Effective Date: July 17, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of the website at www.vlorefoodsplus.com and its pages, forms, uploads, content, and features (collectively, the "Site"). "Vlore Foods+," "Vlore," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the operator of the Site.

By accessing the Site, submitting information or files, requesting a sample, quote, savings analysis, or other service, applying for a position, or otherwise using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Site for a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement.

If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site.

1. Scope of the Site and the Vlore Brand Ecosystem

The Site presents an integrated group of restaurant-oriented products and services, which may include bakery products, sauces and private-label products, menu design and printing, websites, online ordering, menu boards, point-of-sale systems, payment-processing solutions, equipment, installation, support, savings reviews, and related services.

The Site may promote or link to Vlore Bakery, Hot Brand-It, Vlore POS+, Vlore Shift4, Swipe Saver, Fresh Print Menu, distributors, payment processors, acquiring banks, equipment manufacturers, online stores, and other affiliated or independent providers. A shared trade name, common marketing presentation, or link does not by itself establish that every brand or provider is the same legal entity or that each is responsible for another party's obligations.

Marketing statements such as "one partner," "sign up once," or "one contract" describe the intended customer experience only. They do not create a contract, identify the contracting legal entity, combine separate companies, or override the written agreements that apply to a particular product or service.

2. Separate Commercial Agreements and Order of Precedence

These Terms govern use of the Site. Purchases, samples, food distribution, private-label projects, menu or website projects, equipment placements, software subscriptions, online ordering, payment processing, cash-discount or dual-pricing programs, installation, support, and other commercial services may be governed by separate documents, including a quote, order form, statement of work, merchant application, merchant agreement, processor or acquiring-bank agreement, equipment agreement, promotion terms, warranty, distributor terms, or third-party terms (each, a "Specific Agreement").

• Specific Agreement controls
  A signed or accepted Specific Agreement controls over these Terms for the transaction or service it covers.
• Processor and financial-institution terms control
  For payment acceptance, settlement, chargebacks, reserves, card-network requirements, and related financial services, the applicable processor, acquiring-bank, card-network, or program terms control.
• Third-party storefront terms control
  Orders placed through Shopify, a distributor, marketplace, or another linked storefront are governed by that storefront or seller's terms and policies unless the responsible seller expressly adopts these Terms.
• Promotion terms control
  Written offer-specific terms control eligibility, exclusions, benefit amounts, timing, claim procedures, and any repayment or equipment-return obligations.

If documents conflict, the more specific document controls the specific subject, followed by the later document signed or affirmatively accepted by the applicable parties. Nothing on the Site changes an existing signed agreement unless the responsible contracting party agrees in writing.

3. Eligibility, Business Authority, and Accurate Information

The Site is directed primarily to restaurants, merchants, and other businesses. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information. You may submit information about a business only if you are its owner, an authorized representative, or otherwise legally permitted to do so.

You are responsible for confirming that the person who submits an application, accepts a proposal, approves a proof, or signs an agreement has the necessary authority. We may request evidence of identity, ownership, authority, licensure, or business status and may refuse or suspend a request when information cannot be verified.

4. Site Information, Availability, and Corrections

We try to present accurate and current information, but descriptions, photographs, ingredient summaries, product dimensions, compatibility statements, distributor availability, prices, fees, savings examples, implementation timelines, and other Site content may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Images may be illustrative and packaging or equipment may vary.

We may correct errors, update information, limit quantities or availability, substitute functionally comparable items where permitted by the applicable agreement, or modify or discontinue Site content and offerings at any time. Site content is not a binding quote or warranty unless expressly incorporated into a Specific Agreement.

5. Pricing, Profit Examples, and Promotional Offers

Prices and fees shown on the Site are subject to change and may exclude taxes, shipping, installation, connectivity, third-party services, card-network assessments, equipment accessories, supplies, implementation work, or other charges. A final quote or Specific Agreement controls.

