Prelaunch draft — not reviewed by counsel
Terms of Use
Last updated October 2026. This draft describes the current preview and may change before launch.
These draft terms apply to the Nearfolk preview. They are not final and have not been reviewed by qualified counsel.
The preview
- Nearfolk is not yet taking orders, payments or reservations, and is not paying out cooks.
- Cooks, dishes, ratings, reviews and hosted tables shown publicly are sample content.
- No liability waiver is active.
Independent cooks
When transactions launch, cooks will be independent people, not Nearfolk employees. Nearfolk does not guarantee food safety, sanitation, allergen-free preparation or the condition of any home or kitchen.

Fees when payments launch
Diners will pay a service fee on the meal or seat subtotal and cooks will pay a commission on meal or seat proceeds. Current percentages are shown on each listing and in cook earnings. No platform fee applies to taxes or tips, and cooks keep 100% of tips.
Versioned documents you accept in your account are listed on the legal documents page, with downloadable copies.
