Please read these terms carefully before using NoNeed
Last Updated: February 2026By accessing, downloading, installing, or using our platform and any associated services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the company. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you must immediately discontinue use of our application and services. Your continued use of the platform following any updates or modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account and use our services. By using our platform, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement. If you are using our services on behalf of a business or entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. We reserve the right to request proof of age or identity at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts that do not meet eligibility requirements.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, including your password, and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to: (a) provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration; (b) maintain and promptly update your account information; (c) notify us immediately of any unauthorized access or security breach; (d) ensure that you log out of your account at the end of each session. You acknowledge that the company will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations. Any fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity may be grounds for immediate termination of your account at our sole discretion, without refund or compensation.
Our platform facilitates connections between users and independent third-party service providers, including but not limited to restaurants, food vendors, property hosts, vehicle rental providers, delivery personnel, and other merchants (collectively, "Service Providers"). These Service Providers are independent contractors and are not employees, agents, or representatives of the company. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the quality, safety, legality, or availability of services provided by these third parties. Any contract for services is solely between you and the Service Provider. The company acts solely as an intermediary platform and disclaims all liability for any acts, omissions, errors, representations, warranties, breaches, negligence, or misconduct of any Service Provider.
Menu items, product descriptions, images, videos, and other content displayed on our platform are provided by Service Providers and are for informational purposes only. While we strive to ensure accuracy, we do not guarantee that descriptions, photographs, videos, pricing, availability, ingredients, nutritional information, or allergen warnings are complete, accurate, or current. Actual products may vary from images shown. Food photography and videos are representative and may show serving suggestions or garnishes not included with the actual item. Users with food allergies, dietary restrictions, or health concerns should contact Service Providers directly before placing orders. The company assumes no liability for any adverse reactions, allergies, or health issues resulting from food consumption.
Our platform may offer live streaming features allowing Service Providers (such as chefs, hosts, or vendors) and eligible Creators to broadcast content in real-time. By participating in live streams, either as a broadcaster or viewer, you agree to comply with our community guidelines and applicable laws. Live stream content is provided "as is" and we do not pre-screen, monitor, or endorse any live content. Broadcasters are solely responsible for the content they stream and must ensure compliance with food safety regulations, intellectual property rights, and applicable broadcasting laws. We reserve the right to terminate or suspend live streaming privileges for any user who violates these Terms or community guidelines. Eligible Creators (as defined in Section 15A) may unlock live-streaming features upon meeting the follower threshold published by NoNeed from time to time and may receive virtual gifts from viewers, subject in full to Section 15A and the Community Guidelines.
Our platform offers virtual gifts, digital items, coins, tokens, or other in-app purchases that users may send to content creators during live streams or other interactive features. BY PURCHASING VIRTUAL GIFTS OR DIGITAL ITEMS, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (a) All purchases of virtual gifts, coins, tokens, and digital items are FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE under any circumstances; (b) Virtual items have no monetary value outside our platform and cannot be exchanged, transferred, or redeemed for cash or real-world currency; (c) Virtual gifts sent to content creators cannot be reversed, recalled, or refunded once delivered; (d) The company reserves the right to modify, limit, or discontinue virtual items at any time without prior notice or compensation; (e) Unused virtual currency may expire as specified in our policies. You assume all risk associated with the purchase and use of virtual items. Conversion of virtual gifts into Creator earnings, payout eligibility, and any related forfeiture or clawback are governed exclusively by Section 15A (Creator Earnings & Referral Commission Program).
Prices for products and services are set by Service Providers and are subject to change without notice. While we strive to display accurate pricing, errors may occur. In the event of a pricing error, we reserve the right to cancel or refuse orders placed at the incorrect price, even after confirmation. Service fees, delivery fees, taxes, and other charges may apply to your order and will be disclosed before checkout. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge your designated payment method for all fees associated with your transactions. You are responsible for ensuring that your payment information is accurate and current. Disputed charges must be reported within thirty (30) days of the transaction date.
