness, inury, damages or losses of any kind, direct or indirect, arising out of your use of recipes, comments or information provided in posts/pages, provided by comments posted in the “Comments” sections, provided via social media sites in connection with this site, provided by e-mail sent to you or provided at any other site that can be accessed from this site even if informed of the possibility thereof.
The owner, administrators and contributors of RecipeNet are not liable for damages, losses or illness/injury of any kind to any persons who receive this site’s information from visitors via any other medium.
Views expressed by visitors in the “Comments” section do not necessarily reflect the views of the owner, administrators or contributors. They also do not necessarily reflect the overall theme of RecipeNet.
It is recommended that you consult with your doctor before using any recipes or information on this site.
A Special Note Regarding Ingredients
Administrators ask that you check ingredients lists of all products you buy to ensure they do not contain any ingredients you cannot eat or choose not to eat. RecipeNet administrators and contributors are not responsible for the brands you choose to buy. For example, if a recipe is labelled gluten-free and you buy a seasoning with hidden gluten, you will not hold the owner, administrators or contributors liable.
RecipeNet administrators and contributors also cannot guarantee that any brand displayed or mentioned on this site that claims, implies or appears to be free of any ingredient you cannot eat or choose not to eat is 100% free of that ingredient. We recommend that you use caution, due diligence and check the full ingredients list of all products before consumption for your health & safety (or “peace of mind” if the ingredient is avoided only by choice). If you have a severe food allergy, you may need to buy products that are manufactured in ways to avoid possible cross contamination, in a facility completely free of the allergenic ingredients. We ask that you check packages for statements to that effect. If you are not sure about a product, we recommend that you speak with your doctor.

2. Commenters agree that all comments posted in the “Comments” section become the property of the owner. All comments are moderated by the administrators and will be allowed at their discretion. If comments are starting to go off topic, an administrator will chime in to bring the discussion back on topic. Should this fail to resolve the issue, further off-topic comments will not be allowed. Comments may also be deleted at the discretion of the administrators.
3. Commenters may at any time request to have one of their comments removed. Requests need to be submitted via the contact form and a reason for the request must be indicated. Commenters agree that because Robin Russell owns this content, such requests will be granted at her discretion.

If you believe an administrator accidentally allowed a comment that is inappropriate you may report it by contacting us via the contact form.

This removal may be temporary or permanent pending investigation of the claim.
