      1. displaying and selling your restaurant’s reservation availability and menu items via the Platform; and
      2. collecting payments from Users for pre-ordered items (and applicable taxes) on your behalf.

    2. Contractual Relationship with Users. Any contract for dining services or the sale of food/beverages is entered into directly between you (the Restaurant) and the User. Table Quest is not a party to that contract and bears no responsibility for its execution, quality of service, or compliance with local health, safety, and licensing requirements.

    3. No Performance Guarantee. As an intermediary, Table Quest does not guarantee you any minimum number of reservations, orders, or revenue. Reservations and pre-orders are made at the sole discretion of Users.

    4. Core Services Provided. Table Quest will provide the following core Services to you:

      1. Online Listing – an online profile for your venue on the Platform, which may include information such as your name, address, contact details, description, photos, menu items, pricing, and availability. You are solely responsible for ensuring all information is accurate and up-to-date.
      2. Reservation & Pre-Order Functionality – the ability for Users to make Reservations at your venue for time slots you configure, and optionally Pre-Order menu items when booking. You will have access to a Table Host dashboard, which allows you to manage your profile, availability, reservations, and orders.
      3. Payment Processing – integration with Stripe to process User payments for any Pre-Orders. Payments will be collected by Table Quest (via Stripe) as your agent, and settled to you after deducting the applicable Commission and fees (see “Payment & Commission” section).
      4. Notifications & Support – timely notifications of new reservations and orders via the dashboard, email, and/or SMS. Basic customer support will be provided to both you and Users for issues related to Platform functionality.
      5. Review System – Users may leave reviews of their experience. Reviews will be published in line with our moderation policy, and we reserve the right to remove reviews that are false, abusive, or otherwise violate our guidelines.

    5. Additional Features. Table Quest may offer optional services (including analytics, promotional campaigns, featured placement, or marketing tools).

      1. All fees, duration, placement conditions, and ranking algorithms related to such services shall be transparently disclosed to Partners in a separate Marketing Annex.
      2. Participation in promotional services is strictly optional, and no negative adjustment of organic search ranking shall occur if the Partner chooses not to participate.
      3. Where promotional campaigns involve User incentives (e.g., discounts or loyalty credits), the allocation of costs between Table Quest and the Partner shall be agreed upon in writing in advance.

    6. Service Levels. Table Quest shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure at least 99% monthly uptime of the Platform (excluding scheduled maintenance notified in advance). Support inquiries from Partners shall be acknowledged within 24 hours on business days.

  10. PARTNER OBLIGATIONS

        3. Prices for items listed on the Platform must be consistent with your standard on-site pricing. Materially higher online prices, hidden surcharges, or discriminatory pricing practices are prohibited and may constitute a breach of EU consumer protection law.

        1. You shall manage table availability in real-time through the Table Host dashboard or in coordination with Table Quest to ensure that the displayed availability is accurate.
        2. Acceptance of a reservation via the Platform constitutes a binding commitment to honour it, save for circumstances beyond your reasonable control (including force majeure events).
        3. You must avoid double-booking and last-minute cancellations. If due to unforeseen circumstances, you cannot honour a reservation or a specific Pre-Ordered item, you must notify the User (or Table Quest) promptly and offer a suitable remedy, which may include an alternative booking time, substitute items, or a refund.

      4. Service Standards and User Treatment

        1. You shall provide service to Table Quest Users to at least the same standard you provide to your regular clientele, without discrimination or prejudice.

        4. You are solely responsible for the quality, safety, and compliance of the food and beverages you serve, as well as for ensuring that you meet all applicable health, hygiene, and safety regulations.

      5. Compliance with Laws and Regulatory Requirements

        1.

        3. You shall comply with all applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”), when processing User personal data.

      6. Handling Allergies and Special Requests

        2. You shall ensure that staff are aware of and act upon allergy-related notes, and that appropriate measures are taken to prevent cross-contamination.
        3. You acknowledge that the legal duty to advise and serve customers with allergies rests solely with you. Table Quest’s role is limited to passing on information provided by Users without liability for its accuracy or completeness.

