Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: April 2020

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

1. Who We Are

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the access or use by you, an individual, from within any country in the world of our applications and websites (the “Site and Application”) made available by FoodByUs Pty Ltd, (“FoodByUs”).

2. What We Do

FoodByUs provides an online platform that connects Suppliers who have produce, products and food (“food”) and packaging/cleaning supplies available for purchase to Buyers (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are accessible at http://www.foodbyus.com/ and any other websites through which FoodByUs makes the Services available (collectively, the “Site”) and as applications for mobile devices (the “Application”).

Suppliers list the food available for supply on the Site or Application and the price for that food (“Product Availability Lists”).

FoodByUs may act as the limited payment collection agent of each Supplier for the purpose of accepting payments from Buyers on behalf of the Supplier.

By registering as a purchaser or supplier you become a member of FoodByUs (“Member”).

FoodByUs cannot and does not control the content contained in any of the Suppliers’ Product Availability Lists nor the condition, legality or suitability of any kitchen, processing facility, storage depot or food. FoodByUs is not responsible for and disclaims any and all liability related to any and all food sold. Any food sold or purchased will be made or accepted at the member’s own risk.

You understand and agree that FoodByUs is not a party to any agreements entered into between Suppliers and Buyers, nor is FoodByUs an agent, restaurant, café, caterer or any other provider of food or food-related services. FoodByUs has no control over the quality or quantity of food supplied, the conduct of Suppliers, Buyers and other users of the Site and Application, and disclaims all liability in this regard to the maximum extent permitted by law.

3. Compliance With Local Laws

Suppliers should understand how the laws work in their respective jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions have laws that restrict their ability to sell certain types of food to Buyers. These laws are often part of a state’s food authority laws or regulations. In some states, Suppliers must register, get a permit, or obtain a license before making food or accepting orders from Buyers. Certain types of food may be prohibited altogether. State and local governments vary greatly in how they enforce these laws. Penalties may include fines. Suppliers must review and comply with all local laws before listing on FoodByUs.

4. Supplier’s Responsibilities

As a Supplier, you are responsible for all aspects of food preparation, health and safety compliance, certifications, compliance with laws, customer service and service delivery. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Supplier, you are responsible for your own representations, acts and omissions and are also responsible for the representations, acts and omissions of any individuals who may assist in the preparation and delivery of food and creation of Product Availability Lists’ or who may assist in any other way that arises out of or relates to the use of this Site and Application or the supply of food.

Both Buyers and Suppliers agree to cooperate with and assist FoodByUs in good faith, and to provide FoodByUs with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by FoodByUs, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to the provision of the Supplier’s services or food.

5. Terms Of Service

Your access and use of the Site and Application constitutes your agreement to be bound by these Terms, which establishes a contractual relationship between you and FoodByUs. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site and Application. These Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you. FoodByUs may immediately terminate these Terms or any Services with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Site and Application or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

Supplemental terms may apply to certain services, such as policies for a particular event, activity or promotion, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable services. Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Terms for the purposes of the applicable services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable services.

FoodByUs may amend the Terms related to the Services from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon FoodByUs’ posting of such updated Terms at this location or the amended policies or supplemental terms on the applicable Site or Application. Your continued access or use of the Services after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended.

Failure to use the Site and Application in accordance with these Terms may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

6. Price

Prices shown on the Site or Application are in Australian dollars and are subject to change. Prices will not include delivery which will be notified as a separate amount. Unless otherwise stated, any accessories shown in any image of products are not included in the price. We reserve the right to correct any errors published on the Site or Application.

Some food will be priced on the basis of weight. Upon an order being placed, a price by weight will be payable by the Buyer and the Supplier shall endeavour to match the required weight as precisely as practical.

Where the weight of food supplied varies from the initially purchased weight, the Supplier shall immediately notify the Buyer and FoodByUs and an adjustment shall be made to the amount due. The adjustment amount is payable immediately by the Buyer, or refundable by the Supplier, as the case may be. If the Supplier does not tell FoodByUs the difference in the actual weight supplied within 24 hours of supply, FoodByUs is under no obligation to make any adjustment to the amount payable.

7. Delivery

The order will be prepared by the Supplier and delivered either through that Supplier directly or through a delivery agent. Delivery agents may be elected by FoodByUs or the Supplier. Delivery agents are not employees of FoodByUs, rather they are independent contractors.

The Buyer (or a nominated agent) will be required to be available in person to accept delivery of the order, or during the delivery time window nominated by the Buyer. If a person cannot be present the Buyer must inform the Supplier and FoodByUs of alternate delivery arrangements within 24 hours of delivery. Such instructions may include arrangements to “leave in front of store”, or “key will be available from (site or person)”, or such other arrangement acceptable to the parties.

Goods will be delivered or deemed to be delivered when they are collected by the Buyer (or a nominated agent), or delivered to the nominated delivery address in accordance with the Buyer’s delivery instructions (as accepted by the Supplier). The Buyer will be responsible for any delivery made in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions. FoodByUs accept no liability or responsibility once the delivery has been made.

