Terms of Service
BiteNow connects hungry diners with nearby restaurants and bars offering limited-time flash deals. By using the app you agree to these terms.
For diners
- Deals are available for a short window and may run out early.
- Claiming a deal does not guarantee seating; check with the restaurant before ordering.
- Show your claim at the door or register when you arrive.
- Do not create multiple accounts to hoard claims or bypass limits.
For restaurants
- You are responsible for the accuracy of deal details, inventory, and pricing.
- Deals must be honored as described during the listed time window.
- You may not post misleading, illegal, or harmful offers.
- We reserve the right to remove abusive accounts or deals without notice.
Refund Policy
Restaurants pay a small blast fee to publish a deal.
- Before a deal is announced: You can refund the blast fee from your restaurant dashboard.
- After a deal is announced / blasted: You can still cancel the deal so it disappears from the feed, but the blast fee is not refunded. The value was delivered when the deal reached nearby diners.
Privacy Policy
We collect only what we need to show you nearby deals and run the service.
- Location: We use your device location to sort deals by distance. Approximate location is used when precise location is not allowed. You can disable location in your browser settings.
- Account data: If you claim a deal we store an email and a generated user ID so restaurants can verify your claim.
- Preferences: Allergy, sensitivity, and lifestyle filters are stored locally on your device unless you sign in, in which case they may be synced to your account.
- Payments: Restaurant payment details are handled by Stripe. We do not store raw card numbers on our servers.
- No sale of data: We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Data & Security
- All data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS.
