What we do, what we do not do, and which document governs what.
Effective September 7, 2026
These terms cover this website and your general relationship with TableSide Media. A specific collaboration or campaign is governed by its own signed document, which is named below. If a signed document and these terms disagree, the signed document wins.
TableSide Media introduces local businesses to content creators and coordinates the visits between them. We match a creator to a business, arrange the date and time, and keep both sides informed.
We are not the venue operator. We do not own, run or staff the businesses a creator visits. We do not prepare food, provide services, or control what happens during a visit. What happens at the visit is between the creator and the business.
Creators are independent. A creator who works with TableSide Media is an independent contractor, not our employee, agent or partner. Creators decide which collaborations to take and how to make their content. Nothing in these terms creates an employment, partnership or joint venture relationship.
Filling out the creator application or the business inquiry form starts a conversation. It is not an approval, not an acceptance into the creator network, and not a booked campaign. We review what you send and decide whether to go forward, and we may decline for any reason. Nothing is committed until:
These terms sit underneath both. Where a signed agreement covers a subject, that agreement is the one that applies.
Creator marketing is not advertising with a promised outcome. We do not guarantee any level of views, engagement, reach, followers, foot traffic, bookings, sales or reviews. Figures we show you from past campaigns describe what happened on those campaigns; they are not a forecast and they are not a promise about yours.
Where a campaign includes a Google review, the review is the creator's own honest account of their experience. We do not write it, we do not tell a creator what to say in it, and we will not ask a creator to change or remove an honest review. A business that books a campaign that includes reviews is buying the visit, not a rating.
Content a creator makes belongs to the creator. By taking a collaboration, a creator grants:
A creator is responsible for the content they post, including the words they use and any music or footage they did not create. A business is responsible for its own use of that content, including anything it runs as paid media.
You may use this site to learn about TableSide Media and to send us an application or an inquiry. Please do not submit information that is not yours or is not true, attempt to break into or disrupt the site, scrape it by automated means, or use it for anything unlawful. We may suspend access to the site or to a portal if it is being misused.
The TableSide Media name, logo, site design and written material are ours. Everything on this site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows.
To the fullest extent the law allows, TableSide Media is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue or lost business opportunity, arising out of the service or a collaboration.
Where we are found liable, our total liability is capped at the amount paid to TableSide Media for the campaign the claim relates to. Where no amount was paid for that campaign, our total liability is capped at one hundred dollars.
Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
We may update these terms. The current version is always posted here with its effective date at the top. A change does not alter a signed agreement already in force.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of these terms or the service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and both sides consent to that jurisdiction.