        2. You should retain a reservation for a reasonable grace period (minimum 15 minutes) after the scheduled time before classifying the booking as a no-show, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
        3. If a no-show occurs, you may apply the agreed cancellation/no-show policy in accordance with the relevant section of these Terms.

      8. Non-Circumventi

        1. You shall not solicit, encourage, or induce Users introduced through the Platform to place future reservations or orders directly with you in order to avoid Table Quest’s commission or fees.
        2. You shall not use User contact details obtained through the Platform for marketing purposes outside the scope of fulfilling that User’s booking, without the User’s explicit consent, in compliance with GDPR.

      9. Prohibited Conduct. You shall not:

        1. misuse or interfere with the Platform or its technical infrastructure;
        2. engage in fraudulent activity, including creating false bookings or reviews;
        3. transmit unsolicited commercial communications (“spam”) to Users;
        4. engage in conduct that could damage the reputation of Table Quest, its Platform, or other partners; or
        5. use the Platform for any unlawful purpose.

      10. Equipment and Materials. Where Table Quest provides any equipment (such as tablets, QR stands, or promotional displays), the Partner shall be responsible for their proper use and safekeeping. In case of loss or damage beyond normal wear and tear, the Partner shall reimburse Table Quest at replacement value.

  11. COMMISSION AND FEES

    1. Consideration for Services. In consideration for the Services provided by Table Quest under these Partner Terms, you agree to pay us a commission and related fees for each Order (defined as a reservation with a Pre-Order) made through the Platform.

    2. Commission Structure

      1. Commission Rate. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the standard Commission is ten percent (10%) of the gross value (including VAT) of all Pre-Ordered items in the Order. Table Quest reserves the right, at its discretion or through written agreement, to apply a reduced Commission rate for promotional purposes, pilot programs, or incentives for new clients.
      2. Fixed Order Fee. EUR 0.50 (fifty euro cents) per Order, excluding VAT, is applied to every reservation made through the Platform, regardless of order size.
      3. VAT on Commission. Where applicable (e.g., if your business is registered in Bulgaria), VAT will be added to the Commission and Fixed Order Fee in accordance with Bulgarian VAT legislation.

    3. Illustrative Example. If a User Pre-Orders EUR 50 (gross, VAT included) of menu items, the Commission charged will be 10% of EUR 50 = EUR 5.00, plus the Fixed Order Fee of EUR 0.50. This results in a total Commission of EUR 5.50 (exclusive of VAT on our fee, if applicable).

    4. No Commission on Fully Refunded Orders. No Commission will be charged where an Order is cancelled and fully refunded to the User, whether due to:

      1. a timely cancellation by the User under the applicable cancellation policy;
      2. a full refund initiated or approved by the Restaurant; or
      3. the Restaurant’s inability to fulfil the Order.

    5. Partial Refunds. Where an Order is partially refunded, Commission will be charged pro rata only on the net amount retained by the Restaurant, plus the Fixed Order Fee, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Example: If EUR 50 was prepaid, and you refund EUR 20 to the User, you retain EUR 30. Commission is charged on the EUR 30 net value, plus EUR 0.50.

    6. When Commission is Earned. Commission is deemed earned by Table Quest once the Restaurant receives payment for the Order (in whole or in part). For clarity, Table Quest earns no Commission on amounts never received by the Restaurant.

    7. Right to Modify Commission and Fees

      1. Table Quest reserves the right to amend the Commission structure and fees in the future.
      2. Any such change will be communicated to you with not less than 15 days’ prior notice (or longer if required under applicable law, including the EU Platform-to-Business Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2019/1150)).
      3. If you do not agree to the revised rates, you have the right to terminate this Agreement before the new rates take effect. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of the change will constitute acceptance of the revised Commission and fees.

    8. Taxes and Withholdings. You are responsible for any taxes, duties, or levies applicable to the amounts you receive from Users. Table Quest is not responsible for withholding or remitting any taxes on your behalf, except where required by law.

