RESTODAN'S ROLE
RESTODAN is a technology and intermediary platform that brings restaurants and end users together in a digital environment. RESTODAN is not the seller, provider, manufacturer or distributor of products or services offered through the Platform.
Menus, product descriptions, prices, campaigns, images and other content available on the Platform are created and managed by the relevant Restaurants. The relevant Restaurant is responsible for the accuracy, currency and legal compliance of this information.
RESTODAN is not a party to the commercial relationship established between the Restaurant and the End User. The relevant Restaurant is responsible for matters such as preparation, presentation and delivery of products, service quality, hygiene conditions, product contents, allergen information, pricing and customer satisfaction.
RESTODAN does not collect any payments from End Users, does not provide payment services and does not act as a payment institution. Payments made through the Platform are collected directly through the relevant Restaurant's own payment infrastructure, virtual POS system, payment institution or physical payment methods.
Accordingly, RESTODAN is not responsible for execution of payment transactions, collection, refunds, cancellations, chargeback processes or disputes relating to payment services. Rights and obligations regarding these matters are between the relevant Restaurant and the End User and, under applicable legislation, are the responsibility of the relevant payment service provider.
RESTODAN's responsibility is limited to the technical operation of the Platform and provision of the digital infrastructure enabling the parties to communicate with each other.

ACCOUNT CREATION AND SECURITY
A user account may be required to use certain sections of the Platform.
The User agrees that the information provided when creating an account is accurate, current and complete.
The user account is personal and may not be transferred, rented or made available to third parties.
The User is responsible for ensuring the security of the username, telephone number, email address, password and other access information associated with the account.
The User is responsible for transactions carried out through the user account.
If unauthorized access is suspected, the User must notify RESTODAN without delay.
ASSOCIATION OF USER ACCOUNTS WITH PROFILES AND ROLES
The user account created on the Platform is the User's primary account. Under the same account, the User may be associated with end-user, restaurant owner, restaurant manager, service staff, kitchen staff, delivery staff, courier, integrator or other profiles and roles that may be offered by the Platform.
Association of a User with different profiles or roles does not mean that a new user account has been created. The Platform may enable multiple profiles, business relationships, duties and permissions to be managed under the same user account.
A restaurant owner or authorized person may add a User to a business account as staff through a QR code, temporary verification code or similar secure methods provided by the Platform. This establishes a role and authorization relationship between the relevant User's Platform account and the relevant business.
The User agrees to use assigned roles and permissions solely for the relevant duty, business or service purpose, not to share permissions with third parties and not to perform unauthorized transactions.
The Platform may retain records relating to Users' roles, permissions and business relationships for security, account integrity, prevention of unauthorized access and proper provision of services.
Different profiles may offer different user interfaces, dashboards, menus, notifications, operational screens or permission levels. The User may switch between profiles using methods provided by the Platform.

AUGMENTED REALITY (AR) AND DIGITAL SHOWCASE FEATURES
The Platform may use augmented reality technologies to make it easier for Users to discover restaurants around them.
Within this scope, Users may use their device cameras to view content relating to nearby restaurants.
The following content may be displayed in AR and digital showcase features:
- Restaurant names.
- Menus.
- Product images.
- Campaigns.
- Opening hours.
- Reservation information.
- Images of recently added or recently prepared products.
- User reviews.
RESTODAN reserves the right to change the ranking methods and display algorithms for content shown in AR and digital showcase features.
RESTODAN does not guarantee the accuracy, currency or completeness of content displayed in AR and digital showcase features.
Augmented reality (AR), direction, location and nearby-business display features may operate using GPS/GNSS location, compass, magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer and similar sensor data obtained from the user's device, together with map and location data.
Such data may be affected by the technical characteristics and calibration of the device, magnetic fields, metal structures, electronic devices, vehicles, buildings, environmental conditions, GPS/GNSS signal quality, radio-frequency interference, third-party location services and other natural or artificial factors beyond RESTODAN's control.
Accordingly, restaurant names, logos, markers, distances, directions or other visual elements displayed on the AR screen may temporarily or continuously deviate from their actual physical locations; they may appear on or near another business, structure or location, or may overlap with other AR elements.
AR displays are approximate and assistive in nature and do not constitute a guarantee of exact location, direction, navigation, property boundaries or the physical location of any business. Users should not rely solely on AR displays as definitive direction or location information.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, RESTODAN shall not be liable for misdirection, confusion or any resulting direct or indirect damages arising from AR content being displayed inaccurately, displaced, overlapping or over a different physical location due to device sensor errors, device calibration issues, deviations in location or direction data, signal interference, environmental or electromagnetic effects, third-party services or similar technical causes not attributable to RESTODAN.
If the User/Restaurant identifies a material location or directional deviation in an AR display, the matter may be reported to RESTODAN through the reporting channels provided on the Platform. Where sufficient technical information is available, RESTODAN shall, within reasonable technical capabilities, investigate whether the reported issue originates from the software, location data, device sensors, device calibration, third-party services or environmental factors, and shall take reasonable technical measures to remedy errors determined to originate from RESTODAN's systems.
Where device, sensor, location, application-version, event-time or similar technical information reasonably necessary for the investigation cannot be provided, it may not be possible to conclusively determine the source of the reported deviation. Such inability shall not, by itself, create a presumption that the deviation originated either from RESTODAN or from the user's device.
