Last updated: 17 May 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between Review Scout Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17219152), with its registered office at 190 Nidd Road East, Sheffield, S9 3BG, United Kingdom ("Review Scout", "we", "us", "our"), and you, the person or entity using our service ("you", "your", "Customer").

By signing up for, accessing, or using Review Scout, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the service.

2. The Service

Review Scout is a Google review generation system for restaurants. The service includes:

  • A unique branded QR code for each member of your serving staff, delivered as a printable PDF
  • A daily report showing reviews generated, broken down by individual server
  • Optional self-laminating pouches for paid subscribers after trial conversion

We may modify or improve the service from time to time. We will not materially reduce the scope of the service without reasonable notice.

3. Account and Eligibility

To use Review Scout, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years of age
  • Operate a restaurant or hospitality business
  • Provide accurate and complete information when signing up
  • Hold legal authority to bind the business you represent to these Terms

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. Free Trial

We offer a 7-day free trial of the service. During the trial:

  • No payment will be charged to your card
  • You will have full access to the service
  • You may cancel at any time before the trial ends without charge

At the end of the trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan at £19.99 per restaurant per month unless you cancel before the trial expires. We will send a reminder email before your trial ends.

5. Subscription and Payment

After the trial period:

  • The subscription fee is £19.99 per restaurant per month (or such other amount as we may notify in advance)
  • Payment is collected monthly in advance via our payment processor, Stripe
  • Subscriptions automatically renew each month until cancelled
  • Fees are inclusive of VAT where applicable

If a payment fails, we will attempt to retry the charge. If payment cannot be collected after a reasonable period, we may suspend or terminate your access to the service.

6. Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time:

  • Through your account dashboard, or
  • By emailing [email protected]

Cancellation takes effect immediately upon our receipt of your request. You will retain access to the service until the end of your current billing period. No refunds will be issued for the unused portion of the current billing period except as set out in our Refund Policy.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to manipulate, fabricate, or incentivise fake or fraudulent Google reviews
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to access the source code of the service
  • Resell, redistribute, or sublicense the service without our prior written consent
  • Use the service in a way that violates Google's policies on reviews or local advertising standards

You acknowledge that Google's review policies prohibit incentivised reviews and fake reviews. Review Scout helps you systematically ask satisfied customers to leave honest reviews; it does not generate fake reviews or guarantee positive ratings.

8. Your Obligations

To use the service effectively, you agree to provide:

  • Accurate restaurant and contact information
  • The names of staff members for whom QR codes are to be issued
  • A valid Google Business Profile URL
  • A logo, if you wish your QR codes to be branded

You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to provide staff names and that your staff are aware their review performance is being tracked through the service.

9. Intellectual Property

The Review Scout service, including all software, designs, logos, branding, content, and documentation, is owned by Review Scout Ltd and is protected by intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the service for your business while your subscription is active.

You retain ownership of any content you provide to us (logos, staff names, business information). You grant us a licence to use this content solely for the purpose of delivering the service to you.

10. Privacy and Data

Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms by reference. By using the service you acknowledge that you have read the Privacy Policy.

11. Third-Party Services

The service relies on third-party providers including:

  • Google (for review redirects and the Google Business Profile)
  • Stripe (for payment processing)
  • LeadConnector / HighLevel (for hosting and communications)

We are not responsible for the availability, performance, policies, or actions of these third parties. Their terms and privacy policies apply when you interact with their services.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

Review Scout helps your business generate more Google reviews through accountability and structure. We do not guarantee:

  • A specific number of reviews
  • Specific positive ratings or star averages
  • Particular search ranking outcomes on Google
  • Continuous, error-free, or uninterrupted access to the service

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, except those that cannot be excluded under English law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the three (3) months preceding the claim.
  • We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, business, or data.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.

On termination, your right to use the service ceases. We will retain your data only as long as required by law or as described in our Privacy Policy.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email and by posting the updated Terms on our website. Continued use of the service after such changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
