Last Updated: 11/8/20
Below are our Terms of Service for our “Platform”, which means any website, application, or service we offer.

The Terms of Service includes information about your legal rights and covers areas such as automatic subscription renewals, limitations of liability, resolution of disputes by mandatory arbitration rather than a judge or jury in a court of law, and a class action waiver.
These Terms are effective for all existing and future Dyne users, including but without limitation to users having access to ‘restaurant business page’ to manage their claimed business listings. Please read these Terms very carefully. By accessing or using the Dyne’s Platform, you are agreeing to these Terms and concluding a legally binding contract with DYNE TECHNOLOGIES INC. and/or its affiliates.

These fees are billed on a regular and recurring basis (unless you disable auto-renewal or cancel your subscription), and may change in the future.
Fees Charged by Dyne. Use of some of the features on our Platform is free, and we charge fees for other features.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we expressly disclaim any liability for any offensive, defamatory, illegal, invasive, unfair, or infringing content provided by third parties.

User Reviews: User reviews or ratings for Restaurants do not reflect the opinion of Dyne. Dyne receives multiple reviews or ratings for Restaurants by users, which reflect the opinions of the Users. It is pertinent to state that each and every review posted on Dyne is the personal opinion of the user/reviewer only. Dyne is a neutral platform, which solely provides a means of communication between users/reviewers including users or restaurant owners/representatives with access to restaurant business page. The advertisements published on the Dyne Platform are independent of the reviews received by such advertisers.
We are a neutral platform, however in case if someone writes a review that the restaurant does not consider to be true, the best option for the restaurant representative would be to contact the reviewer or post a public response in order to clear up any misunderstandings. If the Restaurant believes that any particular user’s review violates any of the Dyne policies, the restaurant may write to us at dyne.devs@gmail.com and bring such violation to our attention. Dyne may remove the review in its sole discretion if review is in violation of the Terms, or content guidelines and policies or otherwise harmful to the Services
Summary: To the full extent permitted by applicable law, you agree not to hold us responsible for anything that happens related to transactions with third parties, member interactions, or in connection with a Dyne event.
