User Terms and Conditions
Version 1.1, effective August 5, 2026
Thank you for using Bitezar and joining our movement to make food affordable and accessible for the community.
1. Joining the Bitezar movement
1.1 Bitezar’s mission is to make food more affordable by creating a marketplace where consumers can discover great local deals and local businesses can reach more customers. Our technology platform connects consumers with local food businesses offering affordable food, special offers, and discounted Food Items (referred to as the "Bitezar Platform," "App," or simply the "Platform"). Through the Platform, we make it easier for consumers to discover affordable local food options while helping participating businesses reach more customers and offer Food Items at attractive prices.
1.2 We provide a simple marketplace that enables consumers who use our Platform (collectively, "users," and in these User Terms referred to as "you" or "user") to discover and purchase Food Items from retail and food service businesses such as supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, food trucks, bakeries, manufacturers, and other participating businesses (each a "Store"). Our Platform helps you find participating Stores and purchase Food Items, including discounted meals, groceries, special offers, promotional items, excess inventory, and other food products made available by Stores. Stores determine which Food Items they list, their prices and discounts, quantities, availability, and applicable pickup periods.
1.3 As you use our Platform, keep in mind that Bitezar does not own, control, prepare, offer, or manage the contents of any Food Items made available by Stores for Purchase. Bitezar is also not a party to the sale of the Food Items that Stores provide to you.

You must register and create an account by providing us with all the information we require during account registration or any time after ("Account") on the App. You must keep your Account information complete, accurate and updated.

3.3 Purchases.
You may purchase Food Items available for sale by a Store by selecting your desired Store through the App (each a "Purchase"). A list of active Stores with available Food Items can be found on the App.
The list of Stores displayed to you is based on various criteria that you may be able to filter, including geographical location and other options made available through the App from time to time.
Keep in mind that:
By making a Purchase, you reserve Food Items listed by a Store. However, Food Items may occasionally become unavailable because of inventory changes, demand, availability, operational circumstances, or other factors affecting the Store. If the Food Items you selected are no longer available, the Store may cancel the sale as described in Section 3.6. You will be entitled to a full refund in such case.
3.4 Purchase Confirmation.
Once we receive the Purchase Order, we will begin processing it by sending it to the relevant Store. We will notify you that the Purchase Order has been received and provide you with an order identification number (each an "Order Number") that is redeemable for the selected Food Items at the applicable Store. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Order Number in the App can be shown to the Store and accepted upon Pick-up.
3.5 Pick-up.
You must retrieve the Food Items purchased through the App at the designated location during the pickup period stated in the App and Order Confirmation. Upon Pick-up, you shall show your Order Number in the App to the Store, after which the Store will provide the selected Food Items. You should make sure that the Food Items provided correspond to your Purchase Order. If you do not Pick-up the purchased Food Items within the pickup period specified in the Order Confirmation, the Food Items may no longer be available and we may be entitled to charge you the Purchase Price, subject to these Terms and applicable law.
3.6 Purchase cancellation.
At times, Stores may not have the Food Items originally listed or anticipated to be available, or other circumstances may prevent a Store from fulfilling an Order. For these and other reasons, Purchases may be cancelled by you, Stores, or Bitezar as provided below.
3.6.1 Cancellation by you
In App — You may cancel a Purchase within the App at any time before the Order status is updated as "Ready" by the Store. Once the Order is marked "Ready," meaning the Store has fulfilled your Order and it is ready for Pick-up, you can no longer cancel it through the App.
In Store — You may request cancellation of your Purchase at the Store before you Pick-up your reserved Food Items, subject to these Terms and any applicable cancellation restrictions. You must communicate your request to us through the Refund Request feature in the App.
3.6.2 Cancellation by Store
A Store may cancel your Purchase when it is unable to fulfill the Order. A Store may need to cancel an Order because of inventory changes, unexpected demand, product availability, operational issues, errors in a listing, or other circumstances affecting fulfillment. If a Store cancels your Purchase, you will receive a cancellation notification via email and/or through the App, provided that you have supplied us with accurate contact information and agreed to receive such notifications. If a Store cancels an Order before Pick-up, you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid for the cancelled Food Items, subject to these Terms and applicable law.
3.6.3 Cancellation by Bitezar
Purchases may be cancelled by Bitezar at our discretion when reasonably necessary, including in the event of a product recall, safety concern, Store or user dispute, suspected fraud, technical issue, violation of these Terms, or another circumstance that we reasonably determine requires cancellation.