Estimated delivery times, arrival windows, and pickup times displayed on our platform are approximations only and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary due to factors beyond our control, including but not limited to traffic conditions, weather, order volume, Service Provider preparation time, and driver availability. We shall not be liable for any delays in delivery or failure to deliver. For temperature-sensitive items such as food, the user assumes responsibility for the condition of items upon delivery if the user is not available to receive the order at the designated time and location. Claims regarding missing, incorrect, or damaged items must be reported within a reasonable timeframe as specified in our policies.
When making reservations or bookings through our platform (including restaurant reservations, property rentals, vehicle rentals, or other scheduled services), you agree to: (a) honor your reservation and arrive at the scheduled time; (b) provide accurate party size and special requirements; (c) comply with the Service Provider's policies regarding cancellations, modifications, and no-shows. No-show fees, late cancellation fees, or penalties may apply as determined by individual Service Providers. We reserve the right to restrict or suspend booking privileges for users who repeatedly fail to honor reservations or who engage in abusive booking practices.
Rental services for properties and vehicles are subject to additional terms set by individual Service Providers, including but not limited to security deposits, insurance requirements, identification verification, age restrictions, and usage limitations. You agree to: (a) treat rented properties and vehicles with care and respect; (b) comply with all applicable laws and rental agreements; (c) return vehicles with the same fuel level and in the same condition as received; (d) report any damage, accidents, or issues immediately; (e) vacate rental properties by the agreed checkout time. You may be held financially responsible for damages, excessive cleaning, violations of rental terms, or unauthorized use beyond the rental period.
Payment Processing: Upon booking confirmation, your payment is captured immediately and held in escrow. Funds are released to hosts on a daily basis throughout your stay, starting from check-in date. Service fees (6%) and processing fees are retained by the platform at booking and are non-refundable.
Communication Requirement: All communication between guests and hosts must occur through the in-app chat. This creates a timestamped record for dispute resolution. Communications outside the platform may not be considered in disputes.
Guest Responsibilities: You agree to: (a) check in and check out at the times specified in your booking; (b) not exceed the maximum number of guests allowed; (c) follow all house rules specified in the listing; (d) report any property issues to the host via chat immediately upon discovery; (e) document the property condition at check-in and checkout with photos/videos; (f) leave the property in a reasonably clean condition.
Host Inspection & Damage Claims: After checkout, hosts have 48 hours to inspect the property and submit any damage claims. You will be notified via the app and have 48 hours to approve or dispute any claim. Failure to respond within 48 hours authorizes NoNeed to charge the claimed amount from your security deposit or saved payment method. The charge is based on the deductible amount (if the property has protection) or the full damage amount.
Early Checkout: Either party may request early checkout via chat. Hosts may propose early checkout with or without refund. You may accept, dispute, or escalate to NoNeed Support. Daily payment releases continue during any dispute unless NoNeed Support intervenes.
Property Protection: It is the host's responsibility to maintain adequate property protection or insurance. NoNeed does not provide property insurance. The deductible amount (if applicable) is displayed during booking.
For extended stays, hosts may require tenant screening. By submitting a tenant application, you consent to the collection and processing of: date of birth, Social Security Number (last 4 digits), employment information, rental history, references, and credit/background check (with separate explicit consent). This information is used solely for tenant screening and is retained for 30 days after the host's decision. Background check results are shared with hosts as pass/fail only, not full reports.
Hosts or NoNeed may require identity verification documents before, during, or after booking confirmation. Required documents may include government-issued ID, profile photo, proof of address, proof of income, vehicle registration (for parking), visa/travel documents, or other documents reasonably necessary for verification, regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution. Failure to provide requested documents may result in booking cancellation or restriction of platform access. NoNeed reserves the right to request additional documentation at any time if suspicious activity is detected or a dispute arises.
INTERMEDIARY ROLE: NoNeed operates as a technology platform connecting guests with independent property hosts. We do not own, operate, manage, or control the properties listed on our platform. All property listings, descriptions, amenities, house rules, and cancellation policies are provided by hosts and are their sole responsibility.
