If another person uses these methods to access your Account, you will be liable to pay for any Online Orders they submit, and we are not responsible for any losses you suffer as a result, unless the person using your password obtained it because we did not keep it secure.
You may close your Account at any time by requesting to do so in your Account section of the Site and/or Application or by contacting us using the contact details above. We may suspend your access to your Account, or close it permanently, if we believe that your Account has been used by someone else. We may also close your Account if in our opinion you are abusing the service provided by the Site and/or Application (for example, by applying for refunds or credit to which we do not consider you are entitled, making repeated unreasonable complaints, mistreating our staff, or any other good reason).
Each Merchant has a prescribed delivery area. This delivery area may change at any time due to factors such as weather, or demand on our service. This is to ensure that Delivery Orders reach you at their best. The Merchants each decide their own operating hours which means that availability of options and the range of Merchants to which you can submit Delivery Orders, depends on the Merchants in your area. If you try to place a Delivery Order for delivery to a location outside the delivery area or operating hours of a Merchant, or the Application is otherwise unavailable for any reason, we will notify that such Delivery Order will not be possible.
Once you have selected your Online Order from the menu of your chosen Merchant you will be given the opportunity to submit your Online Order by clicking on the "Checkout" button. Please check the information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking on the "Checkout" button since once you click on this, errors cannot be corrected.
Once you submit your Online Order, we will send you an email confirming that your Online Order has been received and accepted by the Merchant (the "Confirmation Email").
The contract for the supply of an Online Order using the Application will be between you and the Merchant and will only be formed when you have been sent the Confirmation Email by us.
If we are unable to accept an Online Order, we will inform you of this and you will not be charged for the Online Order.
All Online Orders are subject to availability.
A Merchant may offer an alternative if any part or ingredient required to fulfil an Online Order is not available. Such alternative may be offered after you have received the Confirmation Email. If you do not wish to accept the alternative then you are entitled to cancel the Online Order and you will be refunded the price of the Online Order.
Our aim is to provide the best delivery service possible. We will do our best to ensure that your Delivery Order is delivered by the time specified in the Confirmation Email and Application. Delivery time that is showing in the Merchant's logo interface means the average time and is not a fixed time for the delivery. For the avoidance of doubt, the expected delivery time is not a fixed time, it is an approximation. We will notify you of any unforeseen delays.
Delivery will be at the address you provide when you place the Delivery Order. Please ensure that you provide an accurate address and telephone number to ensure that your Delivery Orders arrive to the correct location.
If you need to change the delivery location after you have placed the Delivery Order, we may be able to change the delivery address to an alternative one that is registered with your Account if you inform us prior to the delivery driver being dispatched and the replacement address is within the delivery zone for that Merchant. If we cannot change the delivery address, you have the option to cancel the Delivery Order but you will be charged if the Delivery Order is a Started Order.

You must arrive at the Merchant just before the time for collection stated on the Application and/or in the Confirmation Email.
