Our Services include, but are not limited to, our websites, including https://www.nuvioo.com (our “Websites”); the Nuvioo mobile application and related websites and services (“Nuvioo App” or “App”); any digital ordering feature that Nuvioo offers to Merchants, including a Merchant’s Online Ordering page and Order & Pay at the Table features (collectively “Digital Ordering”); and Payment Transactions facilitated on the Nuvioo point of sale or via Nuvioo’s scan to pay feature (“Point of Sale”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall be as defined in the Merchant Agreement.
By accessing and/or using any of the Services, you agree to these Terms and any other policies or terms referenced within or posted throughout the Services, including but not limited to promotion terms, guidelines, as well as any rules or terms applicable to particular features or promotions, which are hereby expressly incorporated into these Terms by reference. You also acknowledge that you have read and understand our privacy statement (the “Privacy Statement”).
FROM TIME TO TIME, WE MAY UPDATE OR MODIFY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE IN OUR DISCRETION AND WILL POST THE UPDATED TERMS TO https://pos.nuvioo.com/terms-of-service. SUCH UPDATES MAY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO REFLECT ENHANCEMENTS TO OUR SERVICES OR OUR WEBSITE. IF OUR CHANGES REDUCE YOUR RIGHTS OR INCREASE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES, WE WILL USE COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE BY EMAIL OR THROUGH THE NUVIOO APP IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY NOTIFICATION PREFERENCES YOU HAVE PROVIDED. THE UPDATED TERMS OF SERVICE WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE INDICATED IN THE TERMS OF SERVICE (“EFFECTIVE DATE”). ANY USE OF THE SERVICES AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE MEANS YOU HAVE ACCEPTED THE UPDATED TERMS. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE EVENT YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATED TERMS OF SERVICE IS TO CEASE YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES AND OUR WEBSITE.
These Terms include an agreement to resolve disputes by arbitration, which means that you and Nuvioo waive the right to a trial by jury and agree to resolve any and all disputes through binding arbitration on an individual basis.
If you are an individual, you must be at least 18 years of age, a U.S. or Canadian resident, and legally capable of entering into contracts. If you are an entity, organization, or company, or acting on behalf of one, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of such entity and that you have the authority to and agree to bind it to these Terms. You represent that you will not use the Services, directly or indirectly, for any fraudulent undertakings. When you pay for a Purchase made through Point of Sale, the Nuvioo App, or Digital Ordering, you authorize Nuvioo to charge your credit or debit card or other permitted payment method (“Payment Method”) on behalf of the participating Merchant from which you are making a purchase.
1. Services
Nuvioo provides technology services to Merchants to enable dining customers (“Guests”) to place orders for food, beverages, and related products and services provided by the Merchants (“Purchases”) and facilitates payment to the Merchants by the Guests for those purchases with an eligible Payment Method (“Payment Transactions”). Nuvioo facilitates Purchases with Merchants and processes Guests’ payments to Merchants, on behalf of each Merchant.
1.1 Opening and Accessing a Nuvioo Digital Ordering Account
When you use Nuvioo’s Digital Ordering services on a Merchant website or premises, you can choose whether you would like to register and create a Nuvioo Digital Ordering Account (hereinafter “Nuvioo account” or “account”). If you create an account, you may save your credit or debit card and other personal information to make future orders faster and easier. You may make Purchases without creating an account, but you will not be able to save any personal information or preferences for future Purchases. In order to use the Nuvioo App, you must download the app to your mobile device and create a Nuvioo account. If you use the same email address for Digital Ordering, the Nuvioo App, and/or any Merchant loyalty programs, you will be registered for one account across those services.
When you create an account, we will ask you for certain personal information such as your name, mobile number, and email address, which will be stored with Nuvioo to facilitate your transactions. You may also choose at any time to store Payment Method information, which can be used to pay for future Purchases. Information on how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide to us can be found in our Privacy Statement. You agree to provide true, accurate current and complete information for your account registration, and you agree not to misrepresent your identity or your Payment Method information. It is your responsibility to keep the information you provide us up-to-date and accurate.
Nuvioo may, in its sole discretion, terminate or refuse to approve registrations for Nuvioo Digital Ordering Accounts with or without cause or notice, other than any notice required by Applicable Law and Rules. At this time, Nuvioo Services are offered only to users residing in the United States and Canada.
