Fleksa, Inc. Effective Date: December 2024 Last Updated: December 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to Fleksa. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the services, software, and products ("Services") provided by Fleksa, Inc. ("Fleksa," "we," "us," or "our"), a company incorporated in the State of Texas, United States.

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.

1.1 What Fleksa Is Not

Fleksa provides software-as-a-service and related tooling for restaurants. Fleksa is not:

  • a restaurant, food preparer, or seller of food or alcohol;
  • a delivery service or courier;
  • a money transmitter, bank, or payment institution. Payment processing is performed by third-party processors (e.g., Stripe Inc.) under their own terms with you;
  • a marketing or telecommunications carrier for SMS sent to your guests (those are sent via Twilio or comparable carriers under their terms).

You, as the restaurant operator, remain solely responsible for food safety, alcohol/tobacco licensing, labor compliance, your menu and pricing, your guest communications, and compliance with all laws applicable to your business.

2. Definitions

  • "Account" means your registered account with Fleksa
  • "Customer" or "You" means the restaurant, business, or individual using our Services
  • "Platform" means Fleksa's software-as-a-service platform including POS, ordering system, reservation system, and related services
  • "End User" means customers of your restaurant who interact with our Platform
  • "Subscription" means your paid subscription plan with Fleksa

3. Service Description

Fleksa provides a B2B restaurant technology platform including:

  • Point of Sale (POS) system

  • Table reservation system
  • Kitchen display system
  • Self-service kiosk software

5.3 Right of Set-off

If your account is delinquent, you authorize Fleksa to offset amounts owed against any funds received from your guests through Fleksa-administered payment flows (e.g., online orders, Fleksa-managed gift cards) and to withhold disbursement until your balance is cured.

5.4 Hardware Minimum Term

If hardware (POS terminal, KDS display, kiosk, printer) was provided at a discounted or zero price, a 24-month minimum service term applies. Early termination triggers a hardware buyout equal to the un-amortized subsidy.

Our Services may integrate with third-party services (payment processors, delivery platforms, marketing channels, AI providers, etc.).