If the Buyer, or someone on the Buyer’s behalf, is not available to accept the delivery in person, the Buyer is responsible for nominating a safe place for delivery of the products. If the Buyer does not provide a specific place for delivery, the products will be left outside your front door or front gate.

Where required, the Buyer is responsible for providing FoodByUs, the Supplier or the delivery agent with site access or a key to enable access to the premises for delivery purposes. The Buyer also agrees to give permission for FoodByUs, the Supplier or the delivery agent to access the premises for delivery purposes. The Buyer agrees that in some cases a ‘safety lock box’ will be stored onsite containing a key to access the site. These lock boxes and their unique entry combinations are the property of FoodByUs and are for FoodByUs’ exclusive use. The Buyer agrees not to use the lock box system with (or provide the combination to) any non-FoodByUs approved Supplier.

The Supplier agrees to use its best endeavours to deliver the order within any stated timeframes for dispatch. FoodByUs does not warrant that these timeframes will always be met, as many factors may affect these timeframes. You understand that we may need to change your delivery date and window from time to time but we or the Supplier will notify the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible.

FoodByUs is not responsible for any failure or delay in the delivery of goods.

8. Privacy

The content that you share with other users is neither private nor confidential and you should not have any expectation of privacy with respect to it. Information you upload will be posted along with other personal information. You must exercise caution and common sense when submitting and disclosing information. At the very least you should demonstrate the same degree of caution when publishing personal information by means other than the Internet and cellular services.

Our collection and use of your personal information in connection with the Services is as provided in FoodByUs’ Privacy Policy located at http://www.foodbyus.com/legal/privacy

By creating a FoodByUs Account, you agree that the Services may send you informational text (SMS) messages as part of the normal business operation of your use of the Services. You may opt-out of receiving text (SMS) messages at any time. You acknowledge that opting out of receiving text (SMS) messages may impact your use of the Services.

9. Modification

FoodByUs reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify the Site and Application or to modify these Terms at any time. If we modify these Terms, we will either post the modification on the Site or via the Application or otherwise provide you with notice of the modification. We will also update the “Last Updated Date” at the top of these Terms.

By continuing to access or use the Site and Application or utilising the Services after we have posted a modification on the Site or via the Application or have provided you with notice of a modification, you are indicating that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, you must cease using the Site and Application.

10. Eligibility

The Site and Application are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the Site, Application or Services by anyone under 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Site, Application or Services you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.

11. Account Registration

In order to access certain features of the Site and Application, and to order or sell food, you must register to create an account (“FoodByUs Account”) and become a Member. You may register to join as a Member directly via the Site or Application.

You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites (“SNS”) (including, but not limited to, Facebook; each such account, a “Third-Party Account”), via our Site or Application, as described below. As part of the functionality of the Site and Application, you may link your FoodByUs Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either:

(i) providing your Third-Party Account login information to FoodByUs through the Site, Services or Application; or

(ii) allowing FoodByUs to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account.

You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to FoodByUs and/or grant FoodByUs access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating FoodByUs to pay any fees or making FoodByUs subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers.f

By granting FoodByUs access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that FoodByUs will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through the Site and Application via your FoodByUs Account and FoodByUs Account profile page.

All SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms.

You have the ability to disable the connection between your FoodByUs Account and your Third-Party Accounts, at any time, by accessing the “Settings” section of the Site and Application.

Your relationship with the third-party service providers associated with your third-party accounts is governed solely by your agreement(s) with such third-party service providers.

FoodByUs is not responsible for any SNS Content.

12. Account information

Your FoodByUs Account and your FoodByUs Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site and Application based upon the personal and business information you provide to us or that we obtain via an SNS as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active FoodByUs Account. You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete. FoodByUs reserves the right to suspend or terminate your FoodByUs Account and your access to the Site and Application if you create more than one (1) FoodByUs Account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current or incomplete.

13. Passwords

You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your FoodByUs Account, whether or not you have authorised such activities or actions. You will immediately notify FoodByUs of any unauthorised use of your FoodByUs Account.

14. Product Availability List and posting to the Site and Application

As a Supplier, you may create a Product Availability List. To create a Product Availability List, you may be asked a variety of questions about the food, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, cleanliness, ingredients, cooking methods, packaging, food allergens, features, and lead time for supply of the food in your proposed Product Availability Lists and pricing. In order to be featured in Product Availability List via the Site and Application, all Suppliers must provide a valid physical address of the premises in which the food will be made. Product Availability Lists will be made publicly available via the Site and Application. Other Members will be able to order from your Product Availability Lists via the Site and Application based upon the information provided in your Product Availability Lists. You understand and agree that once a Buyer requests an order from your Product Availability Lists, you may not request the Buyer to pay a higher price than in the purchase request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Product Availability List and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Product Availability Lists you post will (i) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as food safety laws and zoning laws), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Product Availability Lists you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (ii) not conflict with the rights of third parties (for example the Intellectual Property rights of third parties).

