Having a public and accessible menu is important for both the consumer and the vendor as it creates a level of expectation between the two parties and acts as an agreement — a social contract. In some jurisdictions, having a menu with set prices is required by local law and can function as a legal document. Restaurants without a menu, or who have an outdated or old menu on MenuGuide, can be considered to be in violation of MenuGuide's Terms of Use. Since menus vary, MenuGuide is the sole judge of what constitutes a valid menu on our site and is also the sole arbiter of what constitutes a violation of our Terms of Use in regards to menus. At the sole discretion of MenuGuide, violators may have language placed on their MenuGuide page reflecting that the restaurant is not abiding by our Terms of Use and that MenuGuide is unable to recommend that restaurant.
The Site may contain advertisements and/or sponsorships. The advertisers and/or sponsors that provide these advertisements and sponsorships are solely responsible for ensuring that the materials submitted for inclusion on the Site are accurate and comply with all applicable laws. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of any advertiser or sponsor.
The Site contains links to sites operated by third parties throughout the World Wide Web. MenuGuide has no control over these sites or the content within them. We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that the content contained in any third-party sites is accurate, legal, and/or inoffensive. We do not endorse the content of any third-party site, nor do we make any representation or warranty about these sites, including that they will not contain viruses or otherwise impact your computer. By using the Site to search for or link to another site, you agree and understand that you may not make any claim against MenuGuide for any damages or losses resulting from your use of the Site to obtain search results or to link to another site. If you have a problem with a link from the Site, you may notify us at menu@MenuGuide.com.
If you are notifying MenuGuide of alleged copyright infringement, please provide the following information as required by 17 U.S.C.A. § 512:
YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL MATERIALS, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES INCLUDED IN OR AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SITE (THE "WEBSITE CONTENT") ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" FOR YOUR USE. THE WEBSITE CONTENT IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER MENUGUIDE, NOR OUR SUBSIDIARIES OR LICENSORS, MAKE ANY WARRANTY THAT THE WEBSITE CONTENT IS ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR CORRECT; THAT THE SITE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; THAT ANY DEFECTS OR ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE WEBSITE CONTENT IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL MENUGUIDE, OUR SUBSIDIARIES, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE OR FROM INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE. THIS LIMITATION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OUR LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold MenuGuide and our subsidiaries and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, officers, and directors harmless from all liabilities, claims (including but not limited to the actions specified in Paragraph 4 above), and expenses (including attorney's fees) that arise from your use or misuse of the Site or the content therein. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
This Agreement shall, for all domestic and international purposes, be governed, interpreted, construed, and enforced solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of law provisions. You expressly agree that the exclusive jurisdiction for any claim or action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site shall be filed only in one of the following judicial jurisdictions: Tompkins County Superior Court of New York, or The United States District Court for the Northern District of New York, Syracuse.
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between MenuGuide and you with respect to the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals between us with respect to the Site. If any provision of these Terms of Use is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Section titles in the Terms of Use are for convenience and do not define, limit, or extend any provision of the Terms of Use.
