Terms

Use the site honestly.

These terms govern the current site, private accounts, and nomination flow. Last updated August 5, 2026.

Informational use

FoodRateKing provides opinion and general information, not medical, nutritional, financial, or professional advice. Products, ingredients, prices, and availability change.

Private accounts

An account is optional for browsing and nominations. You are responsible for protecting your email, password, Google account, and signed-in devices. Account creation does not create a public identity, contributor role, vote, score, review, endorsement, or entitlement to publication. Do not create accounts to evade moderation or manipulate future community systems.

Optional community sharing

If community sharing becomes available, it requires separate consent and an individual sharing action for each eligible firsthand rating. You grant FoodRateKing a non-exclusive license to use that selected rating and its relationship disclosure to calculate and validate identity-free aggregate community results. You may withdraw consent or stop sharing, after which affected output is withheld until rebuilt. Do not use multiple accounts, coordinated campaigns, undisclosed incentives, or other manipulation. Community aggregates and editorial scores remain separate.

No guaranteed outcome

A nomination does not guarantee review, testing, publication, response, score, rank, or endorsement.

Your submission

You retain ownership of original material you submit and grant FoodRateKing a non-exclusive license to store, review, edit, and, only after a separate editorial decision, publish it in connection with the service. You must have the right to submit it and must not submit deceptive, unlawful, infringing, confidential, or sensitive personal information.

Prohibited use

  • Coordinated ranking manipulation or undisclosed campaigns.
  • Impersonation, harassment, spam, malware, or automated abuse.
  • Private data submitted without permission.
  • Attempts to bypass moderation or overload the service.

Editorial independence

Payment, advertising, sponsorship, samples, or access cannot buy a position or control an editorial conclusion.

Availability

The prelaunch service may change or be unavailable. Verify information that matters to health, safety, diet, or purchase decisions.
