Welcome to Ode to Oakleaf ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using our website at odetooakleaf.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What We Offer

Ode to Oakleaf is a food and lifestyle blog featuring recipes, cooking guides, music, and digital products. We sell digital products (such as PDF guides) through Ko-fi, with payments processed by Stripe.

Use of Our Content

All content on this site — including recipes, text, images, music, and digital products — is owned by Ode to Oakleaf unless otherwise noted. You may:

  • View and use recipes for personal, non-commercial purposes
  • Share links to our content

You may not:

  • Copy recipes or guides and post them on other websites
  • Use our content for commercial purposes without written permission
  • Resell or redistribute digital products you've purchased

Digital Products

We put real time and heart into every guide we make — they're born from actual kitchen experience, not templates. Because our digital products are delivered instantly and cannot be returned, all sales are final. We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations on digital purchases, no exceptions.

If you run into a technical issue accessing your download or believe a duplicate charge was made, reach out to us at [email protected] and we'll do our best to help.

By completing a purchase, you acknowledge and agree to this policy. You receive a personal, non-transferable license to use purchased products. Sharing, reselling, or distributing purchased digital products is prohibited.