  12. PAYMENT TERMS AND PAYOUTS

    1. Collection of Funds and Appointment as Agent

      1. Appointment. By using the Platform, you expressly appoint Table Quest as your limited payment collection agent for the sole purpose of receiving payments from Users for Pre-Ordered items on your behalf.
      2. Effect of Payment. Payment by a User to Table Quest (via our integrated Stripe payment system) constitutes full and final settlement of the User’s payment obligation to you for the prepaid portion of their Order. You shall not separately charge the User again for those prepaid items, except as required to issue a tax-compliant receipt or fiscal invoice.
      3. Collection Mechanism. Table Quest, via its designated Stripe account for marketplace transactions, will collect the gross amount of the Pre-Order (including VAT) at the time of booking.

    2. Stripe Connected Account Onboarding

      1. To receive payouts, you may be required to create or link a Stripe Connected Account under Table Quest’s Stripe platform arrangement.
      2. You must provide complete and accurate business details, bank account information, and identity verification documents as required under applicable Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulations.
      3. You are responsible for keeping payout information up to date. Failure to do so may result in delayed or prevented payments.
      4. Stripe Processing Fees. Table Quest will bear standard Stripe processing fees for transactions under this program. However, additional fees incurred due to your actions (e.g., excessive chargebacks, non-compliance with card network rules) may be charged back to you.

    3. Payout Schedule

      1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payouts to you of the amounts collected (less Commission and applicable fees) will be made on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
      2. Payouts may be aggregated over a settlement period and transferred in a single batch. Alternatively, Stripe Connect’s split-payout feature may be used to remit your share immediately or on the next business day after the reservation date.
      3. Timing. Payouts are typically made after the reservation date to account for potential cancellations or refunds that may occur. Funds for future reservations may be held until the reservation is completed.
      4. The specific payout schedule and method will be communicated to you upon onboarding and may be updated from time to time with at least 15 days’ notice (in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1150).

    4. Commission Deduction and Invoicing

      1. Table Quest will normally deduct its Commission and Fixed Order Fee from the User’s payment before remitting the balance to you.
      2. You will receive a statement or invoice detailing:

        1. each completed Order;
        2. the gross amount collected;
        3. the Commission and any applicable VAT; and
        4. the net payout amount.

      3. VAT Treatment. If both Parties are established in Bulgaria, Bulgarian VAT will be applied to the Commission. If you are based in another EU Member State, the reverse charge mechanism may apply under the EU VAT Directive. If you are outside the EU, VAT may not be applicable. All Commission rates quoted are net of VAT.
      4. You agree to receive invoices and statements electronically.

    5. Partner’s Revenue and Tax Responsibility

      1. The amounts you receive from Table Quest represent your gross sales revenue for Pre-Ordered items, inclusive of any VAT you are required to remit.
      2. You are solely responsible for accounting for and paying all applicable taxes, duties, and other governmental charges related to your revenue.
      3. You may be legally required to issue a fiscal receipt or tax invoice to the User for the full amount they paid for the meal, in compliance with local tax law (e.g., Bulgarian fiscal cash register requirements for on-premises service). Table Quest will provide transaction records for reconciliation.

    6. Chargebacks and Disputed Payments

      1. In the event of a chargeback or payment dispute, Table Quest will cooperate with Stripe to investigate the matter.
      2. If the chargeback results from:

        1. cardholder fraud or payment network issues unrelated to your performance, Table Quest will absorb the loss where possible;
        2. your failure to fulfil the Order, cancellation without refund, or legitimate User complaints, you shall reimburse Table Quest for the full chargeback amount.

      3. Such reimbursement may be effected by:

        1. deducting the amount from future payouts; or
        2. issuing you an invoice payable within 10 business days.

      4. Table Quest will notify you promptly of any chargeback and, where appropriate, provide you the opportunity to submit evidence to contest it.
      5. You acknowledge that Table Quest may be required by applicable consumer protection laws or payment network rules to issue refunds in certain circumstances, and such decisions will be binding.

    7. Compliance with Stripe Terms

      1. You agree to comply with the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and any other applicable Stripe terms when receiving payouts.
      2. Your acceptance of Stripe’s terms is a condition for receiving payments, and Table Quest is not a party to your contract with Stripe.

    8. Reserve for Disputes. In cases of unusually high chargeback levels, suspected fraud, or unresolved User disputes, Table Quest may temporarily withhold up to ten percent (10%) of pending payouts for up to sixty (60) days to cover potential liabilities. Any unused reserve shall be released promptly after the resolution period has expired.

