- APP LICENSE GRANT. Cafeteria grants you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right and license to access, install and use the App on a compatible Apple Inc. (“Apple”) branded product that runs the iOS operating system software provided by Apple (e.g., an iPhone or iPad) and is owned or controlled by you (each, an “Apple iOS Device”), for your own personal use, strictly in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable usage rules that relate to your Apple iOS Device on which you access, install or use the App (“Usage Rules”).
- TABLE PARTICIPATION AND SUBMITTED MATERIALS. You agree that you will not respond to table questions for which you are not within the relevant demographic. If you submit any responses, information, creative works, ideas, feedback, suggestions, concepts, methods, systems, designs, plans, techniques or other materials to us (“Submitted Materials”), such as via the App or communications with us, you hereby assign to us all right, title and interest in and to all such Submitted Materials, including any derivatives or improvements thereof. You understand and agree that the Submitted Materials will be shared in both aggregated and non-aggregated form with third parties, and by submitting Submitted Materials you are consenting to and directing Cafeteria to share those materials with Cafeteria’s partners, including consumer brand companies. By submitting, posting, uploading or sending Submitted Materials to us or the App, you represent and warrant that (i) the Submitted Materials are original to you, that no other party has any rights thereto, and that any “moral rights” in Submitted Materials have been and are hereby waived, and (ii) the opinions, views, comments and feedback you provide in response to questions are and will be your own and will be truthful and candid. You hereby irrevocably waive and release us from any and all claims that we or our licensees or sublicensees have used the Submitted Materials that you provide to us without your permission. We cannot be, and are not, responsible for maintaining any Submitted Materials that you provide to us, and we may delete or destroy any such Submitted Materials at any time in our sole discretion.
-
ACCOUNT AND LOGIN.
- To access certain features or areas of the App, you may be required to provide personal and/or demographic information as part of a site registration or log-in process. In addition, certain features of the App are only available to our authorized users, and to access those areas of the App you will be required to log in by entering your mobile phone number or email address and entering in the one-time password or confirmation code sent to you as verification.
- You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the applicable registration or log-in form, and you are responsible for keeping such information up-to-date (this includes your contact information, so that we can reliably contact you). The information you submit must describe you (you may not impersonate another person or entity), and you may not sell, share or otherwise transfer your account information.
- You are responsible for all activity occurring when the App is accessed through your account, whether authorized by you or not. Therefore, if you create an account, be sure to protect the security of your mobile phone number, the device(s) that receive text messages to your phone number or are otherwise linked to your phone number, or email address that you use to log into the App, and the one-time passwords or confirmation codes that you receive from us. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to do so.
-
PAYMENT AND INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS.
- You may be eligible to earn payments for responding to certain questions at tables within the App that are designated as paid tables. The amount that can be earned for answering questions at a paid table will be disclosed through a push notification and/or the “menu” for the specific table. If no such amount is expressly disclosed, then responses to questions will not earn any payments. A menu includes the following information: (i) when the table is due (i.e., the time by which the questions for that table need to be completely responded to in order to be eligible to earn the associated payment (no payments will be earned for late responses)), and (ii) the amount that will be earned for complete responses to the questions provided before the due date. All responses to table questions will be reviewed by us for responsiveness and completeness to determine eligibility for payment. Answers that are deemed, in our sole discretion, to be insufficiently responsive or incomplete will not be eligible for payment.
- All payment amounts that you earn for timely responses to table questions that we have confirmed are valid, responsive and complete will be indicated in your balance on your App account. All amounts will be earned and paid only in United States Dollars.
- You may transfer your App balance to your external account in any amount of $10 or greater. We reserve the right to limit the frequency of transfers or delay or suspend transfers if we suspect fraud or violation of this Agreement.
- Transfers will be made through a third-party service provider (“Payment Processor”), to which you will be required to indicate a form of payment selected from their available options and provide the details of the external account to which you wish to have the transfer made. All amounts sent to the transfer details you have most recently provided to the Payment Processor at the time payment is submitted for processing will be deemed to have been paid to you. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your payment details are up to date at all times, and you hereby represent and warrant that the payment details you provide are for an account that is owned by you. Without limiting Section 22, you acknowledge that the Payment Processor is not affiliated with us, and you agree that any issues you experience with the Payment Processor or the Payment Processor’s services, apps or websites shall be between you and the Payment Processor only, that your use thereof shall be at your sole risk, and that we and our affiliates will not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.
- You acknowledge and agree that if your responses to table questions are not responsive to the question asked or otherwise violate this Agreement, you do not satisfy the requirements to be an authorized user of the App as set forth in this Agreement or to participate in a particular table, you will not be entitled to payment and we may revoke your access to and use of the App. We reserve the right to require repayment from you of amounts transferred to you in the event of fraudulent conduct or intentional misuse of the App.
- You are solely responsible for reporting and paying all taxes that may be applicable to payments that you receive from us.
- You acknowledge and agree that you are not an employee of Cafeteria or any third party on whose behalf table questions are asked, and you will not be entitled to any compensation or benefits as such.
- PERSONAL INFORMATION AND PRIVACY NOTICE. As a condition of your right and license to use the App hereunder, you consent to the Cafeteria Privacy Notice, which can be viewed by tapping on “Privacy Notice” in the Settings menu of the App (the “Privacy Notice”). We may monitor, record, collect and use information from and about you through the App, and share such information with third parties, as set forth in the Privacy Notice.

