Terms of Service

Last updated: August 29, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Meal Social Inc. ("MESA", "we", "us", "our") governing your access to and use of the MESA mobile applications, mesa-app.link, mesaplanner.com, and any related features (together, the "Service").

Read section 17 carefully. It requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration and waives your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action, unless you opt out as described.

By creating an account, or by accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

"Content" means any text, photograph, rating, review, tip, message, poll, plan, collection, caption, comment or other material submitted to the Service.
"Your Content" means Content you submit.
"Venue" means a restaurant, bar, cafe or other establishment listed in the Service.
"Operator" means a person who claims and manages a Venue listing.
"AI Output" means any text, summary, extraction, ranking or suggestion produced with the assistance of machine-learning models.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old, and at least 16 where your jurisdiction sets a higher minimum age for consent to data processing. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, if you are located in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive United States sanctions, or if you appear on a United States government restricted-party list. You may not use the Service if we have previously terminated your account.

If you use the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind it, and "you" includes that organisation.

3. Your account

You are responsible for all activity under your account. Keep your credentials secure, keep your contact details current, and notify us at hello@mesaplanner.com promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

One person, one account. Do not impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation, use another person's account, or permit another person to use yours. Do not create an account by automated means, and do not create a new account to evade a suspension or termination.

4. Licence to use the Service

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to use the Service for your own non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. Operators may use Operator features for the Venue they are authorised to manage.

All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

5. Your Content

5.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of Your Content.

5.2 Licence you grant to us

You grant MESA a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable (to our service providers, solely to operate the Service) and transferable (in a corporate transaction) licence to host, store, cache, reproduce, adapt, reformat, resize, excerpt, publish, publicly display and distribute Your Content for the purposes of operating, improving, securing and promoting the Service, to the audience you have selected.

This licence exists so that we can show your review to the people you posted it for, generate a thumbnail, include a snippet in a summary, and feature Content in materials about the Service. It ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except that: copies already shared with or retained by other users remain with them; copies within another person's record are anonymised rather than erased as described in the Privacy Policy; and we may retain copies as required by law or for the enforcement of these Terms.

5.3 Your representations

For everything you submit, you represent and warrant that you own it or have all necessary rights and permissions; that it does not infringe or misappropriate any intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other right; that you have obtained consent from any identifiable person depicted, and from anyone you tag; and that it complies with these Terms and applicable law.

5.4 Feedback

If you send suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use it without restriction or compensation. We have no obligation to keep feedback confidential.

6. Acceptable use

You must not:

post Content that is unlawful, defamatory, fraudulent, hateful, harassing, threatening, or that incites violence or self-harm;
post sexual Content involving a minor, or Content that sexualises a minor in any form, including drawn, edited or AI-generated imagery — see Child Safety Standards;
post another person's private or identifying information without permission, or photograph a person in a manner that violates their privacy;
stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate or defraud any person, or contact anyone who has blocked you;
post false, paid, incentivised, retaliatory or duplicated reviews, coordinate reviews with others, or otherwise attempt to inflate or suppress the rating or reputation of a Venue;
check in to a location where you are not present, falsify or spoof your device location, or use tools that misreport position;
misrepresent yourself as the owner, employee or authorised representative of a Venue;
scrape, crawl, harvest, index or bulk-extract any part of the Service or its data, use it to build a competing dataset or product, or train a machine-learning model on it;
use bots, automation or scripted access, or operate multiple or fake accounts;
probe, scan, stress-test, overload, disrupt or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure, or circumvent rate limits, blocks, moderation, authentication or access controls;
reverse-engineer, decompile or disassemble any part of the Service except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
resell, sublicense or commercially exploit the Service or its data without our written permission;
use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation.

We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including removing Content, limiting or disabling features, and suspending or terminating accounts. Some limits are applied automatically, including caps on how much one account may post about a single Venue in a period.

7. Content moderation and reporting

Any Content or account can be reported in the Service. Reports concerning child safety take priority over all other moderation.

We may, but are not obliged to, monitor Content. We may remove or restrict any Content or account at our discretion, with or without notice, including where we consider Content unlawful, harmful, misleading, or in breach of these Terms. We are not a publisher of user Content and do not endorse it. Opinions in reviews and tips are those of their authors.

Where we remove Content or restrict an account and the law requires it, we will provide a statement of reasons and information about how to appeal. To appeal, email hello@mesaplanner.com with the subject Appeal.

8. Copyright and intellectual property complaints

Designated agent for copyright notices, registered with the United States Copyright Office:

Roy Beavers, Copyright Agent
Meal Social Inc.
7995 Blue Diamond Rd #102-119
Las Vegas, NV 89178
United States
Telephone: +1 323-360-3356
legal@mesaplanner.com

If you believe Content infringes your copyright, send a notice to the agent above containing: identification of the work; identification of the material and enough detail to locate it; your contact details; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised; a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature.

We will respond to valid notices, may remove the material, and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.

