Wait Playfully Terms of Service

Effective September 1, 2026

Wait Playfully is operated by Clear Flow Media LLC ("we," "us," "our"). These Terms govern waitplayfully.com, business pages, games, menus, QR-code experiences, advertising, and related services (the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. This includes a participating business that uses, claims, or continues to display a page we created for it. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who uses the Service

Guests. Anyone may use public pages and games. There are no guest accounts, no signup, and no purchase required. You do not have to buy anything from a participating business to play.

Businesses and sponsors. Participating businesses and advertisers may hold accounts. You must give accurate information, be authorized to act for the business, and be at least 18. You are responsible for what happens through your account.

Children. The Service is intended for a general audience. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13, and advertising is never targeted using personal information.

2. What we provide

A digital engagement platform that participating businesses can make available to guests. Features may include menus, specials, events, casual games, advertisements, sponsor listings, and QR codes. Features may change or be removed at any time.

We are not the restaurant, venue, merchant, advertiser, event organizer, or seller of any third-party goods or services shown through the Service.

3. Free for businesses and guests

Hosting is free to participating businesses and free to guests. "Free" applies to the features we currently offer without charge. It is not a promise that every future feature will be free. We may offer optional paid upgrades.

We may suspend or discontinue a business page for abuse, illegality, security concerns, inactivity, or violation of these Terms.

4. Business content

Participating businesses are responsible for the accuracy and legality of information on their page, including prices, menu items, ingredients, allergen information, hours, specials, events, and age restrictions. Guests should confirm allergen and ingredient information directly with the business before ordering.

We may create a business page using publicly available information. A business may claim, correct, update, or ask us to remove its page at any time, and we will honor a removal request.

Businesses grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, resize, format, and display content they submit, as needed to operate and promote the Service. Businesses confirm they have the rights to that content.

5. Games

Our games are entertainment only.

There is no entry fee, no wager, no purchase necessary, and no prize. Playing does not win you money, merchandise, coupons, discounts, credits, or anything else of value from us or from anyone else. Nothing about game outcomes is tracked, scored across sessions, or redeemable. Advertisements are displayed alongside or between rounds; seeing an advertisement is not a prize and clicking one earns you nothing.

Game results, randomization, cards, boards, and timers are not certified gaming equipment and must not be relied on for regulated gambling, lotteries, raffles, or licensed bingo.

6. Venue-run events

A business may decide to organize its own event using our game tools. Providing a game interface does not mean we sponsor, conduct, administer, license, or supervise that event.

A business that charges an entry fee, requires a purchase, accepts donations, or awards cash, drinks, merchandise, or other prizes is doing so on its own and is solely responsible for it. That includes determining whether the activity is legal and obtaining any license, permit, or approval required by federal, state, tribal, county, or municipal law, along with age restrictions, prize limits, recordkeeping, and taxes.

Businesses may not use the Service to conduct illegal gambling or an unlawful bingo, lottery, raffle, contest, or sweepstakes. We may disable features or terminate access if we reasonably believe the Service is being used unlawfully.

We do not determine whether a particular event is lawful. A business attaching payment or prizes to a game should get its own legal guidance.

7. Sponsors and advertising

Sponsors may purchase advertising placement. Placement runs according to the plan purchased. Unless a written order guarantees a specific number of views, clicks, locations, or results, none are guaranteed. The number and identity of participating businesses will change over time.

If we fail to deliver purchased placement, our sole responsibility is to run replacement placement or issue a pro-rata credit.

Sponsorship does not include category exclusivity unless purchased in writing. A participating business may ask us not to run a direct competitor's advertising on its own page.

Sponsors are responsible for the truthfulness, legality, and required disclosures of their advertisements and landing pages, and for holding any license their advertised business requires. We may reject, pause, reformat, or remove advertising that violates these Terms, our advertising policy, applicable law, or reasonable brand-safety standards.

8. Advertising categories

The Service reaches a general audience in public venues, so we limit what we accept. We do not accept advertising from liquor stores, tobacco or vape retailers, cannabis businesses, adult entertainment or sexually oriented businesses, firearms or ammunition sellers, payday or high-cost lenders, or any unlicensed gambling operation.

