Terms of Service

Grubbin helps you decide where to eat or drink by surfacing a single, well-reviewed suggestion (a “Pick”) from places near you, and by letting a group converge on one Pick together in a shared Room. It is a convenience tool, not a booking, ordering, or directions service in its own right.

The places Grubbin shows come from Google’s search results. Grubbin does not own, operate, verify, or endorse any of them. That means:

• A suggested place may be closed, fully booked, no longer in business, or different from what its listing says. Hours, prices, ratings, photos, and open-now status come from Google and can be out of date or wrong.
• Grubbin cannot guarantee a place exists, is open, will serve you, or will match your expectations. Always confirm with the venue before you rely on a Pick.
• Search coverage and quality depend on Google. In some areas there may be few results or none, and Grubbin is currently available only in the United States.

The map, the “directions” action, and the Handoff links that pass you to a Provider (OpenTable, Resy, DoorDash, or Uber Eats) are conveniences provided as-is. Each Handoff link is a pre-filled search on the Provider’s site, not a guaranteed link to a specific venue’s page; the search may land on the wrong place, multiple places, or none. Once you follow a link, leave a map, or place an order or reservation, you are dealing with that other company under its own terms. Grubbin is not a party to that transaction and is not responsible for it.

Some Handoff links are affiliate links, and Grubbin may earn a commission if you reserve or order through them, at no extra cost to you. This never affects which place Grubbin picks. See the Privacy Policy for the full affiliate disclosure.

Use Grubbin for its intended purpose: finding a place to eat or drink. You agree not to:

• scrape, crawl, or hammer the service with automated requests, or try to evade its rate limits;
• copy, resell, or redistribute the underlying place data, or use it to build a competing dataset;
• interfere with, disrupt, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to Grubbin, its infrastructure, or the Rooms of other users;
• use Grubbin in any way that breaks the law or violates the terms of Google or the Providers Grubbin links to.

Rooms are shared spaces; do not use them to send abusive, unlawful, or infringing content. Grubbin may rate-limit, block, or remove access to keep the service working for everyone.

Grubbin is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Grubbin does not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any Pick will meet your needs.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Grubbinand the people who make it will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of (or inability to use) Grubbin, including a place that turned out to be closed, unavailable, or not as expected, or anything that happens on a Provider’s site after a Handoff. Grubbin is a free tool, and to the extent any liability is found despite the above, it is limited to the amount you paid to use Grubbin, which is nothing.

These terms may change. When they do, the “last updated” date above will change with them, and continuing to use Grubbin means you accept the revised terms.
