Terms of Use

By using Waatokok, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

You need an account to submit recipes or comment. You can rate recipes without an account; see the Privacy Policy for how that works. You're responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for anything that happens under your account. Please provide accurate information when you register.

When you submit a recipe, photo, comment, rating, or other content, you're telling us that you have the right to share it. Unless a separate agreement says otherwise, you keep the rights you have in what you create, and you give Waatokok permission to display, translate, and make reasonable editorial changes for clarity, accuracy, formatting, and the operation of the service.

Separately, you and Waatokok may enter into a contributor arrangement under which Waatokok takes over managing and maintaining a particular recipe on the platform. If that happens, Waatokok may control future edits, updates, or removal of that recipe within Waatokok, while the original contributor remains publicly credited as its author. Any additional rights or terms are governed by that separate arrangement.

You're responsible for making sure the content you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge, appropriate, and doesn't violate these Terms or anyone else's rights. Waatokok isn't responsible for content submitted by users.

Submit recipes, photos, and other content that you created yourself or that you have permission to share. Don't upload a photo you don't own, or copy someone else's recipe and post it as your own.

Recipes submitted by the community are reviewed before they appear publicly; recipes submitted or edited directly by Waatokok's moderator team are treated as already reviewed. We may reject, edit, remove, or decline to publish any content — including comments — that doesn't meet our standards, is inaccurate, offensive, spam, or otherwise inappropriate. We may also suspend or remove accounts that violate these Terms. See our Recipe Standards page for more on how recipes are reviewed.

Our moderators may also edit a recipe they did not submit — to correct errors, improve clarity, or keep it consistent with these standards. Editing a recipe never changes who is publicly credited as its author.

Don't use Waatokok to post offensive, abusive, fraudulent, or illegal content; to impersonate someone else; to spam or promote unrelated products or services; or to attempt to disrupt or abuse the site, such as scraping, hacking, or automated abuse.

Recipes on Waatokok come from our team and our community and are shared for informational and inspirational purposes. Community recipes are reviewed by a moderator before they're published — "reviewed" means checked against our Recipe Standards, not tested or safety-verified. We don't independently verify that every recipe is accurate, safe, or suitable for your specific dietary needs, allergies, or health conditions.

Always use your own judgment: check ingredients for anything you're allergic to or need to avoid, follow safe food-handling practices, and consult a medical professional if you have specific dietary concerns.

Koki and WaatoSense: matches, missing-ingredient notes and suggested swaps are a starting point based on the recipe and ingredient information we've reviewed — not professional, dietary or medical advice.

WaatoBrain: a WaatoBrain version is built from a reviewed recipe using substitutions reviewed by people, but a substitution can still change taste, texture, cooking time or allergens. Review the adapted ingredients and steps before you cook. The original recipe is never changed.

WaatoPrice: estimates are approximate ingredient costs based on public reference prices (PROFECO's Quién es Quién en los Precios program, for Guadalajara). They aren't quotes or live store prices, and what you pay may differ.

WaatoSafe: shows selected official food-safety notices, summarized by our team and always linked to the authority's original notice, which prevails over our summary, as well as official data read automatically: dengue figures from the Dirección General de Epidemiología, earthquakes recorded by the USGS and weather warnings from the SMN. The earthquakes we show are events that already happened, not earthquake alerts, and a rain warning is a forecast that doesn't confirm flooding. WaatoSafe isn't exhaustive or real-time — authorities publish information we may not show — it doesn't cover every hazard or area, it isn't medical advice, and what you see depends on your approximate or chosen location. If you have or consumed an affected product, follow the authority's instructions and seek medical care if needed.

Waatokok is provided "as is." We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time, and we don't guarantee the site will always be available or error-free.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Waatokok and the people who operate it aren't liable for any damages, losses, or issues arising from your use of the site or your reliance on any content posted here, including recipes shared by other users.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continuing to use Waatokok after a change means you accept the updated Terms. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
