1. About Kitchen Affliction
Kitchen Affliction is a food and recipe website owned and operated by Jeffrey Murphy in Salisbury, Massachusetts, USA.
The website shares recipes, cooking instructions, kitchen tips, food photography, product recommendations, and stories about food, family, and life around Murphyville.
2. Informational Purposes Only
Kitchen Affliction content is provided for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes.
Recipes, cooking methods, product suggestions, nutrition information, and other content reflect personal experiences and opinions. Nothing on the website should be considered professional medical, nutritional, dietary, or health advice.
Consult an appropriately qualified professional if you have questions about your health, diet, allergies, or nutritional needs.
3. Recipe Results
We work hard to test recipes and provide accurate instructions. However, kitchens, appliances, ingredients, cooking experience, weather conditions, and individual techniques can affect the final result.
Kitchen Affliction cannot guarantee that every recipe will produce exactly the same result for every reader. You are responsible for using your own judgment and following appropriate food preparation and safety practices.
4. Food Safety
You are responsible for safely selecting, storing, preparing, cooking, and serving food.
Cooking times provided in recipes are estimates. Always use a reliable food thermometer when appropriate and confirm that food has reached a safe internal temperature before serving.
Do not consume ingredients that appear spoiled, contaminated, improperly stored, or unsafe.
Kitchen Affliction is not responsible for illness, injury, property damage, or other loss resulting from improper food handling, preparation, storage, cooking, or consumption.
5. Allergies and Dietary Restrictions
Recipes may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
Ingredient brands and manufacturing practices may change without notice. Kitchen Affliction cannot guarantee that any recipe, ingredient, or recommended product is free from a particular allergen.
If you or someone you are cooking for has an allergy, intolerance, medical condition, or dietary restriction, carefully review every ingredient label and consult a qualified medical professional when necessary.
Any substitutions or dietary classifications mentioned on the website are suggestions only. You are responsible for determining whether a recipe is appropriate for your individual needs.

11. Affiliate Links and Product Recommendations
Kitchen Affliction participates in affiliate advertising programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
As an Amazon Associate, Kitchen Affliction earns from qualifying purchases.
Some links on the website are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, Kitchen Affliction may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Product recommendations are based on personal opinions, experiences, research, or information available at the time of publication. An affiliate relationship does not guarantee a positive recommendation.

12. Digital Products
Kitchen Affliction may sell downloadable products, including recipe collections, meal plans, ebooks, printable materials, and similar digital content.
Purchases will be processed through WooCommerce and WooPayments or another payment service identified at checkout.
Unless a product description states otherwise, purchasing a digital product gives you a limited, personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to download and use it for your own noncommercial purposes.
Your purchase does not transfer ownership of the product or its intellectual property rights.
You may not reproduce, resell, distribute, publish, share, upload, sublicense, or commercially exploit a purchased digital product without prior written permission.
13. Prices and Payment
Prices are displayed in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.
You agree to provide complete and accurate billing and payment information. You authorize the applicable payment processor to charge the amount shown at checkout, including any applicable taxes or fees.
Kitchen Affliction does not directly receive or store complete payment card details. Payment information is processed by the payment service presented during checkout.
Prices and product availability may change at any time. A price change will not affect an order that has already been completed.
Kitchen Affliction may cancel or refund an order if there is a pricing error, suspected fraud, unauthorized activity, or a technical problem that prevents the order from being completed properly.
14. Digital Product Delivery
Digital products will normally be delivered electronically through a download page, an order confirmation, an email, or a customer account.
You are responsible for providing a valid email address and maintaining access to the device, software, and internet connection needed to download and use the product.
If you do not receive your download or experience a technical problem, contact kitchenaffliction@gmail.com. We will make a reasonable effort to provide access or correct the issue.
15. Digital Product Refunds
Because digital products can be accessed immediately, purchases are generally final once a product has been downloaded or accessed.
A refund may be considered when:
- You were charged more than once for the same purchase.
- The file is corrupted or unusable.
- A technical problem prevents access and Kitchen Affliction cannot resolve it.
- The product differs materially from its description.
- A refund is required by applicable law.
Refund requests must be submitted within 14 days of purchase. Include your order information and a description of the problem.
A change of mind, failure to read the product description, or inability to use a product due to unsupported software or equipment will not normally qualify for a refund.
Approved refunds will generally be returned through the original payment method. Processing times may depend on WooPayments, your bank, or your card provider.
Nothing in this policy limits any consumer right that cannot legally be waived.
