Last Updated: June 5, 2026 • Effective Date: June 5, 2026
Viz Answers, Inc., doing business as “Universal Drinkers” (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit, access, or use drinkslooker.com, app.drinkslooker.com, our Store Management dashboard, and our related mobile or web applications, content, functionality, and services (collectively, the “Website”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
This Policy applies to information we collect on the Website; in email, text, push notifications, and other electronic messages between you and the Website; and through mobile and desktop applications you download from the Website. This Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Website Terms of Use. By using the Website, you agree to this Policy.
Age restriction (21+). The Website concerns alcohol-related venues and beverages and is offered and available only to users who are 21 years of age or older and who reside in the United States or its territories or possessions. The Website is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under 21 years of age. If you are not at least 21 years old and a U.S. resident, do not use the Website or provide any information to us.
Please read this Policy carefully. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use the Website. If you have any questions, contact us at [email protected].
This Policy applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Website, whether as a guest, a registered consumer user, or a business owner, store operator, or authorized team member using our Store Management dashboard and related business tools (the “Business Services”). It does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or through the Website.
We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Policy on this page, update the “Last Updated” date above, and, where required by law, provide additional notice (such as by email or an in-app notice). Your continued use of the Website after we post changes means you accept those changes. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information by which you may be personally identified (“personal information”); information about your internet connection, the equipment you use to access our Website, and usage details; and other information described below. We collect this information directly from you, automatically as you navigate through the Website, and from third parties.
The information we collect directly from you may include:
As you navigate through and interact with the Website, we and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, software development kits (SDKs), and other tracking technologies (described in Section 3) to automatically collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:
The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include personal information, and we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve the Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to estimate audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, speed up your searches, recognize you when you return, and deliver relevant advertising.
We may receive information about you from third-party sources and combine it with information we collect directly. These sources may include:
We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Website and to deliver and measure advertising. These technologies allow us to distinguish you from other users, remember your preferences, understand how you use the Website, and tailor content and advertising to you.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including to refuse or delete cookies. You may also be able to limit advertising identifiers and reset them through your mobile device settings, and to control precise location sharing through your device permissions. If you disable or refuse cookies or block certain technologies, please note that some parts of the Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
We support industry opt-out tools. You can learn about and opt out of certain interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info), the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org), and, for mobile, the DAA’s AppChoices tool. We also honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), as described in Sections 7 and 11.
Certain information we collect may be considered “sensitive” under applicable state privacy laws. For the Website, this primarily includes your precise geolocation data and your account log-in credentials. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before collecting or processing sensitive information, and we provide you the ability to limit our use and disclosure of sensitive information as described in Sections 7, 9, and 11. We do not use or disclose sensitive information for purposes other than those permitted under applicable law. We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, financial account numbers, biometric data, or health information through the Website, and you should not submit such information to us.
We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any personal information, for the following business and commercial purposes:
Artificial intelligence and machine learning. Consistent with our Terms of Use, we may use information and content, including user contributions, to develop, train, fine-tune, and improve our and our service providers’ models, algorithms, ranking and recommendation systems, and other technologies used to operate and improve the Website.
We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you without restriction. We may disclose personal information that we collect, or that you provide, as described in this Policy and as follows:
Some state privacy laws define a “sale” of personal information broadly to include disclosing personal information to a third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and define “sharing” or “targeted advertising” to include using personal information to deliver advertising based on information obtained over time and across different websites, applications, or services (sometimes called cross-context behavioral or interest-based advertising).
Our use of cookies, pixels, advertising identifiers, and similar technologies for advertising and analytics, and our disclosure of information to advertising and analytics partners, may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, or processing for “targeted advertising,” under these laws.
We may “sell” or “share” personal information (such as identifiers, device and internet activity information, and inferences) with advertising and analytics partners for cross-context behavioral/targeted advertising, and we may disclose such information to these partners through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies. You have the right to opt out of this activity as described below and in Section 11.
Subject to applicable law, you may opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising, and you may limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive information, by:
Opt-out preference signals (Global Privacy Control). Where required by applicable law, we recognize and honor opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), sent by your browser or device as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising for that browser or device, and, where you are logged in, for your account. To learn more about GPC, visit globalprivacycontrol.org.
