Terms of Use

Coffee.net is an online portal and community that provides Seattle restaurant reviews and publishes articles relating to green topics and the Northwest. We enjoy running the site and hope to build our site into a major community for both food and Seattle enthusiasts. As part of that commitment, we will address a number of legal issues so that you can know what to expect from us and what we can expect from you.

Acceptance of Use and Terms:

The following statements are the Terms of Use and Conditions. By using this site you are agreeing to be bound by the rules and regulations set forth within this page. If you do not agree with the terms of use, simply halt the use of Coffee.net.

User Conduct
As an interactive site, Coffee.net expects the users of the site to behave as responsible, polite citizens. The following are rules on what you are not allowed to post on our interactive forums, message boards, reviews or any other medium while using Coffee.net.

• 1. Do not post, upload, link, distribute or facilitate distribution of any materials that are libelous or slanderous. Not only is it just in bad taste, but you could be held legally liable for it (not good).
• 2. Do not post any material that is sexually suggestive or contains sexually explicit content (including but not limited to nudity). Our site caters to foodies and Seattlelites, which generally doesn't cross over with the seedier elements of the web. So please, keep your midnight activities separated from Coffee.net and everyone is happy.
• 3. Do not post any material that may offend or attack any specific individual or group based on the big suspect classes i.e. religion, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age of disability. Calling someone out for asking for A1 at El Gaucho, cool. Calling someone out for recommending a new gay bar on Capitol Hill, not cool.
• 4. Do not threaten, abuse, harass, or invade the privacy of others or other proprietary rights. It's not cool, but moreso, you generally don't look very smart threating to beat people up over a big series of tubes.
• 5. Do no infringe on the rights of 3rd Parties i.e. copyrights, patents, trade rights etc. As legendary as you'll seem posting the menu recipes for a restaurant like... oh, say Palisades, you'll be washing dishes for a real long time to pay off that court judgment against you. Not recommended.
