Terms of Use

Turn-In BBQ for iPhone and iPad, by Warped Technologies LLC. Effective 17 October 2026.

Who we are and what these terms cover

Turn-In BBQ (the "app") is made by Warped Technologies LLC ("we", "us"). These terms cover the app, its smart features and this website (turninbbq.com). By using the app or this site, you agree to them. The app is licensed to you under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the standard EULA), and these terms add to it. If the two ever conflict, Apple's agreement wins for what it covers.

The free contests

• Planning a contest is always free. Your Apple account's first 2 contests with data are free, across all of your teams. A contest counts once a score, a note, a photo or a running timer goes in, never when it is only planned.
• The count follows your Apple account: deleting a contest or a team, starting a new team or reinstalling the app does not give a free contest back.
• Free contests stay yours to view and compare, with or without a subscription.

Subscriptions and automatic renewal

• Turn-In BBQ offers two yearly subscriptions: Solo ($49.99 a year in the US) for one pitmaster, and Team ($79.99 a year in the US) for up to 6 people, who join free. Prices in other countries are shown in the App Store before you buy, and may include tax.
• A subscription belongs to the one team it was bought for. Another team needs its own. Apple allows one active subscription in this group per Apple account, so a second team's subscription is bought by another teammate.
• Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically each year at the same price unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before that.
• Manage or cancel it in your iPhone's Settings, your name, Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the current year stays active until it ends. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• If a subscription ends, nothing is deleted: that team's contests become view-only until it is renewed.
• Apple handles payment and refunds under its own terms (subscriptions are not shared through Family Sharing). To ask for a refund, use reportaproblem.apple.com. Restore Purchases in the app brings a subscription back on a new device.
• If we ever change a price, Apple tells you before it applies, as its rules require.

Teams and shared data

• A team's data lives in its captain's iCloud and is shared with the teammates the captain invites. Anyone on the team can see and add to it; only the captain or the pitmaster approves changes to a program.
• Only invite people you trust with your team's notes, programs and scores, and only add other people's names and voice notes with their agreement.
• Don't use the app to break the law, to harass anyone, or to tamper with the app or our servers.

The smart features

• For subscribed teams, notes, recipes, score sheets and debriefs are read and summarised by an AI model (Claude Haiku, by Anthropic) through our own server, as our Privacy Policy explains. Each team has a monthly allowance; when it is used up, the app keeps working with its on-device methods until the next month.
• AI can be wrong. Read what it suggests before you accept it: the app checks score arithmetic itself and highlights what it is unsure of, but you decide what goes into your records and programs.
• Forecasts, finish times, weather and insights are estimates, not promises. The weather comes from Apple's WeatherKit; thermometer readings come from your devices.

Cooking, contests and food safety

Turn-In BBQ is a planning and record-keeping tool. It does not replace your judgement, your thermometer, your sanctioning body's rules or your cooks' meeting. Always check the rules, turn-in times and windows for your contest, and follow safe food handling: cook to safe internal temperatures and hold hot food at 140°F or above. Alarms depend on your device, its settings and its battery; keep an eye on the clock yourself. Never use the app in a way that takes your attention from a fire or a hot pit.

Ours and yours

The app, its design, code, presets and the names Turn-In BBQ and Warped Technologies belong to us. Your team's data (plans, notes, recordings, photos, scores) belongs to you. Do not copy, resell or redistribute the app. KCBS, CBA, IBCA, MBN and SCA are the names of their sanctioning bodies; Turn-In BBQ is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them, and their rules can change, so the rules in your contest's packet always win.

No guarantees

We work hard to make Turn-In BBQ accurate and reliable, but the app, its smart features and this site are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. Features that use the internet, iCloud, Siri, WeatherKit or a thermometer maker's service depend on services we do not control, and may change or be unavailable at times.

Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (including a missed turn-in, a lost contest or prize money, spoiled food or lost data), and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the 12 months before the claim. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here takes away rights you have by law.

Changes

If these terms change, we will update this page and its date before the version of the app that needs the change is released. If you keep using the app after that, the new terms apply.
