Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the 86 Empty Seats website at 86emptyseats.com (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.

Who we are

86 Empty Seats is a restaurant marketing agency, led by founder Daniel Ruiz with a vetted network of specialists. The Site provides information about our services and educational content for restaurant owners and operators.

Using the Site

You may use the Site for your own informational and business purposes. You agree not to misuse it, for example by attempting to disrupt or interfere with it, scraping it at scale, copying our content for republication, or using it for anything unlawful.

Information, not professional advice

The content on this Site, including our blog and guides, is general information to help restaurant operators. It is not legal, financial, tax, or other professional advice, and it is not a guarantee of any particular result. Marketing outcomes depend on many factors outside our control. Please use your own judgment and consult a qualified professional for advice specific to your situation.

No client relationship from the Site alone

Contacting us, booking a call, or reading our content does not by itself create a client or contractual relationship. Any services we provide are governed by a separate written agreement between you and 86 Empty Seats.

Intellectual property

The Site and its content, including text, design, graphics, and logos, are owned by 86 Empty Seats or used with permission, and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Third-party photographs are used under their respective licenses and credited where required. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute our content without our written permission.

Third-party links and services

The Site may link to or rely on third-party websites and tools, such as our scheduling and form providers. We don’t control those services and aren’t responsible for their content, policies, or availability.

Disclaimer

The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. We work to keep the information current and correct, but we don’t warrant that it always is.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, 86 Empty Seats, its founder, and its specialists will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site or your reliance on its content.

Governing law

86 Empty Seats operates online and serves restaurants across the United States. These Terms, and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Site, are governed by applicable United States law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If 86 Empty Seats establishes a registered place of business, the laws of that jurisdiction will also apply.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted, and we’ll update the “last updated” date above.
