Disclaimer & Terms of Use

Please read this disclaimer carefully before using our platform

Nature of Content

All reviews, ratings, comments, photographs, and other content published on this website ("User Content") represent the personal opinions and subjective experiences of individual contributors. This content reflects their own perceptions, tastes, and experiences at the time of their visit to the establishments featured.

User Content does not constitute statements of fact, professional advice, endorsements, or official assessments. Different visitors may have different experiences at the same establishment due to varying circumstances, personal preferences, or changes in the establishment over time.

Freedom of Expression

The opinions expressed by contributors on this platform are protected under the fundamental right to freedom of expression as enshrined in:

  • Article 14 of the Greek Constitution
  • Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights
  • Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union

Contributors share their genuine, honest opinions based on their personal dining experiences. Such expressions of opinion, including criticism, are a protected form of speech in democratic societies.

No Warranty or Guarantee

While we encourage honest and accurate reviews, Wine & Dine Athens and its operators:

  • Do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any User Content
  • Do not verify each review or the identity of reviewers
  • Do not endorse any particular establishment or opinion expressed
  • Cannot guarantee that any visitor's experience will match those described in reviews
  • Are not responsible for any decisions made based on User Content

Users should exercise their own judgment when selecting establishments to visit and not rely solely on reviews found on this platform.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Wine & Dine Athens, Symposion Dionysou, Braggers Club, their officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any:

  • Direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
  • Loss of profits, revenue, business, or goodwill
  • Any damages arising from reliance on User Content
  • Any claims, demands, or actions brought by third parties

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which such liability is asserted, including negligence, contract, tort, or any other basis.

Establishment Rights & Appeals Process

We respect the legitimate interests of establishments featured on our platform. If you are an owner, manager, or authorized representative of an establishment and believe that a review:

  • Contains false statements of fact (not mere opinions)
  • Was not based on an actual visit to your establishment
  • Contains defamatory content that goes beyond fair criticism
  • Violates applicable laws or our community guidelines

You may submit an appeal for review by contacting us at appeals@winedine.gr with the following information:

  1. Your full name and position at the establishment
  2. The name and address of the establishment
  3. A link to the specific review(s) in question
  4. A detailed explanation of why you believe the review should be investigated
  5. Any supporting evidence (e.g., reservation records, CCTV footage timestamps)

Review Process

Upon receiving an appeal, we will:

  1. Acknowledge receipt of your appeal within 5 business days
  2. Conduct an internal investigation, which may include contacting the reviewer
  3. Evaluate the evidence provided by both parties
  4. Make a determination at our sole discretion
  5. Notify you of our decision within 30 business days

Important: We retain absolute discretion in all content moderation decisions. Our decision is final and not subject to further appeal. We are under no obligation to remove content that constitutes legitimate opinion or fair comment, even if unflattering to an establishment.

We will not remove reviews simply because they are negative. Negative opinions, when genuinely held and based on actual experiences, are protected expression. We will only consider removal in cases of demonstrable fraud, false factual statements, or clear violations of our guidelines.
