7. User Rewards
L4R makes available through the Services offers on certain third-party products and services,
described below.
a. Restaurant Coupons and Gift Certificates
Restaurants on the Services may choose to offer coupons and/or gift certificates to you. These
coupons and gift certificates are not endorsed or recommended by L4R. You understand that
L4R: (i) does not and cannot review the content of restaurant coupons and gift certificates made
available via the Services; (ii) does not validate or guarantee any of the content of any restaurant
coupon or gift certificate made available via the Services; and (iii) is not a party to any

coupon or gift certificate. Redemption of coupons and gift certificates is subject to the limitations
and rules set by the respective Merchants and such gift certificates or coupons may not be
available for use and redemption by individuals located outside the United States.
b. L4R Gift Certificates
L4R Gift Certificates can be purchased via the Services and redeemed at any restaurant on the
L4R Services that chooses to participate in the L4R Gift Certificate Program (“Participating Restaurants”).
Participating Restaurants are subject to change. The actual list of available Participating
Restaurants when redeeming an L4R Gift Certificate may differ than those listed on the Services.
L4R does not assume responsibility or liability for the actions, products, locations or content of
any current, former, or future Participating Restaurant.
If a redemption order exceeds the value of an L4R Gift Certificate, then you may be asked to pay
for additional charges associated with that order. Unless a longer expiration date is required by
law, L4R Gift Certificates expire one (1) year after purchase. Individually identifiable
redemption and balance information will only be shared with the recipient/owner of the L4R Gift
Certificate.
c. L4R Rewards Points
For each dollar that you spend at a Merchant in a transaction completed via the Services, you
will receive one (1) L4R Rewards Point. Taxes and restaurant delivery charges do not count
towards your L4R Rewards Points total. You may redeem your L4R Rewards Points to make
purchases from any restaurant via the Services, subject to that Merchant’s agreement to
participate in the L4R Rewards Points program.
The L4R Rewards Points program may be discontinued by L4R at any time without prior notice
to you. At any time and in Love4Restaurants’s sole discretion, L4R may: (i) determine whether
or not you are eligible to receive L4R Rewards Points; (ii) determine whether or not you have
earned L4R Rewards Points; or (iii) adjust your L4R Rewards Points total. Prior to distribution,
rewards have no monetary value and you may not obtain any cash, money, or anything of value
in exchange for your Rewards total except as made available by L4R under these Terms.
If you elect to close your L4R account and you have undistributed L4R Rewards Points, you will
be expected to distribute such Rewards prior to closing your account. If your account is
terminated by Love4Restaurants, if you fail to properly distribute your Rewards when closing
your account, any rights you have to the Rewards in your account will terminate and you will no
longer be eligible to receive a distribution of such L4R Rewards Points.
Depending on applicable federal, state, and local tax laws, your distribution of L4R Rewards
Points may be subject to taxes. You will be solely responsible for any and all tax liability arising
out of your receipt of L4R Rewards Points.
It is your responsibility to keep your L4R account active. If you fail to redeem L4R Rewards
Points within your L4R account for twelve (12) consecutive months, then your L4R account will
be considered "inactive." While your account is inactive, Love4Restaurants will deduct an
amount currently equal to four (4) L4R Rewards Points from your account every month prior to
reactivation ("Inactivity Fee"); this amount is subject to change. L4R will attempt to notify you
before your account becomes inactive, or if the Inactivity Fee amount changes, by sending you
an email to the address we have on file for you. Subject to L4R’s right to terminate your account
under these Terms, you may reactivate your L4R account by logging in to your L4R account and
redeeming at least one L4R Rewards Point. If your state's law prohibits L4R from charging the
Inactivity Fee, then L4R may deduct an Inactivity Fee equal to the maximum permitted by the
laws of your state.
