Effective Date: July 20th, 2026 Last Updated: July 20th, 2026
Sponsor: Contemplation, Inc. DBA First Bite Club, 4210 Via Marina, Ste 10, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 ("First Bite Club," "we," "us," or "our").
Age minimum confirmed: 21. This document's Section 3 already reflects this. The companion Privacy Policy has been updated to match (see that document).
These Terms & Conditions, including the Official Rules in Section 5 (collectively, the "Terms"), are a binding agreement between you and First Bite Club. They govern your use of the First Bite Club service, including the web application reached by scanning a QR code at a participating restaurant, the reward reveal, the reward wallet, and reward redemption (together, the "Service").
By creating an account, entering your email address in the Service, submitting a mail-in entry, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF RECEIVING ANY PARTICULAR REWARD. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW.
First Bite Club is an ongoing rewards program (the "Program") offered at participating restaurants ("Participating Restaurants"). When you visit a Participating Restaurant, you may scan the QR code presented with your check, shuffle an animated deck of cards, select one, and reveal a reward after providing your email address. Every entry results in a reward: some reward tier is always awarded, and no entry results in a null or zero outcome. The specific reward tier you receive is determined by a random selection performed on our servers among the reward tiers configured by the Participating Restaurant at the time of your entry.
The Program is continuous and has no fixed end date. It operates in rolling entry cycles: you may enter once at each Participating Restaurant during each entry window set by that restaurant (between one and seven days, as displayed in the Service for that restaurant) (each, an "Entry Window"). [ATTORNEY REVIEW: continuous-program structure vs. traditional fixed-period official rules — see flag list.]
⚠ FLAG — product/legal mismatch: the live product currently enforces a fixed one-roll-per-restaurant-per-day limit, not a configurable one-to-seven-day Entry Window. Either simplify this section to describe the daily limit that actually exists, or build the variable window into the product before publishing this language. Recommend resolving before launch, since Official Rules should describe the promotion as it actually operates.
We may add or remove Participating Restaurants at any time.
The Program is open only to natural persons who are (a) legal residents of the United States residing in a state where a Participating Restaurant is located, and (b) at least twenty-one (21) years old at the time of entry (or the age of majority in their state of residence, if higher).
The following are not eligible: employees, officers, and directors of First Bite Club; owners, employees, and managers of Participating Restaurants; and the immediate family members (spouse, parents, siblings, children) and household members of any of the foregoing.
The Program is void where prohibited or restricted by law. Participation constitutes your agreement to these Terms and to the decisions of First Bite Club, which are final and binding in all matters relating to the Program.
At a Participating Restaurant, scan the QR code presented with your check and follow the on-screen instructions: hold to shuffle the deck, release to select a card, and tap the card to reveal your reward. You will be asked to provide your email address before the reveal completes; a valid email address is required to receive and redeem any reward. First-time users must verify their email address via the sign-in link we send.
Limit: one (1) entry per person per Participating Restaurant per Entry Window, regardless of entry method. One (1) account per person. Entries generated by scripts, bots, or other automated means, and entries using multiple accounts, alias emails, or disposable email addresses, are void.
Scanning the QR code does not require a purchase. However, because the QR code is presented in the restaurant, the free mail-in entry method described in Section 5 is available to anyone who wishes to enter without visiting or dining at a Participating Restaurant, with the same odds and the same reward pool.
No purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win. To enter without visiting a Participating Restaurant, mail a letter to:
First Bite Club — Free Entry 4210 Via Marina, Ste 10 Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
Each letter must be hand-written and must include all of the following: (a) your full name; (b) your complete mailing address; (c) your email address; and (d) the name of the one (1) Participating Restaurant for which you are requesting an entry. Illegible, incomplete, mechanically reproduced, or mass-submitted entries are void.
Limits: one (1) entry request per letter; one (1) letter per outer envelope; one (1) mail-in entry per person per Participating Restaurant per Entry Window — the same limit that applies to in-restaurant entries. Mail-in entries in excess of these limits are void.
Upon receipt of a valid mail-in entry, we will process it through the same server-side random selection, against the same reward tiers with the same probabilities, as an in-restaurant entry made at that Participating Restaurant at that time. Mail-in entrants are notified of their reward by email at the address provided in the letter, and the reward is placed in a First Bite Club account associated with that email address, subject to email verification. Mail-in entries are processed within 30 business days of receipt. Proof of mailing is not proof of receipt. We are not responsible for lost, late, misdirected, postage-due, or undeliverable mail.
Equal treatment. Mail-in entries have the same odds of receiving each reward tier as in-restaurant entries, are drawn from the same reward pool, and are subject to the same guaranteed minimum reward. A purchase does not increase your chances of receiving any particular reward tier.
Odds. Every valid entry receives a reward. The odds of receiving any particular reward tier depend on the reward tiers and probabilities configured by the applicable Participating Restaurant at the time the entry is processed, and on that restaurant's remaining reward budget.
Reward availability. If a Participating Restaurant's configured reward budget is exhausted at the time an entry is processed, the entry receives that restaurant's guaranteed minimum reward. No entry receives nothing.
Note — this section describes a feature not yet built. Per the project build plan, the AMOE mail-in path is scoped for Phase 6 and hasn't been implemented yet. This section should not go live until that functionality actually exists to honor it.
Each reward is issued to your First Bite Club account and appears in your in-app wallet. Each reward states its value or description, the Participating Restaurant at which it may be redeemed, its expiration date, and any reward-specific terms set by that restaurant (for example, a maximum value or excluded items) ("Reward Terms"). Reward Terms are displayed on the reward's redemption screen, are incorporated into and subordinate to these Terms, and govern only that individual reward. If Reward Terms conflict with these Terms, these Terms control.
