11. AI DATA PROCESSING & OPT-IN SERVICES
11.1 AI-Powered Features (Opt-In)
TablePort may offer optional AI-powered features, insights, and analytics products ("AI Services") within the business dashboard settings. These AI Services may involve processing Customer Data by third-party AI providers.
11.2 Third-Party AI Providers
AI Services may utilize third-party artificial intelligence platforms including, but not limited to:
- Anthropic (Claude)
- OpenAI (ChatGPT, GPT models)
- Perplexity AI
- Other AI service providers as specified in the dashboard settings
11.3 Opt-In Consent
(a) AI Services are entirely optional and disabled by default.
(b) By enabling AI Services in the business dashboard settings, Customer explicitly consents to:
- Processing of Customer Data by TablePort's selected AI providers
- Transfer of necessary data to third-party AI platforms for processing
- Use of Customer Data to generate AI-powered insights, recommendations, and analytics
(c) Customer may revoke consent and disable AI Services at any time through the business dashboard settings.
11.4 AI Data Processing Terms
When AI Services are enabled:
(a) Data Minimization: TablePort will only share data necessary for the specific AI Service functionality
(b) Provider Terms: Third-party AI providers are bound by their own privacy policies and terms of service. TablePort will select providers with appropriate data protection standards.
(c) No Training: Where technically feasible, TablePort will configure AI services to prevent Customer Data from being used to train AI models (e.g., using zero-retention API options).
(d) Data Retention: TablePort and its AI providers will not retain Customer Data longer than necessary to provide the AI Service, except as required by law.

(b) TablePort makes no warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, or suitability of AI-generated content
(c) Customer is solely responsible for reviewing and validating any AI-generated recommendations before implementation
11.7 Marketing Communications (Opt-In)
11.7.1 Data Controller and Processor Roles
When Customer uses the Marketing Suite to send email communications to their subscribers, Customer acts as the Data Controller for all subscriber personal data (including names, email addresses, and engagement history) and TablePort acts as a Data Processor processing that data solely on Customer's documented instructions. The obligations in Schedule 1 (Data Processing Agreement) apply to all Marketing Suite data processing.
11.7.2 Lawful Basis and Consent Requirement
(a) Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that a valid lawful basis exists under UK GDPR Article 6(1) for every marketing communication sent through the Marketing Suite.
(b) Customer must comply with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). Customer may send direct electronic marketing to an individual only where Customer can demonstrate either: (i) valid consent that is freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous; or (ii) that the PECR "soft opt-in" applies because Customer obtained the contact details directly during a sale or negotiation for a sale, markets only Customer's own similar products or services, gave a simple opportunity to refuse or opt out when the details were collected, and gives that opportunity in every subsequent message.
(c) Customer must record and retain evidence of the route relied on for each recipient and must not send marketing emails to any recipient who: (i) has no valid consent or applicable soft opt-in; (ii) has objected, unsubscribed, or withdrawn consent; or (iii) is recorded on Customer's suppression list. A UK GDPR lawful basis does not by itself satisfy PECR.
11.7.3 Unsubscribe and Suppression Obligations
(a) Every marketing email sent through the Marketing Suite must include a clearly visible and functional unsubscribe mechanism.
(b) Customer acknowledges that unsubscribe requests are processed automatically by the platform; Customer must not remove, suppress, or override unsubscribe records.
(c) Customer must maintain and honour a suppression list of contacts who have withdrawn consent, and must not re-add suppressed contacts to active marketing lists.
11.7.4 Data Minimisation and Retention
(a) Customer must only collect and process subscriber personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed (UK GDPR Article 5(1)(c)).
(b) Customer must delete or anonymise subscriber data that is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, or upon withdrawal of consent.
11.7.5 Subscriber Rights
Subscribers have the right to withdraw consent at any time without detriment. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal. Customer must ensure that withdrawal of consent results in prompt cessation of marketing communications and removal from active lists.
