Welcome to res-cuisine.com (the "Site," "we," "us," "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Site, including all content, features, and services offered on or through it. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use this Site. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may only use the Site under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
2. Nature of Our Content
Res Cuisine publishes restaurant information, reviews, ratings, menus, pricing, and related editorial content for general informational purposes only.
- Information accuracy: We make reasonable efforts to verify and keep listings accurate (hours, address, menu, pricing) and note the date of our most recent visit or update on each listing. However, restaurants change hours, prices, menus, and may close without notifying us. We do not guarantee that any information on the Site is current, complete, or error-free.
- No reservation/booking service: Res Cuisine is an informational and editorial resource. We do not process reservations, payments, or orders on behalf of restaurants. Any booking link to a third-party platform is provided for convenience only.
- User responsibility: You are responsible for confirming time-sensitive details (opening hours, availability, dietary accommodations, reservation requirements) directly with the restaurant before visiting.
3. Nature of Our Reviews
- All reviews, ratings, and opinions published on the Site reflect the individual, subjective experience of the reviewer at the specific time of their visit, as disclosed in the byline and date of each article.
- Your own experience at any restaurant may differ due to factors outside our control, including staff changes, seasonal menu shifts, time of visit, or simple variability in food preparation.
- Star ratings and rankings are based on the criteria described in our About Us page and represent editorial judgment, not a guarantee of quality.
- We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review. Where an article includes sponsored content or a paid placement, this will be clearly and conspicuously disclosed within that article.
4. Intellectual Property
- All original content on the Site — including articles, reviews, photographs, graphics, logos, and the overall site design — is owned by Res Cuisine or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws, unless otherwise credited.
- You may view, share, and link to our content for personal, non-commercial use, provided you do not alter it and you credit Res Cuisine with a link back to the original page.
- You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, scrape, or create derivative works from our content for commercial purposes without our prior written consent.
- Restaurant names, logos, and trademarks referenced on the Site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and editorial purposes only; such use does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with those businesses.
5. User-Submitted Content
If the Site allows you to submit comments, restaurant suggestions, corrections, photos, or other content ("User Content"), you agree that:
- You own the content or have the right to submit it
- The content does not infringe on any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
- The content is not false, defamatory, harassing, obscene, or otherwise unlawful
- By submitting User Content, you grant Res Cuisine a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, and reproduce that content on the Site and in related promotional materials
- We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to edit, refuse, or remove any User Content without notice
6. Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content
Some articles on the Site may contain affiliate links to third-party platforms (e.g., reservation services, delivery apps, or travel booking tools). If you make a booking or purchase through such a link, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This relationship never influences the substance of our editorial reviews and ratings, and any sponsored article or paid placement will be explicitly disclosed within that specific piece of content, in line with FTC disclosure guidelines.
7. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to:
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms
- Scrape, data-mine, or use automated tools to extract content from the Site without our prior written permission
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site, our servers, or related systems
- Upload viruses, malware, or any code intended to disrupt the Site's functionality
- Impersonate Res Cuisine, our staff, or any other person or entity
- Post or transmit false reviews, spam, or misleading information through any interactive feature of the Site
8. Third-Party Links
The Site contains links to third-party websites (restaurant sites, booking platforms, social media, payment processors) that are not owned or controlled by Res Cuisine. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites. Accessing them is at your own risk.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any restaurant information is current or accurate at the time you access it.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Res Cuisine and its team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of money, time, or a poor dining experience — arising from your use of or reliance on the Site or any information published on it, including outdated hours, prices, menus, or closed restaurants. Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Site shall not exceed the amount, if any, you paid to access the Site (which, for most users, is zero, as access is free).
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Res Cuisine, its team, and affiliates harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your misuse of the Site.
12. Termination of Access
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate your access to the Site, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, applicable law, or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [your governing jurisdiction — e.g., the State of Indiana, USA, or Vietnam, depending on where you actually operate], without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [your jurisdiction].
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