Rewards: (a) expire on the date shown and are void thereafter; (b) are personal to you and may not be sold, transferred, bartered, or auctioned; (c) have no cash value and are not redeemable for cash, credit, or gift cards; (d) are single-use; (e) must be redeemed in person at the issuing Participating Restaurant; and (f) may not be combined with other rewards in a single redemption unless the Participating Restaurant permits it. Rewards are discounts or complimentary items applied by the Participating Restaurant; First Bite Club does not process payments and is not a party to your transaction with the restaurant.
Any taxes on rewards are the sole responsibility of the recipient.
Gift Invitations. A member who has previously redeemed a Reward at a Participating Restaurant may send up to five (5) outstanding invitations per Participating Restaurant at a time to invite another person to that restaurant ("Gift Invitations"). A Gift Invitation is "outstanding" once claimed and shuffled by the recipient until the resulting Reward is either redeemed or expires; once redeemed or expired, the sender may send another. To claim a Gift Invitation, the recipient must not already hold or have held a Reward at that Participating Restaurant, and must complete the reveal to receive a Reward. A Reward obtained through a Gift Invitation is in all respects an ordinary Reward and is fully subject to this Section 6, including the restrictions on transfer, cash value, and in-person redemption. Gift Invitations, like entries generally, may be voided, and any resulting unredeemed Reward may be revoked, under Section 8 if First Bite Club suspects fraud or abuse, including but not limited to invitations sent to or claimed by the sender's own alternate account. Sending or claiming a Gift Invitation does not entitle the sender to any additional reward, compensation, or increased odds.
To redeem, open the reward in your wallet, tap Redeem, and confirm in the popup, which displays the reward, the restaurant, the expiration date, and the Reward Terms. Upon confirmation, our server records the authoritative redemption timestamp and the screen displays a live redemption state. Show this live screen to restaurant staff at the time of redemption. Screenshots, photographs, or any static reproduction of the redemption screen are not valid for redemption, and restaurants may refuse them. Once confirmed, a redemption cannot be reversed, and the reward cannot be reused, even if you do not complete a purchase or the restaurant does not honor it — so confirm redemption only when you are at the restaurant and ready to use the reward.
You must provide a valid, personal email address and keep it current. You are responsible for activity under your account. We may use automated signals — including email address normalization, disposable-domain screening, and a device token — to detect duplicate accounts and abuse.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to void entries, revoke unredeemed rewards, suspend or permanently ban accounts, and disqualify from the Program any person whom we suspect, based on the information available to us, of fraud or abuse of the Program — no proof of actual fraud is required — including without limitation any person who: tampers with the entry process or the operation of the Service; violates these Terms; creates multiple accounts; uses automation; or acts in a disruptive, fraudulent, or deceptive manner. CAUTION: ANY ATTEMPT TO DELIBERATELY DAMAGE THE SERVICE OR UNDERMINE THE LEGITIMATE OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM MAY VIOLATE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAWS, AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK REMEDIES AND DAMAGES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
You may close your account at any time by contacting us at support@firstbiteclubhouse.com. Unredeemed rewards are forfeited on account closure.
By providing your email address, you agree to receive transactional emails (sign-in links, reward issuance, redemption confirmations) and Program emails about your rewards, including reminders before a reward expires. Reminder and marketing emails include an unsubscribe mechanism; opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional emails required to operate your account. See our Privacy Policy for details.
After a visit, you may be invited to rate your experience and optionally provide written feedback and contact information. By submitting feedback, you grant First Bite Club and the applicable Participating Restaurant a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use that feedback to operate and improve the Program and the restaurant's services, and you agree the restaurant may contact you about your feedback if you provide contact information. Do not submit feedback that is unlawful, defamatory, or infringes another person's rights.
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and marks, is owned by First Bite Club or its licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal, non-commercial participation in the Program. No other rights are granted.
THE SERVICE AND THE PROGRAM ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. FIRST BITE CLUB IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOOD, BEVERAGES, SERVICE, OR PREMISES OF ANY PARTICIPATING RESTAURANT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FIRST BITE CLUB AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE "RELEASED PARTIES") WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THE PROGRAM. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THE PROGRAM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE VALUE OF THE UNREDEEMED REWARDS IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT THE TIME THE CLAIM AROSE OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100). BY PARTICIPATING, YOU RELEASE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM OR THE RECEIPT, USE, OR REDEMPTION OF ANY REWARD, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. [ATTORNEY REVIEW: California Civil Code § 1542 waiver language, if a general release is intended.]
You agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
These Terms and the Program are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Informal resolution first. Before filing any claim, you agree to contact us at support@firstbiteclubhouse.com and give us thirty (30) days to attempt to resolve the dispute informally.
Arbitration. Any dispute not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its consumer arbitration rules, in Los Angeles County, California, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. [Suggested default — AAA is the more commonly used consumer arbitration provider with comparatively lower individual filing fees; confirm with counsel if a preference exists.] YOU AND FIRST BITE CLUB EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing support@firstbiteclubhouse.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms.
For any matter not subject to arbitration, exclusive jurisdiction and venue lie in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
Because the Program is ongoing, we may update these Terms, the list of Participating Restaurants, reward tiers, and Entry Windows from time to time. Changes take effect prospectively when posted (or on the effective date stated in the notice) and will not alter: (a) any reward already issued to your wallet, which remains governed by the Terms and Reward Terms in effect when it was issued; or (b) any entry already submitted, including a mail-in entry in transit, which will be processed under the rules in effect when it was made. Material changes will be announced by email or by prominent notice in the Service. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Reward Terms, are the entire agreement between you and First Bite Club regarding the Program. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
