Terms
Terms of service.
Effective May 16, 2026
These terms govern your use of Veto — the website at theveto.app and the Veto iOS app. By signing up for the beta, downloading the app, or using either, you agree to what's below. If you don't agree, don't use Veto.
1. The service
Veto is a group dining decision app. You and your group tell it what you don't want; it shows you what's left. The website (theveto.app) is the marketing presence and beta signup. The iOS app is the actual product. Both are operated by the team behind Veto.
2. It's a beta
Veto is currently in a TestFlight beta. That means features will change, occasionally break, and sometimes disappear. We don't promise uptime, data retention, or feature stability during the beta. We do promise to communicate clearly when material things change. If beta behaviour isn't acceptable to you, wait for the public release.
3. Your account
You'll need an account to use the app's group features. You're responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials safe. If you suspect someone else has access to your account, email hello@theveto.app and we'll lock it. You can delete your account at any time — see the privacy policy for how.
4. Acceptable use
Don't:
- Use Veto for anything illegal.
- Try to break it, probe it, or reverse-engineer it with malicious intent.
- Spam other users, harass them, or impersonate them.
- Scrape restaurant data or our API for resale or to build competing products.
- Use Veto in a way that violates Apple's App Store Review Guidelines or Google's Play Store policies.
Security researchers acting in good faith are welcome — email first so we know it's you.
5. Third-party content
Restaurant listings, hours, photos, and ratings come from Google's Places API. We don't own or control that data. It can be wrong, stale, or incomplete. Don't rely on Veto's restaurant data for anything critical (allergens, hours, accessibility) — call the restaurant directly to confirm.
6. Your content
The choices you make in Veto — the restaurants you veto, the ones you save, the sessions you join — are yours. We won't show them to other users (vetoes are private by design), we won't sell them, and we won't train models on them without your explicit opt-in. You can export or delete your data at any time.
7. Intellectual property
The Veto name, logo, app design, and code are ours. You're granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app while you're a user in good standing. That licence ends if you stop using Veto or if we terminate your account under section 8.
8. Termination
You can stop using Veto at any time and delete your account whenever you want. We can suspend or terminate an account that violates these terms, abuses other users, or creates risk for the service. We'll try to give you notice and a chance to fix the issue, except in cases of serious abuse or legal urgency.
9. Disclaimers
Veto is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any restaurant Veto recommends will be open, good, or to your taste. You eat at your own risk.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Veto and its team won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service. Total liability for any claim related to Veto is capped at the greater of (a) $100 USD or (b) the amount you've paid us in the twelve months before the claim — which, during the free beta, is $0.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If we do, we'll update the effective date at the top and — for material changes — email beta participants and post a notice in the app. Continued use after the new date means you accept the changes. If you don't, stop using Veto.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Veto's legal entity is incorporated. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction. (This section will be updated when the entity is formed — currently a placeholder.)