  13. CANCELLATION, NO-SHOW, AND REFUND POLICY

    1. Setting and Displaying Your Policy

      1. You may define a specific cancellation and no-show policy applicable to reservations made for your restaurant through the Platform, subject to Table Quest’s prior review and approval, ensuring fairness, transparency, and compliance with applicable consumer protection laws, including Directive 2011/83/EU.
      2. Your approved policy will be displayed to Users at the time of booking and shall prevail over the Default Policy. Table Quest guarantees that no stricter terms will be imposed on the User than those displayed during the booking process.
      3. If you do not provide a custom policy, the Platform Default Policy applies: Users may cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the reservation time. Late cancellations or no-shows result in forfeiture of all prepayments.

    2. Timely Cancellations and Refunds

      1. If a User cancels within the permitted window defined in the applicable policy, the User is entitled to a full refund of their prepayment.
      2. Table Quest will process refunds via Stripe. You will not receive funds for such reservations, and no Commission will be charged.
      3. If you have already received a payout for a booking that was later cancelled under this rule, you agree to return the relevant funds to Table Quest within 5 business days of our request. Failure to do so may result in Table Quest deducting the amount from future payouts.

    3. Late Cancellations and No-Shows by Users

      1. If a User cancels after the permitted window or fails to appear (“No-Show”), you are entitled to retain the full amount of the User’s prepayment, unless you choose, at your sole discretion, to offer a partial refund or rescheduling as a gesture of goodwill.
      2. In such cases, Table Quest will remit the retained amount to you (less Commission and applicable fees).
      3. Any discretionary refund you choose to grant must be processed via Table Quest to ensure accurate Commission calculation.

    4. Restaurant-Initiated Cancellations

      1. If you cancel a confirmed reservation for any reason (including, but not limited to, unavailability, operational issues, or double-booking), you must notify both the User and Table Quest immediately.
      2. The User is entitled to a full refund of any prepayments in such cases.
      3. Repeated or unjustified cancellations may result in reduced search ranking, temporary suspension, or termination of your account. Table Quest reserves the right to impose a reasonable administrative fee for excessive cancellations.

    5. Recording No-Shows

      1. You must promptly mark No-Shows in the Table Host dashboard or notify Table Quest support so that the status is recorded in our system.
      2. This enables Table Quest to enforce our user no-show policy (e.g., warnings or account restrictions).
      3. If a User disputes a No-Show, Table Quest will investigate. You should provide relevant evidence (guest logs, CCTV footage, staff statements).
      4. Table Quest’s determination, based on the evidence, will be final and binding for payout and refund purposes.

    6. Partial Attendance

      1. If fewer guests attend than booked, and Pre-Orders are per person, you may decide whether to refund unused portions, depending on preparation status and costs incurred.
      2. There is no automatic Platform refund for partial attendance; any adjustment is discretionary and must be communicated to Table Quest to process the refund if offered.

    7. Rescheduling as Goodwill

      1. You may allow a User to reschedule a reservation and apply their existing prepayment as a credit for a future date.
      2. Any rescheduling should be coordinated with Table Quest to ensure the change is reflected in the Platform and Commission accounting remains accurate.
      3. No additional Commission is charged on rescheduled bookings, provided they remain linked to the original transaction.

    8. Compliance with Consumer Protection Rules

      1. You acknowledge that certain cancellation rights may be mandatory under EU or national law and cannot be waived by agreement. Table Quest reserves the right to override or adjust a cancellation or refund decision where legally required.

    9. Loyalty and Bonus Programs. Table Quest may operate loyalty or reward programs, allowing Users to collect and redeem points. Partner participation is optional. Where the Partner chooses to participate, specific terms (including revenue allocation, reimbursement, and promotion rules) shall be defined in a separate Loyalty Annex.

  14. PARTNER REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK

    1. Public Nature of Reviews

      1. The Platform enables Users to leave star ratings (1-5) and written reviews regarding their dining experience at your Restaurant.
      2. Reviews are publicly visible on your listing and may influence your reputation and visibility on the Platform.
      3. Table Quest does not alter the substance of a User’s opinion, except where moderation is required under these Partner Terms or applicable law.
      4. You acknowledge that even negative reviews will be published if they comply with our content guidelines.