We do not knowingly sell or share for targeted advertising the personal information of consumers we know to be under 21, and applicable state laws additionally require opt-in consent before selling or sharing the personal information of consumers under certain ages (generally 13–16).
If you choose to participate in our text messaging program or otherwise provide us your mobile number and agree to receive text messages, the following terms apply. By providing your mobile telephone number and opting in, you provide your prior express written consent to receive recurring automated marketing and informational text messages (SMS/MMS) from or on behalf of the Company at the number you provide, including messages sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other automated technology. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or of using the Website.
We will not share, sell, or rent your mobile telephone number or your consent to receive text messages to or with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes without your consent. Mobile opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third party except service providers and others that help us operate the text messaging program (such as our SMS platform provider). Our text messaging program is governed by applicable law, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and applicable state telemarketing and messaging laws, and by the messaging terms presented to you at opt-in, which are incorporated by reference.
The Website is location-based and works best when you allow location access. We may collect approximate location from your IP address and, with your permission, precise geolocation data from your device to show you nearby venues and drinks, populate our interactive map, and improve and personalize the Website. Precise geolocation is treated as sensitive information under applicable state privacy laws (generally, information that identifies your location within a radius of 1,750 feet).
You can enable or disable location services and revoke precise location permission at any time through your device or browser settings, although some features of the Website may not function properly without it. Where required by applicable law, we obtain your consent before collecting precise geolocation, and we do not sell precise geolocation data where prohibited by applicable state law.
We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us:
Depending on the U.S. state in which you reside, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable state privacy laws. As of the date of this Policy, comprehensive consumer privacy laws are in effect in the following states, and we honor the rights described below for residents of these states to the extent the applicable law applies to us and to you:
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia.
We extend the core rights below to residents of all U.S. states to the extent required by applicable law. The specific rights available to you, and any exceptions, depend on the law of your state of residence.
You (or an authorized agent acting on your behalf) may submit a request to exercise your rights by emailing us at [email protected] or by writing to us at the address in Section 17.
To protect your information, we will take steps to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests, which may include asking you to provide information that we can match against information we maintain. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally within 45 days, subject to permitted extensions). If we deny your request, you may, where your state law provides, appeal that decision by replying to our response or contacting us at [email protected]; if you have concerns about the outcome of your appeal, you may contact your state attorney general.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request to opt out or to exercise other rights on your behalf where permitted by law. We may require the agent to provide proof of authorization and may require you to verify your identity directly with us. We will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of your rights.
This section provides additional information for California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”). In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information, and disclosed each category to the categories of recipients described in Section 6 (such as service providers, advertising and analytics partners, affiliates, and other users) for business and commercial purposes described in Section 5:
Category (CCPA) Examples Collected Identifiers Name, username, email, phone number, IP address, device and advertising identifiers, account/Google sign-in ID Yes Customer records (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80) Name, contact information, and (if introduced) payment-related information Yes Commercial information Records of products or services obtained, business account activity, transaction history Yes Internet/network activity Browsing and usage data, search queries, interactions with the Website and ads Yes Geolocation data Approximate location (from IP) and precise geolocation (with permission) Yes Audio/visual information Photographs and other content you upload (e.g., with reviews) Yes Professional/employment information For business operators: business role and related information Yes Inferences Preferences and characteristics derived from the above (e.g., drink/venue interests) Yes Sensitive personal information Precise geolocation; account log-in credentials Yes Biometric, health, genetic, education, or government ID information Not intentionally collected through the Website NoThe sources of personal information are described in Section 2, the purposes for collecting and disclosing it are described in Section 5, and the categories of recipients are described in Section 6. We retain personal information as described in Section 12.
Sale/sharing of personal information. As described in Section 7, our use of advertising and analytics technologies may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of identifiers, internet/network activity, geolocation, and inferences for cross-context behavioral advertising. California residents may opt out using the methods in Sections 7 and 11.2. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16 without the required opt-in consent.
Sensitive personal information. We use and disclose sensitive personal information only for purposes permitted under the CCPA/CPRA, and California residents may direct us to limit its use and disclosure as described in Section 7.1.
