Terms of Service

Effective October 27, 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and Geerho Tech LLC (“Geerho”, “we”, “us”), a California limited liability company, about iOtomates Resto: the iOtomates Resto website, the iPhone and Android apps, and the online ordering pages and kitchen screens they provide (the “Services”). By using the Services you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. Part A applies to everyone, Part B to customers who order food, and Part C to restaurants that use iOtomates Resto.

Part A · Everyone

1. What iOtomates Resto is

iOtomates Resto is software that lets restaurants take online orders for pickup, show them on a kitchen screen, and keep their menu up to date. Each restaurant uses iOtomates Resto under its own name. Geerho is not a restaurant: we don't prepare, sell or deliver food, and we are not a party to the sale between you and a restaurant.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You can order as a guest. To sign in (with Apple or Google) you must be at least 13 years old; to run a restaurant account you must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract for the business. Keep your sign-in secure; you're responsible for what happens under your account. You can delete your account at any time: in the apps under Settings → Delete account, or on the website under My orders → Delete my account.

3. Acceptable use

Don't use the Services to break the law, to place fake or fraudulent orders, to pay with a card you're not allowed to use, to harass restaurant staff or customers, to interfere with or overload the Services, to scrape them, or to get around security or access limits. We may suspend or end access for anyone who does.

Part B · Customers

4. The restaurant is the seller

When you order, you buy from the restaurant named on the menu. The restaurant sets its menu, prices, hours and pickup times, prepares your food, and is responsible for it. Questions about an order go to the restaurant first (its address and phone number are on the menu and on your order page).

5. Prices, tax, tips and payment

Prices are set by the restaurant in U.S. dollars. Sales tax is worked out from the restaurant's tax rate and the items it marks as taxable; the exact amount is shown before you pay. Tips go to the restaurant for its staff; iOtomates Resto takes nothing from your order or your tip. You pay the restaurant directly through Stripe on the restaurant's own Stripe account, and the restaurant's name appears on your card statement. Geerho never sees your full card number. An order that isn't paid within about 30 minutes expires and isn't made.

6. Pickup, cancellations and refunds

Pickup times are estimates. Bring your order number (shown on your order page). Once paid, an order can only be cancelled by the restaurant; ask the restaurant if you need to cancel. If the restaurant cancels a paid order (for example because something sold out), the payment is refunded in full to your card through Stripe; banks usually show it within 5–10 business days. Other refunds and complaints about food are decided by the restaurant under its own policies and the law.

7. Allergens and food safety

Allergen tags and descriptions are provided by the restaurant. Kitchens handle common allergens (such as soy, wheat, sesame, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, peanuts and tree nuts), and cross-contact can happen. If you have a food allergy, call the restaurant before ordering. Geerho doesn't check menus, ingredients or kitchens.

Part C · Restaurants

8. Restaurant accounts and staff

The person who starts a restaurant on iOtomates Resto becomes its owner and confirms they're authorized to act for the business. Owners can add owners, managers, cashiers and cooks; the restaurant is responsible for what its staff do in iOtomates Resto and for removing people who should no longer have access. A restaurant must always have at least one owner. Demo restaurants are for trying iOtomates Resto with test payments only and may be removed at any time.

9. The monthly subscription

iOtomates Resto is one subscription per owner covering all their locations (each fixed restaurant or food truck is a location): $49.99 a month for 1 location, $79.99 for 2, $99.99 for 3, and $29.99 for each location after that, plus any sales tax that applies, with no commission on orders or tips. The subscription renews automatically every month and is charged in advance to the card you give Stripe when you start it, until you cancel. You can cancel online at any time in Restaurant setup → Payments → Manage or cancel subscription; online ordering then stays on until the end of the month you've paid for, and you won't be charged again. We don't give refunds for part of a month, except where the law requires. If a payment fails, online ordering pauses until the card is updated. We'll tell you at least 30 days ahead, by email, before changing the price, and you can cancel before it applies. Stripe's own card fees on your customers' payments are between you and Stripe.

10. The restaurant's responsibilities

The restaurant is the seller of everything it sells through iOtomates Resto and is responsible for: its food and its safety; its health permit and other licenses; its menu, prices, descriptions, photos and allergen information being accurate; honoring the orders it accepts; refunds and customer service; collecting and paying all sales tax (including setting the right tax rate and marking which items are taxable, with its tax adviser); its seller's permit; its employees and tips; and following the laws that apply to it, including privacy laws for the customer information it receives through orders. iOtomates Resto provides tools, not legal or tax advice.

11. Stripe

Customer payments go into the restaurant's own Stripe account, which the restaurant opens with Stripe and controls. By connecting Stripe, the restaurant agrees to Stripe's terms (including the Stripe Connected Account Agreement). Payouts, chargebacks, disputes and Stripe's fees are between the restaurant and Stripe. Geerho can see the restaurant's Stripe connection status and payment amounts to run the Services, and uses its own Stripe account only to bill the iOtomates Resto subscription.

12. Restaurant content

The restaurant keeps ownership of its name, logo, menu, photos and other content, and gives Geerho a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, display and adapt them as needed to run and show the Services (for example on the restaurant's menu page and in the apps) while the restaurant uses iOtomates Resto. The restaurant confirms it has the rights to the content it uploads, including photos.

Part D · General terms

13. Our intellectual property

iOtomates Resto™, the iOtomates Resto software, and the Services' design belong to Geerho Tech LLC. You may use the Services as these Terms allow; you may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell them.

14. Apple App Store terms

If you downloaded the app from Apple's App Store, you acknowledge that: these Terms are between you and Geerho only, not Apple; Geerho, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content, maintenance and support; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation for the app, and if the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty you may notify Apple, which may refund the purchase price (if any); Geerho, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection and intellectual property claims; you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties; you must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

15. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that menus, prices, allergen information or pickup times provided by restaurants are accurate.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Geerho and its members, managers, employees and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, for lost profits, sales, data or goodwill, or for food, service or anything else provided by a restaurant, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Services is limited to the greater of US $100 or the amount you paid Geerho in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory consumer protection laws.

17. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Geerho and its members, managers, employees and agents from claims, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Services or your violation of these Terms or the law, and, for restaurants, from the restaurant's food, products, content, sales, taxes and dealings with its customers and staff.

18. Ending your use

You can stop using the Services and delete your account at any time (see section 2); restaurants also cancel their subscription (section 9). We may suspend or end access for a violation of these Terms, for unpaid subscriptions, or to protect customers, restaurants or the Services, and we'll tell you why unless the law or safety prevents it. Sections 4–7, 10–12 and 13–21 survive.

19. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and Geerho consent to their jurisdiction; you may also use small claims court where you qualify. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally.

Notice to California residents. Under California Civil Code § 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

20. Changes

We may update these Terms as iOtomates Resto grows. We'll post the new version here with its effective date and, for important changes, tell you in the app or by email before they take effect. Using the Services after that means you accept the new Terms.

21. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and Geerho about the Services. If a part is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a part isn't a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent; we may transfer them with the Services. Neither side is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
