Fig Terms of Use

Effective 9 October 2026 · Contact: [email protected]

1. Agreement

These terms govern your use of Fig, a product of FIRSTBIRD AS. By using Fig, you agree to these terms.

If additional terms are presented for a particular feature, those additional terms also apply.

2. What Fig does

Fig turns a recipe from a URL, photo, PDF, pasted text or — where the feature is offered — a public YouTube video into a structured, cookable recipe card. Ask Fig lets you modify a saved recipe by describing what you want changed — a substitution, a different serving size, making it vegan — in your own words, optionally with a photo.

Recipe extraction and Ask Fig's responses are generated using AI models. AI output can be wrong: quantities, timings, substitutions, and other details may not match the original source or may not be safe for every diet or allergy. A recipe read from a video can also miss or misread an ingredient, a quantity shown only briefly on screen, a time or a temperature. Fig flags missing or conflicting details it identifies and keeps a link to the source so you can check and edit the recipe. You are responsible for reviewing anything Fig produces before relying on it, especially around food safety and allergens.

3. Acceptable use

You may not use Fig to:

  • break the law or violate the rights of another person;
  • submit malicious code, interfere with the service or bypass security measures;
  • use automated means to overload, scrape or abuse the service;
  • attempt unauthorized access to systems, accounts or data;
  • misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
  • use the service in a way that could harm FIRSTBIRD, its users or its providers.

We may restrict or suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the service, investigate misuse or comply with law.

4. Content you submit

You retain any rights you hold in content you submit — recipe sources, photos, notes, and Ask Fig messages included. You grant FIRSTBIRD a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and process that content, including sending it to the AI providers described in Fig's Privacy Policy, only as reasonably necessary to operate Fig and provide the feature you requested. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups for the retention period or criteria described in Fig's Privacy Policy, or as the law requires.

FIRSTBIRD does not use the content you submit or import to train or fine-tune AI models, and does not permit its AI providers to do so.

Fig's Privacy Policy explains the purposes, legal bases, recipients and retention that apply to this processing.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to submit and use the content. Do not submit unlawful or harmful material, or information you are not permitted to provide to us.

5. Importing recipes from other websites

Fig can import a recipe from a web page you give it a link to. This only happens when you ask for it. Fig is designed to retrieve only the web address you submit, at the moment you submit it; it does not crawl websites, follow links to other pages, bypass access controls, or import anything in bulk or in the background.

When Fig imports a page it keeps the functional parts of the recipe — the title, the ingredients and their quantities, the steps, times, temperatures and yield — along with a few short, paraphrased practical tips, which may be drawn from the page's own notes or its reader comments. Fig does not reproduce the source's article text, personal essays or headnotes, or its comments and reviews, verbatim or in bulk. Fig does not download, store or re-host the source's photographs; where it shows a recipe's lead image, it loads that image directly from the source's own servers. Fig does not attempt to reach content that sits behind a paywall or a login.

Recipes you import are private to your account unless you choose to share them using Fig's sharing tools. Fig keeps the source's name and a link to the original page, and you can open the original from the imported recipe.

You may use the importer only for pages you are permitted to access, and to keep a copy of the recipe in your personal collection. You may use Fig's sharing tools to share a recipe where you have the right to do so, while keeping its source attribution. You may not use the importer to copy a site's content at scale or to reproduce a substantial part of a site's recipe collection, and you may not redistribute protected text or images without permission or another applicable legal basis.

FIRSTBIRD does not claim ownership of imported third-party content. Such content may change or become unavailable at its source at any time, and your use of any third-party website is governed by that third party's own terms. Section 10 sets out how liability is handled.

5a. Importing recipes from videos

Where Fig offers it, you can give Fig a link to one public YouTube video. Only when you ask for it, Fig reads that video's title, description, creator identity and public comments through the YouTube API Services, and has an AI service listen to the video's audio and read the text shown on screen, in order to extract the cooking facts — the ingredients and their quantities, the steps, times, temperatures and yield — into a recipe card written in Fig's own concise wording. Fig may also open one recipe page the creator links to in the description, under section 5. Fig does not download, store or re-host the video, does not reproduce the narration or a transcript, and does not republish comments.

Where Fig offers it, you can also give Fig a link to one public Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or Pinterest post. Fig reads the post's caption and public details through a third-party data provider and uses the caption, or one recipe page the post links to, when that gives the recipe. Only when it does not, Fig makes a temporary copy of the post's video or images solely so an AI service can read the cooking facts from it. Fig asks for that copy to be deleted when the import ends, retries the deletion if needed, and the AI service removes it automatically within 48 hours in any case. Fig does not keep, show or re-host the post's video or images. The recipe keeps the creator's handle and a working link to the post.

The same rules apply to posts as to videos: Fig extracts cooking facts into its own wording and does not reproduce captions, narration, images or video; use the feature only for posts you are permitted to view and for your personal recipe collection; keep the source attribution when you share a recipe; and the rights in a creator's words, images and video stay with their owners -- extracting cooking facts gives neither you nor FIRSTBIRD a licence to reuse them. Private or restricted posts, and posts or accounts whose owners have asked us to stop, are not imported.

