These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Food Challenge Hub mobile application and website (together, the "Service"), operated by Food Challenge Hub Ltd ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Food Challenge Hub is a directory and community platform for discovering, tracking, and discussing food-eating challenges hosted by independent, third-party restaurants and venues ("Venues"). We do not organise, run, host, or supervise any challenge ourselves.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that any information you provide during registration is accurate.
You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Let us know immediately if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
Eating challenges carry genuine physical risk. Attempting to eat large quantities of food, spicy food, or food within a time limit can cause choking, aspiration, allergic reaction, vomiting, gastric injury, and — in rare cases — death.
Challenges listed on the Service are hosted, operated, and supervised (if at all) entirely by independent third-party Venues, not by us. We do not verify that a challenge is being run safely, that stated weights/times/ingredients are accurate, or that a Venue has appropriate food-safety, allergen, or emergency procedures in place.
You participate in any challenge entirely at your own risk. You should not attempt a challenge if you have any swallowing difficulty, relevant allergy, or medical condition, without first consulting a doctor — and you should always confirm allergen and ingredient information directly with the Venue before eating, since listings on the Service may be incomplete or out of date. Never attempt a challenge while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if you feel unwell.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Food Challenge Hub Ltd accepts no liability for injury, illness, death, or other harm arising from your participation in any challenge, howsoever caused, including where a challenge listing was inaccurate, out of date, or submitted by another user or Venue in error.
You may submit challenge listings, results, photos, videos, tips, reviews, and other content ("User Content"). You're solely responsible for the accuracy and legality of anything you submit. By submitting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and distribute it within the Service (including to other users) for as long as it remains on the Service.
Do not submit content that is false, defamatory, infringes someone else's rights, or that you don't have permission to share (e.g. a photo or video you didn't take and don't have rights to).
User Content is uploaded by users of the Service, not created or vetted by us before it appears. We are not responsible for, and disclaim all liability arising from, any User Content that infringes a third party's copyright or other intellectual property rights. Responsibility for ensuring User Content doesn't infringe another party's rights rests solely with the user who submitted it.
If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our DMCA Designated Agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office (registration number DMCA-1079600):

Your notice should include: (1) a description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed; (2) the specific location of the content on the Service (e.g. a link or screenshot); (3) your contact details; and (4) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorised, and that the information you've provided is accurate. We will review valid notices and remove or disable access to infringing content, and may suspend or terminate the account of a user found to be a repeat infringer.
Challenge submissions, edits, and results go through a review process before appearing publicly, and may be rejected, corrected, or removed at our discretion — including after publication, if we later determine something was inaccurate, unsafe to leave listed, or in breach of these Terms.
We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these Terms, at our discretion, with or without notice.
Eaters and Venues may separately purchase an optional Premium subscription, unlocking additional features described in the app. Subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or yearly, as selected) and renew automatically until cancelled.
Subscription prices may change with notice; continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price for future renewals.
Venues listed on the Service are independent businesses, not our employees, agents, or franchisees. We're not responsible for a Venue's food safety practices, hygiene standards, staff conduct, or whether they honour a listed challenge's stated reward. Any dispute with a Venue is between you and that Venue.
The Service, including its design, branding, and underlying software, is owned by Food Challenge Hub Ltd and protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these Terms grants you rights to our trademarks or branding beyond what's needed to use the Service normally.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Food Challenge Hub Ltd shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any injury, illness, or death arising from participation in a challenge listed on the Service (see Section 4). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence.
You agree to indemnify and hold Food Challenge Hub Ltd harmless from any claim, loss, or damage (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your User Content, or your breach of these Terms.
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time via the app. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date above. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to support@foodchallengehub.com.