NO GUARANTEE OF ACCURACY: While we encourage accurate listings, NoNeed does not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, safety, or legality of any listing, property condition, host identity, or guest identity. Photos, descriptions, and amenity lists may not reflect current conditions. You are encouraged to communicate with hosts and conduct your own due diligence before booking.
NO LIABILITY FOR HOST/GUEST CONDUCT: NoNeed is not responsible for the acts, omissions, conduct, speech, disputes, or negligence of hosts or guests. This includes but is not limited to: property damage, theft, personal injury, discrimination, harassment, misrepresentation, breach of rental agreements, or failure to provide advertised amenities or services.
VERIFICATION LIMITATIONS: Identity verification, background checks, and document collection are conducted as reasonable measures to reduce fraud and enhance safety. However, such verification does not constitute a guarantee of any person's identity, character, background, creditworthiness, or trustworthiness. NoNeed disclaims all liability for actions taken by verified users.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION: NoNeed may assist in mediating disputes between hosts and guests at our sole discretion. Any resolution, refund, or credit offered by NoNeed is provided as a goodwill gesture and does not constitute admission of liability or create any obligation for similar treatment in other cases. NoNeed's determination in disputes is final and binding on the platform, though parties retain their rights to pursue legal remedies independently.
The following terms apply to the purchase and use of event tickets through the NoNeed platform.
Ticket Types: Event organizers set ticket types, prices, quantities, and availability. Tickets grant admission to physical events at specified venues and are scanned via QR code at entry.
Age Restrictions: Events may have age restrictions (18+, 21+, etc.). You are responsible for verifying age eligibility before purchase. No refund will be provided if you are denied entry due to age verification failure at the venue.
Non-Transferable Tickets: Unless the organizer has enabled transfers, tickets are non-transferable. Transferred tickets cannot be refunded by the original purchaser.
Refund Policies: Event organizers set their own refund policies (Full Refund with cutoff date, or No Refunds). Service fees and processing fees are never refundable, even if the event is cancelled by the organizer.
Event organizers are solely responsible for: (a) accurately describing their events, venues, performers, and schedules; (b) fulfilling advertised entertainment and amenities; (c) managing event logistics, safety, and crowd control; (d) complying with all applicable laws, permits, and venue requirements; (e) handling customer inquiries about event details; (f) setting appropriate refund and transfer policies.
INTERMEDIARY PLATFORM: NoNeed operates as a technology platform connecting event attendees with independent event organizers. We do not organize, produce, host, manage, or control any events listed on our platform. All event details, descriptions, venue information, schedules, performers, lineups, and policies are provided by event organizers and are their sole responsibility.
NO GUARANTEE OF EVENT QUALITY: NoNeed does not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of event listings, the quality or occurrence of events, the identity or legitimacy of organizers or performers, the safety or suitability of venues, or the fulfillment of advertised entertainment. Event photos, descriptions, and lineup information may change without notice. You are encouraged to research events and organizers independently before purchasing.
NO LIABILITY FOR ORGANIZER CONDUCT: NoNeed is not responsible for the acts, omissions, conduct, speech, or negligence of event organizers, venue operators, performers, staff, security, or other attendees. This includes but is not limited to: event cancellations, postponements, schedule changes, performer no-shows, venue changes, overcrowding, personal injury, property damage, theft, discrimination, harassment, or failure to provide advertised entertainment, amenities, or services.
VERIFICATION LIMITATIONS: Event organizer identity verification and account approval are conducted as reasonable measures to reduce fraud. However, such verification does not constitute a guarantee of any organizer's identity, legitimacy, financial stability, or ability to deliver the promised event. NoNeed disclaims all liability for actions taken by verified organizers.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION: NoNeed may assist in mediating disputes between buyers and organizers at our sole discretion based on available evidence and platform records. Any resolution, refund, or credit offered by NoNeed is provided as a goodwill gesture and does not constitute admission of liability or create any obligation for similar treatment in other cases. NoNeed's determination in disputes is final and binding on the platform, though parties retain their rights to pursue legal remedies independently.
