Please read these terms carefully before using our service.
Last Updated: April 23, 2026
Please read carefully. These Terms contain a binding arbitration clause and class action waiver that affect your legal rights. You give up the right to sue in court and the right to a jury trial. You can opt out of arbitration within 30 days of creating your account by emailing us — see the Arbitration section below.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding contract between you and Broke & Buzzed ("Broke & Buzzed," "we," "us," or "our") and govern your access to and use of our website, iOS app, APIs, and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing, browsing, downloading, or using the Service in any way — even without creating an account — you accept these Terms in full. If you do not agree to every part of these Terms, you must not use the Service.
These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and Responsible Drinking page.
By using the Service, you represent, warrant, and covenant on a continuing basis that:
Any false, misleading, or incomplete representation immediately voids the agreement, terminates your right to use the Service, and triggers your indemnification obligations under Section 14. We may verify any representation at any time and refuse, suspend, or terminate access for any reason or no reason.
Broke & Buzzed operates an information-only platform that displays alcohol-related deals, prices, and promotions advertised by independent, third-party licensed retailers ("Stores"). That is the entire scope of the Service.
We are not a retailer, wholesaler, distributor, importer, manufacturer, or licensee of alcohol. We do not:
Every transaction occurs entirely between you and a licensed Store. Any dispute over price, availability, product quality, refusal of service, ID check, refund, or anything else arising from your interaction with a Store is solely between you and that Store. We are not a party to it and have no liability for it.
Listings, prices, photos, descriptions, hours, locations, and availability are submitted by Stores and/or aggregated from publicly available sources. They may be inaccurate, outdated, mistaken, or withdrawn at any time without notice. Always confirm price, product, and terms with the Store at the register before purchasing. Reliance on any listing is at your sole risk.
Web browsing of the Service is anonymous and does not require an account. The iOS app may require one. When you create an account, you must:
You agree you will not:
Violation of any acceptable-use rule is grounds for immediate termination and may result in civil and criminal liability.
Buzz Points are a discretionary promotional program offered by Broke & Buzzed. By participating, you acknowledge and agree:
Buzz Points have no value except as offered by us within the Service, and that value can change or disappear at any time.
You acknowledge and agree that alcohol consumption carries inherent and serious risks, including but not limited to: intoxication, impaired judgment, addiction, physical dependence, alcohol poisoning, blackouts, accidents, injuries, drunk driving and related criminal charges, violence, sexual assault, property damage, organ damage (including liver, brain, and heart), increased risk of multiple cancers, fetal harm during pregnancy, interactions with medication, exacerbation of mental health conditions, financial loss, social and professional harm, and death.
You assume all such risks fully, voluntarily, and irrevocably. You are solely and exclusively responsible for:
Broke & Buzzed has no duty to warn beyond the information published on our Responsible Drinking page, and disclaims any other duty to the maximum extent permitted by law. We are not liable for any injury, illness, death, arrest, conviction, fine, lawsuit, divorce, job loss, or other harm of any kind arising from or related to your consumption of alcohol or anyone else's consumption of alcohol.
The Service contains references and links to Stores and other third-party websites, apps, and services. We do not control, endorse, vet, audit, or assume any responsibility for any third party. Your dealings with any third party — including Stores — are solely between you and that third party. We are not liable for any loss, damage, dispute, injury, or claim arising from any third party's products, services, conduct, content, pricing, refusal of service, or anything else.
The Service, including the Broke & Buzzed name, logo, marks, design, software, code, copy, graphics, databases, deal listings (as compiled), and all other original content, is owned by Broke & Buzzed or our licensors and is protected by U.S. and international intellectual property law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
If you submit any content to us — including feedback, suggestions, ratings, comments, redemption notes, photos, or any other material ("User Content") — you grant Broke & Buzzed a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works of, publish, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise use the User Content for any purpose, in any media now known or later developed, without notice, attribution, or compensation to you.
You represent and warrant that (a) you own or have all rights necessary to grant this license, (b) the User Content does not infringe or violate any third-party right, (c) the User Content is not unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, and (d) you waive any moral rights in the User Content. You indemnify us against any claim that your User Content breaches these warranties.
We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent that includes everything required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the copyrighted work, identification of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail for us to locate it, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief, a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature.
