If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. tablr and Restaurant are each hereinafter referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
Overview and Account Signup
- General. tablr allows users of the Site (“Users”) to make online reservations at participating restaurants through the Service. The Service is intended to replace restaurants’ existing ‘pen and paper’ reservation book by allowing Users to view the availability of seats at a restaurant and make reservations without having to call into the restaurant. Restaurant personnel may access and manage reservations made through the Service on an iPad (“Service Device”).
- Accounts. In order for the Restaurant to use the Service and as part of the signup process, you are required to register to create an account on the Service (“Restaurant Account”). As part of that registration, Restaurant will provide all applicable information requested during the registration process through the management interface on the Service, including but not limited to the Restaurant’s address and operating hours. By creating a Restaurant Account on the Site, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are of legal age to form a binding contract; (ii) you are an authorized representative of the Restaurant or other entity with the authority to bind such party to these Terms, (iii) all information provided within the application is true; and (iv) you agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of the Restaurant or its parent entity (as applicable).
- Approval at tablr’s Sole Discretion. After the registration process is complete, tablr will review the information submitted by Restaurant. tablr reserves the right to approve or deny use of the Service for Restaurant (or the applicable parent entity) at its sole discretion. Any continued use of the Service is subject to the Restaurant’s continued compliance with these Terms.
- Additional Features. tablr may offer certain optional features and functionalities for Restaurants (“Additional Features”). The use of any Additional Features may require additional fees and require Restaurant to agree to additional terms and conditions specific to those Additional Features, which will be provided to Restaurant at the time Restaurant elects to utilize those Additional Features through the Service.
Reservation Policies
- Service Configuration and License. Prior to offering the Service to Users, you must use the web and iPad tools to provide basic information for the Restaurant and configure the dates and times for which reservations will be available. This shall include, without limitation, providing the Restaurant’s address, operating hours, and seating configuration. You may also upload photographs and additional information for the Restaurant to be displayed to Users on the Service. By providing any information to the Service, you grant tablr a nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, and publicly display the information you provide and derivatives thereof in connection with the Service and tablr’s (and its successors’) business, including, without limitation, for marketing, promoting, and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) and using such information for analytics purposes.
- Acceptance of Reservations. tablr offers the Service to facilitate and assist Users in making reservations at participating restaurants, and Users make their reservations based upon the availability of seating at the Restaurant. When a User makes a reservation for an available reservation slot on the Service, that reservation is binding upon Restaurant and may not be cancelled except as provided in Section 2(c) below. All reservations are between the Restaurant and User, and you agree to honor all reservations made through the Service. Restaurant may “overbook” its seating capacity by accepting multiple reservations for a single reservation slot, but Restaurant acknowledges and agrees that Restaurant is solely responsible and that tablr has no responsibility for any overbooking of reservations, whether made through the Service or otherwise.
- Reservation Cancellation Policy:
- User Cancellations. Restaurant sets the amount of time before a reservation the user can cancel through the Service. If this time constraint is not satisfied the User is not allowed to cancel through the Service and is advised to contact the Restaurant directly. Restaurant agrees to promptly update the Service for any cancellations made directly through the Restaurant.
- Restaurant Cancellations. The web portal for the Service will allow Restaurant to add details including their cancellation policy (“Cancellation Policy”) for reservations on the Service. Restaurant agrees to abide by and apply any posted Cancellation Policy for all reservations made on the Service. Any change to Restaurant’s Cancellation Policy shall only be effective for reservations made after such change and Restaurant’s prior Cancellation Policy shall apply to any preexisting reservations.
- Credit Card Holds and Cancellation Fees. Tablr itself does not impose a fee on Users for cancellations. Restaurant may require that Users provide a credit card to make a reservation for the Service in accordance with their Cancellation Policy, including for special occasions or for large parties. If a credit card is required to hold a reservation by the Restaurant, Users will be required to provide their credit card information by directly contacting the Restaurant. The User’s credit card information is not collected by tablr. If the User is a “no-show” and fails to cancel their reservation within the required amount of time, Restaurant will implement its own Cancellation Policy accordingly, including initiating a charge to the User if such a fee is explicitly set forth in Restaurant’s Cancellation Policy. tablr does not facilitate charges, chargebacks, or send payments to the Restaurant.