1.2 Confidentiality
Only you have the right to access and use your account. You are responsible for ensuring that your login information and Payment Method information remain confidential at all times. Nuvioo will assume that if your login or Payment Method are used to access the Services, the user has the legal authority to use such login or Payment Method. If you become aware of unauthorized use of your login or Payment Method, you agree to notify Nuvioo immediately by email at help@nuvioo.com. You remain liable for any activity on your account until such time as Nuvioo has been notified and has had an opportunity to take appropriate action.
1.3 Nuvioo is not a Party to Payment Transactions
Purchases and Payment Transactions you make through our Services are transactions between you and the Merchant only, not with Nuvioo or any of our affiliates. Nuvioo is not the seller of any product or service offered by Merchants and is not a party to any Payment Transaction facilitated through the Services.
1.4 Using your Account
Once you have created your account, you will be able to make Purchases from Merchants through the Digital Ordering features and the Nuvioo App. You can make changes to your account information by logging in on any Online Ordering page or within the App. You will also be able to view your recent Purchase and Payment Transaction history by logging in to your account.
You acknowledge and agree that all aspects of Purchases beyond the services that Nuvioo provides, as well as all engagement and interactions between the Merchant and you, are solely the responsibility of the Merchant.
1.4.1 Digital Ordering
Digital Ordering features, including Online Ordering pages and Order & Pay at the Table, allow you to make Purchases from a participating Merchant using your own computer or mobile device. You can also manage your Nuvioo account from any Online Ordering page by logging in. You can see your order history from that Merchant while you are logged in.
Some Digital Ordering features may allow you to place multiple orders as part of one Purchase. When you open a check, you may be required to provide payment information prior to completing your Purchase. By providing your payment information for pre-authorization, you agree to pay the total amount shown when you submit the final portion of your order. If you fail to complete payment for your Purchase, the Merchant may be able to charge your payment method after a certain amount of time has passed.
1.4.2 Nuvioo App
The Nuvioo App is a mobile application that enables you to make Purchases from participating Merchants for pickup and/or delivery. If your workplace offers a Nuvioo Drop location, you can make Purchases for delivery to your available Drop location via the Nuvioo app. You can manage your Nuvioo account by logging in, and can review your Purchase history within the app.
If you access or download the Nuvioo App from the Apple App Store, you agree to Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
To use the Nuvioo App, you must have a mobile device that is compatible with the App. Nuvioo does not warrant that the App will be compatible with your mobile device. You may use mobile data in connection with the App and incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these services. You agree that you are solely responsible for such charges. Nuvioo hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for one Digital Ordering Account on a mobile device owned or leased by you, for your personal use.
1.4.3 Loyalty and Rewards
Nuvioo provides technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty and/or rewards programs to Guests. By enrolling in any loyalty program offered by Nuvioo or by a Merchant using Nuvioo’s technology services, you expressly agree to these program terms.
You may enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program by signing up at the Merchant or while placing an order, subject to the Merchant’s terms and conditions related to its loyalty program. Once you have enrolled, you may earn points when you make Purchases from Merchants, which can later be redeemed for discounts or other benefits. If you initiate a return, chargeback, or refund, points associated with the Purchase may be revoked. You may check your current rewards balance by clicking the link you receive when you sign up for a Merchant’s loyalty program.
If you choose to enroll in a Merchant’s loyalty program, you agree that the Merchant may contact you using the contact method(s) you provide with program information, offers, and other marketing and transactional communications. Any information shared by Nuvioo with Merchants is subject to our Privacy Statement. Once a Merchant has received information you provide from Nuvioo, the use and governance of that information will be managed by the Merchant, which may have separate privacy practices and policies. Nuvioo does not authorize Merchants to send marketing messages to your mobile number. Merchants may not send marketing messages to your mobile number unless you expressly authorize the Merchant to send you such messages.
Each Merchant is solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of its own loyalty program, including establishing the number of points that you may earn when you make Purchases, setting redemption thresholds, and determining how and when points may be redeemed for rewards. Merchants have the ability to modify their loyalty programs and/or to modify the points balance held by any individual Guest. Nuvioo is not responsible for notifying you in the event that the Merchant changes any element of its loyalty program or ceases to offer a loyalty program. The Merchant is solely responsible for communicating program or points balance changes to you.
