Subscription Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, ACTIVATING A SUBSCRIPTION, OR ACCESSING THE GATHEROUND PLATFORM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

This Subscription Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Gatheround LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Gatheround”, “we”, “us”), and the entity or individual identified during account registration (“Customer”, “you”). This Agreement is effective as of the date Customer first accesses the Service or executes an order form referencing this Agreement. If Customer is accepting on behalf of a company or other legal entity, Customer represents that it has the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

1. The Service

Gatheround provides a cloud-based catering management software platform (the “Service”) accessible at gatheround.io. The Service includes modules for event management, kitchen operations, staff scheduling, venue logistics, and financial reporting, depending on Customer’s subscription plan. The Service is solely for Customer’s internal business use and may not be resold, assigned, sublicensed, or redistributed to any person or entity.

2. Subscription Plans, Fees, and Payment

2.1 Plans

2.2 Admin Seats

Admin seats apply to owner, manager, and sales roles only. Staff portal users (hourly staff accessing scheduling and time clock features) do not count toward seat limits and are not subject to per-seat fees.

2.3 Billing Terms

Subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual basis. Monthly subscriptions are billed in advance on the first day of each billing period. Annual subscriptions are billed in full at the start of each annual term and automatically renew for successive annual terms unless cancelled. First payment is due upon activation of the subscription. All fees must be paid in full before access to the Service is granted or renewed.

2.4 Late Payments

Any fees not paid by their due date will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower) from the due date until paid in full. Gatheround reserves the right to condition future access on payment of all outstanding balances plus accrued interest.

2.5 Failed Payments and Chargebacks

Customer must maintain a valid payment method on file at all times. Gatheround reserves the right to suspend or terminate access immediately and without prior notice if: (a) payment is declined or funds are unavailable; (b) a payment is reversed, charged back, or disputed; or (c) an expired payment method is not replaced. Customer is responsible for all chargeback fees and reasonable collection costs incurred by Gatheround resulting from disputed charges.

2.6 Non-Refundable Fees

All fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in this Agreement or required by applicable law. Cancellation does not entitle Customer to a refund of any prepaid fees for unused periods.

2.7 Price Changes

Gatheround may modify subscription pricing with at least 30 days written notice via email or posting on gatheround.io. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If Customer objects to a material price increase taking effect mid-term, Customer may terminate and receive a prorated refund of prepaid fees for the unused portion.

2.8 Free Trial

New customers may access the Service on a 14-day free trial. No credit card is required. Gatheround reserves the right to modify or terminate trial offers at any time.
