By accessing, browsing, or using our digital catalog of Canadian restaurant menus and pricing archives, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these terms, please discontinue use of the platform.
1. Informational & Archival Purpose
MenuMaple is an independent digital culinary archive that aggregates, structures, and digitizes restaurant menus across Canada. Our core objective is to enhance consumer transparency, streamline dining discovery, and provide price comparison tools in Canadian Dollars ($ CAD). We are not a food vendor, restaurant broker, online reservation booking system, or meal delivery provider.
2. Canadian Intellectual Property & Fair Dealing
The proprietary website code, user interface designs, search algorithms, graphics, and database architectures of MenuMaple are protected under the intellectual property laws of Canada.
Restaurant Trademarks & Menu Content: All restaurant names, registered trademarks, logos, dish descriptions, and menu data published on this website remain the sole intellectual property of their respective holders. MenuMaple indexes, formats, and displays this data under the Canadian Fair Dealing provisions (Sections 29, 29.1, & 29.2 of the Copyright Act of Canada, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-42) and descriptive nominative use under the Trademarks Act strictly for consumer review, commentary, and price transparency.
3. Accuracy of Menu Prices & Availability
While we work continuously to keep all archived menus and prices current and accurate:
- Restaurant menus, ingredients, seasonal dishes, beverage prices, and operating hours are subject to frequent changes without notice.
- Prices displayed are informational snapshots and are typically before applicable federal and provincial sales taxes (GST/PST/HST), mandatory delivery charges, or discretionary gratuities unless otherwise noted.
- We make no guarantees regarding real-time dish availability or instantaneous price synchronization at physical dining rooms.
- We recommend verifying menu items, dietary requirements, and prices directly with the restaurant staff when ordering.

5. Third-Party Links & Food Delivery Services
Our website may provide outbound links to official restaurant websites, mapping services, and third-party delivery platforms (such as DoorDash, SkipTheDishes, and Uber Eats). These links are provided solely for user convenience. MenuMaple does not control, endorse, or accept liability for the terms, service quality, billing practices, or privacy policies of third-party platforms.
