Terms of Service

Last updated October 3, 2026Meal Hookup is run by SciCoTherapy Labs LLC (“we” or “us”). These terms are the agreement between you and us when you use Meal Hookup. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Meal Hookup.

The short version: Meal Hookup only helps members find each other. Swaps happen between members, in person, at their own risk. We don't make, handle, inspect or guarantee any food, and we don't screen members. Use good judgment, meet somewhere public, and read the safety tips.

Who can use it

You must be at least 18 years old.
You need an invite from a current member, and each invite link is for one person.
One account per person, using your own mobile number. Never share a login code; you're responsible for what happens on your account.
If we've removed you from the app before, don't create a new account.

What we do and don't do

Meal Hookup lets members post meals they can trade, propose swaps, chat, and rate each other. That's it. We are not a party to any swap, we don't take payment, and nothing is sold through the app.

We don't prepare, store, deliver, inspect or approve any food, and we don't know how it was made or handled.
We don't run background checks or verify who members are, where they work, or anything they say.
Ratings, nicknames and profiles are what other members post. They are not our endorsement.

Food and meeting in person

You decide whether to swap, whom to meet, where, and whether to eat what you receive. You do so at your own risk. Ask about ingredients and allergens before you swap, and don't eat anything you're unsure of. Only offer food that is fresh and that you would eat yourself, and be honest about what's in it.Meeting people from the internet carries real risks. Meet in public, keep it short, and trust your instincts. We aren't responsible for anyone's conduct, on or off the app.

Your job and the law

You are responsible for making sure that what you offer is yours to trade, including following your employer's rules about staff meals and any food safety or other laws that apply to you. Don't offer anything you aren't allowed to give away.

Rules for members

Don't use Meal Hookup to:

harass, threaten, stalk, discriminate against or pressure anyone;
offer alcohol, drugs, anything illegal, or anything other than food and drink;
sell things, ask for money, or advertise;
lie about your meal, yourself, or where you work, or pretend to be someone else;
share someone else's personal information without their permission;
post anything sexual, hateful, or violent;
scrape, overload, or break the app, or get around its limits.

What you post

You keep ownership of what you post (meal listings, messages, your profile). You give us permission to store and display it as needed to run Meal Hookup. Only post things you have the right to share. We may remove anything that breaks these terms.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time from the Account page. We may suspend or remove any account, with or without notice, for example if we believe it breaks these terms or puts other members at risk. Our Privacy Policy explains what happens to your information.

No warranties

Meal Hookup is free and provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including about the app working without interruption, about other members, or about any food.

Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, SciCoTherapy Labs LLC and its owners and team won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any illness, injury, loss or damage arising from swaps, food, meetings, or other members' conduct. Our total liability for any claim about Meal Hookup is limited to $100. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.

Indemnity

If a claim is brought against us because of something you did (for example, food you offered, how you behaved at a meetup, or breaking these terms or the law), you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from it.

Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about Meal Hookup will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and you and we agree to their jurisdiction. Before filing anything, please email us so we can try to sort it out.

Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll let members know in the app. Continuing to use Meal Hookup after a change means you accept the new terms.
