Terms of Use
Last Updated: March 2026
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and NoThinkList (“NoThinkList,” “we,” “us,” “our”) governing your access to and use of the NoThinkList mobile application (“App”) and the website at nothinklist.com (together, the “Service”). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
IMPORTANT: These Terms are between you and NoThinkList only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”) or Google LLC (“Google”). NoThinkList, not Apple or Google, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the European Economic Area) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
2. License and Restrictions
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices that you own or control, as permitted by the applicable platform’s terms of service (the “Usage Rules”), including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (for iOS) and, when available, the Google Play Terms of Service (for Android).
You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works of the App or any part of it.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law.
- Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in the App.
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms or the Usage Rules.
- Make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices simultaneously, except as permitted by the Usage Rules.
- Transfer the App to another person or device without removing it from the original device first.
3. Accounts and Subscriptions
Account. Some features require an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.
Account Deletion. You may delete your account at any time by going to Settings > Account > Delete Account within the App. Upon deletion, we will delete your account data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an active subscription; you must cancel your subscription separately through your platform’s subscription settings (see below).
Subscription Plans and Pricing. NoThinkList offers the following subscription plan(s):
- NoThinkList Premium: $3.99 per month, billed automatically at the start of each billing period.
- NoThinkList Lifetime: $89.99 one-time payment, billed once with no renewal.
A description of the features included in each plan is available on the subscription screen within the App and at nothinklist.com/pricing.
Auto-Renewal. All subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You will be charged the then-current subscription price at each renewal. The platform provider (Apple or Google) will notify you before any price increase takes effect.
Free Trials. If we offer a free trial, the trial duration and the subscription price that will apply after conversion will be disclosed before you enroll. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription and you will be charged the disclosed price. You may cancel during the trial at no cost.
Payment Processing. Subscriptions are purchased and processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, depending on your device. The applicable platform’s payment terms, refund policies, and billing practices govern your purchase. NoThinkList does not directly process your payment information.
How to Cancel.
- iOS (Apple): Open iPhone Settings > tap your name > Subscriptions > NoThinkList > Cancel Subscription.
- Android (Google Play, when available): Open the Google Play app > tap your profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > NoThinkList > Cancel subscription.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You will continue to have access to paid features until that period expires. No partial refunds are provided for unused portions of a billing period unless required by applicable law.
4. Your Content
You may add grocery items, recipes, notes, and other content to the App (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content.
By using the Service, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process, store, display, and transmit your User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service (for example, to sync your lists, parse recipes, or diagnose bugs). This license terminates when you delete your User Content or your account.
You represent and warrant that your User Content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of any third party, and does not violate any applicable law. You are solely responsible for your User Content.
5. AI-Powered Features
The Service uses third-party artificial intelligence services, including Google Gemini AI, to provide features such as recipe analysis and ingredient parsing. When you use these features, relevant portions of your content (such as recipe text or ingredient data) are transmitted to the third-party AI provider for processing. AI-generated content is produced by artificial intelligence, not by a human. The AI may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or fabricated information. NoThinkList does not review, verify, or endorse any AI-generated output before it is displayed to you.
Consent. By using AI-powered features within the App, you consent to the transmission of relevant content to third-party AI services for processing. We intend to implement an in-app consent prompt prior to the first transmission of your content to a third-party AI service. Until that prompt is implemented, your use of AI-powered features constitutes your consent to this processing. You may avoid this transmission entirely by not using AI-powered features. Declining to use AI-powered features does not affect your access to other features of the Service.
The AI provider’s processing of your data is governed by its own privacy policy (see Section 4.2 of our Privacy Policy). We require that any third-party AI provider with whom we share your data provide protection of your data equivalent to what we provide.
AI Accuracy. AI-generated content, including recipe analysis, ingredient parsing, and voice transcription, may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. AI-generated content may omit allergens, invent ingredients, or misclassify dietary categories. NoThinkList does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any AI-generated output. You should independently verify any AI-generated content before relying on it.
Food Safety and Allergen Disclaimer. The Service, including any AI-powered recipe analysis or ingredient parsing, is provided for informational and convenience purposes only. NoThinkList does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or safety of any recipe, ingredient list, nutritional information, or dietary classification generated or displayed by the Service. NoThinkList does not guarantee detection of all allergens, cross-contamination risks, or interactions between ingredients. The Service has not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
You are solely responsible for verifying all ingredients, allergens, and nutritional information before preparing or consuming any food. You are solely responsible for reading physical product labels and consulting qualified medical professionals regarding food allergies, intolerances, and dietary restrictions. NoThinkList is not a substitute for reading product labels, consulting medical professionals, or exercising your own judgment regarding food safety, allergies, intolerances, or dietary restrictions.
You assume all risk associated with your reliance on recipe or ingredient information provided through the Service.
6. Recipes and List Sharing
Recipes you import, photograph, or create are private to your account. NoThinkList does not have a recipe-sharing feature.
You may share grocery lists with other users via share codes. Sharing a grocery list does not share the underlying recipes. List sharing is private and limited to the people you explicitly invite.