FoodByUs assumes no responsibility for a Supplier’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. FoodByUs reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Product Availability Lists for any reason, including Product Availability List that FoodByUs, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or FoodByUs’ then-current Policies and community guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site or Application or provision of the Services.

If you are a Supplier, you understand and agree that FoodByUs does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Buyer requests an order from your Product Availability Lists and purchases your food, any agreement or transaction you enter into with such Buyer is between you and the Buyer and FoodByUs is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FoodByUs serves as the limited authorised payment collection agent of the Supplier for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Supplier, payments from Buyers of such amounts stipulated by the Supplier (including delivery or other fees and/or Taxes).

If you are a Supplier, you acknowledge and agree that, as a Supplier, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions, and your own decisions about acceptance, or otherwise, of Buyer orders.

15. Standing Orders

If Buyer and Supplier agree to a fixed term standing order, the order will be automatically placed by FoodByUs on behalf of the Buyer at the current-determined price for the quantity entered into the standing order. The Supplier agrees to be bound by the price at the time of receiving the standing order. From time to time standing order prices will be subject to change in line with the Supplier’s usual price changes on their FoodByUs store. FoodByUs will endeavour to alert Buyers to price changes for standing orders as soon as possible.

Buyers must accept delivery of all orders issued under a standing order, and will do so until the order expires, or is cancelled. Cancellation can only occur prior to the Cut Off Time as referred to on the website in relation to that particular supply.

16. Vouchers

The term ‘voucher’ as used in these terms and conditions refers to vouchers offered from general promotions, referrals etc. provided directly from FoodByUs.

Vouchers can be used as full or part payment of a bill at FoodByUs. Purchases made with vouchers are not refundable in cash. Vouchers can only be used for a single transaction; any amount remaining on a voucher after redemption is not exchangeable for cash or another voucher and will be automatically forfeited. Vouchers cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Vouchers are not transferable, exchangeable for cash or replaceable if lost, destroyed or stolen.

Vouchers must be used for their intended purpose. FoodByUs has the right to revoke vouchers from any users who commit coupon fraud. Coupon fraud is when an individual intentionally takes advantage of a coupon offer by using a coupon they are not eligible for, redeeming the coupon multiple times, or using coupons in other ways for monetary gain.

17. Insurance

FoodByUs recommends that Suppliers obtain appropriate insurance for selling food from their Product Availability Lists. Please review any insurance policy that you may have carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Buyers.

18. No Endorsement

FoodByUs does not endorse any Member or any Product Availability Lists. No reference or description on the Site or Application is an endorsement, certification or guarantee by FoodByUs about any food or service available, including the identity of the Member and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. We recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to order food from a Product Availability Lists or to have any other interaction with any other Member.

Buyers and Suppliers may be asked to rate Members. Members must be honest and accurate in their appraisals. No Member rating is an endorsement, certification or guarantee by FoodByUs about any Member.

FoodByUs may also upload icons and display those icons on Product Availability List or Member profiles. The icons indicate that Members have performed services in accordance with criteria predetermined by FoodByUs. The notation is merely an indication that the prescribed criteria has been met and is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by FoodByUs about any Member.

19. Claims against other members

By using the Site or Application you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Member/s or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy on FoodByUs with respect to such acts or omissions. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Supplier against FoodByUs regarding the remittance of payments received from a Buyer by FoodByUs on behalf of a Supplier, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.

20. Payments to FoodByUs (Charges)

In consideration for the use of the Site and Application and utilisation of the Services, FoodByUs charges fees to Suppliers and Buyers (“Charges”). Following registration the Charges will be agreed between FoodByUs and the Suppliers by email. A payment processing fee may apply for Buyers and this will be displayed at checkout and invoices. Where applicable, Taxes, including GST, shall be charged in respect of the Charges.

FoodByUs shall deduct Charges due by the Suppliers from the payments of services received from the Buyer. Balances will be remitted by FoodByUs to Suppliers via cheque, PayPal, direct deposit or other payment methods as agreed.

As between you and FoodByUs, FoodByUs reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in FoodByUs’ sole discretion. We will notify you of all changes. If you are not satisfied with the change you are not obligated to continue supplying or ordering goods using the Site or Application.

FoodByUs may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. FoodbyUs may cease providing services and remove or suspend your right to access the Site and Website if you do not comply with payment terms.

21. Payments to FoodByUs (Subscription)

By signing up to FoodByUs via a sign up form, clicking “I Agree”, or using a FoodByUs Product, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these terms and conditions.

