1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using EatNoww's platform, applications, websites, or other services (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you should not use our Services.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and EatNoww regarding your use of the Services. Please read them carefully.

Our Services are not available to persons under the age of 18. By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.

2. Our Services

EatNoww provides an online platform that connects customers with local restaurants and delivery partners. Our Services include:

  • A marketplace for customers to discover and order food from local restaurants
  • A platform for restaurants to list their menus and receive orders
  • A network for delivery partners to fulfill delivery services
  • Processing payments between these parties

EatNoww is not a restaurant and does not prepare food. We are a technology platform that facilitates connections between customers, restaurants, and delivery partners.

We strive to provide accurate information about restaurants, menus, prices, and delivery estimates. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of this information.

3. User Accounts

Account Creation

To use most features of our Services, you must register for an 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.

Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to immediately notify EatNoww of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.

One Account Per User

You may create and maintain only one account for your personal use. Creating multiple accounts or providing false information may result in account termination.

4. Customer Terms

Ordering

When you place an order through our Services, you are offering to purchase items from the restaurant at the prices listed on our platform. Once a restaurant accepts your order, a contract for the sale of those items is formed between you and the restaurant.

Delivery

If you select delivery, your order will be delivered by one of our delivery partners. Delivery times are estimates and may vary based on factors outside our control, such as traffic, weather, and restaurant preparation times.

Cancellations

You may cancel an order at no cost if the restaurant has not yet started preparing your food. Once the restaurant begins preparation, cancellation may not be possible, or a cancellation fee may apply.

Refunds

If you are not satisfied with your order, please contact our customer support. We will assess each situation on a case-by-case basis and may offer a refund, credit, or other resolution at our discretion.

5. Restaurant Partner Terms

Listing

Restaurants agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information about their business, menu items, prices, and operating hours. EatNoww reserves the right to modify or remove inaccurate listings.

Commission and Fees

  • Possessing a valid driver's license (if delivering by vehicle)
  • Having appropriate vehicle insurance (if delivering by vehicle)

  • Complying with all applicable laws and regulations

Delivery Standards

7. Payment Terms

Customer Payments

When you place an order as a customer, you agree to pay the full amount for the items ordered, applicable taxes, delivery fees, and any other charges clearly displayed during the checkout process. Payments are processed through our secure payment providers.

Delivery Partner Earnings

Delivery partners will receive payment for completed deliveries according to the payment structure and schedule specified in the Delivery Partner Agreement.