Statements concerning "free" services, $0 upfront hardware, no software fees, monthly prices, no contracts, switch bonuses, cash-back or price-beat guarantees, processing savings, food cost, selling price, net profit, margin lift, implementation in days, locations served, or similar claims are subject to the written terms, assumptions, and evidence supporting the specific claim.

• Eligibility may vary
  An offer may depend on underwriting, processor and equipment approval, transaction volume and mix, current statements, contract term, geographic availability, qualifying purchases, distributor availability, minimum quantities, timely installation, taxes, shipping, and completion of required documents.
• Examples are not guarantees
  Menu prices, food costs, profit calculations, margin examples, savings estimates, and business results are illustrative unless a written guarantee expressly says otherwise. Actual results depend on your costs, pricing, labor, waste, volume, taxes, market conditions, operating decisions, and other factors.
• Material terms must be in writing
  A promotional statement is not a binding guarantee unless the responsible provider supplies written terms identifying the offer period, eligibility, exclusions, comparison method, benefit amount, claim process, payment timing, and any other material conditions.
• No stacking unless stated
  Offers may not be combined unless the written offer terms expressly permit it.

6. Merchant Statements and Processing Savings Reviews

If you submit a merchant-processing statement or related commercial record, you represent that you are authorized to provide it and request an analysis for the identified business. You authorize us to review the document and disclose relevant information to the affiliated or independent payment processors, acquiring banks, independent sales organizations, POS providers, consultants, and service providers reasonably involved in evaluating options or preparing a proposal.

Any analysis depends on the completeness and accuracy of the statement and on assumptions concerning transaction volume, card mix, average ticket, keyed or card-not-present transactions, chargebacks, network fees, equipment, software, taxes, and other variables. A review or comparison is not approval, a commitment to provide services, or a guarantee of savings.

Do not upload complete payment-card numbers, card verification values, PINs, Social Security numbers, bank-login credentials, passwords, personal medical information, or information unrelated to the requested review. Unless specifically requested through an approved secure channel, redact full bank-account and routing numbers and any unnecessary customer or employee information. We may reject, quarantine, restrict, or delete files containing prohibited or unnecessary sensitive information.

7. POS, Payment Processing, and Merchant Services

Information about POS systems, terminals, payment acceptance, processing, cash-discount or dual-pricing programs, online ordering, loyalty, reservations, reporting, websites, or related financial technology is general information. Approval and availability may depend on underwriting, credit or risk review, processor and acquiring-bank requirements, card-network rules, business type, transaction history, location, equipment compatibility, and other criteria.

Unless a Specific Agreement states otherwise, Vlore is not a bank, card network, or guarantor of settlement. Processing rates, deposits, funding schedules, holds, reserves, chargebacks, retrievals, assessments, network costs, prohibited activities, and termination rights are governed by the applicable merchant and processor documents.

• Merchant compliance
  You are responsible for lawful card acceptance, required disclosures, receipts, refund practices, card-network rules, sanctions and anti-money-laundering obligations that apply to you, and all laws governing your business.
• PCI and account security
  You are responsible for your environment, user access, passwords, network security, device security, staff training, and PCI DSS obligations allocated to you by applicable agreements.
• Pricing programs
  Cash-discount, surcharge, non-cash-adjustment, convenience-fee, and dual-pricing programs are regulated and card-brand sensitive. You must use only approved configurations and signage and must comply with all applicable laws and network rules.
• Third-party services
  Software, hardware, gateways, processors, banks, delivery platforms, telecommunications providers, and integrations may be supplied by third parties and are subject to their own terms, uptime, support, warranties, and limitations.

8. Food Products, Samples, Distribution, and Online Orders

The Site may describe food products or link to samples, distributors, or an online store. Product availability, pricing, minimum quantities, shipping, delivery, returns, refunds, recalls, warranties, and order acceptance are governed by the responsible seller, distributor, or storefront and any Specific Agreement.