Subscription Term

A Subscription Term can be a:

  • 1 month term, auto-renewing month to month or
  • 12 month term, paid either monthly or annually, auto-renewing year to year

Auto-renewals

The Agreement will renew for a further 1 or 12 month period depending on the agreed Subscription Term, unless the Customer has provided FoodByUs with written notice before the end of the renewal period, that it wishes to opt out of the Agreement. 

Fees and Payment

The Customer must pay the Fees for the duration of the Subscription Term using a credit card or direct debit, unless otherwise agreed before commencement of the Agreement. 

Invoicing and Payment

FoodByUs will invoice the Customer monthly or annually (in advance and/or in arrears) for Fees due under the Agreement. The Customer must pay for the invoiced Fees by the due date for the payment specified in the invoice.

Termination

You may terminate the Agreement if you decide not to renew the Subscription Term by providing written notice.

Termination Fee

The Customer acknowledges that discounted pricing may be applied against retail rates based on the length of the Subscription Term. Consequently, termination prior to expiry of the initial Subscription Term will have the remainder of the term as the termination fee following termination of the agreement.

Actions on Termination

On termination of an Agreement, all unpaid Fees owing to FoodByUs will become immediately due and payable. 

22. Payment to Supplier (Service Fees)

If you order through the Site or Application you are required to pay the agreed fees for the goods and services provided by the Supplier (“Service Fees”). After you have ordered services or goods obtained through your use of the Site or Application FoodByUs will facilitate your payment of the Service Fees on behalf of the Supplier as the Supplier’s limited payment collection agent. Service Fees will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Service Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by FoodByUs.

All Service Fees will be processed by FoodByUs using the preferred payment method designated in your FoodByUs Account, after which FoodByUs will send you a receipt by email. If your primary FoodByUs Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that FoodByUs may, as the Supplier’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your FoodByUs Account, if available.

23. Payments to Suppliers, Cancellations and Refunds

FoodByUs forwards Suppliers their Service Fees on a weekly basis unless the Supplier offers its own payments terms. Service Fee transfers from FoodByUs are made on completed orders only – this means the Supplier must have made the food and the Buyer must have received the food (via pick-up or delivery).

If the Supplier offers payment terms, it must nominate this option on the Site or Application. Once FoodByUs receives the full payment from the Buyer, the Supplier will be paid on the next payment date following receipt of the total amount due. If FoodByUs does not receive payment from the Buyer then the Supplier agrees they will not be paid until FoodByUs is able to obtain payment from the Buyer.

Refunds to Buyers will be at the discretion of FoodByUs who is responsible in its capacity as the Supplier’s limited payment collection agent for all refunds to cardholders. In the event FoodByUs determines at its sole discretion that a refund is necessary, FoodByUs reserves the right to deduct funds from the Service Fees due to Suppliers on the next transfer date. Please contact hello@foodbyus.com for any queries.

All credit card details are protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Credit card details are handled by leading PCI compliant providers of secure credit card processing solutions. FoodByUs does not save your credit card or bank account details. Rather, FoodByUs keeps a non-sensitive reference to your credit card or bank account details (called a token) which is then linked to your FoodByUs Account. This token is provided to us by the payment provider, and allows FoodByUs to provide an option for you to use the same credit card or bank account for future transactions with us without FoodByUs holding any sensitive information. If, at any time, you wish the token to be removed please email hello@foodbyus.com and we will have your token(s) removed.

We may need pre-authorisation on your bank account or credit card and you agree that we or our payment provider may query the account for pre-authorisation purposes. If pre-authorisation is not successful we may refuse to process your current or future orders.

If FoodByUs uses the services of any third party payment provider to administer the payment arrangements under these terms then you will comply with all terms and conditions imposed on the transaction by that third party.

Where paying via Direct Debit, our Direct Debit Request Service Agreement is as follows:

  • INITIAL TERMS: FoodByUs’ (via its selected payment provider) will direct debit your nominated account for the amount(s) as agreed between you and FoodByUs as authorised and accepted by you upon checkout. The direct debit will occur immediately upon checkout or at a later date, as agreed between you and FoodByUs. FoodByUs has the permission to view your nominated account’s available balance to both ensure you have sufficient funds for current orders as well as to assist FoodByUs to determine your ability to pay for any orders that may be due in the future.
  • TRANSACTION HISTORY FOR CREDIT ASSESSMENT PURPOSES: FoodByUs (via its selected payment provider) may have the ability to view some or all of the transaction history of your nominated bank account. When linking your bank account to the FoodByUs website (via its selected payment provider) you give permission for FoodByUs to use some or all of your transaction history information for the purpose of assessing your eligibility for delayed payment terms with FoodByUs.
  • CHANGE OF TERMS: Terms may be changed immediately with your approval or within the parameters of the Digital Agreement issued by FoodByUs and approved by you.
  • DEFERRING OR STOPPING A PAYMENT: Should you wish to defer an agreed payment to another date you must contact FoodByUs before the due date of that payment to request the deferment. Deferments are entirely at the discretion of FoodByUs.
  • CANCELLING THE PAYMENTS: You can cancel this Direct Debit Request Authority at any time by contacting FoodByUs. Cancellation of the authority to debit your account will not terminate your contract or remove your liability to make the payments you have agreed to with FoodByUs.
  • DISPUTES: If you have a dispute regarding any Direct Debit payment, you must contact FoodByUs immediately.
  • BUSINESS DAYS: When the day to debit falls on a weekend or public holiday the Direct Debit will be initiated on the next working day.
  • DISHONOURED PAYMENTS: It is your responsibility to ensure that on the due date cleared funds are available in your nominated account to meet the Direct Debit payment. Should your payment be dishonoured, you authorise FoodByUs to debit your account when clear funds become available in your nominated bank account.
  • YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES: In addition to those already mentioned, you are responsible for ensuring that your nominated account is able to accept direct debits. If it is not, it is your responsibility to provide FoodByUs with a new account number which can accept direct debits.

