Please note, the End User License Agreement is now located here.

Effective: November 30, 2020

The following Terms of Service (“Terms” or “Terms of Service”) are a legal agreement between you (“you” or “your”) and Toast, Inc. ("Toast," "we," “us” or “our”) and govern your access to and use of our services, which include any websites, applications, digital ordering features, or any other ways Toast allows you to engage with us directly or through a Merchant that uses Toast (collectively, part of the “Services”). Our Services include, but are not limited to, our websites, including https://www.pos.toasttab.com (our “Websites”); the Toast TakeOut mobile application and related websites and services (“TakeOut App” or “App”); any digital ordering feature that Toast offers to Merchants, including a Merchant’s Online Ordering page and Order & Pay at the Table features (collectively “Digital Ordering”); and Payment Transactions facilitated on the Toast point of sale or via Toast’s scan to pay feature (“Point of Sale”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall be as defined in the Merchant Agreement.

By accessing and/or using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms and any other policies or terms referenced within or posted throughout the Services, including but not limited to promotion terms, guidelines, as well as any rules or terms applicable to particular features or promotions, which are hereby expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference. You also acknowledge that you have read and understand our privacy statement (the “Privacy Statement”).

FROM TIME TO TIME WE MAY UPDATE OR MODIFY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE IN OUR DISCRETION, AND WILL POST THE UPDATED TERMS TO https://pos.toasttab.com/toast/terms-of-service. SUCH UPDATES MAY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO REFLECT ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR SERVICES OR OUR WEBSITE. IF OUR CHANGES REDUCE YOUR RIGHTS OR INCREASE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES, WE WILL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE BY EMAIL OR THROUGH THE TAKEOUT APP, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY NOTIFICATION PREFERENCES YOU HAVE PROVIDED. THE UPDATED TERMS OF SERVICE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE INDICATED IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE (“EFFECTIVE DATE”). ANY USE OF THE SERVICES AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE MEANS YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE UPDATED TERMS. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATED TERMS OF SERVICE IS TO CEASE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND OUR WEBSITE.

These Terms include an agreement to resolve disputes by arbitration, which means that you and Toast waive the right to a trial by jury and agree to resolve any and all disputes through binding arbitration on an individual basis.

If you are an individual, you must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. or Canadian resident, and legally capable of entering into contracts. If you are an entity, organization, or company, or acting on behalf of one, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of such entity, and that you have the authority to and agree to bind it to these Terms. You represent that you will not use the Services, directly or indirectly, for any fraudulent undertakings. When you pay for a Purchase made through Point of Sale, the TakeOut App, or Digital Ordering, you authorize Toast to charge your credit or debit card or other permitted payment method (“Payment Method”) on behalf of the participating Merchant from which you are making a purchase.

1. Services

Toast provides technology services to Merchants to enable dining customers (“Guests”) to place orders for food, beverages, and related products and services provided by the Merchants (“Purchases”) and facilitates payment to the Merchants by the Guests for those purchases with an eligible Payment Method (“Payment Transactions”). Toast facilitates Purchases with Merchants and processes Guests’ payments to Merchants, on behalf of each Merchant.

1.1 Opening and Accessing a Toast Digital Ordering Account

When you use Toast’s Digital Ordering services on a Merchant website or premises, you can choose whether you would like to register and create a Toast Digital Ordering Account (hereinafter “Toast account” or “account”). If you create an account, you may save your credit or debit card and other personal information to make future orders faster and easier. You may make Purchases without creating an account, but you will not be able to save any personal information or preferences for future Purchases. In order to use the TakeOut App, you must download the app to your mobile device and create a Toast account. If you use the same email address for Digital Ordering, the TakeOut App, and/or any Merchant loyalty programs, you will be registered for one account across those services.

When you create an account, we will ask you for certain personal information such as your name, mobile number, and email address, which will be stored with Toast to facilitate your transactions. You may also choose at any time to store Payment Method information, which can be used to pay for future Purchases. Information on how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide to us can be found in our Privacy Statement. You agree to provide true, accurate current and complete information for your account registration, and you agree not to misrepresent your identity or your Payment Method information. It is your responsibility to keep the information you provide us up-to-date and accurate.

Toast may, in its sole discretion, terminate or refuse to approve registrations for Toast Digital Ordering Accounts with or without cause or notice, other than any notice required by Applicable Law and Rules. At this time, Toast Services are offered only to users residing in the United States and Canada.

