Draft. These terms have not yet been reviewed by a solicitor and are not in force. They are published so the shape of the agreement is visible early. Nothing below is binding until this notice is removed.
Last edited 26 September 2026 · "KORT" and "the platform" below both mean this service (kortmenu.com) and the company that operates it.
The platform stores the content of your menus and sets it — into a web menu, a print-ready PDF, an embeddable menu for your own website, and related outputs — using templates the platform provides. You own the content. The platform owns the rendering engine and its own templates.
You are responsible for everything in your menus: names, descriptions, prices, availability, and any marks or notes about ingredients, allergens, dietary suitability or preparation. The platform displays what you enter; it does not check it against what is in your kitchen and cannot.
Allergen and dietary information. Where your menu carries marks, badges or text about allergens or dietary suitability, that information is yours, and its accuracy and completeness are your legal responsibility under the food information law that applies to you (in the UK, including the Food Information Regulations and, where pre-packed-for-direct-sale labels are involved, "Natasha's Law"). The platform's prompts — for example, a note that a description mentions hazelnuts — are reminders to check, never a check. The platform is a display mechanism for allergen information, not a source of it. [Solicitor: confirm wording and the US equivalents before any paying customer.]
Templates provided by the platform remain the platform's. A template designed for you — by the platform or by a designer you engage — is yours: you own its design. It lives on the platform while you use the service, and if you leave you may recreate it elsewhere; the platform claims no rights over it. [Settled in principle; solicitor to word.]
An account belongs to a person. A restaurant (a "venue") has one or more owners, who may add and remove other people. You are responsible for what the people you add do with your menus. Keep your password to yourself; tell us if you think an account has been compromised.
Nothing reaches diners until you publish. Every publish is kept as a numbered revision so you can reprint or go back to it. Deleting a menu deletes its history. Taking an item off the web menu does not change anything already printed.
The platform aims to be available at all times and makes no guarantee that it will be. If it is down, your published web menus may be too. Keep a PDF of your current menu; the platform gives you one on every publish.
You may close your account at any time. Before you do, you can download your menus as PDFs and your content as a structured file. After closure your content is deleted within 30 days, except where we must keep it by law.
To the extent the law allows, the platform is not liable for losses arising from the content of your menus (including allergen information), from a printed run that does not match your expectations (proof it first — the platform gives you the exact PDF), or from the service being unavailable. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law. [Solicitor.]
We may change these terms; we will tell account owners by email at least 30 days before a material change takes effect.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. [Confirm; US customers may need a separate arrangement.]