8. Restaurant Reservation Services
The Services allow you to request a dining reservation at a participating third-party Merchant (a
“
Request”). When you make a Request, you agree to these Terms and confirm your acceptance
of any dining reservation that L4R matches to your Request. After matching your Request to an
available dining reservation, L4R completes the booking process and automatically sends you
and the restaurant an email confirmation, containing the details of your reservation.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that you must cancel any restaurant reservation that you
will be unable to honor at least 30 minutes in advance of the reservation. You may cancel your
reservation via the Services or by calling the Merchant directly. Some restaurants or entities may
require a debit or credit card number to finalize your reservation or transaction. In order to make
a reservation or engage in such transactions via the Services for these Merchants, you must
provide valid debit or credit card information. If such an arrangement is made via the L4R
platform, that is not within scope of the L4R services. Thus, the consequences that extend from
such reservations or transactions are not within L4R’s control. L4R uses this debit or credit card
information as described in our Privacy Policy and shall have no liability for any charges made
to the debit or credit card account for any failure to cancel your reservation or transaction in
accordance with a Merchant ’s cancellation policy or that of another entity. You may be required
to cancel your reservation or transaction in accordance with the Merchant or other entity’s
cancellation policy, which is disclosed at the time the reservation is made.
If you are unable to keep your reservation and you fail to cancel at least 30 minutes in advance of
the reservation, then L4R will send you an email, which you agree to receive, letting you know
that our records indicate that you were a no-show. Your account will be terminated if you are a
no-show for three reservations within a 12-month period. If you receive a no-show notification
email in error, please contact us at love4restaurants.sms@gmail.com to dispute it. User agrees
that all final no-show determinations will be made by L4R in its sole discretion.
9. Restaurant Ordering and Catering Services
The Services give Users the ability to order food and beverages, and pick-up and/or delivery
services in connection therewith, with participating restaurants (the “Order Restaurants”). We
provide order placement services only. We are not a merchant of food or beverages, or provider
of any pickup or delivery services in connection therewith, and do not control the Order
Restaurants or the production of any food or beverages, or any pick-up or delivery services
therewith.
Order Restaurants may also choose to offer catering via L4R. As stated herein, L4R is not liable
to you on any grounds for any damage that may result to you, your home or your guests as a
consequence of any catering services that you may purchase via L4R. L4R is not a party to any
agreement between you and any Order Restaurant on the Services to provide catering.
The Order Restaurants have entered into agreements with us to comply with federal, state and
local laws, rules, regulations, and standards pertaining to food preparation, sale, marketing and
safety. we do not in any way independently verify the credentials or representations of any of the
Order Restaurants, the ingredients or the quality of any their products or services, or any Order
Restaurant’s compliance with applicable laws.
Customers using the Services must make themselves comfortable through the information
provided by the Order Restaurants on the Services, by contacting the Order Restaurants directly,
or through such other means or methods as they may deem appropriate, as to the quality and
reliability and quality of the Order Restaurants and the Order Restaurants’ compliance with
applicable laws. We do not in any way guarantee the quality of any Order Restaurant or any food
or beverage, or any pick-up or delivery service in connection therewith, or any compliance
thereof with applicable laws. In addition, an Order Restaurant may represent certain standards
with respect to their food preparation (or other services), such as “organic,” “kosher,”
“macrobiotic” or allergen-specific standards such as “nut-free,” “gluten-free,” or “lactose-free,”
but we do not investigate or verify any such representations. We shall not be liable or responsible
for any food or beverages, or any other services, offered by the Order Restaurants or any errors
or misrepresentations made by them (including on the via the Services).
We do take customer satisfaction very seriously and, in addition to contacting the applicable
Order Restaurant directly, we ask that you notify us of all complaints or concerns that you might
have regarding the Order Restaurants.
10. L4R Dating and Activities
The Services allow Users to identify and communicate with other Users and arrange to meet in
person for dates or other activities. While this feature is a fun and exciting part of the Services,
there are inherent risks associated with meeting and associating with new people, whether
through the Services or offline, and you are responsible for ensuring your own safety. Please
keep the following useful tips in mind:
-
• You have the ability to receive messages on the Services, emails and SMS messages
regarding dates and activities that you arrange on the Services. You have the ability to
control whether you receive any or all of these messages, and they will be sent in
accordance with our Privacy Policy.
