Terms of Use

By creating an account, accepting an invitation, joining a Lunch Loop, or using the service, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Lunch Loop.

You must be at least 13 years old and able to form a binding agreement where you live. If you use Lunch Loop for an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms for it.

Lunch Loop currently uses Google Sign-In. Keep your Google account secure and do not share it. Invitations and short join codes are single-use and may expire; do not publish or misuse them.

A signed-in person without an active Lunch Loop may create a loop and invite their crew. A Lunch Loop owner manages their loop’s roster, invitations, home search area, restaurant database, notifications, exports, ownership transfer, and archive choices. A loop is designed for 2–6 people. Each account may own up to the current site-wide active-loop limit, which is initially four and may change as the service grows.

A member may ask the loop owner to remove them from a loop, or contact us for help. Removing someone from a loop ends future access but does not automatically delete their Lunch Loop account or erase the loop’s historical record. Self-service personal-data export and account deletion are currently unavailable while we review those workflows; contact support@lunchloop.app for an information or deletion request. Owners may remove members, archive a loop, or transfer ownership. We may suspend or end access when necessary to protect the service, comply with law, or address abuse.

You are responsible for the display names, restaurants, feedback, notes, and other content you submit. Do not submit unlawful, harmful, deceptive, infringing, or confidential information you do not have permission to share.

You keep ownership of your content. You grant Lunch Loop a limited right to host, process, display, and share it with the members of the relevant loop solely to operate and improve the service. Do not use Lunch Loop to scrape, copy, or build a public restaurant directory from third-party data.

Restaurant information, hours, availability, ratings, maps, and directions are provided for convenience only. They may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Lunch Loop does not make reservations and does not guarantee a restaurant’s hours, food, price, accessibility, allergy safety, availability, or suitability. Confirm important details directly with the restaurant.

Your use of Google Maps and Google Places features in Lunch Loop is subject to the Google Terms of Service, the Google Maps Additional Terms of Service, and the Google Privacy Policy. Google Maps Platform attribution must remain intact.

Google Sign-In, Google Maps Platform, Supabase, Vercel, Resend, and optional Discord notifications are provided by third parties. Their availability and policies are outside Lunch Loop’s control. A loop owner is responsible for using a Discord webhook only in a server and channel they are authorized to manage. When Discord notifications are enabled, selected decision events—including member display names, restaurant names, scheduled dates/times, and pick or veto activity—are copied to that Discord channel.

You may not interfere with Lunch Loop, bypass access controls or rate limits, probe for vulnerabilities, introduce malicious code, impersonate others, harvest data, use the service for spam or unlawful activity, or use Google Maps/Places content in a way that violates applicable Google terms.

Lunch Loop is provided as a private-crew service and may change, pause, or end as the service evolves. We may change features, limits, or these terms. We will post the new effective date here and give additional notice when a change is material.

To the extent allowed by law, Lunch Loop is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the service will always be available, accurate, secure, or uninterrupted.

To the extent allowed by law, Lunch Loop and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, restaurant costs, or decisions made by a group. If liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of $25 or the amount you paid Lunch Loop in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These terms are governed by the laws of Indiana, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where your local law requires otherwise. Before starting a formal dispute, contact us at support@lunchloop.app and allow a reasonable opportunity to help resolve the issue.
