These additional terms (the “Business Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the Store Management dashboard and related administrative tools made available at drinkslooker.com/business/store-management.html (the “Business Services”), through which business owners, store operators, and their authorized team members can create and manage store profiles, drinks menus, team access, customer reviews, analytics, and related data. The Business Terms supplement, and are in addition to, the foregoing Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between these Business Terms and the general Terms of Use with respect to your use of the Business Services, these Business Terms control. By accessing or using the Business Services, you agree to these Business Terms.

Authority to Bind the Business

If you access or use the Business Services on behalf of a Business, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act on behalf of, and to bind, that Business to these Terms of Use, and references to “you” in these Business Terms refer to both you individually and the Business. Your access to or use of the Business Services will be only in your capacity as an authorized representative of your Business. You are responsible for ensuring that the Business and all of its personnel comply with these Terms of Use. You will not use the consumer-facing Website for business-related activities, such as flagging reviews of, or messaging Users who have reviewed, your Business.

Eligibility

The Business Services are intended solely for legitimate businesses and their authorized representatives who are at least 21 years of age. You may create or claim a store profile only for a venue you own, operate, or are authorized to represent, and your Business must comply with applicable laws and must not offer, advertise, sell, or lease illegal products or services.

Account Roles and Team Access

The Store Management Dashboard uses role-based access controls, including the “Super Admin,” “Store Manager,” and “Regular User” roles, each with different permissions. You are responsible for: (i) assigning roles appropriately; (ii) maintaining the confidentiality of all account credentials; (iii) all activity that occurs under your account or the accounts of users you invite or to whom you grant access; and (iv) promptly removing access for individuals who are no longer authorized. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to manage access appropriately.

Your Store Content

You are solely responsible for all information, menus, pricing, hours, descriptions, logos, photographs, and other content you or your team submit through the Business Services (“Store Content”). You represent and warrant that your Store Content is accurate, current, and complete, that you own or have all necessary rights and licenses to the Store Content, and that the Store Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party. You grant the Company the license set out in the User Contributions section above with respect to your Store Content, including the right to display, distribute, and promote your Store Content across the Website and in advertising and marketing of the Website. You are responsible for keeping your Store Content accurate and up to date; the Company is under no obligation to verify or update it.

Company Use of Business Information

You agree that the Company may access and retrieve content and information about your Business from your website and other publicly available sources, and may reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display that content and information on the Website. You grant the Company a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to display your public website and its content on the Website, including through iframes or other framing technology.

Customer Reviews; Review Integrity

You understand and acknowledge that Users may post Content about your Business, including photographs, ratings, and reviews, and that such Content reflects the views of the Users who post it and not the Company. You agree that you will not, and will not authorize or induce any other party to: (i) write, post, or vote on reviews or other Content for your own Business or a competitor’s Business; (ii) solicit or ask your customers for reviews; (iii) offer or provide any incentive, such as discounts, freebies, refunds, gift cards, or contest entries, in exchange for posting, modifying, refraining from posting, or removing a review; (iv) pay or induce anyone to post, modify, refrain from posting, or remove reviews; (v) submit any fake, fraudulent, or misleading review, or attempt to suppress, alter, or remove genuine reviews; or (vi) otherwise attempt to manipulate ratings, reviews, search results, or any ranking or recommendation system.

Ranking and Recommendation; Advertising Does Not Affect Reviews

You understand and acknowledge that the Company may use automated software, algorithms, and other technologies to determine whether, where, and how venues, listings, ratings, and reviews are displayed or ranked, and that such systems may sometimes display, suppress, or fail to detect particular reviews. You understand and acknowledge that any purchase of advertising or other paid features from the Company does not and will not influence these ranking or recommendation systems, or otherwise allow or enable you, directly or indirectly, to alter reviews or affect whether, where, or how reviews or ratings appear on the Website. The Company retains sole discretion over the display, moderation, ranking, and removal of reviews and other Content and does not guarantee the display or removal of any particular review.

Prohibited Reviews and Anti-Gag Acknowledgment

You understand and acknowledge that non-disparagement or “gag” clauses in consumer contracts that seek to restrict or penalize consumers for posting reviews are prohibited under the federal Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. § 45b) and similar state laws. You agree that you will not include such clauses in your consumer contracts and will not attempt to enforce any such clause against a consumer under any circumstances, whether or not it is barred under applicable law. You understand that the Company may publicly notify consumers about any attempt to use or enforce such a clause or to otherwise obtain, prevent, modify, or remove reviews through prohibited means.