DOCUMENTATION REQUESTS: NoNeed reserves the right to request additional documentation from buyers or organizers at any time for identity verification, fraud prevention, regulatory compliance, chargeback defense, or dispute resolution. Failure to provide requested documentation may affect dispute outcomes, refund eligibility, or result in account restrictions.
The following terms apply to all food and beverage orders placed through the NoNeed platform, including pickup, delivery, and dine-in orders.
Pickup Orders: You place an order through the app and collect it from the restaurant location. Orders are prepared upon vendor acceptance. You are responsible for picking up your order during the designated pickup window.
Delivery Orders: You place an order through the app and it is delivered to your specified address by an independent delivery driver. Delivery fees apply and are displayed before checkout. You must provide accurate delivery address and be available to receive your order.
Dine-In Orders: You pre-order food with a table reservation at the restaurant. Options include "Prepare Before Arrival" (food ready when you arrive) or "Prepare After Arrival" (food prepared after you're seated). Table number, party size, and reservation time are required.
Order Acceptance: Placing an order constitutes an offer to purchase. Vendors have sole discretion to accept or reject orders based on availability, capacity, or other factors. Your payment is authorized but not captured until the vendor accepts your order.
Menu Pricing: Menu prices are set by restaurant vendors and may differ from in-store pricing. Prices may change without notice. NoNeed does not control vendor pricing.
Service Fee: A platform service fee is added to all orders based on a tiered structure: $1.99 flat fee for orders under $55, 3.5% for orders $55-$99.99, and 4% for orders $100+. This fee is included in refund calculations based on order status at time of cancellation.
Payment Authorization: Your payment is authorized at checkout but NOT captured until order completion (vendor marks ready for pickup/dine-in, or driver marks delivered for delivery orders). Early cancellations release the authorization without any charge.
Delivery Fee: Delivery orders include a dynamic delivery fee based on distance and demand. Delivery fees are fully refundable if you switch to pickup before driver picks up, or 100% refunded if cancelled before driver pickup, 50% refunded after pickup. Cancellation is not allowed once driver is on the way.
Dynamic Pricing: Vendors may offer flash deals, happy hour pricing, or dynamic pricing that varies by time of day or demand. Promotional pricing is at vendor discretion and may end without notice.
Payment Escrow: Payment is held in escrow until order completion. Vendors receive payment only after you receive your order (picked up, delivered, or served).
Refund amounts are determined by order status at the time of cancellation. Payment is authorized but not captured until completion, so early cancellations release the hold without charge:
Pending (Not Accepted): Customer or vendor cancellation → 100% refund (authorization released, no charge).
Confirmed (Within 2 min grace): Customer cancellation → 100% refund. Vendor cancellation → 100% refund.
Confirmed (After grace period): Customer cancellation → 70% refund (30% to restaurant for prep costs). Vendor cancellation → 100% refund.
Preparing (Kitchen Active): Customer cancellation → 50% refund (50% to restaurant). Vendor cancellation → 100% refund.
Ready (Food Prepared): Customer cancellation → 0% refund (100% to restaurant). Vendors cannot cancel at this stage.
No-Show: Failure to pick up or receive a ready order within the designated window results in no refund.
Delivery Orders - Additional Rules: For delivery orders, the above refund tiers apply to the food portion. The delivery fee has separate refund rules: 100% refund before driver picks up food, 50% refund after pickup, cancellation not allowed once driver is on the way to you.
Self-service cancellation is available through the app. Go to Journey → Active → tap order card → Cancel Order button (if eligible).
Independent Drivers: Delivery drivers are independent contractors, not employees of NoNeed or the restaurant vendor. NoNeed is not responsible for driver conduct, delays, or issues during transit.
Delivery Address: You are responsible for providing an accurate, accessible delivery address. Additional fees or order cancellation may result from incorrect addresses, gated communities without access codes, or inaccessible locations.