24. Donations

Some Suppliers may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed orders made via the Site and Application to a particular cause or charity. FoodByUs does not take any responsibility or liability for whether the Supplier does in fact make the donation he or she pledged to make. In such cases, the Supplier in question is responsible for his or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such pledges and/or fund-raising.

25. Member Content

By making available any Member Content on or through the Site and Application, you hereby grant to FoodByUs a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual (or for the term of the protection), non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, view, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, view, and otherwise exploit such Member Content on, through, by means of or to promote or market the Site and Application.

Terms & Conditions

Last Updated: April 2020

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

1. Who We Are

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the access or use by you, an individual, from within any country in the world of our applications and websites (the “Site and Application”) made available by FoodByUs Pty Ltd, (“FoodByUs”).

2. What We Do

FoodByUs provides an online platform that connects Suppliers who have produce, products and food (“food”) and packaging/cleaning supplies available for purchase to Buyers (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are accessible at http://www.foodbyus.com/ and any other websites through which FoodByUs makes the Services available (collectively, the “Site”) and as applications for mobile devices (the “Application”).

Suppliers list the food available for supply on the Site or Application and the price for that food (“Product Availability Lists”).

FoodByUs may act as the limited payment collection agent of each Supplier for the purpose of accepting payments from Buyers on behalf of the Supplier.

By registering as a purchaser or supplier you become a member of FoodByUs (“Member”).

FoodByUs cannot and does not control the content contained in any of the Suppliers’ Product Availability Lists nor the condition, legality or suitability of any kitchen, processing facility, storage depot or food. FoodByUs is not responsible for and disclaims any and all liability related to any and all food sold. Any food sold or purchased will be made or accepted at the member’s own risk.

You understand and agree that FoodByUs is not a party to any agreements entered into between Suppliers and Buyers, nor is FoodByUs an agent, restaurant, café, caterer or any other provider of food or food-related services. FoodByUs has no control over the quality or quantity of food supplied, the conduct of Suppliers, Buyers and other users of the Site and Application, and disclaims all liability in this regard to the maximum extent permitted by law.

3. Compliance With Local Laws

Suppliers should understand how the laws work in their respective jurisdictions. Some jurisdictions have laws that restrict their ability to sell certain types of food to Buyers. These laws are often part of a state’s food authority laws or regulations. In some states, Suppliers must register, get a permit, or obtain a license before making food or accepting orders from Buyers. Certain types of food may be prohibited altogether. State and local governments vary greatly in how they enforce these laws. Penalties may include fines. Suppliers must review and comply with all local laws before listing on FoodByUs.

4. Supplier’s Responsibilities

As a Supplier, you are responsible for all aspects of food preparation, health and safety compliance, certifications, compliance with laws, customer service and service delivery. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Supplier, you are responsible for your own representations, acts and omissions and are also responsible for the representations, acts and omissions of any individuals who may assist in the preparation and delivery of food and creation of Product Availability Lists’ or who may assist in any other way that arises out of or relates to the use of this Site and Application or the supply of food.

Both Buyers and Suppliers agree to cooperate with and assist FoodByUs in good faith, and to provide FoodByUs with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by FoodByUs, in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to the provision of the Supplier’s services or food.

5. Terms Of Service

Your access and use of the Site and Application constitutes your agreement to be bound by these Terms, which establishes a contractual relationship between you and FoodByUs. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Site and Application. These Terms expressly supersede prior agreements or arrangements with you. FoodByUs may immediately terminate these Terms or any Services with respect to you, or generally cease offering or deny access to the Site and Application or any portion thereof, at any time for any reason.

Supplemental terms may apply to certain services, such as policies for a particular event, activity or promotion, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable services. Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Terms for the purposes of the applicable services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable services.

FoodByUs may amend the Terms related to the Services from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon FoodByUs’ posting of such updated Terms at this location or the amended policies or supplemental terms on the applicable Site or Application. Your continued access or use of the Services after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended.

Failure to use the Site and Application in accordance with these Terms may subject you to civil and criminal penalties.