-
• If we learn that a User is intentionally posting inaccurate information on the Services
about himself or herself for the purposes of misleading other Users, then we reserve the
right to suspend or revoke that User’s access to the Services.
-
• Never respond to any request to send money, especially overseas or via wire transfer, and
report it to us immediately – even if the person claims to be in an emergency. Wiring
money is like sending cash: the sender has no protections against loss and it’s nearly
impossible to reverse the transaction or trace the money.
-
• Never give personal information, such as: your social security number, credit card
number or bank information, or your work or home address to people you don’t know or
haven’t met in person.
-
• We will never send you an email asking for your username and password information.
Any such communication is fraudulent and should be reported immediately.
-
• Block and report suspicious users. Keep conversations on the platform. Bad actors will
try to move the conversation to text, personal email or phone conversations.
-
• Keep your communications limited to the platform and use caution before
communicating with another User off the Services or offline. It’s up to you to research,
do your due diligence and use your best judgment when interacting with other Users.
-
• When you arrange to meet another User for the first time, meet in restaurants, or a
populated, public place – never in a private or remote location, and never at your home or
apartment. For example, the Services are primarily intended to facilitate meetings at
restaurants that are registered with the Services – we strongly encourage you to have at
least your first date at a Restaurant registered on the Services. If your date pressures you,
end the date and leave at once.
-
• Before you meet someone from the Services in person, tell a friend or family member of
your plans and when and where you’re going. Make sure you have your cell phone
charged and with you at all times.
-
• Do not depend on your date for transportation. Have a plan to get yourself home in case
things don’t work out.
-
• Consumption of alcohol and/or other drugs can impair your judgment and potentially put
you in danger. It’s important to keep a clear mind and avoid anything that might place
you at risk. Be aware that bad actors might try to take advantage of you by altering your
beverage(s) with synthetic substances. Therefore, it is imperative that you remain diligent
when it comes to monitoring your food and beverages.
Additionally, please report anyone who violates these Terms, such as:
- • Asking you for money or donations;
- • Requesting photographs;
- • Minors using the platform;
- • Users sending harassing, abusive, or offensive messages;
- • Users behaving inappropriately after meeting in person;
- • Fraudulent registration or profiles; and
- • Spam or solicitation, such as invitations to call 1-900 numbers or attempts to sell products or services.
If you do become romantically involved with a person you meet on the Services, that’s great!
But be safe. You and your partner should use proper protection. Condoms and other mechanisms
can significantly reduce the risk of contracting or passing on a communicable illness, such as
HIV. Please keep in mind, you can still get certain STIs, like herpes or HPV from contact with
your partner’s skin even when using a condom. Talk to your partner about both of your sexual
histories and get tested regularly.
If something goes wrong and you are victimized, immediately call 911. Emergency situations
include a recent threat of violence or sexual violence, recent act of violence or sexual violence or
if your health or someone else’s health is in danger.
If something has happened and you’re in need of help, support or advice pertaining to physical or
sexual assault, please call the below 24hr hotlines.

11. L4R Hiring Services
The Services include the ability for Users to apply for jobs (the “Hiring Services”). By applying
for a job via the Hiring Services, you understand and agree that L4R is not affiliated with any
employer that posts a job on the Services. L4R is not an employer, nor is L4R in any way
involved in the process of determining whether you get or do not get a job for which you apply
via the Services. The employer who posts the job has sole discretion over the criteria used to
determine your hiring eligibility.
By responding to a job listing on the Hiring Services, you represent that the information you
submit is true and accurate. If we learn that a User is intentionally posting inaccurate information
on the Services about himself or herself for the purposes of misleading potential employers, then
we reserve the right to suspend or revoke that User’s access to the Services immediately.
If you are an employer posting a job on the Hiring Services, additional terms govern your use of
the Hiring Services. Please refer to the
Vendor Terms of Service for these additional terms.
12. Posting Reviews
The Services include the ability for Users to post Merchant reviews. When posting a review,
please keep in mind that, as stated above in Paragraphs 1, 4, and 14, you alone are responsible
for your Content, and once published, it cannot always be withdrawn. You assume all risks
associated with your Content, including anyone's reliance on its quality, accuracy, or reliability,
or any disclosure by you of information in your Content that makes you personally identifiable.
