3. Applicability
-
The present General Terms and Conditions for Customers are only applicable to the Service.
-
By placing an Order the Customer directly concludes an Agreement with the Business for delivery of the Offer selected by the Customer.
-
Except where Takeaway.com is specifically listed as the seller in the Business Information on the Platform (including for Lieferando Express), Takeaway.com is not responsible for the Offer. As the case may be, the general terms and conditions of the Business shall be applicable to the Offer in addition.
4. The Offer
-
Takeaway.com publishes the Offer on behalf of the relevant Business, in accordance with the Business information supplied by the Business. Takeaway.com does not verify the accuracy or completeness of the Business information and is not responsible for the performance of the Agreement.
-
The Business may use ingredients and additives of meals and drinks, that could cause allergies and intolerances. If a Customer is allergic to any foodstuffs, we advise to contact the Business by telephone for current allergen information before placing an Order.
5. The Agreement
-
The Agreement is effective as from the moment the Customer finalizes the Order by clicking the 'Buy now' button at the end of the the process of placing an Order through the Platform.
-
After receipt of the Order, Takeaway.com will electronically confirm the Order to the Customer.
-
Where the Customer has not logged in or created an account previously, the Customer may have the option to continue with their Order as a guest. By completing the Order as a guest, the Customer agrees that Lieferando will create a temporary Lieferando guest account which will, unless otherwise stated in these General Terms and Conditions, be accessible only (a) from the device which the Customer uses to place the Order; and (b) for a period of up to twelve months following the date of the Order. The Customer’s access to their temporary guest account will expire on the ‘’Expiry Date’’ which shall be the earlier of (i) the date falling six months after the date on which the Customer last accessed the temporary guest account; (ii) the date falling twelve months after the date on which the temporary guest account was created; or (iii) the date on which the Customer logs out of their temporary guest account, or clears the cache on the device which the Customer used when the temporary guest account was created.
-
The Agreement can only be executed by the Business if the Customer provides correct and complete contact and address information when placing the Order. The Customer is obliged to immediately report any inaccuracies in the (payment) data supplied or mentioned to Takeaway.com or the Business.
-
The Customer is required to be available by telephone or email (as indicated when placing the Order) for both the Business and Takeaway.com for information on the status of his Order.
-
If the Customer decides to have the Order delivered, the Customer must be present at the delivery address indicated by the Customer in order to receive the Order items. If the Customer is not present at the delivery address when the Order is delivered, and the Order is being delivered by Takeaway.com (rather than the Business itself) Takeaway.com will make reasonable efforts to contact the Customer in order to determine where to leave the Order. If Takeaway.com is unable to contact the Customer, Takeaway.com may leave the Order at a reasonable location outside, close to the delivery address. Takeaway.com will not be responsible for the Order (including the quality or safety of the contents of the Order when the Customer finds it) after delivering the Order. Please note that when the Business is delivering the Order itself, rather than using Takeaway.com's delivery services, the Business will decide whether to leave the Order outside the delivery address if the Customer is not present.
-
If the Business that you place your Order with receives delivery services provided by Takeaway.com, Takeaway.com may charge the Customer a delivery fee and/or a service chargecosts. The delivery fee and service charge applying to the Order may vary depending on a number of factors, including location, the Business selected, and the value of the items in the Order, but these costs will always be shown on the Platform before a customer places an Order. A receipt for these delivery fees and service charge can be requested with Takeaway.com.
-
If the Customer decides to collect the Order, he should be present at the selected time at the collection location of the Business, as indicated in the confirmation email, text message or on the Platform.
-
Upon ordering as well as when delivering or collecting Orders containing Age Restricted Items, Takeaway.com and the Business can, pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, ask the Customer for identification. If the Customer cannot identify himself adequately or does not meet the minimum age requirements, the Age Restricted Items of the Order will not be delivered, and Takeaway.com and the Business are also free to refuse the Order in its entirety. If the Age Restricted Items are not delivered pursuant to this section, the Customer may be charged a cancellation fee, which cancellation fee will consist of at least the value of the Age Restricted Items from the respective Order.
-
Takeaway.com does not accept any liability relating to the execution of the Agreement.
-
After placing the Order, the Customer can upon his sole discretion choose to tip a courier via the available online payment methods.
-
The Tip is intended for the couriers and cannot be considered as payment for services of Takeaway.com. Takeaway.com will thereby only act as a trustee and transferor of the tip amounts.
-
Takeaway.com will transfer the Tip to the couriers in case those are directly engaged via Takeaway.com. In case a courier is not engaged via Takeaway.com but directly by the Business, Takeaway.com transfers the Tip to the Business and obliges the Business to pay-out the Tip to the courier. Takeaway.com cannot guarantee or be held responsible for the transfer of the Tip from the Business to the courier.
-
After the Customer has received a confirmation of placing the Tip, the Tip cannot be refunded or returned.
6. Dissolution of the Agreement and cancellation of the Order
-
Without prejudice to the Customer’s rights in section 7(2) (which shall continue to apply), Customer’s entitlement to dissolve the Agreement will depend on the Offer. In particular, where the goods contained in the Offer are perishable or otherwise meet any of section 7(1), the Customer shall not be entitled to dissolve the Agreement. Orders cannot be cancelled by the Customer with Takeaway.com. Cancellation of the Order with the Business is only possible by the Customer if the Business explicitly indicates that Cancellation of the Order by the Customer is possible.
-
The Business is entitled to cancel the Order, e.g., if the Offer is no longer available, if the Customer has provided an incorrect or inoperative telephone number or other contact information, or in case of force majeure.
-
If the Customer places a false Order (for example by providing incorrect contact information, by not paying or by not being present on the delivery or collection location in order to receive the Order) or otherwise fails to comply with his obligations pursuant to the Agreement, Takeaway.com shall be entitled to refuse any future Orders from such Customer.
-
Takeaway.com is entitled to refuse Orders and cancel Agreements on behalf of the Business, if there is reasonable doubt about the correctness or authenticity of the Order or contact information. If the Customer places Orders that appear as false or fraudulent, Takeaway.com may report this to the police.
7. Withdrawal
-
The Customer cannot revoke an Order with the Business, as far as the delivery of goods is concerned:
