1. Business Content Rules and Responsibilities
1.1 Accuracy and legality of offers
Business users are solely responsible for the legality, accuracy, completeness, timing, pricing, availability, redemption terms, and fulfillment of all content they submit or cause to be displayed through the Service, including specials, events, promotions, menus, photos, alcohol‑related offers, disclaimers, and business descriptions.
All content submitted through the Service must:
- be truthful, current, and not misleading;
- match the goods or services actually offered by the business;
- comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, licenses, and industry rules;
- not infringe any third‑party intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; and
- not include spam, fraudulent content, malware, deceptive claims, discriminatory content, or unlawful material.
1.2 AI‑assisted formatting, automation, and internal review
3Specials may use automated systems, including AI and optical character recognition (OCR) tools, to help parse, classify, summarize, extract, compare, or format business‑submitted content. This may include specials, listings, and business‑verification documents or related submission materials. Automated formatting does not transfer responsibility for the underlying content from the business to 3Specials.
When used for business‑verification documents, AI or OCR tools may help extract or compare fields such as business name, address, or business identifiers to assist our internal review. Such processing is advisory only and does not guarantee approval. AI or OCR output is not the sole basis for approving, rejecting, or suspending a business claim, listing, or account. 3Specials may conduct human review and may require additional documents or information before making a determination.
Business users remain responsible for reviewing their published content promptly and requesting corrections where needed. 3Specials may, but is not obligated to, hold, confirm, label, moderate, edit, or remove content that appears incomplete, deceptive, unlawful, dangerous, or likely to cause consumer confusion.
1.3 Alcohol, regulated, and age‑restricted offers
If you post or promote any offer involving alcohol or another regulated or age‑restricted product or service, you represent and warrant that the offer complies with all applicable federal, state, and local advertising, pricing, licensing, age‑verification, and service laws in every jurisdiction where the offer is displayed or redeemed. We may flag, delay, limit, or remove such content at any time.
1.4 License to content you submit
When you submit or upload public or merchant‑facing business content to the Service—such as listings, specials, menus, logos, descriptions, photos chosen for display, and other content intended for publication—you grant 3Specials a worldwide, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free, sublicensable license to host, store, copy, reproduce, modify, format, translate, display, distribute, analyze, and otherwise use that content as needed to operate, secure, improve, and promote the Service. This license continues for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, maintain backups, resolve disputes, comply with law, and preserve records.
Private business‑verification documents and related non‑public submission materials are treated differently. For those materials, you grant 3Specials a limited, non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license to host, store, copy, process, and analyze them solely as needed to review claims, verify business authority, prevent fraud, protect the Service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and preserve records. This narrower license does not include the right to publicly display, distribute, or use private verification documents to promote the Service.
1.5 Business verification documents
If 3Specials requests verification documents as part of a business claim, listing correction, or removal request, you agree that we may use those documents internally to verify your claim, assess business authority, and prevent fraud. We may share verification documents with service providers that assist with document processing, storage, or AI/OCR‑based review, as described in our Privacy Policy.
We may reject, request resubmission of, or decline to act on verification submissions that appear fraudulent, forged, deceptive, incomplete, unauthorized, illegible, or otherwise inconsistent with applicable requirements. We may also report fraudulent or unlawful verification submissions to law enforcement or other appropriate authorities.
1.6 No certification or endorsement
Review, claim approval, or verification status does not mean that 3Specials certifies, endorses, or guarantees the business’s legal compliance, licensure, ownership, food safety, financial condition, or ongoing good standing. Any verification is point‑in‑time and may be revised, revoked, or limited at any time in our discretion. 3Specials is not responsible for verifying the ongoing accuracy of information a business submits after initial review.