Your California rights. California residents have the rights to know/access, delete, correct, opt out of sale/sharing, limit use of sensitive information, and not receive discriminatory treatment, as described above. You may make up to two access/know requests in a 12-month period.
“Shine the Light.” California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent; you may direct any such request to [email protected].
Financial incentives. If we offer any financial incentive or price or service difference related to the collection, sale, or retention of personal information, we will provide the required notice and obtain your opt-in consent at that time.
Nevada law allows Nevada residents to opt out of the sale of certain covered information to third parties who will license or sell it. We do not currently sell covered information as defined under Nevada law; however, you may submit a verified opt-out request to [email protected].
Nothing in this Section 11 requires us to take any action prohibited by, or that would conflict with, applicable law, and all rights are subject to the exceptions and limitations in the applicable state privacy law.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including to provide the Website, comply with our legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and for other legitimate business purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process it, and applicable legal requirements. User contributions may remain on the Website even after you close your account, as described in our Terms of Use. When we no longer need personal information, we will delete, de-identify, or anonymize it in accordance with applicable law.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential, and you should not share it with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to or through the Website, and any transmission is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide. If we learn of a security breach involving your personal information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by applicable law.
The Website is intended solely for users who are 21 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21, and the Website is not directed to children under 13 within the meaning of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or to minors generally. If you are under 21, do not use or provide any information on the Website. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a person under 21 without verification of appropriate age, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a person under 21, please contact us at [email protected].
The Website may contain links to, and content from, third-party websites, applications, and services, including venues’ websites, advertisers, social media features, and analytics and mapping providers. This Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third party before providing information to or through it. Any information you provide to third parties is governed by their terms and privacy policies, not this Policy.
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals, the Website does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, as described in Sections 3 and 7, we honor recognized opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by applicable law.
The Website is intended for users located in the United States and its territories and possessions, and is not intended for individuals located outside the United States. We store and process information in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.
It is our policy to post any changes we make to this Policy on this page, with a notice that the Policy has been updated on the Website home page or as otherwise required by law. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law. The date this Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for periodically visiting this Policy to check for any changes.

These additional terms (the “Business Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the Store Management dashboard and related administrative tools made available at drinkslooker.com/business/store-management.html (the “Business Services”), through which business owners, store operators, and their authorized team members can create and manage store profiles, drinks menus, team access, customer reviews, analytics, and related data. The Business Terms supplement, and are in addition to, the foregoing Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between these Business Terms and the general Terms of Use with respect to your use of the Business Services, these Business Terms control. By accessing or using the Business Services, you agree to these Business Terms.
If you access or use the Business Services on behalf of a Business, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act on behalf of, and to bind, that Business to these Terms of Use, and references to “you” in these Business Terms refer to both you individually and the Business. Your access to or use of the Business Services will be only in your capacity as an authorized representative of your Business. You are responsible for ensuring that the Business and all of its personnel comply with these Terms of Use. You will not use the consumer-facing Website for business-related activities, such as flagging reviews of, or messaging Users who have reviewed, your Business.
The Business Services are intended solely for legitimate businesses and their authorized representatives who are at least 21 years of age. You may create or claim a store profile only for a venue you own, operate, or are authorized to represent, and your Business must comply with applicable laws and must not offer, advertise, sell, or lease illegal products or services.
The Store Management Dashboard uses role-based access controls, including the “Super Admin,” “Store Manager,” and “Regular User” roles, each with different permissions. You are responsible for: (i) assigning roles appropriately; (ii) maintaining the confidentiality of all account credentials; (iii) all activity that occurs under your account or the accounts of users you invite or to whom you grant access; and (iv) promptly removing access for individuals who are no longer authorized. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to manage access appropriately.
You are solely responsible for all information, menus, pricing, hours, descriptions, logos, photographs, and other content you or your team submit through the Business Services (“Store Content”). You represent and warrant that your Store Content is accurate, current, and complete, that you own or have all necessary rights and licenses to the Store Content, and that the Store Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party. You grant the Company the license set out in the User Contributions section above with respect to your Store Content, including the right to display, distribute, and promote your Store Content across the Website and in advertising and marketing of the Website. You are responsible for keeping your Store Content accurate and up to date; the Company is under no obligation to verify or update it.
