APP Terms of service
JOSIAH EATS APP — TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective Date: June 25, 2026
1. INTRODUCTION
This section explains who we are and what you're agreeing to.
Thank you for using the Josiah Eats App (the "Service" or "App"), a curated restaurant discovery app for South Florida. The Service is provided by Cafiero Media LLC and its affiliates ("we," "us," "our," or "Josiah Eats").
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and us. Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy (https://josiaheats.com/privacy), which explains how we handle your information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference, and by any additional policies, guidelines, or terms we post or present within the Service for particular features. Together, these documents make up your "Agreement" with us. If additional terms for a specific feature conflict with these Terms, the additional terms apply for that feature.
Please read this Agreement carefully. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a business or organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
2. WHO MAY USE JOSIAH EATS
This section covers age requirements and who is eligible to use the Service.
You may use the Service if you are at least 13 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Service, and they should read this Agreement with you. If you are a parent or guardian who allows a minor to use the Service, you are responsible for that minor's activity and are bound by this Agreement on their behalf.
You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, or if you are located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or are on any U.S. Government list of restricted parties (see Section 19).
The Service references dining establishments, some of which serve alcohol. The Service does not sell, promote, or facilitate the purchase of alcohol and is not intended to encourage underage drinking.
3. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US
This section describes the Service we provide and our commitments to you.
Josiah Eats is a curated guide to South Florida dining. Through the Service you can browse restaurants on an interactive map, view restaurant profiles, discover curated dining events, read hand-picked guides and lists, search, and — with an account — save favorites and build custom lists.
We work to provide a useful, reliable, and accessible Service, and to improve it over time. We may add, change, or remove features and Content, and we may release updates. From time to time we may stop offering the Service or certain features; where we do, and where it materially affects you, we will provide reasonable notice unless we need to act quickly for legal, security, or operational reasons.
We are committed to making the Service accessible to people with disabilities, as described in Section 17.
4. WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU
This section explains the rules for using the Service.
To keep the Service safe and functional, you agree that you will not:
- use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of this Agreement;
- copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or create derivative works from our curated Content (guides, lists, notes, recommendations, photos, and their selection and arrangement) except as expressly allowed;
- scrape, harvest, crawl, index, or use automated means to extract data or Content from the Service;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or attempt to derive its source code, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
- interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or networks, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any system or account;
- circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features or access controls, including subscription paywalls;
- introduce malware or other harmful code;
- remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices;
- use our name, branding, or Content to imply affiliation or endorsement without our written permission; or
- resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or its Content without our written consent.
If you believe another user or any Content violates this Agreement or the law, you can report it to us using the contact details in Section 30.
5. YOUR ACCOUNT AND SIGN-IN
This section covers browsing without an account, creating one, and keeping it secure.
Browsing without an account. You can browse restaurants, view the map, read guides, and view events without creating an account. An account is required only to save or favorite restaurants, build custom lists, and view your notification feed history.
Creating an account. Accounts are created and accessed through a third-party authentication provider (Manus OAuth). We do not create or store a password for you; sign-in is handled by the provider. When you sign in, we receive your name and email from your identity with that provider in order to set up and identify your account.
Your responsibilities. You are responsible for the security of the device and credentials used to access your account and for activity that occurs under it. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use. Keep your information accurate and current.
6. SAVED RESTAURANTS AND CUSTOM LISTS
This section covers the lists you create.
The Service lets account holders save restaurants and create custom lists. You are responsible for the names and organization of your lists. You agree not to use list names that are unlawful, infringing, defamatory, obscene, or that violate others' rights. We may remove any list name or saved item that we reasonably believe violates this Agreement, though we have no obligation to monitor.
The Service does not host public reviews, ratings, comments, or uploads — all editorial Content is curated by us.
7. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PAYMENTS
This section explains paid subscriptions, billing, and how to cancel.
Plans. The Service offers a free tier and an optional paid subscription ("Premium"), which may include full map access, must-order notes, all curated lists, exclusive event notifications, unlimited saves and lists, and early access to new additions.
- Monthly: $2.99 USD per month
- Annual: $29.99 USD per year
Prices may change in the future, and where they do we will provide notice as required by law and by the applicable app store.
Taxes. Prices shown may not include applicable taxes or fees, which may be calculated and added by the app store at the time of purchase.
Billing and auto-renewal. Subscriptions are sold and processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, depending on your device, and managed through the RevenueCat platform. Payment is charged to your Apple or Google account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged within 24 hours before renewal.
Managing and cancelling. Manage, change, or cancel your subscription and turn off auto-renewal through your Apple or Google account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not store or process your payment card details.
Refunds. Payments are handled by Apple or Google and are subject to their refund policies. We do not directly issue refunds for app store purchases, and except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.
Restore purchases. If you reinstall the App or switch devices, you can restore an active subscription tied to your Apple or Google account.
8. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
This section covers the alerts we may send.
If you grant permission, we may send push notifications about new restaurants, events, deals, guides, recommendations, and announcements, and may target them by area. Notifications may reach your device whether or not you have an account. You can turn them off at any time in your device's settings, and account holders can customize categories in the App.