You represent that you own or have the necessary permissions to use and authorize the use of
Your Content as described herein.
You may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your Content contains material that is false,
intentionally misleading, or defamatory; violates any third-party right, including any copyright,
trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other
intellectual property or proprietary right; contains material that is unlawful, including illegal hate
speech or pornography; exploits or otherwise harms minors; or violates or advocates the
violation of any law or regulation.
Please also keep the following additional review guidelines in mind:
- • Your reviews should be unbiased and objective. For example, you shouldn’t write
reviews of your own business or employer, your friends’ or relatives’ business, your
peers or competitors in your industry, or businesses in your networking group.
- • Please make sure your contributions are relevant and appropriate. For example, reviews
aren't the place for rants about a business's employment practices, political ideologies,
extraordinary circumstances, or other matters that don't address the core of the consumer
experience.
- • Don’t publicize other people’s private information. Please don’t post close-up photos or
videos of other patrons without their permission, and please don’t post other people’s full
names unless you’re referring to service providers who are commonly identified by or
commonly share their own full names.
Beyond simply asking for a refund to remedy a bad experience, you should not use removing or
posting your review as a way to extract payment from a Merchant, regardless of whether you’ve
been a customer. If we learn that a User is engaging in this kind of behavior, then we reserve the
right to suspend or revoke that User’s access to the Services.
If we learn that a User is intentionally posting false information in reviews on the Services for
the purpose of misleading other Users and/or defaming a business, then we reserve the right to
suspend or revoke that User’s access to the Services.
13. L4R Rights

17. Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability
Please read this section carefully since it limits the liability of L4R and its parents, subsidiaries,
affiliates, related companies, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, partners, and
licensors (collectively, the "
L4R Entities"). Each of the subsections below only applies up to the
maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer
of implied warranties or the limitation of liability in contracts, and as a result the contents of this
section may not apply to you. Nothing in this section is intended to limit any rights you may
have which may not be lawfully limited.
Your access to and use of the Services or any Content is at your own risk. You understand and
agree that the Services is provided to you on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Without
limiting the foregoing, L4R ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS,
WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

completeness, accuracy, availability, timeliness, security or reliability of the Services or any
Content; (ii) any harm to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your
access to or use of the Services, or any Content; (iii) the deletion of, or the failure to store or to
transmit, any Content and other communications maintained by the Services; (iv) whether the
Services will meet your requirements or be available on an uninterrupted, secure, or error-free
basis. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from L4R Entities or through
the Services, will create any warranty not expressly made herein.
You agree to release, indemnify and hold the L4R Entities harmless from any from any and all
losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, rights, claims, actions of any
kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any User
Content, your connection to the Services, your violation of these Terms of Services or your
violation of any rights of another person. THIS RELEASE ENCOMPASSES ANY DISPUTE
THAT MAY ARISE IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER AREA OF LAW
REGARDING ANY ENCOUNTER OR AGREEMENT THAT YOU MAY HAVE WITH ANY
PERSON(S) WHOM YOU MEET THROUGH THE SERVICES, OR ANY BUSINESS WITH
WHICH YOU DO BUSINESS VIA THE SERVICES.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in
his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially
affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive
any comparable statute or doctrine.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree
that we are not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or
resources; or (ii) the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or
resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by L4R Entities of
such websites or resources or the content, products, or services available from such websites or
resources. You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of
any such websites or resources.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE L4R ENTITIES
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR
REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF
DATA, USE, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (i)
YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES;
(ii) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICES,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL
CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (iii) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED
FROM THE SERVICES; OR (iv) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF
YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE L4R ENTITIES EXCEED
THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $100.00) OR THE AMOUNT
YOU PAID L4R, IF ANY, IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE
TO THE CLAIM.
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF
LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE L4R
ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE,
AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
IN ADDITION, YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS
MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION LITIGATION AGAINST ANY L4R ENTITY.

other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.
