1. About Micasero / Sobre Micasero
Micasero LLC ("Micasero", "we", "us") is a technology company incorporated in Wyoming, United States. Micasero operates an online marketplace platform that connects independent home cooks ("Cooks") with local customers ("Clients") who seek home-cooked meals.
Micasero is a platform — not a food provider, restaurant, delivery service, employer, or payment processor for food transactions. Micasero's role is limited to providing software tools for discovery, visibility, and communication between Cooks and Clients.
2. 🛡️ Platform Shield — No Liability for Food Transactions
This is the most important section. Micasero does not process, handle, or guarantee food payments. All payments for food occur directly between Clients and Cooks using external methods (bank transfer, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, WhatsApp, cash, etc.).
Micasero is not responsible for and expressly disclaims all liability related to:
- Food quality, safety, allergens, or health consequences
- Foodborne illness or injury from consuming meals purchased through the platform
- Disputes between Clients and Cooks regarding food, payment, or delivery
- Non-delivery or late delivery of food orders
- The accuracy of Cook profiles, descriptions, or pricing
- Compliance by Cooks with local food safety, health, or business regulations
This limitation applies globally regardless of the country where the transaction occurs.
3. Cook Responsibilities / Responsabilidades del Cocinero
By registering as a Cook, you represent and warrant that:
- You are solely responsible for complying with all local, state, national, and international laws regarding home food preparation, food safety, business licenses, and tax obligations in your jurisdiction
- You have obtained all required permits, licenses, and certifications required by your local government
- You will accurately represent your food, ingredients, allergens, and pricing
- You will honor agreements made directly with Clients
- You are an independent contractor, not an employee, agent, or partner of Micasero
Micasero does not verify food safety certifications, business licenses, or regulatory compliance. The Cook assumes full legal and financial responsibility for food prepared and sold.
4. Membership / Membresía
Cooks receive a free 30-day trial. After the trial, Micasero charges a monthly membership fee of $15 USD/month (or local equivalent) to maintain an active, visible profile on the platform.
If payment fails or the membership is canceled, the Cook's profile will be deactivated until the membership is reinstated. The membership fee is the only payment Micasero charges. Micasero does not charge commissions on food sales.
Membership fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
5. Client Acknowledgment / Reconocimiento del Cliente
By using Micasero as a Client, you acknowledge and agree that:
- You are transacting directly with the Cook, not with Micasero
- Micasero is not responsible for food quality, safety, or fulfillment
- You assume all risk associated with purchasing and consuming food from independent home cooks
- Any disputes must be resolved directly with the Cook
6. ⚖️ LIMITATION OF LIABILITY — CRITICAL
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MICASERO LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES.
In no event shall Micasero's total liability to any party exceed the greater of: (a) the amount paid by that party to Micasero in the 12 months prior to the claim, or (b) $100 USD.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, etc.) and even if Micasero has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
