Changes to Services
You acknowledge and agree that Cluck-U, Corp. may, at its discretion and without notice, modify, update, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Online Services, including pushing software updates to or removing functionality from its mobile apps.

Independent Operators and Third Parties
While Cluck-U, Corp. owns and operates the core Online Services, many restaurants listed on the platform are independently owned and operated by franchisees. Cluck-U, Corp. is not responsible for the operations, compliance, or employment practices of these independently run establishments. Each franchisee bears sole responsibility for complying with local laws, fulfilling product offerings, and managing employment matters at its locations.
Employment Opportunities
Cluck-U, Corp. and all affiliated restaurants are equal opportunity employers committed to fostering diverse workplaces. The Online Services may feature job postings submitted by Cluck-U, Corp. or by independently owned restaurants. Any job listing posted by a franchisee is the sole responsibility of that franchisee, including all hiring decisions, job requirements, and employment policies.

Contact Information
If you have questions or feedback regarding the Online Services, please visit the Contact Us section within the platform.
Communications
By using the Online Services, you may choose to opt in to receive communications from Cluck-U, Corp., including emails, SMS text messages to the mobile number you provide, and push notifications. By opting in to any of these communication channels, you acknowledge and consent to receive marketing, transactional, promotional, and service-related messages from Cluck-U, Corp. Communications will be sent in accordance with our Privacy Statement and based on the information you have provided.
You have control over how you receive communications from us. Your communication preferences may be managed through the profile or settings section of the Online Services. Additionally, certain device-specific communications, such as mobile app push notifications, may be adjusted using your device’s settings. Most communications will also include an option to opt out, such as an “unsubscribe” link in emails. Please note that communication preferences must often be managed separately for each communication channel. For instance, opting out of marketing emails does not automatically unsubscribe you from marketing text messages.
While we strive to make managing your preferences as straightforward as possible, certain communications—such as those related to your account or transactions—may only be discontinued by closing your Online Services account. If you are receiving communications from an independently operated Cluck-U, Corp. franchisee, you must contact that franchisee directly to manage or opt out of their communications.
If you enroll in our text messaging programs, you agree to be governed by Cluck-U, Corp.’s Text Messaging Program Terms & Conditions. You understand that such messages may be sent via an automated messaging system and that your consent to receive these texts is not a condition of any purchase. To withdraw your consent and unsubscribe, you may text STOP to the applicable short code or contact us directly.