Switch to Pickup: You may convert a delivery order to pickup before the driver picks up the food. The delivery fee will be refunded to your original payment method.
Contactless Delivery: You may request contactless delivery through order notes. The driver will leave your order at the specified location and notify you upon completion.
Live Kitchen Streams: Restaurant vendors may broadcast live streams of their kitchen, food preparation, and menu items. You may place orders directly during live streams.
Gifts & Tips: Tips and virtual gifts sent during live streams are processed as gratuities to the vendor. Once delivered, gifts and tips are NON-REFUNDABLE. NoNeed may take a platform fee from gift transactions.
Add-On Requests: During ordering or live streams, you may request custom modifications or additional items. Vendors may send "Add-On Requests" with additional pricing that requires your acceptance before being added to your order.
Stream Content: NoNeed does not control, monitor, or endorse the content of vendor live streams. Vendors are solely responsible for their broadcast content and compliance with applicable laws.
Creator Referral Commissions: Buyers who place food orders through a Tagged Post or Tagged live-stream of a participating restaurant may generate a referral commission attributable to the originating Creator. Such commissions are governed exclusively by Section 15A (Creator Earnings & Referral Commission Program), including its rules on vesting upon successful order completion (delivered, picked-up, or dined-in), forfeiture upon cancellation or refund, and all eligibility, payout, and anti-fraud provisions.
INDEPENDENT VENDORS: All restaurant vendors are independent businesses, not employees or agents of NoNeed. Each vendor is solely responsible for food preparation, ingredient quality, food safety, hygiene practices, and compliance with local health regulations.
ALLERGENS & DIETARY RESTRICTIONS: NoNeed does not prepare food and cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation, cross-contamination prevention, or adherence to specific dietary requirements. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, you must communicate directly with the vendor before ordering. NoNeed is not liable for allergic reactions, food intolerance, or dietary issues.
FOOD QUALITY: NoNeed does not guarantee the taste, freshness, temperature, portion size, or quality of any food items. Menu descriptions, photos, and nutritional information are provided by vendors and may not reflect actual items received.
HEALTH & SAFETY: You acknowledge that consuming food prepared by others involves inherent risks, including foodborne illness. NoNeed is not liable for any illness, injury, or adverse health effects resulting from food consumption.
INTERMEDIARY PLATFORM: NoNeed operates as a technology platform connecting customers with independent restaurant vendors and delivery drivers. We do not prepare, cook, package, or deliver food directly. We do not own, operate, or manage any restaurant or food preparation facility.
NO ENDORSEMENT: Listing on our platform does not constitute endorsement, verification, or recommendation of any vendor, menu item, or establishment. Vendor ratings and reviews reflect user opinions, not NoNeed assessments.
NO LIABILITY FOR VENDOR CONDUCT: NoNeed is not responsible for the acts, omissions, negligence, or misconduct of restaurant vendors, their employees, or delivery drivers. This includes but is not limited to: food quality issues, incorrect orders, missing items, late preparation, health code violations, discrimination, or failure to fulfill orders as described.
NO LIABILITY FOR DELIVERY: Delivery drivers are independent contractors. NoNeed is not responsible for delivery delays, food temperature upon arrival, spills or damage during transit, driver conduct, or accidents during delivery.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION: NoNeed may assist in mediating disputes between customers and vendors at our sole discretion. Any refund, credit, or resolution offered is a goodwill gesture and does not constitute admission of liability. NoNeed reserves the right to make final determinations in disputes, though parties retain their independent legal rights.
Users may submit reviews, ratings, photographs, videos, comments, and other content ("User Content") through our platform. By submitting User Content, you grant the company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display such content. You represent that: (a) you own or have the necessary rights to submit the User Content; (b) your User Content is truthful, accurate, and based on genuine experience; (c) your User Content does not violate any third-party rights or applicable laws. We reserve the right to remove, edit, or refuse to publish any User Content that violates these Terms, contains defamatory or fraudulent statements, or is otherwise objectionable. Fake reviews, review manipulation, or incentivized reviews are strictly prohibited.