1.2 Confidentiality.

Only you have the right to access and use your account. You are responsible for ensuring that your login information and Payment Method information remain confidential at all times. Toast will assume that if your login or Payment Method are used to access the Services, the user has the legal authority to use such login or Payment Method. If you become aware of unauthorized use of your login or Payment Method, you agree to notify Toast immediately by email at help@toasttakeout.zendesk.com. You remain liable for any activity on your account until such time as Toast has been notified and has had an opportunity to take appropriate action.

1.3 Toast is not a Party to Payment Transactions

Purchases and Payment Transactions you make through our Services are transactions between you and the Merchant only, not with Toast or any of our affiliates. Toast is not the seller of any product or service offered by Merchants and is not a party to any Payment Transaction facilitated through the Services.

1.4 Using your Account

Once you have created your account, you will be able to make Purchases from Merchants through the Digital Ordering features and the TakeOut App. You can make changes to your account information by logging in on any Online Ordering page or within the App. You will also be able to view your recent Purchase and Payment Transaction history by logging in to your account.

You acknowledge and agree that all aspects of Purchases beyond the services that Toast provides, as well as all engagement and interactions between the Merchant and you, are solely the responsibility of the Merchant.

1.4.1 Digital Ordering.

Digital Ordering features, including Online Ordering pages and Order & Pay at the Table, allow you to make Purchases from a participating Merchant using your own computer or mobile device. You can also manage your Toast account from any Online Ordering page by logging in. You can see your order history from that Merchant while you are logged in.

Some Digital Ordering features may allow you to place multiple orders as part of one Purchase. When you open a check, you may be required to provide payment information prior to completing your Purchase. By providing your payment information for pre-authorization, you agree to pay the total amount shown when you submit the final portion of your order. If you fail to complete payment for your Purchase, the Merchant may be able to charge your payment method after a certain amount of time has passed.

1.4.2 Toast TakeOut App.

The TakeOut App is a mobile application that enables you to make Purchases from participating Merchants for pickup and/or delivery. If your workplace offers a Toast Drop location, you can make Purchases for delivery to your available Drop location via the Toast app. You can manage your Toast account by logging in, and can review your Purchase history within the app.

If you access or download the TakeOut App from the Apple App Store, you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

To use the TakeOut App, you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the App. Toast does not warrant that the App will be compatible with your mobile device. You may use mobile data in connection with the App and incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these services. You agree that you are solely responsible for such charges. Toast hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for one Digital Ordering Account on a mobile device owned or leased by you, for your personal use.

1.4.3 Loyalty and Rewards.

Toast provides technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty and/or rewards programs to Guests. By enrolling in any loyalty program offered by Toast or by a Merchant using Toast’s technology services, you expressly agree to these program terms.

You may enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program by signing up at the Merchant or while placing an order, subject to the Merchant’s terms and conditions related to its loyalty program. Once you have enrolled, you may earn points when you make Purchases from Merchants, which can later be redeemed for discounts or other benefits. If you initiate a return, chargeback, or refund, points associated with the Purchase may be revoked. You may check your current rewards balance by clicking the link you receive when you sign up for a Merchant’s loyalty program.

If you choose to enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program, you agree that the Merchant may contact you using the contact method(s) you provide with program information, offers, and other marketing and transactional communications. Any information shared by Toast with Merchants is subject to our Privacy Statement. Once a Merchant has received information you provide from Toast, the use and governance of that information will be managed by the Merchant, which may have separate privacy practices and policies. Toast does not authorize Merchants to send marketing messages to your mobile number. Merchants may not send marketing messages to your mobile number unless you expressly authorize the Merchant to send you such messages.

Each Merchant is solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of its own loyalty program, including establishing the number of points that you may earn when you make Purchases, setting redemption thresholds, and determining how and when points may be redeemed for rewards. Merchants have the ability to modify their loyalty programs and/or to modify the points balance held by any individual Guest. Toast is not responsible for notifying you in the event that the Merchant changes any element of its loyalty program or ceases to offer a loyalty program. The Merchant is solely responsible for communicating program or points balance changes to you.

