The fine print, minus the fine print.

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using the website at 86ops.ai (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Who we are

The Site is operated by 86ops ("we", "us", "our"), based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. You can reach us at [email protected].

3. What the Site is and is not

The Site is an informational and marketing website describing the 86ops restaurant-operations platform and inviting interested operators to request a consultation. Nothing on the Site is a contract, a guarantee of results, or professional advice. Our hosted platform is governed by a separate subscription or master services agreement that customers sign before onboarding.

4. Permitted use

You may view, browse, and share the Site's public content for informational purposes. You may submit the consultation form with accurate information about your operation. You may quote short excerpts of our content with attribution.

You may not:

• use automated systems (scrapers, spiders, bots) to harvest content or submissions except for standard search-engine indexing consistent with our robots.txt;
• attempt to probe, scan, or test the Site's infrastructure, bypass authentication or security controls, or interfere with its availability;
• submit false, misleading, or third-party information through the consultation form;
• reproduce, frame, or mirror the Site in a way that could confuse visitors about its source;
• use the Site to violate any applicable law, including anti-spam, export-control, or sanctions laws.

5. Intellectual property

The Site's design, copy, code, branding (including the "86ops", "86 Score", "86 Garrett", "86 Aldo", and "86 Dale" names and marks), images, and structured data are owned by us or licensed to us. They are protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and related rights. Nothing in these terms grants you a licence to use them other than the permitted uses in section 4.

Third-party trademarks referenced on the Site (for example, the names of POS or payroll systems we integrate with) belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

6. Consultation form submissions

When you submit the consultation form, you represent that:

• the information you provide is accurate and relates to an operation for which you are authorized to make inquiries;
• you are the owner of, or have consent to use, the email address and phone number you provide;
• you understand the submission is not a contract and does not obligate either party to anything.

Our handling of submission data is described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Links to third parties

The Site may link to third-party websites (for example, Cloudflare, Resend, regulators, tooling vendors). We provide those links for convenience and do not endorse, and are not responsible for, the content or practices of those third parties. Your interactions with them are governed by their terms and policies.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Site or its content will meet your requirements or that any described feature, number, or example is applicable to your specific operation.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will 86ops, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or service providers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from or related to the Site is limited to one hundred Canadian dollars (CA$100).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 86ops, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and service providers from and against any claim, demand, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.

11. Changes to the Site and these Terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may also update these Terms to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the most recent version. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. The courts of Ontario have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us concerning the Site and supersede any prior understandings on the same subject.
