Terms of Service

Welcome to Good Resto, the unapologetically exacting guide to America’s dining scene, established in 2020 and distinguished by our trio of covert, unannounced visits before any review sees the light of day. As a discerning diner aged 28‑50, you’re expected to uphold the same high standards we demand of the kitchens we critique.

1. Accurate Profile Information: You must provide truthful, up‑to‑date personal data when creating an account. Misrepresenting your identity, age, or location will be treated as a culinary faux pas and result in immediate suspension.
2. Respectful Interaction: When posting comments, ratings, or photos, maintain a tone befitting a seasoned food critic. Harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks on restaurants, staff, or fellow users are strictly prohibited.
3. Authentic Content: All reviews, photos, and videos must be your original work. Plagiarism, fabricated experiences, or the use of stock imagery will be expunged and may lead to account termination.
4. No Spam or Solicitation: Posting promotional material, affiliate links, or unsolicited offers—whether for competing review sites, culinary products, or reservation services—is forbidden.
5. Reservation Integrity: Do not manipulate reservation systems, create false bookings, or encourage others to no‑show. Such conduct undermines the trust diners place in Good Resto’s recommendations.
6. Compliance with Laws: All activities on the site must adhere to United States federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to privacy, intellectual property, and consumer protection statutes.
7. Prohibited Content: Uploading defamatory statements, obscene material, or any content that infringes on third‑party rights is a violation. This includes disclosing confidential restaurant information obtained without permission.
8. Data Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Sharing accounts or allowing unauthorized access is a breach of our security policy.
9. Reporting Violations: If you encounter content that contravenes these terms, promptly use the “Report” feature. Failure to report known infractions may result in shared liability.
10. Enforcement: Good Resto reserves the right to remove offending content, suspend or terminate accounts, and pursue legal remedies for repeated or egregious violations, without prior notice.