    2. Content Guidelines and Moderation

      1. Table Quest maintains content guidelines prohibiting defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, fraudulent, irrelevant, or otherwise unlawful content.
      2. All reviews are subject to moderation to ensure compliance with these guidelines and applicable law, including Directive (EU) 2019/2161 on the transparency of consumer reviews.
      3. You may flag a review that you believe is:

        1. not submitted by a genuine customer;
        2. in violation of our content guidelines; or
        3. otherwise unlawful.

      4. Upon receiving a flag, Table Quest will investigate in good faith and decide whether to remove, edit, or retain the review.
      5. A low rating or critical opinion, by itself, is not grounds for removal if it is genuine and compliant with our policies.

    3. Right of Reply

      1. Where permitted by the Platform, you may submit a public response to a review. Such responses must be professional, fact-based, and free from retaliatory or inflammatory language.
      2. If a formal right of reply is provided under applicable national law, Table Quest will facilitate your ability to exercise that right.
      3. In the absence of an in-platform reply feature, you may submit a written statement to Table Quest for consideration in our moderation process or to be appended to the review where technically feasible.

    4. Prohibition of Review Manipulation

      1. You agree not to engage in any form of review manipulation, including but not limited to:

        1. posting reviews for your own Restaurant;
        2. arranging for staff, friends, or family to post biased reviews;
        3. offering incentives, monetary or otherwise, in exchange for positive reviews or the removal of negative reviews;
        4. posting false or misleading reviews about competitors.

      2. Offering compensation or benefits in exchange for altering or removing a review is strictly prohibited.
      3. Table Quest reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account, withhold payouts, and/or impose other sanctions for violations of this clause.

    5. Use of Feedback

      1. You may use feedback to improve your services.
      2. Table Quest may use reviews in aggregate to calculate ratings, display excerpts in promotional materials, or for analytical purposes.
      3. If this Agreement is terminated, reviews from past diners may remain on the Platform as part of the historical record, unless removal is required under applicable law.

      2. Each Party agrees to:

        1. use Confidential Information solely for purposes of performing this Agreement;
        2. not disclose such information to third parties except to employees, agents, or advisors bound by equivalent duties of confidentiality;

        2. was lawfully obtained by the receiving Party independently;

      4. You acknowledge that the commercial terms of this Agreement (including Commission rates) are Confidential Information of Table Quest and must not be disclosed to competitors or the public, except as required for regulatory, financial, or legal compliance with advisors under duties of confidentiality.

  16. DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY

    1. General Principles. Both Parties acknowledge their independent responsibilities under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and applicable national legislation (including the Bulgarian Personal Data Protection Act) in respect of the personal data of Users obtained through the Platform. Each Party shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security commensurate with the risk, and shall process personal data in a lawful, fair, and transparent manner.

    2. Table Quest as Data Controller

      1. Role: Table Quest acts as an independent data controller for the collection and processing of Users’ personal data (e.g., names, contact details, reservation details, payment data) in connection with operating the Platform, managing reservations, and facilitating payments.
      2. Privacy Policy: Such processing is carried out in accordance with Table Quest’s Privacy Policy and is based on the lawful bases of:

        1. performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) with the User;
        2. legitimate interests (Article6(1)(f)GDPR) for platform administration, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution;
        3. legal obligations (Article6(1)(c)GDPR) such as accounting or anti-money laundering requirements.

      3. Data Sharing: Table Quest shall disclose to the Partner only the personal data strictly necessary for the Partner to fulfil the reservation (typically name, contact details, dietary notes, and booking specifics).

    3. Partner as Independent Data Controller

      1. Role: Upon receiving User data from Table Quest, the Partner becomes an independent data controller for that information in the context of providing the dining service.
      2. Obligations: The Partner shall:

        1. process User data solely for the purposes of fulfilling the reservation and providing services to the User;
        2. not use the data for any direct marketing or unrelated purposes unless the User has provided explicit consent in accordance with GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC);
        3. restrict access to User data to staff who require it for operational reasons, and ensure such staff are bound by confidentiality;
        4. maintain adequate data security, including secure storage of any printed reservation lists and safe disposal after use;
        5. establish appropriate retention periods, ensuring that personal data is not kept longer than necessary (Article 5(1)(e) GDPR).

