1 · Agreeing to these terms
By creating a TableVox account or using the app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the app — that's the whole stick. We may update these terms occasionally; if a change is material you'll see a notice in the app and the "Effective" date above will move.
2 · What TableVox is
TableVox is a community-powered menu translator. You photograph a menu, our backend reads it and translates each dish into your preferred language, and the result is saved so the next diner at the same restaurant gets an instant menu. You can like and comment on dishes, set allergens, and assemble a "plate" of items to show your waiter.
3 · Your account
- You're responsible for what happens under your account, including keeping your password reasonable.
- One person per account. Don't let other people sign in as you.
- If you sign in with Google or Apple, you're also bound by their terms with respect to that login.
- You can delete your account anytime by writing to [email protected]. See the privacy notice for what happens to your data.
4 · Translations are best-effort, not authoritative
Important — allergens, especially. TableVox translations come from machine learning models. They're usually good, sometimes wrong, and they don't know what's actually on the kitchen line.
Always confirm with the waiter before ordering if you have a serious allergy. The original menu language stays visible next to every translation so you can point at it and ask. Allergen warnings in the app are a hint, not a guarantee.
Same goes for price, ingredients, and dietary tags — TableVox is a reading aid, not a substitute for asking your server. We're not responsible for ordering mistakes, missed allergens, or anything else that happens at the table on the strength of a translation alone.
5 · What you upload (menu photos, comments)
When you photograph a menu and submit it, you grant TableVox a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and translate that photo so other diners at the same restaurant can read the menu. The same goes for comments and dish photos you post.
You promise that:
- You took the photo yourself, or you have the right to share it.
- The restaurant doesn't post a "no photography" sign you're ignoring.
- You're not uploading menus that contain trademarks or copyrighted artwork beyond the menu itself (you photograph the printed menu, not the chef's painting on the wall).
- Comments and dish photos are your own — no harassment, no spam, no images of other people without their consent.
We may remove uploads that get reported and confirmed as violating these rules. We may also remove uploads on request from the restaurant owner.
6 · Acceptable use
Please don't:
- Harass other diners through comments or reports.
- Upload content unrelated to a menu (spam, ads, unrelated photos).
- Reverse-engineer, scrape, or republish the TableVox menu library to compete with us.
- Submit content you don't have rights to.
- Try to break the app — rate-limit evasion, injection attempts, the usual.
If you do, we may suspend or terminate your account.
7 · Costs
TableVox is free at launch. If we ever introduce paid features, the core translate-the-menu flow stays free. We'll tell you before any change to pricing.
8 · Termination
You can stop using TableVox and delete your account anytime. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. On termination, we delete what we can within seven days, except anonymised menu uploads, which stay in the public library so future diners can read them.
9 · The "as-is" part
TableVox is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We do our best to keep translations accurate, the app fast, and your data safe, but the world is messy. We disclaim implied warranties to the maximum extent the law permits — including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
10 · Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TableVox and its operators won't be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the app. Our total liability for direct damages is capped at whatever you've paid us in the prior twelve months — which, for a free app, is usually zero.
Some jurisdictions don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
11 · Indemnification
You'll indemnify TableVox against claims that arise from content you upload or from your violation of these terms. We promise the same in reverse for issues caused by our service itself.
12 · Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute that can't be sorted by writing to us first goes to the state or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida.