Points earned through any loyalty program offered by Nuvioo or a Merchant using Nuvioo have no cash value and cannot be transferred, redeemed, or sold for cash. Subject to notice requirements under Applicable Law and Rules, Nuvioo reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at any time, to modify, suspend, terminate, revalue or cancel its own loyalty program and/or the technology services that enable Merchants to offer loyalty programs through Nuvioo. In the event Nuvioo terminates any loyalty program offered by Nuvioo or by a Merchant, Nuvioo will, in accordance with the Applicable Law and Rules, maintain records of Guest’s loyalty points for one year following termination of the loyalty program in the event the loyalty program is reinstated within one year of termination. Nuvioo reserves the right to adjudicate any discrepancies or disputes regarding rewards allocations or these program terms in its sole discretion and you agree to abide by any such adjudication.
1.5 Responsibilities of Merchants
It is recognized and accepted by you that the entirety of daily operations, including food and beverage provision (via any method, including delivery), service, environment, and the overall quality and accuracy, are solely within the jurisdiction of each Merchant.
1.5.1 Adherence to Regulations
It is recognized and accepted by you that every Merchant holds exclusive responsibility and liability for the marketing, selling, pricing, packaging, and provision of any products or services offered to Guests via the Services. They are obligated to comply with all Applicable Law and Rules. Nuvioo provides no guarantees or warranties concerning the possession of any required permits, licenses, registrations, or other credentials by a Merchant; the truthfulness and accuracy of a Merchant's representations; or the compliance of a Merchant with Applicable Law and Rules. Nuvioo is not accountable for the quality of products or services rendered by Merchants.
1.5.2 Alcoholic Beverages
Some Merchants may possess licenses for selling alcoholic beverages. The Merchant with such a license must confirm your Purchase before it can be completed. Your Payment Method will only be charged once the order is accepted by the Merchant. The part of the funds debited from your Payment Method related to your alcoholic beverage Purchase may be kept in an account to benefit the alcoholic beverage supplier, in compliance with Applicable Law and Rules. As a third-party technology provider, Nuvioo facilitates payment processing on behalf of the Merchant, without holding any responsibility or liability for any alcoholic beverages you may buy from a Merchant or for any Merchant's compliance with Applicable Law and Rules, including but not limited to, local alcohol sale regulations. If you make a Purchase for alcoholic beverage products through the Services, you confirm and pledge that (i) if you are a U.S. consumer intending to consume alcoholic beverages in the U.S., you are at least twenty-one (21) years old and, if you are a Canadian consumer intending to consume alcoholic beverages in Ontario and British Columbia, you are at least nineteen (19) years old, (ii) you are not buying alcoholic beverage products for anyone under twenty-one (21) years of age in the U.S. or under nineteen (19) years of age in Ontario or British Columbia and, (iii) you will provide valid government-issued photo identification proving your age.
1.6 Account Closure
At any time and without any cost, you may close your Nuvioo account. However, you are still liable for any unsettled Purchases and any incurred fees or other charges. Once you close your account, Nuvioo will not issue refunds for amounts previously spent using our Services.
To close their accounts, Guests can email help@nuvioo.com. For additional information about our practices concerning your personal data, please review our Privacy Statement.
We may prevent you from closing your account in certain circumstances, such as: to avoid an investigation; you have ongoing or pending Purchases or Payment Transactions; or if you have debts owed to Nuvioo or a Merchant due to your usage of the Services.
2. Data Privacy and Security
Your personal information's privacy and security are significant to us. Nuvioo's Privacy Statement illustrates what information we collect about you, how we may use personal information, and the security measures we have implemented to protect your personal information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Statement meticulously, as it forms an integral part of these Terms of Service and contains vital information about your rights.
3. Purchases
Nuvioo facilitates the Services and processes Payment Transactions for Purchases on behalf of Merchants either directly or through a third-party service provider, acting as the agent for the Merchants through the payment networks. When you make a Purchase, you authorize Nuvioo, as the agent for the Merchant, to charge the amount of the Purchase (including any gratuities, fees, and taxes) to your Payment Method and manage any credits in connection with chargebacks, reversals, refunds, or adjustments. Nuvioo assists the Merchant in submitting the Payment Transaction to the payment network and processing the Payment Transaction. Upon Nuvioo receiving the proceeds of the transaction, your payment obligation to the Merchant is considered fulfilled (except in cases of later chargebacks or reversals).
