Foodporn isn't responsible for lots of stuff

  1. Listings and Reviews
    1. We provide the Foodporn Website to create a 100per cent independent platform for You to discover, review and rate lots of Business es.
    2. However, Foodporn is not the source of any information contained in a Listing or Review. Foodporn doesn't own or run any restaurant, cafe or bar. We aren't chefs, sommeliers or food critics (We're not that talented). We are wholly independent.
    3. Foodporn doesn't investigate whether a Listing or Review is complete, accurate, or not misleading or deceptive in any way. As We don't run any accounts, We don't monitor or review any Listing s or Reviews.
    4. Foodporn is a mere conduit: We merely pass on the information in Listing s or Reviews for what it is worth. We don't know or believe anything about that information, or adopt or endorse any of it.
      1. Foodporn is a mere conduit: a convenient medium by which a Listing is conveyed to a hungry diner or parched patron, and the diner's or patron's Reviews are conveyed to the public. We don't create any Content, or adopt anyone else's Content (even if We modify or reproduce it), We just stir it up and pass it on.
      2. Foodporn merely communicates what a Business is Representing in a Listing, or what a Reviewer is Representing in a Review.
    5. So, Foodporn is not responsible for the information We communicate.
    6. To the extent the Law permits, Foodporn doesn't expressly or impliedly Represent anything at all regarding any Listing or Review published on the Foodporn Website, Including that Foodporn doesn't expressly or impliedly:
      1. promise that any Content in a Listing or Review is correct or true;
      2. Represent that We adopt any Content in a Listing or Review as Our own;
      3. Represent that We endorse any Content in a Listing or Review;
      4. Represent that We know or reasonably believe that the Content in a Listing or Review is correct or true;
      5. Represent that any Listing or Review is not false, misleading or deceptive, or Offensive; or
      6. Represent that any Reviewer had a reasonable ground for his or her opinion put forward in a Review.
    7. You must exercise Your own judgment. You must not rely on any express or implied Representation that You believe Foodporn has made in agreeing to publish any Listing or Review. If You rely on any alleged Representation after We have advised You not to do so, You will have failed to take reasonable care. You should make Your own inquiries, and then rely on the results of those inquiries.
    8. To the extent the Law permits, Foodporn won't be liable to Anyone for any and all Damage suffered or incurred, or any and all Claims, Resulting From any Listing or Review.
    9. Foodporn doesn't owe You a duty of care in relation to any Listing or Review.

      3. any data or information We collect and hold is not Compromised.
    2. To the extent the Law permits, Foodporn doesn't expressly or impliedly Represent anything at all regarding the Foodporn Website 's availability or performance, or the integrity, quality or security of the data or information that Foodporn holds.
    3. You must exercise Your own judgment. You must not rely on any express or implied Representation that You believe Foodporn has made in operating the Foodporn Website or in collecting and holding data or information. If You rely on any alleged Representation after We have advised You not to do so, You will have failed to take reasonable care. You should make Your own inquiries, and then rely on the results of those inquiries.
    4. Foodporn provides the Foodporn Website on an 'as is' basis. As such, to the extent the Law permits, Foodporn won't be liable to Anyone for any and all Damage suffered or incurred, or any and all Claims, Resulting From:
      1. the Foodporn Website 's availability or performance, Including its reliability or ability to meet Your needs; or
      2. the fact that any data or information that Foodporn has collected or held is Compromised.
    5. Foodporn doesn't owe You a duty of care regarding the Foodporn Website 's availability or performance, or the integrity, quality or security of the data or information that Foodporn holds.
  4. Implied terms
    1. To the extent the Law permits, Foodporn excludes its liability for breach of any and all implied terms regarding the Foodporn Website ( Including regarding the Foodporn Website 's availability or performance).
    2. To the extent Foodporn can't exclude its liability under a term which applies to any services that Foodporn provides ( Including the Foodporn Services ), Foodporn 's liability for breaching that term is limited to re-supplying the relevant services, without charging You.
    3. You may choose expressly or impliedly to let Foodporn know about any purpose(s) for which You are acquiring the Foodporn Services, or the result(s) that You wish the Foodporn Services (or their product) to achieve. If so, You must not rely on Foodporn 's skill or judgment; rather, You must exercise Your own judgment. You should make Your own inquiries, and then rely on the results of those inquiries
