1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the GroupTops website and any related services (together, "GroupTops"). By using GroupTops, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use GroupTops.

2. Description of the service

GroupTops helps diners discover and connect with restaurant partners that can accommodate larger and private group dining. GroupTops is a marketplace and discovery tool: except where we state otherwise, we are not a party to any reservation, event or transaction between a diner and a restaurant, and we do not operate the restaurants listed or featured on the site.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use GroupTops on your own behalf. If you use GroupTops on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

4. Using GroupTops

• You agree to provide accurate information when using the group finder, submitting a restaurant profile, or otherwise communicating with us.
• You're responsible for the accuracy of details you submit, including group size, dates, budgets and contact information.
• You agree to use GroupTops only for its intended purpose of exploring and arranging group dining, not for unrelated commercial solicitation.

5. Restaurant partners

Restaurants that introduce themselves to GroupTops are responsible for the accuracy and currency of the information they submit, including private dining capacity, group menus, minimums, pricing and amenities. GroupTops does not independently verify every detail submitted by a restaurant partner and is not responsible for inaccuracies in a restaurant's own submission. We reserve the right to decline, remove or edit a restaurant submission at our discretion, including for accuracy, quality or policy reasons.

6. Bookings & reservations

Availability, pricing, menus, deposits, minimum spends, cancellation policies and other booking terms are controlled by the applicable restaurant, not by GroupTops, unless we state otherwise for a specific feature. Final booking terms should always be confirmed directly with the restaurant before a reservation or event is confirmed. GroupTops is not responsible for a restaurant's failure to honor a reservation, for the quality of food, service or venue, or for any dispute between you and a restaurant.

7. Prohibited conduct

When using GroupTops, you agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading or fraudulent information through the group finder or restaurant intake form;
• Use GroupTops to harass, defraud or harm another person or business;
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt or gain unauthorized access to GroupTops or its underlying systems;
• Scrape, harvest or otherwise systematically extract data from GroupTops without our prior written consent;
• Use GroupTops to violate any applicable law or the rights of any third party.

8. Intellectual property

GroupTops, including its name, logo, design and content, is owned by GroupTops or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except as needed to use GroupTops for its intended purpose, you may not copy, modify, distribute or create derivative works from GroupTops content without our prior written permission. Restaurant names, logos and photography referenced on GroupTops remain the property of their respective owners.

9. Third-party links & services

GroupTops may link to or reference third-party restaurants, websites or services. We don't control and aren't responsible for the content, policies or practices of any third party. Your use of a third-party site or service is governed by that party's own terms.

10. Disclaimers

GroupTops is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that GroupTops will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any particular restaurant match will meet your expectations.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GroupTops and its officers, employees and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of GroupTops, even if we've been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim relating to GroupTops will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold GroupTops harmless from any claims, damages, losses or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of GroupTops, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to GroupTops at any time, with or without notice, including for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to other users, restaurant partners, or GroupTops itself.

14. Governing law & disputes

The governing law and dispute-resolution process for these Terms — including the applicable jurisdiction, venue and any arbitration provisions — will be finalized and added here before production launch, based on where GroupTops is legally established.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time as GroupTops evolves. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of GroupTops after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
