Nutritional information provided on our website is approximate and may vary due to product availability, seasonal variations, portion size, and preparation methods. This information is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional nutritional or medical advice.
8. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not owned or controlled by Costa Vida. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services. We do not warrant the offerings of any third-party entities or their websites.
Your use of third-party websites is at your own risk and subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties. We strongly encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement, approval, or responsibility by Costa Vida for that website or its content.
9. Disclaimers — Services Provided "As Is"
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, COSTA VIDA EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement;
- Warranties that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components;
- Warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any content or information provided through the Services;
- Warranties that defects in the Services will be corrected;
- Warranties that the results obtained from the use of the Services will be accurate or reliable.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In such cases, our warranties are limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COSTA VIDA, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, OR PARTNERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, COMPUTER DAMAGE, OR SYSTEM FAILURE, EVEN IF COSTA VIDA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Services exceed the greater of:
- The total amount paid by you to Costa Vida in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or
- One Hundred United States Dollars ($100.00 USD).
The limitation of liability set forth above is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Costa Vida and you. The Services would not be provided without such limitations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages; therefore, the above limitation may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Costa Vida, its parent company, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, service providers, and successors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
- Your violation of these Terms of Service;
- Your use of the Services, including but not limited to any content you submit, post, or transmit through the Services;
- Your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights;
- Your violation of any applicable federal, state, or local law or regulation;
- Any claim that your content caused damage to a third party;
- Your negligence or willful misconduct.
We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you agree to cooperate fully with us in asserting any available defenses.
12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Service and any dispute or claim arising out of or related to these Terms, their subject matter, or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States of America and applicable state laws, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provisions.
To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Costa Vida agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the United States for the purpose of litigating all such disputes. You hereby waive any objection to the laying of venue in such courts and waive any claim that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.
Users located in California acknowledge that additional rights and protections may apply under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.), and the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), as well as other applicable California state laws.
Additionally, consumer protection standards applicable under the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq.) apply to our commercial practices, and we are committed to complying with all FTC regulations regarding fair and transparent business practices in the food and restaurant industry.
13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
13.1 Informal Resolution
In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services ("Dispute"), you agree to first attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting Costa Vida at [email protected] with a written description of the Dispute. We will attempt to resolve the Dispute informally within thirty (30) days of receipt. If the Dispute cannot be resolved informally within that period, either party may proceed to binding arbitration as described below.
13.2 Binding Arbitration
Except for claims seeking injunctive or other equitable relief, or claims relating to intellectual property infringement, any unresolved Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended from time to time. The arbitration shall be conducted in English, and the arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.
13.3 Class Action Waiver
13.4 Time Limitation on Claims
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. This limitation shall not apply to claims under applicable state consumer protection laws where such limitations are prohibited.
14. Term and Termination
These Terms shall remain in full force and effect for as long as you use or access our Services. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate or suspend your access to all or any portion of the Services, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to:
- Violation of any provision of these Terms;
- Conduct that we believe is harmful to other users, third parties, or the business interests of Costa Vida;
- Requests from law enforcement or government agencies;
- Discontinuation or material modification of the Services;
- Unexpected technical or security issues.
Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including without limitation, intellectual property provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification obligations, and limitations of liability.
You may also terminate your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected] and requesting account deletion.

- Sending an email notification to the address associated with your account, where applicable;

Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must immediately discontinue your use of the Services. We encourage you to periodically review these Terms to stay informed of any updates.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason under applicable federal or state law, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms. The severance of such provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid, enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the original provision.
No failure or delay by Costa Vida in exercising any right, power, or remedy under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of such right, power, or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right, power, or remedy shall preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.
17. Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices, policies, or guidelines published by Costa Vida on the website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Costa Vida concerning the Services. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings with respect to the Services, whether written or oral. No representation, statement, or inducement, whether oral or written, not contained in these Terms shall bind either party.
