TERMS OF SERVICE
BETTERCARTE LLC ("TUMMY")
Effective Date: March 16, 2026
IMPORTANT SAFETY DISCLAIMER — READ BEFORE USING TUMMY
Tummy is an informational tool only. It is NOT a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or direct communication with restaurant staff. If you have food allergies, intolerances, sensitivities, dietary restrictions, or ANY health condition affected by food, you MUST confirm ingredient and allergen information directly with the restaurant before consuming any food. Tummy does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or safety of any data displayed on the platform — including data displayed under the "Tummy Verified" designation. Restaurant menus, ingredients, suppliers, and preparation methods may change at any time without notice to Tummy. Cross-contamination risks, shared cooking equipment, shared preparation surfaces, and airborne allergen exposure CANNOT be fully captured by any digital platform. Tummy does not and cannot account for these risks. Additionally, Tummy uses artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems to generate content and match users with compatible dishes. These systems may produce errors, omissions, or inaccurate results. AI-generated matches and content are not a guarantee of safety or accuracy. YOUR RELIANCE ON TUMMY'S INFORMATION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY RELATED TO FOOD CONSUMPTION, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY.
Welcome to BetterCarte LLC ("BetterCarte," "Tummy," "we," "us," or "our"). BetterCarte LLC is a Delaware limited liability company with business operations in Texas and Florida. By accessing or using our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and BetterCarte LLC. Please read them carefully.
1. ELIGIBILITY
1.1. The Services are intended for users aged 16 and older. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years of age.
1.2. If you are between the ages of 16 and 18, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and consented to these Terms on your behalf and agrees to be bound by them. We may require verification of parental consent at any time.
1.3. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that a user is under 16, we will terminate the account and delete associated personal data promptly.
1.4. If you are a restaurant or business user, you represent that you have the authority to bind the entity you represent to these Terms.
1.5. By using the Services, you represent that you have not been previously suspended or removed from the Services.
2. PLATFORM ROLE AND CONTENT
2.1. Tummy is a technology platform that aggregates and displays restaurant menu, ingredient, allergen, and nutritional information. Tummy's role is strictly limited to organizing, presenting, and facilitating access to this information.
2.2. Tummy does not prepare, cook, serve, sell, deliver, or handle food. Tummy does not operate as a restaurant, food service establishment, healthcare provider, nutritionist, dietitian, or medical professional.
2.3. Restaurants are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, and lawfulness of the data they provide or that is attributed to them on the platform.
2.4. Tummy may also source allergen and menu information from publicly available data, restaurant-published menus, third-party databases, or other publicly accessible sources. This information is not independently verified by Tummy and is presented on an "as available" basis. Tummy makes no representation regarding the accuracy or currency of third-party sourced data.
2.5. Certain content on the platform, including but not limited to restaurant descriptions, informational summaries, dietary guidance, blog posts, and educational materials, may be generated, drafted, or assisted by artificial intelligence ("AI") systems. While Tummy reviews AI-generated content for quality and accuracy, such content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. AI-generated content is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to the same disclaimers as all other content on the platform.
2.6. The Services use AI-powered systems and algorithms to match users with dishes and restaurants based on their dietary profiles, preferences, and restrictions. These matching systems process ingredient and allergen data provided by restaurants or sourced from third parties and attempt to identify compatible options. Due to the nature of AI and algorithmic matching technology: (a) results may contain errors, false positives, or false negatives; (b) the system may fail to flag an allergen or ingredient that is present in a dish; (c) the system may incorrectly flag a dish as incompatible when it is in fact safe; (d) the system relies on the accuracy of underlying data, which Tummy does not independently verify; and (e) the system cannot account for cross-contamination, preparation variations, supplier changes, or other real-world factors not captured in the data. AI-based matching is a tool to assist your decision-making. It is not a guarantee of safety. You must always confirm ingredient and allergen information directly with the restaurant before consuming any food.
2.7. The inclusion of any restaurant on the platform does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or certification of that restaurant by Tummy.
3. TUMMY VERIFIED PROGRAM
3.1. Certain restaurants on the platform may display a "Tummy Verified" badge or designation. This indicates the following and nothing more:
(a) The restaurant has engaged directly with Tummy's structured onboarding and data collection process to provide detailed ingredient, sourcing, and preparation information for its menu items.
(b) The restaurant has reviewed and affirmatively confirmed the data displayed on the platform through Tummy's collection and review process.
(c) The data reflects what the restaurant represented to Tummy as of the date of its most recent confirmation or update.
3.2. The "Tummy Verified" badge does NOT mean, and shall not be construed to mean, that:
(a) Tummy has independently tested, analyzed, laboratory-verified, or audited any food, ingredient, allergen, or nutritional claim.
(b) Tummy guarantees or warrants the accuracy, completeness, currency, or safety of the restaurant's data.
(c) Tummy has inspected the restaurant's kitchen, preparation areas, suppliers, storage facilities, or food handling practices.
(d) Tummy assumes any liability for errors, omissions, or changes in the restaurant's menu, ingredients, suppliers, preparation methods, or operational practices, whether occurring before or after verification.
(e) The data is current at the exact moment of your visit. Restaurants may change ingredients, suppliers, recipes, preparation methods, or equipment at any time without prior notice to Tummy.
(f) Cross-contamination risks have been assessed or eliminated.
