Terms of Use.

Informational use

CrabPretzels.com is an independent food and restaurant guide. Listings, prices, hours, menus, ingredients, and availability can change without notice. Confirm important details directly with a restaurant before visiting or ordering.

No restaurant affiliation or guarantee

Unless expressly stated, the site is not affiliated with or endorsed by listed restaurants or referenced brands. Inclusion is not a guarantee of quality, safety, accessibility, allergen practices, or continued availability.

Recipes and food safety

Recipes are provided for general informational purposes. Use appropriate food-handling practices, account for allergies and dietary needs, follow appliance instructions, and cook perishable ingredients to safe temperatures. You are responsible for deciding whether a recipe is appropriate for you.

Community ratings

Community ratings and comments reflect the opinions of individual contributors, not the site owner. Contributors must describe genuine experiences and may not submit unlawful, abusive, deceptive, promotional, infringing, or private information. The site may hide or remove content and may limit duplicate or suspicious voting.

Restaurant submissions and messages

By submitting text, links, or other materials, you confirm that you have the right to provide them and allow CrabPretzels.com to review, edit, verify, and publish the non-personal portions for operation of the guide. Submission does not guarantee publication.

Annual award

The Maryland Crab Pretzel of the Year is a public-vote award. Eligibility, voting periods, verification methods, and tie procedures may be clarified before each annual ballot. Paid placement will not determine the winner.

Intellectual property

The CrabPretzels.com name, original writing, design, logo, scoring presentation, and other original site material may not be republished or sold without permission. Restaurant names, menu descriptions, and third-party marks remain the property of their respective owners.

External links

The site links to restaurant websites, menus, maps, and other third-party services. CrabPretzels.com does not control those services and is not responsible for their availability, content, privacy practices, or transactions.

Changes and contact

These terms may be updated as the guide evolves. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Questions or correction requests may be sent through the contact page.
