Food Trucks East Coast Terms of Service

Last Updated: August 25, 2026

This website and platform are operated by Food Trucks East Coast. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Food Trucks East Coast (“FTEC”). Food Trucks East Coast offers this website and related services, including all information, tools, and Services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated here.

These Terms apply to Food Trucks East Coast websites, tools, forms, newsletters, future owner tools, advertising inquiry workflows, and related services, including foodtruckseastcoast.com.

By visiting our site, claiming a profile, registering for an owner account, signing up for a newsletter, submitting an advertising inquiry, and/or purchasing features or services from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”, “Terms”), including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, food truck owners, merchants, advertisers, and/or contributors of content.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using our website. By accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any Services. If these Terms of Service are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms of Service.

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, share, and retain information across Food Trucks East Coast services, including foodtruckseastcoast.com.

Some features described in these Terms may be available now, may be limited, or may be added, changed, paused, or discontinued over time. Any new features or tools which are added to the current platform shall also be subject to the Terms of Service. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page. We reserve the right to update, change, or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and/or changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

1. Eligibility and Geographic Scope

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

The Service is specifically built for community members, food truck operators, and vendors located within or visiting East Coast communities from Maine through Florida. You may not use our products or Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose nor may you, in the use of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction.

2. Directory Information, Platform Data, and Owner Updates

To build and maintain a useful community directory for consumers, food truck operators, event organizers, and local businesses, FTEC may create, receive, review, organize, update, and display food truck and related business information as part of the Services.

• Directory Information: You acknowledge and agree that FTEC may create, organize, display, update, enhance, and maintain informational directory profiles for food trucks and related vendors. Directory profiles may include business names, general service areas, cuisine types, descriptions, schedules, menus, links, contact details, media, and other information that helps users discover and connect with food trucks.
• Owner Claims and Verification: Food truck owners or authorized representatives (“Owners”) may request to claim or manage a business profile. Once reviewed and approved by FTEC, Owners may be allowed to submit updates, correct information, add details, request changes, or request removal of certain information, subject to FTEC review and platform standards.
• Accuracy of Information: Directory information may be received, reviewed, edited, updated, or removed over time. FTEC does not guarantee that all information displayed on the Service is accurate, complete, current, or available at any particular time. Information on the Service is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for decisions. Users should confirm details directly with the applicable food truck, vendor, event organizer, or business before traveling, ordering, booking, purchasing, or making other decisions. Any reliance on information made available through the Service is at your own risk.
• Proprietary Compilation: The way FTEC collects, reviews, organizes, structures, enhances, displays, and maintains directory information is proprietary to FTEC. Nothing in these Terms grants any user, owner, advertiser, competitor, or third party any right to access, copy, extract, reverse engineer, replicate, or commercially exploit FTEC’s underlying data processes, compilations, review methods, platform systems, or business methods.

3. General Conditions and Profile Integrity

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

You understand that your content (not including credit card information), may be transferred unencrypted and involve (a) transmissions over various networks; and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. Credit card information is always encrypted during transfer over networks.

Food truck owners who claim their profiles agree to provide current, complete, and accurate business and account information. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address, operating locations, and phone numbers, so that we can maintain platform reliability and contact you as needed.

4. Food Truck Owner Accounts, Portal Access, and Approval

Food truck owner registration is intended only for food truck owners or authorized representatives. Owner accounts, listing claims, new listing requests, profile updates, and other submissions may require FTEC review, verification, and approval.

Submitting information to FTEC does not guarantee approval, publication, timing, placement, visibility, continued display, or availability of any profile, listing, feature, or update. FTEC may approve, reject, edit, format, normalize, delay, suspend, limit, or remove submitted information at its discretion.

Owners are responsible for ensuring that all information they submit is accurate, lawful, current, authorized, and does not infringe the rights of any third party. Owners are also responsible for keeping their submitted information reasonably up to date and for promptly notifying FTEC of material changes that may affect the accuracy or legality of their listing.

5. Account Access and Security

You are responsible for maintaining access to the email account used for FTEC login links and for any activity associated with your account. You agree not to request access to listings, accounts, or admin areas you are not authorized to manage. FTEC may monitor, log, limit, suspend, or block access attempts for security, abuse prevention, fraud prevention, or operational reasons.

6. Administrative Review and Discretion

FTEC may use administrative review processes for owner accounts, listing claims, listing updates, advertising inquiries, newsletter administration, and related operational needs. FTEC decisions may take time and may be based on available information, verification needs, business judgment, community safety, and platform integrity.

7. Newsletters and Email Communications

If you sign up for an FTEC newsletter, you agree to receive email updates from Food Trucks East Coast. You may unsubscribe or update preferences where those tools are available. We may use your submitted preferences to send more relevant updates and to understand general audience interest by market.

If you unsubscribe from emails, FTEC may retain limited records needed to honor your unsubscribe request and prevent accidental re-subscription. Unsubscribe is different from a request to delete personal information, which may be reviewed under the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8. Advertising, Sponsorship, and Media Kit

Advertising Inquiries. Advertising inquiry forms are for business development and internal review only. Submitting an advertising inquiry does not create an advertising agreement, guarantee approval, reserve inventory, guarantee placement, guarantee results, or require FTEC to provide pricing, availability, or campaign services. Any advertising, sponsorship, placement, or campaign relationship may be subject to separate written terms, insertion orders, invoices, creative requirements, review, and approval.

