These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are an agreement between Vintage Geek Design LLC, a Texas limited liability company, doing business as cateringleads.ai and PartnerPlate (“Vintage Geek Design,” “we,” “us,” “our”), and the business that opens an account (“you,” “your,” the “client”). Vintage Geek Design LLC is the contracting party behind every name the service is offered under. By creating an account or subscribing, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.
The service is offered to two kinds of business, and these Terms apply the same way to both:
Throughout these Terms, “your business” means the single business on your account, and “outreach” means the email outreach we research, draft, and send on that business's behalf. Where these Terms refer to catering, menus, or food service, they apply equally to events, venue rentals, packages, and group bookings for a venue client, and the reverse. A term written for one vertical is never a gap in coverage for the other.
The service is a software platform for catering businesses and event venues. It provides prospect research, seasonal timing, email drafting, sending tools, delivery and reply tracking, and a dashboard to manage it all. We identify prospect businesses likely to need what your business sells — catering and food service for a catering client, events, parties, and group bookings for a venue client — select them by seasonal demand windows, and draft personalized outreach emails for your approval.
We are the platform. You are the sender. Outreach goes out under your business name, from your sending identity, after you approve it. We provide the software and sending infrastructure and act on your behalf; you remain the marketing sender of every message. See Section 5.
The free sample. A free account receives one batch of five prospects, one time, for the life of the account — not five per month. Free prospects show the business name and the seasonal reason we selected it. Contact details (names, email addresses, phone numbers) are withheld until you subscribe. No emails are written or sent on a free account.
Free accounts are provided as a courtesy. A free account is offered as is, without any commitment of availability, support, response time, or data retention, and carries no obligation on our part beyond honoring opt-outs and this agreement's privacy commitments. We may change, limit, suspend, or discontinue the free tier — in whole, or for any individual account — at any time and without notice or refund, since nothing has been paid. Nothing in a free account is a trial of, or a promise of, any paid feature.
What we do not promise. We provide research, drafting, and sending tools. We do not guarantee replies, open rates, bookings, sales, revenue, customer acquisition, or any particular business outcome. See Section 9.
An account may be opened only by a catering or food-service business, by an event venue or event-services business, or by a person authorized to act for one. You agree to provide accurate business information at signup — including which kind of business you are, since it determines the prospects we research and the outreach we draft — and to keep it current. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for everything done through your account. One account per business. You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.
The Starter plan is $97 per month, billed monthly in advance through Stripe. Applicable sales tax is added at checkout, calculated by Stripe from the billing address you provide and shown before you pay; the tax is collected and remitted by Stripe. The subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe and are never stored on our servers; we keep only the Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, the subscription status, and the date and version of these Terms you accepted at checkout.
Failed payments. If a payment fails, your plan drops to the free tier and your outreach campaign is paused immediately — on the first failure, without a grace period. Restoring payment through the billing portal restores the plan. Prospects and drafts already delivered remain in your dashboard.
Price changes. We may change the subscription price with advance notice by email. A price change takes effect at your next renewal after the notice, and you may cancel before it applies.
Subscription fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable except where required by law. You may cancel at any time. Cancellation stops future charges. We do not provide partial-month refunds or credits.
How cancellation works. You cancel yourself through the Stripe billing portal, reachable from the Plan & billing card in your Settings. Your plan ends immediately when you cancel. Prospect runs and email sending stop at that moment, your account returns to the free tier, and no further charges are made. Because fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable, cancelling part-way through a month forfeits the rest of that month.
Cancellation and a failed payment work the same way. Both end paid service immediately, as described in Section 3; the difference is only who initiated it.
What you keep. Prospects and contact details already delivered to you stay in your account and remain yours to use under the license in Section 7, which survives cancellation.
Outreach is sent under your business name and on your behalf. You are the marketing sender and you are responsible for what those emails say. You represent and agree that:
By default, you review and approve every email before it is sent. If we later offer an option to send without per-email review, it will require a separate, clearly labeled opt-in, you may turn it off at any time, and you remain responsible for the accuracy of your business information — menu and pricing for a catering client, packages, rates, capacity, and availability for a venue client — along with your offers and outreach settings, for every message sent under it.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vintage Geek Design LLC and its owners, members, employees, and contractors from any claim, demand, penalty, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: the content you approve for sending; inaccurate or misleading business information you provide; offers, packages, or availability you cannot honor; your use of delivered prospect data outside the license in Section 7; your violation of these Terms or of any law, including laws governing commercial email; or your misuse of the service.
Every outreach email we send on your behalf carries your business's physical mailing address and a working opt-out. Opt-outs are recorded and honored automatically and permanently across the service — once a recipient opts out, we will not send to that address again for you.
These are technical safeguards, not a transfer of responsibility. You remain responsible for complying with the CAN-SPAM Act, Chapter 321 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, and any other law that applies to your outreach. You must respect opt-out requests you receive directly, must keep your mailing address accurate and current, and must not attempt to reach anyone who has opted out through the service or by any other route.
Prospect information is compiled from public and third-party commercial sources. You do not own it. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use prospect data delivered to your account solely for your own outreach for the business on your account — catering and food-service outreach for a catering client, event, group, and private-booking outreach for a venue client. Any other use falls outside the license.
You may not resell, redistribute, publish, license, or share delivered prospect data with any third party; use it to build or enrich a separate database or list product; scrape or bulk-export it; or use it for any business other than the one on your account. The license is not exclusive: the same business may appear in another client's results.
Prospect data is provided as is. Business contact information changes constantly and we do not warrant that it is accurate, current, complete, or that any address will accept mail.