Counter-notice. If your Content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing: identification of the removed material and its former location; a statement under penalty of perjury of your good-faith belief that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; your contact details; your consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court; and your signature. We may restore the material as the law permits.

Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice can carry liability, including costs and legal fees.

9. AI features and no reliance

The Service uses machine learning to generate AI Output, including assistant replies, conversational search, Venue summaries and vibe descriptions, extraction of menu information from photographs, plan suggestions, and personalised assessments.

You acknowledge and agree that:

AI Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading or entirely fabricated, including as to hours, prices, availability, menu items, ingredients, preparation methods, and allergen or dietary characteristics;
AI Output is a suggestion and not a statement of fact, not a recommendation on which you should rely without verification, and not professional advice of any kind, including medical, dietary, nutritional, legal or financial advice;
identical or similar AI Output may be generated for other users, and you obtain no exclusive rights in it;
you are solely responsible for verifying AI Output before acting on it.

9.1 Food safety, allergens and dietary requirements

This section is important.

Menu information in the Service may be extracted automatically from photographs or web pages, may be supplied by other users or by Operators, and may be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Ingredient and allergen information is especially unreliable, because recipes, preparation, cross-contamination risk and suppliers change without notice.

Never rely on the Service, on AI Output, or on any Content in the Service to determine whether a food is safe for you or anyone else to consume. Always confirm directly with the Venue before ordering or eating. Any dietary preference or allergy information you enter is used to influence ranking and suggestions only; it is not a filter, not a safety control, and does not cause any food to be excluded on safety grounds.

If you have a food allergy, intolerance, medical condition, religious dietary requirement or any other restriction, speak to the Venue and to a qualified professional. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability for any allergic reaction, illness, injury or loss arising from reliance on Content or AI Output.

10. Location features

Location features require your permission and operate only while the app is in the foreground. Positioning depends on your device, its settings and network conditions, and can be inaccurate or unavailable.

Do not use the Service for navigation, in an emergency, or for any purpose where inaccurate location could cause harm. Do not interact with the Service while driving or operating machinery. The Service is not an emergency service; in an emergency contact your local emergency number.

11. Venues, reservations and third parties

Venue information comes from third-party data providers, from Operators and from other users. We do not own, operate, control, inspect, endorse or guarantee any Venue, and we do not verify the accuracy of Venue information, hours, prices, menus, availability, licensing, hygiene or safety.

When you book or open a reservation, the Service directs you to a third-party provider such as OpenTable or Shift4, or to the Venue's own website. Any reservation, order, payment, deposit, cancellation, no-show charge or dispute is between you and that Venue or provider under their terms. MESA is not a party to it, receives no payment for it through the Service, and has no responsibility or liability for it.

Your dealings with any Venue, Operator, provider or other user are solely between you and them.

12. Assumption of risk and release between users

The Service helps people find places and arrange to meet. You use it at your own risk.

You acknowledge that MESA does not screen, vet, interview or conduct background checks on users, Venues or Operators, and makes no representation about any person's identity, conduct, character or suitability. Interactions arranged through the Service, including meeting people you do not know and travelling to Venues, carry inherent risks including personal injury, illness, property loss, fraud and harassment.

You assume all such risks and are solely responsible for your own safety. Meet in public places, tell someone where you are going, and use your judgement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release MESA from claims, demands, damages and liabilities of every kind arising out of or connected with any dispute or interaction between you and any other user, Venue or Operator, whether online or in person. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which provides that a general release does not extend to claims the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist at the time of the release.

13. Operators

If you claim a Venue you additionally represent and warrant that you are the owner or an authorised representative of that business and are permitted to act for it.

Claims are verified and we may require supporting documents, a verified telephone number or a business-verification check. We may refuse, revoke or suspend a claim, and may remove Operator Content, where a claim appears invalid or these Terms are breached.

Operator Content must be accurate and not misleading. Offers, promotions and loyalty or regulars benefits must be honoured on the terms you publish, must comply with all applicable law including advertising, consumer-protection, alcohol and food law, and are your responsibility alone. MESA is not a sponsor of, party to, or guarantor of any Operator offer.

Changes to certain Venue fields, including telephone number and website, are subject to review, because those fields determine who may claim a Venue and where bookings are directed.

14. Referrals and invitations

Referral and invitation features let you invite others and may credit you when someone joins. Do not spam, buy or artificially generate referrals, self-refer, or use bots or fake accounts. We may withhold or reverse credits, and disable the feature, where we identify abuse. We may change or end these features at any time.

15. Fees

The Service is currently provided without charge. If we introduce paid features we will disclose the price and terms before you incur any charge, and you will not be charged for anything you have not agreed to.

16. Term, suspension and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service.

You may stop at any time and may delete your account in the app, or as described at Delete Your Account.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably suspect unlawful or harmful conduct, if required by law, or if continuing to provide the Service to you would create legal or security risk. Where practicable and lawful we will tell you why.

On termination your licence to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive do survive, including sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 9, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20, 17 and 22.

