If you live in the European Economic Area (“EEA“), United Kingdom & Switzerland, your terms are here.
If you live anywhere else, including the the United States, your terms are directly below.

For users in the United States and anywhere outside the EEA, United Kingdom & Switzerland

This TasteMatch User Agreement (“Terms“) applies to your access to and use of the mobile apps, website, APIs, emails, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Services“) provided by TasteMatch, Inc. (“TasteMatch,” “we,” “us,” or “our“).

TasteMatch is both a utility and a community, so we need some basic rules. By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use our Services.

1. Your Access to the Services

No one under 13 is allowed to use or access the Services. We may offer additional Services that require you to be older to use them, so please read all notices and any Additional Terms carefully when you access the Services.

By using the Services, you state that:

You are at least 13 years old and over the minimum age required by the laws of your country of residence to access and use the Services;
You can form a binding contract with TasteMatch, or, if you are over 13 but under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, that your legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms;
You are not barred from using the Services under all applicable laws; and
You have not been permanently suspended or removed from the Services.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of another legal entity, including a business or government entity, you represent that you have full legal authority to bind such entity to these Terms.

2. Privacy

The TasteMatch Privacy Policy explains how and why we collect, use, and share information about you when you access or use our Services. You understand that through your use of the Services, you consent to the collection and use of this information as set forth in our Privacy Policy.

3. Your Use of the Services

Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, TasteMatch grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable, limited license to: (a) install and use a copy of our mobile application associated with the Services that is obtained from a legitimate marketplace on a mobile device owned or controlled by you; and (b) access and use the Services. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you by these Terms.

Except and solely to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, you may not, without our written agreement:

license, sell, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Services or Content;
modify, prepare derivative works of, disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer any part of the Services or Content; or
access the Services or Content in order to build a similar or competitive website, product, or service.

We are always improving our Services. This means we may add or remove features, products, or functionality; we will try to notify you beforehand, but that won’t always be possible. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice to you. Any future release, update, or other addition to functionality of the Services will be subject to these Terms, which may be updated from time to time. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services or any part thereof.

4. Your TasteMatch Account and Account Security

To use certain features of our Services, you may be required to create a TasteMatch account (an “Account“) and provide us with a username, and certain other information about yourself as set forth in the Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for the information associated with your Account and anything that happens related to your Account. You must maintain the security of your Account and immediately notify TasteMatch if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your Account without your permission.

You will not license, sell, or transfer your Account without our prior written approval.

5. Your Content

The Services may contain information, text, links, graphics, photos, videos, audio, streams, or other materials (“Content“), including Content created with or submitted to the Services by you or through your Account (“Your Content“). We take no responsibility for and we do not expressly or implicitly endorse, support, or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any of Your Content.

By submitting Your Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to Your Content contained within these Terms. Because you alone are responsible for Your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if you post or share Content without all necessary rights.

You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant TasteMatch the following license to use that Content:

When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world. This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with TasteMatch. You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

Any ideas, suggestions, and feedback about TasteMatch or our Services that you provide to us are entirely voluntary, and you agree that TasteMatch may use such ideas, suggestions, and feedback without compensation or obligation to you.

In addition, Your Content may be viewable by other users of the Services and through third-party websites or applications. As such, Your Content may be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary. When you create or make available Your Content, you thereby represent and warrant that:

The creation, distribution, transmission, public display, or performance, and then accessing, downloading, or copying of Your Content does not and will not infringe the proprietary rights, including but not limited to the copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or moral rights of any third party.
You are the creator and owner of or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, releases, and permissions to use and to authorize us, the Services, and other users of the Services to use Your Content in any manner contemplated by us.
You have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and every identifiable individual person in Your Content to use the name or likeness or each and every such identifiable individual person to enable inclusion and use of Your Content in any manner contemplated by us.
Your Content is not false, inaccurate, or misleading.
Your Content is not unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, pyramid schemes, chain letters, spam, mass mailings, or other forms of solicitation.
Your Content is not obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, violent, harassing, libelous, slanderous, or otherwise objectionable (as determined by us).
Your Content does not ridicule, mock, disparage, intimidate, or abuse anyone.
Your Content is not used to harass or threaten (in the legal sense of those terms) any other person and to promote violence against a specific person or class of people.
Your Content does not violate any applicable law, regulation, or rule.
Your Content does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party.
Your Content does not violate any applicable law concerning child pornography, or otherwise intended to protect the health or well-being of minors.
Your Content does do not include any offensive comments that are connected to race, national origin, gender, sexual preference, or physical handicap.
Your Content does not otherwise violate, or link to material that violates, any provision of these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation.

