Terms of Use
LunchCruncher does not have a whole team of lawyers, and so we've tried to make this as simple as possible:
  • The terms "we" and "our" below means "LunchCruncher", and the term "you" (and related "your") refers to the reader of this document as well as any and all visitors to this site.
  • LunchCruncher reserves the right to terminate any account (including yours) for any reason whatsoever. We're not complete jerks, and so we won't just terminate your account for no reason. However, whether you explicitly violate the terms below or you just violate the spirit of these terms, we may terminate your account. In place of termination, your account may be limited as to your ability to add new restaurants, edit restaurants, send requests, review restaurants, create groups, and/or any other site functions that we deem applicable.
  • LunchCruncher's web site may not be used for any purpose that violates the laws of the United States, those of the State of New York, or any other applicable juridiction. Don't worry, that's pretty easy to comply with if you're using our site for its intended purpose.
  • Images of a pornographic, disgusting, and/or inflammatory nature are prohibited and will be removed from our systems as soon as we are aware of them and are able to remove them.
  • Any comment, request, review or other content that you upload or otherwise transmit to our servers that is of a derogatory, inflammatory and/or libelous nature is subject to removal. All content (including comments, requests, and reviews) is subject to review by our administrators, and may be removed at our discretion.
  • Any content that you upload or otherwise transmit to our servers that is protected by copyright is subject to removal from our systems. All content (including comments, requests, and reviews) is subject to review by our administrators, and may be removed at our discretion.
  • All restaurant reviews are first read by a site editor who approves them for publication to the site. For the most part, offensive language, irrelevant commentary, personal addresses to other users, and "spam" in general will result in a review being disapproved. Sometimes a restaurant review may be disapproved either because our editors are lead to believe from the content that the owner (or other interested party) of the restaurant wrote the review as a form of advertising. In the same vein, reviews that our editors deem to be overly negative (to the point of being malicious) may be disapproved. In most cases, you will have the ability to edit a review that was disapproved, and re-submit it to our editors.
  • Any abuse of our systems (including but not limited to: port scaning, DoS attacks, hack attempts, third-party use of hosted images, etc.), whether intentional or not, may result in the blocking of IP addresses from where that abuse originated. It may also result in the notification of internet service providers that carried the traffic associated with the abuse, and may lead to civil and/or criminal proceedings against those committing the abuse.
  • LunchCruncher sends automated email to our members that decide to receive it. You can change your email preferences right on your home page after logging in. It is our policy not to send spam. If you are receiving emails that you don't wish to receive, please submit a support request and an actual Human will get back to you, probably in less than 24 hours.
  • By submitting restauarant reviews to LunchCruncher you are giving LunchCruncher the right to reproduce and re-transmit that content on our web site, as well as to publish, print, re-transmit, reproduce or otherwise use that content as we see fit.
  • By submitting any content to LunchCruncher you are giving LunchCruncher the right to reproduce and re-transmit that content on our web site.
  • All that being said, LunchCruncher is a place where people can collaborate to create and maintain a robust and complete database of restaurants, review and rate restaurants, and play games in order to decide where to eat. This web site is all about eating good food and having fun. If you keep that in mind while you're here we'll probably get along just fine.
If you have any questions or concerns about these terms, please contact us.

If you are concerned about how your personal information is handled, please read our privacy policy.