6. Price

Prices shown on the Site or Application are in Australian dollars and are subject to change. Prices will not include delivery which will be notified as a separate amount. Unless otherwise stated, any accessories shown in any image of products are not included in the price. We reserve the right to correct any errors published on the Site or Application.

Some food will be priced on the basis of weight. Upon an order being placed, a price by weight will be payable by the Buyer and the Supplier shall endeavour to match the required weight as precisely as practical.

Where the weight of food supplied varies from the initially purchased weight, the Supplier shall immediately notify the Buyer and FoodByUs and an adjustment shall be made to the amount due. The adjustment amount is payable immediately by the Buyer, or refundable by the Supplier, as the case may be. If the Supplier does not tell FoodByUs the difference in the actual weight supplied within 24 hours of supply, FoodByUs is under no obligation to make any adjustment to the amount payable.

7. Delivery

The order will be prepared by the Supplier and delivered either through that Supplier directly or through a delivery agent. Delivery agents may be elected by FoodByUs or the Supplier. Delivery agents are not employees of FoodByUs, rather they are independent contractors.

The Buyer (or a nominated agent) will be required to be available in person to accept delivery of the order, or during the delivery time window nominated by the Buyer. If a person cannot be present the Buyer must inform the Supplier and FoodByUs of alternate delivery arrangements within 24 hours of delivery. Such instructions may include arrangements to “leave in front of store”, or “key will be available from (site or person)”, or such other arrangement acceptable to the parties.

Goods will be delivered or deemed to be delivered when they are collected by the Buyer (or a nominated agent), or delivered to the nominated delivery address in accordance with the Buyer’s delivery instructions (as accepted by the Supplier). The Buyer will be responsible for any delivery made in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions. FoodByUs accept no liability or responsibility once the delivery has been made.

If the Buyer, or someone on the Buyer’s behalf, is not available to accept the delivery in person, the Buyer is responsible for nominating a safe place for delivery of the products. If the Buyer does not provide a specific place for delivery, the products will be left outside your front door or front gate.

Where required, the Buyer is responsible for providing FoodByUs, the Supplier or the delivery agent with site access or a key to enable access to the premises for delivery purposes. The Buyer also agrees to give permission for FoodByUs, the Supplier or the delivery agent to access the premises for delivery purposes. The Buyer agrees that in some cases a ‘safety lock box’ will be stored onsite containing a key to access the site. These lock boxes and their unique entry combinations are the property of FoodByUs and are for FoodByUs’ exclusive use. The Buyer agrees not to use the lock box system with (or provide the combination to) any non-FoodByUs approved Supplier.

The Supplier agrees to use its best endeavours to deliver the order within any stated timeframes for dispatch. FoodByUs does not warrant that these timeframes will always be met, as many factors may affect these timeframes. You understand that we may need to change your delivery date and window from time to time but we or the Supplier will notify the Buyer as soon as reasonably possible.

FoodByUs is not responsible for any failure or delay in the delivery of goods.

8. Privacy

The content that you share with other users is neither private nor confidential and you should not have any expectation of privacy with respect to it. Information you upload will be posted along with other personal information. You must exercise caution and common sense when submitting and disclosing information. At the very least you should demonstrate the same degree of caution when publishing personal information by means other than the Internet and cellular services.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Product Availability List and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Product Availability Lists you post will (i) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as food safety laws and zoning laws), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Product Availability Lists you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (ii) not conflict with the rights of third parties (for example the Intellectual Property rights of third parties).

FoodByUs assumes no responsibility for a Supplier’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations. FoodByUs reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Product Availability Lists for any reason, including Product Availability List that FoodByUs, in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or FoodByUs’ then-current Policies and community guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site or Application or provision of the Services.

If you are a Supplier, you understand and agree that FoodByUs does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a Buyer requests an order from your Product Availability Lists and purchases your food, any agreement or transaction you enter into with such Buyer is between you and the Buyer and FoodByUs is not a party to it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, FoodByUs serves as the limited authorised payment collection agent of the Supplier for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Supplier, payments from Buyers of such amounts stipulated by the Supplier (including delivery or other fees and/or Taxes).

If you are a Supplier, you acknowledge and agree that, as a Supplier, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions, and your own decisions about acceptance, or otherwise, of Buyer orders.

15. Standing Orders

If Buyer and Supplier agree to a fixed term standing order, the order will be automatically placed by FoodByUs on behalf of the Buyer at the current-determined price for the quantity entered into the standing order. The Supplier agrees to be bound by the price at the time of receiving the standing order. From time to time standing order prices will be subject to change in line with the Supplier’s usual price changes on their FoodByUs store. FoodByUs will endeavour to alert Buyers to price changes for standing orders as soon as possible.

Buyers must accept delivery of all orders issued under a standing order, and will do so until the order expires, or is cancelled. Cancellation can only occur prior to the Cut Off Time as referred to on the website in relation to that particular supply.