Compliance and Licensing

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Business Services and the operation of your venue comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements, including those governing the sale, service, advertising, and promotion of alcoholic beverages and the legal drinking age. You represent and warrant that you hold all licenses and permits required to operate your venue and to sell or serve any products listed in your Store Content. The Company does not sell, serve, or furnish alcohol and is not responsible for your compliance.

Promotions

If you use the Business Services to communicate or administer a promotion of any kind, you are solely responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including compliance with all applicable laws and platform rules, and you do so at your own risk.

Advertising Integrity

You agree that you will not attempt to generate automated, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid ad impressions, inquiries, conversions, ad clicks, or other actions, or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of any advertising or paid features offered through the Business Services.

Business Communications

You agree that we may contact you, including by telephone or email, using the contact information you provide, make publicly available, or that we have on record for your Business, and that our communications with you may be monitored and recorded for legal, training, and quality purposes.

Analytics and Data Export

The Business Services may provide analytics, reporting, and data export features. Any analytics, metrics, or other data provided through the Business Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for your internal business use only, may be estimated or incomplete, and should not be solely relied upon. You must handle any exported data in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy, and you must not use it to identify, contact, or market to individual Users except as permitted by law and these Terms of Use.

Account and Store Deletion

The Store Management Dashboard includes a two-step protected deletion process for stores and related data. You acknowledge that deletion is permanent and irreversible and that, once confirmed, deleted stores, content, and associated data cannot be recovered. You are responsible for exporting or retaining any data you wish to keep before deletion. The Company is not liable for any loss resulting from deletion initiated through your account.

Fees

[The Business Services are currently provided free of charge; however, we reserve the right to introduce fees or paid features upon notice. If fees apply, they will be governed by separate ordering terms or a subscription agreement incorporated into these Terms of Use, which will control in the event of any conflict with these Business Terms.]

Suspension and Termination

In addition to our rights set out elsewhere in these Terms of Use, we may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Business Services, remove or unpublish your store profile or Store Content, and reassign or revoke roles, at any time and in our sole discretion, including if we believe you have violated these Terms of Use or applicable law, or if your Store Content is inaccurate, misleading, or creates risk for the Company or its Users.

No Endorsement

Listing a venue or store on the Website, or making it available through the Business Services, does not constitute an endorsement, certification, or recommendation by the Company of the venue or its products.

Indemnification by Business

In addition to the indemnification obligations set out below, you and the Business agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your Store Content, your use of the Business Services, your management of team access, your products or services or the marketing or provision thereof, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.

24. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND THE COMPANY TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, you and the Company agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send a written notice describing the claim and the relief sought to the other party (to the Company at [email protected]). You and the Company will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for sixty (60) days after notice is received. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may commence arbitration.

Agreement to Arbitrate. You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your access to or use of the Website, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, except as expressly provided below. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and applies to claims that arose before, on, or after the date you accepted these Terms of Use, and survives termination of these Terms of Use.

Arbitration Rules and Forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for disputes arising from a Business Account, its Commercial Arbitration Rules) in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, as modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat and location of the arbitration will be Orlando, Orange County, Florida, although the parties may agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, video, or written submissions, and any in-person hearing will be held in Orlando, Florida unless the parties agree otherwise. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable, and to determine whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator may award, on an individual basis, any relief that a court could award under applicable law, subject to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation on Liability sections above. The arbitrator’s award will be in writing and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action and Collective Relief Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. IF THIS CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM, THAT CLAIM, AND ONLY THAT CLAIM, WILL BE SEVERED AND BROUGHT IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.

Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE THAT, FOR ANY REASON, PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may: (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court; and (ii) bring an action in court to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights or to address unauthorized access to, or misuse of, the Website. Such claims are not subject to the agreement to arbitrate, but remain subject to the class-action and jury-trial waivers above to the extent permitted by law.

Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms of Use. Your notice must include your name and the email address associated with your Account. If you opt out, neither you nor the Company will be required to arbitrate, and the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section below will govern. Opting out of arbitration has no effect on any other provision of these Terms of Use.

Changes to This Section. If the Company makes any material change to this section after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use, you may reject the change by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the change, in which case the most recent version of this section before the change will apply.

All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration as set out above, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website will be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the City of Orlando and County of Orange, Florida, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country or state of residence or any other relevant jurisdiction.

28. General Terms

We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Website at our sole discretion, at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or liability.

These Terms of Use do not, and are not intended to, confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and the Company, except that the Company’s affiliates, licensors, service providers, and the other parties identified in the Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation on Liability sections are intended third-party beneficiaries of those sections.

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use is deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in a writing signed by the Company.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision is eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use continue in full force and effect.

These Terms of Use, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you in violation of this provision is void.

No joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship exists between you and the Company as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website. The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
