Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, uploading menu content, or using any part of MenuHoster, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use MenuHoster. By registering, you represent that all information you provide is accurate and current.

You may create an account using:

• Email and password
• Google account login (OAuth)
• Facebook account login (OAuth)

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. Notify us immediately at support@menuhoster.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Plans, Billing, and Cancellations

MenuHoster offers multiple subscription plans:

Billing Terms

• Monthly plans are billed on a recurring basis until canceled.
• Annual plans are billed once per year and offer savings over monthly billing.
• Lifetime plans are one-time payments that provide access to the Service for as long as MenuHoster operates and the plan tier remains available. Lifetime plans do not guarantee perpetual access or that the Service will exist forever.
• Active menus are those published and publicly viewable. Draft menus do not count toward your limit.
• If you exceed your plan limits (views, scans, or active menus), we will notify you and provide a reasonable opportunity to upgrade. We will not abruptly remove your menus without notice.

Cancellations and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial months or unused time, except where required by law.

User Content

You retain ownership of all content you upload to MenuHoster, including menus, photos, PDFs, business information, and descriptions (“User Content”).

By uploading User Content, you grant MenuHoster a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Service.

Prohibited Content

You may not upload or share content that:

• Violates any law or regulation
• Infringes on intellectual property rights of others
• Contains malware, viruses, or malicious code
• Is fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading
• Contains hate speech, harassment, or threats
• Depicts or promotes illegal activity

MenuHoster reserves the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, is inappropriate or harmful.

Public Pages and Sharing

When you publish a menu on MenuHoster, it becomes publicly accessible via:

• A unique hosted URL (e.g., menuhoster.com/your-restaurant-name)
• A QR code that directs to that URL

Your published menus, business name, descriptions, and any information you choose to display are visible to anyone who visits the URL or scans the QR code. You control what information appears on your public menu pages.

The “Call Restaurant” button on menu pages uses the phone number you provide. You are responsible for ensuring this information is accurate and up to date.

Analytics

MenuHoster provides analytics on menu views, QR code scans, time trends, and other usage metrics. Analytics are provided for informational purposes and may not be 100% accurate. We do not guarantee the precision or completeness of analytics data.

Verified Badges

Pro and Max plan subscribers receive verified badges (blue and gold, respectively) displayed on their menu pages. These badges indicate an active paid subscription and are intended to build customer trust.

Verified badges do NOT constitute:

• An endorsement by MenuHoster of your business practices
• A guarantee of food safety, quality, or regulatory compliance
• Certification or accreditation of any kind

Badges are removed if your subscription lapses or is canceled.
