Terms of Service

Acceptance and eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create an account. You need an account to place orders.

By using a5foodies you confirm the information you provide is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.

The service

a5foodies is a platform for discovering, rating, and ordering food from restaurants in Palm Beach County. We help you find highly rated dishes, restaurants, and servers, and we connect you with restaurants for pickup and delivery orders.

a5foodies is not a restaurant, food preparer, or delivery carrier. Food is prepared by the restaurant you order from, and delivery is fulfilled by the restaurant or a third-party delivery provider.

Your account

Keep your login credentials secure and do not share them. You are responsible for activity on your account. One account per person.

You may reset your password at any time and you may request deletion of your account from within the app.

Orders and payments

When you place an order you are making an offer that the restaurant may accept or decline. Prices, taxes, tips, and any delivery fee are shown before you confirm.

Payments are processed by our payment processor, Stripe. a5foodies does not store your full card details.

Menu availability, pricing, and item descriptions are provided by the restaurant and may change. An order may be canceled or refunded in line with the order lifecycle described below.

Delivery

Delivery, where offered, is fulfilled by the restaurant or by a third-party delivery provider. Delivery time estimates are estimates, not guarantees.

You are responsible for providing an accurate delivery address and contact phone number. Delivery is available only within supported coverage areas.

Cancellations and refunds

Before a restaurant accepts your order you may cancel it. Once an order has been paid and is in progress, cancellation and any refund follow the order status: an order that is canceled after payment is refunded to your original payment method.

A completed order is final except where a dispute or a refund is warranted and permitted by law.

Ratings, photos, and messages

You are responsible for the ratings, photos, and messages you post. Do not post content that is false, defamatory, unlawful, or that infringes the rights of others.

By posting content you grant a5foodies a non-exclusive license to display it within the service. The rating rubric and scoring belong to the platform.

Restaurant operators

Operators must verify their connection to a restaurant before managing it. Operators are responsible for the accuracy of their menus, prices, availability, and for compliance with all food-safety and allergen-disclosure laws that apply to them.

Prohibited conduct

Do not commit fraud, scrape or reverse-engineer the service, harass other users, or post fake or manipulated ratings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Disclaimers and limitation of liability

a5foodies provides information supplied by restaurants on an "as is" basis. We do not independently verify the accuracy of allergen, ingredient, or nutritional information. If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, confirm directly with the restaurant before ordering.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, a5foodies is not liable for foodborne illness, allergic reactions, or the outcome of any delivery. Our aggregate liability is limited to the amount you paid for the order giving rise to the claim.

Indemnification, governing law, and changes

You agree to indemnify a5foodies against claims arising from your misuse of the service or your violation of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected in the last-updated date above, and continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms.

Questions about these terms can be sent to [legal contact email, owner to confirm].
