This is a translation. In case of discrepancies, the German version prevails.
Last updated: November 2026
1. Provider
The app "Kochkumpel" is provided by Volkenandt Systems, owner Christian Volkenandt (address see legal notice).
2. Service
Kochkumpel is a free app for managing your own recipes, planning meals and sharing shopping lists. There is no entitlement to a particular availability of the online features (groups, feedback). Features may be changed or discontinued. Recipes stored locally are not affected; back them up regularly via Settings → Backup & transfer.
3. Your content and third-party content
- You are responsible for content you create or share in groups.
- Recipe import: Texts and especially photos from other websites are usually protected by copyright. The import feature is intended exclusively for private use (Section 53 of the German Copyright Act). Share imported content only within a close private circle and never publicly. The source remains linked in the recipe.
- Content that infringes rights or the law (e.g. insulting or infringing content) must not be shared.
- Groups are private and can only be joined with an invitation code. The creator of a group can remove members.
4. No abuse
In particular, automated access to the app's servers, circumventing security mechanisms and mass submission of feedback reports are prohibited.
5. Health and nutrition information
Calorie information consists of automatically estimated guide values and does not replace dietary or medical advice. Pay attention to allergens and intolerances yourself.
6. Liability
The app is provided free of charge. We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the German Product Liability Act. Otherwise, liability is limited to intent and gross negligence to the extent permitted by law (Sections 521, 599 German Civil Code, applied analogously).
7. Privacy
The privacy policy applies: kochkumpel.volketec.de/en/privacy.html.
8. Final provisions
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods; mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.
