3. THE PLATFORM — NATURE OF SERVICE

3.1 What MenuMeat Provides MenuMeat operates as a restaurant menu discovery and comparison platform. The Platform enables restaurant owners and authorized representatives to create and manage restaurant listing pages, upload menus, add dish descriptions and photographs, and publish business information. The Platform also enables diners and general users to browse restaurant listings, read menus, view dish content, and submit customer reviews.

3.2 User-Generated and User-Uploaded Content The content available on MenuMeat — including but not limited to restaurant menus, dish names, menu prices, food photographs, restaurant descriptions, operating hours, location information, and customer reviews — is uploaded, submitted, and managed by users of the Platform, including restaurant owners, their authorized representatives, and members of the dining community.

MenuMeat does not independently create, verify for completeness, or guarantee the accuracy of user-uploaded content. The Platform provides the infrastructure for content to be published and accessed. Responsibility for the accuracy, currency, and legality of uploaded content rests with the user who submitted it.

3.3 No Endorsement The presence of any restaurant, dish, menu item, or business on MenuMeat does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee by MenuMeat. Listings reflect information provided by users and restaurant operators. MenuMeat makes no representation as to the quality, safety, suitability, or availability of any restaurant or food item listed on the Platform.

3.4 Platform Availability MenuMeat does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to the Platform. The service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control. MenuMeat is not liable for any loss or inconvenience resulting from Platform downtime or unavailability.

4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY — RESTAURANT NAMES, BRANDS, AND LOCATIONS

4.1 Ownership of Restaurant Names and Brands All restaurant names, business names, brand names, logos, trademarks, service marks, and trade dress displayed on MenuMeat are the property of their respective owners. The appearance of any restaurant name or brand identifier on the Platform does not transfer, assign, or grant any ownership interest in that name or brand to MenuMeat or to any user of the Platform.

MenuMeat makes no claim of ownership over any restaurant name, hospitality brand, franchise identifier, or associated intellectual property listed in any restaurant profile on the Platform.

4.2 Location Names and Geographic Identifiers City names, neighborhood names, district names, geographic identifiers, and place names referenced on MenuMeat are the common descriptors of real-world locations. They belong to the public domain or to their respective governing authorities and communities. MenuMeat uses location names solely for the purpose of organizing and presenting restaurant listings geographically. No proprietary claim is made over any location name or geographic identifier used on the Platform.

4.3 Menu Content Uploaded by Restaurants Menus, dish names, descriptions, and pricing information uploaded by restaurant owners or their authorized representatives remain the intellectual property of the restaurant or its owners, subject to any licensing arrangements that apply. By uploading menu content to MenuMeat, the uploader grants MenuMeat a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to display, reproduce, and distribute that content on the Platform for the purpose of providing the menu discovery service.

This license does not transfer ownership of the content. The restaurant retains full ownership of its menu, branding, and associated materials.

4.4 Photographs and Visual Content Photographs uploaded to MenuMeat by restaurant owners, staff, or diners must be original work owned by the uploader, or material for which the uploader holds a valid license to publish. By uploading photographs to the Platform, the uploader grants MenuMeat a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display that content on the relevant restaurant listing page.

MenuMeat does not claim ownership of uploaded photographs. Uploaders retain copyright in their original photographic work.

4.5 MenuMeat Platform Intellectual Property The MenuMeat name, logo, site design, user interface, original written content, and proprietary software are owned by MenuMeat and protected by applicable intellectual property law. Nothing in these Terms grants any user a license to use MenuMeat’s own branding, design assets, or platform code outside of normal use of the Platform.

5. USER ACCOUNTS

5.1 Account Creation Certain features of MenuMeat — including creating a restaurant listing, submitting a verified customer review, or claiming an existing restaurant page — require the creation of a user account. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when registering and to keep that information updated.

5.2 Account Security You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, you must notify MenuMeat promptly via the contact form on the Platform.

5.3 One Account Per User Each individual or business entity may maintain one active account on MenuMeat. The creation of multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, manipulate review systems, or misrepresent the volume of customer activity is prohibited and may result in permanent suspension of all associated accounts.

5.4 Account Termination MenuMeat reserves the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates these Terms, engages in fraudulent activity, submits false information, or otherwise causes harm to the Platform, to other users, or to restaurant businesses listed on the Platform.