9. LOCATION
This section covers how the map uses your location.
The App may ask for your approximate location to center the map and show nearby restaurants. Location access is optional — the map works without it. Location is used in real time, is not stored on our servers, and is not used for background tracking or location history. You can revoke the permission anytime in your device settings.
10. CONTENT, ACCURACY, HEALTH, AND SPONSORED LISTINGS
This section explains the nature of our curated content, its limits, and important health and allergen information.
We curate restaurant information with care, but details such as hours, pricing, menus, and availability can change and may become outdated or contain errors. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of any Content, and you should confirm details directly with the restaurant or third-party platform before relying on them. We are not responsible for loss or inconvenience resulting from outdated Content or from the unavailability of any restaurant, event, or third-party service.
Health, allergens, and dietary information. The Service is provided for general informational and discovery purposes only and is not dietary, nutritional, medical, or other professional advice. We do not verify, and do not guarantee the accuracy of, any allergen, ingredient, nutritional, dietary, or food-safety information, and menus, recipes, and preparation methods change frequently and are controlled by the restaurants, not by us. If you have a food allergy, intolerance, dietary restriction, or other health condition, you must confirm ingredients, preparation, and suitability directly with the restaurant before ordering or eating. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for any allergic reaction, illness, injury, or other harm arising from your dining choices or from reliance on Content in the Service.
Sponsored listings. Some restaurants or events may be sponsored, featured, or paid placements. Where required by law, such Content will be identified as sponsored or featured.
11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, YOUR LICENSE, AND SOFTWARE
This section covers who owns what, your permission to use the App, and how updates and open-source components work.
The Service and all curated Content — including guides, lists, notes, recommendations, text, design, graphics, logos, the "Josiah Eats" name and brand, and the selection and arrangement of Content — are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws.
Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the App on a device you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Restaurant names, logos, and third-party marks belong to their respective owners and appear for identification purposes.
Software, updates, and open-source components. The App is licensed, not sold, to you. We may provide updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and new versions of the App, and the App or your device may download and install these automatically, including over-the-air updates. You agree to receive these updates as part of your use of the App, and you understand that the App may not function properly if updates are not installed. The App also includes software provided under open-source or other third-party licenses; those components are licensed to you under their own terms, which govern to the extent they conflict with this Agreement as applied to those components.
12. YOUR FEEDBACK
This section covers ideas and suggestions you send us.
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service — for example, through a beta program or feedback form — you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, incorporate, and otherwise exploit that feedback for any purpose, with no obligation or compensation to you. You are not required to send feedback, and you should not send us anything you consider confidential or proprietary.
13. COPYRIGHT AND DMCA
This section explains how to report copyright infringement and how to dispute a removal.
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and comparable laws.
Filing a notice. If you believe Content in the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent that includes: identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it appears; your contact information; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature.
Counter-notification. If you believe your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notice that includes: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material and the location where it appeared before removal; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; your name, address, and telephone number; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your judicial district (or, if outside the United States, the judicial district where we are located) and will accept service of process from the party who filed the notice. As permitted under the DMCA, we may restore the removed material.
Repeat infringers. We may, in appropriate cases, terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

14. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND LINKS
This section covers the outside services the App relies on or links to.
The Service relies on and links to third parties for authentication, push delivery, subscription management, error monitoring, mapping, and external reservation, ordering, menu, ticketing, and search platforms (for example, Resy, OpenTable, Tock, SevenRooms, Yelp, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Eventbrite). When you interact with a third-party service, that party's own terms and privacy policy apply. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, availability, pricing, or practices, and your dealings with them — including any reservations or purchases — are solely between you and them.
15. YOUR PRIVACY AND DATA RIGHTS
This section summarizes your data rights and points to the full Privacy Policy.
Our Privacy Policy (https://josiaheats.com/privacy) explains what we collect, how we use it, and how we share it. By using the Service, you agree to those practices. We do not sell your personal information.
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal information, including the rights summarized below. You can exercise many of them directly in the App, or by contacting us using Section 30. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction (GDPR/UK GDPR): You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. We process your data on these legal bases: performance of our contract with you (to provide your account and the Service), our legitimate interests (to operate, secure, and improve the Service), your consent (for example, push notifications and location, which you can withdraw at any time), and compliance with legal obligations. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Where we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards required by law.
If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to access and delete it, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. As noted, we do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not use sensitive personal information for purposes requiring an opt-out.
The Privacy Policy contains the full description of these rights and how to exercise them.
16. DELETING YOUR ACCOUNT AND YOUR DATA (RIGHT TO ERASURE)
This section explains how to permanently delete your account and information.
You can permanently delete your account at any time from the Account tab in the App. Deletion permanently removes your user record, saved restaurants, custom lists, notification and location preferences, and push tokens. This action is irreversible.
You may also request deletion by contacting us using Section 30, including where you wish to exercise a "right to be forgotten" / right to erasure under the GDPR, the CPRA, or other applicable law. We will honor valid requests as required by law. We may retain a limited amount of information where we are legally required or permitted to do so — for example, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements — and we will delete or anonymize the rest. Information shared with service providers (listed in the Privacy Policy) will be deleted in accordance with their processes and our instructions.
