Welcome to San Francisco Pho & Vietnamese Food Guide. These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of SanFranciscoPho.com, including our Vietnamese food directory, business listings, category pages, articles, maps, contact forms, review features, listing claim tools, advertising features, and other website services.
By accessing, browsing, submitting information to, creating an account on, claiming a listing on, advertising through, or otherwise using SanFranciscoPho.com, you agree to these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website.
1. About SanFranciscoPho.com
SanFranciscoPho.com is a local online directory and guide created to help users discover Vietnamese restaurants, pho restaurants, bánh mì shops, Vietnamese coffee shops, cafés, bakeries, dessert shops, noodle shops, bubble tea shops, delis, catering services, and food trucks in San Francisco, California.
We provide business listings, categories, descriptions, addresses, phone numbers, website links, map information, articles, local guides, and other informational content. We are not a restaurant, food delivery service, reservation platform, menu provider, or official representative of every business listed on the website.
2. Acceptance of These Terms
By using SanFranciscoPho.com, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms & Conditions. These Terms apply to all website visitors, users, account holders, reviewers, business owners, listing managers, advertisers, contributors, and anyone who accesses or submits content to the website.
If you use the website on behalf of a business, restaurant, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms on behalf of that entity.
3. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Changes are effective when posted unless otherwise stated.
Your continued use of SanFranciscoPho.com after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms. We encourage users, business owners, and advertisers to review this page periodically.
4. Informational Directory Only
SanFranciscoPho.com is provided for informational and discovery purposes. We work to make the directory useful and accurate, but business information may change at any time.
Restaurant hours, menus, prices, services, availability, delivery options, catering options, business ownership, website links, phone numbers, addresses, accessibility features, parking details, and other information may change without notice. Users should verify important details directly with each business before visiting, ordering, booking, purchasing, or relying on listing information.
5. No Restaurant, Food Safety, or Allergy Advice
SanFranciscoPho.com does not prepare, sell, deliver, package, inspect, or serve food. We do not guarantee food quality, food safety, ingredients, nutrition, allergen information, dietary suitability, kitchen practices, sanitation, licensing, or compliance by any listed business.
If you have food allergies, dietary restrictions, medical conditions, religious food requirements, or ingredient concerns, contact the restaurant or food business directly before ordering or consuming food. Do not rely solely on directory descriptions, article content, menu highlights, user reviews, or third-party information for allergy, health, or safety decisions.
6. Business Listings
Business listings may include information such as business name, category, address, city, state, postal code, phone number, website, description, map coordinates, areas served, menu highlights, photos, tags, and related details.
Listing information may come from business owners, authorized representatives, public websites, public business profiles, user submissions, correction requests, publicly available sources, or our own editorial review. We reserve the right to create, edit, update, categorize, merge, remove, approve, reject, or decline listings at our discretion.
We do not guarantee that a listing will be published, remain published, rank in a particular position, appear in search results, receive traffic, generate customers, or produce any specific business outcome.
7. Listing Accuracy and Corrections
We encourage business owners, managers, users, and visitors to notify us about inaccurate or outdated information. If you believe a listing contains an error, you may contact us and request a correction.
We may review correction requests before publishing changes. We may request additional information to verify a correction, ownership claim, or authority to update a listing. We are not required to make every requested change, and we may decline requests that are inaccurate, unverifiable, promotional, misleading, abusive, or inconsistent with our directory standards.
8. Claiming a Business Listing
Business owners or authorized representatives may be able to claim a listing. By submitting a claim, you represent that you are the owner, manager, employee, agent, or authorized representative of the business and that the information you provide is accurate and lawful.
We may request verification before approving a claim. Verification may include email confirmation, website confirmation, phone confirmation, documentation, business records, or other reasonable steps. We may approve, reject, suspend, reverse, or revoke a claim if we cannot verify authority or if we believe the claim is inaccurate, fraudulent, misleading, abusive, or harmful.
9. User Accounts
Some features may require an account, including submitting reviews, claiming listings, managing listings, contacting businesses, saving favorites, or using business-owner tools. If you create an account, you agree to provide accurate information and keep your login credentials secure.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, submit false information, misuse the website, spam users, manipulate reviews, or interfere with website operations.
10. User Submissions
SanFranciscoPho.com may allow users to submit content, including reviews, ratings, comments, photos, listing details, corrections, menu highlights, messages, business descriptions, reports, and other materials. These are called “User Submissions” in these Terms.

You may not submit fake reviews, paid reviews that are not properly disclosed, competitor attacks, review manipulation, duplicate reviews, offensive content, threats, harassment, private information, or reviews that violate applicable law.
Businesses may not offer compensation, discounts, gifts, or incentives in exchange for positive reviews unless such incentives are lawful and clearly disclosed. Businesses may not threaten users, manipulate ratings, submit fake reviews, or pressure users to remove honest reviews.
