Terms of use

Who may use Zest

Zest is meant for people aged 16 and over. It is not directed at children. If you are younger, please ask a parent or guardian before using it, and do not send us personal data through the contact form.

What Zest is

Zest is a meta search engine. Results, images, videos, songs, news and other material come from third parties and belong to them. Zest does not host that material and does not check it. Where results can be adult or sensitive, SafeSearch is on at its moderate level by default; you can change it in Settings.

AI assistant

Answers in the AI tab are generated by a language model and can be wrong, outdated or biased. They are not advice (legal, medical, financial or otherwise). Check important facts against the sources shown.

Not allowed

• automated bulk queries or scraping of Zest beyond reasonable personal use,
• attempts to break, overload or bypass the protections of the service,
• using Zest to infringe other people's rights or to break the law.

I may block abusive use without notice.

Ads

Ads are labelled as such and can be turned off in Settings. See About for the rules they follow.

Liability

Zest is provided as it is, without guarantee that it is always available or that results are complete or correct. Liability for slight negligence is excluded, except for injury to life, body or health, breach of essential contractual duties, and cases required by mandatory law.

Reporting problems

Illegal content, wrong ads, copyright concerns: use the contact form or write to hi@taymaerz.de. See also the Impressum and the privacy policy.

Stand: October 2026. German law applies where mandatory consumer law does not provide otherwise.
