The Specials Menu
Terms of Use
Last updated
These terms govern your use of The Specials Menu (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the service. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.
About the service
The Specials Menu is an independent directory of restaurant specials and happy hours. We collect information from public sources and accept updates from restaurants and users. We do not sell meals or drinks, take reservations, or act as the restaurant in your transaction. A listing does not imply a partnership or endorsement.
Check with the restaurant
Specials, prices, hours, and availability can change without notice. Information collected automatically, including with AI-assisted extraction, can be incomplete or incorrect. Check directly with the restaurant before relying on an offer, including its dates, times, exclusions, taxes, and availability.
“Unverified” means the restaurant has not confirmed its listing. “Managed by venue” means the venue manages the listing; it is not a guarantee that every offer is available. A source-check date records when information was captured, not a promise that it is still current.
Restaurants are responsible for the food, drinks, service, and offers they provide. Ask the restaurant about allergens and dietary needs. Alcohol offers are subject to local laws, legal drinking age, and the venue’s conditions.
Accounts and acceptable use
Provide accurate account information, protect your sign-in credentials, and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access. You must have the legal capacity to agree to these terms, or use the service with the involvement and authorization of a parent or legal guardian where permitted by law.
Do not impersonate a restaurant or another person, submit misleading claims or reports, upload unlawful content, infringe other people’s rights, bypass access controls or rate limits, or disrupt the service. We may restrict accounts or remove contributions to address abuse, security issues, or violations of these terms.
Restaurant claims and submitted content
Only claim or manage a business you are authorized to represent. We may ask for evidence, decline a claim, or revoke access if that authority cannot be established or changes. You are responsible for keeping your published listing and offers accurate and lawful.
You retain ownership of content you submit. For listing details, specials, and photos you choose to publish, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, resize or format, and publicly display that content as needed to operate and present the service, including through our hosting providers. You confirm that you have the necessary rights and permissions to grant this licence.
This permission does not make private claim evidence or contact messages public. We handle those materials as described in our Privacy Policy. You can remove supported content through the restaurant portal or contact us for help. Removed material may remain temporarily in backups or in copies outside our control.
Content rights and corrections
The site’s design, branding, and original material belong to The Specials Menu or its licensors. Restaurant names, trademarks, photos, and source material remain subject to their respective owners’ rights. Access to a listing does not give you permission to reuse protected material beyond what the law or the rights holder allows.
For an inaccurate listing, unauthorized claim, or content-rights concern, email info@thespecialsmenu.com or use our contact form. Identify the listing or material, explain the issue and your connection to it, and include a way to reach you. We will review the request and may correct, restrict, or remove material as appropriate.
Google Maps and external services
The service uses Google Maps Platform, including Google Places, for restaurant information. Use of Google Maps content and services through this site is also subject to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and Google Terms of Service, which are incorporated into these terms by reference. Google’s handling of information is described in its Privacy Policy.
Restaurant websites, source pages, and directions links are operated by others. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them. We do not control their content, availability, or practices.
Availability and responsibility
We aim to keep the service useful and accurate, but provide it on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, completeness, or the accuracy or availability of any restaurant offer.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the service, including reliance on an inaccurate listing. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limits any mandatory consumer or privacy rights you have.
Ending use and changes
You can stop using the service at any time. To request account deletion, contact us as explained in the Privacy Policy. We may change or discontinue features or restrict access when reasonably needed to operate the service, comply with law, or address misuse.
We will post revised terms here with an updated date and provide additional notice of material changes where appropriate or required by law. Changes apply going forward; they do not remove rights you already have under applicable law.
Governing law
The Specials Menu operates from British Columbia, Canada. These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. This choice of law does not limit any mandatory consumer or privacy protections that apply to you.
