Using this website

You’re very welcome to read, cook and enjoy everything on Obviously French. All recipes, photos and texts are my own and protected by copyright. Please don’t copy them, republish them or use my photos without asking me first. If you’d like to share a recipe, a link back to the original post is always lovely.

Recipes and advice

I test my recipes in my kitchen and share them with care, but results can vary depending on your ingredients, oven and equipment. Nutrition information is an estimate only. Please always check ingredients yourself if you have allergies or dietary needs.

Comments

I love reading your comments! Please keep them kind and on topic. I may remove comments that are offensive, spam or contain links to other websites.

Affiliate links and ads

Some links on Obviously French are affiliate links, including Amazon. If you buy something through them, I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Ads are managed by Journey by Mediavine. You can read more in my Privacy Policy.

Digital products

I sell digital downloads, such as PDF guides about French cooking and culture. They’re delivered by email straight after your purchase. My free e-book is sent when you join my newsletter.

  • Prices: all prices are shown in euros (€) and include VAT where it applies.
  • Payment: payments are processed securely by Stripe. I never see or store your card details.
  • Delivery: you’ll receive an email with your download link right after payment. Can’t find it within 15 minutes? Check your spam folder or contact me.
  • Access: your download link doesn’t expire, but please save your files somewhere safe.

Your right to cancel

Under EU law, you usually have 14 days to cancel an online purchase. For digital products, this right ends once the download starts, if you agreed at checkout to receive your product straight away and acknowledged that you would lose your right to cancel.

If something goes wrong, like a broken link or a file that won’t open, contact me within 14 days and I’ll fix it or refund you.

Everything in my guides is my own work and protected by copyright.

You can:

Liability

My website and products are for information and inspiration. I do my best to keep everything accurate, but I can’t guarantee results. To the extent permitted by law, I’m not responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this website or my products. This doesn’t affect your rights as a consumer.

Your data

When you buy a product, I use your name and email address to deliver it and send you your receipt. Everything about how I handle your data is in my Privacy Policy.

Disputes and mediation

If you have a problem, please contact me first so we can find a solution together. If we can’t, you can contact a consumer mediator for free: [name and website of your médiateur de la consommation].

These terms are governed by French law, and the French courts are competent for any dispute. If you’re a consumer, you also keep the protection of the law of the country where you live.

Changes and contact

I may update these terms from time to time, and the date at the top will change. The terms that apply to a purchase are the ones in place on the day you made it.
