NextBite Terms of Service

Effective date: September 14, 2026 Version: 2026-09-14

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Evan Wang, Kevin Wang, and Ryan Kang, doing business as NextBite (“NextBite,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the NextBite iOS application, its share extension, our website at https://trynextbite.app, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By creating an account, selecting “Agree,” or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf where required by law.

You may not use the Service if prohibited by applicable law. You represent that information you provide about your age and identity is accurate.

2. Accounts

You may need an account to use some or all of the Service. You agree to provide accurate information, maintain account security, not share or misuse credentials, and promptly notify us of suspected unauthorized access.

You may sign in through Apple, Google, or another supported provider. Your relationship with that provider is also governed by its terms.

We may reject, suspend, restrict, or terminate an account when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, enforce these Terms, comply with law, or address security, fraud, abuse, or intellectual-property concerns.

3. The Service

NextBite helps users save, organize, rank, and discover restaurants from public links and other sources. Features may include maps, directions, collections, rankings, social connections, embedded third-party content, restaurant extraction, generated summaries, and related tools.

The Service may use automated systems to identify restaurants, dishes, addresses, and other details. Results may be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, unavailable, or matched to the wrong restaurant. You are responsible for confirming important information directly with the restaurant or source.

The Service is currently offered without charge. We may add paid features later. If we do, we will provide the price and applicable purchase terms before charging you and will use Apple’s required purchase system where applicable.

4. Usage Limits

To prevent abuse and manage processing costs, NextBite may impose technical and usage limits. The current limit is up to 100 new restaurant-processing requests per account per UTC calendar month. Actions that do not require new processing, such as viewing previously processed restaurants or copying an already available restaurant where permitted, may not count toward this limit.

We may also apply reasonable per-minute, daily, device, account, source, or system-wide limits to protect availability and security. We may change limits prospectively based on capacity, abuse, costs, or product design.

You may not bypass limits by creating multiple accounts, manipulating clients, making unauthorized database writes, automating requests, or otherwise circumventing controls.

5. Your Content and Instructions

“Your Content” means information you submit, save, create, or make available through the Service, such as URLs, notes, collections, rankings, ratings, profile information, reports, and social activity. Third-party videos, captions, restaurant information, and other source material do not become your property merely because you submit a link to them.

You retain any rights you have in Your Content. You grant NextBite a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, format, display, and transmit Your Content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and provide the Service, comply with your instructions, and enforce these Terms. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from active systems, except for information retained in backups, shared or deidentified records, legal records, or as otherwise described in the Privacy Policy.

You represent that you have the right to submit Your Content and that doing so does not violate law, contractual duties, privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, or other rights.

Comments are not available in version 1. If comments or other new user-generated content features are added later, additional community rules and moderation controls may apply.

6. Acceptable Use

You may not use the Service to:

• Violate any law, regulation, court order, contract, or third-party right;

• Infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, database, or other proprietary rights;

• Submit private, stolen, unlawfully obtained, or access-controlled content without authorization;

• Harass, threaten, stalk, bully, impersonate, defame, discriminate against, or exploit another person;

• Post or facilitate sexual exploitation, child sexual abuse material, nonconsensual intimate material, human trafficking, violence, or illegal activity;

• Upload malware, malicious code, fraudulent links, or content intended to damage or interfere with systems;

• Probe, scan, exploit, reverse engineer, bypass, or defeat authentication, authorization, App Check, rate limits, quotas, or security controls, except to the extent prohibited by law;

• Scrape, crawl, copy, harvest, or automate access without our written permission;

• Access another user’s account or private information;

• Manipulate rankings, reports, reviews, analytics, or engagement;

• Use multiple accounts to evade a restriction or usage limit;

• Place unreasonable load on the Service or cause excessive third-party processing costs; or

• Use the Service to build or train a competing dataset, model, directory, or product without our written permission.

We may investigate suspected violations and remove content, restrict features, block users, preserve evidence, cooperate with lawful authorities, or suspend or terminate accounts.

7. Social Features, Reports, and Blocking

The Service may allow users to find friends, share selected restaurant activity, view profiles, like activity, report content or users, and block users.

Information made visible to an accepted friend may be copied, screenshotted, or independently saved. Removing or blocking someone limits future access through the Service but cannot undo information previously obtained outside the Service.

Do not use profile names, images, invitations, saved content, or other features for abusive, misleading, illegal, or infringing purposes. We may review reports and take appropriate action, but we do not promise to monitor every item or resolve every dispute.

8. Third-Party Content and Services

The Service may display or process links, embeds, metadata, maps, directions, restaurant data, and other material provided by TikTok, Instagram/Meta, YouTube/Google, Apple, Foursquare, creators, restaurants, and other third parties.

