1. INTRODUCTION AND OUR ROLE
1.3. Service: We provide a way for you to communicate your
orders ("Orders") for products ("Products") to delivery or
takeaway restaurants ("Restaurants") displayed on the Website
(the"Service").
2. WEBSITE ACCESS AND TERMS
2.1. Website access: You may access some areas of the
Website without making an Order or registering your details with us. Most areas
of the Website are open to everyone.
2.2. Acceptance of terms: By accessing any part of the
Website, you indicate that you accept these Website Terms. If you do not accept
these Website Terms, you should leave the Website immediately, and you will not
be able to order any Products through the Website.
2.3. Revision of terms: We may revise these Website Terms at
any time. You should check the Website regularly to review the current Website
Terms, because they are binding on you. You will be subject to the policies and
terms and conditions in force at the time that you place an Order through us.
2.4. Responsibility: You are responsible for making all
arrangements necessary for you to have access to the Website. You are also
responsible for ensuring that all persons who access the Website through your
Internet connection are aware of these Website Terms and that they comply with
them.
3. YOUR STATUS
3.1. Capacity and age: By placing an Order through the
Website, you warrant that:
3.1.1. You are legally capable of entering into binding
contracts; and
3.1.2. You are at least 18 years old.
3.2. Alcohol and cigarettes: Furthermore, you acknowledge
and agree that:
3.2.1. Pursuant to the Licensing Act 1964, it is an offence
for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating
liquor, or for any person over the age of 18 to buy intoxicating liquor on
behalf of any person under the age of 18;
3.2.2. Cigarettes are not for sale to persons under the age
of 18; and
3.2.3. Orders containing either alcohol or cigarettes can
therefore not be accepted from or on behalf of persons under the age of 18.
4. HOW TO MAKE AN ORDER AND HOW IT IS PROCESSED
4.1. Compiling your Order: Once you have selected the
Products you wish to order from the menu of your chosen Restaurant and provided
the other required information, you will be given the opportunity to submit
your Order by clicking or selecting the "proceed", "place my
order" or similar button. It is important that you check all the
information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking or selecting
this button; once you do so we will start processing your Order and errors
cannot be corrected.
4.2. Amending or cancelling your Order: Once you have
submitted your Order and your payment has been authorised, you will not be
entitled to change or cancel your Order, nor will you be entitled to a refund
(please refer to paragraph 4.4 for details of the process relating to rejected
Orders). If you wish to change or cancel your Order, you may contact our
Customer Care team as described in paragraph 6.3 and they will attempt to
contact the Restaurant in order to communicate your requests. However, there is
no guarantee that we will be able to reach the Restaurant or that the
Restaurant will agree to your requests as they may have already started processing
your Order.
4.3. Payment authorisation: Where any payment you make is
not authorised, your Order will not be processed or communicated to the
relevant Restaurant.
4.4. Processing your Order and Restaurant rejections: On
receipt of your Order, we will begin processing it by sending it to the
relevant Restaurant and will notify you by email that your Order has been
received and is being processed. Please note that any confirmation page that
you may see on the Website and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may
receive each merely indicate that your Order has been received and is being
processed by us, and does not necessarily mean that your Order has been
accepted by the Restaurant. We encourage all our Restaurants to accept all
Orders and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you
(generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Restaurant rejects
your Order. However, Restaurants have the discretion to reject Orders at any
time because they are too busy, due to weather conditions or for any other
reason.
4.5. Delivery of your Order: Estimated times for deliveries
and collections are provided by the Restaurants and are only estimates. Neither
we nor the Restaurants guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be
available for collection within the estimated times.
5. PRICE AND PAYMENT
5.1. VAT and delivery costs: Prices will be as quoted on the
Website. These prices include VAT but may exclude delivery costs (if you opt
for delivery instead of collection) and any online payment administration
charge imposed by the Restaurant (if you pay for your Order online). These will
be added to the total amount due where applicable.
