1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to ChineseRestaurantsVancouver.com, an independent online restaurant directory designed to help residents, visitors, families, and businesses discover Chinese restaurants, dim sum establishments, Cantonese restaurants, Sichuan restaurants, hot pot restaurants, noodle houses, and Chinese takeaway and delivery services throughout Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, British Columbia.

These Terms of Service govern the use of our website and our directory advertising services.

By accessing or using our website, visitors agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. Restaurant owners and advertisers purchasing directory services also agree to the commercial terms disclosed during enrollment.

2. Nature of Our Directory Services

ChineseRestaurantsVancouver.com operates as an independent restaurant information, directory, and advertising platform.

We do not own, operate, manage, inspect, or supervise the restaurants listed on our website.

We do not prepare, sell, or deliver restaurant meals.

All listed restaurants operate independently and remain responsible for their food preparation, customer service, licensing, public health compliance, and business operations.

Directory inclusion does not constitute restaurant certification, endorsement, or a guarantee of food quality.

3. Free Access for Visitors

Visitors may browse publicly available restaurant listings, articles, and general directory information without paying membership or access fees.

Visitors may contact restaurants directly to inquire about menus, prices, dining availability, delivery, takeaway, and reservations.

Any dining transaction or food purchase is made independently between the customer and the restaurant or relevant ordering platform.

4. Eligibility for Restaurant Listings

We welcome listing applications from eligible Chinese restaurants and related dining establishments serving Vancouver and Metro Vancouver.

These may include:

Other agreed promotional services

Advertising fees, applicable taxes, subscription durations, and included features will be disclosed before enrollment.

Paid or sponsored placements will be clearly identified.

Advertising provides promotional visibility but does not guarantee customer inquiries, reservations, food orders, sales, or revenue.

6. Automatic Renewal of Paid Listings

Paid listing subscriptions may automatically renew only when the advertiser has expressly authorized recurring billing.

The recurring amount, billing frequency, subscription duration, renewal conditions, and cancellation procedure will be disclosed before enrollment.

Unless cancelled before the next renewal date, an authorized subscription will generally renew for the same duration at the agreed price.

Any proposed changes to subscription prices will be communicated in advance, and additional consent will be obtained where legally required.

Advertisers may cancel future automatic renewals at any time without cancellation penalties.

7. Flexible Cancellation Policy

We believe restaurant advertising arrangements should be fair, flexible, and transparent.

Participating restaurant owners may request cancellation of paid directory listings at any time.

There are no cancellation penalties.

Advertisers may request immediate removal of their listing or allow it to remain active until the end of the current prepaid subscription period.

Cancellation requests will be processed within a reasonable timeframe.

Cancellation of future billing does not automatically reverse charges for services already delivered.

8. Fair Prorated Refund Policy

For standard prepaid directory listing subscriptions:

Before Publication: A full refund is available if no advertising services have been delivered.

Within Seven Calendar Days of Publication: Advertisers may request a prorated refund for the unused portion of their subscription.

After Seven Calendar Days: Advertisers may request a prorated refund for unused full calendar days remaining in the prepaid advertising period.

Refunds will be calculated according to the unused portion of the agreed subscription term.

Separately priced custom promotional services already completed may be excluded where disclosed in advance and legally permitted.

Approved refunds will normally be processed within 15 calendar days.

Nothing in this policy limits mandatory statutory refund rights.

We aim to provide reliable directory access but cannot guarantee uninterrupted website operation.

Temporary disruptions may occur due to maintenance, technical issues, hosting interruptions, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

If a paid advertising service is permanently discontinued before the end of its prepaid term, an appropriate refund will be provided for undelivered services.

Any applicable refund will be determined according to these Terms and mandatory legal requirements.
