TERMS OF SERVICE

 

Welcome and thank you for your interest in EAT APPLICATION DMCC ("Eat App DMCC"). Eat App facilitates the creation and management of online reservations with restaurants and other hospitality locations (each, a “Location”) through its website, www.eatapp.co (the “Site”), mobile applications, widgets that integrate with Location websites or third parties that provide reservation management or related services, and other websites owned and operated by Eat App (collectively, the "Service"). Certain aspects of the Service are only available to Locations and their authorized representatives (“Registered Users”), and any reference in this terms of service to Registered Users only apply to such users and Locations. Access to the Service by Registered Users is governed by separate agreements between Eat App and each such Location. These Terms apply to visitors to the Site and use of the Services, whether directly or indirectly, by individuals making reservations with Locations (each, a “Guest” or “you” and its derivatives).

PLEASE NOTE THAT SECTION 17 OF THESE TERMS REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IF THERE IS SUCH A DISPUTE.

  1. Acceptance of the Terms.

Please carefully read the following terms of use and all other rules and guidelines that we may communicate to you from time to time through the Service, (collectively, the "Terms"), which create a binding legal contract between you and Eat App. By accessing the Site or using the Service, you agree to be bound by and comply with the Terms. If at any time you do not agree to these Terms, you must immediately stop using the Service.

  1. Reservation Services.

    Eat App provides the Service to enable Guests to make online reservations at participating Locations. To make a reservation, you will have to provide your name, phone number, and email address, along with other information that may be required by the Location. By providing your email address, you agree to receive information about your reservation via email. All reservations are subject to the availability of the Locations for your specified time, date and party, and are not confirmed until you have received a confirmation email. Some Locations may require that you provide your credit card to make a reservation, for example, if the reservation is for a large party or a special event.  Some Locations or experiences offered at those Locations may require a pre-payment.

  2. No-Show Policy.

    You must adhere to each Location’s reservation and cancellation policy. If the Location does not provide such a policy, Eat App requires that you provide at least 30 minutes notice of the cancellation of a reservation made through the Service, either by contacting the Location directly or through the Service. You may dispute any no-show by contacting the Location. The final determination of a no-show will be made by the Location at its sole discretion.
  3. Location No-Show and Cancellation Fees.

If the Location has a separate cancellation policy and has required that you provide a credit card to confirm your reservation, Eat App will provide you with the Location's cancellation policy when you make your reservation. You agree to pay any applicable Location cancellation or no-show fees in accordance with the Location's cancellation policy. Eat App may facilitate your payment to the Location through Stripe or another payment gateway. For more information regarding Eat App’ use of payment providers, see our Privacy Policy.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, EAT APP HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE.

  1. Dispute Resolution.
  2. Governing Law. These Terms, for all purposes, will be governed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, without giving effect to its conflicts of laws provisions that would require a different result.
  3. Arbitration. Any dispute that may not be brought in small claims court will be resolved by binding and confidential arbitration conducted in the English language, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, before one commercial arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes and governed by the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”).
  4. YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS, EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
  5. ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.

iii. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section 16 (for purposes of this Section only, the “Arbitration Agreement”) requiring and governing arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following addresses: via email to support@eatapp.co and via regular mail to Eat Application DMCC, Platinum Tower, 2401, JLT, Dubai, United Arab Emirates within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your account username (if any), the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you.

  1. Any arbitration award will be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by State of Dubai, United Arab Emirates law or United States federal law. Each party will bear its own costs with respect to the arbitration procedure.
  2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and (2) claims of (A) defamation, (B) violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or (C) infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights, may be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The parties agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose. A request for equitable relief will not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
  3. Enforceability. With the exception of Section 16(b)(i), if any part of Section 16(b) is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason then the balance of Section 16(b) will remain in effect. If, however, Section 16(b)(i) is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, or we receive a valid opt-out notice from you pursuant to Section 16(b)(iii), then Section 16(b) will be null and void, neither party will be entitled to arbitration, and any claims relating to the Terms or Service will be exclusively brought in a state or federal court located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
  4. Notices.

Eat App may provide you with notices by mail, electronic mail, or postings on the Service or Site. You may provide Eat App with notices by United States Registered Mail sent to Eat Application DMCC, Platinum Tower, 2401, JLT, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If notice is provided by email, notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after email is sent, unless Eat App is notified that the email address is invalid. If notice is provided by posting through the Service, then notice will be deemed given upon such posting. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Service. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.

  1. Miscellaneous.

Except in the case of Registered Users, these Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Eat App relating to the Service, and supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between you and Eat App with respect to the Service. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Eat App’ failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not waive any prior or future performance of any such provision. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Eat App as a result of these Terms or your use of the Service. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Eat App without restriction, including by operation of law, merger, reincorporation, recapitalization, or sale of all or substantially all of Eat App’ assets. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms will be void. The headings and captions in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in interpreting this Agreement. As used herein, “include” and its derivatives is exemplary, not exhaustive, and “may” means “has the right, but not the obligation, to.”