Promotional offers, discount codes, loyalty programs, and referral bonuses are subject to specific terms and conditions, may be limited in quantity or duration, and may be modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Promotional offers: (a) are non-transferable and may not be sold or bartered; (b) cannot be combined with other offers unless expressly stated; (c) may be limited to one per user, household, or payment method; (d) may require minimum purchase amounts or specific payment methods. We reserve the right to void, cancel, or revoke any promotion, discount, or referral bonus that is obtained through fraudulent means, technical errors, or violation of promotional terms. Abuse of promotional programs may result in account termination and forfeiture of any accrued benefits.
This Section 15A governs the Creator Earnings & Referral Commission Program (the "Creator Program"), a separate, voluntary, revocable opportunity offered by the Company to eligible users ("Creators") to earn referral commissions and receive virtual gift earnings through their use of the platform's content and live-streaming features. Participation in the Creator Program is at the Company's sole discretion and is governed by these Terms in addition to any program-specific guidelines published from time to time. Nothing in this Section creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between the Company and any Creator. The Company may modify, suspend, or terminate the Creator Program, or any Creator's participation, at any time, for any reason or for no reason, without prior notice and without liability.
To participate in the Creator Program, a user must (a) maintain an account in good standing, (b) complete all identity, tax, and payout-account verification required by the Company and its third-party payment providers (including but not limited to Stripe Connect Express and Paystack), (c) reside and operate in a jurisdiction supported by the Company's payout providers, and (d) meet any minimum follower or activity thresholds the Company sets from time to time. The Company may impose additional eligibility requirements at its sole discretion, may decline any application without explanation, and may revoke eligibility at any time.
The Creator Program operates exclusively through content the Creator publishes on the platform that tags an active platform vendor (a "Tagged Post"). When a buyer accesses a tagged vendor through a Tagged Post and completes a qualifying transaction, a referral commission may be attributed to the Creator subject to the rules in this Section. The Company makes no representation that any Tagged Post will produce any earnings. Tagged Posts referencing vendors that are not, or cease to be, listed on the platform produce no earnings whatsoever. The Company has sole discretion over referral attribution logic, attribution windows, and the technical mechanism by which Tagged Posts are tracked, and may modify any of the foregoing at any time without notice.
Commission rates are tiered and determined by the Creator's verified follower count at the time the qualifying transaction is recorded. Current published rates are made available within the platform's Creator Earnings interface and are subject to change at the Company's sole discretion at any time, including retroactively for transactions not yet vested. The Company may, without limitation, (a) adjust any tier threshold, (b) adjust any commission percentage, (c) introduce, modify, or remove order-type categories (delivery, pickup, dine-in, or others), (d) cap maximum monthly or per-transaction commission amounts, (e) apply different rates to specific vendors, geographies, promotional periods, or campaigns, and (f) exclude specific transactions, vendors, or order types from commission eligibility. The Company is not obligated to publish advance notice of rate changes.
Commission amounts are recorded in a "pending" state at the time of order placement and become "available" for withdrawal only upon the Company's confirmation that the underlying transaction has been successfully completed — meaning, as applicable, (a) for delivery orders, successful delivery to the buyer, (b) for pickup orders, successful pickup by the buyer, or (c) for dine-in orders, successful in-restaurant fulfillment. Any order that is cancelled, refunded (in whole or in part), reversed, charged back, disputed, voided, fraudulently placed, or otherwise not successfully completed will result in the corresponding pending commission being reduced or removed in full, without recourse to the Creator. The Company is the sole judge of whether a transaction has been "successfully completed" for purposes of this Section. The Company may delay vesting for verification, fraud review, or any other reason, and may reverse previously vested amounts (including by deducting from future earnings or initiating clawback) where the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that earnings were obtained in violation of these Terms or were otherwise erroneously credited.