17. Dispute resolution, arbitration and class-action waiver

17.1 Informal resolution first

Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to email hello@mesaplanner.com describing the dispute and the relief you seek, and to allow 60 days for good-faith resolution. This is a condition precedent to arbitration. The limitation period is tolled while it runs.

17.2 Agreement to arbitrate

If the dispute is not resolved, you and MESA agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration, administered by a recognised United States arbitration provider under its consumer rules then in effect, before a single arbitrator, seated in Clark County, Nevada, with the proceeding conducted in English. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and formation of this agreement, except as stated in 17.4.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.3 Exceptions

Either party may: bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies; and seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to prevent infringement or misuse of intellectual property or unauthorised access to the Service.

17.4 Class-action and jury waiver

Claims must be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. You and MESA waive any right to a jury trial. If this paragraph is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy is severed to court and the remainder of this section still applies.

17.5 Mass arbitration

If 25 or more similar claims are asserted against MESA by or with the assistance of the same counsel, the claims will be resolved in staged batches of no more than 50, each batch before a single arbitrator, with the limitation period tolled for claims awaiting a batch. This is intended to make resolution efficient for both sides.

17.6 Your right to opt out

You may reject this section 17 by emailing hello@mesaplanner.com with the subject Arbitration opt-out within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, including your name and the email address on your account. Opting out affects nothing else in these Terms, and we will not retaliate for it. If you opt out, disputes proceed in the courts identified in section 18.

17.7 Time limit for claims

To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

17.8 Mandatory local rights

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or another jurisdiction whose mandatory law gives you a non-waivable right to bring proceedings locally, or that prohibits this arbitration agreement, that law prevails and this section does not restrict your rights.

18. Governing law and venue

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, United States, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Where a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and MESA submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and waive objections to venue — except where the mandatory law of your country of residence provides otherwise.

19. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, VENUE INFORMATION AND AI OUTPUT, IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. To the fullest extent permitted by law, MESA disclaims all warranties, express, implied, statutory or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, quiet enjoyment and non-infringement, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; that defects will be corrected; that the Service is free of harmful components; or that any Content, Venue information or AI Output is accurate, complete, current, reliable or suitable for any purpose.

We make no warranty regarding, and accept no responsibility for, the conduct of any user, Venue, Operator or third-party provider, or for any transaction, meal, reservation or meeting.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you. In that case such warranties are limited to the minimum duration and scope permitted by law.

20. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

MESA and its officers, directors, employees, agents, suppliers and licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity or anticipated savings, however caused and on any theory of liability, whether or not we have been advised of the possibility.

MESA will not be liable for personal injury, illness, allergic reaction, death, property damage, emotional distress or other loss arising from: any visit to or experience at a Venue; any food or drink consumed; any reservation, order or payment; any interaction or meeting with another user; reliance on Content, Venue information or AI Output; or inaccurate location information.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).

These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including, where applicable, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for gross negligence or wilful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

21. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless MESA and its officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any claim, demand, proceeding, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or relating to: Your Content; your use or misuse of the Service; your breach of these Terms or of any law; your violation of the rights of any third party; any dispute between you and another user, Venue or Operator; or, if you are an Operator, any offer, promotion or statement you publish.

We may assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter subject to indemnification, at your expense, and you agree to cooperate.

22. General

Changes. We may modify these Terms. We will revise the date above and, for material changes, give notice in the Service or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the change. If you do not accept it, stop using the Service and delete your account.

Changes to the Service. We may add, change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service, and may set or change limits on features, at any time. Older application versions may cease to function when a change requires an update.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, epidemic, war, civil unrest, labour dispute, governmental action, utility or network failure, or failure of a third-party provider.

Severability. If a provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions continue in force.

No waiver. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of assets, or to an affiliate.

No third-party beneficiaries, except that Apple Inc. is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Notices. We may give notice by in-app message, by email to the address on your account, or by posting to the Service. Notices to us go to hello@mesaplanner.com, or in writing to Meal Social Inc., 7995 Blue Diamond Rd #102-119, Las Vegas, NV 89178, United States. A notice is effective on receipt.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any policy referenced in them, are the entire agreement between you and MESA regarding the Service, and supersede prior agreements on that subject.

Relationship. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchise relationship is created by these Terms.

Export and sanctions. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Service from, a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive United States sanctions, and that you are not a restricted party under United States law.

United States government users. The Service is a commercial item; use by a United States government end user is subject to these Terms as permitted by applicable regulations.

Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience and the English version prevails.

23. App store terms

If you obtained the application from the Apple App Store or Google Play, you also agree to that store's terms, and the following apply:

these Terms are between you and MESA only, not with Apple or Google;
Apple and Google have no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the application;
to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple and Google have no warranty obligation, and any claim of non-conformity to warranty is our responsibility;
Apple and Google are not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the application, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or consumer-protection claims;
if a third party claims the application infringes its intellectual property, MESA and not Apple or Google is responsible for investigation and resolution;
you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States embargo or designated as supporting terrorism, and that you are not on any United States restricted-party list;
Apple and Google are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it.
