9. COMPREHENSIVE DISCLAIMER REGARDING MENU CONTENT, THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION, AND ABSOLUTE ZERO LIABILITY

This section supplements and reinforces the disclaimers stated in our Terms of Use. By using MenuBank, you expressly acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following:

• Nature of the Platform: MenuBank operates strictly and exclusively as a third-party informational aggregator, indexer, and user-driven sharing platform. MenuBank does NOT create, manufacture, prepare, serve, or sell any food, beverage, or product listed within the App.
• Origin of Menu Data: The menus, prices, food descriptions, photographs, and all restaurant-related information available in the App are sourced ENTIRELY from publicly available QR menus, physical menus, and publicly accessible menu lists of the respective businesses. Almost all of this content is contributed, photographed, uploaded, and added by independent users of the App—NOT by MenuBank or its developers. MenuBank does not independently verify, create, or endorse any menu content.
• Publicly Available Information: All menus displayed in the App have already been made completely public by the respective businesses and actively shared with their customers in physical or digital form. MenuBank solely indexes factual information (such as food items and prices) that is already in the public domain. No private, confidential, or proprietary business information is knowingly collected or disclosed by MenuBank.
• No Affiliation, Agency, or Endorsement: MenuBank is an entirely independent platform. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, partnered with, or acting as an agent for any restaurant, business, or entity whose menu appears in the App. The presence of a menu does not imply any commercial relationship, recommendation, quality guarantee, or endorsement of any kind.
• "As Is" Information — No Guarantees Whatsoever: All menu content is provided on a strictly "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. MenuBank makes ABSOLUTELY NO warranty, representation, or guarantee—express or implied—regarding the accuracy, completeness, currentness, reliability, or fitness for any purpose of any menu, price, allergen information, nutritional data, ingredient list, operating hour, or description displayed in the App. Users must independently verify all information directly with the respective business before making any decisions based on App content.
• Health, Allergen, and Dietary Disclaimer: MenuBank explicitly disclaims any and all liability for health-related consequences, allergic reactions, food poisoning, dietary issues, or any physical or psychological harm resulting from reliance on menu information displayed in the App. Users with food allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary requirements MUST contact the respective business directly to confirm ingredients and preparation methods. MenuBank bears no responsibility for any adverse health outcome.
• Price and Availability Disclaimer: Prices, availability, and menu items displayed in the App may be outdated, incorrect, or no longer available at the respective business. MenuBank does not guarantee the accuracy of any pricing information and shall not be held liable for any price discrepancy between the App and the actual restaurant.
• Absolute Zero Liability — Total Legal Protection: To the absolute maximum extent permitted by the laws of the Republic of Turkey and all applicable international laws, MenuBank, its founder (Musa Erdem Mecit), developers, employees, affiliates, agents, successors, assigns, and representatives accept ABSOLUTELY NO LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY, LIABILITY, OR OBLIGATION—whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence and gross negligence), strict liability, statutory duty, consumer protection law, intellectual property law, or any other legal theory—for any loss, damage, expense, claim, or harm of any kind arising from or related to the addition, display, accuracy, validity, copyright status, trademark status, intellectual property status, or use of menus and restaurant information within the App. This includes, without limitation, any direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages (including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, business opportunities, goodwill, or reputation).
• Waiver of Claims — All Parties: By using the App, you irrevocably and unconditionally waive any and all rights to bring any claims, lawsuits, class actions, collective actions, arbitration proceedings, or legal demands of any nature against MenuBank, its developer, or affiliates regarding the menus and their content. This waiver explicitly and without limitation applies to: (a) individual users of the App; (b) restaurant or business owners, operators, and their authorized representatives; (c) franchise holders and brand licensees; (d) local, regional, national, or international governmental authorities; (e) regulatory bodies and enforcement agencies; (f) consumer protection agencies and ombudsmen; (g) intellectual property rights holders; and (h) any other third party or entity claiming any interest.
• Notice and Takedown Policy: If a business owner, authorized representative, intellectual property rights holder, or any party has a valid complaint, copyright/trademark infringement claim, or wishes their menu to be removed from the App, they may contact us at mecitmusa@gmail.com. MenuBank commits to the prompt removal of disputed content upon receipt of a valid, written request. Such removal is performed as a courtesy and good-faith measure and does NOT constitute an admission of liability, fault, infringement, or wrongdoing of any kind.
• Indemnification: You agree to fully indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MenuBank, its founder (Musa Erdem Mecit), developers, employees, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your uploading of any content to the App; (c) your violation of these Terms or this Privacy Policy; (d) your violation of any rights of any third party through the App; or (e) any dispute between you and any restaurant, business, or third party arising from information displayed in the App.
• Severability: If any provision of this Disclaimer is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