You are responsible for reviewing the current product label, ingredient statement, allergen declaration, handling and storage instructions, expiration or best-by information, and other product documentation before purchase, resale, menu use, or service to customers. Recipes, facilities, suppliers, and labels may change. Site descriptions do not replace the actual label or written product specification.

Samples are provided for evaluation only, subject to availability, geographic and quantity limits, and other stated conditions. A sample request does not create a continuing supply obligation, price commitment, exclusive relationship, or guarantee that the product is suitable for your operation or customers.

You must maintain appropriate food handling, sanitation, storage, traceability, recall, menu disclosure, allergen communication, and resale practices. Contact the responsible seller or manufacturer before serving a product when ingredient, allergen, dietary, or handling information is unclear.

9. Private-Label and Customized Products

Private-label bottles, packaging, labels, menus, printed materials, signs, and other customized items may require minimum quantities, approved artwork, proof approval, deposits, lead times, and separate pricing or order terms. Production may not begin until required approvals and payments are received.

You represent that you own or have permission to use every name, logo, image, slogan, trademark, claim, ingredient statement, and other content you submit. You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of customer-provided claims and for obtaining any required trademark, labeling, advertising, alcohol, franchise, or other approvals.

You must review proofs carefully. Approval authorizes production based on the approved proof, including spelling, prices, claims, colors, layout, and contact information. Reasonable differences may occur between on-screen colors, proofs, printed items, labels, displays, and finished products.

10. Menus, Websites, Online Ordering, Creative Services, and Digital Signage

Menu design, printing, websites, domains, online ordering, QR codes, content, branding, photography, digital menu boards, social media assets, and similar services are governed by the applicable proposal or statement of work. Scope, revisions, ownership, hosting, maintenance, third-party subscriptions, accessibility, delivery dates, and post-launch support must be confirmed in writing.

You are responsible for providing accurate menu items, prices, descriptions, hours, addresses, tax settings, delivery zones, policies, allergen and dietary statements, images, legal disclosures, and other business content. You must review and approve all final content before publication, printing, or deployment and promptly report errors.

Services described as free may be conditioned on an active commercial relationship, qualifying purchase, processing agreement, minimum activity, or other written requirement. Domain registration, premium plugins, advertising spend, photography, complex integrations, shipping, reprints, and third-party services may be excluded unless expressly included.

We do not guarantee search-engine ranking, traffic, conversion, sales, accessibility compliance, uninterrupted hosting, approval by a platform, or compatibility with every device, browser, processor, or third-party system.

11. Hardware, Software, Installation, and Support

Hardware and software availability, ownership, lease or placement status, monthly charges, warranty, replacement, shipping, installation, training, connectivity, supplies, and return obligations are governed by the applicable Specific Agreement and manufacturer or provider terms.

You are responsible for a safe and suitable installation site, power, internet service, cabling, network configuration, access to premises, compatible peripherals, and cooperation by your personnel. Delays caused by site readiness, third parties, weather, shipping, permitting, or incomplete information may change implementation dates.

Support hours, channels, response targets, and covered issues depend on the applicable service plan. No system is error-free or continuously available. Planned maintenance, third-party outages, security events, internet failures, equipment damage, force majeure, and other circumstances may interrupt services.

12. Your Operational and Legal Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for operating your business and complying with laws, licenses, permits, taxes, employment requirements, food-safety rules, advertising rules, accessibility requirements, privacy obligations, consumer-protection laws, and industry standards that apply to you.

• Maintain accurate business, tax, banking, ownership, contact, product, menu, pricing, and account information.
• Use products, equipment, software, processing programs, and marketing materials only as authorized and in accordance with applicable instructions and agreements.
• Protect customer, employee, cardholder, applicant, and other personal information in your possession.
• Obtain required notices and consents for online ordering, loyalty, marketing, call recording, employee monitoring, text messaging, cookies, delivery, reservations, or other features you deploy.
• Promptly review statements, invoices, settlements, proofs, orders, and account notices and report suspected errors through the applicable support channel.
• Maintain backup procedures and reasonable business-continuity plans rather than relying on any single system or provider.