17. ACCESSIBILITY (ADA)
This section describes our commitment to an accessible Service.
We want everyone to be able to use Josiah Eats. We strive to make the Service accessible to people with disabilities and to align with recognized accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, as a target, and we work toward compatibility with the accessibility features of iOS and Android, such as screen readers, dynamic text sizing, and sufficient color contrast.
Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and some parts of the Service may not yet fully conform. If you encounter a barrier, or need this Agreement or any Content provided in an alternative accessible format, or if you need a reasonable accommodation to use the Service, please contact us using Section 30. We will make reasonable efforts to assist you and to address the issue.
18. BETA AND PRE-RELEASE FEATURES
This section covers early-access and pre-release versions of the Service.
From time to time we may offer beta, preview, or other pre-release features or versions ("Beta Features"), including through a waitlist or limited release. Beta Features are provided "as is" and "as available," may be incomplete or unstable, may change or be withdrawn at any time, and may not function as intended. Any additional terms we present with a Beta Feature also apply. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any issue arising from your use of Beta Features.
19. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
This section covers your obligation to use the Service lawfully.
You agree to use the Service in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including U.S. and other export-control and economic-sanctions laws. You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
20. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION
This section explains how this relationship can end.
You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account as described in Section 16.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service or your account if you materially or repeatedly breach this Agreement, if we are required to by law, or if your conduct creates harm or liability for users, third parties, or us. Where reasonable and lawful, we will provide notice. If you believe we acted in error, you may contact us to appeal using Section 30.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 26, and 27 — will survive.
21. DISCLAIMERS
This section explains the limits of what we promise.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT. THE SERVICE REQUIRES AN INTERNET CONNECTION, AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUES OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN EXCLUSIONS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT LIMITS RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
22. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
This section explains the limits of our legal responsibility.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OFFICERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) TWENTY-FIVE U.S. DOLLARS ($25.00).
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING CERTAIN CONSUMER RIGHTS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE LIMITATIONS, SO THEY MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
23. INDEMNIFICATION
This section covers your responsibility if your use of the Service causes a claim.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, members, employees, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to your use of the Service, your violation of this Agreement, or your violation of any rights of a third party.
24. APPLE APP STORE ADDITIONAL TERMS
This section applies if you download from the Apple App Store.
- This Agreement is between you and us only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Your license is limited to using the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding the App.
- Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, legal-compliance, and consumer-protection claims, or third-party intellectual-property claims.
- You confirm you are not located in an embargoed country or on a restricted-party list.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce it against you.
25. GOOGLE PLAY ADDITIONAL TERMS
This section applies if you download from Google Play.
Your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to this Agreement and is not responsible for the App.
26. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, AND GOVERNING LAW
This section explains which law applies and how disputes are resolved. Please read it carefully — it affects how you can bring claims.
Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
PLEASE READ — BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS-ACTION WAIVER. This Section requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. You may opt out as described below.
Informal resolution first. Before starting an arbitration, you and we agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days. Send a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought to [email protected] or to Cafiero Media LLC, 3800 S Ocean Drive, Hollywood, FL 33019; we will send ours to the contact associated with your account. The 60-day period may be extended by agreement, and any statute of limitations is tolled during it.
Agreement to arbitrate. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable consumer rules, rather than in court, except as stated below. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.
Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
Class-action and jury waiver. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims. You and we waive any right to a jury trial.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending your name and a clear opt-out statement to [email protected]. Opting out does not affect any other part of this Agreement.
Costs and location. The allocation of arbitration fees is governed by the administrator's rules and applicable law. Arbitration will take place in the county of your residence or another mutually agreed location, or be conducted remotely where permitted.
Severability of this Section. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court, but the rest of this arbitration provision remains in effect. If the entire arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the court-venue paragraph below applies.
Court venue (for opt-outs, excepted claims, or where arbitration does not apply). Subject to any consumer-protection laws of your place of residence that apply to you, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Broward County, Florida, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
27. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICES
This section covers contracting and communicating with us electronically.
By using the Service, you agree to enter into this Agreement and to do business with us electronically, and you consent to receive communications, notices, and disclosures from us electronically — by in-app message, by email to the address associated with your account, or by posting within the Service. You agree that these electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You may withdraw consent to non-essential communications through your settings or by contacting us, but some communications are necessary to operate the Service. We may give notices to you through the Service or by email; you may send notices to us using the details in Section 30.
28. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE AND THESE TERMS
This section explains how we update things.
We may modify the Service and these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes to these Terms, we will update the "Last Updated" date and, where the change negatively affects you, provide reasonable advance notice through the App or other reasonable means, except where we must act quickly for legal, security, or operational reasons. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.
29. ABOUT THESE TERMS
This section covers some final legal details.
- Entire agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersedes prior agreements on the subject.
- Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect, and the provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary.
- No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement without our consent; we may assign it in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- No third-party beneficiaries, except Apple as stated in Section 24.
- Governing language. If we provide a translation of this Agreement, the English-language version governs in case of any conflict.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Headings are for convenience only.
