2. WHAT WE DO

 

Foodora operates and manages the Platform, which is an aggregator for the delivery of Goods. Through our Platform, foodora connects you and facilitates the conclusion of a purchase contract with the Vendors (hereinafter “Mediated Contract”) allowing you to order various Goods to be delivered to you or, where applicable, pick them up at the Vendors´ premises. When you place an Order, foodora acts as an intermediary between you and the Vendor to facilitate ordering the Goods, processing the Goods, entering into the Mediated Contract with the Vendor, allowing us and/or the Vendor itself to deliver your Order to you or, if applicable, allowing you to collect it. Where delivery is arranged by the Vendor, you will be notified accordingly in the profile of each respective Vendor. Unless otherwise stated, we will deliver your Order.

Ranking of Vendors

When searching for Vendors and Goods on the Platform, search results are ranked primarily based on the following criteria:

The content of Your search: The search results that most closely reflect the wording of Your search query will be listed higher, e.g. Vendors' name, the Goods, and/or a specific offer. If Your search query consists of special characteristics related to Goods (e.g. a certain type of dish) or Vendors (e.g. a certain type of restaurant), the search results that most closely reflect such characteristics will be listed higher.

Opening hours, distance and delivery time: The order of the search results is also based on the opening hours, distance and delivery time of the relevant Vendor to Your specified delivery address. For example, a shorter delivery time means a higher ranking. Should there be more than one Vendor under the same brand group in the same delivery area, the search results can be limited to show only the Vendor within that brand group with the shortest delivery time. Note that changing the delivery address or choosing the Pick-Up option may change the search results.

Popularity: The popularity of a Vendor can affect the ranking of the search results. Popularity is measured, for example, by views and/or orders placed within a specific time frame. The greater the popularity, the higher the listing.

Vendors can influence the ranking of their profile on the Platform for a fee, as well as to influence the ranking of their profile when using the search function. Profiles that are prioritized for a fee are usually labelled as “sponsored”. If the ranking of the Vendors´ profile is not changed by a fee, the Vendors´ profiles are usually ranked according to the following criteria: distance of the Vendor from the Customer, delivery time of the Goods, review of the Customer, and possibly the preparation time of the Goods.

Other criteria may also influence the ranking. The relative importance of the mentioned criteria depends, among other things, on Your search query and from where, geographically, You are making the search. However, as a general rule, the Vendor who best match Your search query or have the most of the Products You have searched for will be at the top. However, a Vendor may get a higher ranking if it has high ratings (high popularity) or if it can deliver quickly.

Unless otherwise stated on the Vendor´s offer page, Vendors are business entities operating under the applicable laws in force in the Czech Republic, in particular civil and consumer law, including European legislation relating to consumer protection.

6.3 ORDERING PROCESS

When you place an Order through our Platform, you are entering into a purchase contract (Mediated Contract) directly with the Seller. The Purchase Contract between you and the Seller is concluded after the Seller accepts your Order, except for the Purchase Contract relating to the purchase of tobacco products and electronic cigarettes (the conclusion procedure is set out in Article 9 of these Terms and Conditions). After the conclusion of the Mediated Contract, we will inform you by a confirmation via an in-app notification and/or email and/or any other method you have enabled in your account settings. Upon receipt of your Order, a delivery confirmation/receipt/proof of purchase will be sent to the email you have provided. In addition to the price for the Goods, the Order will also include any delivery fees, service fee and any applicable tax (e.g. value added tax etc.), if applicable. If Goods are delivered directly by the Vendor, the Vendor will issue you a tax receipt for the delivery fee.

6.4 MINIMUM ORDER VALUE

Some Vendors require a minimum Order Value (“MOV”) before you are allowed to order and receive the Goods. If the relevant Order is below the MOV, you will have the option to pay up the difference to meet the MOV or add additional Goods to the Order.

6.5 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

You can request the Vendor to change the Goods according to your needs by using the appropriate function (instructions) to make any changes in the Goods offered by the Vendor. If this function is used, the Vendor will try to satisfy your requirements, insofar as it is feasible, commercially reasonable and justified. You hereby acknowledge that the Vendor will not bear any liability in this respect for any Order that fails to meet your special requirements.

6.6 ALLERGENS

Goods listed and offered on the Platform may contain allergens. If information about ingredients or allergens is provided on the Platform, it is provided by the relevant Vendor, who is also responsible for its accuracy. If you have any allergies, allergic reactions or dietary restrictions and requirements, please contact the Vendor before placing an Order on our Platform using the contact details of the Vendors listed on the Platform in the relevant Vendors section and/or contact us via the help center on the Platform in the user section of your Account and/or via the email address [email protected]. Customer support will provide information on the exact allergens in the respective Goods, if applicable. This information provided by the Seller is also available to Customers at the time of delivery by the relevant delivery person.

