Kibo terms of use
Last updated: 13 October 2026
This is a translation for convenience. If the English and French versions differ, the French version applies.
1. What Kibo is
Kibo helps you choose your meals for the week, makes your shopping list with prices, fills your Leclerc Drive cart from a computer (with the "Kibo Drive" add-on), guides you while you cook, and tracks the money you save, your meals and, if you want, your weight.
Kibo is published by Alexandre Fievez, sole trader (see the legal notice). By using Kibo, you accept these terms. They are written simply on purpose: if a sentence is unclear, write to us (in the app: Settings → Help and info → "Write to Kibo").
2. Who can use Kibo
Kibo is made for people aged 15 and over. If you are under 15, don't use Kibo on your own: ask a parent to use it with you.
You can add the other people in your household (their first name, age, what they don't eat…). Only do so with their agreement, and for a child, as a parent or guardian.
3. Without an account or with one
Without an account, Kibo works on your device and everything stays there. If you change phones or clear your browser data, everything is lost: remember to export a backup (Settings → Backup).
With an account (free), your data is kept on Kibo's server so you find it on all your devices. Some features need an account: reminders, shared lists, barcode scanning, importing a recipe from a link, shared meal photos and Kibo Premium.
4. Your account and its security
- Your account is a username and a password you choose. Kibo asks for neither your email nor your phone number: don't use your full name or email as a username if you'd rather not.
- Keep your password to yourself. Also choose a backup password and write it down: with no email, it is the only way to recover your account if you forget your password. If you lose both, we cannot reopen your account for you.
- One account is one person. Don't pretend to be someone else.
- If you think someone is using your account, change your password and write to us right away.
- You can delete your account whenever you want: Settings → My account → Delete my account. Your data is then erased from the server (see privacy).
5. Free and Premium
Kibo is free. Kibo Premium, a subscription that unlocks extra features, is not on sale yet: when it is, the terms of sale will apply. The 14-day free trial and the months offered through referrals are already available, with no bank card.
6. What you share with others
Some things can be seen by others:
- Your meal photos: once sent, they are shown to no one until Kibo picks them. Once picked, your photo appears on the recipe for everyone, with your nickname.
- Your recipe ratings: no one sees your rating; only the average is shown, from 5 ratings.
- A shared link (your week, a recipe): anyone with the link can read it, even without Kibo.
- A shared shopping list: everyone with its code sees and edits it.
The rules
- Only send your own photos of your own dish. No faces, no recognisable people, no addresses, no text.
- Your nickname and what you share must not be insulting, hateful, shocking, advertising, illegal, or copied from someone else.
What you allow us to do
By sending a meal photo, you allow Kibo, free of charge, to crop it and show it in the app with your nickname, worldwide, for as long as it is online. Your photo stays yours. To remove it: on the recipe, "Send my photo of the dish", then "Remove my photo". It is erased at once, from the app and from the server (then from backups as they are replaced). Deleting your account removes it too.
Picking and removal
Kibo picks which photos to show and does not have to publish a photo you send. Kibo may remove at any time anything that breaks these rules, and change a nickname that breaks them. If you see something wrong, write to us in the app ("Write to Kibo") or to projectafievez500@gmail.com: we look quickly and remove anything unlawful.
7. Kibo is not medical advice
Calories, protein, portions, weight goals, pregnancy and breastfeeding guidelines, and food storage tips are general guidelines meant for healthy people. They do not replace a doctor, midwife or dietitian.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, ill, have an eating disorder, take a treatment, or follow a prescribed diet, ask a health professional before changing your diet or weight.
- For allergies, Kibo filters based on what you tell it and the information it has. It can be wrong (a badly filled ingredient, a changed recipe, a different product label): always read the label.
- Prices and nutrition values are estimates.
8. The "Kibo Drive" add-on and online grocery stores
- The add-on is installed in your browser (Chrome or Edge) and acts in your browser, on your Leclerc Drive account, only when you ask: it looks up the products on your list and adds to the cart the ones you confirmed.
- It never places the order and never pays. Check your cart before paying: you place the order yourself, with Leclerc Drive.
- Your order, its price, delivery or pickup are between you and your store: its own terms of sale and use apply. Kibo is not affiliated with E.Leclerc or other retailers.
- Prices shown in Kibo are indicative: only the price shown by your store when you pay counts.
- A store's website can change without notice: cart filling may then stop working for a while. We fix it as fast as we can, with no guaranteed delay.
9. What Kibo promises, and what it cannot
We do our best for Kibo to work well and all the time, and to keep your data safe. But Kibo can have outages, errors or interruptions (update, server or store problem).
Kibo is not responsible for:
- an order placed on a store without checking it;
- a gap between an estimated price and the price paid;
- what happens because a Kibo guideline was followed instead of medical advice, or a label was not read;
- data lost on a device with no account and no backup, or a password and backup password both lost.
Nothing in these terms removes the rights the law gives you as a consumer, nor Kibo's liability if it is at fault.
10. Suspending an account
If an account breaks these terms (forbidden content, cheating, trying to damage Kibo or to get into someone else's account, mass sending), Kibo may remove the content in question, then suspend or delete the account. Except in an emergency or a serious breach, we warn you first in the app and you can reply.
11. When these terms change
If we change these terms in an important way, Kibo tells you in the app at least 15 days before: a banner at the top of the app says what changes and from when. If you don't agree, you can stop using Kibo and delete your account, at no cost.
12. Applicable law and disputes
These terms are governed by French law. If there is a problem, write to us first: we look for a solution together. Otherwise, you can go to the competent court, in France or in the country where you live if you are in the European Union. For Kibo Premium, consumer mediation is explained in the terms of sale.
