2. Our Services
Vineries provides an online platform that connects users with wineries to facilitate the booking of wine tastings, tours, events, and related experiences ("Experiences").

We reserve the right to:

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent activity.
