Terms of Use
Last updated:
Welcome to tvrestaurants.com. By using this Site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
What this Site is
tvrestaurants.com is an informational directory that maps and tracks restaurants and bars that have appeared on television shows, and reports on their open/closed status over time. We don't take reservations, process payments, or offer any transaction through the Site itself (affiliate links to third-party services are the exception — see our Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure). There are no user accounts; nothing here requires you to register or log in.
Accuracy — please read this section
We compile restaurant details, episode information, and open/closed status from public sources: news coverage, official business listings, restaurants' own websites and social media, direct outreach, and in some cases third-party location-data signals. Businesses change quickly. A status shown as "open" or "closed" reflects our best understanding as of the date shown on that page, not a live, real-time feed. Always confirm directly with the restaurant (call ahead or check their own site/social media) before visiting. See our Editorial & Corrections Policy for exactly how we determine and label status, and how to flag something that looks wrong.
Not professional advice
Nothing on this Site is legal, health, safety, travel, or professional advice of any kind. Restaurant conditions, health ratings, hours, and offerings can change without notice; use your own judgment and check official sources before making plans, especially around food-safety or accessibility needs.
Trademarks, show names, and "not affiliated"
Television show names, network names, personality names, and any associated trademarks or logos referenced on this Site belong to their respective owners. We refer to them only to identify and describe which show or episode featured a given restaurant — a form of nominative fair use that lets us truthfully describe factual, publicly known information without needing the owner's permission, so long as we use no more of the mark than necessary and don't imply their endorsement. We do not use show logos, title-card artwork, network channel logos, or footage/screenshots from any episode. tvrestaurants.com is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any television network, streaming platform, production company, or the hosts, chefs, or personalities of any show referenced on this Site. See our full Disclaimer & Non-Affiliation Statement.
Our own content
Except for facts (which no one owns) and third-party marks used nominatively as described above, the text, design, database structure, and original photography on this Site are owned by TVRestaurants.com or used under license, and may not be copied, scraped, or republished without permission. See our Copyright/DMCA Notice.
Corrections, tips, and other submissions you send us
If you submit a correction, tip, comment, or other content to us (through a contact form, email, or any future comment feature), you're telling us it's accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. By submitting it, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, and publish that submission (or a summary of the underlying fact) on the Site, without any obligation to use it, credit you, or compensate you, and without any obligation of confidentiality unless we've separately agreed otherwise in writing. Don't submit anything you don't have the right to share, or anything that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or privacy rights.
Prohibited use
Don't scrape, crawl, or bulk-extract data from this Site using automated tools without our written permission; don't misrepresent your identity in any correction/tip submission; don't use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
Third-party links and ads
This Site displays advertising and may include affiliate links to third-party websites and services. We don't control those third parties, don't vouch for their content, products, or policies, and linking to them isn't an endorsement.
Disclaimer of warranties
The Site and all content on it are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any restaurant status, hours, or detail shown is current or accurate at the moment you read it.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, TVRestaurants.com and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenue, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Site, or from any reliance on information found on it — including a wasted trip to a restaurant whose status changed after our last update. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site is limited to $100.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold TVRestaurants.com and its operator harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maine, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Maine, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date will reflect the most recent change. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
