Terms of Service
Background
A
This Agreement governs the
relationship between the parties in connection with the Services supplied by
GrubUp.
B
GrubUp is in the business of
running an online marketplace which permits Customers to view and search menus
of Partners and/or place orders for food or other products from Partners which
Partners receive through the Partner Platform. GrubUp software then notifies
Captains that a delivery opportunity is available; after a rider communicates
its acceptance of the delivery, the GrubUp software facilitates the Captain's
completion of the delivery of the Partner Products to the Customer. GrubUp is
not a merchant, food preparation business, reseller, or delivery service; it is
an online marketing and connection platform.
C
Subsequently GrubUp software
facilitates the Captain’s completion of the delivery of the Partner products to
the Customer.
D
The Partner agrees to procure
the Services supplied by GrubUp on the terms set out in this Agreement.