Points earned through any loyalty program offered by Toast or a Merchant using Toast have no cash value and cannot be transferred, redeemed, or sold for cash. Subject to notice requirements under Applicable Law and Rules, Toast reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to modify, suspend, terminate, revalue or cancel its own loyalty program and/or the technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty programs through Toast. In the event Toast terminates any loyalty program offered by Toast or by a Merchant, Toast will, in accordance with the Applicable Law and Rules, maintain records of Guest’s loyalty points for one year following termination of the loyalty program in the event the loyalty program is reinstated within one year of termination. Toast reserves the right to adjudicate any discrepancies or disputes regarding rewards allocations or these program terms in its sole discretion and you agree to abide by any such adjudication.

1.5 Merchant Responsibilities

You hereby acknowledge and understand that each Merchant is solely responsible for all aspects of its own day-to-day operations, including provision of food and beverages (by any method, including through delivery), service, environment, and overall quality and accuracy.

1.5.1 Compliance.

You hereby acknowledge and understand that each Merchant is solely responsible and liable for all marketing, selling, pricing, packaging, and provision of any products or services offered to Guests through the Services in compliance with all Applicable Law and Rules. Toast makes no representation or warranty regarding whether a Merchant holds any applicable permit, license, registration, or other credential for its business; whether representations by a Merchant are true and accurate; or whether a Merchant complies with Applicable Law and Rules, and Toast is not responsible for the quality of the products or services provided by Merchants.

1.5.2 Alcoholic Beverages.

Certain Merchants may hold alcoholic beverage licenses and sell alcoholic beverage products. The Merchant holding the alcoholic beverage license must approve your Purchase before the Purchase will be finalized, and only upon acceptance of the order by the Merchant will your Payment Method be charged. The portion of the funds charged to your Payment Method which pertains to your alcoholic beverage product Purchase may be held in an account for the benefit of the alcoholic beverage supplier in compliance with Applicable Law and Rules. Toast acts as a third-party technology provider to and facilitates payment processing on behalf of the Merchant, and has no responsibility or liability to you or any other person for any alcoholic beverage products you may purchase from a Merchant or for any Merchant’s compliance with Applicable Law and Rules, including without limitation, local regulations regarding sale of alcohol. By making a Purchase through the Services for alcoholic beverage products, you represent and warrant that (i) if you are a U.S. consumer attempting to consume alcoholic beverages in the U.S., you are twenty-one (21) years of age or older and, if you are a Canadian consumer attempting to consume alcoholic beverages in Ontario and British Columbia, you are nineteen (19) years of age or older, (ii) you are not procuring alcoholic beverage products for a person under twenty-one (21) years of age in the U.S. or under nineteen (19) years of age in Ontario or British Columbia and, (iii) you will provide bona fide government issued photo identification evidencing your age.

1.6 Closing your Account

You may close your Toast account at any time and without cost, but you will remain liable for any outstanding Purchases as well as any fees or other charges incurred. Toast will not issue refunds for amounts previously incurred through our Services once you close your account.

You can close your account by emailing help@toasttakeout.zendesk.com. Please review our Privacy Statement for further information about our practices regarding your personal information.

In certain cases, we may not allow you to close your account, including but not limited to:

• to evade an investigation;
• you have open or pending Purchases or Payment Transactions; or
• if you owe money to Toast or a Merchant due to your use of the Services.

2. Data Privacy and Security

The privacy and security of your personal information is important to us. Toast’s Privacy Statement describes what information we collect about you, how we may use personal information and the security measures we have taken to protect your personal information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Statement carefully, as it forms a binding part of these Terms of Service and contains important information about your rights.

3. Purchases

Toast makes available the Services and, either directly or through a third party service provider, processes Payment Transactions for Purchases on behalf of Merchants as the agent of the Merchants through the payment networks. When you make a Purchase, you authorize Toast, as agent for the Merchant, to submit the charge in the amount of the Purchase (including any gratuities, fees and taxes) to your Payment Method as well as any credits in connection with chargebacks, reversals, refunds or adjustments. Toast, as the agent of the Merchant, will assist the Merchant in submitting the Payment Transaction to the payment network and processing the Payment Transaction. Upon Toast receiving the proceeds of the transaction, your payment obligation to the Merchant will be deemed completed (except in the case of a later chargeback or reversal).