You are required to provide a valid Payment Method to pay for your Purchases made through any of the Services. You authorize Nuvioo to confirm your Payment Method's good standing with the issuing financial institution. In order to do so, Nuvioo may secure an authorization to charge your Payment Method for a Payment Transaction. This authorization may reduce your available funds balance by the authorization amount until the Payment Transaction is actually charged to your Payment Method and the proceeds are processed and settled. For any questions regarding the status of an authorization or a charge to your Payment Method, please contact your Payment Method issuer. You agree that Nuvioo, on behalf of the Merchant, may resubmit a Payment Transaction for processing to a payment network if a prior Payment Transaction was declined or returned.
If you choose to store your Payment Method information with Nuvioo via any of the Services for future transactions, you agree that Nuvioo may receive up-to-date information on your Payment Method (such as card number or expiration date) through services available from the card networks and may update your stored Payment Method credentials from time to time.
We may establish restrictions concerning the use of the Services, including individual or aggregate transaction limits on the dollar amount or number of Payment Transactions you may make within certain time periods. We may decline to process any Payment Transaction without any notice to you. We may delay, hold, or cancel processing of any Payment Transaction upon the direction of the Merchant or if we believe that the transaction is invalid, suspicious, involves misconduct or fraud, or otherwise violates Applicable Law and Rules, these Terms of Service, or any other policies.
Payments made through the Services are also subject to the terms of your agreement with your Payment Method issuer. You are solely responsible for any charges or fees that your Payment Method issuer may impose as a result of using the Services.
4. Permitted Activities

Any fees applicable to a Purchase or Payment Transaction you make will be clearly disclosed before the completion of your Purchase.

By making a Purchase through the Services, you agree to pay all such charges, including gratuities, fees, and taxes. All amounts to be charged to your Payment Method associated with your Purchase will be displayed before you complete your Purchase.
6. Order Changes, Cancellations, Refunds, and Customer Service

For questions or customer service regarding a Purchase or the product or service provided by a Merchant, please contact the Merchant directly. For the Nuvioo app, each Merchant’s contact information for customer service is available on its app listing.

14. Arbitration
14.1. Agreement to Arbitrate
This Section 14 is referred to as the Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Nuvioo, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or in connection with your use of the Services, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, you and Nuvioo are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Arbitration Agreement shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate, provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement.
14.2. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief
You and Nuvioo agree that each may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Nuvioo agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s).
14.3. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
Most concerns can be resolved quickly and to all parties’ satisfaction by emailing Nuvioo’s Customer Care team at support@nuvioo.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Nuvioo should be sent to Nuvioo at [Nuvioo's address], Attn: General Counsel. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Nuvioo do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Nuvioo may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Nuvioo or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Nuvioo is entitled.
14.4. Arbitration Procedures
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under these Terms of Service and Applicable Law and Rules. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. Unless you and Nuvioo agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by the AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Nuvioo agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
14.5. Costs of Arbitration
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
14.6. Confidentiality
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
14.7. Severability
If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Sub-Section 14.1 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Sub-Section 14.1 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of these Terms will continue to apply.
15. Survival
Upon termination of your use of the Service or these Terms for any reason, in addition to this section, the following sections shall survive termination: Section 1.7 (Merchant Responsibilities), 5 (Fees), 8 (Disclaimer of Warranties, Waiver and Limitation of Liability), 10 (Indemnification), 11 (Ownership of Content, Use of Trademarks), 12 (Termination), 14 (Arbitration), 17 (Governing Law), and 18 (Miscellaneous).
16. Assignment
You are not permitted to transfer or assign these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under them, either by law or otherwise, without our prior written approval. Any attempt to do so without our consent may be deemed null and void. However, Nuvioo retains the right to freely transfer or assign these Terms, along with the rights and obligations under them, to any third party without the need for notice or consent. Subject to the foregoing conditions, these Terms are binding and will benefit both the involved parties, their successors, and those allowed to receive assigned rights.
17. Governing Law
Any action, claim, or dispute related to these Terms of Service will be subject to and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions, and by controlling U.S. federal law. Neither the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will apply to these Terms of Service.
18. Miscellaneous
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, the invalidity of that provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which will continue in full force and effect. Nuvioo's failure to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms will not be interpreted as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in these Terms. No waiver will be considered valid against Nuvioo unless it is in writing, and no such written waiver will be construed as a waiver in any other or future instance. Except as expressly agreed upon by Nuvioo and you, these Terms, including any Nuvioo policies related to the Services mentioned herein, make up the entire agreement between you and Nuvioo concerning the subject matter, and supersede all prior or concurrent agreements, whether written or oral, between you and Nuvioo regarding the same subject matter. The section headings are provided simply for convenience and carry no legal significance.
