Terms of Service

Last updated October 18, 2026.

These Terms govern use of guacoholic.club and Guacoholic services. By using the service or creating an account, you agree to them. This is a working agreement and not legal advice; qualified counsel should review it.

1. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 13 and legally able to agree to these Terms. Keep your account secure, provide accurate information and do not transfer access. Business users confirm they can act for the business they represent.

2. Memberships and billing

Free signed-in members may rate restaurants, vote on store ripeness, add photos to existing listings and report closures, subject to the applicable limits. Paid membership is required to submit new spots, redeem partner offers and use other features marked Pro or Lifetime.

Pro's base price is US$9.99 monthly or US$99.99 annually and renews until canceled. Country pricing, available checkout currencies and promotions may change the amount charged. The amount and currency shown at checkout control your purchase. Access continues through the paid period after cancellation.

Lifetime membership is a one-time purchase, not a recurring subscription. Each country has its own tier counter: base US$249.99 for its first 100 paid lifetime memberships, US$499.99 for the next 1,000, US$749.99 for the next 10,000, then US$999.99 without a quantity limit. Country adjustments may reduce the price. Unknown country codes use the US counter. The current tier and final checkout price control eligibility.

Country adjustments use an IP-derived country and a purchasing-power table. Detected VPN or proxy connections do not qualify for those discounts, but are not generally blocked from using the app. Detection can be unavailable or imperfect. Stripe billing-country checks may remove a mismatched subscription discount for future billing or refund a mismatched lifetime purchase; refunded purchases do not retain lifetime access. Provide accurate billing information.

Promotional codes have plan-specific terms and eligibility checks, including once-per-account redemption where stated. A promotion may replace rather than combine with a country discount. Free promotional periods may convert to paid renewals at the terms shown in checkout; cancel before renewal if you do not wish to be billed.

Stripe processes payments. Taxes may apply. Failed, reversed or disputed payments may suspend paid access. Except where law requires otherwise or a checkout policy states otherwise, partial billing periods and used membership benefits are not refundable.

3. Restaurant partner offers

Active Pro and lifetime members may use offers published by approved restaurant partners. Each restaurant sets its offer, terms, expiration and member limit: unlimited, a chosen number from 1 to 999 per calendar month, or once ever. Conditions such as one per entree apply when stated in that restaurant's offer.

Open the offer at the restaurant. Restaurant staff must enter the restaurant's shared PIN and click Mark used.

A successful redemption is final for that offer period. Offers have no cash value, cannot be transferred and cannot be combined unless the restaurant says otherwise.

Restaurants control availability and may pause or change future offers. Guacoholic does not promise a specific offer, discount, item or restaurant will remain available.

Members and restaurant staff may not share PINs publicly, falsify redemptions, bypass limits or use offers outside their stated terms.

4. Ratings and fair use

Any signed-in member, including a free member, may rate restaurants from 1 to 5 avocados. A member may rate as many restaurants as they like, but only once per restaurant per UTC calendar month. Ratings cannot be edited after submission. Store ripeness uses a separate ripe/not-ripe vote that the member can change; it is not a restaurant score. Attempts to create duplicate accounts, manipulate scores or evade limits may lead to content removal or account suspension.

City guides prioritize rated partner or featured listings, then member scores and rating counts. Editorial Buzz tags identify sourced outside coverage, which may be older or mixed in opinion; they are not a live popularity measure, guarantee, paid endorsement or extra member rating. Outside coverage does not change member scores.

Ratings and notes express members' opinions, not Guacoholic's. Paid members may see a contributor's account ID with the contribution; contributor email addresses are not displayed there.

5. Adding spots and other contributions

Paid members may submit a restaurant or store while physically within 250 feet of the submitted address, subject to authorized administrator and moderator exceptions. You authorize a one-time device-location check for that purpose. The map pin is based on coordinates found from the address, not your device location. Duplicate, inaccurate, misleading or unverifiable listings may be rejected or removed.

Any signed-in member may add photos to existing listings, when rating or later, with up to four photos per upload and the latest 24 retained on a listing. Attach only photos you uploaded yourself. Other publishing and partner-lead features follow their displayed eligibility requirements. You retain ownership of your contributions while granting Guacoholic a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, format, moderate, display and promote them in connection with the service. Submit only content you have permission to use.

6. Community rules

Keep contributions relevant, honest and respectful; do not harass, impersonate, spam or post illegal, hateful, deceptive or infringing content.

Do not include sensitive personal data in public or member-visible content.