16. Vouchers

The term ‘voucher’ as used in these terms and conditions refers to vouchers offered from general promotions, referrals etc. provided directly from FoodByUs.

Vouchers can be used as full or part payment of a bill at FoodByUs. Purchases made with vouchers are not refundable in cash. Vouchers can only be used for a single transaction; any amount remaining on a voucher after redemption is not exchangeable for cash or another voucher and will be automatically forfeited. Vouchers cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

Vouchers are not transferable, exchangeable for cash or replaceable if lost, destroyed or stolen.

Vouchers must be used for their intended purpose. FoodByUs has the right to revoke vouchers from any users who commit coupon fraud. Coupon fraud is when an individual intentionally takes advantage of a coupon offer by using a coupon they are not eligible for, redeeming the coupon multiple times, or using coupons in other ways for monetary gain.

17. Insurance

FoodByUs recommends that Suppliers obtain appropriate insurance for selling food from their Product Availability Lists. Please review any insurance policy that you may have carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Buyers.

18. No Endorsement

FoodByUs does not endorse any Member or any Product Availability Lists. No reference or description on the Site or Application is an endorsement, certification or guarantee by FoodByUs about any food or service available, including the identity of the Member and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. We recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to order food from a Product Availability Lists or to have any other interaction with any other Member.

Buyers and Suppliers may be asked to rate Members. Members must be honest and accurate in their appraisals. No Member rating is an endorsement, certification or guarantee by FoodByUs about any Member.

FoodByUs may also upload icons and display those icons on Product Availability List or Member profiles. The icons indicate that Members have performed services in accordance with criteria predetermined by FoodByUs. The notation is merely an indication that the prescribed criteria has been met and is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by FoodByUs about any Member.

19. Claims against other members

By using the Site or Application you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Member/s or other third parties who caused you harm. You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy on FoodByUs with respect to such acts or omissions. This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Supplier against FoodByUs regarding the remittance of payments received from a Buyer by FoodByUs on behalf of a Supplier, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled “Limitation of Liability”.

20. Payments to FoodByUs (Charges)

In consideration for the use of the Site and Application and utilisation of the Services, FoodByUs charges fees to Suppliers and Buyers (“Charges”). Following registration the Charges will be agreed between FoodByUs and the Suppliers by email. A payment processing fee may apply for Buyers and this will be displayed at checkout and invoices. Where applicable, Taxes, including GST, shall be charged in respect of the Charges.

FoodByUs shall deduct Charges due by the Suppliers from the payments of services received from the Buyer. Balances will be remitted by FoodByUs to Suppliers via cheque, PayPal, direct deposit or other payment methods as agreed.

As between you and FoodByUs, FoodByUs reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the Services at any time in FoodByUs’ sole discretion. We will notify you of all changes. If you are not satisfied with the change you are not obligated to continue supplying or ordering goods using the Site or Application.

FoodByUs may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you. FoodbyUs may cease providing services and remove or suspend your right to access the Site and Website if you do not comply with payment terms.

21. Payments to FoodByUs (Subscription)

By signing up to FoodByUs via a sign up form, clicking “I Agree”, or using a FoodByUs Product, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to these terms and conditions.

Subscription Term

A Subscription Term can be a:

  • 1 month term, auto-renewing month to month or
  • 12 month term, paid either monthly or annually, auto-renewing year to year

Auto-renewals

The Agreement will renew for a further 1 or 12 month period depending on the agreed Subscription Term, unless the Customer has provided FoodByUs with written notice before the end of the renewal period, that it wishes to opt out of the Agreement. 

Fees and Payment

The Customer must pay the Fees for the duration of the Subscription Term using a credit card or direct debit, unless otherwise agreed before commencement of the Agreement. 

Invoicing and Payment

FoodByUs will invoice the Customer monthly or annually (in advance and/or in arrears) for Fees due under the Agreement. The Customer must pay for the invoiced Fees by the due date for the payment specified in the invoice.

Termination

You may terminate the Agreement if you decide not to renew the Subscription Term by providing written notice.

Termination Fee

The Customer acknowledges that discounted pricing may be applied against retail rates based on the length of the Subscription Term. Consequently, termination prior to expiry of the initial Subscription Term will have the remainder of the term as the termination fee following termination of the agreement.

Actions on Termination

On termination of an Agreement, all unpaid Fees owing to FoodByUs will become immediately due and payable. 

22. Payment to Supplier (Service Fees)

If you order through the Site or Application you are required to pay the agreed fees for the goods and services provided by the Supplier (“Service Fees”). After you have ordered services or goods obtained through your use of the Site or Application FoodByUs will facilitate your payment of the Service Fees on behalf of the Supplier as the Supplier’s limited payment collection agent. Service Fees will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Service Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by FoodByUs.

