3. Use of the Service

3.1 Kitchen Passport provides registered users with a digital passport (“Passport”) which holds information about their kitchen (the “Service”).

3.2 There is no charge for individual users of our Service. We reserve the right however to change our pricing policy, and if we do so, will notify you either directly through your registered email address, or through notices published on the Website.

3.3 Users are responsible for providing accurate details of their kitchen and warrant to us and to all other users of the Service that the information provided is true, accurate and up-to-date.

3.4 It is a user’s responsibility to update details of their Passport as may be necessary.

We do not advise users or other interested parties to rely solely on the content of a Passport. Rather, users and interested parties should make their own enquiries and take appropriate advice in conjunction with the information provided by the Passport.

3.6 We provide users with online storage of their Passport as part of the Service offered. However, you accept that our storage of your Passport is not guaranteed and such storage may be subject to downtime and/or inaccessibility. You are therefore recommended to retain your own copy of any stored information or documents you may have provided to us.