We may accept informational listings from licensed on-premise establishments such as bars, restaurants serving alcohol, and licensed gaming establishments. Those listings may identify the business and what it offers. They may not advertise alcohol prices, drink specials, free drinks, or any price-based alcohol promotion, and they may not depict or encourage excessive consumption. Sporting goods and outdoor retailers may advertise the business generally but not firearms, ammunition, or related products.

We may decline or remove any advertising for any reason.

9. Sponsor payments

Sponsorships are billed at the interval shown at checkout and renew automatically until canceled. Sponsors may cancel future renewal through their account or by contacting us. Cancellation ends future billing but does not refund the current period. Payments are non-refundable except where required by law.

We will give advance notice before a renewal price increase. Prices exclude applicable taxes. Promotional or founding rates apply only on the terms offered when purchased, and may end if sponsorship lapses.

10. Affiliate links and endorsement

Some advertisements or links may be affiliate placements, and we may earn a commission if you click or purchase. Advertising placements are labeled as advertising. Where we make a recommendation or endorsement with a material connection, we will disclose it clearly near that content.

The appearance of an advertisement, sponsor, business listing, or link does not mean we endorse, verify, or guarantee it. A participating business displaying Wait Playfully does not endorse the sponsors shown through it. Transactions with third parties are between you and that third party.

11. Prohibited content and uses

Beyond the advertising limits above, we may refuse or remove any business, sponsor, advertisement, or content involving illegal products or conduct; fraud, impersonation, malware, phishing, or spam; hate, threats, harassment, or unlawful discrimination; infringement of intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights; or anything we reasonably determine is unsafe, deceptive, unlawful, or materially offensive to a general audience.

You may not scrape, probe, overload, reverse engineer, or attempt unauthorized access to the Service; use bots or scripts to generate artificial views, clicks, or game activity; upload malicious code; misrepresent your identity or authority; or use the Service in violation of law or another person's rights.

12. Intellectual property

The Wait Playfully name, branding, design, software, and original materials are owned by Clear Flow Media or its licensors. These Terms transfer no ownership. Third-party names and logos belong to their owners.

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at the address on waitplayfully.com. We will respond in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and may remove content or terminate repeat infringers.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without restriction or compensation.

13. Privacy

Guests do not create accounts and are not asked for any personal information. We do not ask for or store names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment information from guests, and we do not use advertising trackers or cookies that follow a guest across other websites.

We count page views to measure how often a business page is viewed. IP addresses are anonymized before we store them and are used only to distinguish unique views. We report aggregate view counts to participating businesses and sponsors. Those reports do not identify individual people.

Our web hosting provider automatically records standard server log information, including IP addresses, browser type, and requested pages, for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. These logs are generated by the hosting infrastructure rather than by Wait Playfully. We do not use them to identify visitors, build profiles, or target advertising, and they are retained only for the provider's standard log retention period (currently 7 days).

Business and sponsor accounts require the information needed to administer the account, billing, and communications.

Our Privacy Policy describes these practices in full and controls over this summary.

14. Third-party services and availability

The Service relies on third parties including payment processors, hosting, and email providers, and links to external sites. Their terms apply to your use of them. We are not responsible for services outside our control.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability, that games will work on every device, or that QR codes or third-party links will always resolve.

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will provide notice through the Service or account communications. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance, to the extent permitted by law.

15. Disclaimers

16. Limitation of liability

17. Indemnification

Business and sponsor users will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Clear Flow Media LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, and agents from claims, losses, penalties, damages, and reasonable costs arising from that user's content, advertising, products, promotions, prizes, venue-run events, violation of law, violation of these Terms, or infringement of another person's rights.

18. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access for violation of these Terms, nonpayment, fraud, security risk, unlawful activity, or abuse. Provisions that should survive termination by their nature, including payment obligations, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and dispute terms, will survive.

19. Disputes, governing law, and venue

These Terms are governed by Wisconsin law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any court proceeding will be brought in a state or federal court with jurisdiction over Rock County, Wisconsin, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Before filing suit, a business or sponsor user agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending us a written description of the issue and the resolution requested. This does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or using small-claims court.

20. General

Business and sponsor users consent to receive transactional communications about their account, billing, security, and service changes. Marketing communications are subject to applicable law and opt-out rights.

You may not assign your account or rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any sponsor order or checkout terms form the entire agreement between you and Clear Flow Media regarding the Service. Where specific written sponsor terms conflict with these Terms, the sponsor terms control for that sponsorship.