You must provide a valid Payment Method to pay for your Purchases made through any of the Services. You authorize Toast to confirm your Payment Method is in good standing with the issuing financial institution. In order to do so, Toast may obtain an authorization to charge your Payment Method for a Payment Transaction. This authorization may reduce your available funds balance by the authorization amount until the Payment Transaction is actually charged to your Payment Method and the proceeds are processed and settled. Please contact your Payment Method issuer if you have questions regarding the status of an authorization or of a charge to your Payment Method. You agree that Toast, on behalf of the Merchant, may resubmit a Payment Transaction for processing to a payment network in the event a prior Payment Transaction was declined or returned.

If you choose to store Payment Method information with Toast via any of the Services for your convenience and use in future transactions, you agree that Toast may receive up-to-date information on your Payment Method information (such as card number or expiration date) through services available from the card networks and may update your Payment Method credentials stored with Toast (if you choose to store your Payment Method credentials) from time to time.

We may establish limitations concerning use of the Services, including without limitation individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of Payment Transactions you may make within certain time periods. We may decline to process any Payment Transaction without any notice to you. We may delay processing of or hold or cancel processing of any Payment Transaction upon the direction of the Merchant or if we believe, in our sole discretion, that the transaction is invalid, suspicious, involves misconduct or fraud, or otherwise violates Applicable Law and Rules, these Terms of Service, or any other policies.

Payments made through the Services are also subject to the terms of your agreement with your Payment Method issuer. You are solely responsible for any charges or fees that may be imposed by your Payment Method issuer as a result of using the Services.

4. Permitted Activities

By using the Services, you agree that:

• You will not use the Services in any way that violates Applicable Law and Rules, these Terms, or any other policies.
• You may only use the Services to make Purchases of a legitimate, bona fide product or service that is purchased from a Merchant. The Services may not be used to transfer money or process a Payment Transaction that is unrelated to a purchase of a product or service from a Merchant.
• The information that you upload or post in connection with the Services does not infringe on anyone else's intellectual property or proprietary rights or otherwise conflict with the law or the rights of others.
• You will not upload, post or otherwise transmit through the Services any content that contains any viruses, trojan horses, time bombs, or any other harmful programs or elements.
• You will not provide false information about yourself to us, impersonate any other person, collect information about other users, or otherwise attempt to mislead others about your identity or the truthfulness or accuracy of the data you transmit through the Services.
• You will not damage, disable, disrupt, overburden, interfere with, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of our Services, computer systems, servers or networks, or any other person’s use and enjoyment of the Services.
• Toast may suspend or terminate your use of the Services at its sole discretion for any actual or suspected violation of these limitations or other applicable policies or rules referenced in these Terms of Service.

5. Fees

As of the date of these Terms, Toast does not charge you a fee to make Purchases from Merchants using Toast Services. We reserve the right to charge fees in the future, and any fees applicable to a Purchase or Payment Transaction you make will be clearly disclosed to you prior to the completion of your Purchase.

Merchants may charge you fees as well as taxes in addition to the price of the products or services you purchase. You may also be permitted to provide a gratuity. By making a Purchase through the Services, you agree to pay all such charges, including gratuities, fees and taxes. All amounts to be charged to your Payment Method associated with your Purchase will be displayed to you before you complete your Purchase.

6. Order Changes, Cancellation, Refunds and Customer Service

Merchants each set their own cancellation and refund policies. Once a Purchase has been made through the TakeOut App, any Digital Ordering feature, or a Point of Sale feature, you will need to contact the Merchant directly to inquire if you can make a change to or cancel the Purchase or whether you may receive a refund.

For questions or customer service regarding a Purchase or the product or service provided by a Merchant, please contact the Merchant directly. For the TakeOut App, each Merchant’s contact information for customer service is available on its App listing. Toast is not responsible for any Merchant service issues or content errors or inaccuracies related to a Merchant’s website, menu, or other materials.

For technical questions that relate to your use of Toast app, please email help@toasttakeout.zendesk.com.

7. Promotions

When you use the Toast TakeOut App, Digital Ordering, or other Toast Services, you may be eligible to use codes (“Promotion Codes”) at checkout to receive discounts or other promotional offers on purchases (“Promotions”), subject to any terms and conditions of the specific Promotion Code or Promotion, as displayed on our Websites, on the App, or related print, social media, or digital marketing materials. The promotional value may be issued by Toast or by a Merchant. Promotion Codes may not be redeemed for cash and are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Toast reserves the right to modify, suspend, terminate, or alter the terms of any Promotion Code or Promotion at any time. Promotion codes may not be reused in the event of a cancellation and/or refund.