You agree that the Company may access and retrieve content and information about your Business from your website and other publicly available sources, and may reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display that content and information on the Website. You grant the Company a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to display your public website and its content on the Website, including through iframes or other framing technology.
You understand and acknowledge that Users may post Content about your Business, including photographs, ratings, and reviews, and that such Content reflects the views of the Users who post it and not the Company. You agree that you will not, and will not authorize or induce any other party to: (i) write, post, or vote on reviews or other Content for your own Business or a competitor’s Business; (ii) solicit or ask your customers for reviews; (iii) offer or provide any incentive, such as discounts, freebies, refunds, gift cards, or contest entries, in exchange for posting, modifying, refraining from posting, or removing a review; (iv) pay or induce anyone to post, modify, refrain from posting, or remove reviews; (v) submit any fake, fraudulent, or misleading review, or attempt to suppress, alter, or remove genuine reviews; or (vi) otherwise attempt to manipulate ratings, reviews, search results, or any ranking or recommendation system.
You understand and acknowledge that the Company may use automated software, algorithms, and other technologies to determine whether, where, and how venues, listings, ratings, and reviews are displayed or ranked, and that such systems may sometimes display, suppress, or fail to detect particular reviews. You understand and acknowledge that any purchase of advertising or other paid features from the Company does not and will not influence these ranking or recommendation systems, or otherwise allow or enable you, directly or indirectly, to alter reviews or affect whether, where, or how reviews or ratings appear on the Website. The Company retains sole discretion over the display, moderation, ranking, and removal of reviews and other Content and does not guarantee the display or removal of any particular review.
You understand and acknowledge that non-disparagement or “gag” clauses in consumer contracts that seek to restrict or penalize consumers for posting reviews are prohibited under the federal Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. § 45b) and similar state laws. You agree that you will not include such clauses in your consumer contracts and will not attempt to enforce any such clause against a consumer under any circumstances, whether or not it is barred under applicable law. You understand that the Company may publicly notify consumers about any attempt to use or enforce such a clause or to otherwise obtain, prevent, modify, or remove reviews through prohibited means.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Business Services and the operation of your venue comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements, including those governing the sale, service, advertising, and promotion of alcoholic beverages and the legal drinking age. You represent and warrant that you hold all licenses and permits required to operate your venue and to sell or serve any products listed in your Store Content. The Company does not sell, serve, or furnish alcohol and is not responsible for your compliance.
If you use the Business Services to communicate or administer a promotion of any kind, you are solely responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including compliance with all applicable laws and platform rules, and you do so at your own risk.
You agree that you will not attempt to generate automated, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid ad impressions, inquiries, conversions, ad clicks, or other actions, or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of any advertising or paid features offered through the Business Services.
You agree that we may contact you, including by telephone or email, using the contact information you provide, make publicly available, or that we have on record for your Business, and that our communications with you may be monitored and recorded for legal, training, and quality purposes.
The Business Services may provide analytics, reporting, and data export features. Any analytics, metrics, or other data provided through the Business Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for your internal business use only, may be estimated or incomplete, and should not be solely relied upon. You must handle any exported data in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy, and you must not use it to identify, contact, or market to individual Users except as permitted by law and these Terms of Use.
The Store Management Dashboard includes a two-step protected deletion process for stores and related data. You acknowledge that deletion is permanent and irreversible and that, once confirmed, deleted stores, content, and associated data cannot be recovered. You are responsible for exporting or retaining any data you wish to keep before deletion. The Company is not liable for any loss resulting from deletion initiated through your account.
[The Business Services are currently provided free of charge; however, we reserve the right to introduce fees or paid features upon notice. If fees apply, they will be governed by separate ordering terms or a subscription agreement incorporated into these Terms of Use, which will control in the event of any conflict with these Business Terms.]
In addition to our rights set out elsewhere in these Terms of Use, we may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Business Services, remove or unpublish your store profile or Store Content, and reassign or revoke roles, at any time and in our sole discretion, including if we believe you have violated these Terms of Use or applicable law, or if your Store Content is inaccurate, misleading, or creates risk for the Company or its Users.
