Terms of Use - Nearby-Res

Last Updated: September 19, 2025

Thank you for choosing Nearby-Res! These Terms of Service ("Terms") outline the rules and guidelines for accessing and using our website, platform, tools, and any associated apps (collectively, the "Services"). By signing up, logging in, or engaging with our Services—whether you're crafting a custom restaurant site or managing your dashboard—you're agreeing to these Terms in full, along with any updates we make down the line. If anything here doesn't sit right with you, we get it—just step away from the Services. We might tweak these Terms as our platform evolves, and by sticking around after changes, you're on board with them. Check back often to stay in the loop.

1. Agreement to These Terms

Hitting that sign-up button, exploring our drag-and-drop builder, or diving into any part of the Services means you've got these Terms locked in. They're the legal backbone of our relationship: you (the "User" or "you") and Nearby-Res (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our"). If you're here representing a restaurant or business, you're vouching that you've got the green light to tie them to this deal.

2. Who Can Join and Setting Up Your Account

Unlocking the full magic—like whipping up a mobile-ready menu page or syncing reservations—starts with creating an account. Be upfront with your details: think restaurant name, contact info, and all that good stuff. It's on you to guard your login like a secret recipe, and if anything fishy pops up with your account, ping us ASAP at contact.nearby.res@gmail.com.

You've got to be 18 or older (or whatever the legal age is where you are) to play. Signing up is your promise that you're eligible and that everything you do here lines up with the law.

3. How to Play Nice: Your Responsibilities

We're all about building awesome restaurant stories together, so let's keep it smooth. As a User, you're committing to:

  • Keep It Real: Load up your site with true-to-life stuff—think spot-on menus, vibrant dish pics, and honest vibes about your spot. No faking it, no smoke and mirrors.
  • Be Kind Out There: Whether it's sharing a review snippet or chatting in integrated feeds, keep things positive—no trash-talk, no hate, no drama.
  • Stay Legal: Roll with every rule in your neck of the woods, from privacy regs to business basics.
  • Hands Off the Bad Stuff: Steer clear of:
    • Sneaky bots or scrapers hoovering up our data.
    • Messing with the works—viruses, hacks, or anything that clogs the pipes.
    • Anything shady, spammy, or straight-up unlawful.

We keep an eye on things to make sure everyone's having a good time, and we can pull content or pause accounts if needed.

4. Your Stuff, Our Platform: Content and Rights

Our builder lets you pour your restaurant's personality into templates, galleries, and more. When you add your touches ("Your Content"), here's the deal:

  • Yours to Own, Ours to Host: Your creations stay yours, but you're handing us a broad, no-cost pass to showcase, tweak, and share them to keep the Services humming. That might mean partnering with hosts or SEO pros to get your site shining.
  • No-Go Zone for Content: Skip the sketchy—nothing fake, hurtful, or rule-breaking. We'll zap it if it slips through.
  • What We Bring: Our themes, tools, and the whole Nearby-Res vibe? That's our IP treasure chest. You're welcome to borrow it for your site, but it's not yours to run off with.
  • Outside Links and Add-Ons: We link to booking apps or social streams sometimes. Cool as they are, they're not our circus—jump in at your own adventure.

5. No Promises, But We're Trying: Liability Caps

We pour heart into Nearby-Res, but it's served "as-is"—no fancy guarantees on zero glitches, 24/7 uptime, or perfect fits for every gadget. Your Content and outside tools? We trust you to handle 'em wisely.

That said, we're not on the hook for big oops moments. To the max the law allows, we (and our team) dodge claims for fallout like:

  • Dropped bookings, lost tips, or business hiccups.
  • Tech snags or content curveballs.
  • Ripple effects from user shares or partner plays.

If something goes sideways, our max payout? What you shelled out to us in the last year.

6. Got Your Back: Holding Harmless

If your moves stir up trouble—like a content clash or rule bend—you've got our six: cover our costs, from lawyer tabs to fixes, for Nearby-Res, our crew, and partners.

7. Your Data, Our Care: Privacy Tie-In

These Terms dance with our Privacy Policy, spilling how we handle your info with respect. Using the Services? You're cool with it—peek at the details here.

8. When It's Time to Wrap: Ending Access

We can hit pause or call it quits on your access anytime—no notice needed—if things go off the rails, like rule breaks or sketchy vibes. Once it's over, poof—account and content might vanish, no take-backs. But the bits that matter (like these lasting clauses) stick around.

9. Sorting Squabbles: Law and Fixes

[Your Jurisdiction, e.g., California, USA] laws call the shots here, no fancy twists. Disputes? Head to courts in [e.g., San Francisco]. Chat us up first at contact.nearby.res@gmail.com for a friendly fix—arbitration might be our jam for some dust-ups.

10. Tweaks on the Horizon: Updates

We evolve, so Terms might too—new version drops on the site, and you're in if you keep using. We'll flag big shifts via email or nudge.
