Terms of Service
Litchfield Eats Text Club · Effective November 10, 2026
1. Who we are
The Litchfield Eats Text Club (the "Text Club" or "club") is a service of Rieffer Media, a sole proprietorship owned by Edward Gene Rieffer, of Litchfield, Illinois. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean Rieffer Media. The Text Club sends local restaurants' daily specials and deals to members by text message.
By joining or using the Text Club, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't join.
2. Joining the club (diners)
- Joining is free for diners. No purchase is necessary to join.
- You can join by texting EATS to (833) 845-3995, or by signing up on litchfieldeats.com (including the join form linked there).
- When you join, you give us your name, cell phone number, and ZIP code, and you agree to receive the club's texts at that number. Your ZIP code is used to send you specials near you.
- You must be the person who uses that phone number, or have that person's permission to sign it up. Don't sign up a number that isn't yours.
3. Text messaging (SMS) — the marketing texts
When you join, you agree to receive marketing text messages from the Litchfield Eats Text Club (Rieffer Media) at the number you provided. These texts carry daily specials, deals, and offers from local restaurants participating in the club.
- Message frequency varies — up to daily. On a typical day you may receive one or more specials texts; some days you may receive none.
- Message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier and plan.
- Reply STOP at any time to opt out and stop the texts. Reply HELP for help, or email us at contact@rieffermedia.com.
- Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Opting out ends the marketing texts. There is no fee to join and no fee to leave.
4. The specials themselves
Specials, prices, and deals in our texts are set by the restaurants that offer them. A restaurant may change or end a special, and supplies may run out. Show the text at the restaurant as the message describes. Rieffer Media doesn't guarantee any restaurant's prices, availability, or honoring of a special — that's between you and the restaurant — but tell us if a special wasn't honored so we can follow up.
5. Restaurants: paid placement
- Restaurants pay for placement in the club — for listing on litchfieldeats.com and the Litchfield Eats page, and for having their specials sent to members by text. The current featured listing price is posted on litchfieldeats.com ($29/month as of this version).
- Restaurants never receive members' phone numbers. The list stays with the club; we send the texts on the restaurant's behalf.
- A restaurant is responsible for the accuracy of its own specials, prices, and offers, and for honoring what it sends.
- Once a payment has cleared, we do not offer refunds on listing fees.
- A restaurant may cancel its listing at any time by emailing us; cancellation stops the next renewal.
6. Acceptable use
Use the Text Club lawfully. Don't sign up numbers you don't control, don't try to interfere with the service, and don't misuse specials or offers. We may remove a member or a restaurant that breaks these terms.
7. Availability and changes
We work to keep the club running, but we don't promise the service will never be interrupted. We may update, change, or retire parts of the club; if a change materially affects a restaurant's paid listing, we'll give reasonable notice.
8. Liability
The Text Club is provided "as is." To the fullest extent the law allows, Rieffer Media's total liability for any claim connected with the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim (for diners, who pay nothing, that limit is $0 beyond what the law requires), and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
9. Changes to these terms; governing law
If we change these terms, we'll post the new version on this page and update the date at the top. Continuing to use the club after a change means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
