Terms of use

These draft terms describe the intended use of the Sofra prototype. They are not a substitute for legal advice and should be replaced with terms prepared for the final business model and jurisdiction.

Information service

Sofra helps users discover restaurants using third-party place data. It is not a restaurant, booking agent, food-safety authority or guarantee of any business's quality, availability, pricing or suitability.

Restaurant information

Names, ratings, addresses, price levels, photographs, opening hours, amenities, phone numbers and websites may be supplied by Google Maps Platform or other attributed providers. Information can be incomplete, delayed or incorrect. Contact the restaurant before relying on important details.

Search rankings and collections

Results may be combined, deduplicated and sorted using rating, review volume, distance and search relevance. Collection names such as “Date night” or “By the water” describe search prompts; they are not guarantees or independent inspections.

Accounts and saved restaurants

You must provide accurate account information, keep your password secure and use only your own account. Saved restaurant IDs are associated with your account so the shortlist can remain available across devices. Saved items may still become unavailable if the account is deleted, the service changes or a third-party place identifier is withdrawn.

Restaurant claims

Submitting a claim form does not verify ownership, change a listing or create a commercial relationship. Sofra may request further evidence before accepting any owner-supplied information.

Acceptable use

Do not misuse the site, submit false ownership claims, attempt to bypass technical limits, scrape or republish third-party place content, interfere with the service or use forms to send spam or unlawful material.

Third-party services

Use of Google Maps, restaurant websites, Netlify and other linked services is also subject to those providers' terms. Sofra is not responsible for external websites or services.

Availability and changes

The prototype may change, be suspended or stop working without notice. Features, collections, search limits and commercial plans may be added, removed or revised.

Commercial launch

Before accepting payments, reservations or paid restaurant placements, add the operator's legal identity, payment terms, cancellation and refund rules, applicable consumer information and dispute provisions.
