Terms of Use

These are my Terms of Use. As the owner of a proudly Canadian website, Homemade-Dessert-Recipes.com, I have taken every effort to design my site to be useful, informative, helpful, honest, and fun.

Hopefully, I have accomplished that — and would ask that you let me know whether you would like to see improvements or changes that would make it even easier for you to find the information you need and want.

All I ask is that you agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions. Please take a few minutes to look them over because by using my site you automatically agree to them. Naturally, if you don't agree, please do not use my site.

I reserve the right to make any modifications to my Terms of Use that I deem necessary at any time. Please continue to check these Terms of Use to see what those changes may be! Your continued use of the Homemade-Dessert-Recipes.com website means that you accept those changes.
