Terms of Service

Welcome to Sipply. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Sipply (“Sipply,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your use of the Sipply mobile app, our website at sipplyapp.com, and related services (together, the “Services”).

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Eligibility

Sipply relates to venues that serve alcohol. You must be of legal drinking age in your location (21 years or older in the United States) and able to form a binding contract to use the Services. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account.

2. The Services

Sipply helps members discover participating venues (“SippSpots”), check in, and unlock food and drink discounts, and earn rewards. Deals, venues, features, and availability may change at any time. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services.

3. Accounts

You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@sipplyapp.com of any unauthorized use.

4. Memberships & subscriptions

Sipply offers a free tier (PourPass Light) and paid memberships (PourPass and PourPass+). Paid memberships are sold as auto-renewing subscriptions:

• Payment is charged to your app store account (e.g., your Apple ID) at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your app store account settings after purchase.
• Introductory or promotional pricing applies only as described at the time of purchase and for the stated period, after which standard pricing applies.
• Except where required by law or app store policy, payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partial periods.

Prices and plan features may change; we will provide notice where required, and changes will not affect the period you have already paid for.

5. Deals & participating venues

SippSpots are independent businesses that set their own offers. Offers are subject to change by participating businesses and may have conditions, blackout periods, or availability limits. Sipply does not sell alcohol, does not control venues, and does not guarantee that any specific deal, venue, or item will be available. Your interactions with a venue — including the food, drinks, and service you receive — are solely between you and that venue.

6. “Cheers,” reviews & your content

You may submit ratings and reviews (“cheers”) and other content. To keep reviews honest, you may only leave a “cheers” after a verified check-in. You agree that your content is accurate, is your own, and does not violate the rights of others or any law. You may not submit fake, paid, incentivized, or misleading reviews.

You retain ownership of your content. By submitting it, you grant Sipply a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the Services. We may remove content that violates these Terms.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
• Falsify check-ins, deals, reviews, or your identity, or attempt to obtain deals you are not entitled to.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or related systems.
• Scrape, reverse engineer, or misuse the Services or their content.
• Harass, abuse, or harm other users, venues, or staff.

8. Responsible consumption

Please drink responsibly and never drink and drive. You are responsible for your own conduct and consumption. Sipply does not encourage excessive or irresponsible drinking, and the availability of a deal is not an inducement to over-consume.

9. Intellectual property

The Services, including the Sipply name, logo, and all related content and software (other than your content), are owned by Sipply or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services for their intended purpose. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

10. Third-party services

The Services may rely on or link to third-party services and content that we do not control. We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

11. Disclaimers

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any deal or venue information is accurate or current.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sipply and its officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Services. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD $50.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sipply from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Services, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or to protect the Services or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

15. Apple App Store & other app stores

If you download the app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

• These Terms are between you and Sipply only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
• Your license to use the app is limited to use on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
• Sipply, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and for providing any maintenance and support.
• To the extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the app; if the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any).
• Sipply, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, and consumer protection claims.
• Sipply, not Apple, is responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

16. Governing law & disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in New York will have jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to app store terms, except where prohibited by applicable law.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