      3. User Rights: If a User exercises a right under GDPR (e.g., access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection), and the request concerns data held by the Partner, the Partner must respond in compliance with GDPR and, where relevant, inform Table Quest without undue delay.

    4. Data Breaches. In the event of a personal data breach affecting Table Quest Users’ data in the Partner’s custody:

      1. the Partner shall notify Table Quest without undue delay (and no later than 48 hours after becoming aware of the breach), providing all details reasonably required to enable compliance with Articles 33–34 GDPR;
      2. the Partner shall fully cooperate with Table Quest in investigating, mitigating, and (if necessary) notifying the supervisory authority and affected individuals.

    5. User Communication and Marketing

      1. Table Quest will handle reservation confirmations, reminders, and related transactional communications.
      2. The Partner may contact Users only for legitimate service-related reasons (e.g., to clarify reservation details).
      3. The Partner shall not enroll Users into mailing lists, SMS campaigns, or loyalty programs without obtaining valid, GDPR-compliant consent. Any consent obtained must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, and must be documented.

    6. Cooperation and Allocation of Roles

      1. Each Party is an independent controller for its respective processing. Nothing in this Agreement establishes a joint controllership or processor relationship.
      2. Each Party shall maintain and publish its own privacy notice in compliance with Articles 13–14 GDPR, covering its respective processing activities.
      3. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to enable each other’s compliance with GDPR, including by sharing relevant information for data protection impact assessments or regulatory inquiries, to the extent the information relates to the integration between the Platform and the Partner’s services.

  17. TAXES AND INVOICES

    1. Partner’s Tax Obligations

      1. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the assessment, collection, reporting, and remittance of all taxes arising from the sale of your goods and services to Users. This includes, without limitation:

        1. Value Added Tax (VAT);
        2. sales taxes, local levies, and hospitality taxes (if applicable);
        3. corporate income tax or other direct taxes on your business income; and
        4. any other governmental fees or charges imposed in connection with your operations.

      2. You must ensure that all prices listed on the Platform are final consumer prices, inclusive of all applicable VAT and mandatory taxes, in compliance with Directive 2006/112/EC (EU VAT Directive) and relevant national laws.
      3. If you are VAT-registered, you shall account for VAT on the full gross sale price to the User and issue a valid fiscal receipt or VAT invoice to the User at the time of service, in accordance with local legislation (e.g., under the Bulgarian Value Added Tax Act).
      4. Table Quest does not act as your tax agent and shall not remit, account for, or otherwise assume liability for your business taxes, except to the limited extent required by mandatory law (e.g., withholding obligations in cross-border payments, if applicable).

    2. Commission and VAT on Table Quest Fees

      1. Table Quest’s commission constitutes a business-to-business (B2B) service rendered by Viditrack EOOD (Bulgaria) to you.
      2. The VAT treatment of our commission invoices depends on your location:

        1. If you are established in Bulgaria: Table Quest will add Bulgarian VAT (20%) to its invoices for commissions and fees.
        2. If you are established in another EU Member State: the reverse charge mechanism (Article 196 of Directive 2006/112/EC) will typically apply. You must provide a valid EU VAT number, and you will self-account for VAT in your Member State.
        3. If you are established outside the EU: Table Quest will not add EU VAT, subject to applicable international tax rules.

      3. You must provide Table Quest with accurate and up-to-date VAT registration details (including, where relevant, a valid VIES-verifiable VAT number). Incorrect or missing details may result in misapplied VAT charges, for which you remain liable.
      4. Table Quest reserves the right to adjust invoicing practices if tax laws change (e.g., introduction of Digital Services Taxes or amendments to EU VAT rules) and shall notify you accordingly.

    3. Receipts and Invoices to Users

      1. You remain solely responsible for issuing any receipts, invoices, or fiscal documents to Users as required by local law.
      2. For example, in Bulgaria, all on-premises consumption must be accompanied by a fiscal receipt issued through a registered cash register, even if the meal was prepaid online. In such cases, you must record the sale in compliance with local tax requirements, marking it as “paid online” or “prepaid” as appropriate.
      3. Table Quest’s booking confirmation emails and payment receipts are not fiscal receipts and shall not substitute for your statutory obligations.

