2. Our Services; Dollar Eats Platform.
2.1. Overview.
Our Platform allows consumers (“Customers”) to purchase a subscription (“Subscription”) for the Fee that allows Customers to purchase pizza and/or other items from specified participating food service establishments (the “Participating Restaurants”) at member pricing (the “Offered Discounts”) compared to prices offered to consumers who do not purchase a Subscription. The discounted prices and Participating Restaurants are subject to change from time to time at the sole discretion of Dollar Eats. You are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the App and Platform so long as you are in full compliance with these Terms.
Dollar Eats is not responsible or liable for user conduct or Submitted Content (as defined hereinbelow). You are solely responsible for your conduct, Submitted Content, and interaction with other Platform users, both online or offline. We have no obligation to become involved in disputes between Platform users. If you have a dispute with another Platform user, then you release Dollar Eats (and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.
2.2. Additional Customer Terms.

· When utilizing the Platform or visiting any of the Participating Restaurants, you must at all times conduct yourself in a professional and workmanlike manner, with proper behavior, verbal conduct, and attire.
· Fees are nonrefundable if you cancel during a Renewal Term (as that term is defined hereinbelow).
3. Registration; Password Protection.

However, only Customers who purchase a Subscription shall be entitled to the Offered Discounts. During the registration process, you will be required to provide certain information about you. You agree that the information you provide to us in this process is complete and accurate. If you become a Registered User, and if you obtain a password, please keep in mind that we will treat anyone who uses your user name and password as "you". We will provide this user with all of the rights and privileges that we provide to you, and we will hold you responsible for the activities of a person using your password. You are not permitted to share your login credentials with any other person; should you share your login credentials with any other person we may terminate your account and Subscription immediately and without notice or other warning to you. Customers who intentionally or willfully share their login credentials with any other person, for any reason, may be banned from obtaining the Services at any point in the future and may forever be barred from purchasing a Subscription. Therefore, we recommend that you maintain your user name and password in confidence, and that you refrain from disclosing this information to anyone who might "pretend" to be you with respect to the Platform and your participation in the Services.

7. Code of Conduct.
AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO FOLLOW OUR CODE OF CONDUCT (THE "CODE OF CONDUCT"), SET OUT BELOW. UNDER THIS CODE, YOU WILL NOT:
· Upload, email, or otherwise transmit Submitted Content that is unlawful, obscene, harmful, hateful, invades the privacy of any third party, contains nudity or pornography, or is otherwise objectionable in our sole discretion.
· Disseminate material that impacts or invades the privacy of others, such as photographs, video clips, sound recordings, Personal Information, or other materials that reveal personal, private, or sensitive information about another person, without that person's consent.
· Submit material that is misleading, false, defamatory, threatening, or harassing.
· Infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy. Electronic materials – such as music, videos, images, and text in electronic form – can easily be copied, modified, and sent over networks (such as the Internet). These electronic materials are thus extremely vulnerable to unauthorized distribution and copyright infringement. These materials may not be transmitted over the Platform without the copyright owner's permission, or without a legitimate "fair use" justification for the transmittal.
· Transmit material that contains viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer-programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept, or expropriate any system, data, or Personal Information.
· Use the Platform to artificially generate traffic or page links to a website or for any other purpose not expressly allowed under these Terms.
· Use the Platform in a manner that could disable, overburden, or impair the Website or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the Website, such as through sending "spam" email.
· Test or reverse engineer the Platform in order to find limitations, vulnerabilities, or to evade filtering capabilities.
· Seek to obtain access to any materials or information through "hacking", "data harvesting", or through other means we have not intentionally made available to you through the Website.
· Use the Platform for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms. For example, you will not use the Platform to violate any law, statute, or regulation (including, without limitation, those governing export control, consumer protection, unfair competition, anti-discrimination, or false advertising).
8. Monitoring; Revocation or Suspension of Use Privileges.
We reserve the right at any time to (i) monitor your use of the Platform, and (ii) terminate or suspend your use of some or all portions of the Platform if you engage in activities that we conclude, in our discretion, breach our Code of Conduct or otherwise violate these Terms or our Privacy Policy. Although we have no – and assume no – obligation to monitor activities on the Platform, we may employ filters designed to detect and block inappropriate content under our Code of Conduct. We reserve the right to request edits or to remove any information or material, in whole or in part, that we believe, in our sole discretion, is incompatible with our Code of Conduct. IF YOU DO NOT REMOVE OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT IN RESPONSE TO OUR REASONABLE REQUESTS, THEN WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TERMINATE YOUR USE OF SOME OR ALL OF THE PLATFORM OR SERVICES, AND TO REMOVE THE CONTENT AT ISSUE.
Our Code of Conduct are based in many instances on principles of applicable law. Accordingly, users who violate our Code of Conduct may be exposed under these laws to criminal charges, and civil liability to harmed parties for compensatory damages and attorney's fees. Dollar Eats reserves the right at all times to disclose information that it deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, consistent with our Privacy Policy.
