Terms

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using DROOL, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app. These Terms are a legally binding agreement between you and DROOL. You must be at least 13 years old to use the app.

2. Your Account

To use DROOL, you may need to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials, all activity under your account, providing accurate information, and notifying us of unauthorized access. You may not impersonate others, create accounts for others without permission, or create multiple accounts to avoid bans or restrictions.

3. Content You Post

DROOL lets you post dish photos, ratings, comments, and other content. You represent that you own or have the right to post your content, that it does not infringe others' rights, that it does not violate these Terms, and that you have consent from identifiable people appearing in photos. We may remove content that violates these Terms or our community guidelines.

4. License to Your Content

By submitting content to DROOL, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, display, and perform your content in connection with operating and improving DROOL, promoting DROOL, creating aggregated or anonymized analytics, sharing with partners as described in our Privacy Policy, and other purposes reasonably related to the service.

You retain ownership of your content. This license does not give us the right to sell your individual photos as standalone products without your consent.

5. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to post hateful, harassing, abusive, threatening, defamatory, discriminatory, sexually explicit, graphically violent, false, misleading, deceptive, or infringing content. You also agree not to spam, manipulate ratings, impersonate others, scrape data, disrupt systems, use the app commercially without permission, or violate applicable laws.

6. Intellectual Property

The DROOL app, name, logo, design, rank badge artwork, rating system, Drool Points system, and software are owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from our intellectual property without written consent.

7. Advertising & Commercial Use

DROOL may partner with food brands, restaurants, and advertisers. We may feature sponsored content, challenges, or promotions, and sponsored content will be clearly labeled. We may use aggregated, anonymized data about user behavior and food preferences to provide insights to partners or serve relevant advertising.

You may not use DROOL for your own commercial purposes, including promoting a business, restaurant, or food brand, without our written consent.

8. Drool Points & Ranks

Drool Points and ranks are entertainment and engagement features. They have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or compensation. We may adjust, reset, or modify the points system, rank thresholds, and badge artwork at any time. Manipulation of points is prohibited.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account and access to DROOL at any time, with or without cause or notice. You may delete your account through Settings → Delete Account. Provisions that should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property provisions, disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

10. Disclaimers

DROOL is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or accurate. Food ratings and reviews are subjective opinions and do not constitute professional food safety or nutritional advice.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DROOL and its owners, officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses related to your use of the app.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes may be resolved through binding arbitration except where either party seeks injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration against DROOL.

13. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email where appropriate. Continued use of DROOL after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms.
