Paletra Terms of Use
1. Parties and scope
These Terms of Use ("Terms") apply to the use of the Paletra mobile app and related internet services (the "Service") provided by Luka Rolik Gıda Sanayi Ticaret Limited Şirketi (Siteler Mah. 9 Eylül Cad. No: 11, İç Kapı No: 5, Aliağa / İzmir, Türkiye; info@paletra.net) ("Paletra" or "we").
By using the Service you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, you must not use the Service.
2. What Paletra is, and is not
Paletra helps you discover dishes and restaurants by your taste, see restaurants' menus, send reservation and pre-order requests, and keep your own food-related records.
Paletra:
- is not a restaurant; it does not prepare, serve or deliver food;
- is not a payment institution; no payment is taken through the app;
- is not a medical, dietitian or nutrition advice service;
- does not certify allergen safety; it does not undertake that any dish is safe for you.
3. Account
3.1. You can use part of the Service as a guest, without creating an account. A guest session is tied to the session on your device; if you delete the app or sign out you may not be able to reach your guest records again. To keep your records you can create an account.
3.2. An account can be created with email and password, or with your Google or Apple account. You are responsible for the information you give being accurate and current, and for the security of your account and device. Actions taken with your account are deemed yours.
3.3. Each person should use one account, in their own name. You may not open an account in someone else's name or by impersonating someone.
4. Recommendations, Taste Map and personalisation
4.1. Paletra's recommendations are an automatic ranking based on the preferences you state, your own marks in the app and the dish information restaurants declare. Recommendations are not advice, a guarantee or an undertaking of suitability; they do not mean you will like a dish.
4.2. Phrases such as "Excellent match", "Strong match" and "Worth trying" indicate closeness according to the information Paletra has; they are not a health or safety assessment.
4.3. Content based on zodiac sign and character traits is for entertainment and discovery; it carries no scientific or health-related claim.
5. Restaurant and menu information
5.1. Restaurant and menu information in Paletra (dish names, descriptions, ingredients, photographs, prices, opening hours) is provided by the restaurant concerned, which is responsible for its accuracy. Paletra does not independently verify it.
5.2. Prices and availability may be changed by the restaurant at any time. The price shown in the app may differ from the price charged at the restaurant; the restaurant's own current price is the one that applies.
5.3. Restaurant and menu information added by the community is user contribution, not an official restaurant declaration, and is marked as such in the app.
5.4. Menus read from QR codes and sources outside Paletra. Information read from a menu link that does not belong to Paletra belongs to the business concerned; it may be incomplete, wrong or out of date. It is not an official declaration by Paletra or by the restaurant, and must not be relied on, in particular for allergens and prices.
6. Allergens — important
6.1. Paletra shows a dish's allergen information only if the restaurant has declared it. Dishes declared to contain an allergen you listed are not recommended to you.
6.2. If a dish has no allergen information, that does not mean the dish is free of allergens. Unknown information stays unknown; Paletra does not guess.
6.3. Paletra cannot know or supervise cross-contamination, kitchen practice, recipe changes or the accuracy of a restaurant's declaration.
6.4. If you have an allergy, an intolerance or a medical diet, always confirm ingredient and allergen information directly with the restaurant before you order. Nothing in Paletra replaces that confirmation.
7. Calories, nutrition and health information
7.1. Calorie and nutrition values shown in the app are the restaurant's declaration; they may be approximate and are not verified by Paletra. Values that are not declared are shown as "unknown"; they are not estimated.
7.2. The water, meal, step, active-energy and goal information in "My Paletra" is only for you to see your own records. Daily totals cover only the meals you logged in Paletra whose calories are known; they may not reflect your actual intake.
7.3. Nothing in Paletra is medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or a diet recommendation. For decisions about your health, consult your doctor or dietitian.
8. Reservations and pre-orders
8.1. A reservation you make through Paletra is a request; it becomes final when the restaurant confirms it. The restaurant may decline or cancel the request.
8.2. The service relationship for a reservation and a pre-order is between you and the restaurant. The table being ready, and the quality, service, price and invoicing of the food, are the restaurant's responsibility.
8.3. You can cancel your reservation up to the time shown in the app. If you are not coming, please cancel; repeated no-shows may lead to your account's reservation feature being restricted.
8.4. A pre-order is not a payment; payment is made at the restaurant. Once the restaurant has started preparing, a pre-order may no longer be changeable.
8.5. The name, phone number, note and special requests you give for a reservation are passed to the restaurant.
9. Contribution points and rewards
9.1. Contribution points are given for your contributions to Paletra. They have no cash value, and cannot be converted to money, transferred or sold.
9.2. Rewards are subject to the terms of the restaurant and the reward concerned; they may be limited by stock and time. Paletra may change or end the rewards programme.
9.3. Points and rewards gained by fraud or in breach of the rules may be cancelled. When you delete your account, your points and unused rewards end.
10. Community and user content
10.1. Reviews, comments, guides, photographs, polls, meetups and the restaurant or menu information you add to the community ("Content") belong to you, and you are responsible for them.
10.2. You accept that your Content is based on your own real experience, is accurate, that you have the right to publish it, and that it does not infringe third parties' rights.

10.4. Images you upload. You may upload only images you took yourself or have the right to use. If other people appear in an image, obtaining their consent is your responsibility.
10.5. Collaboration disclosure. If, as a Paletra Guide, you publish content in return for payment, a free meal or any other benefit from a restaurant, you must state this clearly using the collaboration disclosure in the app.
10.6. Paletra may remove, or restrict the visibility of, Content it considers contrary to these Terms, the community rules or the law. Paletra is not obliged to review Content before it is published.
