  • A newsletter that users can subscribe to.

The Platform is intended solely for persons aged 18 or older. By using our services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and fully capable and competent to accept these Terms.

If you are accessing the Platform on behalf of a company or other legal entity (such as a catering provider), you declare and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Subscription Plans for Providers

To publish a profile in the directory, providers must subscribe to one of the following plans:

  • Free Plan: A free trial plan for 30 days;
