5. Signature — Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and inform them that we may restore the removed content within 10–14 business days unless the complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action to restrain the alleged infringement.

Repeat infringer policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), restoful maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. We reserve the right to terminate any user's account at our sole discretion if we determine that the user has repeatedly uploaded or published content that infringes third-party copyrights.

restoful uses AI to help generate menu content, images, and other materials. If you believe any AI-generated content on the platform infringes your copyright, please follow the takedown procedure above. We will evaluate each notice on its merits. Restaurant operators who use AI-generated content are responsible for ensuring that such content does not infringe third-party rights before publishing it.