Guacoholic may moderate or remove content and suspend accounts to protect members, partners and the integrity of the service.

Signed-in members may report temporary or permanent closures, up to five reports per day. A report immediately hides the listing pending review; it is not a verified closure announcement. Authorized reviewers may confirm a closure or restore an open business, and confirmed-closed listings can be reopened.

After four reports judged false since the last reporting restriction was lifted, closure-reporting permission is revoked until an administrator restores it. This does not cancel or pause membership, ratings, photos or other unrelated access. Reopening a genuinely closed business does not count as a false report. Contact info@guacoholic.club to request review.

7. Partner relationships and portal

Approved restaurants may manage an offer through the partner portal and share one staff PIN internally. The restaurant is responsible for its offer, staff access, food, service, taxes and compliance with law. Guacoholic may pause partner access for security, abuse, inaccurate information or failure to honor valid offers.

Only authorized representatives may claim a listing. Email-code verification may create an account and sign you into the owner dashboard, but your claim remains under review until an administrator approves it. Verification is not proof of business ownership. Owner details and partnership controls are assigned only after the required approval. Impersonation or unauthorized claims may be rejected and access restricted.

AI-generated partnership proposals are drafts, not binding offers or legal advice. Check every statement, price and commitment before sharing or accepting one.

8. Referrals and payouts

Eligible lifetime members may receive 50% and eligible active Pro members 25% of qualifying referred-membership payments during the referred member's first 12 months. Free members earn no referral fee. Attribution depends on the tracked referral code and completed eligible payment.

Referral earnings require rating at least five spots or submitting at least two new spots, as well as eligible paid membership. The earning window is the first 12 months from the tracked referral. Commission depends on eligible paid charges, your qualifying tier when earnings are calculated, and adjustments for refunds or disputes. Self-referrals and fabricated activity do not qualify. Special ambassador goals or free-year offers use the individual terms shown to that participant.

A shared referral QR or digital membership card identifies a referral link, not a payment credential or guarantee of earnings. The card is available to paid members for sharing or download; native Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes are not currently offered.

Payouts require a completed Stripe Connect account and may be reduced or reversed for refunds, chargebacks, fraud, taxes, processor fees where disclosed, or ineligible transactions. Members are responsible for tax reporting. Guacoholic may pause payouts while investigating abuse and may modify or end the program prospectively.

9. Merchandise

Stripe processes merchandise payment; Printful or Gelato fulfills applicable products. Prices, shipping and taxes are shown at checkout. Production and delivery estimates are not guarantees. Report damaged, defective or incorrect goods to info@guacoholic.club within 14 days of delivery. Because items may be made to order, returns for preference or sizing follow the checkout or posted return policy, subject to any mandatory consumer rights.

10. Communications

You agree to receive necessary account, security, membership, order, payout and redemption messages. You may opt out of promotional email, but not messages required to provide or secure an active service.

We schedule three-day and one-day advance billing reminders for eligible renewing subscriptions, alongside welcome, installation-tip and claim messages. Delivery or timing is not guaranteed; missing a reminder does not cancel a renewal. Manage or cancel your subscription through billing settings before its renewal date.

Approved agent connections (MCP) currently provide signed-in, read-only spot search. Authorize only assistants you trust; the assistant's handling of results follows its own terms. Home-screen installation is a web app, not an App Store or Google Play purchase; cached pages may be stale and do not guarantee offline access to maps, accounts or checkout.

11. Availability and disclaimers

Restaurant listings, member content, recipes, ripeness information, locations and offers may be incomplete or inaccurate. Use your own judgment regarding food, allergies, safety, travel and purchases. The service is provided as available without warranties to the extent permitted by law.

12. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guacoholic is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from the service, restaurant experiences, member content or third-party services. Guacoholic's aggregate liability will not exceed the amount you paid Guacoholic in the preceding 12 months. Rights that cannot legally be excluded remain unaffected.

13. Termination

You may stop using the service or request account deletion. Guacoholic may suspend or terminate access for violations, fraud, offer or referral abuse, harmful conduct, security risk or legal requirements. Obligations concerning ownership, licenses, payment, liability and disputes survive termination where applicable.

14. Changes, law and contact

We may update these Terms prospectively and will post the new date. Material changes may also be emailed. These Terms are governed by New Mexico law, subject to consumer rights that apply where you live. Disputes will be heard in courts serving Santa Fe, New Mexico unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Questions may be sent to info@guacoholic.club. See the Privacy Policy for details about personal information.