Media Kit and Pricing. Any media kit, rate card, starter pricing, internal pricing notes, placement availability, campaign notes, or proposal materials provided by FTEC may be confidential or subject to change. Unless expressly published by FTEC, such materials may not be copied, redistributed, or treated as a binding offer.

Creative Review and Brand Safety. FTEC may review, reject, request edits to, pause, or remove advertising or sponsorship creative for quality, accuracy, legal, brand safety, technical, or editorial reasons. Advertisers are responsible for ensuring their submitted creative, links, images, claims, and offers are accurate, lawful, and authorized.

Aggregated Audience Information. FTEC may use aggregated, de-identified, or summary information about audience interests, market demand, subscriber counts, city or region preferences, newsletter interest categories, sponsorship interest, and campaign/source performance for internal planning, editorial planning, advertising, sponsorship, and business reporting. Such summaries are intended to describe audience trends and should not identify individual subscribers.

9. Strict Prohibitions on Website Scraping and Automated Access

The compiled, sorted, and structured index of food trucks, schedules, menus, geolocation data, and user reviews on FTEC represents a massive investment of technical resources and proprietary compilation. We strictly protect this layout and data from unauthorized commercial exploitation and automated harvesting.

In addition to other prohibitions set forth in these Terms, you are explicitly prohibited from using the site or its content:

1. For any unlawful purpose or to solicit others to perform unlawful acts.
2. To violate any international, federal, or state regulations, rules, laws, or local ordinances.
3. To spam, phish, pharm, pretext, spider, crawl, or scrape any portion of the Service or its data.
4. To use any robot, spider, scraper, site search/retrieval application, or other automated device, process, or script to access, retrieve, index, or data-mine any portion of the Service, Service Content, or underlying database.
5. To extract or harvest information about food trucks or users from FTEC for the purpose of constructing, populating, or replicating a searchable database, directory, or competing service.
6. To bypass, override, or circumvent any technological measures or security features designed to limit or control access to the Service, including robots.txt protocols, IP rate-limiting, or CAPTCHA-based defenses.
7. To interfere with or circumvent the security features of the Service or any related website, other websites, or the Internet.
8. To take any action that imposes, or may impose in our sole discretion, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our server or network infrastructure.

Enforcement Action: Unauthorized scraping constitutes a material breach of contract. FTEC reserves the right to deploy technical blocks, ban IP addresses, terminate accounts, and pursue civil legal remedies or financial damages under applicable state and federal laws, including breach of contract and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).

10. Modifications to the Service and Prices

Prices for our premium features, advertising placements, or truck owner tools are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part or content thereof) without notice at any time. We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

11. User Comments, Feedback, and Content Submissions

If, at our request, you send certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us you send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, food truck reviews, photographs, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, 'comments'), you agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that you forward to us. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.

You agree that your comments will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right. You further agree that your comments will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the Service. You may not use a false e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any comments. You are solely responsible for any comments you make and their accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party.

12. Third-Party Links, Optional Tools, and Service Providers

We may provide you with access to third-party tools (such as mapping services or schedule integration tools) over which we neither monitor nor have any control nor input. You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to such tools ”as is” and “as available” without any warranties, representations or conditions of any kind and without any endorsement. We shall have no liability whatsoever arising from or relating to your use of optional third-party tools.

Certain content, products, and Services available via our Service may include materials from third-parties. Third-party links on this site may direct you to third-party websites (such as a food truck's independent website or payment portal) that are not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating the content or accuracy and we do not warrant and will not have any liability or responsibility for any third-party materials or websites, or for any other materials, products, or Services of third-parties.

Some Services may rely on third-party providers for hosting, security, authentication, email delivery, analytics, spam prevention, storage, and database operations. Your use of the Services may involve interactions with those providers as described in our Privacy Policy.

13. Errors, Inaccuracies, and Omissions

Occasionally there may be information on our site or in the Service that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, food truck operational hours, transit times, and structural locations. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, and to change or update information or cancel premium orders if any information in the Service or on any related website is inaccurate at any time without prior notice.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability

We do not guarantee, represent, or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We do not warrant that the results that may be obtained from the use of the service will be accurate or reliable.

You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the service is at your sole risk. The service and all products and Services delivered to you through the platform are provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any representation, warranties, or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

In no case shall Food Trucks East Coast, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers, or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the service, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the service or any content posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the service, even if advised of their possibility.

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Food Trucks East Coast and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.

16. Severability, Termination, and Entire Agreement

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes. These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease using our site.

The failure of us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. These Terms of Service and any policies or operating rules posted by us on this site constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, and proposals.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

• Governing Law: These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
• Mandatory Individual Arbitration: You and Food Trucks East Coast agree that any legal claim, cause of action, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service must be resolved exclusively by binding, individual arbitration. Class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted; you and we may bring a claim only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other users or food truck operators.
• Venue Selection: For any disputes or exceptions not eligible for or subject to arbitration, you agree that they will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located within Escambia County, Florida, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
