NearFeast

Terms of Service

Welcome to NearFeast! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and mobile application ("App") as well as the services ("Services") we provide. By accessing or using NearFeast, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our website, App, or Services.

1. Use of the Website and App

NearFeast allows users to search for specific dishes, leave comments, and review dishes and restaurants. To ensure the authenticity of reviews, users must verify their phone numbers before submitting reviews. Additionally, users must log in and verify their email addresses or use a social network login to like, dislike, or save a dish/restaurant to favorites.

2. User Accounts

To use certain features of the website and App, you must create an account. When creating an account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account information and for all activities that occur under your account.

3. Data Collection and Privacy

We collect users' personal data, including email addresses and phone numbers. We do not share this information with third parties unless you explicitly consent to it. However, we may share aggregated statistics with third-party advertisement companies to deliver better-matching ads to our users. Please review our Privacy Policy for more details on how we handle your personal data.

4. Business Accounts

Any user can create a business account (e.g., for a restaurant) on NearFeast. However, the business listing will not be publicly visible until it goes through our address verification process. This process ensures the legitimacy of the business and its location.

To receive payments through NearFeast, you’ll need a Stripe account. Stripe ensures secure payments, deposits directly into your bank account, and handles verification. This setup also makes you the seller of record, so you maintain control and responsibility over taxes and food-related issues. NearFeast simply connects you with customers and charges a small platform fee.

5. Social Media Integration Disclaimer

NearFeast provides tools that allow you to connect your social media accounts (such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok) and publish your content directly from our platform. By using these features, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • You are solely responsible for the content you upload or publish via NearFeast, including any videos, captions, and linked materials.
  • You confirm that you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to share the content on the connected platforms.
  • NearFeast acts solely as a technology provider facilitating content sharing and does not claim ownership or editorial control over user-generated content.
  • You must comply with the terms and policies of each connected platform (e.g., Instagram’s Platform Policy or YouTube’s Terms of Service).
  • NearFeast is not liable for any account actions (such as takedowns, bans, or monetization changes) resulting from content shared through the platform.

If you do not agree with these terms, please refrain from using the social media integration features.

6. User Conduct

When using NearFeast, you agree to:

  1. Provide accurate and truthful information in your reviews and comments.
  2. Refrain from posting any content that is illegal, harmful, or violates the rights of others.
  3. Respect the privacy and personal information of other users.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account and access to our Services at our sole discretion, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms.

8. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall NearFeast or its affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the website, App, or Services.

9. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms on this page. Your continued use of the website, App, and Services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the new Terms.
