1 Who you’re agreeing with
Makan is run by an individual developer in Singapore.
These terms are between you and Manjeer Ahmed Mubarak Ali, an individual developer based in Singapore who makes and runs Makan (“we”, “us”). Straitstone is the name of the project and of this website, not a registered company. Our privacy policy explains how we handle your data.
2 Who can use Makan
You must be 13 or older. Under 18, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission.
- You must be at least 13 years old.
- If you’re under 18, you need a parent’s or guardian’s permission to use Makan.
- One account per person, and your account is for you alone.
- The details you give us must be true.
3 Your account
Keep your sign-in safe. You’re responsible for what happens on your account.
Keep your password private, and tell us at manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg if you think someone else has used your account. You’re responsible for activity on your account, unless it happened because of our mistake.
4 What you post
Your photos stay yours. You give us permission to show them in Makan.
You keep ownership of the photos, comments and other content you post. By posting, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, copy, resize, display and distribute that content in Makan for as long as it stays on Makan. The licence ends when the content is removed after you delete it or your account.
By posting, you confirm that:
- you took the photos yourself, or have the right to post them;
- your content follows the community guidelines;
- your content doesn’t break the law or anyone else’s rights.
5 Makan’s own content
The app, its name and the rankings belong to us. Stall names belong to their owners.
The Makan app, its name and logo, its design, and the rankings and listings it compiles belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for your own, non-commercial use, for as long as you follow these terms.
Stall names, logos and trademarks shown in Makan belong to their owners, and showing them doesn’t mean the owners endorse Makan.
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything.
6 Copyright complaints
Tell us if something on Makan copies your work, and we’ll take it down.
If you believe content on Makan infringes your copyright, email manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg with:
- the work you own, and where the copy appears in Makan;
- your name and contact details;
- a statement that you own the work, or are authorised to act for the owner, and believe in good faith that the use isn’t allowed.
We’ll remove content that infringes, tell the person who posted it, and close the accounts of people who do it repeatedly.
7 Rankings are opinions
Rankings show how Makan’s users voted. They aren’t facts, or reviews by us.
Dish rankings come from head-to-head votes by Makan users. They reflect those users’ opinions, and they are not statements of fact about any stall, its food or its owners. We don’t sell rankings or accept payment for them.
If you run a stall and something about it on Makan is wrong, email manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg and we’ll look at it.
8 Rules
Use Makan honestly, and don’t interfere with it.
You agree not to:
- vote dishonestly, vote from more than one account, or buy, sell or trade votes;
- use bots, scripts or other automated tools with Makan, or collect its data in bulk;
- copy, modify or reverse-engineer the app, except where the law allows it;
- get around security measures or rate limits;
- use Makan to harass, threaten, impersonate or mislead anyone;
- break the community guidelines.
9 Points, badges and energy
They’re part of the game, and have no money value.
Points, levels, badges, quests, streaks and energy have no cash value, and you can’t sell, trade or transfer them. We may change how they work, and we may correct or remove any that were earned through an error or by breaking these terms.
10 Moderation and suspension
We can remove content and suspend accounts that break these terms.
We may remove content, reset points, or suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the community guidelines, or that puts other people or Makan at risk. Where we can, we’ll tell you what we did and why. If you think we got it wrong, email manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg within 30 days.
11 Information on Makan
Check details with the stall. We can’t promise they’re right.
Stall names, locations, opening hours, prices, dish details and photos come from Makan’s users and from public sources, and they change. We try to keep them accurate but can’t guarantee it. Check allergens, halal status and other dietary needs with the stall itself. We’re not responsible for food you buy or for how a stall treats you.
12 Other services
Maps and place data come from Google.
Makan uses maps and place data from Google, and Google’s terms apply to that content. Links to other websites and apps are there for convenience, and we’re not responsible for them.
13 Changes to Makan
Makan may change, pause or end.
We may change, add or remove features, and Makan may sometimes be unavailable. If we decide to shut Makan down, we’ll give at least 30 days’ notice in the app where we can.
14 Responsibility and liability
Makan is provided as it is. Our liability is limited as far as the law allows.
Makan is free, and it is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows:
- we don’t promise that Makan will be free of errors or always available;
- we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of data, profit or goodwill;
- our total liability to you for any claim about Makan is limited to S$100.
If someone makes a claim against us because of content you posted or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, to the extent the law allows.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn’t allow to be limited, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
15 Ending
You can leave at any time.
You can stop using Makan and delete your account at any time. We may close your account as described in section 10. Sections 4 (for content still on Makan), 5, 7, 11, 14, 17 and 18 continue to apply after your account ends.
16 App store terms
Apple and Google Play have terms of their own.
If you downloaded Makan from Apple’s App Store:
- these terms are between you and us, not Apple, and we, not Apple, are responsible for Makan and its content;
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Makan;
- if Makan fails to meet a warranty that applies to it, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation for Makan;
- Apple is not responsible for any claims relating to Makan, including product liability claims, claims that Makan breaks a law or regulation, and claims that Makan infringes someone’s intellectual property;
- you confirm that you’re not located in a country subject to a United States government embargo, and that you’re not on a United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties;
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. If you downloaded Makan from Google Play, Google Play’s terms of service also apply.
17 Law
Singapore law applies.
These terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have jurisdiction over any dispute about them.
18 General
The legal housekeeping.
- These terms, with the privacy policy and the community guidelines, are the whole agreement between you and us about Makan.
- If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
- If we don’t enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later.
- We may transfer these terms to whoever takes over running Makan, such as a company set up to run it. You may not transfer them.
19 Changes to these terms
We’ll tell you before an important change.
When these terms change, we update the date and version at the top of this page. We’ll tell you in the app before an important change takes effect. If you keep using Makan after that, the new terms apply.
