These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of SixtoCarreon.com, including its recipes, articles, photographs, videos, reviews, recommendations, books, downloads, newsletters, comments, contact forms, online services, and other content or features collectively referred to as the “Website.”

The Website is operated by Sixto Carreon, referred to in these Terms as “Sixto Carreon,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

By accessing or using the Website, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Website.

The Website may be changed, expanded, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

2. Eligibility and children

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically at children under 13 years old.

You must be legally capable of agreeing to these Terms under the laws of your country. If you are below the age of legal majority where you live, you may use the Website only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

Children must not submit personal information through comments, contact forms, newsletter forms, accounts, competitions, or other interactive features without the permission required by applicable law.

If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child contrary to applicable law, we may delete it and take other appropriate action.

3. Informational purposes only

Website content is provided for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.

Although reasonable care may be taken when developing and reviewing content, we do not guarantee that every recipe, article, measurement, cooking time, nutritional calculation, product description, price, restaurant detail, travel detail, or other item will always be complete, current, accurate, or suitable for every person, kitchen, location, appliance, or circumstance.

You are responsible for evaluating information before relying on it.

4. Recipe and cooking disclaimer

Cooking results can vary because of differences in:

• Ingredient quality and composition
• Ingredient substitutions
• Equipment and appliance performance
• Cooking temperatures
• Altitude and climate
• Storage and handling
• Portion sizes
• Individual skill and experience

You must use appropriate food-safety practices, inspect ingredients, follow manufacturer instructions, prevent cross-contamination, cook food to safe temperatures, and comply with applicable health and food-safety requirements.

Never consume food that appears spoiled, contaminated, improperly stored, undercooked, or otherwise unsafe.

5. Allergies, intolerances, and dietary requirements

Ingredient and allergen information is provided as general guidance only.

Recipes may contain or come into contact with allergens, including milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, gluten-containing cereals, soy, sesame, mustard, celery, lupin, sulphites, or other substances regulated as allergens in different countries.

Product formulations, manufacturing practices, labels, and cross-contamination risks can change. You must:

• Read current product labels
• Confirm ingredients directly with manufacturers where necessary
• Check shared equipment and preparation areas
• Consider cross-contact risks
• Seek professional medical advice when required

Do not rely solely on a Website label such as “gluten-free,” “dairy-free,” “nut-free,” “low-carb,” “vegan,” “vegetarian,” or similar wording when managing a diagnosed allergy, intolerance, coeliac disease, metabolic condition, or medical dietary requirement.

We are not responsible for allergic reactions, intolerances, illness, injury, or other consequences resulting from ingredients, substitutions, preparation methods, cross-contact, or reliance on dietary classifications.

6. Nutrition, health, and wellness information

Nutritional information, including calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fibre, sodium, and serving sizes, may be estimated using databases, software, product labels, or standard calculations.

Actual nutritional values may vary.

Website content does not constitute medical, dietary, nutritional, mental-health, or other professional healthcare advice. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a medical condition.

Consult a qualified physician, registered dietitian, nutrition professional, or other appropriate healthcare provider before making significant dietary changes, particularly if you have a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant, are breastfeeding, or require a medically prescribed diet.

7. Reviews and recommendations

Restaurant, hotel, travel, product, book, equipment, ingredient, and service reviews reflect the author’s honest opinion or experience at the time of publication.

Experiences, prices, menus, availability, quality, management, ownership, operating hours, policies, product specifications, and service standards may change.

A positive review or recommendation is not a guarantee that another person will have the same experience. You should conduct your own assessment before purchasing, booking, visiting, travelling, or relying on a recommendation.

Where content involves a paid partnership, complimentary product, hosted experience, employment relationship, affiliate relationship, or another material connection, we will aim to disclose that relationship clearly in accordance with applicable advertising and consumer-protection requirements.

8. Affiliate links, advertising, and sponsored content

The Website may contain advertisements, sponsored content, promotional material, and affiliate links.

When you click an affiliate link or complete a qualifying transaction, we may receive a commission or other benefit without necessarily increasing the price you pay.

Affiliate relationships do not guarantee a positive review. Opinions expressed on the Website remain our own unless clearly stated otherwise.

Material commercial relationships should also be disclosed near the relevant recommendation, article, review, post, or promotional content.

Third-party advertisers and affiliate partners are responsible for their own products, services, claims, availability, pricing, warranties, privacy practices, and contractual obligations.

9. Third-party websites and services

The Website may link to third-party websites and services, including Amazon, social-media platforms, booking services, restaurants, hotels, retailers, payment processors, newsletter providers, analytics services, advertising networks, and other external platforms.

External links are provided for convenience and do not mean that we control, endorse, guarantee, or accept responsibility for the third party.

Your use of a third-party service is governed by that third party’s own terms, policies, and procedures. You should review them before providing personal information or completing a transaction.

