What ShameKitchen is
ShameKitchen is a personal food accountability agent delivered through WhatsApp. You send us photographs and descriptions of your meals; we respond with personalised feedback, track patterns, open and close cases tied to your stated goals, and send you check-ins and verdicts.
ShameKitchen is delivered through automated systems including AI models, with human oversight of safety and quality. We may add, change, or remove features over time.

- A medical service, nutritional service, dietetic service, or mental health service
- A diagnostic tool of any kind

- A weight-loss programme or body-modification programme
ShameKitchen is an accountability and behavioural-prompt service intended for adults who want help building food-related habits aligned with their own stated goals. Always listen to your body. If you are struggling with food, eating, body image, or mental health, please speak to a qualified healthcare professional.

Your content and our content
Your content
You retain ownership of the photographs, text, voice notes, and other content you send to ShameKitchen ("Your Content").
By sending Your Content to us, you grant ShameKitchen a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, transmit, analyse, and use Your Content for the purpose of providing and improving the service to you. This licence ends when we delete the content under our retention schedule or at your request, subject to backups and legal retention requirements.
You represent that:
- You have the right to share Your Content with us
- Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights
- Your Content complies with Section 4 (Acceptable use)
Our content
The responses, roasts, cases, verdicts, rank titles, and other content generated by ShameKitchen ("Our Content") are generated automatically and provided to you for your personal, non-commercial use.
You may share screenshots of Our Content on social media if and as you choose, including with the #CrimesAgainstNutrition hashtag, provided you do not modify Our Content in a way that misrepresents what we said.
You may not:
- Use Our Content to train a competing AI model
- Resell, sublicense, or commercially distribute Our Content
- Strip our branding from publicly shared verdict cards
ShameKitchen brand and software
The ShameKitchen name, logo, website, software, system prompts, and all related intellectual property are owned by 814 Solutions. These Terms grant you no licence to use our brand or software beyond using the service as intended.
Safety and the Panic Button
ShameKitchen is designed with safety features that override roast and accountability behaviour when distress signals are detected. This includes the Panic Button (SOS) which surfaces country-appropriate crisis resources and switches the service to a supportive mode.
The Panic Button and access to crisis resources are always free, available regardless of subscription status, and never used for any commercial purpose.
ShameKitchen is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or having thoughts of self-harm, please contact your local emergency services or one of the helplines surfaced by the Panic Button.
AI and automated content
ShameKitchen's responses are generated by AI models. AI output can be wrong, unexpected, or sound confident while being inaccurate.
You agree that:
- You will not rely on ShameKitchen for medical, nutritional, mental health, legal, or other professional advice
- You understand that roasts are intentional behavioural prompts, not statements of fact
- You will use your own judgment about what is appropriate for your body and health
We do not warrant that AI output will be accurate, complete, suitable for your purposes, or free of error.
WhatsApp and third-party services
ShameKitchen is delivered through WhatsApp, a service operated by Meta Platforms, Inc. Your use of WhatsApp is governed by WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy.
Our service depends on third-party providers (listed in our Privacy Policy). If those providers experience outages, our service may be unavailable. We are not responsible for the actions or outages of third-party providers, but we will use reasonable efforts to restore service.
Availability
We aim to keep ShameKitchen available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may suspend or restrict the service for maintenance, upgrades, safety reasons, legal reasons, or for any reason in our reasonable discretion. We will give notice where practical.
Daily limits, rate limits, and feature availability may change. The current limits applicable to your tier are described on our website or in onboarding.
Termination
You may stop using ShameKitchen at any time. To delete your data, send DELETE MY DATA to our WhatsApp number.
We may suspend or terminate your access:
- Immediately and without notice if you breach Section 4 (Acceptable use), commit fraud, or pose a safety risk to yourself or others
- Immediately if required by law or by a regulator
- With reasonable notice for any other reason, including discontinuing the service
If we terminate your paid subscription without cause, we will refund the unused portion on a pro-rata basis. If we terminate for breach, no refund is owed.
Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law, and dispute resolution) will survive.
Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
ShameKitchen is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will meet your requirements, be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
No professional advice. Nothing in ShameKitchen constitutes medical, nutritional, mental health, psychological, legal, or financial advice. Always consult qualified professionals for matters within their expertise.
No outcome guarantee. We do not guarantee that using ShameKitchen will result in any particular outcome, including any change in your eating behaviour, habits, weight, or wellbeing.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent we cannot exclude a warranty under applicable law, our liability is limited as set out in Section 13.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- ShameKitchen, 814 Solutions, and their respective officers, employees, agents, and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, data, business opportunities, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the service.
- Our total cumulative liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to ShameKitchen will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ₹2,000 (Indian rupees two thousand) or its equivalent in your local currency.
These limits apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct.
Governing law and dispute resolution
Governing law
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Mandatory binding arbitration
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service ("Dispute"), other than disputes carved out below, will be resolved by binding arbitration, not in court.
- For users resident in India: Arbitration will be seated in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, conducted in English by a sole arbitrator, under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. The arbitration will be administered by a recognised Indian arbitral institution if the parties agree, or otherwise ad hoc.
- For users resident outside India: Arbitration will be seated in Singapore, conducted in English by a sole arbitrator, under the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) Rules then in force.
The arbitrator's award is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action waiver
You and ShameKitchen agree that any Dispute will be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims by or against more than one person and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds this class action waiver unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, then that claim or remedy (and only that claim or remedy) will be severed and brought in court, and the remainder of the arbitration clause will continue to apply.
Injunctive relief carve-out
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to:
- Stop unauthorised use or infringement of intellectual property rights
- Stop a breach of confidentiality obligations
- Address a safety risk requiring immediate action
Seeking such relief is not a waiver of the right to arbitrate other Disputes.
Small claims
You may bring an individual claim in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction in your country of residence instead of arbitration, provided the claim qualifies and remains in that court.
Time limit
Any claim must be filed within one year of the event giving rise to the claim, unless a longer period is required by law.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ShameKitchen, 814 Solutions, and their respective officers, employees, agents, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
- Your breach of these Terms
- Your misuse of the service
- Your Content
- Your violation of any law or the rights of any third party
We will notify you of any claim and may, at our option, assume control of its defence with counsel of our choice. You will cooperate reasonably with our defence.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through WhatsApp or by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of ShameKitchen after a material update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
If you do not agree with an update, your remedy is to stop using the service and request deletion of your account.
General
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any feature-specific terms we present to you, constitute the entire agreement between you and ShameKitchen regarding the service.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, on reasonable notice.
Force majeure. We are not liable for failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, internet outages, telecommunications failures, government action, pandemic, or natural disaster.
No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and us.
Language. These Terms are in English. Any translation we provide is for convenience only; the English version controls in case of conflict.
