Terms of Use
1. About us and these terms
Scoffers ("Scoffers", "we", "us", "our") is a platform at scoffers.app that helps people in Brighton & Hove discover food and drink offers at local venues.
Scoffers App is a trading name of Design Superheroes Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 07696302, with its registered office at 49 Park Crescent Road, Brighton, England, BN2 3HS.
These Terms of Use apply to everyone who visits or uses Scoffers. If you run a venue and list offers with us, the separate Business Terms also apply to you, and they take precedence over these Terms of Use where the two conflict.
2. Your agreement to these terms
By accessing or using Scoffers — including browsing offers, viewing venue pages, using the map, or installing the app to your home screen — you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.
You do not need an account to browse Scoffers, and browsing is free.
3. What Scoffers is — and what it is not
Scoffers is a listings and discovery platform. We publish information about offers so that you can find them.
We are not:
- a party to any transaction between you and a venue;
- the seller or supplier of any food, drink, meal or experience listed on Scoffers;
- an agent, broker or representative of any venue;
- an issuer of vouchers, coupons or tickets.
When you redeem an offer, any contract is formed directly between you and the venue, on the venue's own terms. You pay the venue directly, in the normal way. Scoffers charges you nothing.
4. Offers are provided by venues
Every offer and venue listing on Scoffers is supplied, published and maintained by the venue itself through its own Scoffers account. Nothing appears publicly on Scoffers until the venue has claimed its listing and chosen to publish it — see clause 6.
Venues set their own offers, times, schedules, prices, conditions and availability, and are responsible for keeping that information up to date and for honouring their offers as advertised. Each offer page shows the terms the venue has set — it is worth reading these before you go.
5. Accuracy of listings — please read
We want Scoffers to be useful and accurate, and our terms with venues require them to keep their listings correct and to honour their offers. However:
- Information on Scoffers is provided by venues and is accurate to the best of our knowledge, but we do not independently verify, inspect or audit it.
- Offers can be changed, restricted, suspended, sold out or withdrawn by a venue at any time, without notice to us or to you. A listing may therefore be out of date at the moment you view it.
- Offer times, prices, availability, portion sizes, menu items and conditions are set by the venue and may differ from what is shown.
- Badges and status indicators (such as "running now") reflect the schedule the venue has entered — not a live confirmation from the venue that the offer is being served at that moment.
- A listing may remain published after an offer has in fact ended, if the venue has not yet updated or removed it.
- Distances and map locations are approximate.
We therefore strongly recommend that you contact the venue directly to confirm an offer is still running before you travel, and particularly before making a special journey, a booking, or plans that depend on the offer being available.
Scoffers is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We give no warranty, express or implied, that any listing is accurate, current, complete, or that any offer will be available or honoured.
6. How a listing gets published
We prepare draft listings for venues and invite them to claim their listing using a private link. A draft is never visible to the public. A venue listing or offer only appears on Scoffers once the venue has claimed it, reviewed the details, and published it from its own account.
This means every listing you see on Scoffers has been checked and published by the venue it relates to, and the venue is responsible for keeping it accurate — but see clause 5, because a listing can still fall out of date after it is published.
7. Allergens, dietary requirements and food safety
Scoffers does not hold, verify or supply allergen, ingredient, nutritional or dietary information, and you must not rely on Scoffers for it.
If you have a food allergy, intolerance or dietary requirement, you must speak to the venue directly before ordering. Venues are responsible for complying with food safety and food information law, including allergen information requirements. We are not responsible for the preparation, handling, quality or safety of any food or drink served by a venue.
8. Alcohol and age-restricted offers
Some listings relate to alcoholic drinks. These are available only to people aged 18 or over, and are always subject to the venue's licence, its age-verification policy, and its discretion to refuse service. Venues are responsible for serving alcohol lawfully and responsibly. Nothing on Scoffers is intended to encourage excessive or irresponsible drinking.
9. Telling us about an incorrect offer
If an offer looks wrong, has ended, or was not honoured as advertised, please tell us at with the venue name and, if you can, a link to the offer.
We will review reports promptly and may contact the venue, correct the listing, suspend it, or remove it. We cannot guarantee a particular outcome, and we cannot compensate you for an offer a venue did not honour — that is a matter between you and the venue — but reports genuinely help us keep the platform accurate, and we act on them.
10. Acceptable use
You may use Scoffers for your own personal, non-commercial use to find offers. You must not:
- use the platform unlawfully, fraudulently, or for any harmful purpose;
- scrape, harvest, copy, republish or systematically extract listings, offer data or venue data, whether manually or by automated means, without our written permission;
- use automated systems (bots, crawlers, scrapers) to access the platform, except for search engines indexing public pages in the ordinary way;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the platform, its servers or any account;
- introduce malicious code, or do anything that damages, disables or overburdens the platform;
- submit false, misleading, abusive or unlawful content or reports;
- misrepresent yourself as a venue, or claim a listing you are not authorised to claim.
We may restrict or block access to anyone who breaches this clause.
11. Our content and intellectual property
The Scoffers platform, its name, logo, design, software, database and compilation of listings are owned by or licensed to Design Superheroes Ltd and protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, adapt or reuse them except as permitted by law or with our written permission.
Venue names, logos, images and listing content belong to the venues or their licensors and are published with their permission. If you believe content on Scoffers infringes your rights, contact and we will investigate and, where appropriate, remove it.
12. Links to other sites
Scoffers contains links to venue websites, booking systems, social media and other third-party sites. We do not control them, do not endorse them, and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or terms. Following an external link is at your own risk.
13. Availability of the platform
We aim to keep Scoffers available and working as described, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. We may change, suspend, withdraw or discontinue any part of the platform, including individual features, at any time. The platform depends on your device, browser and internet connection, which are your responsibility.
14. Our liability to you
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
- any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded under English law, including your statutory rights as a consumer under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
Subject to that:
- We are not liable for the acts or omissions of venues, including a venue changing, withdrawing or failing to honour an offer, refusing service, or providing food or drink that differs from its listing.
- We are not liable for loss arising from inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date listing information supplied by a venue, in circumstances where we have acted reasonably in publishing it and in responding to any report about it.
- We are not liable for any dispute between you and a venue.
- We are not liable for business losses. Scoffers is provided for personal use; if you use it for any commercial purpose we have no liability to you for loss of profit, business, contracts, goodwill or opportunity.
- We are not liable for loss that was not reasonably foreseeable at the time you used the platform.
- Our total liability to you in connection with the platform, in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, is limited to £100. Scoffers is provided to customers free of charge, and this limit reflects that.
15. Privacy and cookies
We explain how we handle your information in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Please read them — they form part of your use of Scoffers.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the platform or to the law. The "last updated" date at the top shows when we last did so. Significant changes will be flagged on the platform. Continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
17. Complaints
If you are unhappy with anything about Scoffers, please contact us at and we will do our best to put it right. Complaints about a specific offer, meal or service should be raised with the venue in the first instance, as the venue — not Scoffers — supplied it.
18. General
- Severability. If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, the rest continues to apply.
- No waiver. If we delay in enforcing any part of these terms, that does not prevent us enforcing it later.
- Assignment. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation, for example if our business is sold. This will not affect your rights.
- Entire agreement. These terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about your use of Scoffers.
- Events outside our control. We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
- Third parties. No one other than you and us has any right to enforce these terms.
19. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you may also bring proceedings in your own local courts.
