Terms of use

Last updated 3 November 2026

These terms are the rules for using The Settle. When you use the app, you agree to them.

Who we are

The Settle is made by an individual developer in Dublin, Ireland. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean that developer.

The Settle is about alcohol. You must be 18 or over to use it.

The Settle helps you choose where to drink. It does not ask you to drink more. Know your limits, and never drink and drive.

For advice about alcohol, go to drinkaware.ie.

Keep your sign-in details safe. You are responsible for what you post from your account.

Ratings, comments and photos must be your own honest view. Do not post:

abuse, threats, hate or harassment;
personal data about other people, such as names, photos of faces, or contact details;
false ratings, or ratings for a pub you did not visit;
content that is illegal or that you do not have the right to share.

We can remove any content that breaks these rules. We can suspend or close an account that breaks them. We do not have to tell you first.

To report content, use Report in the app or contact us through the support page.

You keep ownership of what you post. You give us a free, non-exclusive licence to store it and show it to other users within the app.

This licence ends when you delete the content or your account.

"Guinness" is a trade mark of its owner. The Settle is an independent app. It has no connection with Guinness or Diageo, and they do not endorse it.

Pub names belong to their owners. Ratings are the views of the users who post them.

We try to keep the app working and the pub data correct. We cannot promise that it is always available or free of errors.

Nothing in these terms limits your rights under Irish consumer law.

If we change these terms, we update this page and the date at the top. If a change is important, we tell you in the app.

Irish law applies to these terms. The courts of Ireland deal with any dispute.