The service, its software, its agents, its research methods, its brands (including the cateringleads.ai and PartnerPlate names and marks), and its content belong to Vintage Geek Design LLC. These Terms grant you a right to use the service, not any ownership of it, and you may not copy, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from it.
Email copy drafted for you becomes yours once you approve it. Your business name, logo, menu, package and rate sheets, photographs, and other brand assets remain yours; you grant us only the license needed to research, draft, display, and send outreach on your behalf and to operate the service.
Feedback. If you send us suggestions, feature requests, or other feedback, you grant us an unrestricted, perpetual, royalty-free right to use it to improve the service, with no obligation to you and no claim by you to what we build from it.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.
We do not guarantee replies, open rates, deliverability, bookings, sales, revenue, customer acquisition, or any other business outcome.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Vintage Geek Design LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost business, lost data, or lost opportunities, even if advised of the possibility.
Our total liability for all claims relating to the service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).
The service is not sold with any service-level commitment. We do not promise any level of uptime, availability, response time, or support, and scheduled or unscheduled downtime is not a breach of these Terms.
These limits do not apply to your payment obligations, your indemnification obligations under Section 5, your misuse of the service or of prospect data, breach of Section 12 (confidentiality), infringement of intellectual property, fraud or willful misconduct, or to any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.
We are not responsible for failures caused by third-party services the product depends on — including email providers, payment processors, hosting, and data sources — or by events outside our reasonable control.
You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms, that sends unlawful or deceptive content, that creates a deliverability or abuse risk for the sending infrastructure, or that is unpaid, and we will tell you why. We may also discontinue the service on reasonable notice, in which case you will not be charged again.
On closure, dashboard access ends and sending stops. Data handling on closure — including what is deleted, what is retained, and how long — is described in the Privacy Policy. Opt-out and suppression records are retained permanently, because deleting them would allow someone who opted out to be emailed again.
Sections 5 (responsibilities and indemnification), 7 (prospect data), 8 (intellectual property), 9 (disclaimers and limitation of liability), 11 (governing law), 12 (confidentiality), 13 (publicity), 14 (general provisions), and any accrued payment obligations survive termination.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and both parties consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
Jury trial waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, both parties waive any right to a trial by jury.
Class action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought individually, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.
Each party may learn non-public information of the other through this relationship — on your side, your pricing, margins, customer lists, and business plans; on ours, the non-public workings of the service, its research methods, and any pricing or terms not published on our website. Each party will use the other's non-public information only to perform under these Terms, will protect it with at least reasonable care, and will not disclose it to anyone except employees, contractors, and advisors who need it and are bound to protect it.
This does not cover information that is or becomes public through no fault of the receiving party, that the receiving party already had without a duty of confidence, that it develops independently, or that it must disclose by law or court order — in which case, where legally permitted, it will tell the other party first. These obligations continue for three years after the account closes, and indefinitely for anything that qualifies as a trade secret.
The service works by introducing your business to prospects, and the PartnerPlate website presents participating businesses publicly. You therefore grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use your business name, logo, and a short factual description of your business to identify you as a client — on our websites (including a partner or client directory), in the outreach we send on your behalf, and in ordinary marketing materials.
This license covers factual identification only. It does not permit us to publish your non-public business information, to quote you, or to attribute a testimonial or endorsement to you without your separate written approval, and it does not permit any use that misstates what your business does.
You may opt out at any time by emailing hello@cateringleads.ai. We will remove you from our marketing materials and public directory within thirty days of the request. Materials already printed or already sent cannot be recalled, and this does not affect outreach sent on your behalf under your own name, which is the service itself.
Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order or plan details shown at checkout, are the entire agreement between us about the service, and they replace any prior or contemporaneous discussion, proposal, email, or representation about it. Nothing said in a sales conversation, on a marketing page, or in support correspondence adds a term to this agreement.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted and, if it cannot be, it will be severed. Every remaining provision stays in full force. In particular, if the class-action waiver or the jury-trial waiver in Section 11 is held unenforceable, only that waiver is affected — the rest of Section 11 and of these Terms survives intact.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision on one occasion, that is not a waiver of it or of any other provision, and it does not waive our right to enforce it later. A waiver is effective only if we give it in writing.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or your account, without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. We may assign these Terms to an affiliate or to a successor in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, on notice to you.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for a failure or delay caused by something outside its reasonable control — including outages or changes at email providers, payment processors, hosting providers, or data sources, and acts of God, natural disaster, war, terrorism, labor disruption, government action, or widespread internet or utility failure. Your payment obligations for service already delivered are not excused by this paragraph.
Electronic communications and notice. You consent to receive communications about the service electronically, and you agree that electronic notices, agreements, and records satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing. We give notice by email to the address on your account or by in-app notice; you give notice by email to hello@cateringleads.ai. It is your responsibility to keep a working email address on the account. This consent does not remove your right to unsubscribe from marketing email; it covers notices about the service and your account.
Independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or franchise relationship, or makes either party the agent of the other for any purpose except the limited authority you give us to send outreach on your behalf under Section 5.
Third parties. These Terms are between you and us. No other person or business has any right to enforce them.
Headings. Section headings are for convenience and do not affect how these Terms are read.
We may update these Terms. Each version carries the version date shown at the top of this page, and the version you accepted is recorded with your account at checkout.
Non-material changes — clarifications, corrections, contact details — take effect when posted here. Material changes to billing, liability, dispute resolution, or privacy will be announced by email or in-app notice before they take effect, and we will ask you to affirmatively accept them. If you do not accept a material change, you may cancel before it applies.
