Terms of Use
Theme Park Shark Bites Terms of Use
These terms are an agreement between you and Dustin Sparage, doing business as Theme Park Shark ("Theme Park Shark", "we", "us") for the Theme Park Shark Bites app (shown on your home screen as "Theme Park Bites") and its related pages. By using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the app. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information.
1. An independent fan guide
Theme Park Shark Bites is an independent fan guide made by Theme Park Shark. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Walt Disney Company, Universal Destinations & Experiences, NBCUniversal, or any restaurant shown. Park, land, festival, restaurant and food names and other trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to describe what is on the menu.
2. Menus, prices, allergens and scores
- Menus, prices, hours and availability change often. Information in the app comes from public menus, our own visits and other fans, and may be out of date or wrong. Always check the price and menu at the location before you order.
- Allergen and dietary information is a guide only. It is not medical advice. If you have a food allergy or dietary need, talk to the team at the restaurant before you order, every time. Community reports never change allergen information in the app.
- The Shark Score and Theme Park Shark reviews are personal opinions about food. Fan ratings are the opinions of the fans who post them.
3. Who can use the app and accounts
- You need to be at least 13 to create an account or post. If you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission.
- You can browse without an account. If you create one, keep your sign-in details private and tell us if you think someone else is using your account. One person per account.
4. Community rules: zero tolerance
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. When you post a review, rating, photo, report or profile detail, you agree not to post anything that:
- harasses, bullies, threatens or targets anyone, including other fans, park workers or creators;
- is hateful or discriminatory, sexually explicit, violent or graphic, or promotes illegal activity or self-harm;
- shares someone else's personal information, or focuses on an identifiable person who did not agree to be in the photo;
- is spam, an ad, a promo code, an affiliate link, or a fake review, including reviews written for or against a business you work for or are paid by;
- copies a photo, video or text you did not create or do not have permission to use;
- pretends to be someone else, or is not about the food you are reviewing.
We may remove content that breaks these rules or that we reasonably think is harmful, and we may suspend or permanently remove any user who posts it or abuses other users.
5. How we keep the community safe
- Filtering. Every review and photo is checked before it is shown to anyone else. Content that breaks these rules is not published.
- Reporting. You can report any review or photo from its menu in the app (offensive content, harassment, spam or unsafe content), and report a menu problem from any food's page.
- Blocking. You can block any reviewer from their review. Their reviews are hidden for you right away. You can unblock them in Review safety.
- Response time. We review reports of objectionable content within 24 hours. When content breaks these rules we remove it and remove the user who posted it where appropriate.
- Contact. For anything urgent, email support@themeparkshark.com.
6. Your content and the rights you give us
- You keep ownership of the reviews, ratings and photos you post ("your content").
- So the app can work, you give Theme Park Shark a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, resize, crop, format, display and distribute your content in the app and on Theme Park Shark Bites web pages, including share pages for food and lists, and to show it in App Store pages and promotion of the app. We may let our service providers use it only to run the app for us. Where practical we credit your display name.
- We will ask you before featuring your photo or review in a Theme Park Shark social media post or video.
- The license ends for new uses when you delete the content or your account. Copies already sent through share links or already published in approved promotion may take time to disappear or may remain where we cannot remove them.
- We do not have to publish, keep or keep showing any content.
7. Photo and video rights
- Only upload photos and videos you took yourself, or that you have clear permission to share. Do not upload images copied from websites, blogs, other apps, social media or official park sites.
- You are responsible for anyone who appears in your photo or video. Keep the focus on the food, and do not include people who have not agreed to be shown, especially children.
- Videos must not include music, shows or other material you do not have the right to share.
- We may resize, compress, crop and remove hidden data (such as location data) from uploads.
- Copyright complaints. If you believe something in the app infringes your copyright, email support@themeparkshark.com with: your contact details, the work you own, where it appears in the app, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized, a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner, and your physical or electronic signature. We remove material that infringes and remove users who repeatedly infringe.
8. Our content
The app, its design, the Shark Score, Theme Park Shark videos, photos, reviews and lists are owned by Theme Park Shark or used with permission. You may use them for your own personal, non-commercial use, and share them using the app's share features. Photos and information from other sources are credited and belong to their owners.
9. Things you agree not to do
- Scrape, copy or bulk download menus, prices, scores or photos, or use them to build another product.
- Reverse engineer the app, get around rate limits or security, or use bots or automated accounts.
- Misuse the report system or send fake food reports.
- Use the app in a way that breaks the law or harms the app or other people.
10. Paid features
Searching menus, prices, scores and sharing are free. If we offer optional paid features, they are sold through Apple's In-App Purchase under Apple's payment terms. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period in your Apple account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple.
11. Ending your use
You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or if we stop offering the app. Sections that by their nature should continue (for example 6, 7, 12 to 15) continue after that.
12. Disclaimers
The app is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no promises that the app or its information will be accurate, complete, always available or error-free, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
13. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Theme Park Shark is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim about the app is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim or US $50. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
14. Indemnity
If you break these terms or post content that infringes someone's rights, you agree to cover reasonable costs and claims that result for Theme Park Shark, to the extent the law allows.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim locally.