11.7.6 Customer Indemnity for Marketing Compliance
Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TablePort from any claims, penalties, fines, or regulatory actions arising from Customer's failure to comply with PECR, UK GDPR, or any other applicable law governing direct marketing, including but not limited to: sending marketing to individuals without valid consent, failure to honour unsubscribe requests, and inaccurate or misleading email content.
11.7.7 Promotions, Guest Promises, and Reviews
(a) This clause applies whenever Customer uses the Services to create, publish, deliver, track, administer, or record any promotion, incentive, discount, competition, loyalty benefit, complimentary item, future-booking benefit, guest promise, or review request (each a "Customer Promotion").
(b) Customer is the promoter, merchant, and party making each Customer Promotion to its guests. Customer is solely responsible for ensuring that each Customer Promotion is lawful, accurate, not misleading, and supported by clear and prominent material terms, including eligibility, quantity, validity, availability, exclusions, redemption, cancellation, and any geographic or age restrictions. Customer is also responsible for staff training and fulfilment; pricing, tax, refund, and consumer-protection treatment; food safety and allergen information; age and identity checks; alcohol licensing and regional restrictions; and compliance with all applicable advertising codes and third-party platform rules.
(c) Customer must never offer, promise, or provide money, a discount, a free or complimentary item or service, loyalty value, or any other benefit in exchange for posting, changing, selecting the rating of, suppressing, or removing a review. Customer must not conceal an incentivised review, review-gate guests, or selectively solicit positive reviews. Customer must keep a Customer Promotion separate from any review request where their proximity could imply that the benefit is conditional on reviewing.
(d) TablePort supplies technical authoring, delivery, attribution, warning, and staff-acknowledgement tools. TablePort is not the promoter or supplier of the Customer Promotion and does not create, approve, verify, guarantee, redeem, or fulfil it. A platform warning, template, validation rule, technical block, tracking record, or staff acknowledgement does not constitute legal approval, does not prove that an item was supplied or consumed, and does not transfer Customer's responsibilities to TablePort.
(e) TablePort may refuse, remove, suspend, or disable a Customer Promotion or related use of the Services where TablePort reasonably believes it may be unlawful, misleading, unsafe, abusive, or contrary to a third-party platform's rules, but TablePort has no general obligation to monitor Customer Promotions.
(f) Sections 5.9 and 11.7.6 apply to claims, losses, penalties, chargebacks, refunds, regulatory action, or third-party disputes arising from a Customer Promotion or Customer's failure to administer or fulfil it. Nothing in this clause excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, or relieves TablePort of responsibility for its own acts or omissions under this Agreement and applicable law.
11.7.8 Message Classification: Marketing and Service Messages
(a) The Services allow Customer to classify certain automated emails as either marketing messages (sent only in accordance with clause 11.7.2) or service messages (sent without marketing consent on the basis that they are not direct marketing under PECR, such as a private post-visit feedback request).
(b) Customer is solely responsible for each classification and for keeping the content of every message consistent with it. A message classified as a service message must be strictly administrative or customer-service in nature and must not contain advertising or marketing material of any kind, including offers, discounts, complimentary items, incentives, re-booking or upsell calls to action, loyalty promotions, or solicitations conditioned on a benefit. Customer acknowledges that under PECR and ICO guidance a message containing any direct-marketing element counts as direct marketing even where that is not its main purpose, and that neutral tone alone does not prevent a message from being direct marketing.
(c) Feedback or survey responses collected through a service message must not be used to build, enrich, or score marketing lists or segments, or to target direct marketing, unless Customer has established a separate lawful basis and, where required, consent for that use.
(d) TablePort provides technical assistance only, such as blocking known promotional content blocks in service messages and displaying warnings and acknowledgements. In accordance with clause 11.7.7(d), such measures do not constitute legal advice or approval, do not guarantee that a message qualifies as a service message under applicable law, and do not transfer any of Customer's responsibilities to TablePort. Customer remains solely responsible for every message sent under a service classification, and clause 11.7.6 (Customer Indemnity for Marketing Compliance) applies to any claim, penalty, fine, or regulatory action arising from a misclassified or non-compliant message.