(g) The restaurant complies with any particular food safety regulation, health code, or industry standard.
3.3. "Tummy Verified" means only that the restaurant has participated in our structured data collection process and has confirmed the information through that process. It does not create any warranty, guarantee, certification, or assumption of liability by BetterCarte LLC.
3.4. The disclaimers and limitations in Sections 2, 4, 10, and 11 of these Terms apply fully and equally to all data on the platform, including Tummy Verified restaurant data.
3.5. REGARDLESS OF VERIFICATION STATUS, USERS WITH FOOD ALLERGIES, INTOLERANCES, OR HEALTH CONDITIONS MUST ALWAYS CONFIRM DETAILS DIRECTLY WITH RESTAURANT STAFF BEFORE ORDERING OR CONSUMING FOOD.
4. HEALTH AND ALLERGY DISCLAIMER; ASSUMPTION OF RISK
4.1. Tummy provides ingredient and allergen information as reported by restaurants or sourced from publicly available data. This information is provided strictly on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. Tummy makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding:
(a) The accuracy, completeness, currency, or reliability of any menu, ingredient, allergen, or nutritional information.
(b) Whether any dish is safe for any individual to consume based on their specific health conditions, allergies, intolerances, sensitivities, or dietary requirements.
(c) Whether restaurant practices — including but not limited to cross-contamination, shared cooking equipment, shared fryers, shared preparation surfaces, shared utensils, airborne allergen exposure, ingredient substitutions, or supplier changes — are reflected in the displayed data.
(d) Whether displayed data accounts for seasonal menu variations, daily specials, or temporary ingredient substitutions.
4.2. Tummy is not a healthcare provider, medical professional, nutritionist, or dietitian. The Services do not constitute medical advice, nutritional counseling, or a diagnosis of any kind. Users should consult qualified healthcare professionals regarding food allergies, intolerances, or any health conditions affected by diet.
4.3. ASSUMPTION OF RISK. By using the Services, you expressly acknowledge and assume all risks associated with: (a) relying on information displayed on the platform to make food consumption decisions; (b) the possibility that displayed information may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated; (c) the inherent risks of dining at restaurants when you have food allergies, intolerances, or sensitivities — including cross-contamination and undisclosed ingredient changes; and (d) the limitations of AI-powered matching and content generation systems, which may produce errors, fail to identify allergens or ingredients present in a dish, or generate inaccurate or incomplete information.
4.4. BY USING THE SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THAT YOU BEAR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY FOR VERIFYING FOOD SAFETY WITH THE RESTAURANT BEFORE CONSUMING ANY FOOD. TUMMY'S ROLE IS LIMITED TO PROVIDING INFORMATION. THE DECISION TO CONSUME ANY FOOD IS YOURS ALONE.
5. RESTAURANT DATA RESPONSIBILITY AND LICENSE
5.1. Restaurants that submit data to Tummy represent and warrant that: (a) all information provided is accurate, complete, current, and lawful to share; (b) they will promptly update information when menus, ingredients, suppliers, preparation methods, equipment, or recipes change; (c) they have the right, authority, and any necessary consents to share all submitted information; (d) the information does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party; and (e) they comply with all applicable federal, state, and local food safety laws, health codes, and allergen disclosure requirements in their jurisdiction.
5.2. By submitting data, restaurants grant BetterCarte LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, display, reproduce, distribute, modify, adapt, and create derivative works of their menu and ingredient information in connection with the operation and promotion of the Services. This license continues for the duration of the restaurant's account and thereafter as described in Section 9.
5.3. Restaurants acknowledge that information submitted to Tummy may be displayed publicly and indexed by search engines.
5.4. Restaurants agree to indemnify and hold Tummy harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising from inaccuracies, omissions, misrepresentations, or delays in updating restaurant-provided data. This indemnification obligation survives termination of the restaurant's account.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
12.1. Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute proceeding, you agree to first contact us at legal@thetummyapp.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days of your initial notice, either party may proceed as described below.
12.2. Binding Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or the relationship between you and BetterCarte LLC (a "Dispute") that is not resolved through informal resolution shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Arbitration Rules if you are a business user), as applicable. (a) The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. (b) The arbitration shall take place in Austin, Texas, unless the parties mutually agree to an alternative location or to virtual proceedings.

(e) Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, unless the arbitrator determines that a claim was frivolous, in which case the arbitrator may award costs and fees to the prevailing party.
12.3. Class Action Waiver. YOU AND BETTERCARTE LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, MULTI-DISTRICT, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding.
12.4. Jury Trial Waiver. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND BETTERCARTE LLC EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES.

12.6. Opt-Out. You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions of this Section 12 by sending written notice to legal@thetummyapp.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your full name, mailing address, account identifier (if applicable), and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you validly opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts specified in Section 13. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
12.7. Severability of Arbitration Provisions. If the class action waiver in Section 12.3 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 12 (other than this severability clause) shall be null and void, and the Dispute shall proceed in court under Section 13. If any other provision of this Section 12 is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
13. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

You waive any objection to venue, personal jurisdiction, or forum non conveniens in those courts.