Third-party content remains owned by its respective owner. NextBite does not endorse, control, or guarantee it. Content may be removed, made private, changed, blocked, unavailable, offensive, inaccurate, or subject to separate age restrictions.

Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies. You must not use NextBite to access third-party material in a way you are not authorized to access it.

9. Restaurant, Food, Location, and Directions Disclaimer

NextBite is an organizational and discovery tool, not a restaurant, food provider, delivery service, health provider, allergen authority, or navigation service.

Restaurant names, addresses, hours, menu items, prices, availability, dietary labels, descriptions, photos, safety information, and directions may be wrong or outdated. Generated summaries may contain errors. Restaurants may change ingredients or preparation methods without notice.

You must verify allergies, dietary restrictions, ingredients, cross-contamination risks, operating hours, reservations, prices, accessibility, and directions directly with the restaurant or appropriate provider. Do not rely on NextBite for medical, nutritional, allergy, emergency, or safety decisions.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, interfaces, original text, and other NextBite materials, is owned by or licensed to NextBite and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Service for lawful, noncommercial purposes.

Except as permitted by law or with our written permission, you may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, create derivative works from, or exploit NextBite materials; use our trademarks in a misleading way; or remove proprietary notices.

“NextBite” and associated logos may be trademarks of their respective owner. These Terms do not grant you any trademark license.

11. Copyright Complaints

If you believe material available through the Service infringes your copyright, email our Copyright Agent at nextbitesupport@gmail.com with the subject “DMCA Notice.” Include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;

2. Identification of the copyrighted work;

3. Identification and location of the allegedly infringing material sufficient for us to find it;

4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;

5. A good-faith statement that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law; and

6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner.

We may remove or restrict material and notify the affected user. If you believe material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g). We may restore material as permitted by law. We may terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.

Submitting a knowingly false notice or counter-notice may create liability. This process is for copyright notices and does not replace other support or legal channels.

12. Feedback

If you send suggestions, ideas, or feedback about NextBite, you grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use and disclose that feedback without compensation or obligation to you. This does not give us ownership of unrelated personal information or Your Content.

13. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The version presented for acceptance in the app should match the version published at https://trynextbite.app/legal/privacy.

14. Account Deletion and Termination

You may delete your account through Settings → Delete Account. Deletion is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. A limited pseudonymous record of your acceptance of these Terms and the Privacy Policy may be retained after deletion for legal proof.

We may suspend or terminate access, remove content, or limit features if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk, caused abuse or excessive cost, infringed rights, or if action is required by law or a third-party platform.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, dispute terms, and legal-record provisions.

15. Changes to the Service or Terms

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict features. We do not guarantee that any particular restaurant, source platform, embed, integration, or feature will remain available.

We may update these Terms. We will post the updated Terms, change the effective date, and provide additional notice or request renewed acceptance when required or when changes are material. Continuing to use the Service after an effective update constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by law.

16. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” NextBite disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, availability, and security.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of harmful components, or that restaurant information, generated outputs, embeds, maps, directions, or third-party content will be accurate or available.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, NextBite and its operators, contributors, service providers, and representatives will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages; loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunities; personal decisions based on inaccurate restaurant or food information; third-party conduct or content; unauthorized account access; or Service interruption.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability of NextBite and its operators for all claims arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

1. The amount you paid NextBite for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or

2. One hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).

These limitations apply regardless of legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for intentional misconduct where applicable.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NextBite and its operators and representatives from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Service, Your Content, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from NextBite’s own unlawful conduct and does not limit nonwaivable consumer rights.

19. Governing Law and Disputes

Before filing a formal claim, you and NextBite agree to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Send a written description of the dispute and requested resolution to nextbitesupport@gmail.com with the subject “Legal Dispute.”

These Terms and disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent federal law or nonwaivable law in your home jurisdiction applies.

Any lawsuit arising from or relating to the Service or these Terms must be brought in a state or federal court located in Cook County, Illinois, and you and NextBite consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Either party may bring an eligible claim in small-claims court. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief where legally available.

These Terms do not require arbitration and do not waive any right to participate in a class action that applicable law provides.

20. Apple App Store Terms

If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store:

• These Terms are between you and NextBite, not Apple.

• Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content, maintenance, or support.

• NextBite, not Apple, is responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product-liability, legal-compliance, and consumer-protection claims.

• If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund any purchase price paid for the app where required. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

• NextBite, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and resolving claims that the app infringes third-party intellectual-property rights.

• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not listed on a U.S. government prohibited or restricted-party list.

• You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app.

• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the App Store provisions against you.

21. General Terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the entire agreement between you and NextBite concerning the Service, except for additional terms expressly presented for a specific feature.

If a provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or transfer of the Service.

Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.” Electronic communications and acceptances satisfy requirements for written communications to the extent permitted by law.
