Terms of Use

By accessing or using Foopy (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

Foopy aggregates publicly available food hygiene ratings from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and customer review data from Google Maps Platform to produce a combined informational score (“Foopy Score”).

The Service is provided for informational purposes only. It is not a food safety inspection service, a regulatory body, or an endorsement of any restaurant. A high Foopy Score does not constitute a guarantee of hygiene standards, food quality, suitability for dining, or freedom from food safety risks.

We make reasonable efforts to keep data accurate and current, but:

• Food hygiene ratings are sourced from the FSA database and reflect the outcome of the most recent inspection on record. They may not reflect subsequent improvements, deterioration, or changes in ownership.
• Inspections are conducted and recorded by local councils. Foopy has no control over the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of data held by the FSA or local authorities.
• Google Reviews are cached periodically and may not reflect the most current rating. Review counts and scores can change between our refresh cycles.
• The Foopy Score is a calculated metric derived from third-party data. It is subject to the limitations of those sources and our calculation methodology.

Always verify information directly with the Food Standards Agency and Google if you require up-to-date information.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without any warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Foopy and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss or damage of any kind arising from:

• Your use of, or inability to use, the Service
• Any reliance placed on data, scores, or information displayed on the Service
• Any food safety incident, illness, injury, or other harm arising from dining at a restaurant featured on the Service, regardless of its Foopy Score
• Inaccurate, outdated, or missing data from third-party sources
• Any decision made in reliance on information displayed on the Service

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

Food hygiene rating data is sourced from the Food Standards Agency under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Foopy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Food Standards Agency.

Review data is sourced from Google Maps Platform. Foopy is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.

If you submit a correction or suggestion via the “Suggest a correction” feature, you confirm that your submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge and is not malicious, defamatory, or misleading. We reserve the right to accept, reject, or modify any submission at our discretion.

You may not use the Service to:

• Scrape, copy, or republish data at scale without permission
• Submit false or malicious corrections
• Attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to the Service
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose

All original content, design, code, and branding on Foopy (excluding third-party data) is owned by Foopy and may not be reproduced, distributed, or used without written permission.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.
