Terms of Service

You must be at least 18 and legally able to agree to these Terms to create or use an account. Provide accurate information, secure your credentials, and promptly report suspected unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account.

Do not use the Services to break the law; threaten, harass, impersonate, defraud, or exploit others; publish illegal, hateful, sexually exploitative, graphic, or rights-infringing material; manipulate engagement; scrape data without permission; bypass privacy, moderation, rate limits, or security controls; introduce malware; or interfere with the Services.

You retain ownership of content you submit, including videos, audio, photos, captions, comments, profile information, check-ins, location submissions, and suggestions. You represent that you have the necessary rights—including music, image, privacy, and publicity rights—and that your content complies with law and these Terms.

You grant WhattaEat a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, transcode, technically adapt, create thumbnails from, distribute, display, perform, and promote your content as needed to operate, improve, market, and provide the Services. The license ends when content is deleted from our systems, except where copies must remain for legal, safety, backup, or content involving others.

We may review, restrict, reject, remove, preserve, or report content and limit, suspend, or terminate accounts when we reasonably believe law, safety, these Terms, or platform integrity require it. Users can report and block accounts or content. We cannot guarantee all objectionable content will be identified immediately.

Public content may be viewed and shared by anyone, including through public web pages. Private-account and social-map settings limit certain visibility but cannot control copies already made by others. Never publish another person’s sensitive or precise location without permission.

Location details, hours, menu information, dietary labels, distances, directions, and business status may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate. Confirm important information directly with the location. WhattaEat does not provide medical, allergy, nutritional, or food-safety advice. A check-in is not proof of identity, purchase, or endorsement.

Pages may contain information submitted by users, managers, public sources, or WhattaEat. Managers must be authorized and keep information accurate. We may verify, deny, revoke, or reassign management access to protect the rightful organization.

Referral codes and attributed links help us understand invitations and may support future programs. Unless a specific written promotion says otherwise, invitations do not create a right to payment, rewards, ownership, or compensation. Do not send unsolicited or misleading invitations.

The Services may link to maps, websites, app stores, social networks, and other third parties. Their own terms apply. The WhattaEat name, logos, software, designs, and service materials are owned by or licensed to WhattaEat. We grant only a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to use the Services as intended.

To report alleged infringement, email contact@whattaeat.com with the copyrighted work, the content and its location, your contact details, good-faith and accuracy statements, proof of authority, and your signature.

Delete your account through Settings → Account & Security → Delete Account or our account deletion page. Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of merchantability, fitness, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, or uninterrupted operation. WhattaEat and its affiliates and providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profits, lost data, or business interruption. Nothing excludes liability or statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless WhattaEat and its affiliates from claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your content, misuse of the Services, or violation of these Terms or another person’s rights.

These Terms are governed by California law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Nothing limits rights that cannot lawfully be waived. We may update these Terms and will provide notice of material changes as appropriate.