Listing a venue or store on the Website, or making it available through the Business Services, does not constitute an endorsement, certification, or recommendation by the Company of the venue or its products.
In addition to the indemnification obligations set out below, you and the Business agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your Store Content, your use of the Business Services, your management of team access, your products or services or the marketing or provision thereof, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and service providers, and the officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns of each of them, from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to: (i) your access to or use of the Website, including Your Content; (ii) your violation of these Terms of Use; (iii) your breach of any representation or warranty in these Terms of Use; (iv) any products or services you purchase or obtain in connection with the Website; (v) your products or services, or the marketing or provision thereof; or (vi) the infringement by you, or any third party using your Account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any such matter without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim upon becoming aware of it.
You understand that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading from the internet or the Website will be free of viruses or other destructive code. You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for anti-virus protection and accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to our site for any reconstruction of any lost data. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY A DISTRIBUTED DENIAL-OF-SERVICE ATTACK, VIRUSES, OR OTHER TECHNOLOGICALLY HARMFUL MATERIAL THAT MAY INFECT YOUR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, COMPUTER PROGRAMS, DATA, OR OTHER PROPRIETARY MATERIAL DUE TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR TO YOUR DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIAL POSTED ON IT, OR ON ANY WEBSITE LINKED TO IT.
YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, AND ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The waivers and limitations in this section will survive and apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. The foregoing does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. You acknowledge that the Company is an interactive computer service provider and that, under Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230) and similar laws, the Company is not the publisher or speaker of, and is not liable for, Content provided by Users or other third parties. You further acknowledge that anti-SLAPP laws may require a party that improperly seeks to impose liability on the Company for the exercise of free-speech or petition rights to pay the Company’s attorneys’ fees and costs.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND THE COMPANY TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, you and the Company agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send a written notice describing the claim and the relief sought to the other party (to the Company at [email protected]). You and the Company will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for sixty (60) days after notice is received. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may commence arbitration.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your access to or use of the Website, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, except as expressly provided below. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and applies to claims that arose before, on, or after the date you accepted these Terms of Use, and survives termination of these Terms of Use.
Arbitration Rules and Forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for disputes arising from a Business Account, its Commercial Arbitration Rules) in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, as modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat and location of the arbitration will be Orlando, Orange County, Florida, although the parties may agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, video, or written submissions, and any in-person hearing will be held in Orlando, Florida unless the parties agree otherwise. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable, and to determine whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator may award, on an individual basis, any relief that a court could award under applicable law, subject to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation on Liability sections above. The arbitrator’s award will be in writing and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action and Collective Relief Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. IF THIS CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM, THAT CLAIM, AND ONLY THAT CLAIM, WILL BE SEVERED AND BROUGHT IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.
Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE THAT, FOR ANY REASON, PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may: (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court; and (ii) bring an action in court to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights or to address unauthorized access to, or misuse of, the Website. Such claims are not subject to the agreement to arbitrate, but remain subject to the class-action and jury-trial waivers above to the extent permitted by law.
Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms of Use. Your notice must include your name and the email address associated with your Account. If you opt out, neither you nor the Company will be required to arbitrate, and the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section below will govern. Opting out of arbitration has no effect on any other provision of these Terms of Use.
Changes to This Section. If the Company makes any material change to this section after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use, you may reject the change by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the change, in which case the most recent version of this section before the change will apply.
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration as set out above, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website will be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the City of Orlando and County of Orange, Florida, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country or state of residence or any other relevant jurisdiction. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
You may terminate these Terms of Use at any time by closing your Account and discontinuing all access to and use of the Website. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, we may close your Account, suspend your ability to use all or part of the Website, terminate any license or permission granted to you, and ban you from the Website, for any or no reason and without notice or liability. Any such action could prevent you from accessing your Account, the Website, Your Content, or other Service Content. Provisions of these Terms of Use that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including the Definitions, Intellectual Property Rights, User Contributions, Feedback and Suggestions, Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation on Liability, Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, Limitation on Time to File Claims, and General Terms sections, as well as the Additional Terms for Business Owners and Store Operators.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Website at our sole discretion, at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or liability.
