Overview

Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Foodly, including the Foodly website, mobile application and related beta prototype services.

By accessing or using Foodly, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use Foodly.

Foodly is currently a beta prototype. Features may change, break, be limited or be removed as the product is developed.

Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use Foodly. If you are under 18, you should use Foodly only with the involvement of a parent or guardian where required by law.

You must not use Foodly if you are prohibited from using the service under applicable law.

Accounts and Security

Some Foodly features require an account. You are responsible for the information you provide, maintaining the security of your account and any activity that occurs through your account.

  • Provide accurate account and profile information.
  • Keep your login credentials secure.
  • Do not access another person's account without permission.
  • Notify Foodly if you believe your account has been compromised.

Service and Content

The Foodly Service

Foodly helps users save restaurant links, match social-media posts to restaurants, organise saved places into collections, discover restaurants on a map and share selected collections with others.

Foodly may use third-party services to process submitted links, extract restaurant context, retrieve place information, display maps and provide search or recommendation features.

Restaurant details, ratings, opening hours, locations, source posts and summaries may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate or generated from third-party information. You should verify important restaurant information directly with the restaurant or original source before relying on it.

User Content

Foodly may allow you to create, upload, submit, save, publish or share content, including profiles, usernames, bios, avatars, collections, notes, comments, reviews, ratings, hypes, follows, submitted links and other restaurant-related information.

You keep ownership of content you own. By submitting content to Foodly, you grant Foodly a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, display, modify for formatting or technical purposes, distribute and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, improve and provide Foodly.

If you make content public, you also allow Foodly to display that content to other users and visitors and to use it in public discovery, search, profile, map and collection experiences.

Your Content Responsibilities

You are responsible for the content you submit to Foodly and for ensuring you have the rights needed to submit or share it.

  • Do not submit sexual content, child exploitation material, graphic violence or content that encourages self-harm.
  • Do not submit content that is unlawful, misleading, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, abusive, invasive of privacy or otherwise harmful.
  • Do not submit content that infringes another person's intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights.
  • Do not submit spam, scams, malware, automated abuse or attempts to manipulate rankings, hypes, reviews or discovery.
  • Do not impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with a person, restaurant, brand or organisation.
  • Do not use Foodly to collect information about other users without permission.

Third-Party Content and Services

Foodly may display, link to or process content from third-party services such as TikTok, Instagram, Google Places, map providers and restaurant websites. Third-party content and services are not controlled by Foodly and may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.

Foodly does not claim ownership of third-party creator content. Where Foodly displays or links to third-party content, that content remains the responsibility of the original source or rights holder.

Platform Rules

Acceptable Use

You must use Foodly lawfully and respectfully.

  • Do not interfere with, disrupt, scrape, overload, reverse engineer or attempt to gain unauthorised access to Foodly or its systems.
  • Do not bypass rate limits, security controls, access controls or account restrictions.
  • Do not use automated systems to create accounts, submit content, manipulate engagement or extract data without written permission.
  • Do not use Foodly in a way that could harm users, restaurants, creators, Foodly or third-party services.
  • Do not use Foodly for unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive activity.

Moderation and Content Reports

You can block users from a content or profile menu and manage blocked users in Settings. While signed in, blocking hides each other's profiles, collections and reviews and pauses collection sharing and access between you. It does not remove access for other collaborators or prevent viewing public content while signed out. Unblocking restores visibility and any existing sharing permissions.

Foodly uses text filtering and moderator review to address objectionable content. We review reports and may restrict content or accounts. These safeguards may not detect every violation. Do not use reports to harass others or submit deliberately false complaints.

Foodly may remove, limit, hide or refuse to display content, suspend accounts or take other reasonable action if we believe these Terms have been breached, content creates risk for users or the public, or action is needed to operate Foodly safely.

Use the in-app report option on collections, profiles, reviews or source posts to report harmful content. Reports are private to authorised moderators. Foodly records the report and a snapshot of the content and may send these details to its moderation inbox for review. You can also contact p84projectfoodly@gmail.com for support or to appeal a moderation decision.

Privacy

Foodly's Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information. By using Foodly, you acknowledge that Foodly will handle information as described in the Privacy Policy.

Beta and Account

Beta Prototype Availability

Foodly is provided as a beta prototype and may be unavailable, incomplete or contain bugs. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of Foodly at any time.

Foodly is not responsible for decisions you make based on restaurant information, social-media content, generated summaries, rankings, ratings, maps or recommendations shown in the service.

Fees

Foodly is currently offered as a beta prototype without published consumer pricing. If paid features are introduced, Foodly will provide pricing and payment terms before charging users.

Account Deletion and Termination

You may delete your account through the account settings area where available. Foodly may suspend or terminate access if you breach these Terms, create risk, misuse the service or if continued access would expose Foodly or others to legal, security or operational risk.

After account deletion or termination, some provisions of these Terms continue where their nature requires it, including provisions relating to user content already shared publicly, third-party content, disclaimers, limitations of liability and dispute terms.
