Our services. We provide a Platform for food and beverage retailers (our “Business Customer(s)”) and food and produce suppliers (our “Supplier(s)”). The Platform allows Business Customers and Suppliers to communicate regarding orders (the “Order”) for food and beverage products (the “Products” (the “Services”)).

Our contract.These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to the supply of the Services by us to you ("Contract") . They apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

Entire agreement. The Contract is the entire agreement between you and us in relation to its subject matter. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation or assurance or warranty that is not set out in the Contract.

Acceptance of these Terms. By downloading our Platform either via Google Play, the AppStore, or the links provided to you on our website, you indicate that you accept these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you should leave our Platform immediately, and you will not be able to make an Order.

Closing your account. You may close your account at any time by deleting our Platform from your device. We may suspend your access to your account, or close it permanently, if we believe that your account has been used by someone else. We may also close your account if in our opinion you are abusing our Services (for example, by applying for refunds or credit to which we do not consider you are entitled, making repeated unreasonable complaints, mistreating our staff, other Business Customers or a Supplier’s staff, or any other good reason).

• 2.5.1deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
• 2.5.2update our Platform to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
• 2.5.3make changes to the Services or our Platform as requested by you or notified by us to you.

Accessing our Platform. You may access some areas of our Platform without making an Order.

Placing your Order. Once you have selected the Products you wish to order and provided any other required information, you will be given the opportunity to submit your Order. It is important that you ensure that all the information that you enter is correct, and that you correct any errors before clicking or selecting this button; once you do so we will start processing your Order and errors cannot be corrected, except in the case of manifest error.

Processing your Order and rejections. On receipt of your Order, we will begin processing it by sending it to the relevant Supplier. Please note that any confirmation page that you may see on our Platform merely indicates 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 Supplier. You can view the status of your Order under the “Order History” tab in the Platform. We encourage all our Suppliers to accept all Orders, however, Suppliers have the discretion to reject Orders at any time (including where Products are out of stock).

If we cannot accept your Order. If the Supplier is unable to accept your Order for any reason, this information will be provided under the “Order History” tab. This might be because of unexpected limits on the Supplier resources, due to Supplier capacity issues, where the Supplier has temporarily gone offline or because the Supplier is unable to meet a delivery timeline you have specified.

Delivery of your Order. During the Order process we provide you with the Supplier’s estimated time that your Order will be delivered only under the “Order History” tab. We are not responsible for the delivery of the Order, which is the sole responsibility of the Supplier. Neither we nor the Supplier guarantee that Orders will be delivered within the estimated times. When you place the Order, you agree to a contact name and phone number being published on the purchase order for the purpose of detail verification and or contact by us or the Supplier. Suppliers will deliver the Products to you during their normal working hours. You must be present to receive the delivery at the location given when making the Order. Suppliers are under no obligation to leave Products at a premises where there is no Business Customer personnel present to receive the Products. The Supplier is under no obligation to attempt to deliver the products again and is not responsible for the quality of the Products after the delivery time specified. [Please see our Privacy Policy for further details on how we process and manage personal data, to the extent any data is collected in the Order.]

We are not responsible for delays outside our control. he availability of our Suppliers and their Products and relevant stock is based on the information provided to us by the Supplier. Any delay of the supply of the Products is the responsibility of the Supplier, and if the supply of the Products is delayed by an event outside the Supplier’s control, they will contact you to inform you, and/or refund you (at their own discretion).

Cancellation or change of Order.

However, if you wish to change or cancel your Order including for example in the event of manifest error by you when placing the Order, you may contact the Supplier directly, details of which are set out in our Platform. However, while the Supplier will use their best endeavours to deal with your request, depending on the nature of Products in your Order and the amount of time that has passed since the Order was placed, there is no guarantee that your request will be able to be dealt with, as your Order may already have been processed.

Problems with the Products. If you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the service provided by a Supplier and wish to seek a refund, a proportionate price reduction or any other compensation, you should contact the Supplier directly to lodge your complaint and, where appropriate, follow the Supplier's own complaint procedures.