These Terms of Use do not, and are not intended to, confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and the Company, except that the Company’s affiliates, licensors, service providers, and the other parties identified in the Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation on Liability sections are intended third-party beneficiaries of those sections.
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use is deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in a writing signed by the Company.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision is eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use continue in full force and effect.
These Terms of Use, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you in violation of this provision is void.
No joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship exists between you and the Company as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website. The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Viz Answers, Inc. d/b/a Universal Drinkers regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
This website is operated by Viz Answers, Inc. d/b/a Universal Drinkers.

These additional terms (the “Business Terms”) apply to your access to and use of the Store Management dashboard and related administrative tools made available at drinkslooker.com/business/store-management.html (the “Business Services”), through which business owners, store operators, and their authorized team members can create and manage store profiles, drinks menus, team access, customer reviews, analytics, and related data. The Business Terms supplement, and are in addition to, the foregoing Terms of Use. If there is any conflict between these Business Terms and the general Terms of Use with respect to your use of the Business Services, these Business Terms control. By accessing or using the Business Services, you agree to these Business Terms.
If you access or use the Business Services on behalf of a Business, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to act on behalf of, and to bind, that Business to these Terms of Use, and references to “you” in these Business Terms refer to both you individually and the Business. Your access to or use of the Business Services will be only in your capacity as an authorized representative of your Business. You are responsible for ensuring that the Business and all of its personnel comply with these Terms of Use. You will not use the consumer-facing Website for business-related activities, such as flagging reviews of, or messaging Users who have reviewed, your Business.
The Business Services are intended solely for legitimate businesses and their authorized representatives who are at least 21 years of age. You may create or claim a store profile only for a venue you own, operate, or are authorized to represent, and your Business must comply with applicable laws and must not offer, advertise, sell, or lease illegal products or services.
The Store Management Dashboard uses role-based access controls, including the “Super Admin,” “Store Manager,” and “Regular User” roles, each with different permissions. You are responsible for: (i) assigning roles appropriately; (ii) maintaining the confidentiality of all account credentials; (iii) all activity that occurs under your account or the accounts of users you invite or to whom you grant access; and (iv) promptly removing access for individuals who are no longer authorized. We are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to manage access appropriately.
You are solely responsible for all information, menus, pricing, hours, descriptions, logos, photographs, and other content you or your team submit through the Business Services (“Store Content”). You represent and warrant that your Store Content is accurate, current, and complete, that you own or have all necessary rights and licenses to the Store Content, and that the Store Content does not infringe or violate the rights of any third party. You grant the Company the license set out in the User Contributions section above with respect to your Store Content, including the right to display, distribute, and promote your Store Content across the Website and in advertising and marketing of the Website. You are responsible for keeping your Store Content accurate and up to date; the Company is under no obligation to verify or update it.
You agree that the Company may access and retrieve content and information about your Business from your website and other publicly available sources, and may reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display that content and information on the Website. You grant the Company a non-transferable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to display your public website and its content on the Website, including through iframes or other framing technology.
You understand and acknowledge that Users may post Content about your Business, including photographs, ratings, and reviews, and that such Content reflects the views of the Users who post it and not the Company. You agree that you will not, and will not authorize or induce any other party to: (i) write, post, or vote on reviews or other Content for your own Business or a competitor’s Business; (ii) solicit or ask your customers for reviews; (iii) offer or provide any incentive, such as discounts, freebies, refunds, gift cards, or contest entries, in exchange for posting, modifying, refraining from posting, or removing a review; (iv) pay or induce anyone to post, modify, refrain from posting, or remove reviews; (v) submit any fake, fraudulent, or misleading review, or attempt to suppress, alter, or remove genuine reviews; or (vi) otherwise attempt to manipulate ratings, reviews, search results, or any ranking or recommendation system.
