3. Privacy Policy

The treatment of your access to the Online Services, including, but not limited to, any personal information that we collect when you use the Online Services and when you use or purchase any goods or services provided by us or offered through the Online Services, is subject to and governed by our Privacy Policy.  Please review our Privacy Policy, which also governs your visit to the Online Services, to understand our practices.

You recognize and agree that when submitting any information, including personally information, to the Online Services, there is no guarantee of security.  We make no warranties, express or implied, that the information provided by you shall be free from interception or unauthorized access and, in the unlikely event of an interception or unauthorized access despite our efforts, we shall not be responsible for any damages or liability arising therefrom or in connection therewith.

4. Text Messaging Program Terms

We may offer our customers mobile alerts regarding sales, promotional products, new product releases, loyalty program alerts, and order and delivery alerts by SMS message (each a “Text Message Program”).   By participating in a Text Message Program, you acknowledge your personal information is subject to our Privacy Policy.

Signing Up and Opting Into a Text Message Program

Enrollment in a Text Message Program requires you to provide your mobile phone number and to agree to these Terms and Conditions.  You may not enroll if you are under eighteen (18) years old (or the applicable age of majority in your home state) or if you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions.  We reserve the right to stop offering a Text Message Program and/or terminate your participation in a Text Message Program at any time with or without notice.

By opting into a Text Message Program, you:

●          Authorize us to use auto dialer or non-auto dialed technology to send recurring text messages to the mobile phone number associated with your opt-in (i.e., the number listed on the opt-in form or, if none, the number from which you send the opt-in, or, if none, the number on file for the account associated with your opt-in).

●          Acknowledge that you do not have to consent to receive text message advertisements as a condition of purchasing goods or services.

●          Confirm that you are the subscriber to the relevant phone number or that you are the customary user of that number on a family or business plan and that you are authorized to opt into the Text Message Program.

●          Consent to the use of an electronic record to document your opt-in.

While you consent to receive messages sent using automated technology, these Terms and Conditions shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that we send any or all of our text messages using an automatic telephone dialing system (or other automated technology, as defined under applicable laws).

You may opt out of receiving text messages from us at any time by texting “STOP,” “END,” “UNSUBSCRIBE,” “CANCEL,” “QUIT,” or “PLEASE OPT ME OUT” to any of the text messages you have received from us.  For a Text Message Program operated through a different number, text STOP to that number to opt out.  Your opt-out request may generate either a confirmation text or a text request to clarify the Text Message Program to which it applies (if you have subscribed to more than one).  To complete your opt-out, please provide the requested clarification.  You acknowledge that the text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that do not include the “STOP,” “END,” “UNSUBSCRIBE,” “CANCEL,” “QUIT,” or “PLEASE OPT ME OUT” keyword commands and agree that we and our service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such texts that do not contain such keyword commands.   You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out.  You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those set forth above or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from a Text Message Program list, is not a reasonable means of opting out.   If you unsubscribe from one of our Text Message Programs, you may continue to receive text messages from us through any other programs you have joined until you separately unsubscribe from those programs.  These Terms and Conditions will still apply if you withdraw the consent mentioned above or opt out of a Text Message Program.

If you need assistance at any time, or you forget what keywords are supported, just text “HELP” to the number sending the text message you received.

Cost and Frequency of Messages

Message and data rates may apply.  Please consult your service agreement with your wireless carrier or contact your wireless carrier to determine your phone’s pricing plan and the charges for sending and receiving text messages.  You acknowledge that you are responsible for any message, data, or other charges incurred (usage, subscription, etc.) as a result of using a Text Message Program.

Text Message Programs are offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas at all times and may not continue to work in the event of product, software, coverage, or other changes made by your wireless carrier.  We will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any mobile messages connected with a Text Message Program.

Supported Carriers

Supported carriers are AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Boost, Virgin Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Cricket, Alltel, Cincinnati Bell, Cellcom, C-Spire, nTelos, MetroPCS, and other smaller regional carriers.  A Text Message Program may not be available on all wireless carriers.  We may add or remove any wireless carrier from a Text Message Program at any time without notice.  We and mobile carriers are not responsible for any undue delays, failure of delivery, or errors in messages.

Changing Your Phone Number

If you change, forfeit, or deactivate the phone number you provided to us for a Text Message Program, you agree to notify us immediately of such change or to unsubscribe from the Text Message Program prior to changing, forfeiting, or deactivating the phone number.  Failure to do so constitutes a material breach of these Terms and Conditions.  To do so or find out more information on our text message marketing programs, Contact Us.  