    4. Withholding Taxes

      1. Payments from you to Table Quest are treated as cross-border B2B service fees. Generally, no withholding taxes should apply within the EU under the EU Interest and Royalties Directive and Parent-Subsidiary Directive, as well as under double tax treaties where applicable.
      2. However, if any law in your jurisdiction requires you to withhold taxes from payments due to Table Quest:
        1. you must promptly notify us in writing;
        2. you must provide supporting legal references and tax certificates;
        3. both Parties shall cooperate in good faith to apply treaty relief, exemptions, or credits to minimize or eliminate withholding.

      3. If withholding cannot be avoided, payments due to Table Quest shall be grossed-up so that Table Quest receives the full amount of its invoiced fees, net of any taxes withheld.

  18. LIABILITY OF PARTIES

    1. Partner’s Liability to Users and Third Parties

      1. Primary Liability. As the provider of the dining services, you bear exclusive responsibility for the quality, safety, and legality of the food, beverages, and overall service delivered to Users. This includes full liability for:

        2. allergic reactions, including failure to disclose allergens as required under Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 and local law;
        3. accidents, injuries, or property damage occurring on your premises;
        4. compliance with applicable laws, permits, and licenses (e.g., health codes, fire safety, liquor laws).

      2. Insurance. You represent and warrant that you maintain, and shall maintain throughout the term of this Agreement, adequate commercial general liability insurance (including food and liquor liability where applicable) with coverage levels consistent with industry standards, and that such insurance covers claims by Users and third parties.
      3. Indemnity to Table Quest. You shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Table Quest, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, damages, fines, penalties, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with:

        1. the food, beverages, or services you provided to Users;
        2. your violation of any law, regulation, or industry standard;
        3. your breach of these Partner Terms;
        4. any claim alleging that content you supplied (photos, menus, branding) infringes third-party intellectual property.

      4. Table Quest shall promptly notify you of any such claim and may, at its discretion, allow you to assume the defense with qualified counsel. If you fail to provide satisfactory assurance of defense and coverage, Table Quest may defend itself and recover all costs from you.

      1. Standard of Care. Table Quest shall provide the Platform Services with reasonable skill and care, consistent with generally accepted practices for online marketplace operators in the EU.
      2. Exclusions of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Table Quest shall not be liable for:

        1. loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, or business opportunities;
        2. indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages;
        3. no-shows or cancellations by Users (your remedy being retention of applicable no-show fees);
        4. fraudulent or abusive reservations (except to the extent caused by our gross negligence);
        5. any malfunction, downtime, or data error of the Platform, unless caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct.
        6. However, Table Quest shall remain liable for direct losses arising from its gross negligence or willful misconduct in the areas of payment processing, protection and security of personal data, or misrepresentation of the Platform’s core functionality.

      3. Liability Cap. Table Quest’s aggregate liability to you for any claim arising under or in connection with these Partner Terms shall be limited to the greater of:

        1. the total Commission fees actually paid by you to Table Quest in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to liability; or EUR 5,000.
        2. This cap shall not apply in cases of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breaches of data protection obligations under GDPR.

    3. Table Quest’s Liability to Users. Table Quest’s contractual liability to Users is defined in its User Terms and is limited by extensive disclaimers. If any claim is brought against Table Quest by a User or third party arising from your acts, omissions, or breaches, you shall indemnify Table Quest in accordance with Section 12.1(c). Conversely, if a claim arises directly from Table Quest’s own negligence (e.g., mishandling of payments), Table Quest shall remain liable.

    4. No Warranties. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Platform and related services are provided “as is” and “as available”. Table Quest expressly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. You acknowledge that digital platforms inherently carry risks of downtime, errors, and security incidents.

    5. Non-Excludable Liabilities. Nothing in these Partner Terms shall exclude or limit liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful, including liability for:

      1. death or personal injury caused by negligence;
      2. gross negligence or willful misconduct;
      3. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
      4. any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

      1. return or destroy any Table Quest property, confidential information, or equipment provided (e.g., tablets, QR code stands, marketing materials);