We are not responsible for loss, damage, disputes, malware, interruptions, content, privacy practices, or transactions arising from third-party websites or services.

10. Purchases and transactions

Some books, products, downloads, services, or resources displayed on the Website may be sold through third parties such as Amazon or another retailer.

When a transaction is completed through a third-party platform, the sale, payment, delivery, refund, return, cancellation, taxation, warranty, and customer-service arrangements are governed by that platform’s terms and applicable law.

If the Website later processes direct sales, any additional checkout terms, product terms, refund rules, licence conditions, or subscription terms presented at the time of purchase will form part of the agreement.

Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.

11. Intellectual property

By submitting material for publication, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, format, moderate, display, and distribute the material in connection with operating and promoting the Website.

19. Cookies and similar technologies

The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, analytics identifiers, embedded content, and similar technologies.

Strictly necessary technologies may be used where required to provide security, maintain sessions, remember privacy choices, or operate requested functions.

Where consent is legally required, non-essential analytics, advertising, personalisation, or tracking technologies will be activated only after valid consent has been obtained.

Users must be able to review or change available cookie choices through the Website’s cookie-preference controls.

Additional information must be provided in the Cookie Policy, including the categories, providers, purposes, and expected duration of cookies and similar technologies.

Where required by applicable law, we will recognise legally valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for activities covered by those signals.

20. Email and marketing communications

We may send newsletters, recipe updates, book news, promotional messages, or other marketing communications only where we have an appropriate legal basis.

Every promotional email sent directly by us will include a reasonable method to unsubscribe.

Transactional, security, administrative, or legally required messages may still be sent when necessary even after a person unsubscribes from marketing.

You must not provide another person’s email address for a subscription without their permission.

4. An explanation of the alleged infringement
5. A statement that the information supplied is accurate
6. Confirmation that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for the rights holder

Send notices to:

Rights contact: Sixto Carreon
Email: legal@sixtocarreon.com

We may request further information, remove or restrict material, notify the relevant user, or take other action required by applicable law.

Knowingly submitting a false or misleading complaint may create legal liability.

22. Availability and security

We aim to maintain a useful and secure Website, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, compatible with every device, or free from harmful components.

Access may be limited because of maintenance, updates, security incidents, hosting problems, technical failures, legal requirements, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

You are responsible for maintaining appropriate antivirus protection, backups, software updates, passwords, and device security.

23. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as available” and “as is” basis.

We disclaim warranties or representations concerning:

• Accuracy or completeness
• Fitness for a particular purpose
• Merchantability
• Non-infringement
• Availability or uninterrupted access
• Results obtained from using the Website
• Suitability of a recipe, product, restaurant, service, or recommendation
• Compatibility with individual dietary or medical needs

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, guarantee, or statutory right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

24. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sixto Carreon and persons involved in operating the Website will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential loss arising from use of or inability to use the Website.

This may include loss connected with:

• Reliance on recipes or articles
• Food preparation or storage
• Allergies or dietary decisions
• Travel or restaurant decisions
• Purchases from third parties
• Lost data
• Business interruption
• Website unavailability
• Malicious software or unauthorised access

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, wilful misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot be excluded, breach of mandatory privacy obligations, or any liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

Where liability cannot be excluded but may legally be limited, it will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

25. Indemnity

Where permitted by applicable law, you agree to compensate Sixto Carreon for reasonable losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses resulting from:

• Your unlawful use of the Website
• Your material breach of these Terms
• Your infringement of another person’s rights
• Content you submit to the Website
• Fraudulent, malicious, or abusive conduct

This section does not apply where prohibited by consumer-protection law and does not make you responsible for loss caused by our own unlawful conduct.

26. Suspension or termination

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Website or an interactive feature where reasonably necessary because of:

• A breach of these Terms
• Security risks
• Fraud, abuse, or unlawful conduct
• Legal or regulatory requirements
• Protection of users or third parties
• Discontinuation of a service

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective, including provisions concerning intellectual property, submitted content, disclaimers, liability, disputes, and governing law.

27. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in:

• Website services
• Business practices
• Technology
• Legal or regulatory requirements
• Security practices
• Third-party platforms

The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or obtain renewed consent before applying a material change.

Continued use after an update means acceptance only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

28. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Before starting formal proceedings, you and Sixto Carreon agree to make a reasonable effort to resolve the dispute informally by written notice.

Unless applicable law requires otherwise, disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the courts of Singapore.

This choice of law and forum does not remove any mandatory consumer, privacy, accessibility, or other legal protection available to you in your country of residence that cannot lawfully be waived.

29. General provisions

If a provision of these Terms is found unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be modified or separated only to the minimum extent necessary. The remaining provisions will continue to apply.

A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that provision.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without written permission. We may transfer the operation of the Website or these Terms as part of a lawful business restructuring, transfer, or succession, subject to applicable privacy and consumer laws.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Disclosure Policy, and any applicable purchase or service terms, form the agreement concerning use of the Website.