BINDING ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND JURY TRIAL.
- Purpose. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and us or any of our affiliates regarding the App or any service thereon, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Section (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced. If you have a Dispute with us or any affiliate of ours or any of our or their officers, directors, employees or agents that cannot be resolved through negotiation within the time frame described in the “Notice of Dispute” clause below, other than those matters listed in the “Exclusions from Arbitration” clause below, you and the entity that you have a Dispute with agree to seek resolution of the Dispute only through arbitration of that Dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section, and not litigate any Dispute in court. Arbitration means that the Dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury.
- Exclusions from Arbitration. YOU AND WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM FILED BY YOU OR BY US OR BY OUR AFFILIATE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.
- Right to Opt Out of Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver within 30 Days.

- Informally Through Negotiation. You agree to negotiate resolution of the Dispute in good faith for no less than 60 days after you provide notice of the Dispute, unless the Dispute is resolved within 60 days. If we or our affiliate with which you have a Dispute do/does not resolve your Dispute within 60 days from receipt of notice of the Dispute, you, us or our affiliate with which you have a Dispute may pursue your claim in arbitration pursuant to the terms in this Section 19.
- Class Action Waiver. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LEGAL ACTION, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE ENTITY WITH WHICH YOU HAVE A DISPUTE SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO DO SO IN WRITING FOLLOWING INITIATION OF THE ARBITRATION.
- Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding/Selection of Arbitrator. If you or the entity you have a Dispute with elect to resolve your Dispute through arbitration, the party initiating the arbitration proceeding may initiate it with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com. The terms of this Section govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the arbitration organization selected by the parties.
- Arbitration Procedures. Because the software and/or service provided to you by the entity you have a Dispute with concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, applicable federal or state law may also apply to the substance of any Disputes. For claims of less than $100,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“Supplementary Procedures”) shall apply including the schedule of arbitration fees set forth in Section C-8 of the Supplementary Procedures; for claims over $100,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and relevant fee schedules for non-class action proceedings shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Further, if your claims do not exceed $100,000 and you provided notice to and negotiated in good faith with the entity you had a Dispute with as described above, if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator, in addition to any rights to recover the same under controlling state or federal law afforded to the entity you have a Dispute with or you. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
- Location of Arbitration. You or the entity you have a Dispute with may initiate arbitration in either New York County, New York or the county in which you reside. In the event that you select the county of your residence, the entity you have a Dispute with may transfer the arbitration to New York County, New York in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location as determined by the arbitrator.
- COURT JURISDICTION AND VENUE. ANY DISPUTE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION AND NOT INITIATED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT WILL BE LITIGATED BY EITHER PARTY IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR, IF SUCH COURT WOULD NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER, THEN ONLY IN A NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, CITY OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THESE COURTS AND AGREES NOT TO COMMENCE ANY LEGAL ACTION UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY OTHER COURT OR FORUM. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, CITY OF NEW YORK, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN SUCH COURTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
- ENTIRE AGREEMENT; NO WAIVER. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of you and Cafeteria with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all previous agreements, whether electronic, written or oral, between you and Cafeteria with respect to such subject matter. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. No waiver by Cafeteria of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.

Cafeteria therefore reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update App Content at any time without notice. Cafeteria does not, however, guarantee whether or when any errors, inaccuracies or omissions will be corrected.

- ENFORCEMENT. Cafeteria reserves the right to (but does not assume any obligation to) investigate and take appropriate legal action against anyone who violates any of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, by barring violators from use of the App and App Content and pursuing civil, criminal or injunctive redress.
- SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, void or otherwise unenforceable, you and we nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
- TERMINATION. Cafeteria reserves the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to you (including, without limitation, your right to access and use the App and App Content) immediately, with or without notice to you, for any reason or no reason. Sections 2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.7, 5, 7, 10, and 12-26 (inclusive), shall survive any termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect thereafter in perpetuity.
- THIS AGREEMENT MAY CHANGE FROM TIME TO TIME. Cafeteria reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, modify, alter or otherwise update this Agreement at any time. When Cafeteria does so, Cafeteria will let you know by making the updated Agreement available on the App. Such updates will be applicable to you and your use of the App upon any further use by you of the App after the updated Agreement has been made available on the App. Your use of the App following any such update constitutes your agreement to follow and be bound by the Agreement as modified.