You understand and acknowledge that the Company may use automated software, algorithms, and other technologies to determine whether, where, and how venues, listings, ratings, and reviews are displayed or ranked, and that such systems may sometimes display, suppress, or fail to detect particular reviews. You understand and acknowledge that any purchase of advertising or other paid features from the Company does not and will not influence these ranking or recommendation systems, or otherwise allow or enable you, directly or indirectly, to alter reviews or affect whether, where, or how reviews or ratings appear on the Website. The Company retains sole discretion over the display, moderation, ranking, and removal of reviews and other Content and does not guarantee the display or removal of any particular review.
You understand and acknowledge that non-disparagement or “gag” clauses in consumer contracts that seek to restrict or penalize consumers for posting reviews are prohibited under the federal Consumer Review Fairness Act (15 U.S.C. § 45b) and similar state laws. You agree that you will not include such clauses in your consumer contracts and will not attempt to enforce any such clause against a consumer under any circumstances, whether or not it is barred under applicable law. You understand that the Company may publicly notify consumers about any attempt to use or enforce such a clause or to otherwise obtain, prevent, modify, or remove reviews through prohibited means.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Business Services and the operation of your venue comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and licensing requirements, including those governing the sale, service, advertising, and promotion of alcoholic beverages and the legal drinking age. You represent and warrant that you hold all licenses and permits required to operate your venue and to sell or serve any products listed in your Store Content. The Company does not sell, serve, or furnish alcohol and is not responsible for your compliance.
If you use the Business Services to communicate or administer a promotion of any kind, you are solely responsible for the lawful operation of that promotion, including compliance with all applicable laws and platform rules, and you do so at your own risk.
You agree that you will not attempt to generate automated, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid ad impressions, inquiries, conversions, ad clicks, or other actions, or otherwise interfere with the proper operation of any advertising or paid features offered through the Business Services.
You agree that we may contact you, including by telephone or email, using the contact information you provide, make publicly available, or that we have on record for your Business, and that our communications with you may be monitored and recorded for legal, training, and quality purposes.
The Business Services may provide analytics, reporting, and data export features. Any analytics, metrics, or other data provided through the Business Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis for your internal business use only, may be estimated or incomplete, and should not be solely relied upon. You must handle any exported data in accordance with applicable law and our Privacy Policy, and you must not use it to identify, contact, or market to individual Users except as permitted by law and these Terms of Use.
The Store Management Dashboard includes a two-step protected deletion process for stores and related data. You acknowledge that deletion is permanent and irreversible and that, once confirmed, deleted stores, content, and associated data cannot be recovered. You are responsible for exporting or retaining any data you wish to keep before deletion. The Company is not liable for any loss resulting from deletion initiated through your account.
[The Business Services are currently provided free of charge; however, we reserve the right to introduce fees or paid features upon notice. If fees apply, they will be governed by separate ordering terms or a subscription agreement incorporated into these Terms of Use, which will control in the event of any conflict with these Business Terms.]
In addition to our rights set out elsewhere in these Terms of Use, we may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Business Services, remove or unpublish your store profile or Store Content, and reassign or revoke roles, at any time and in our sole discretion, including if we believe you have violated these Terms of Use or applicable law, or if your Store Content is inaccurate, misleading, or creates risk for the Company or its Users.
Listing a venue or store on the Website, or making it available through the Business Services, does not constitute an endorsement, certification, or recommendation by the Company of the venue or its products.
In addition to the indemnification obligations set out below, you and the Business agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your Store Content, your use of the Business Services, your management of team access, your products or services or the marketing or provision thereof, or your violation of any law or the rights of any third party.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and service providers, and the officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns of each of them, from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to: (i) your access to or use of the Website, including Your Content; (ii) your violation of these Terms of Use; (iii) your breach of any representation or warranty in these Terms of Use; (iv) any products or services you purchase or obtain in connection with the Website; (v) your products or services, or the marketing or provision thereof; or (vi) the infringement by you, or any third party using your Account, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any such matter without our prior written consent. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim upon becoming aware of it.
You understand that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading from the internet or the Website will be free of viruses or other destructive code. You are responsible for implementing sufficient procedures and checkpoints to satisfy your particular requirements for anti-virus protection and accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to our site for any reconstruction of any lost data.

NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, THE COMPANY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE WEBSITE, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR RELIANCE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, REPUTATIONAL HARM, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, AND LOSS OF DATA OR INFORMATION, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

The waivers and limitations in this section will survive and apply regardless of the form of action, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise. The foregoing does not affect any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. You acknowledge that the Company is an interactive computer service provider and that, under Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230) and similar laws, the Company is not the publisher or speaker of, and is not liable for, Content provided by Users or other third parties.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU AND THE COMPANY TO RESOLVE MOST DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND IT WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
Informal Resolution First. Before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, you and the Company agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. The party raising the dispute must send a written notice describing the claim and the relief sought to the other party (to the Company at [email protected]). You and the Company will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute for sixty (60) days after notice is received. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may commence arbitration.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your access to or use of the Website, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, except as expressly provided below. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and applies to claims that arose before, on, or after the date you accepted these Terms of Use, and survives termination of these Terms of Use.
Arbitration Rules and Forum. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for disputes arising from a Business Account, its Commercial Arbitration Rules) in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, as modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The seat and location of the arbitration will be Orlando, Orange County, Florida, although the parties may agree to conduct the arbitration by telephone, video, or written submissions, and any in-person hearing will be held in Orlando, Florida unless the parties agree otherwise. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this agreement to arbitrate, including any claim that all or any part of it is void or voidable, and to determine whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator may award, on an individual basis, any relief that a court could award under applicable law, subject to the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation on Liability sections above. The arbitrator’s award will be in writing and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action and Collective Relief Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON. IF THIS CLASS-ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE AS TO A PARTICULAR CLAIM, THAT CLAIM, AND ONLY THAT CLAIM, WILL BE SEVERED AND BROUGHT IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.
Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE THAT, FOR ANY REASON, PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may: (i) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies and remains in that court; and (ii) bring an action in court to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect intellectual property rights or to address unauthorized access to, or misuse of, the Website. Such claims are not subject to the agreement to arbitrate, but remain subject to the class-action and jury-trial waivers above to the extent permitted by law.
Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms of Use. Your notice must include your name and the email address associated with your Account. If you opt out, neither you nor the Company will be required to arbitrate, and the Governing Law and Jurisdiction section below will govern. Opting out of arbitration has no effect on any other provision of these Terms of Use.
Changes to This Section. If the Company makes any material change to this section after the date you first accepted these Terms of Use, you may reject the change by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the change, in which case the most recent version of this section before the change will apply.
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration as set out above, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Website will be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the City of Orlando and County of Orange, Florida, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action, or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country or state of residence or any other relevant jurisdiction. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.
You may terminate these Terms of Use at any time by closing your Account and discontinuing all access to and use of the Website. Unless otherwise prohibited by law, we may close your Account, suspend your ability to use all or part of the Website, terminate any license or permission granted to you, and ban you from the Website, for any or no reason and without notice or liability. Any such action could prevent you from accessing your Account, the Website, Your Content, or other Service Content. Provisions of these Terms of Use that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including the Definitions, Intellectual Property Rights, User Contributions, Feedback and Suggestions, Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation on Liability, Dispute Resolution, Governing Law, Limitation on Time to File Claims, and General Terms sections, as well as the Additional Terms for Business Owners and Store Operators.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or discontinue the Website at our sole discretion, at any time, for any or no reason, and without notice or liability.
These Terms of Use do not, and are not intended to, confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than you and the Company, except that the Company’s affiliates, licensors, service providers, and the other parties identified in the Indemnification, Disclaimer of Warranties, and Limitation on Liability sections are intended third-party beneficiaries of those sections.
No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set out in these Terms of Use is deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in a writing signed by the Company.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision is eliminated or limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use continue in full force and effect.
These Terms of Use, and any rights or obligations hereunder, are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with our prior written consent, but may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction. Any attempted assignment by you in violation of this provision is void.
No joint venture, partnership, employment, agency, or fiduciary relationship exists between you and the Company as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website. The section titles in these Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
These Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and Viz Answers, Inc. d/b/a Universal Drinkers regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.
This website is operated by Viz Answers, Inc. d/b/a Universal Drinkers.
