1Who can be a restaurant on Foodee
These terms apply between Appify (Pty) Ltd, trading as Foodee, of 7 San Sabastian Road, Ballito, 4420, South Africa, and your restaurant. They are in addition to Foodee's main Terms of Service, not instead of them.
You can have a restaurant account on Foodee if you're a real restaurant operating in South Africa, you have the authority to act for that restaurant, and you agree to these terms.
During Foodee's beta period, we sign up restaurants by hand — we'll meet you in person, set up your account, and make sure it works before your restaurant goes live. If you're not on the beta, you'll be on the waiting list until public launch.
2Your content
The specials, descriptions, photos, and other content you post on Foodee stay yours. By posting them, you give us permission to:
- Display them to diners in Foodee
- Show them in marketing materials about Foodee (with your restaurant's name credited)
- Cache them for performance and reliability
- Keep them around as long as your account is active
You can remove your content at any time. When you do, we remove it from Foodee within a reasonable time, but we may keep backup copies for up to 90 days for operational reasons.
3What you commit to
When you post on Foodee, you confirm:
- The specials you post are real and currently offered
- The prices, dishes, and timing are accurate
- The photos are yours or properly licensed
- You will honour the specials you post for the customers who arrive based on them
If a special isn't going to happen for some reason, take it down promptly.
4What you can't post
You won't use Foodee to post:
- Misleading information about dishes, prices, or availability
- Content that's not actually a food special (Foodee is for restaurant specials, not general advertising)
- Other businesses' content without permission
- Anything illegal under SA law
- Anything that misrepresents your restaurant or impersonates another
We may remove content that violates these rules, and in serious or repeated cases we may suspend or close your restaurant account.
5Foodee's role
We display your content honestly. We don't:
- Re-order results to favour any restaurant (no pay-to-rank, ever)
- Sell your customer data (we don't have individual customer data to sell)
- Insert ads alongside your content
- Take a commission on customer visits or transactions
If we ever change any of this (we don't intend to), we'd tell you well in advance.
6Fees during beta
During Foodee's beta period, restaurants pay nothing to list. There is no commission, no per-special fee, no subscription. We may introduce optional paid features for restaurants in the future — if we do, your access to the core free features won't be reduced, and we'll give you advance notice before any pricing changes.
7Account management
Your restaurant account is associated with your phone number (which is also your WhatsApp number, since we send sign-in codes via WhatsApp). The person who signs up has full authority to manage the account. If responsibility for your restaurant changes (new owner, new manager), or your phone number changes, email or message us so we can transfer or update the account properly — we'll verify in person where possible.
8Suspension and termination
We may suspend or close your account if:
- You repeatedly post misleading content
- You don't honour specials you've posted, leading to multiple customer complaints
- You use Foodee to harm diners or other restaurants
- You ask us to close it
- We close Foodee (we'd give as much notice as possible)
You can close your account at any time by emailing us.
9Disputes with diners
If a diner complains about your restaurant via Foodee, we'll let you know what they said. We try to facilitate fair resolution but aren't a tribunal — disputes are between you and the diner. If a pattern of complaints suggests a real problem, we may pause your account while we investigate.
10Liability
To the extent allowed by SA law, our liability to you for anything related to Foodee is limited to the fees you've paid us (during beta, R0).
This doesn't limit liability for things SA law doesn't allow us to limit.
11Governing law
These terms are governed by South African law and follow the same jurisdiction provisions as the main Terms of Service.
