They apply to the Knift app (Android and web) and to the service behind it.
Knift helps you plan your shopping: gather dishes, tick off what you already have, produce a shopping list. It works current supermarket offers into that.
The free part runs without an account and without a connection: your recipes, your shopping list and your prices sit on your device. The recipe suggestions from offers (“Cook for less”) are the paid part, see section 4.
You need an account for three things: the paid part (section 4), syncing between your own devices, and sharing offers, prices and your own recipes with others. Signing in uses a Google account; of that we store only an identifier, no name and no email address (Privacy policy).
You can delete your account yourself at any time — in the app or via this page. Without an account the app carries on working.
Free are recipes, the shopping list, your own prices and browsing the offers. The paid part is the recipe suggestions from offers and prices (“Cook for less”), syncing between your devices and the community data.
The trial: you can try the paid part free for 14 days, once per account, and only as long as no subscription has ever been bought through that account — not even an expired one or one not yet paid for. This also holds after deleting your account: if you sign in again afterwards with the same Google account, a new trial starts at the earliest 12 months after the previous one began and at the earliest 12 months after your first purchase — the later of the two days applies (privacy policy, „trial check value"). It starts when you start it in the app. Afterwards the paid part is closed without a subscription — the trial does not turn into a subscription by itself, and nothing is charged.
The subscription is taken out in the Android app via Google Play, monthly or yearly (currently €1.23 a month, €12.34 a year, each including VAT; the applicable price is shown in the Google Play dialog before you buy). It renews automatically for the chosen period until you cancel. Payment goes through the payment method stored with Google; we receive neither your name nor payment details from Google, only a proof of purchase. If the price rises, Google Play asks for your consent before it applies to you.
Cancelling is possible at any time at Google Play (Play Store → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions) or via “Manage subscription” in the app. The paid part stays open until the end of the paid period and then closes; there is no notice period. Refunds go through Google Play; your statutory right of withdrawal is unaffected.
We may also unlock accounts without a subscription — for family, testers or as a courtesy. There is no entitlement to this.
This is the most important paragraph on this page. The offers come from publicly accessible sources of the chains, from leaflets that users have scanned, and from what others have contributed.
They can be wrong, out of date, or not valid in your branch. The app tells you where every price comes from and marks what nobody has confirmed yet — but we cannot vouch for a shop holding a price. What counts is always the label on the shelf.
The same goes for recipes and ingredient details: check for yourself what you buy and eat, particularly with intolerances and allergies.
If you contribute an offer, a shelf price or an ingredient match, you give us the right to show that detail in the service and pass it on to others. That is the point of it — on its own it helps nobody.
What you contribute only counts as verified once at least two independent accounts have confirmed it — and the more accounts supply a chain in an area, the more confirmations are needed; regular prices do not go out unconfirmed at all. If you mistype, you can report it and correct it.
Only contribute what you have seen yourself. Deliberately wrong prices are not a small thing: they cost other people money and lead to a block.
You can import recipes from other websites. They still belong to whoever wrote them — you may use them yourself, but not distribute them through Knift.
That is why other people’s recipe text does not leave your device. When syncing, only the address and a few of your own details travel; your second device fetches the text from the source itself. That is not a setting, it is how it is built.
You can publish a recipe you wrote yourself for everyone. Only your own: an imported recipe cannot be published, and when sending you confirm that the text is yours. Anyone who passes off other people’s text as their own is liable for that themselves.
By publishing you grant Knift a simple licence to show the recipe in the service and pass it on to other users. It appears under the display name you give at that point, or without a name as “from the community” — never with your Google account.
A recipe only becomes visible once the operator has released it; there is no entitlement to that, and a rejection is shown to you with a reason. You can remove a published recipe at any time; it also goes when your account goes. Recipes that other users report are taken out of the list.
For serious or repeated breaches we may block or delete an account. Your data on your device is untouched by that.
We run Knift as well as we can, but promise no availability. The server may be off for maintenance, and the chains may change their websites so that offers are missing for a while.
The app stays usable meanwhile — with the data last fetched and a note that it is old. That is deliberate: a shopping list that will not open without a server is worthless in the shop.
For intent and gross negligence we are liable under the statutory rules, likewise for injury to life, body or health. Otherwise we are liable only for breach of essential obligations, and limited to the foreseeable damage typical of this kind of agreement.
We are not liable for the correctness of prices and offers — see section 5.
You can stop at any time: delete the account, uninstall the app, done. You cancel a running subscription with Google Play (section 4). If you delete your account, we cancel a running subscription for you with Google Play at the same time — nothing more is charged after that. If cancelling fails, we tell you when deleting, and you cancel it there yourself. Only uninstalling the app does not end the subscription.
If we change them, we say so in the app before the new version applies. Anyone who disagrees deletes their account — the app without an account is unaffected.
Dutch law applies. If you are a consumer, the mandatory protective provisions of your country of residence remain untouched — so you can also bring proceedings there.
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution; we are not obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration body and do not take part.