13. Accounts, Credentials, and Electronic Records

If the Site or a linked service allows you to create an account, you must safeguard usernames, passwords, access codes, and devices and restrict access to authorized users. You are responsible for activity under your credentials unless applicable law or a Specific Agreement provides otherwise. Notify the responsible provider promptly of suspected unauthorized access.

You consent to receive agreements, disclosures, notices, records, and signatures electronically when you choose to transact electronically. You may retain copies by printing or saving them. Hardware and software requirements and any right to withdraw electronic consent may be described in the applicable electronic-consent disclosure or Specific Agreement.

14. Information and Materials You Submit

You may submit business information, merchant statements, menus, logos, photographs, labels, product data, artwork, applications, resumes, references, feedback, and other materials ("Submitted Materials"). You retain ownership of your Submitted Materials.

You grant Vlore and the providers reasonably involved in your request a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, review, format, transmit, modify, and use Submitted Materials only as reasonably necessary to evaluate or fulfill your request, deliver or support services, maintain records, protect systems and rights, and comply with law. Broader public marketing or portfolio use requires separate permission unless the material is already public and the use is otherwise lawful.

You represent that you have all rights and permissions necessary for the Submitted Materials and that their submission and permitted use will not violate law, contract, confidentiality duties, privacy or publicity rights, trademark, copyright, or other rights. Do not submit confidential trade secrets through a general form unless we direct you to an approved secure channel or enter into an appropriate confidentiality agreement.

Non-confidential ideas, suggestions, and feedback may be used without restriction or compensation. This does not authorize us to use your confidential business files or personal information outside the purposes described in our Privacy Policy and applicable agreements.

15. Service Communications, Marketing, Calls, and Text Messages

When you request information, a sample, a savings review, a quote, an appointment, support, or another service, you authorize Vlore and the providers reasonably involved in that request to contact you by email, telephone, or text for non-marketing communications related to the request. You represent that you control or are authorized to use the contact information provided.

Marketing consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase. If you separately opt in, the sender or senders identified in the consent may send recurring promotional emails, calls, or text messages, including through automated technology where permitted. Message frequency varies; message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of promotional texts by replying STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT, or by using another reasonable method communicated to us. You may receive one confirmation message. Reply HELP for help. Use the unsubscribe link in a promotional email to stop marketing email. Opting out of marketing does not prevent necessary non-marketing communications about a request, transaction, account, contract, safety issue, or legal obligation.

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We may modify or end a messaging program or change the sending number, subject to applicable law.

16. Employment Applications and Recruiting

The Site may allow you to express interest in employment across technology, support, operations, delivery, shipping, sales, marketing, creative, food products, distribution, or other functions and to upload a resume or related materials.

You must provide accurate information and have the right to submit any resume, reference, portfolio, work sample, or other material. Do not submit a Social Security number, driver's-license image, financial-account information, medical details, immigration documents, or other sensitive information unless specifically requested later through an approved process.

Submitting an application does not create an employment relationship, promise an interview, or guarantee consideration or employment. We may contact references and verify information where permitted. Any employment relationship is governed by a separate written offer, policies, and applicable law.

17. Intellectual Property and Limited License

The Site and its text, graphics, photographs, layouts, videos, software, logos, trademarks, service marks, and other content are owned by Vlore, its affiliates, licensors, or other rights holders and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their owners and their appearance does not imply ownership or endorsement beyond the actual relationship.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site for lawful business evaluation and communication. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, scrape, reverse engineer, sell, sublicense, remove rights notices from, or create derivative works from Site content except with written permission or as allowed by law.