Eligible Creators meeting the follower threshold published by the Company from time to time may access live-streaming features and receive virtual gifts from viewers. Virtual gifts are purchased by viewers in accordance with Section 7 (Virtual Gifts & Digital Purchases), are non-refundable to the viewer, and are converted into Creator earnings at conversion rates the Company publishes and may modify at any time. The Company may withhold, reverse, or forfeit gift earnings in cases of fraud, chargeback, viewer-account compromise, manipulation, or violation of these Terms or the Community Guidelines. The Company may at any time impose limits on gift volumes, gift sources, or co-host (stage) participation, and may demonetize any live stream or class of streams at its sole discretion.
Withdrawals of available earnings are processed exclusively through the Company's designated third-party payment providers and are subject to (a) a minimum withdrawal threshold published by the Company (currently $10 USD or local-currency equivalent, subject to change without notice), (b) the Creator's completion of all KYC, tax, and bank-verification requirements imposed by such providers, (c) processing times set by such providers (typically 2–7 business days, but the Company makes no guarantees), and (d) any fees, currency conversion, or deductions imposed by such providers. The Company is not a bank, money transmitter, or payment processor and disclaims any liability for delays, failures, fees, or other actions of third-party payment providers. The Company may impose additional payout limits, holds, or review periods at its sole discretion, including but not limited to first-time withdrawals, unusually large balances, or accounts flagged for review.
Each Creator participates in the Creator Program solely as an independent contractor. No Creator is an employee, agent, partner, or representative of the Company. Creators are solely responsible for all taxes (including income tax, self-employment tax, value-added tax, and any other applicable taxes), tax filings, social-insurance contributions, business registrations, and regulatory compliance arising from their earnings under the Creator Program. The Company may, where required by law, issue tax forms (such as IRS Form 1099 in the United States once applicable thresholds are met) and may share Creator information with tax authorities as required. The Company makes no representation regarding the tax treatment of Creator earnings in any jurisdiction and provides no tax advice; Creators are advised to consult an independent tax professional.
Creators are strictly prohibited from, and will forfeit all related earnings (pending and available) and may have their accounts terminated for, any of the following: (a) placing or facilitating orders through their own Tagged Posts using their own accounts, family accounts, household accounts, or any account they control or coordinate with; (b) incentivizing, soliciting, or coordinating buyers to place orders for the purpose of generating commissions where such orders are intended to be cancelled, refunded, or otherwise not consumed in good faith; (c) using bots, scripts, automation, click-fraud, account farming, or any artificial means to inflate followers, post views, transactions, or attributed referrals; (d) misrepresenting any tagged vendor, dish, price, or experience; (e) tagging a vendor without a genuine relationship to the content; (f) using stolen, fraudulent, or compromised payment instruments in any related transaction; (g) coordinating with vendors to inflate, fabricate, or misclassify transactions; (h) circumventing follower-tier thresholds; (i) operating multiple Creator accounts; (j) violating any applicable law; or (k) any other conduct the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to be abusive, fraudulent, or contrary to the spirit of the Program. The Company may, at its sole discretion, freeze, claw back, deduct from future earnings, or permanently forfeit any earnings determined to have arisen from prohibited conduct, and the Company's determination is final.
The Company reserves the right, at any time and at its sole discretion, to (a) modify any term of the Creator Program, including but not limited to commission rates, tier thresholds, eligibility criteria, payout minimums, attribution rules, and supported jurisdictions; (b) suspend the Creator Program in whole or in part, temporarily or permanently; (c) terminate any individual Creator's participation in the Creator Program with or without cause and with or without notice; and (d) discontinue the Creator Program entirely. Upon termination of the Creator Program or any Creator's participation, the Company may, at its sole discretion, (i) honor or forfeit any pending or unvested earnings, (ii) require additional verification before releasing any available balance, or (iii) withhold payouts where required by law, dispute, or fraud investigation. No Creator has any vested right or expectation in continued participation, in any specific commission rate, or in any future earnings opportunity.
