Effective: June 25, 2023

These terms and conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of Zesto’s mobile and web-based dietary restriction and restaurant ingredient platform. All services provided by Zesto, including the services, information, features and functionality offered through our websites at www.zesto.io (the "Website") and our mobile device application, including our mobile web-based application at https://app.zesto.io, (“the Application”) are referred to herein as the “Service”. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. THESE TERMS AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES, AND OBLIGATIONS. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, THEN YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO USE OUR SERVICE. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time without incurring any liability or obligation. See below under the heading “Modification of The Service and Terms” for more information. The personal information you provide through the Service will be collected, used, managed and disclosed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

OUR ROLE

We provide a way for you to access ingredient information (“Ingredient Information”) from third party restaurants (“Restaurants”) by submitting a request for Ingredient Information (“Request”) to Zesto. By helping you access Ingredient Information from Restaurants, we help you avoid consuming ingredients or groups of ingredients (e.g., diets, class of vegetables, family of flowering plants, etc.) that may have harmful or negative mental or physical effects on you if consumed (“Dietary Restrictions”), when consuming food or beverages offered for sale by Restaurants (“Menu Items”). Zesto relies on Restaurants to provide accurate Ingredient Information for food and beverages offered for sale. Zesto does not operate any Restaurants featured on our Application or Website, and cannot guarantee the accuracy of Ingredient Information provided by Restaurants. Zesto is not responsible for the quality of Ingredient Information available through the Service, that is the sole responsibility of the Restaurant. As such, to ensure your safety, we recommend making Restaurants aware of your Dietary Restrictions before, during, and after ordering any Menu Items, and before consuming any Menu Items, in addition to any other protocols you typically follow when consuming food or beverages purchased from Restaurants to ensure your safety.

SIGNING UP FOR THE SERVICE

You have to be at least the age of majority or older in your jurisdiction of residence in order to use the Service. If you reside in a jurisdiction that restricts the use of the Service because of your age, or restricts the ability to enter into contracts such as this one due to age, you must abide by such age limits and you must not use the Service. By using the Service, you are entering into a contract with Zesto under these Terms. In order to be able to use the Service, you first need to sign-up with Zesto. When signing-up, you are obligated to provide Zesto with certain personal information, including your mobile telephone number, email address, Dietary Restrictions, and payment card data. Upon successfully signing-up with Zesto, Zesto will provide you with a personal account, accessible to you with a password of your choice. You warrant that the information you provide to Zesto is accurate and complete and that you will keep the information you have provided to Zesto current through the Service. Zesto is entitled at all times to verify the information that you have provided and to refuse use of the Service without providing reasons. In connection with your use of the Service, Zesto may send you electronic service messages. These electronic messages may be sent for various reasons, including to provide a receipt for payments of the Service, Request confirmations, for security purposes (e.g. verifying that your smartphone is connected to the phone number you entered upon registration) and for issues related to a Request you placed. For information about promotional and marketing messages, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

MAKING A REQUEST

The Service allows you to send Requests to Zesto for Ingredient Information for one or multiple Restaurants, and one or multiple Menu Items. Once a Request is submitted, Zesto will contact the Restaurant(s) during non-busy hours to obtain Ingredient Information and provide you with a summary of the Ingredient Information and other relevant information (the “Summary Report”) to help you decide whether Menu Items from one or multiple Restaurants are safe for you to consume. Zesto has the sole and complete discretion to accept or reject each Request, even if a Request has already been accepted. Zesto will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if your Request is rejected for any reason. Your Request may be rejected at any time because the Restaurant is too busy, the Restaurant cannot guarantee your safety, Ingredient Information is not available, or for any other reason. Because Zesto relies on Restaurants to provide accurate Ingredient Information, Zesto cannot guarantee the accuracy of Ingredient Information contained within the Summary Report. If you choose to consume any Menu Items for which Zesto has provided you with a Summary Report, you do so at your own risk. If you have any issues with a Request or any information contained within any of your Summary Reports, you may contacting us directly and we will assist you in resolving your issue. We cannot guarantee that we can resolve any complaint or issue you have because resolution may be dependent on assistance from the Restaurant. If we are unable to assist you in resolving a complaint, you may need to address it directly with the Restaurant. Zesto has no obligation to compensate you for any dispute you may have with any Restaurant.

PROMOTIONS AND REWARDS

Zesto may, in Zesto's sole discretion, provide offers, programs and promotions (“Promos”) that allow you to obtain account credits, reward points, or other features or benefits related to the Services and/or a third party provider's services (collectively, “Promo Benefits”). Promos may be subject to additional terms and conditions that Zesto establishes from time to time.

New users may also be required to provide us with information, such as frequently visited Restaurants and previously or recently consumed dishes or beverages, before being eligible for any Promo offer and the Promo Benefits. Additional terms and conditions specific to new user Promos may be specified by Zesto from time to time. Zesto reserves the right to delay delivery of Promo Benefits pending verification that a user has complied with the terms of the Promo, including verification of the user's identity. Zesto users that make a referral code available to others must not make any false or misleading representations related to Zesto or the benefits a new user may receive upon signing-up for Zesto. Zesto reserves the right to deduct or cancel Promo Benefits in the event that Zesto determines or believes that the use or redemption of the Promo was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable Promo terms or these Terms. Account credits provided by Zesto, whether as a Promo Benefit, through the redemption of rewards points or otherwise provided by Zesto through any means, have no cash value and will only apply in the local currency and are not transferable. If a purchase on Zesto exceeds the account credit value in your account, the remaining balance will be charged to the registered credit card. Account credits may be cancelled and removed from your account. Unless otherwise specified in the particular Promo, account credits are subject to cancellation by Zesto at any time and may be removed from your account at Zesto’s discretion. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Zesto reserves the right to cancel and/or expire any rewards points in your account after one year of account inactivity.
