Welcome to OriginalSin.com.sg
Here’s the deal. If you’re here, you’re probably poking around the legal side of our site. Fair. We’re glad you care. This page exists so everything is crystal clear between you and us. By hanging around, reading, clicking, or using our stuff, you’re saying you agree with how we do things. If anything below feels off, we get it. But using the site means you’re cool with the way things roll here.
What This Site’s For
This whole project started with one idea: good food belongs to everyone. Recipes shouldn’t be locked away, hidden in restaurant kitchens, or stuck in secret notebooks. OriginalSin.com.sg gives people access to bold, curious, sometimes unexplainable recipes from every corner of the culinary map. You’ll find unusual pairings, flavors you didn’t expect, and instructions that don’t sound like they came from a 1950s home economics class.
That said, we’re not trained chefs or lawyers. We’re curious folks sharing ideas. Nothing here replaces professional advice. Use your own judgment when trying anything. You’re responsible for what happens in your own kitchen.
You Can Use This Stuff, But…
Everything here, photos, words, designs, names, belongs to us unless we say otherwise. That means no lifting our work for your own site, project, app, book, or whatever else. Feel free to print a recipe, try it out, tweak it, share your version with your crew. Just don’t repost entire pieces, republish large chunks, or pretend it’s yours. Respect goes both ways.
If you’re using bits of our work, say a line or two in a blog, or an image in a school project, give us a mention and link back. That’s just fair.
Don’t Break the Site
Please don’t try anything weird or sneaky. No hacking, breaking into things, or flooding our comments section with spam about crypto wallets or magic weight-loss berries. We keep this site running with care. Messing with it hurts everyone using it for the right reasons.
Automated tools, bots, scripts? Those aren’t welcome unless we’ve specifically allowed them. Crawling for search engines is fine, but scraping for content is not.
Account Stuff
We might offer user accounts later on. If that happens, we’ll ask for some basic info—username, maybe an email, maybe a password. You’d be responsible for keeping that info safe and not sharing it with others. If someone else uses your login to wreck the place, we’ll have to treat it like you did it. Not fun.
If anything fishy happens with your login, tell us quickly. We’ll do our best to sort it out.
Content from You
There might be areas where you can post stuff. Comments, reviews, maybe even submit your own recipes. If you send anything our way, you’re telling us: you made it, it’s not stolen, and it doesn’t break anyone’s rights.
By posting, you’re also giving us permission to use that content on the site, in promotions, or to help others discover it. You still own your stuff, but we can show it off as long as it’s connected to OriginalSin.com.sg.
Hateful, gross, illegal, or just plain mean content? That won’t stick. We’ll remove it. If we miss something, let us know and we’ll act fast.
What’s Ours, What’s Not
Our name, our look, our logo, those belong to us. They represent who we are, so please don’t copy or change them for your own use.
Anything you see on this site that came from someone else (like guest writers or credited photographers) stays theirs. We try our best to credit everyone correctly. If you notice something off, give us a nudge.
External Links
We link to other sites sometimes, ingredients, gear, maybe a funny video. Those sites aren’t under our control. We’re not responsible for what happens there. If a link breaks, leads somewhere sketchy, or stops being useful, we’d appreciate a heads-up.
Buying something through a link? You might be dealing with a partner site. We might earn a small amount if you make a purchase. This helps us keep sharing recipes without charging anyone to browse.
Recipes Are For Sharing, Not Blaming
Try what you want. Change it. Make it yours. Just don’t blame us if things go sideways. Burned dishes, weird textures, allergic reactions, those fall on the cook. We offer ideas, not guarantees. If you’re trying something new, especially with allergens or unfamiliar ingredients, check with a pro before diving in.
Tech Glitches
We run this site on a stable platform and update it regularly. Even so, tech can act up. Downtime, bugs, errors, they’re possible. If you see a problem, report it. We’ll fix it when we can. No promises about uninterrupted access.
Also, we can’t promise that the site will work perfectly on every device, browser, or toaster with internet (you laugh, but someone tried). We test as much as we can, but perfection is a myth.
Changes Happen
We tweak things often, design, wording, layout, features. That includes this page. Terms can change without warning. If anything changes and it’s a big deal, we’ll highlight it on the homepage or at the top of this page.
Using the site after updates means you’re cool with what’s new. If not, that’s your cue to step away.
Rules for Use
Respect goes a long way. Don’t steal. Don’t harass. Don’t try to game the system. Keep conversations thoughtful. We’ll do the same.
If someone violates these terms, we might ban their IP, remove their content, or block their access. We don’t like doing that, but we will to keep things safe and fair.
Privacy Is a Big Deal
Our Privacy Policy covers the details, but here’s the short version: we collect as little as possible, keep it safe, and don’t sell your info. Cookies help us run analytics, make suggestions, and improve the site experience. You can turn cookies off in your browser if you want to, though it might break some features.
Age Guidelines
This site’s open to everyone, but if you're under 13, check with a parent or guardian before sharing anything or signing up. We don’t aim content at kids, and we don’t knowingly collect info from anyone under that age.
Older teens, you're welcome here, but remember: some of our writing is playful and a bit cheeky. If your household prefers squeaky clean content, use your best judgment.
Rights We Reserve
We can edit or remove anything for any reason. We’re not obligated to publish comments, accept submissions, or keep up every old post forever.
We can shut down the site if needed, for maintenance, upgrades, or if life throws us something unexpected. Hopefully that never happens, but we want to be upfront.
Don’t Take It Personally
Sometimes, recipes fail. Ingredients behave strangely. Appliances betray trust. Just know—none of it is personal. If your noodles stick or your soup looks like lava, laugh it off, try again, or take a break. We’re rooting for you either way.
Indemnity Clause (Yeah, That One Legal Bit)
If you break rules, misuse the site, or harm someone else using our material, you agree to cover us if we get pulled into legal trouble because of it. Basically: play nice, act fairly, and use good judgment.
No Formal Partnerships
Mentioning a brand, tool, ingredient, or service doesn't mean we’re partnered with them. Sometimes we’re just fans. Sometimes it’s affiliate stuff. We’re always honest about it either way.
No Guarantees, No Warranties
We offer ideas, not ironclad guarantees. Use this site at your own risk. We’re not liable for anything that happens as a result of using, trying, or sharing what’s here. Your mileage may vary.
Jurisdiction
This site runs out of Singapore. That’s where any legal matters would be handled. By using this site, you’re agreeing that if anything legal does pop up, Singapore’s laws apply.
You’re still reading? Awesome. That means you care about doing things right, which we respect. Thanks for spending time with us. We’ll keep working hard to make this a place worth visiting, reading, and cooking from.