Content Standards for Shared Lists. When sharing lists, you agree not to include content that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, threatening, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable. NoThinkList reserves the right to remove shared content that violates these standards.
Reporting and Blocking. If you encounter objectionable content or behavior from another user through a shared list, you may report the issue via the in-app reporting feature or by emailing support@nothinklist.com. You may also block a user from your shared lists through the App’s sharing settings. We will review reports and take appropriate action, which may include removing content and suspending the offending user’s access.
No Liability for User Interactions. NoThinkList is not responsible for any content shared between users through the list-sharing feature, or for any disputes, harm, or losses arising from interactions between users.
7. Intellectual Property
The Service and all content, features, and functionality (excluding User Content) are owned by NoThinkList and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Service beyond the limited license in Section 2.
You and NoThinkList acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, NoThinkList, not Apple or Google, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
8. Copyright Infringement (DMCA)
We respect intellectual property rights and will respond to valid DMCA takedown notices. We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
To report infringement: Email support@nothinklist.com with the subject line “DMCA Takedown Notice.” Your notice must include: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work; (c) identification and location of the infringing material; (d) your contact information; (e) a good-faith belief statement that the use is unauthorized; and (f) a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Counter-notification: If you believe your content was removed in error, email the same address with the subject “DMCA Counter-Notification,” including your signature, identification of the removed material, a good-faith belief statement under penalty of perjury, and consent to federal court jurisdiction.
9. Service Availability and Changes
We may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We aim to keep the Service fast and reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Features labeled “beta” or “early access” may change more frequently.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTHINKLIST DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTHINKLIST AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE LESSER OF: (A) THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM; OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00).
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF NOTHINKLIST HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
You acknowledge that the fees paid by you reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this agreement and that NoThinkList would not enter into this agreement without these limitations on liability.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NoThinkList and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms; (b) your User Content; (c) your infringement of any third-party rights; (d) your violation of applicable law; or (e) your reliance on any content, data, recipe information, AI-generated output, or other information provided through the Service.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Opt-Out Right. You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of this Section 13 by emailing support@nothinklist.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name and email address associated with your account. If you opt out, you and NoThinkList agree that any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.
Informal Resolution First. Before filing any formal claim, you agree to contact us at support@nothinklist.com with a written description of the dispute. We will attempt to resolve it in good faith within 30 days.
Binding Arbitration. If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if eligible.
Delegation. Any dispute regarding the validity, enforceability, or scope of this arbitration agreement (including the Class Action Waiver, Independent Class Action Waiver, and Mass Arbitration provisions) shall be resolved exclusively by the arbitrator, not a court, except as required by applicable law.
Class Action Waiver. YOU AND NOTHINKLIST AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If a court or arbitrator finds this waiver unenforceable, the arbitration agreement shall not apply to that claim.
Independent Class Action Waiver. Regardless of whether the arbitration provisions of this Section 13 are enforceable, you and NoThinkList each waive the right to participate in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. This waiver is independent of and severable from the arbitration agreement.
Mass Arbitration. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed against NoThinkList within a 90-day period, all such demands shall be grouped into batches of no more than 50 claims. One batch shall be selected for initial resolution. The parties shall participate in a single mediation session before a retired judge following the resolution of the initial batch. If mediation does not resolve the remaining claims, subsequent batches shall proceed sequentially. All applicable statutes of limitations and filing deadlines are tolled for claims not yet in an active batch. Any claimant may elect to opt out of the batching process and proceed individually in small claims court (if eligible) or in court.
Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent imminent harm or protect intellectual property rights, pending resolution of the dispute.
14. No Guarantees on Outcomes
NoThinkList is designed to help you organize groceries and reduce forgotten items, duplicates, and extra store trips. We cannot guarantee specific outcomes, savings, or time reductions. Any estimates or examples shown in the App are for illustration purposes only and are not guarantees.
Assumption of Risk and Release. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Service, including any AI-generated content, recipe data, or ingredient information, is at your sole risk. You assume full responsibility for any decisions or actions you take based on information provided through the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you expressly waive and release NoThinkList and its owners, officers, employees, and agents from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including bodily injury, allergic reaction, illness, or death) arising from or related to your use of or reliance on the Service, including any AI-generated content, recipe data, ingredient information, or dietary classification.
No Professional Advice. The Service does not provide medical, nutritional, dietetic, or other professional advice. Nothing in the Service should be construed as a recommendation regarding your health, diet, or nutrition. Consult a qualified professional before making dietary decisions based on information from the Service.
15. Third-Party Services
The Service may link to or integrate with third-party websites and services (such as analytics, recipe APIs, or AI services). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of those third parties. Their own terms and privacy policies apply. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App.
16. Export Compliance
You may not use or otherwise export or re-export the App except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the App was obtained. In particular, the App may not be exported or re-exported: (a) into any U.S.-embargoed country; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s Specially Designated Nationals List, the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List, or Entity List.
By using the App, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You agree that you will not use the App for any purposes prohibited by United States law.