The recipe keeps the video's title, the creator's channel name and a working link to the video on YouTube, and shows the video's own thumbnail as a linked preview, loaded directly from YouTube's servers and unmodified. That thumbnail is a source preview only: Fig does not use it as recipe artwork, in exported or shared recipe cards, or anywhere else. A shared recipe carries the cooking facts and the source link, never the video's images, narration or comments.

Ingredient quantities and cooking methods can be factual or functional information. Copyright can still protect original wording, narration, photographs, video and other creative material, including protected expression in descriptions and comments. Those rights remain with their owners. Extracting cooking facts gives neither you nor FIRSTBIRD a licence to reuse protected material, and naming the source does not provide one. Use this feature only for videos you are permitted to view and for your personal recipe collection. You may use Fig's sharing tools to share a recipe where you have the right to do so, while keeping its source attribution. Do not copy a creator's work at scale or redistribute protected text or images without permission or another applicable legal basis.

This feature uses YouTube API Services. By using it you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Fig's Privacy Policy describes what Fig processes through the YouTube API Services and links to the Google Privacy Policy. Videos that are private, unlisted, live, age-restricted or otherwise restricted, and videos or channels whose owners have asked us to stop, are not imported. Fig respects such restrictions and does not try to obtain a video by other means.

Importing a recipe from a video does not publish it. Saved recipes are private unless you choose to share them using Fig's sharing tools. Section 6 applies to any content or rights concern.

6. Reporting content and intellectual-property concerns

If you believe material imported or stored through Fig — including a recipe read from a video, or the source preview shown with it — infringes your rights or is otherwise unlawful, send a notice to [email protected]. So that we can act on it, please include:

  • where the material appears in Fig, if you know, or the original source address or other detail that lets us identify it;
  • an explanation of why you consider it infringing or unlawful, including the legal or intellectual-property basis;
  • your name and an email address we can reply to;
  • a statement that you believe, in good faith, that the information in the notice is accurate.

We will acknowledge receipt of a sufficiently detailed notice and assess it in a timely, diligent, objective and non-arbitrary way. Where appropriate we will remove or disable access to the specific material. We will, without undue delay, tell the sender of the notice our decision and any available ways to seek redress. If we restrict content or an account, we will, where the law permits, tell the affected user the reason and how they can challenge the decision.

We keep a record of notices and the action taken. We may remove a disputed source preview, block imports from a particular website, video or channel, or restrict an account, where a review shows a proportionate, repeated pattern of misuse, and after prior warning where the law requires it.

6a. Sharing recipes and photos

When you tap Share or Copy link, the recipe you share — its card, including any picture on it — can be seen by anyone with the link, inside or outside Fig. You can stop sharing at any time; copies others have already made are outside our control.

If you add your own photo to a shared recipe card, you confirm that:

  • you took the photo or otherwise have the right to share it publicly;
  • it contains nothing sexual, violent, hateful, harassing, dangerous or illegal, and nothing that promotes self-harm;
  • any person who can be recognised in it has agreed to it being shared, and it shows no one's private information;
  • it does not infringe anyone's copyright, trademark or other rights.

You are asked to accept these rules before your first photo. Fig checks photos automatically before they can be used, and may refuse a photo. Anyone can report a shared recipe or its picture from inside the app, or by writing to [email protected]; we review reports within 24 hours. We may remove a shared recipe or photo that breaks these rules, and may stop an account that breaks them — or does so repeatedly — from sharing, as described in section 6.

7. Subscriptions

Fig offers a free tier and an optional paid subscription for additional features. Paid subscriptions are billed and managed through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or — on the web — RevenueCat's own billing (backed by Stripe), depending on where you subscribed. Pricing, renewal, and cancellation are governed by that platform's own terms; Fig does not process your payment details directly.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep Fig reliable, but the service — including AI-powered features, which depend on third-party model providers — may occasionally be unavailable, interrupted or changed. We may add, remove or modify features and may discontinue the service where reasonably necessary.

9. Intellectual property

Fig's software, branding, visual design and original content are owned by FIRSTBIRD AS or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These terms do not transfer ownership of those materials to you.

10. Disclaimers and liability

Fig is provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, FIRSTBIRD does not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free output or that information produced by Fig — including AI-generated recipe structuring and Ask Fig responses — will be complete or suitable for every purpose.

You remain responsible for reviewing information before relying on it, including recipe instructions, ingredient information, measurements, food-safety information and material originating from third parties.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. To the extent permitted by law, FIRSTBIRD AS is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from use of Fig.

11. Ending use

You may stop using Fig at any time. Provisions that by their nature should continue after use ends—including intellectual-property, disclaimer and liability provisions—will remain in effect.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by Norwegian law, without limiting any mandatory consumer protections that apply in your country of residence.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Fig changes. The effective date at the top of the page shows when the terms were last revised.
