Hey, welcome to NineCalories! We’re your go-to spot for nutrition, fitness, and healthy living tips, all wrapped up in our motto: Eat Well, Live Healthy, & Stay Fit. These Terms of Use (we’ll just call them “Terms”) are the rules for using our website, ninecalories.com. Think of them as a friendly handshake—by using our site, you agree to play by these rules and our Privacy Policy. If they’re not your cup of tea, no hard feelings—just don’t use the site.
Effective Date: April 8, 2025 | Last Updated: April 25, 2025
How You Can Use Our Site
Our site is here to help you learn about wellness, from meal prep ideas to workout plans. You can use it for personal, non-commercial stuff—like finding a healthy recipe or reading fitness tips. Just keep it legal and kind. Here’s what we mean:
Please Don’t:
- Break any local, national, or international laws.
- Send spam or unwanted ads.
- Spread viruses or harmful code.
- Mess with our site, servers, or networks.
- Snoop on other people’s info without permission.
- Pretend to be someone you’re not.
Example: Sarah loves our recipes and shares them with friends—that’s awesome! But posting our content on her blog without permission? Not cool.
If you break these rules, we might have to pause or stop your access to the site. Let’s keep it friendly for everyone!
Our Content Belongs to Us
Everything you see on NineCalories—articles, logos, photos, designs—is ours or belongs to our creators. It’s protected by copyright and trademark laws, which means it’s like our personal recipe book. Here’s how you can use it:
- You Can: Read, view, or print a copy for your own personal use (like saving a workout plan).
- You Can’t: Copy, share, change, sell, or use our stuff for your own projects without asking us first.
Want to share our content? Just ask us at support@ninecalories.com. Using our name or logo without permission could get you in legal hot water, so let’s avoid that!
What You Share with Us
We love hearing from you! If you send us comments, questions, or ideas (we call this “User Content”), you’re giving us permission to use it—like featuring your recipe tip in a blog post. This permission is free, forever, and worldwide, but don’t worry, we’ll always give you credit where it’s due.
Just make sure your content is:
- Not mean, offensive, or illegal.
- Truthful and not misleading.
- Yours to share (don’t send someone else’s stuff).
Example: Mike sent us a great smoothie recipe, and we shared it with our community. But if someone posts rude comments, we’ll take them down to keep things positive.
We can remove or edit anything you share if we need to, but we’ll do it fairly.

Links to Other Websites
Our site might link to cool tools, recipes, or products on other websites. These aren’t ours, so we’re not responsible for what they say or do. Clicking a link is like stepping off our path—you’re on your own, so check their rules before diving in.
Example: We might link to a yoga mat we love, but if their website has issues, that’s on them, not us.
Affiliate Links (How We Keep the Lights On)
Some links on our site are affiliate links, which means we might earn a small commission if you buy something after clicking—no extra cost to you. This helps us keep our content free and awesome.
We only recommend stuff we truly believe in, like kitchen gadgets or fitness gear that fit our mission. We’ll always let you know when a link is an affiliate one, per FTC rules.
Example: If we suggest a blender and you buy it through our link, we might get a few bucks to keep sharing recipes!
No Promises (We’re Doing Our Best)
We work hard to make our site helpful, but it’s provided “as-is.” That means we can’t promise:
- The site will always work perfectly or be available.
- Every tip or article is 100% accurate or up-to-date.
- Our site is free from viruses (though we do our best to keep it clean).
You use the site at your own risk, but we’re here to make it as great as possible!
Health Info Is for Learning, Not Doctoring
Our tips on nutrition, fitness, and wellness are meant to inspire and inform, not replace a doctor or dietitian. Before you start a new diet, workout, or health plan, talk to a pro.
Example: Our low-carb recipe might sound perfect, but if you have diabetes, check with your doctor first.
We’re not responsible if you rely on our info for medical choices. Your health is personal, so get expert advice!
Our Responsibility Has Limits
We love helping you, but we’re not liable for issues like:
- Mistakes in our content.
- Site downtime or glitches.
- Problems from third-party links.
- Loss of data or money from using our site.
Basically, you’re in charge of how you use the site, and we’re not on the hook for unexpected problems.
Covering Our Back (Legally Speaking)
If you use our site in a way that causes trouble—like breaking these Terms or posting harmful content—you agree to cover any costs or legal issues we face. This includes claims, damages, or lawyer fees.
Example: If you share someone else’s copyrighted recipe and they sue, you’d handle the fallout, not us.
We Might Update These Terms
Our Terms might change as we grow. If we update them, we’ll post the new version here with a fresh date. Keep using the site, and you’re agreeing to the new rules. Check back now and then to stay in the loop!
We Can Pause Your Access
If you break these Terms or do something that harms the site, we might limit or stop your access without warning. We don’t want to, but we’ve got to keep things safe and fair.
Which Laws Apply
These Terms follow the laws of the United States and the State of California. If there’s a dispute, it’ll be handled in California courts. This keeps things clear for everyone.
