• Personal Printing: You may print a single copy of any recipe or article for personal, non‑commercial use (e.g., a kitchen reference sheet). Printed copies must not be reproduced, sold, or distributed to third parties.

• Using mumfoodcorner’s branding, logos, or design elements in a way that suggests endorsement, affiliation, or partnership without explicit consent.
