If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions, you must not register for or use Chefs.studio.
In these Terms and Conditions, the following terms have the meanings set out below:
Chefs.studio is a culinary knowledge platform created for professional chefs, serious cooks and food industry practitioners. It is designed to share practical, credible, technique-led culinary knowledge, drawing on the expertise of experienced professionals, including Michelin-starred contributors.
The Platform is operated by Mediamatic, a digital agency registered in Malta. Correspondence relating to the Platform should be directed to: [email protected].
Chefs.studio reserves the right to modify, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Platform at any time, with or without notice, and shall not be liable to you or any third party for any such changes.
You must be at least 18 years of age to register for an account on Chefs.studio. By registering, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that all information you provide during registration is accurate, current and complete.
We reserve the right to refuse registration to any person, at our sole discretion, without giving reasons.
To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account by completing the registration process. You agree to:
You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account login credentials. You must not share your password with any other person. You agree to notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised access to or use of your account.
We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.
Chefs.studio may offer different tiers of account, including free and paid membership levels. The features, permissions and content accessible to you will depend on the account tier you hold. We reserve the right to change the features associated with any tier, or to introduce new tiers, at any time.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected] or by using the account deletion function within your account settings, where available. Upon closure, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately.
By using Chefs.studio, you agree that you will use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms and Conditions. You agree not to:
Certain Content on Chefs.studio is available to view without registration. More detailed, technical and professional Content may be restricted to registered users or to specific membership tiers. We reserve the right to change which Content is freely accessible at any time.
All Content made available on the Platform is provided for your personal, non-commercial use only, unless you have entered into a separate written agreement with us for commercial use. You may not copy, redistribute, republish, transmit, broadcast or otherwise make available any Content to any third party without our prior written consent.
While we take care to ensure that Content on Chefs.studio is accurate and produced by qualified professionals, it is provided for informational and educational purposes only. You should exercise your own professional judgement before applying any technique, process, recipe or advice to a commercial kitchen, foodservice operation or other professional setting.
We do not accept liability for any loss, injury or damage arising from reliance on Content published on the Platform.
We do not guarantee that the Platform, or any specific Content, will be available at all times or without interruption. We reserve the right to withdraw, amend or restrict access to any Content at any time.
A Workpost is a structured content format used on Chefs.studio to share practical culinary knowledge, professional techniques, recipes, methods, commentary or insight. Workposts are typically created by verified Contributors but may also be available to registered professional users depending on their account tier.
If your account tier permits you to create Workposts, you agree that any Workpost you submit will:
By submitting a Workpost, you grant Chefs.studio a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual licence to use, reproduce, publish, edit, translate, distribute and display your Workpost (in whole or in part) across the Platform and in associated marketing or promotional materials, with attribution to you.
You retain ownership of your own original Content, but by submitting it you confirm you have the right to grant us the above licence.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to edit, remove, refuse or decline to publish any Workpost that we consider to be in breach of these Terms and Conditions, inaccurate, misleading, inappropriate or otherwise unsuitable for the Platform. We are not obliged to give reasons for any such decision.
Chefs.studio is committed to professional standards in culinary knowledge. You are responsible for ensuring that any Workpost you submit reflects accurate culinary practice and, where relevant, is consistent with food safety regulations and professional best practice.
If you contribute Content to Chefs.studio as a named or verified Contributor, additional terms may apply to your relationship with us, which will be set out in a separate Contributor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between a Contributor Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, the Contributor Agreement shall take precedence in relation to the subject matter of that agreement.
All Contributors are required to disclose any commercial relationships, sponsorships or conflicts of interest that may affect the impartiality of their Content. We are committed to the editorial integrity of the Platform and will label all Sponsored Content clearly.
All Intellectual Property Rights in the Platform, including (but not limited to) the design, structure, layout, software, trademarks, logos, and original Content produced by or on behalf of Chefs.studio, are owned by or licensed to us. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions grants you any right or licence to use our Intellectual Property other than as expressly set out herein.
You retain ownership of the Intellectual Property Rights in your own original Content submitted to the Platform, subject to the licence granted to us in Section 6.3.
If you believe that any Content on Chefs.studio infringes your Intellectual Property Rights, please contact us at [email protected] with full details of your claim. We will investigate all properly submitted notices and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

We reserve the right to remove any Content that we, at our sole discretion, consider to be in breach of this Section, and to suspend or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly or seriously breach these requirements.
Chefs.studio may, from time to time, publish Sponsored Content produced in association with commercial partners, sponsors or advertisers. All Sponsored Content will be clearly labelled as such and will be distinguished from editorial Content.
Our editorial standards apply to all Content published on the Platform. Sponsorship or commercial association does not entitle any partner to editorial control over Content. We reserve the right to decline, edit or withdraw any sponsored material that does not meet our editorial standards.
We are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as applicable in Malta and the European Union.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, and to restrict or remove your access to the Platform, at any time and without prior notice, if we reasonably believe that:
On termination, all rights granted to you under these Terms and Conditions will cease immediately.
