Credits

Credits, referred to as "Dishes" within the Ready Chef application, are utilized for creating recipes, with each recipe generation consuming one Dish.

Non-Refundability and Non-Transferability of Credits

All credits acquired on Ready Chef, whether purchased or awarded as complimentary (free), are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable. This policy applies to all forms of credits issued, including but not limited to, those bought directly, earned through promotional activities, or provided as part of any incentive scheme. This policy stipulates that credits, under no circumstances, can be refunded, exchanged for cash, or credited back once they are issued to a user's account. Furthermore, credits cannot be transferred between accounts within the Ready Chef platform or sold to third parties. Credits are intended for the personal use of the account holder who acquired them, either through purchase or as part of a promotional or incentive scheme, and are to be used exclusively within the Ready Chef ecosystem. Users are advised to deliberate their requirements prior to obtaining or utilizing credits, keeping in mind the binding nature of these terms regarding their use, transferability, and refundability.

Validity Period for Purchased Credits

Purchased credits must be redeemed within a 24-month period from their acquisition date. Post this duration, any remaining credits will become invalid and subsequently removed from the user's account. It is the responsibility of the user to keep track of their credit balance and consumption to maximize the benefits of their purchases. It is important to note that credits not used within the allotted 24-month period will not be eligible for refund or extension under any circumstances.

Validity Period for Complimentary Credits

Complimentary credits, issued as part of promotions, rewards, or any other incentive programs by Ready Chef, are subject to a validity period of 6 months from the date of issuance. These credits must be utilized within this specified timeframe to redeem services or products offered by Ready Chef. Upon expiration of the 6-month period, any unused complimentary credits will automatically expire and be forfeited, with no value and cannot be reclaimed or extended. Users are encouraged to monitor their credit balance and ensure timely usage of their complimentary credits to fully benefit from our incentive programs.

These communications are designed to enhance your Ready Chef experience by providing valuable information, special offers, and insights related to our services.

You retain the right to opt-out of receiving these promotional emails at any time. Each email we send will include an "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom, allowing you to remove yourself from our mailing list instantly and cease receiving future promotional communications. Please note that even after opting out of promotional emails, you may still receive transactional or account-related communications necessary for the operation of your Ready Chef account.