5.2. Incorrect pricing: This Website contains a large number
of menus and it is possible that some of the menus may include incorrect
prices. If the correct price for an Order is higher than the price stated on
the Website, we will normally contact you before the relevant Order is
dispatched. In such an event, neither we nor the relevant Restaurant is under
any obligation to ensure that the Order is provided to you at the incorrect
lower price or to compensate you in respect of incorrect pricing.
5.3. Payment methods: Payment for Orders must be made by an
accepted credit or debit card through the Website or in cash to the Restaurant
at the point of delivery to you.
5.4. Card payments: If you pay by credit or debit card, you
may be required to show the card to the Restaurant at the time of delivery as
proof of identification and so that they can check that the card conforms with
the receipt data for the Order. Please note that from time to time there may be
delays with the processing of card payments and transactions; this may result
in payments taking up to sixty (60) days to be deducted from your bank account
or charged to your credit or debit card.
5.5. Credit and discount vouchers: A credit or discount may
apply to your Order if you use a promotional voucher or code recognised by the
Website and endorsed by this website, and you pay for any balance by credit or
debit card. Please refer to our Voucher Terms & Conditions for the full
terms and conditions applicable to the use of credit and discount vouchers.
Please note that because of standard banking procedures, your bank or card
issuer will initially "ring-fence" the full amount of the Order
(before any credit or discount) in your account for between 3 to 5 working days
(or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer), and this amount will
therefore be unavailable in your account for that period. The credit or
discount will be applied at the time your bank or card issuer transfers the
funds for your Order to us, at which point the credit or discounted amount will
not be transferred to us and will instead be released by your bank or card
issuer back into your available balance. You acknowledge and agree that neither
we nor the relevant Restaurant will be responsible or liable to you in relation
to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into
your account.
5.6. Rejected Orders: Because of standard banking
procedures, once you have submitted an Order that you are paying for by credit
or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer
will "ring-fence" the full amount of your Order. If your Order is
subsequently rejected by the Restaurant (as described in paragraph 4.4 above)
or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer
the funds for the Order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount
back into your available balance. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working
days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and
agree that neither we nor the relevant Restaurant will be responsible or liable
to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of
funds back into your account.
6. CUSTOMER CARE
6.1. General: Customer care is extremely important to us.
Subject to paragraphs 6.5 and 11, our Customer Care team will therefore try to
assist you where possible if you have any problems with your Order. You can
contact our Customer Care team by clicking or selecting the "Need
help?", "Help" or similar button or by calling the telephone
number shown on the Website.
6.2. Questions about your Order: If your Order is taking
longer than expected or you have any other problems with your Order, you can
contact our Customer Care Team as described above and one of our Customer Care
Advisers will attempt to contact the Restaurant in order to follow up on your
query.
6.3. Changing or cancelling your Order: If you wish to
change or cancel your Order after it has been submitted and payment has been
authorised, you may contact our Customer Care team as described above and they
will attempt to contact the Restaurant in order to communicate your requests.
However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach the Restaurant or
that the Restaurant will agree to your requests as they may have already
started processing your Order.
6.4. Complaints or feedback: In the event that you are dissatisfied
with the quality of any Products or the service provided by a Restaurant,
please consider providing feedback in the form of ratings, comments and reviews
on the Website (together, "Reviews") to reflect your experience. The
Reviews are an important part of our quality control process.
6.5. Compensation: If you are dissatisfied with the quality
of any Products or the service provided by a Restaurant and wish to seek a
refund, a proportionate price reduction or any other compensation, you should
contact the Restaurant directly to lodge your complaint and, where appropriate,
follow the Restaurant's own complaint procedures. If you are unable to contact
the Restaurant, or the Restaurant refuses to deal with your complaint, you can
contact our Customer Care Team as described above within 48 hours of placing
your Order and one of our Customer Care Advisers will attempt to contact the
Restaurant in order to request compensation on your behalf. Please note that we
have no control over Restaurants and the quality of the Products or service
that they provide, and we not able to provide, and have no responsibility or
liability for providing, any compensation to you on behalf of any Restaurant.
