Terms of Use

Last updated November 7, 2026

1. Who we are

TableSwapper.com ("TableSwapper," "we," "us") is operated by [Operating entity]. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any restaurant, Resy, OpenTable, Tock, SevenRooms, or any other booking platform. By using TableSwapper you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use it.

2. What TableSwapper is, and is not

TableSwapper is a bulletin board. Users post reservations they already hold and the times they would accept instead, and we point out when posts line up. We do not make, book, hold, sell, transfer, cancel, change or guarantee any reservation. We do not connect to any restaurant's or booking platform's systems and never act on your behalf with them. We are not a reservation service, booking agent, broker or marketplace, and no reservation is ever "listed for sale" here.

3. No consideration, ever

TableSwapper is free. You may not offer, request, accept or pay money, gift cards, credit, goods, services, favors or anything else of value in connection with any swap or post, on or off TableSwapper. Doing so ends your access immediately and permanently.

4. Your promises

Each time you post, you promise that: (a) you hold the reservation, in your own name, and made it yourself through the restaurant's normal booking channel; (b) you did not obtain it using bots, scripts, multiple accounts, a paid service or any other automation; (c) the details and confirmation image you provide are accurate and unaltered; (d) you will keep the reservation in place, unchanged, for the person you swap with; and (e) you are at least 18 years old.

5. Restaurant and platform rules

Restaurants and booking platforms have their own terms and policies, some of which may restrict transferring or sharing a reservation. You alone are responsible for complying with them. A restaurant may refuse to seat anyone, for any reason, and nothing here gives you any right against a restaurant. Every swap must be at the same restaurant and for the same party size.

6. Deposits, holds and fees

Any deposit, card hold, prepayment, cancellation fee or no-show fee belongs to the reservation's holder under the restaurant's terms. TableSwapper takes no part in it, never handles payments, and is not responsible for any charge.

7. Swaps are between users; assumption of risk

Swaps are arrangements between users. We do not verify identities, confirm reservations with restaurants, or guarantee that any person or table will be there. Confirmation screenshots are reviewed only to discourage abuse, not as a guarantee. You take part at your own risk.

8. Conduct and enforcement

No impersonation, false posts, automated access, scraping, harvesting of other users' information, spam, or attempts to get around these Terms. Other users' contact details are shared with you only to complete a confirmed swap; you may not use them for anything else. We may remove posts, dissolve pending swaps, and suspend or terminate accounts at our discretion, including after reports from other users.

9. Restaurant requests

A restaurant may ask in writing, to legal@tableswapper.com, that its page and posts be removed. We will act on a verified request within 24 hours.

10. Disclaimers

TableSwapper is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and that the service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, [Operating entity] and its owners, officers and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost meals, lost profits, missed events or travel costs, arising from TableSwapper or any swap. Our total liability for all claims is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100).

12. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless [Operating entity] and its owners, officers and agents from any claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your posts, your swaps, your dealings with other users or restaurants, or your breach of these Terms.

13. Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that either side may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You and we waive any right to a jury trial and to bring or join a class, collective or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@tableswapper.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

14. Changes, termination and the rest

We may change these Terms by posting a new version here; continued use means you accept it. You may stop using TableSwapper and delete your account at any time from My swaps. If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about TableSwapper. Our failure to enforce a term is not a waiver.