6.7 CANCELLING AN ORDER;

If you wish to cancel an Order you placed, please contact us immediately via the customer support chat in the application.

6.8 REFUND

6.8.1 ONLINE PAYMENT METHOD (INCL. TWISTO PAYMENTS)

You have the right to a refund for a cancelled Order only if the Vendor has not yet accepted your Order. If you decide to cancel your Order after the Vendor has accepted it, you acknowledge that no refund (whether full or partial) will be granted and you will lose the right to delivery of your cancelled Order. Nothing in this Section will prejudice your statutory right to withdraw from a contract as set out in Section 24 of these Terms.

6.8.2 CASH ON DELIVERY (PAYING ORDER WHEN DELIVERED BY A COURIER)

You have the right to cancel the Order only if the Vendor has not yet accepted it. If you choose to cancel your Order after the Vendor has accepted it, you acknowledge that you will lose your right to delivery of the cancelled Order and cash on delivery may be removed from the list of available payment methods for your future Orders. Nothing in this Section will prejudice your statutory right to withdraw from a Mediated Contract as set out in Section 24 of these Terms.

6.9 PARTIAL ORDER FULFILMENT

As we make all efforts reasonably required by us to offer all Goods of the Vendor on our Platform, this may not always be the case. Therefore, the Platform has a feature that gives you the choice of automatically cancelling the entire Order in the event that the Vendor unfortunately does not have the Goods you have ordered on the Platform. This feature also gives you the option to set that in the event of unavailability of any of the Vendor's Goods, you will receive the Order without the Goods that are unavailable at the Vendor, i.e. that only a part of the Order will be cancelled to the extent of the unavailability of the Vendor's Goods. This function is always available in the details (description) of the individual Vendor's Goods advertised via the Platform.

 

7. DELIVERY

 

7. 1 DELIVERY AREA

You acknowledge that Vendors only offer their Goods in certain delivery areas. The delivery areas vary for each Vendor.

7.2 USING PHONE NUMBER FOR DELIVERY

You acknowledge that you will be contacted by the Vendor or foodora by email or over-the-phone at the number you have provided to foodora, in accordance with the privacy policy published and freely available on the Platform, for the purposes of the performance of the Mediated Contract.

7.3 DELIVERY TIME

Foodora and/or the Vendor (depending on who makes delivery) will deliver your Order to the delivery address you provided. If the Platform indicates that it is available, you may choose to have your Order delivered “As soon as possible” or scheduled to be delivered at a specific time (Pre-Order). The estimated delivery time will be communicated to you in the confirmation email and also displayed on the Order tracking page. However, the delivery time depends on factors beyond our control (e.g. Order quantity, distance, time of day (peak hours), weather conditions, traffic conditions, etc.). You can view the remaining delivery time of your Order by going to the “My Orders” section on the Platform. You acknowledge that the delivery time indicated is only an estimate and Orders may arrive earlier or later. Make sure that you or your representative are in the delivery location after placing the Order and wait for and receive the Order at the delivery location, otherwise you can miss the delivery. If your Order contains any Restricted Goods (as defined in Section 9.1 below) and you or your representative are not of legal age or provide valid identification, foodora reserves the right to reject delivery to you or your representative and to cancel the Order.

7.4 UNSUCCESSFUL DELIVERY OF GOODS

The Delivery Person will contact You by telephone at the first attempt to deliver the Order to the Delivery Location once it is in the immediate vicinity of the Delivery Location. In the event that the delivery person is unable to reach you by telephone on the first delivery attempt, the delivery person will remain at the delivery location for 4 (four) minutes and attempt to contact you again by telephone. After two unsuccessful attempts by the delivery person to contact you, the delivery person will contact our customer support who will try to contact you again by telephone. If the delivery person still fails to deliver the Order to you, the delivery person will leave the delivery location and the Vendor and/or we shall be entitled to cancel the Order without refund. This is without prejudice to Your right to withdraw from the Mediated Contract pursuant to clause 24 of these Terms of Use.

7.4.2 Where the subject of the Order is not the Goods referred to in paragraph 7.4.1., we and/or the Partner are also entitled to cancel the Order, whereby we and/or the Vendor are entitled to demand and charge you a lump sum reimbursement of the costs associated with the delivery and shipping of the Order in the amount of CZK 400.

7.4.3. If we and/or the Vendor cancel an unpaid (online) Order under the above rules containing (i) perishable Goods and/or (ii) Goods that have been irretrievably mixed with other Goods after delivery and/or (iii) Goods that have been modified according to your wishes, the amount corresponding to the full price of the Order will constitute a receivable of foodora and/or the Vendor from you.