Designated Agent: Broke & Buzzed Copyright Agent, c/o officialbrokeandbuzzed@gmail.com. Counter-notices follow the same statutory format. We may terminate accounts of repeat infringers.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE — INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, LISTINGS, BUZZ POINTS, AND ANY DATA OR FEATURES — IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE.
BROKE & BUZZED, ITS FOUNDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND AFFILIATES (THE "BROKE & BUZZED PARTIES") SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, TIMELINESS, SECURITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND TITLE, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE BROKE & BUZZED PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT (a) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, (b) THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (c) ANY LISTING, PRICE, DEAL, STORE HOUR, INVENTORY, OR OTHER INFORMATION IS ACCURATE OR CURRENT, (d) ANY DEAL WILL BE HONORED BY ANY STORE, OR (e) ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, THESE EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE BROKE & BUZZED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, THESE TERMS, ANY LISTING, ANY STORE, BUZZ POINTS, OR ANY ALCOHOL-RELATED HARM, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE), EVEN IF ANY BROKE & BUZZED PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
IN NO EVENT WILL THE TOTAL, AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE BROKE & BUZZED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE EXCEED ZERO U.S. DOLLARS ($0). WHERE APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT A ZERO-DOLLAR CAP, AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE TOTAL FEES YOU HAVE PAID TO BROKE & BUZZED IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (WHICH WILL BE ZERO BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS FREE) OR (ii) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS LESS UNDER THAT JURISDICTION'S LAW.
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND ARE A FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You agree to indemnify, defend (at our option), and hold harmless the Broke & Buzzed Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right, including any intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right; (d) any User Content you submit; (e) your interaction with any Store or third party; (f) your purchase, possession, transport, service, or consumption of alcohol, or that of anyone you serve, host, transport, or accompany; (g) any misrepresentation by you, including any misrepresentation about your age, identity, eligibility, or location; or (h) any claim by a third party — including a family member, victim, or estate — arising from your conduct.
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 case you will fully cooperate. You will not settle any matter without our prior written consent.
Read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.
Agreement to arbitrate. Except for the carve-outs below, you and Broke & Buzzed agree that any past, present, or future dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind arising out of or related to the Service, these Terms, Buzz Points, or our relationship ("Dispute") will be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration, not in court. This includes disputes about the formation, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement.
Rules and forum. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, or, if JAMS is unavailable, by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in Providence, Rhode Island, or by video at your option. The arbitrator's decision is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) governs this section.
Class action waiver. YOU AND BROKE & BUZZED AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims and may not preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to any claim, that claim — and only that claim — will be severed and litigated in court; the rest of this Section 16 remains in force.
Jury trial waiver. You and Broke & Buzzed each waive any right to a jury trial in any matter arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver by emailing officialbrokeandbuzzed@gmail.com within 30 days of first creating your account, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your full name, the email tied to your account, and a clear statement that you are opting out. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.
Carve-outs. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for any claim within that court's jurisdiction, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.
These Terms and any Dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act). For any matter that is not subject to arbitration under Section 16, you and Broke & Buzzed consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Providence County, Rhode Island, and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum.
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service, your account, and any Buzz Points balance, at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, in our sole and absolute discretion. We have no liability to you or any third party for any suspension or termination. You may close your account at any time from in-app Settings or by emailing us. The provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive — including Sections 7 (Buzz Points), 8 (Alcohol Risks), 10 (IP), 11 (User Content), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification), 16 (Arbitration), 17 (Governing Law), 19 (Force Majeure), and 21 (General) — survive termination.
The Broke & Buzzed Parties are not liable for any delay, failure to perform, or interruption of the Service caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, earthquake, severe weather, war, terrorism, civil unrest, riot, strike, labor dispute, pandemic, epidemic, public health emergency, government action, regulation, or order, sanctions, embargo, court order, internet or telecommunications failure, power outage, cyberattack, denial-of-service attack, supply chain disruption, or third-party service failure (including AWS, Apple, payment processors, SMS providers, and similar).
We may modify these Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. Updates take effect when posted, with the "Last Updated" date revised. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice by email (to account holders) or by an in-app notice. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept, you must stop using the Service. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, with no liability to you.
