Terms of Service

Welcome to Happy Hour Compass. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Happy Hour Compass website and services (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Yellow Lab Software (“we”, “us”, or “our”), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.

Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

By creating an account, submitting a venue claim, using the Service as a consumer, or otherwise accessing any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Last Updated” date and, where appropriate, providing notice within the Service or by email. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. Happy Hour Compass is a platform related to bars, restaurants, and establishments that serve alcohol. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old (or the legal drinking age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

If you are using the Service on behalf of a business entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

Happy Hour Compass provides consumers with a free service to discover happy hours, restaurant and bar listings, events, and related information. No account is required to browse the Service as a consumer.

Accuracy of venue information: Venue information displayed on Happy Hour Compass, including happy hour times, menus, prices, and hours of operation, is provided by venue operators or sourced from publicly available data. This information may not always be current, complete, or accurate. You should verify venue information directly with the venue before visiting. We are not responsible for any loss or inconvenience resulting from reliance on information displayed on the Service.

Consumers may optionally create a free account to save venues, events, and guides, and to personalize their use of the Service. Creating a consumer account is subject to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Future versions of the Service may offer personalized recommendations and other additional features, which will be subject to these Terms and any additional terms presented at the time of introduction.

By using the Service, you agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable law.

Happy Hour Compass offers paid operator plans that provide enhanced features and visibility for venue listings. By subscribing to a paid plan, you agree to the pricing, features, and terms presented at the time of subscription.

Plan features and pricing may change over time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes to pricing or plan features.

Subscriptions are managed through your Operator Admin portal. Access to paid plan features is contingent on maintaining an active subscription and an active venue account in good standing.

Payments for paid operator plans are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor. By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize us (via Stripe) to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis.

All fees are displayed in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for any applicable taxes associated with your subscription.

If a payment fails, we may suspend access to paid features until the outstanding balance is resolved. We will attempt to notify you of any payment failure.

All fees paid for Happy Hour Compass subscriptions are non-refundable, except where required by applicable law. This includes fees paid for partial billing periods.

If you believe you have been charged in error, please contact us promptly at support@happyhourcompass.com and we will review your request.

Consumers in certain jurisdictions may have statutory rights to refunds or cancellation periods. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you may have under applicable consumer protection legislation.