7.4.4. If we and/or the Vendor cancel an unpaid (online) Order in accordance with the above rules containing Goods not listed in Article 7.4.3 of these Terms of Use, the lump sum amount of the reimbursement of the shipping and delivery costs of the Order set out in Article 7.4.2 of these Terms of Use will constitute our or Vendor´s receivable from you.

7.4.5. If we and/or the Vendor cancel an unpaid (online) Order in accordance with the above rules containing Goods not listed in Article 7.4.3 of these Terms of Use, but the amount of which does not exceed the lump sum reimbursement of the costs associated with shipping and delivery of the Order referred to in Article 7.4.2. of these Terms, the amount corresponding to the difference between the amount of the reimbursed costs associated with the delivery and shipping of the Order and the amount of the paid Order will be our or the Vendor´s receivable from the User.

7.5 WRONG ORDER, MISSING GOODS, DEFECTIVE GOODS

If, after receipt of your Order, you discover that the Goods are defective (poor quality, missing items, etc.) please contact our customer support without undue delay (immediately). In some cases, foodora may require you to provide relevant photographs and/or other information about the circumstances as proof to allow proper investigation of the issue. If it is demonstrated that the performance of the Mediated Contract was defective, we will proceed in accordance with generally binding regulations to remedy the defects you claim.

7.6 DELIVERY OF GOODS BY THE VENDOR

In some cases, the Goods will be delivered to you by our Vendors (hereinafter “Vendor Delivery”). You will be notified in such a case on our Platform on the relevant Vendor´s page. Where Vendor Delivery is concerned, we may ask you to contact the Vendor directly in the event of a problem. In this context, foodora will not be liable for the performance of the Mediated Contract and/or the Goods that are delivered by the Vendor, unless otherwise stated in Article 16 of these Terms of Use.

7.7 CONTACTLESS DELIVERY

You may choose (for some of the Goods offered) contactless delivery (delivery of the Order to the front door of the designated delivery address without personal contact) as one of the delivery options. In this context, foodora will not be liable for any theft, damage, contamination and/or other deterioration of the Goods that occurs after delivery.

7.8 PRIORITY DELIVERY

You are entitled to select priority delivery when choosing a delivery method, which is charged at the amount indicated in the web interface. The priority delivery service is a chargeable service which guarantees that the delivery person will travel with your order directly from the point of dispatch to the point of delivery without any intermediate stop (e.g. delivery of another parcel). The delivery time indicated when selecting the priority delivery service is only indicative and is mainly dependent on external factors.

 

8. ORDER PICK-UP AT VENDOR PREMISES – PERSONAL PICK-UP

 

8.1 PERSONAL PICK-UP PROCESS

Where the Platform allows personal pick-up, you will have the option to pick up your Order in person at Vendor premises (hereinafter “Personal Pick-Up”) instead of having your Order delivered to you by either us and/or the Vendor. Your email confirmation will state when you can pick up your Order (hereinafter “Pick-Up Time”). The Vendor will prepare the Order for pick-up by the Pick-Up Time. In certain cases, reasonable delays can be expected. Vendor agrees to hold the Order for you at its premises for no longer than thirty (30) minutes from the designated Pick-up Time (hereinafter “Waiting Time”) and is not obligated to provide the Order to you if you fail to pick it up within the Waiting Time. In the event you fail to pick up the Order within the Waiting Time, we and/or the Vendor will be entitled to cancel the Order without refund. For this purpose, Article 7.3 of these Terms of Use applies analogically.

8.2 LIABILITY

In the event of unreasonable delay in picking up your Order due to your fault, you bear the risk of damage to or loss of the Goods or deterioration in the quality or change in the condition of the Goods (e.g. change in temperature suitable for consumption). In this case, you will not be entitled to a refund or replacement. You are solely responsible for inspecting the Goods/Order at pick-up and you must report any problems and/or defects to the Vendor before leaving the Vendor premises.

9.3.2. refuse delivery to any person for any reason.

9.5 AGE VERIFICATION SYSTEM

Foodora, as the entity operating the Platform facilitating the conclusion of purchase agreements between Sellers and Customers through remote communication means, is equipped with a computer system that can reliably verify the consumer's age at the time of sale in the manner described below.

Placing an Order containing Tobacco Products via the Platform from the Seller is only available to Customers who have a properly registered User Account on the Platform. Only registered users are allowed to add tobacco products to their shopping cart on the Platform.

