Terms of use

The plain-English rules for using the crawl.

Matcha Crawl is a small, opinionated directory. These terms explain what you can expect from the site, what we ask from contributors, and where the guide has real-world limits.

1

Using Matcha Crawl

Matcha Crawl is a guide to matcha spots in New York City. You may use the site for personal, non-commercial discovery, planning, sharing, and submitting suggestions. Please do not scrape, copy, resell, or republish large parts of the directory without written permission.

2

Listings, rankings, and opinions

Listings, scores, rankings, notes, photos, and tags are provided for general informational purposes. They are not guarantees that a place will be open, available, safe for a specific dietary need, or exactly as described. Cafes change their menus, prices, hours, and quality; check directly with the business before making plans that matter.

3

Community submissions and voting

If you submit a place, vote, or send feedback, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it is honest to the best of your knowledge. You grant Matcha Crawl permission to use, edit, display, and store that submission so the guide can operate and improve. We may remove or adjust submissions that are spammy, abusive, misleading, promotional, or otherwise not useful for the crawl.

4

Third-party places and links

Matcha Crawl is independent from the cafes, restaurants, delivery platforms, map providers, social networks, and other third parties referenced on the site unless we clearly say otherwise. External links and embeds are provided for convenience, and your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies.

5

No warranties

The site is provided as is and as available. We try to keep the guide thoughtful and accurate, but we do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free data, or that every recommendation will match your taste, schedule, budget, accessibility needs, or dietary requirements.

6

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Matcha Crawl is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for losses connected to your use of the site, reliance on listings, interactions with third-party businesses, or inability to access the site.

7

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as Matcha Crawl grows. When we make meaningful changes, we will update the date on this page. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

Questions, corrections, takedown requests, or permission requests can be sent through the spot suggestion flow. Include enough detail for us to understand what page, listing, or content you mean.