All Service Fees will be processed by FoodByUs using the preferred payment method designated in your FoodByUs Account, after which FoodByUs will send you a receipt by email. If your primary FoodByUs Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that FoodByUs may, as the Supplier’s limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your FoodByUs Account, if available.

23. Payments to Suppliers, Cancellations and Refunds

FoodByUs forwards Suppliers their Service Fees on a weekly basis unless the Supplier offers its own payments terms. Service Fee transfers from FoodByUs are made on completed orders only – this means the Supplier must have made the food and the Buyer must have received the food (via pick-up or delivery).

If the Supplier offers payment terms, it must nominate this option on the Site or Application. Once FoodByUs receives the full payment from the Buyer, the Supplier will be paid on the next payment date following receipt of the total amount due. If FoodByUs does not receive payment from the Buyer then the Supplier agrees they will not be paid until FoodByUs is able to obtain payment from the Buyer.

Refunds to Buyers will be at the discretion of FoodByUs who is responsible in its capacity as the Supplier’s limited payment collection agent for all refunds to cardholders. In the event FoodByUs determines at its sole discretion that a refund is necessary, FoodByUs reserves the right to deduct funds from the Service Fees due to Suppliers on the next transfer date. Please contact hello@foodbyus.com for any queries.

All credit card details are protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Credit card details are handled by leading PCI compliant providers of secure credit card processing solutions. FoodByUs does not save your credit card or bank account details. Rather, FoodByUs keeps a non-sensitive reference to your credit card or bank account details (called a token) which is then linked to your FoodByUs Account. This token is provided to us by the payment provider, and allows FoodByUs to provide an option for you to use the same credit card or bank account for future transactions with us without FoodByUs holding any sensitive information. If, at any time, you wish the token to be removed please email hello@foodbyus.com and we will have your token(s) removed.

We may need pre-authorisation on your bank account or credit card and you agree that we or our payment provider may query the account for pre-authorisation purposes. If pre-authorisation is not successful we may refuse to process your current or future orders.

If FoodByUs uses the services of any third party payment provider to administer the payment arrangements under these terms then you will comply with all terms and conditions imposed on the transaction by that third party.

Where paying via Direct Debit, our Direct Debit Request Service Agreement is as follows:

  • INITIAL TERMS: FoodByUs’ (via its selected payment provider) will direct debit your nominated account for the amount(s) as agreed between you and FoodByUs as authorised and accepted by you upon checkout. The direct debit will occur immediately upon checkout or at a later date, as agreed between you and FoodByUs. FoodByUs has the permission to view your nominated account’s available balance to both ensure you have sufficient funds for current orders as well as to assist FoodByUs to determine your ability to pay for any orders that may be due in the future.
  • TRANSACTION HISTORY FOR CREDIT ASSESSMENT PURPOSES: FoodByUs (via its selected payment provider) may have the ability to view some or all of the transaction history of your nominated bank account. When linking your bank account to the FoodByUs website (via its selected payment provider) you give permission for FoodByUs to use some or all of your transaction history information for the purpose of assessing your eligibility for delayed payment terms with FoodByUs.
  • CHANGE OF TERMS: Terms may be changed immediately with your approval or within the parameters of the Digital Agreement issued by FoodByUs and approved by you.
  • DEFERRING OR STOPPING A PAYMENT: Should you wish to defer an agreed payment to another date you must contact FoodByUs before the due date of that payment to request the deferment. Deferments are entirely at the discretion of FoodByUs.
  • CANCELLING THE PAYMENTS: You can cancel this Direct Debit Request Authority at any time by contacting FoodByUs. Cancellation of the authority to debit your account will not terminate your contract or remove your liability to make the payments you have agreed to with FoodByUs.
  • DISPUTES: If you have a dispute regarding any Direct Debit payment, you must contact FoodByUs immediately.
  • BUSINESS DAYS: When the day to debit falls on a weekend or public holiday the Direct Debit will be initiated on the next working day.
  • DISHONOURED PAYMENTS: It is your responsibility to ensure that on the due date cleared funds are available in your nominated account to meet the Direct Debit payment. Should your payment be dishonoured, you authorise FoodByUs to debit your account when clear funds become available in your nominated bank account.
  • YOUR OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES: In addition to those already mentioned, you are responsible for ensuring that your nominated account is able to accept direct debits. If it is not, it is your responsibility to provide FoodByUs with a new account number which can accept direct debits.

24. Donations

Some Suppliers may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed orders made via the Site and Application to a particular cause or charity. FoodByUs does not take any responsibility or liability for whether the Supplier does in fact make the donation he or she pledged to make. In such cases, the Supplier in question is responsible for his or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such pledges and/or fund-raising.

25. Member Content

By making available any Member Content on or through the Site and Application, you hereby grant to FoodByUs a worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual (or for the term of the protection), non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, view, copy, adapt, modify, distribute, license, sell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast, access, view, and otherwise exploit such Member Content on, through, by means of or to promote or market the Site and Application.
