Version: November 2026 · Applies to all BiteUnite locations and events
Please read carefully. This is a legal agreement. By signing (including by ticking a box or signing electronically), you give up certain legal rights.
"BiteUnite" means BiteUnite of USA LLC, BiteUnite Cloud Corp and their affiliates, including the BiteUnite entity operating in Hong Kong, together with their owners, managers, employees, chefs, instructors, contractors, volunteers, partners, venue owners and landlords, agents, successors and assigns (together, the "Released Parties").
"Activity" means any BiteUnite cooking class, private group event, team building event, kids or teen party or camp, workshop, tasting, shared kitchen use or other BiteUnite experience, wherever it takes place, including:
This waiver covers the Activity you are booked for today and every future BiteUnite Activity you join, until you tell us in writing that you withdraw it.
I understand that cooking is a hands-on activity in a working kitchen and carries real risks, including but not limited to:
I understand these injuries or illnesses can be minor or serious, and in rare cases can cause permanent disability or death. I understand they may be caused by my own actions, by other participants, or by the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties. I voluntarily choose to take part and I accept these risks, known and unknown.
To the fullest extent permitted by the law that applies, I release, waive and discharge the Released Parties from all claims, demands and causes of action for personal injury, illness, death, or loss or damage to property arising out of or related to my participation in the Activity, including claims caused by the ordinary negligence of the Released Parties. I agree not to sue the Released Parties for any claim I have released.
This release does not apply to gross negligence, wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. If the law where the Activity takes place does not allow part of this release, that part applies only as far as the law allows, and the rest of this agreement still applies.
To the extent permitted by law, I agree to cover the Released Parties for claims, costs and reasonable legal fees brought by anyone (including other participants) that arise from my own careless, reckless or wrongful acts during the Activity.
If I am injured or become ill, I authorize BiteUnite staff to give first aid and to call emergency services, and I consent to emergency medical treatment and transport. I understand BiteUnite does not provide medical insurance for participants, and I am responsible for my own medical costs. BiteUnite may share relevant health information with emergency responders.
BiteUnite is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged personal belongings. I am responsible for any damage to equipment or the venue caused by my wilful, reckless or careless acts.
BiteUnite and its staff may take photos, videos and audio recordings during the Activity. I grant BiteUnite permission, without payment, to use, edit, crop, add music or text to, and publish recordings that include my image, likeness and voice, in any media and for as long as BiteUnite chooses, including:
BiteUnite owns these recordings. BiteUnite will not use my name in a way that suggests I personally endorse a product unless I separately agree.
How to opt out: If I do not want to appear, I will tell the chef or host at check-in, or email info@biteunite.com before the Activity, and BiteUnite will make reasonable efforts to keep me out of published content. If I later want a published photo or video of me removed from BiteUnite's own accounts, I can email info@biteunite.com and BiteUnite will remove it within a reasonable time. Content already shared by others, or printed, may not be recoverable.
The minimum age to take part is 8. Participants under 18 must have this waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian, and must be supervised as BiteUnite requires. By signing for a minor, I confirm I am the minor's parent or legal guardian, I agree to this waiver on the minor's behalf and on my own behalf, and I give the photo and video consent in section 8 for the minor unless I opt the minor out as described there.
If I book for other people, I confirm I will share this waiver with every participant in my booking before the Activity. Each adult participant must accept this waiver themselves (online or at check-in). A parent or guardian must accept it for each minor. BiteUnite may refuse participation to anyone who has not accepted it, without refund.
This agreement is governed by the law of the place where the Activity takes place (for example California law for San Francisco and Los Angeles, New York law for New York, and Hong Kong law for Hong Kong), consistent with BiteUnite's Terms of Use at biteunite.com/terms. If any part of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect.
This waiver works together with BiteUnite's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (biteunite.com/privacy). An electronic acceptance (including ticking a box or typing my name) has the same effect as a handwritten signature.
I HAVE READ THIS WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND PHOTO RELEASE. I UNDERSTAND I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING MY RIGHT TO SUE FOR CERTAIN CLAIMS. I SIGN IT VOLUNTARILY. I AM 18 OR OLDER, OR I AM SIGNING AS THE PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF A MINOR PARTICIPANT.