The mediated agreement between the Seller and the Customer regarding the purchase of Tobacco Products is only formed upon the Seller’s acceptance of the Order. The acceptance of the Order for Tobacco Products by the Seller occurs when the Seller confirms the Order through the Platform and acknowledges its receipt, sent to the email address provided by the Customer in the Order. The acceptance of the order for Tobacco Products is subject to the suspensive condition of the Customer's age verification as provided for by these Terms and Conditions.

If age verification does not occur, the Seller’s acceptance of the Order for Tobacco Products does not become effective, and the mediated purchase agreement for Tobacco Products between the Seller and the Customer is not concluded. Any payment made by the Customer for Tobacco Products through the Platform is only a deposit towards the purchase price of the Tobacco Products, and in the event that age verification does not occur, Foodora will promptly return the deposit to the Customer.

The age verification process for the sale of tobacco products occurs as follows:

Age verification during the first Order: Before submitting the Order on the Platform, the Customer will be asked to enter their date of birth. Prior to delivering the first Order containing Tobacco Products, the delivery person will verify the Customer’s age using an electronic system accessible via an application on the delivery person's mobile device. The data is not stored in the mobile phone application but is instead saved directly into the Platform’s internal computer system through an application interface.
At the delivery location, the Customer must present their identification (passport, ID card) to the delivery person, who will verify the Customer’s identity and age by viewing the ID and entering the date of birth into the internal computer system to match the data registered for the Customer (their user profile).
When ordering Tobacco Products, only the Customer can receive the Tobacco Products (there is a clear identification of the person). If the Customer's age is not verified, the delivery person is not authorized to hand over the Tobacco Products or accept payment for them. The Tobacco Products will, therefore, be removed from the Order before it is handed over to the Customer, and the total purchase price will be reduced by the price of the Tobacco Products.

Age verification for repeated Orders containing Tobacco Products: When handing over any subsequent Orders containing Tobacco Products (if the Customer is receiving the purchase), the stored data is re-verified. The Customer presents their identification (passport, ID card) to the delivery person, who again verifies the Customer’s identity and age by entering the date of birth (day, month, and year).
If the date of birth entered during a repeat Order does not match the stored data, the delivery person will re-verify the Customer’s identity and age as if it were their first Order. The delivery person will follow the same procedure if someone other than the Customer receives the Order (during repeat deliveries to the same person, the delivery person follows the process for age verification for repeat purchases).

11.11 PAYMENT OF WEIGHTED GOODS BY PAYMENT CARD

If you add Goods sold by weight to an Order via the Platform, we and/or the Vendor do not know their exact weight. The price of the Weighted Goods is always quoted on the Platform in whole units of measure (i.e. 100g, 1kg, etc.). The final price of the Weighted Goods will be determined by the actual weight of the Goods we and/or the Vendor weigh when preparing the Order. We and/or the Vendor will use all reasonable efforts reasonably required by us to place Goods in your Order at the weight you have requested. As it is not always possible to deliver weighted Goods at the required weight, a temporary blocking deposit of 5% of the price of your chosen weighted Goods will be temporarily charged (pre-authorized) to cover any increase in price due to a variation in weight. This will result in a temporary hold being placed on your payment card in the amount of the purchase price for all Goods including 5% of the purchase price of all eighted Goods. The Platform's user interface will inform you transparently of the amount of this blocking deposit for your security. If the Weighted Goods selected by you weigh less than you requested as part of the Order, the difference in price will be unblocked and released to your payment card. If the weighted Goods in the Order weigh more than you requested, we will use the blocking deposit to pay the difference. Any unused blocking deposit will be unblocked and released to your payment card. 

11.12 PAYMENT OF WEIGHTED GOODS IN CASH

If you add Goods sold by weight to an Order via the Platform, we and/or the Vendor do not know their exact weight. The price of weighted Goods on the Platform is always quoted in whole units of measure (i.e. 100g, 1kg, etc.). The final price of the weighted Goods will be determined by the actual weight of the Goods we and/or the Vendor weigh when preparing the Order. We and/or the Vendor will use all reasonable efforts reasonably required by us to place Goods in your Order at the weight you have requested. The price for the weighted Goods will be advised to you by the delivery person at the place of delivery if payment is made in cash. Therefore, it is possible that the price of the weighted Goods will differ slightly from the price we display to you on the Platform. For this purpose, we will add 5% of the price of the weighted Goods to inform you of the maximum price you can expect for the weighted Goods. However, you will pay the actual price to the delivery person at the place of delivery according to the weight of the weighted Goods. You will not lose an extra penny.

 

12. TIPS

 

Tips are intended for the person delivering the Goods and are not deemed a payment for the Goods. Foodora only collects the tips on behalf of the delivery person. The relevant function of the Platform called “Tips” is only available for the delivery of Goods by foodora and not by the Vendor. Tips given to delivery persons are not a part of foodora´s income.