Although we have no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor Your Content, we may, in our sole discretion, delete or remove Your Content at any time and for any reason, including for violating these Terms, violating our Community Guidelines, or if you otherwise create or are likely to create liability for us.

Any use of the Services in violation of the foregoing violates these Terms and may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Services.

6. Third-Party Content, Advertisements, and Promotions

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services, which may be posted by advertisers, our affiliates, our partners, or other users (“Third-Party Content“). Third-Party Content is not under our control, and we are not responsible for any third party’s websites, products, or services. Your use of Third-Party Content is at your own risk and you should make any investigation you feel necessary before proceeding with any transaction in connection with such Third-Party Content.

The Services may also contain sponsored Third-Party Content or advertisements. The type, degree, and targeting of advertisements are subject to change, and you acknowledge and agree that we may place advertisements in connection with the display of any Content or information on the Services, including Your Content.

If you choose to use the Services to conduct a promotion, including a contest or sweepstakes (“Promotion“), you alone are responsible for conducting the Promotion in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to creating official rules, offer terms, eligibility requirements, and compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations which govern the Promotion (such as licenses, registrations, bonds, and regulatory approval). Your Promotion must state that the Promotion is not sponsored by, endorsed by, or associated with TasteMatch, and the rules for your Promotion must require each entrant or participant to release TasteMatch from any liability related to the Promotion. You acknowledge and agree that we will not assist you in any way with your promotion, and you agree to conduct your Promotion at your own risk.

7. Things You Cannot Do

When using or accessing TasteMatch, you must comply with these Terms and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Please review the Community Guidelines, which is incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms and contain additional rules about prohibited content and conduct. In addition to what is prohibited in the Community Guidelines, you may not do any of the following:

Use the Services in any manner that could interfere with, disable, disrupt, overburden, or otherwise impair the Service;
Gain access to (or attempt to gain access to) another user’s Account or any non-public portions of the Services, including the computer systems or networks connected to or used together with the Services;
Upload, transmit, or distribute to or through the Services any viruses, worms, malicious code, or other software intended to interfere with the Services, including its security-related features;
Use the Services to violate applicable law or infringe any person’s or entity’s intellectual property rights or any other proprietary rights;
Access, search, or collect data from the Services by any means (automated or otherwise) except as permitted in these Terms or in a separate agreement with TasteMatch (we conditionally grant permission to crawl the Services in accordance with the parameters set forth in our robots.txt file, but scraping the Services without TasteMatch’s prior consent is prohibited); or
Use the Services in any manner that we reasonably believe to be an abuse of or fraud on TasteMatch or any payment system.

We encourage you to notify TasteMatch about any content or conduct that you believe violates these Terms or our Community Guidelines. We also support the responsible reporting of security vulnerabilities. To report a security issue, please email support@tastematch.app.

8. Copyright, Trademark, the DMCA, and Takedowns

TasteMatch respects the intellectual property of others and requires that users of our Services do the same. We have a policy that includes the removal of any infringing material from the Services and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our Services who are repeat infringers. TasteMatch is registered as a Service Provider with the US Copyright Office (ID: DMCA-1048313). If you believe that anything on our Services infringes a copyright or a trademark that you own or control, you may notify TasteMatch’s Designated Agent by contacting:

TasteMatch, Inc.
ATTN: Copyright Agent
Email: support@tastematch.app

Also, please note that if you knowingly misrepresent that any activity or material on our Service is infringing, you may be liable to TasteMatch for certain costs and damages.

If we remove Your Content in response to a copyright or trademark notice, we will notify you via email. If you believe Your Content was wrongly removed due to a mistake or misidentification in a copyright notice, you can send a counter notification to our Copyright Agent (contact information provided above). Please see 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) for the requirements of a proper counter notification.

9. Paid Services and Payment Information

Many of the Services are made available only through the purchase of a subscription (“Paid Services“). In addition to these Terms, by purchasing a TasteMatch subscription, you further agree to the TasteMatch Subscription Agreement.

TasteMatch may change the fees or benefits associated with the Paid Services from time to time with reasonable advance notice of material changes; provided, however, that no advance notice will be required for temporary promotions, including temporary reductions in the fees associated with the Paid Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any price changes or changes to your subscription plans will apply no earlier than 30 days following notice to you.

