By installing, accessing or using any mobile apps, websites, or other digital properties on which these terms are posted or referenced (together, “online services”), you are accepting these Terms and Conditions (hereinafter, the “Terms”). These terms are a binding agreement between you and Arcos Dorados Puerto Rico LLC, Golden Arch Development LLC our affiliates, subsidiaries and franchisees (“McDonald’s”, “we” or “us”). By accepting these terms, you also acknowledge that you understand and you consent to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference into, and part of, these terms. Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, protect, and share information.

Agreement and Legal Capacity

You represent that you have read and understood these terms, and that you have the legal capacity to agree to be bound by these terms.

Use of the online services by any person under the age of 13 is prohibited.

Minors who are at least 13 years old may only use the online services under the supervision of an adult responsible for them. It is that adult’s sole responsibility to monitor the minor’s use of the online services to determine what services and content are appropriate for the minor. Please note that there are parental control products or services available that may assist in this task, none of which is endorsed by or affiliated with us.

Availability of Services

Although some or all the online services may be available in jurisdictions other than Puerto Rico, they are intended only for consumers in Puerto Rico. McDonald's makes no representation that the online services are appropriate or available outside of Puerto Rico. If you use the online services from other locations, you are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. In addition, although the online services may be available throughout Puerto Rico, they may describe products or services that may not be available everywhere in Puerto Rico.

Technical Requirements and Costs

You are solely responsible for any devices, operating systems, software, and services needed to use the online services. McDonald’s does not guarantee that the online services will fully function on any particular device or with any particular operating system, software, or service. You are also solely responsible for any messaging and data charges, fees and taxes for your use of the online services, including when we communicate with you by text, email or other means. You acknowledge that certain uses of the online services (such as using them on a mobile device) may result in higher costs to you than other uses of the online services.

You may only use the online services with devices that you own or control and using only the authorized operating system (for example, iOS for Apple devices).

Changes to the Online Services

McDonald’s may update, modify, limit, or terminate the online services (or your access to them) from time to time and without prior notice, including (but not limited to) by pushing updates to any McDonald’s mobile app that you have installed on your device. Such changes may include (but are not limited to) imposing fees for use of the online services.

Changes to These Terms

McDonald's may amend or substitute these terms without prior notice at any time and at its sole discretion. If McDonald’s makes material changes to the terms, we will notify you by any reasonable means such as by posting the new terms in the online service. If you do not agree to the changed terms, then you must immediately stop using the online services and request that your account be closed.

Accounts and Account Termination

If you create an online services account, you are responsible for keeping the account secure and for all activity under the account. You can only use one online services account and must keep your account information accurate at all times.

Independent Businesses and Restaurants

While we operate and control the online services, we may not be responsible for the operation of many or most restaurants. Many or most restaurants may instead be owned and operated by our independent franchisees or subsidiaries (such franchisees and subsidiaries are together, “restaurants”). Each restaurant is solely and independently responsible for its legal and regulatory compliance, for any issues relating to the supply of the products or services to you, and for any employment related matters in the restaurant.

Privacy Policy

These terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy as part of the terms. Our Privacy Policy describes our information practices, including how we collect, use, protect, and share information.

Communications from Us

Through the online services, you agree to receive emails and text messages to the mobile number you provide to us, as well as push notifications from us. Pursuant to this agreement, you understand and consent that you will receive marketing, transactional and other messages from McDonald’s. McDonald’s may use the information you have provided to us to communicate with you in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

If you do not want to receive marketing communications from us, you can later opt out by following the opt-out instructions in the marketing communications we send you. You can also generally find your communication preferences with instructions on how to opt out in the profile section of the online services that you use. You may also be able to change your communications preferences using your device settings. Please note that for some account-related and transactional communications, the only way to stop receiving these communications may be to close your online services account.

If you do opt out of receiving marketing communications from us, we may still send communications to you about your transactions, any accounts you have with us, and any contests, competitions, prize draws or sweepstakes you have entered. Opting out of one form of communication does not mean you’ve opted out of other forms as well. For example, if you opt out of receiving marketing emails, you may still receive marketing text messages.

Deals

You have the possibility of receiving deals through the online services. The following general terms apply to the deals: (1) the deal may only be available through that particular online service and for the product shown and subject to availability, in participating restaurants only, and until the expiration date; (2) serving times apply (for example, certain non-breakfast deals may not be available at breakfast serving times); (3) unless otherwise stated each deal expires on redemption; (4) only one deal can be used per restaurant visit; (5) deals are not transferable; and (6) there is no cash alternative. In addition, there may be specific terms that apply to the deal which are stated on the app next to the deal.

As part of our right to decide whether, in what way, and for how long to store and make available submissions, we may at any time and without prior notice reject or remove any submissions that constitute a breach of this paragraph or other provisions of these terms.

ADDITIONALLY, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR ALTERED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

McDonald’s reserves all legal rights to recover damages or other compensation under these terms or as allowed by law.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The online services may include inaccuracies or errors. McDONALD’s PROVIDES THE ONLINE SERVICES "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. McDONALD'S DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. McDONALD'S DOES NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE ONLINE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE ONLINE SERVICES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE ONLINE SERVICES. THESE WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

Third Party Services

The online services may link to or allow you to use third-party websites, downloadable materials, content, social networks, or other digital services (together, “third party services”). These third parties may have their separate terms and conditions or privacy policies that you should review and understand before using them. McDonald’s does not endorse and is not associated with any of these third party services. NEITHER McDONALD’S NOR ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE McDONALD’S SYSTEM HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE THIRD PARTY SERVICES. NEITHER McDONALD’S NOR ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE McDONALD’S SYSTEM HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY for McDONALD’S FAILURE TO PERFORM any of its obligations under these terms caused by or related to any event beyond McDonald’s reasonable control. If such an event occurs, then McDonald’s obligations under these terms will be suspended for the duration of the event; and McDonald’s may, but is not required to, use reasonable endeavors to find a solution by which its obligations under these terms may be performed despite the event.

Miscellaneous Provisions

These terms will be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (including all applicable federal laws), without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws. In case of a dispute, BOTH YOU AND MCDONALD’S AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

Although these terms govern the online services as between you and McDonald’s only (and no other Members of the McDonald’s System are parties to these terms), all other Members of the McDonald’s System are third party beneficiaries under these terms and will have the right to enforce against you those rights that McDonald’s holds under these terms to the extent such terms may pertain to them; there are no other third party beneficiaries under these terms.

On termination of these terms or of your permission to use the online services, all rights granted to you under terms shall cease; however, these terms will continue to apply to your prior use of the online services and anything relating to or arising from such use. Upon termination, all rights of McDonald’s and other Members of the McDonald’s System, including all intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, and licenses in these terms shall survive, as well as all restrictions on use, all limitations on liability and disclaimers, and the waiver of the right to trial by jury.

The headings of these terms are to facilitate reference only. They are not a part of these terms, and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.

Each of the terms and conditions in these terms are severable and operate separately. If any of them are unlawful, void or unenforceable, then the remaining terms and conditions will remain in full force and effect.

If McDonald’s fails to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these terms, or if McDonald’s does not enforce its rights against you, or delays in doing so, that will not mean that McDonald’s has waived its rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.

McDonald’s may transfer its rights and obligations under these terms to another organization or entity, but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these terms. You may only transfer your rights or obligations under these terms to another person if McDonald’s agrees in writing.