5. Liability and Disclaimers.

WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIVISIONS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND RETAILERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICES, INABILITY TO USE THE ONLINE SERVICES, OR CONTENT OF EXTERNAL LINKS, INCLUDING DAMAGES CAUSED BY OR RELATED TO ERRORS, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DEFECTS, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION OR ANY COMPUTER VIRUS OR FAILURE.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Terms and Conditions, in no event shall our total liability to you for all damages, losses and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceed the amount paid by you to us, whether or not any such amounts are actually paid, for accessing the Online Services or any of the content thereon.  Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Certain portions of this Online Services may be populated with User Content as noted in Section 2 above.  We and all parties involved in creating, producing or delivering the Online Services, assume no responsibility or liability which may arise from the User Content, including but not limited to claims for defamation, libel, slander, obscenity, indecency, pornography, profanity, or misrepresentation.   For the avoidance of doubt, the posting of, or transmission to, the Online Services, of any of the following items is strictly prohibited:  pornographic, obscene, indecent, profane, defamatory, libelous, threatening, unlawful or other material which could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, promote the excessive or irresponsible consumption of alcohol, or otherwise violate any law or regulation.

8. Coupons, Promotions and Digital Offers

Coupons, promotions, digital offers, or other discounts or offers that benefit you (collectively, “Offers”) which are made available on the Online Services may be redeemed at participating restaurants.   Some Offers may require you to perform specific redemption actions within the Online Service.  Offers may not be altered, changed or modified in any way and must be used at the time of purchase.  Copying, selling and internet auctioning and re-distribution of Offers in any form is strictly prohibited.  All Offers are void where prohibited and redeemable for a limited time.   You have no right to redeem Offers that are expired or discontinued even if the Offers remain visible on the Online Services.

You may receive Offers through accessing and/or using the Online Services.  Each Offer may include separate terms and conditions, which you are responsible for reading and understanding.  By accessing or redeeming an Offer, you agree to be bound by those terms. In addition, the following general terms apply to all Offers:

The Online Services may include various programs, offers, surveys, sweepstakes, contests, raffles or other similar promotions (collectively, "Promotions") that are governed by rules and/or terms that are in addition to these Terms and Conditions.  By participating in any such Promotion, you are subject to any such additional Promotions terms.  You are responsible for reading and understanding: (i) the applicable Promotion terms (linked from the particular Promotion); and (ii) our Privacy Policy.   Together, with these Terms and Conditions, (i) and (ii) govern your participation in, and any information you submit, in connection with any such Promotions.

Unless stipulated elsewhere in the additional terms of conditions of a specific Promotion, Promotions are only open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States, including the District of Columbia who are at least eighteen (18) years old at the time of purchase.

9. Mobile Application

To use the Online Services accessible through either the mobile website or the mobile application (“Application”), you must have a compatible mobile device and wireless mobile data service.  You are responsible for obtaining and paying for such required devices and services, including without limitation all usage charges related thereto.  We do not warrant that the Application will be compatible with your mobile device. Your use of the third-party service Application may be subject to additional terms related to that service from the third-party service provider (“Application Provider”). WE ARE NOT LIABLE IN ANY WAY FOR, AND MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES RELATING TO, ANY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE. 

You acknowledge that these Terms and Conditions and your use of the Application is between you and us only, and not with any Application Provider or its affiliates or subsidiaries.  As between us and an Application Provider, we are solely responsible for the Application and the Online Service Materials.  If anything in these Terms and Conditions conflict with any usage rules for the Application from an Application Provider, such terms from the Application Provider control (only so far as those terms conflict with these Terms and Conditions, and then exclusively for your use of the Applications).   By using the Application, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.  

The Application may automatically download and install updates from time to time or require the downloading and installation of updates or new versions for continued use.  You acknowledge that in some instances, updates and/or new versions may reduce or remove features and functionality in prior versions of the Application.

If you download the Application, we may send you special Offers and messages.  These in-Application Offers and messages are integrated features of the Application and may have specific terms and conditions outlined in the Offer.  If you do not wish to receive these in-Applications Offers and messages, you must delete the Application.  If you download the Application and provide permission, we may also push notifications to your device; you can opt out of push notifications in your device’s settings.

All rights you have to use the Application are for use only on appropriate products (which may require branding from the Application Provider or other entities) and are non-transferable, except that the Application may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via features like Apple’s Family Sharing (or similar features from other Application Providers) or volume purchasing.   We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the Application, as specified in these Terms and Conditions, or as required under applicable law.  No Application Provider has any obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services for the Application, nor any warranties for the same. 

WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES RELATED TO ANY APPLICATION.  However, in the event that the Application fails to conform to any applicable warranty that we cannot disclaim according to applicable law, you may have the right to notify the Application Provider, and the Application Provider may refund the purchase price for the Mobile App. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,  NO APPLICATION PROVIDER WILL HAVE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION, AND ANY OTHER CLAIMS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, OR EXPENSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY FAILURE TO CONFORM TO ANY WARRANTY IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

We, not the Application Provider, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Application, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation; and (iv) claims that the Application infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights as well as the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim. 

10. User Accounts

The Online Services may include services and/or features that allow you to open a user account to enhance such services and/or features (“User Account”).  If you choose to sign up for a User Account, you must complete the registration process by providing current, complete, and accurate information as requested.  We reserve the right to take any and all actions necessary to protect the security of the Online Services, including terminating your User Account, changing your password, or requesting information on your User Account.  We have no responsibility for any loss caused by your failure to input or maintain the currency, completeness, and accuracy of your registration data.  The creation of a User Account will require you to choose a user name and password.  You agree to:

  1. maintain the confidentiality of your user name, password and other account information, including signing out of your User Account if multiple users will access the device;
  2. update any information you provide us regarding your User Account;
  3. be responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account.
  4. notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account; and
  5. not to email, post, or otherwise disseminate any user name, password, or other information that provides you access to the Online Services.  We are not liable for any loss that you may incur as a result of someone else using your password or account, either with or without your knowledge.

We may reject, and you may not use certain information like an email address, for any reason in our sole discretion.  For example, we may reject the creation of a User Account because an email or alternative method for creating a User Account is already taken. You may only have one active account at any given time, and you may not allow other people to use your User Account.

11. Online Ordering

The Online Services may include the ability to order online from participating franchised restaurants (“Operators”).  These Terms and Conditions apply only to orders placed through the Online Services.  Ordering may not be available through the Online Services for all restaurant locations and some restaurants do not sell all menu items.  Images of menu items on the Online Services may not be identical to what is available or that you may receive from an individual restaurant.

You are responsible for payment of your order by means of a payment option made available through the Online Services at the time of ordering.  Before you submit an order, you must provide a valid form of accepted payment to use with your order.  By utilizing online ordering through the Online Services, you authorize us to charge the payment method you specify.  The Operator of the restaurant identified when you place your order is responsible for preparing and fulfilling your order and for any questions or other communications regarding your order.  We do not prepare the items you are purchasing from the Operator and the Operator remains responsible for all items that you purchase.

You understand that: (i) the prices for menu items displayed through the Online Services may differ from the prices offered or published by Operators for the same menu items at a restaurant location, and (ii) we reserve the right to change the prices displayed through the Online Services and applicable fees or surcharges at any time.  Prices for menu items do not include applicable taxes, and fees, delivery and service fees, or related surcharges.  Charges paid for completed orders are final and non-refundable.   We have no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them, in our sole discretion.

Minimum order amounts may apply for orders placed through Online Services.  Any applicable taxes and fees, delivery and service fees, or other related surcharges due in connection with your order will be identified when you place your order.   There may be limits on the dollar values and number of orders that may be placed through the Online Services.   If we are legally required to collect sales tax on your order, the tax amount will be added automatically to your purchase price.  In some rare circumstances, an error in our tax database system may miscalculate the sales tax for your order.  If this occurs, you may Contact Us for a refund of the tax overcharge.  You may do so any time up to two years from your date of purchase and this right to a refund is your only available remedy for a sales tax error.  In some circumstances, we may deny the refund if you have failed to prove that such a sales tax error occurred or do not have proper documentation, like a receipt of purchase.

12. Delivery Services

Delivery may also be available through the Online Services and/or select third-party delivery services for qualifying orders placed at participating restaurant locations.  To determine which locations in your area are participating, simply opt for delivery when placing an online order on one of our Online Services or download the third-party delivery service’s mobile application, input your delivery address, and you will be able to order from participating restaurants in your area.  When ordering through a third-party delivery service, you understand and agree that you are placing the order and paying that third-party service provider and not us or a restaurant Operator.  The delivery services, regardless of whether they are placed through Online Services or a third party, are provided by the third party, and we have no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of the third-party delivery service provider.  All orders placed through a third-party delivery service are subject to any terms and conditions provided by that service provider at the time of the order.
