Terms of use

Your account and your responsibilities

Use accurate information, protect your account, and use only your own identity. Membership is subject to approval. You are responsible for your submissions and activity, including activity through an account you permit someone else to use. Do not evade restrictions by creating another account. Tell support promptly about unauthorized access.

Independent members and business dealings

Members and their businesses are independent. Membership creates no employment, agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture, or authority to bind us. Members are responsible for their statements, qualifications, licenses, insurance, products, services, contracts, pricing, payment, taxes, refunds, warranties, and compliance with applicable requirements. A profile, approval, review, referral, promotion, or listing is not our certification, endorsement, background check, insurance, or guarantee. Verify credentials and suitability yourself, agree on transaction terms directly, and obtain professional advice where appropriate. We do not guarantee referrals, income, attendance, quality, or results.

Meetups and personal safety

Unless a listing expressly says otherwise, members arrange and host meetups; we provide the platform. Hosts are responsible for venue permission, arrangements, capacity, accurate details, and applicable requirements. Participants decide whether a person, venue, activity, or online meeting is suitable. Read and acknowledge the Meetup Safety and Risk Notice before hosting or booking. Approval and content screening do not guarantee a safe participant or meetup. Check current venue hours, accessibility, food arrangements, and kosher certification directly with the venue. A listing is not a certification of kashrut.

Posts, messages, pictures, and third-party information

You remain responsible for the content you submit, including private messages, photos, logos, promotions, reviews, and referrals. Submit only content you have the right to use and share. Obtain permission before posting another person’s image, personal details, confidential information, or a referral. Do not misrepresent facts, impersonate anyone, infringe rights, or make unlawful or misleading claims. Do not post sensitive personal, financial, medical, or identity information in community areas.

You retain your rights in your content and grant us a nonexclusive license to host, store, reproduce, display to the intended audience, format, and process it as reasonably needed to operate, secure, moderate, and support the service. This does not give us ownership of your work or a general right to sell it. Permissions already granted to other members or records lawfully retained for safety and dispute handling may outlast removal from public display.

Community standards and moderation

The Community Standards are part of these terms. We may screen submissions automatically and review reports or flagged content, including relevant private messages and images, through authorized staff and service providers. We may reject, hold, hide, or remove content and restrict or block an account for safety, suspected abuse, unlawful activity, or material breaches. Serious signals may cause immediate blocking pending review. Screening can make mistakes and cannot detect every problem. It is not a promise of continuous monitoring or preapproval of all content.

A blocked member can request review at support@myjewishcoffeeconnect.com. Administrators may correct decisions and restore access. Blocking is an access restriction, not automatic deletion of the account or every record. Use Report a safety or content concern to report misconduct or request removal, including if you are not a member.

Service availability and communications

The service, venue information, links, and member content are provided as available. We do not warrant that information is complete, current, error-free, or suitable for a particular purpose, or that communications will always arrive. Member email and text preferences are separate; text notifications require a specific opt-in. See the SMS Terms and Privacy Policy. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features subject to applicable law.

Limits of responsibility and liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES AND LIABILITY FOR INDEPENDENT USERS’ CONTENT, CONDUCT, ADVICE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND TRANSACTIONS, AND FOR MEMBER-ARRANGED MEETUPS, THIRD-PARTY VENUES, TRAVEL, OR LINKS. TO THAT SAME EXTENT, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES ARISING FROM USE OF THE PLATFORM.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights, remedies, or liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit. These terms do not excuse fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or other conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be limited. Consumer protections and other mandatory rights remain available. Any limitation applies only as far as the law allows in the particular circumstances.

Claims caused by your conduct

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to reimburse us for reasonable losses, third-party claims, and legal costs caused by your unlawful conduct, infringement of another person’s rights, material misrepresentation, or material breach of these terms. This obligation does not cover losses caused by our own conduct to the extent applicable law makes us responsible. We will give reasonable notice of a claim and allow appropriate participation in its defense; no settlement may admit fault or impose a nonmonetary obligation on you without your agreement.

Updates and concerns

We will identify the effective version of material changes and request renewed acceptance before continued member posting or booking. Changes do not retroactively expand consent to communications. If a provision cannot be enforced, the remaining terms apply to the extent permitted by law. Raise account, safety, or service concerns at support@myjewishcoffeeconnect.com. This service is not an emergency response service.
