App End-User Terms
Effective April 6, 2026 · Last updated August 3, 2026
These End-User Terms ("App Terms") govern your use of branded restaurant ordering apps and websites powered by the Branded Bites Platform. By downloading, installing, or using a Branded Bites-powered app, or by placing an order through a Branded Bites-powered ordering website, you agree to these App Terms. These App Terms are entered into between you and Branded Bites LLC as the developer of record for apps published under the Branded Bites developer account.
Introduction and Parties
Branded Bites LLC ("Branded Bites") develops and operates the technology platform that powers branded ordering apps and websites for restaurants. The restaurant (the "Restaurant") is the merchant of record for your order; it sets menu prices, manages fulfillment, and is responsible for the food and beverage you receive.
Some restaurant apps powered by Branded Bites are published under the Branded Bites LLC developer account on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For those apps, Branded Bites is the developer of record and is responsible for the app software and platform infrastructure. The Restaurant remains responsible for the goods and services provided to you.
Account
To place orders, earn loyalty points, or save your preferences, you may need to create an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating your account.
- Keep your password confidential and not share it with others.
- Notify the Restaurant or Branded Bites immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
- Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account. If you are under 18, you may only use the app with the involvement and consent of your parent or legal guardian.
Ordering and Fulfillment
When you place an order through a Branded Bites-powered app or website, your order is placed directly with the Restaurant. The Restaurant accepts, prepares, and fulfills your order. Branded Bites provides the ordering technology.
- Order accuracy: You are responsible for reviewing your order before submitting it. The Restaurant will prepare the items you select.
- Allergens and dietary information: Menu descriptions are provided by the Restaurant. Always inform the Restaurant directly of any serious food allergies or dietary restrictions. Branded Bites is not responsible for allergen information accuracy.
- Pickup times: Estimated pickup or delivery times are estimates only and may vary based on kitchen volume, weather, and other factors.
- Delivery: Where delivery is available, it may be fulfilled by the Restaurant directly, or through a third-party delivery partner (such as Uber Direct or DoorDash Drive) selected by the Restaurant. Delivery fees and availability vary by location.
- Refunds and cancellations: Refund and cancellation policies are set by the Restaurant. Contact the Restaurant directly for refund requests. Branded Bites may facilitate refunds on the Restaurant's behalf but is not the merchant of record.
Loyalty and Rewards
If the Restaurant offers a loyalty program powered by Branded Bites, you may earn and redeem points, rewards, and offers in accordance with the Restaurant's loyalty program terms. Key points:
- Points and rewards have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for cash.
- Loyalty points and rewards are non-transferable.
- Points may expire if your account is inactive for an extended period, as specified in the Restaurant's loyalty program terms.
- The Restaurant may change, suspend, or terminate its loyalty program at any time with notice to enrolled members.
- Fraudulent activity, including creating fake accounts to earn points or abusing referral programs, may result in forfeiture of points and account termination.
Payments
Payment for orders is processed through our third-party payment processor. By entering your payment information, you authorize us to charge the amount of your order, including any applicable delivery fees, taxes, and gratuity. Your payment information is transmitted securely and is not stored by Branded Bites.
If your payment is declined, we will notify you and your order will not be placed until payment is successfully processed.
Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the app for any unlawful purpose.
- Place fraudulent orders or use fraudulent payment methods.
- Create multiple accounts to exploit promotions or loyalty programs.
- Interfere with or disrupt the operation of the app or Branded Bites infrastructure.
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the app.
- Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to interact with the app.
- Resell goods ordered through the app for commercial purposes.
Privacy
Your personal information is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. In summary, when you use a restaurant's app powered by Branded Bites, the restaurant is the controller of your order and account data. Branded Bites processes it as a service provider on the restaurant's behalf. We do not sell your personal information.
