Terms of Service

Welcome to Time to Eat, operated by Clearly. By accessing or using our mobile application and website at gettimetoeat.com (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

Time to Eat is a mealtime notification app. You create “Tables” (groups of people), and when it's time to eat, you press a button to send everyone a notification. Table members with the app receive push notifications. Members added via phone number receive an SMS composed from your device.

2. Eligibility & Account Creation

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's consent to use the Service. You can sign in with Google, Apple, or email and password.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.

3. Free and Paid Plans

Time to Eat offers two tiers:

• Free — 1 Table, up to 6 members per Table, 5 SMS pings per month, 2 notification sounds
• Time to Eat+ (Plus) — up to 10 Tables, 25 members per Table, unlimited SMS pings, all custom notification sounds, and priority support

Subscription Terms

• Time to Eat+ is available as a monthly ($3.99/month) or annual ($29.99/year) auto-renewing subscription
• Payment is charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase
• Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period
• You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your device's app store settings
• No refunds are provided for unused portions of a subscription period
• Prices may change with reasonable notice; existing subscribers will be notified before any price increase takes effect on their next renewal

4. SMS Messaging

When you add a member to a Table via phone number and send a ping, the Service opens your device's native messaging app with a pre-composed text message. You must tap send to deliver it. These messages:

• Are sent from your phone number, not from Time to Eat's servers
• Are subject to your carrier's messaging rates and data plan
• Are your responsibility — you must have the recipient's consent before adding them to a Table

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to spam, harass, or send unwanted notifications to anyone
• Add people to Tables without their knowledge or consent
• Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
• Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or its infrastructure
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent free tier limits
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Service

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.

6. Intellectual Property

The Time to Eat name, logo, “Ding” mascot, and all related visual design, code, and content are the property of Clearly or its licensors. All rights reserved. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without prior written permission.

7. User Content

You retain ownership of any content you create within the Service (Table names, display names, etc.). By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, display, and transmit your content solely for the purpose of operating the Service.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that notifications will be delivered instantly, reliably, or at all. Notification delivery depends on third-party services including Apple Push Notification Service, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and mobile carriers for SMS, none of which are under our control.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Clearly and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or $50, whichever is greater.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Clearly from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights.

11. Modifications to the Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of significant changes.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email at least 14 days in advance. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

13. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
