Contractual Relationship

READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES.


1.         Effect of GrubUp Terms of Service

a.          GrubUP is an online marketplace that permits Customers to view and search for the menus of Independent Service Providers (Partners) and/or place orders for food or other products from Partners which Partners receive through the Partner Platform.

b.          Subsequently, GrubUP software then notifies other Independent Service Providers (Captains) which are (independent contractors/ riders) that a delivery opportunity is available.

c.          After a Captain communicates their acceptance of the delivery, the GrubUP software facilitates the Captain's completion of the delivery of the Partner Products to the Customer.

d.          You acknowledge and agree that GrubUP is not a merchant, food preparation business, reseller, or delivery service; it is an online marketing and connection platform.

e.          These Terms of Service govern GrubUp’s provision or facilitation to you of the Services, services provided by Independent Service Providers, the App, GrubUp website, content and associated materials.

f.           You access, continued use of the Services, or acceptance by clicking the ‘I Accept’ tick box on the App or our website constitutes your agreement and consent to be bound by these Terms of Service, which established a contractual relationship between you and GrubUp. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you must not access or use the Services.  

g.          By agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Service you agree and acknowledge that you have fully understood and comprehended these Terms of Service.

h.          There Terms of Service supersede all prior agreements, understandings, or communications with you, whether oral or written, unless expressly reference in these Terms of Service.

i.           From time to time, we may vary these Terms of Service by uploading them to our website or App. Amendments or variations shall be effective upon posting of such updated Terms of Service. Your continued use or access of the Services after such posting constitutes you consent to be bound by the Terms of Service.

 

  

2.          GrubUp Services

a.          All GrubUp Services are provided to you in accordance with these Terms of Service. By continuing to use any of the GrubUp Services you irrevocably consent and agreed to these Terms of Services.

b.          Any GrubUp Services are made available to you for non-commercial personal use, unless otherwise agreed by GrubUp in writing or an agreement superseding these Terms of Service is executed between you and GrubUp.

c.          You acknowledge and agree that, at all time:

                     i.     GrubUp does not provide any transportation services whatsoever in connection with the Services;

                    ii.     All transportation services providers are contractors of GrubUp and are not their employees, agents or affiliates; and

                  iii.     GrubUp does not provide any delivery services whatsoever in connection with the Services.

d.          GrubUp does not accept any liability whatsoever in connection with the services provided to you by Independent Service Providers.

e.          The Company makes available a network of independent third-party contractors (“Captains”) who provide delivery services to our users and the Partners (food or beverage service providers). It is up to each Captain to provide such delivery services. The Partners also operate independently of the Company. When you order any food, beverages or other items (an “Order”) from a Partner via the GrubUP platform, that Order will be fulfilled by the relevant Partner (and not by GrubUP). The Services are a marketplace to help you place an order with the Food Service Provider and have that order delivered by a Captain as soon as possible within the time slot selected on the app. Considering it's long distance delivery, Captains may take up to 4 hours to deliver the orders after pick-up from Food Service Providers.  

f.           The Company will not assess the suitability, legality or ability of any Captain or Food Service Provider. The Company is not responsible for the Food Service Providers’ Order, or any food or beverage preparation or safety, and does not verify their compliance with applicable laws or regulations. The Company has no responsibility or liability for acts or omissions by any third-party Food Service Provider or Captain, other than as stated herein.

3.          Provision of GrubUp Services