You may submit your debit card, credit card, or other payment information (“Payment Information“) via our Services to purchase the Paid Services. We use third-party service providers to process your Payment Information. If you submit your Payment Information, you agree to pay all costs that you incur, and you give us permission to charge you when payment is due for an amount that includes these costs and any applicable taxes and fees. All transactions are final, and we do not refund or credit for partially used billing periods.

10. Intellectual Property

The Services are owned and operated by TasteMatch. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, data, computer code, products, services, trademarks, and all other elements of the Services (“Materials“) provided by TasteMatch are protected by intellectual property and other laws. All Materials included in the Services are the property of TasteMatch or its third-party licensors. You acknowledge and agree that you shall not acquire any ownership rights whatsoever by downloading Materials or by purchasing a TasteMatch Subscription. Except as expressly authorized by TasteMatch, you may not make use of the Materials. TasteMatch reserves all rights to the Materials not granted expressly in these Terms.

11. Indemnity

Except to the extent prohibited by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold TasteMatch, its affiliates, and their respective, directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, third-party service providers, and licensors (the “TasteMatch Entities”) harmless from and against any claim or demand made by any third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense (including costs and attorneys’ fees) due to, arising out of, or in connection with: (a) your use of the Services, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of applicable laws or regulations, or (d) Your Content. We reserve the right to control the defense of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims.

12. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms will prejudice the statutory rights that you may have as a user of the Services. Some countries, states, provinces or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of liability as stated in this section, so the below terms may not fully apply to you. Instead, in such jurisdictions, the exclusions and limitations below shall apply only to the extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdictions.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, LEGAL, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE TASTEMATCH ENTITIES DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES ARE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, RELIABLE, CURRENT, OR ERROR FREE. TASTEMATCH DOES NOT CONTROL, ENDORSE, OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CONTENT AVAILABLE ON OR LINKED TO THE SERVICES OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY THIRD PARTY OR USER, INCLUDING MODERATORS. WHILE TASTEMATCH ATTEMPTS TO MAKE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF OUR SERVICES SAFE, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT OUR SERVICES OR SERVERS ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE TASTEMATCH ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST PROFITS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THOSE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE ON THE SERVICES THAT IS ALLEGED TO BE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL. ACCESS TO, AND USE OF, THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR COMPUTER SYSTEM, OR RESULTING LOSS OF DATA. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE TASTEMATCH ENTITIES EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR ANY AMOUNT YOU PAID TASTEMATCH IN THE PREVIOUS SIX MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING THOSE BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE TASTEMATCH ENTITIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF ANY REMEDY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

13. Governing Law and Venue

We want you to enjoy TasteMatch, so if you have an issue or dispute, you agree to raise it and try to resolve it with us informally. You can contact us with feedback and concerns here.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules; all disputes related to these Terms or the Services will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and you and TasteMatch consent to personal jurisdiction in these courts.

If you are a U.S. city, county, or state government entity, then this Section 14 does not apply to you. If you are a U.S. federal government entity, any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be governed by the laws of the United States of America without regard to its conflict of laws rules. To the extent permitted by federal law, the laws of Delaware (other than its conflict of law rules) will apply in the absence of applicable federal law. All disputes related to these Terms or the Services will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the revised Terms and update the Effective Date at the top of this page. If the changes, in our sole discretion, are material, we may also notify you by sending an email to the address associated with your Account (if you have chosen to provide an email address) or by otherwise providing you with notice through our Services. By continuing to access or use the Services on or after the Effective Date of the revised Terms, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop accessing and using our Services before the changes become effective.

15. Additional Terms

Because we offer a variety of Services, you may be asked to agree to additional terms, policies, guidelines, or rules before using a specific product or service offered by TasteMatch (collectively, “Additional Terms“). All Additional Terms are incorporated by this reference into, and made a part of, these Terms, and to the extent any Additional Terms conflict with these Terms, the Additional Terms govern with respect to your use of the corresponding Services.

If you purchase a TasteMatch subscription, you must also agree to the TasteMatch Subsciption Agreement.

16. Termination

You may terminate these Terms at any time and for any reason by deleting your Account and discontinuing use of all Services. If you stop using the Services without deactivating your Account, your Account may be deactivated due to prolonged inactivity.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we may suspend or terminate your Account or ability to access or use the Services at any time for any or no reason, including for violating these Terms or our Community Guidelines.

The following sections will survive any termination of these Terms or of your Account: 5 (Your Content), 7 (Things You Cannot Do), 11 (Indemnity), 12 (Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability), 13 (Governing Law and Venue), 16 (Termination), and 17 (Miscellaneous).

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your access to and use of the Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. If any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may freely assign any of our rights and obligations under these Terms.
