Terms of Service

These terms apply to the Mazi mobile app and this website (together, “Mazi”). Mazi is operated by [legal entity name and location]. By creating an account or using Mazi, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Mazi.

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, their terms also apply to your use of the store. Needs legal review

• You must be at least [minimum age, e.g. 13] years old to use Mazi. Needs legal review
• Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep your password private.
• Your account is for you alone. You're responsible for activity on it.
• Choose a username that doesn't impersonate someone else or break the community rules below. We may ask you to change a username, or change it ourselves, if it does.

Mazi works because people share honest opinions about Greek food. When you use Mazi, please don't:

• harass, threaten, or post hateful, sexual or violent content about anyone;
• post fake ratings, rate places you haven't been to, or rate your own restaurant or its competitors;
• post spam, advertising, or other people's private information;
• impersonate another person or business;
• copy content you don't have the right to share;
• scrape, copy or collect data from Mazi using automated means;
• interfere with Mazi, try to get around blocks or security, or access other members' accounts; or
• use Mazi for anything illegal.

If you have a connection to a restaurant, such as working there or owning it, please don't rate it.

You own the ratings, notes, profile details and other content you post on Mazi. You're responsible for it, and it should reflect your own genuine experience.

So that we can run Mazi, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, reproduce and adapt your content (for example, to show it in the app, include it in restaurant averages and rankings, or format it for different screens) for as long as it's on Mazi. Deleting a rating, or your account, ends this license for that content, except where we've already used it in aggregate scores or need to keep it for moderation or legal reasons. Needs legal review

Decide whether Mazi may feature members' content in marketing (for example, quoting an anonymous review on social media); if so, add it here.

• Ratings and notes are members' personal opinions, not statements of fact or the views of Mazi.
• Restaurant averages, rankings and badges such as “Yiayia approved” are calculated from members' ratings.
• Confirm your policy, e.g. “Restaurants can't pay to change their ratings or position in rankings.”
• Restaurant details such as names and addresses come from public data sources and member suggestions, and may be out of date. If something's wrong, report it in the app or contact us.

The Mazi name, logo, app and website design, and our own content, such as The Mazi Journal, belong to Mazi. You may not use them without our written permission, except to refer to Mazi accurately.

If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without any obligation to you.

Members can report ratings and profiles, and block other members. The app also filters certain prohibited words. We review reports and may remove content, or limit an account, that we believe breaks these terms or puts others at risk.

We don't review everything posted on Mazi and aren't responsible for members' content, but we may remove any content at our discretion. Needs legal review

You can stop using Mazi and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, harms other members, or puts Mazi at legal risk. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you why. Needs legal review

Mazi may link to restaurants' websites, social media and other services we don't control. We're not responsible for their content or practices.

Mazi is a new service, provided “as is” and “as available.” We work to keep it running and accurate, but we don't promise it will always be available, error-free, or that restaurant information is complete or current. Always check details such as opening hours and allergens with the restaurant directly. Needs legal review

To the extent permitted by law, Mazi won't be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of Mazi, and our total liability to you is limited to [amount]. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you. Needs legal review

These terms are governed by the laws of [state / country]. If you have a concern, please contact us first. We'd like to resolve it directly. Needs legal review

We may update these terms as Mazi grows. We'll update the effective date on this page and, for significant changes, let members know in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use Mazi afterwards means you accept the updated terms.