(e) TablePort may reclassify a message or automation as marketing, or refuse, suspend, or disable sending, where TablePort reasonably believes a service classification is inaccurate or is being misused, but TablePort has no general obligation to monitor Customer's classifications or content.
12. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither party shall be liable for any delay or failure in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, fire, flood, earthquake, war, terrorism, riots, civil disorder, strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, or failures of third-party services (including internet, cloud, or payment infrastructure), provided that the affected party promptly notifies the other party and uses reasonable efforts to minimize the impact.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict of law provisions.
13.2 Jurisdiction

13.3 Informal Resolution
The parties agree to attempt to resolve disputes through informal, good faith negotiations. Either party may initiate this by sending written notice outlining the dispute and requesting a meeting.
13.4 Mandatory Mediation
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within thirty (30) days, the parties agree to submit to mediation in England under the rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), with costs shared equally. This requirement is waived for disputes qualifying for small claims court.
13.5 Arbitration
If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, either party may request binding arbitration in England under LCIA rules. The prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable legal fees and costs. This clause does not preclude seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
13.6 Class Action Waiver
(a) The parties agree that any proceedings will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither party will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or any other proceeding in which either party acts in a representative capacity.
(b) No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without prior written consent of all parties.
(c) If this Class Action Waiver is held unenforceable, the entirety of Section 13.6 will be deemed void, but all other provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.
13.7 Limitation on Claims
No claim may be brought against TablePort more than one (1) year after the time the claim arises.
14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1 Assignment
(a) Customer may not assign, transfer, or sublicense this Agreement without TablePort's prior written consent.
(b) TablePort may freely transfer and assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent.
14.2 Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes all previous written and oral agreements, communications, and understandings relating to the subject matter. All waivers and modifications must be in writing signed by both parties.
14.3 Amendments
TablePort may modify this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days' written notice. Continued use of the Services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the modifications.
14.4 Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
14.5 No Agency
No agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship is created as a result of this Agreement. Customer does not have authority to bind TablePort in any respect.

14.7 Prevailing Party
In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys' fees.
14.8 Waiver
No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.

A.5.7 Marketing Suite
Marketing Suite is an optional add-on that provides email campaign creation, audience segmentation, automated workflows, and revenue attribution reporting. It is not included in the Software Services subscription. Customer must opt in to Marketing Suite separately, and once active it is billed monthly alongside the Software Services subscription and is subject to a usage allowance as described below.
| Description | Monthly Fee (excl. VAT) | VAT (20%) | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marketing Suite (paid subscription) | £99.00 | £19.80 | £118.80 |
The paid Marketing Suite subscription includes 10,000 sends per calendar month. Sends consumed beyond the included allowance are charged at £10.00 per additional 1,000 sends (excl. VAT), rounded up to the nearest 1,000. VAT at 20% applies to overage charges for UK customers.
There is no free send allowance. While Marketing Suite is not active on Customer's account the sending allowance is zero, and TablePort makes no marketing sends on Customer's behalf.
Automations do not run while Marketing Suite is not active. Any automation step that falls due during a period in which the add-on is inactive is treated as consumed and is not sent afterwards, including after Customer subscribes or resubscribes. A message timed to a guest's visit is not delivered weeks later, once it is no longer accurate.
TablePort may at its sole discretion grant a Customer a complimentary quantity of sends. Any such grant is a one-off goodwill balance and not a recurring entitlement. It does not renew, it does not reset at the start of a calendar month or billing period, and it confers no continuing right to send once it is exhausted.
Overage charges are calculated at the end of each billing period and appear as a separate line item on the monthly invoice. Current send consumption can be monitored at any time in the Marketing section of the TablePort dashboard.
