# Terms of Use — maca Restu Pro

**Version:** 1.7  
**Last updated:** June 2026  
**Provider:** Maca Development (maca.se)

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your installation and use of the **maca Restu Pro** WordPress plugin ("the Plugin"). By activating the Plugin and checking the acceptance boxes in wp-admin, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and the organisation that operates the WordPress site.

## 1. The Plugin

maca Restu Pro helps restaurants and cafés publish menus on WordPress, including PDF/image menus, QR menus, dish registration, guest ratings, table ordering, optional guest online payments (Stripe and/or Swish), table booking, guest AI chat (Chatt), a guest language switcher, backups, and related features. The Plugin runs on your own WordPress installation; Maca Development does not host your website, menu content, or guest payments.

The Plugin is distributed under the **GNU General Public License v2 or later** for the open-source code. Certain Pro features require a separate **commercial license key** (`ML-PRO-…`) purchased from maca.se. A license key is valid for **one WordPress installation** unless otherwise agreed in writing.

## 2. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

- All menu content you publish (text, prices, images, PDFs, allergens, alcohol information, and legal notices).
- Ensuring that allergen information, VAT/pricing statements, and age limits shown to guests are **accurate and comply with applicable law** in your country and municipality.
- Configuring the Plugin correctly (scheduling, QR URLs, staff PINs, order flows, table booking, and footer texts).
- WordPress security updates, backups beyond the Plugin's own backup feature, HTTPS, and access control to wp-admin.
- Informing guests about how you process personal data when using table ordering, table booking, ratings, payments, or similar features (see the Privacy Policy).
- If you enable **guest online payments:** agreements, accounts, and configuration with **Stripe**, **Swish** (or your bank/technical partner), correct prices and VAT, receipts, refunds, and chargeback handling.

Table ordering is primarily an **internal order tool** (orders to kitchen/wait staff). Table booking handles **reservation requests** for your venue. The Plugin is **not** a certified payment terminal, POS system, or food-safety certification system.

If you enable **guest payments** under **maca Restu → Payments**, guests may choose **pay online** (e.g. Stripe Checkout) and/or **pay with server** (staff mark the order paid). Online payments are processed by **third parties** (Stripe, Swish, or your bank/partner). Maca Development does not receive, hold, or pay out guest funds. You remain responsible for food handling, service, your payment timing settings, and ensuring your setup complies with applicable law. Without guest payments enabled in the Plugin, you may still collect payment manually (e.g. card terminal or in-person Swish) outside the Plugin.

**Two separate Stripe uses:** (1) **Pro license** on maca.se — payment to Maca Development; (2) **guest payments** — your own Stripe or Swish account for restaurant revenue. Use separate keys and agreements.

If you enable **order status for guests**, staff may show a **Guest QR** code so the guest can reopen order status on a new device. The link contains a secret guest token — only show the QR to the correct guest at the table and inform guests per your privacy notice.

If you enable **Chatt** with your own **OpenAI API key**: you are responsible for index content, informing guests per the privacy policy, and ensuring AI answers are based on indexed material. The chat does not replace staff, real-time booking, or allergen verification. OpenAI costs bill to your account.

## 3. Acceptable use

You may not:

- Reverse engineer, resell, or sublicense license keys except as permitted by your purchase agreement.
- Use the Plugin for unlawful content or to infringe third-party rights.
- Attempt to bypass license validation or Pro feature restrictions.
- Use the Plugin in a way that could harm maca.se, other customers, or the license API.

We may suspend or revoke a license key in cases of fraud, abuse, or material breach of these Terms.

## 4. Pro license and subscription

If you purchase a Pro license:

- **Annual** licenses are priced as shown on [maca.se/restu-pro/](https://maca.se/restu-pro/) at checkout: introductory price **499 SEK per year** through **31 August 2026**, then **799 SEK per year** from **1 September 2026** (unless otherwise stated on maca.se).
- Annual licenses **renew automatically** via Stripe each year until cancelled; failure to renew may disable Pro subscription features.
- **Lifetime** licenses are **not** offered for new purchases on maca.se at this time; older keys may still be valid under the terms that applied at purchase.
- License validation sends your **license key** and **site URL** to the maca.se license API when you activate, deactivate, or during periodic checks.

Current prices and feature descriptions on maca.se apply as displayed at checkout.

## 5. Support and updates

Maca Development may provide updates, bug fixes, and documentation at its discretion. Unless otherwise agreed, support is limited to documentation, the user guide in wp-admin, and reasonable contact via maca.se.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, compatibility with every theme or plugin, or that the Plugin meets every regulatory requirement in every jurisdiction without your own configuration and legal review.

## 6. Disclaimer of warranties

The Plugin is provided **"as is"** and **"as available"**, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

## 7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maca Development shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business interruption arising from use of the Plugin.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Plugin or a Pro license shall not exceed the amount you paid to Maca Development for that license in the **twelve (12) months** before the claim, or **500 SEK** if no fee was paid, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the minimum permitted by law.

## 8. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms when the Plugin or legal requirements change. The version number at the top of this document and in wp-admin indicates the current version. **Material updates require renewed acceptance** in **maca Restu → Terms & Privacy** before continued use.

## 9. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of **Sweden**, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes shall be brought before Swedish courts, with **Malmö District Court** as the first instance unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.
