These Kids Recipe Submission Terms (“Kids Terms”) govern the submission of recipes, photos, videos, comments, or other content (“Submissions”) created by or featuring children in connection with Baketivity’s recipe challenges, contests, or community features (collectively, the “Kids Features”).

These Kids Terms supplement, and do not replace, Baketivity’s general Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, which remain fully applicable.

1. Eligibility and Parental Consent

The Kids Features are intended solely for children under the age of 18 who are participating with the knowledge, supervision, and consent of a parent or legal guardian (“Parent”).

By permitting a child to submit content through the Kids Features, the Parent represents and warrants that:

• The Parent is the child’s legal parent or guardian;
• The Parent has reviewed and agrees to these Kids Terms on behalf of the child;
• The Parent consents to the child’s participation and to Baketivity’s use of the child’s
  Submissions as described below.
  

Baketivity does not knowingly accept Submissions from children without parental consent.

2. Adult Supervision and Safety

Cooking and baking activities involve inherent risks, including but not limited to exposure to heat, sharp objects, allergens, and kitchen equipment.

By allowing a child to participate in the Kids Features, the Parent acknowledges and agrees that:

• All cooking or baking activities must be supervised by a responsible adult;
• Baketivity does not provide individualized safety instructions;\
• The Parent is solely responsible for determining whether a recipe or activity is
  appropriate for the child.
  

3. Waiver and Release (Parent on Behalf of Child)

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Parent, on behalf of themselves and the child, releases and holds harmless Baketivity, its officers, employees, affiliates, and partners from any claims, injuries, losses, or damages arising out of or related to:

• Participation in cooking or baking activities;
• Preparation or execution of submitted recipes;
• Use or reliance on any recipe, instruction, or content submitted or displayed through the Kids Features
  

except to the extent caused by Baketivity’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

All Submissions must:

• Be original or submitted with proper permission;
• Be appropriate for children and families;
• Not include offensive, dangerous, misleading, or unlawful material;
• Not include personal contact information (addresses, phone numbers, emails) of the child or others.
  

Baketivity reserves the right (but not the obligation) to review, edit, remove, or decline to display any Submission for any reason.

5. Grant of Rights to Baketivity

By submitting content through the Kids Features, the Parent grants Baketivity a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to:

  Submission;
• Use the child’s first name, age range, recipe title, and related content in connection with the Kids Features and Baketivity’s products, services, and marketing.
