Terms of Use

Last updated: September 16, 2026

Welcome to PDX Food Week! These Terms of Use are a simple agreement between us. By using this website, you agree to follow these basic rules. If you don't agree with them, please don't use this app.

1. The Details (Scraped Data & Accuracy)

Our app gathers details like restaurant names, dishes, addresses, prices, and photos from public listings—specifically The Actual Portland, The Oregonian, and EverOut—so you can browse and plan across all 12 themed food weeks in one place.

Important Foodie Warning: We show all event details on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. While we do our absolute best to keep things accurate and up-to-date, we cannot guarantee it's perfect.

Restaurants sometimes run out of food early, change their prices, close unexpectedly, or leave the event. We highly recommend checking directly with the restaurant or the official event pages before you head out so you don't end up disappointed!

2. Who We Are (No Official Connection)

We are independent local developers and fans of Portland's food scene. This website is a fan-made community project and is not officially connected to, sponsored by, or affiliated with:

The official organizers of Portland Burger Week, Pizza Week, Taco Week, Nacho Week, Dumpling Week, Wing Week, Fried Chicken Week, Highball Week, Sandwich Week, Wiener Week, Salad Week, Slushie Week, or any other food week events.
The publications hosting the event lists (like The Portland Mercury, The Oregonian, EverOut, or Index Newspapers).
Any of the individual restaurants featured in the app.

All brand names, logos, and images belong to their respective owners.

3. Playing Nice (Accounts, Sync & Sharing Guidelines)

We provide optional user accounts (email/password, email link, Google Sign-In), cloud synchronization, and "Magic Link" sharing features (powered by Google Firebase) so you can keep track of spots and compare with friends. By using these features, you promise:

Not to spam, flood, scrape, or attempt to compromise our database or backend services.
Not to use the optional nickname or list sharing inputs to write offensive, hateful, or inappropriate content.
Not to attempt to access, tamper with, or delete another user's authenticated account or shared list.
To keep your account credentials secure if you choose to sign in.

If anyone breaks these rules, we reserve the right to delete accounts, remove shared lists, reset nicknames, or block access to the app.

4. Responsibility & Crawl Planning (Don't Sue Us)

We built this app for fun and as a gift to the community. We are not responsible for any issues that arise from using it. This means we aren't liable for things like travel costs, gas money, disappointed stomachs, or incorrect menu information.

Routing & Navigation: If you use the crawl planning mode or "Use location" distance calculations, please note that GPS accuracy and navigation directions depend entirely on your device, browser, and third-party map providers. We are not responsible for route delays, transit disruptions, or if you get lost trying to find a restaurant.

Alcohol & Age Requirements: We support food weeks that feature alcoholic beverages (like Highball Week and Slushie Week). You must be of legal drinking age in your jurisdiction to purchase and consume alcoholic beverages. We encourage you to consume responsibly and never drink and drive. We do not promote underage drinking or overconsumption.

Allergies & Dietary Restrictions: While we try to tag dishes accurately (e.g. Vegan, Gluten-Free), menus change and kitchen cross-contamination is a risk. You are solely responsible for verifying ingredients and communicating food allergies directly with the restaurant.

5. Oregon Law

These terms, and any issues relating to this website, will be governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, United States.

6. Changes to These Terms

We might tweak these rules as the app evolves. If we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. Using the site after we update the terms means you agree to the new ones.