18. Prohibited Conduct

You may not use the Site to:

• violate law, another person's rights, a contract, card-network rules, or these Terms;
• submit false, misleading, fraudulent, unauthorized, infringing, defamatory, threatening, or unlawful information or files;
• upload malware, harmful code, complete card credentials, stolen data, or information you are not authorized to disclose;
• probe, scan, bypass, disable, overload, disrupt, or interfere with security, authentication, rate limits, or Site operation;
• impersonate another person or business, misrepresent authority, or attempt unauthorized access to accounts or systems;
• use bots, scraping, harvesting, or automated means except ordinary search-engine indexing or with written permission;
• send spam, unsolicited promotions, or deceptive communications using Site information; or
• use Site content or services to develop a competing database or for unlawful surveillance, discrimination, or profiling.

We may investigate suspected misuse, preserve evidence, restrict access, and cooperate with service providers or authorities as permitted by law.

19. Third-Party Websites, Brands, Platforms, and Providers

The Site may link to or integrate with websites, stores, distributors, processors, banks, POS platforms, delivery services, social networks, video hosts, analytics providers, maps, and other third parties. We do not control their availability, content, pricing, security, accessibility, or privacy practices.

A link, logo, integration, referral, or business relationship does not make Vlore responsible for the third party or the third party responsible for Vlore. Review the applicable terms, privacy notices, contracts, labels, warranties, and support commitments before using a third-party product or service.

20. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how the Site operator collects, uses, discloses, and retains personal information. It is available at https://www.vlorefoodsplus.com/privacy-policy. Privacy practices of linked brands, merchants, processors, distributors, platforms, and other third parties are governed by their own notices unless this Privacy Policy is expressly adopted for their service.

21. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SITE AND SITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." VLORE DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND RESULTS.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that content will be complete or current, that files or communications will be secure, that third-party products or services will be available, or that any product, pricing program, menu, website, promotion, processing arrangement, or business strategy will produce a particular result.

Site content is general commercial information and is not legal, tax, accounting, food-safety, nutrition, employment, financial, accessibility, cybersecurity, or regulatory advice. Obtain advice from qualified professionals for your circumstances.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

22. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VLORE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, SAVINGS, BUSINESS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY; BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THOSE PARTIES FOR SITE-RELATED CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO THE SITE OPERATOR FOR SITE USE DURING THE SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. A different liability limit in a Specific Agreement governs within that agreement's scope.

The limitations do not apply where prohibited by law or to liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

23. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Vlore and its owners, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from claims, losses, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees arising from your unlawful or unauthorized Site use, Submitted Materials, violation of these Terms, misrepresentation of authority, or infringement of another person's rights. We may control the defense, and you may not settle in a way that admits fault by or imposes obligations on an indemnified party without written consent.

24. Suspension and Termination

We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Site or reject a submission when reasonably necessary to protect users, systems, rights, providers, or the public; investigate suspected misconduct; comply with law; or address a violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Site at any time.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including provisions concerning separate agreements, Submitted Materials, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, governing law, and miscellaneous terms.

25. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and claims concerning the Site are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except to the extent a non-waivable law of another jurisdiction applies. Subject to any binding dispute provision in a Specific Agreement, the state and federal courts serving Polk County, Missouri will have exclusive jurisdiction and venue, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction.

These Site Terms do not require arbitration or waive jury or class rights. A different enforceable dispute provision in a separately signed Specific Agreement governs disputes within its scope.

26. Changes to the Site and These Terms

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Material changes apply prospectively unless law permits otherwise. When required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent. Continued use of the Site after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

27. Miscellaneous

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable Specific Agreements govern their respective subject matter. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be modified or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest will continue. Waivers must be written and instance-specific; headings are for convenience.

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale, or transfer of the Site or relevant business. Only the parties and Section 23 indemnified parties are intended beneficiaries.

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including disasters, severe weather, labor or transportation disruption, utility or telecom failure, cyberattack, epidemic, government action, or provider failure.