6. USER-UPLOADED CONTENT — RULES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

6.1 Your Responsibility for Uploaded Content Any content you upload, submit, or publish on MenuMeat — including menus, dish descriptions, photographs, reviews, business information, or any other material — is your responsibility. By uploading content, you represent and warrant that:

— You own the content or hold all necessary rights and permissions to publish it on MenuMeat. — The content is accurate to the best of your knowledge at the time of submission. — The content does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights of any third party. — The content does not violate any applicable law or regulation. — The content does not contain false, misleading, defamatory, or fraudulent information.

6.2 Menu Accuracy Restaurant owners and their authorized representatives who upload menu content to MenuMeat are responsible for ensuring that menu information — including dish names, descriptions, prices, and availability — is accurate and kept current. MenuMeat is not liable for any loss, disappointment, or dispute arising from outdated, incomplete, or incorrect menu information uploaded by a restaurant operator.

Diners who rely on menu information displayed on MenuMeat are advised to confirm current pricing and availability directly with the restaurant before visiting, particularly for time-sensitive items such as daily specials or seasonal menus.

6.3 Customer Reviews and Verified Experiences Users who submit customer reviews on MenuMeat confirm that the review reflects a genuine, personal dining experience at the named restaurant. Submitting a review for a restaurant you have not visited, submitting reviews on behalf of other people, submitting reviews in exchange for compensation, or submitting reviews intended to harm a competitor’s reputation are all prohibited and constitute grounds for immediate account suspension.

MenuMeat operates a verification process to distinguish genuine customer experiences from fraudulent submissions. The platform reserves the right to remove any review that fails verification standards or that is reported and found to violate these Terms, without prior notice to the submitter.

6.4 Prohibited Content The following types of content are prohibited on MenuMeat under all circumstances:

— Content that is defamatory, deliberately false, or maliciously misleading about a restaurant, business, or individual. — Content that infringes the trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property of any third party. — Content that contains personal attacks, harassment, or targeted abuse directed at restaurant staff, owners, or other users. — Content that contains personal data of individuals without their knowledge or consent. — Spam, duplicate submissions, or automated content generated for the purpose of manipulating the platform’s ranking or review systems. — Content that promotes illegal activity or that violates any applicable law.

MenuMeat reserves the right to remove prohibited content at any time and without prior notice.

6.5 Content Moderation MenuMeat does not review every piece of content uploaded to the Platform before it is published. The Platform relies on a combination of community reporting, automated detection, and periodic manual review to identify content that violates these Terms. If you encounter content that you believe violates these Terms, use the contact form to report it. We will investigate and take appropriate action.

7. RESTAURANT LISTINGS — SPECIFIC TERMS

7.1 Claiming a Listing If a restaurant listing exists on MenuMeat and you are the owner or authorized manager of that restaurant, you may claim the listing through the contact process described on the Platform. Claimed listings are subject to an ownership verification process. Until verification is complete, MenuMeat will not transfer editorial control of the listing.

7.2 Accuracy of Business Information Restaurant operators who manage a listing on MenuMeat are responsible for ensuring that all business information — including address, operating hours, contact details, menu content, and pricing — is accurate and current. MenuMeat is not responsible for errors in business information that result from failure to update a listing.

7.3 Listing Removal Restaurant operators may request removal of their listing from MenuMeat at any time by contacting us through the contact form. Removal requests from verified listing owners are processed within a reasonable timeframe. MenuMeat reserves the right to retain anonymized, non-identifying data from removed listings for platform analytics purposes.

7.4 Third-Party Listings Some restaurant listings on MenuMeat may have been created by diners or community members rather than by the restaurant itself. These listings are created in good faith for the purpose of sharing menu information. If you are a restaurant owner and wish to claim, correct, or remove a listing created by a third party, contact MenuMeat through the contact form. We will work with you to resolve the situation promptly.

8. DISCLAIMERS

Always verify information directly with the restaurant before making a dining decision based on content displayed on MenuMeat.

8.2 No Professional Advice Nothing on MenuMeat constitutes professional nutritional, dietary, allergen, or medical advice. Information about dishes and ingredients on the Platform is provided by restaurant operators and has not been independently verified.

12. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTES

12.1 Governing Law These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law.

Users accessing the Platform from other jurisdictions do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws to the extent they apply.

12.2 Dispute Resolution In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Platform, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith communication.

13.2 Severability If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed from these Terms if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

13.3 No Waiver MenuMeat’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. A waiver is only effective if made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of MenuMeat.
