Terms and Conditions 

Reviews 

Reviews exist in two types: Verified and Unverified reviews. Verified reviews are reviews you make after having made a booking and being confirmed as a guest. (48 hours after the meal). These reviews count towards your membership level with reward points. Unverified reviews are reviews you can always write about a restaurant even without having booked. 

Content: Content should be clear and factual. We recommend you to focus on the food quality, service, atmosphere / environment and the value of your dining experience. Please refrain from posting links to other websites or promotions on other sites in your reviews. We want to keep the reviews as clean and clear as possible. Please also keep the review on-topic. 

Removal guidelines: Reviews may be screened and removed if the review is a repost (sometimes we get multiple reposts of the same review), clearly written by staff of the restaurant, non-descript or vague, or abusive. We also don’t condone profanity in reviews. If you have a complaint the restaurant may reply to your review or may contact you if you have booked through the reservation system. DiningCity retains the final decision in interpretation and evaluation of review content. 

Support & Complaints 

If there is something you need help with, doesn’t work properly, something went wrong during a reservation, or you’re not sure how to do something then please contact us. We rely on your feedback to help improve our services. You can reach us on info@diningcity.asia or 021-31076100 or support-hk@diningcity.asia (Hong Kong) or +852 2598 5655 (Hong Kong). 

Restaurants we work with are of good standing, possess the correct qualifications and licenses and provide the service and experience they are capable of. If something does go wrong we can mediate between the restaurant and yourself and try to help provide a satisfactory outcome if the booking was made through DiningCity or any of our events. 

Pictures 

By uploading images to DiningCity through its website or app you confirm that the images uploaded are your own and free other copyrights. You also agree to provide DiningCity with a license to use the image on its website or on its affiliated domains and DiningCity’s marketing campaigns and events. 

Pictures should be non-offensive in nature and focus on the dining experience you had. Uploading violent, pornographic, or non-compliant images according to the guidelines of the country being hosted in may result in your account being suspended. 

Liability & Conduct 

DiningCity as an online dining guide, reservation service and dining event organizer is not responsible for anything that might occur in the restaurant itself. (As a website we can’t control the cook or the waitress…). We can however contact the restaurant on your behalf if an incident has occurred and try to help you find a viable outcome. 

DiningCity does not tolerate abusive behavior of customers towards the restaurant or our own staff. We provide the service and support we can. We expect our customers to be equally professional and reasonable. Abuse will result in being blacklisted from our events, and threats will be reported to the relevant authorities.  

Fair Use Policy 

DiningCity's reservation service and events are designed to make dining out and trying more restaurants easier. However reservations made on the platform should be considered fair and reasonable in quantity and time. Users that make more than 10 reservations during a single dining event and have a Cancellation and No-show combined rate above 65% during the event are subject to the "fair use policy". The below behaviors are considered to be "seat squatting" meaning they are occupying seats and thereby blocking seats to be able to booked by other users. 
 
● Make more than 2 pending reservations with the same menu 
● Make a lot of bookings with high seat numbers at the beginning of the event and fails to complete the bookings 
● Very many reservations within a very short period of dining 
● Other types of booking behavior that makes it highly improbable that the reservations will be actually completed 
● Selling the reservation(s) 
● Transfer booking for special purpose 

This type of behavior through DiningCity's services is considered against fair use and will result in accounts being blocked and reservations made being cancelled. Users will be contacted via phone / email and warned beforehand that their account is at risk based on their booking history. This will be evaluated on a case by case basis and in relation to how extreme their booking / cancellation / no-show behavior is compared to the average number of bookings per user.

DiningCity holds the final right to interpretation, explanation, and implementation of these policies. Policies are subject to change without prior notification.
