Terms of Service
We help you book a bar. The bar sells you the drinks and takes your money. Here is exactly who is responsible for what.
Draft — not yet reviewed by counsel
These terms are written and in force for the private preview, but a lawyer has not reviewed them yet. If anything here conflicts with what a bar tells you, ask us before you pay anyone.
1. Who we are
Tables n Tabs is a booking platform operated by Southern Hospitality ENT LLC, a Florida limited liability company based in Gainesville. When these terms say “we”, “us” or “Tables n Tabs”, that is who they mean. “You” means the person using the site to request or manage a booking.
By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use the site.
2. What we actually do
We show you bars, their nights, their minimum spends and what they offer, and we pass your booking request to the bar. The bar decides whether to accept it. That is the whole of our role.
We do not sell, serve, supply or deliver alcohol, and we never have. The bar is the seller of record for everything it pours. It is responsible for serving you lawfully, for checking identification, and for deciding who it admits and who it refuses.
We are not the bar’s agent for the purposes of the sale, and the bar is not ours. Your agreement to buy a tab, a table or an area is between you and the bar.
3. A request is not a booking until the bar says yes
Submitting a request does not reserve anything and does not hold any inventory. Another group can request and be approved for the same table while your request is open. Nothing is held for you until the bar approves your request.
The bar may decline for any lawful reason, and may decline without giving one. If a bar does not answer, your request may expire on its own.
4. Money — you pay the bar, not us
Nothing is charged when you submit a request. When the bar approves it, the bar gives you its own payment page, and you pay the bar directly. Tables n Tabs never takes, holds, routes or touches your payment.
The payment page belongs to the bar and to whatever payment provider the bar uses. Your card details go to the bar’s provider and never to us. We do not store card numbers, card security codes or bank details, and we could not charge you if we tried.
Because we never receive your money, we cannot refund it. See Cancellations and refunds.
The bar sets its own prices, minimum spends, service charges, gratuities, taxes and any late-booking fee. Those are the bar’s charges, not ours. We earn our money by invoicing the bar a commission — you are never charged a Tables n Tabs fee on top of what the bar quotes you.
5. Age — 21 and over
Florida law prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone under 21. When you book, you confirm that you are 21 or older. That confirmation is a statement you are making, and making it falsely is your responsibility.
Confirming your age on this site is not identification and does not get anybody into a bar. The bar checks a physical ID at the door, for you and for every one of your guests, exactly as it would for any other customer. Anyone who cannot produce acceptable identification will not be served, and that is not a basis for a refund from us or, unless the bar says otherwise, from the bar.
We do not ask for, collect or store photographs or scans of identification documents.
6. Your booking details have to be true
Give us a real name, a real phone number and a real email address. The bar uses them to reach you, and a booking with a fake contact is a booking the bar cannot honour.
Your booking code is the key to your booking. Anyone who has it can see the booking and open the payment page, so share it only with your own group.
7. What you may not do
Do not use the site to break the law, to arrange service to anyone under 21, to impersonate anyone, to submit requests you have no intention of honouring, to scrape or copy the site, to probe or interfere with its security, or to disrupt it for anyone else.
We can suspend or refuse access to anyone doing any of that.
8. What we do not promise
The site is provided as it is. We do not promise it will always be available, that listings, prices, minimums or availability shown are free of error, or that a bar will honour a booking it accepted. Bars set their own information and can change it.
We are not responsible for what happens at the bar: service, admission, the condition of a space, the conduct of staff or of other customers, injury, or anything you buy once you are there. Those are matters between you and the bar.
9. Limits on our liability
To the extent the law allows, Tables n Tabs is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you for any claim connected to the site or a booking is limited to the greater of the commission we actually received in connection with that booking, or one hundred US dollars.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Some states do not allow certain exclusions, in which case the exclusion applies only as far as it lawfully can.
10. Indemnity
If a claim is brought against us because of something you did — breaking these terms, breaking the law, misstating your age, or what you or your guests do at a bar — you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses arising from it.
11. Changes
We may change these terms. The date at the top of this page tells you when they last changed. If a change is significant we will say so on the site rather than hope you notice. Changes do not apply retrospectively to a booking a bar has already approved.
12. Copyright, and what to do about it
The design, text and software of this site belong to us. The bars' own names, logos and descriptions belong to them, and they are responsible for having the right to give them to us.
If you believe something on this site infringes your copyright, email bookings@tablesntabs.com with: what the work is, where on our site it appears, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised, a statement that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for them, and your signature (typing your name is enough).
We will remove or disable it, tell whoever posted it, and let them respond. If they properly counter-notify we may put it back. We will end the account of anyone who does this repeatedly.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts sitting in Alachua County, Florida, and you and we both agree to that.
