payment terms
You can use the Services to purchase food and drink at participating bars and restaurants. When you provide your Tabbed Account ID to the participating restaurant, you are deemed to have accepted the Service provided by Tabbed and agree to pay the corresponding fees or charges.
When your bill is closed, by the restaurant, Tabbed will charge your preferred payment method (the “Stored Card”) the value of the total amount payable by you for your food and beverage (plus any additional fees as described below).
Your Stored Card will only be charged for the value of the food and beverage services (or your portion thereof). When paid by you, these payments are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by Tabbed. In the event of a check totaling less than $1, we implement an automatic gratuity charge to ensure restaurant staff is compensated at least $1.
You may pre-set a preferred gratuity amount in your Tabbed Account, or you may manually select a gratuity amount once the bill has been started.
Additionally, Tabbed charges restaurant customer users (“Customers”) a fee each time the Service is used (“Service Fee”). The current fee is 2 % of the total bill per transaction.
Tabbed reserves the right to change the Service Fee from time to time, with reasonable prior notice to you in writing.
If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated card details. We may use these new details or details from other cards on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your use of the Services. This includes our right to charge any card on file if your initial form of preferred payment fails. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date.
Tabbed, in its sole discretion, may offer credits or refunds on a case-by-case basis including, by way of example, in the event of an error with your order or in the amounts you were charged.
If you have any questions or concerns with any charge to your Stored Card, please email us at contact@tabbedinc.com.

Disputes
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of this Services, or to any products or services sold or distributed by us, if any, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must submit an arbitration request, including a description of your claim, to contactus@tabbedinc.com. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
You also agree that we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of our intellectual property rights.
assignment
We may assign these Terms of Use at any time, including, without limitation, to any parent, subsidiary, or any affiliated entity, or as part of the sale to, merger with, or other transfer of our association to another entity. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense these Terms of Use to anyone else and any attempt to do so in violation of this section shall be null and void.
governing law and venue
These Terms of Use shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed there, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, and where applicable, the laws of the United States. Subject to the arbitration provisions noted above, you agree that the state and federal courts located in Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive venue for any legal action or proceeding between Tabbed and you for any purpose concerning these Terms of Use. You waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. Any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to these Terms of Use must be commenced within one (1) year after it arises, except to the extent such limitation is not enforceable.
miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and these Terms of Use will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such provision had never been contained herein. Any headings or titles herein are for convenience only.

If you are a California resident, in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code §1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