The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee, express or implied, regarding (a) the amount of earnings any Creator will or may receive, (b) the availability or performance of any vendor, transaction, or attribution mechanism, (c) the timing or success of any payout, (d) follower growth, content reach, or audience engagement, or (e) the continued availability of any feature relied upon for earnings. Any earnings examples, leaderboards, dashboards, or projections shown within the platform or in marketing materials are illustrative only and do not constitute a promise of future earnings. Each Creator participates entirely at their own risk and acknowledges that earnings may be zero.
In addition to and without limiting Section 16 (Limitation of Liability), the Company shall not be liable to any Creator for: (a) lost, delayed, miscalculated, or unattributed commissions; (b) loss of expected earnings due to vendor delisting, vendor unavailability, technical failure, attribution-system change, or modification of program terms; (c) any tax, regulatory, banking, or currency-conversion consequence of receiving Creator earnings; (d) any act or omission of any third-party payment provider; (e) any chargeback, refund, or reversal of an underlying transaction; or (f) any forfeiture of earnings arising from a determination of prohibited conduct. The Company's aggregate liability to any Creator under or in connection with the Creator Program shall not exceed the total amount of vested commissions actually paid to that Creator in the three (3) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or fifty United States Dollars ($50), whichever is lower.
Each Creator agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to (a) any breach by the Creator of these Terms, the Community Guidelines, or any program rule; (b) any content the Creator posts, including any Tagged Post or live-stream content; (c) any tax, regulatory, or licensing obligation of the Creator; (d) any claim by a vendor, viewer, buyer, or third party arising from the Creator's content, conduct, or attributed transactions; or (e) the Creator's violation of any applicable law or third-party right. This indemnification obligation survives termination of the Creator Program and the Creator's account.
Any dispute, question, or claim regarding the calculation, attribution, vesting, withholding, forfeiture, or payment of Creator earnings must be raised in writing to the Company within thirty (30) days of the relevant event, after which the Company's records and determinations are deemed final, conclusive, and binding. The Company will review timely disputes in good faith but is under no obligation to adjust any earnings. Any unresolved dispute is subject to Section 22 (Dispute Resolution & Arbitration).

Creators participating in the Creator Earnings & Referral Commission Program (Section 15A) must follow these standards in addition to all other Community Guidelines.

Violations result in earnings forfeiture and account action up to and including permanent termination.
HONEST TAGGING & AUTHENTIC CONTENT: Only tag a restaurant you have genuinely visited, ordered from, or have a real association with; Tag the actual restaurant the content is about, not a different one to chase higher earnings; Show the real food, real experience, and real prices — no misleading thumbnails, edited menus, or fabricated reviews; Do not tag a vendor solely to capture commission from someone else's audience; If a vendor is not on the platform, do not falsely claim that they are.
NO SELF-DEALING OR COLLUSION: Do not place orders against your own Tagged Posts using your own account, a family member's account, a household member's account, or any account you control or coordinate with; Do not arrange with friends, viewers, or accomplices to place commission-generating orders that are intended to be cancelled, refunded, or not consumed in good faith; Do not coordinate with vendors to fabricate, inflate, or misclassify transactions; Do not split a single household into multiple accounts to multiply commissions on the same purchases.

SPONSORSHIP & PAID PROMOTION DISCLOSURE: If a vendor or third party has paid you, given you free product, or otherwise compensated you (separately from the standard platform commission) to feature them in a Tagged Post or live stream, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose that arrangement in the content (for example: "#sponsored", "#ad", or a verbal disclosure on stream); Disclosure is required regardless of whether your jurisdiction's advertising law explicitly mandates it; Failure to disclose paid promotion is treated as misleading content and may result in earnings forfeiture and account action.
RESPECT FOR VENDORS, BUYERS & OTHER CREATORS: Do not publish defamatory, harassing, or knowingly false content about a vendor, employee, or other Creator; Do not encourage viewers to harass, brigade, or harm any vendor, buyer, or platform user; Do not attempt to poach a competitor Creator's audience using deceptive tactics; Do not impersonate another Creator, vendor, or any platform staff member.
