You may not access or use the Site if we have previously banned you from the Site or closed your account. We reserve the right to terminate accounts for users who have been previously suspended or removed from the Site.
License: Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MetroTables grants you a non-transferable, non-assignable, limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use MetroTables only as permitted in this Agreement, and reserves all rights not expressly granted herein.
User Accounts: You must create an account and provide certain information about yourself or the restaurant you represent in order to use some of the features that are offered through the Site. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account password. Your password and login information must be kept confidential, may only be used by you and may not be shared, given, rented, or assigned to any other persons. You must provide true, accurate and complete information and keep your account information updated. You shall not use, as a user name, a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene. You are responsible for all activities that occur in connection with your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. You may not impersonate someone else (e.g., adopt the identity of a celebrity, your next-door neighbor, a nonexistent restaurant or a restaurant you are not authorized to represent, or upload images from a restaurant you are not authorized to use), create or use an account for anyone other than yourself or the restaurant you legally represent, provide an email address other than your own or of the restaurant you legally represent, or create multiple accounts. We reserve the right to close your account at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. You shall have the ability to delete your account by emailing us at admin@metrotables.com.
Unclaimed Accounts: For the purpose of facilitating the registration process for restaurant users, from time to time MetroTables may create restaurant accounts and invite the respective restaurants for which they were intended to claim them. Unclaimed Accounts will be identified with a mark in their account page. Unclaimed accounts may be displayed in search results and may include Sponsored Offers.
Claimed Accounts: Unclaimed Accounts rightfully claimed by the restaurants for which they were created shall be deemed Claimed Accounts and shall be considered no different from accounts created by restaurants. The moment an Unclaimed Account becomes a Claimed Account, its Sponsored Offers shall become Non-Sponsored Offers.
Sponsored Offers: Offers created and posted by MetroTables with no direct involvement from the restaurant. They are of a temporary nature, intended to drive adoption, demonstrate the value of dynamic pricing to restaurants and diners, and may be subject to limitations not applicable to Non-Sponsored Offers. Restaurants to honor Sponsored Offers at their sole discretion. Any limitations applicable to Sponsored Offers will be communicated by MetroTables to the diner upon their acceptance of an offer.
Non-Sponsored Offers: Offers managed directly by restaurants from their MetroTables account.
Offers, Cancellations, Late Arrivals and No Shows: To accept an offer, you will be required to provide us with information such as your name, email address and mobile number. Please note that offers are not confirmed until an offer notification is displayed through the Service. By providing your email address and mobile phone number during the account registration process, you are consenting to receive communications (including SMS text messages), such as information about your offer, through the email address and phone number you have specified.
When you accept an offer through our Site, you agree to honor the offer by arriving on time and paying for the meal in accordance with the terms of the offer. If you are unable to honor the offer as initially planned, you must cancel it with at least thirty (30) minutes in advance either through the Site or by contacting the restaurant directly, so the offer is restored in the system and made available to be accepted by other users.
If you don't arrive within fifteen (15) minutes from the time your offer starts, the restaurant at its sole discretion may honor or not the terms offered. Offers you accept and not honor or not cancel within thirty (30) minutes will be considered a no-show and will be stored on the Service and associated with your account. MetroTables reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account if you have an excessive number of no-shows, as determined in our sole discretion.
Offers are not reservations and tables are subject to availability. Offers can't be combined with happy hours or other discounts or deals. Restaurants should make all efforts possible to provide a table at the time indicated in its offer, but they are not obliged to guarantee a table will be available. But since restaurants are incentivized to provide discounts when business is slow, the likelihood of tables not being available at the offer time is very low.
Disputes: MetroTables is a marketplace where restaurants can connect with diners allowing them to search for, and accept dynamic pricing offers. By using our Service, you acknowledge and agree that we do not employ, control, recommend or endorse any restaurant or make any representation about the quality or legality of their services, or your potential experience with any restaurant. All terms contained in Non-Sponsored Offers are provided for and defined exclusively by each restaurant without our participation.
