QuickDelivery provides an online marketplace (“Marketplace”) platform using web-based technology that connects Merchants, independent delivery contractors ("Riders") and customers ("Platform").  QuickDelivery is not a merchant; it is an online connection platform.  Merchant and QuickDelivery agree they are independent businesses whose relationship is governed by the Sign-Up Sheet and these Terms.  Nothing in the Parties' agreements, relationship or transactions shall create or be construed as creating an agency, partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between QuickDelivery and Merchant (or Merchant's employees, representatives or locations), QuickDelivery and Riders, or QuickDelivery and customers.  Except as expressly set forth in the Sign-Up Sheet and these Terms, each Party shall be responsible for its own expenses, profits and losses. 

For Merchants that have agreed to participate in the QuickDelivery Marketplace, QuickDelivery and Merchant shall have the following responsibilities during the Marketplace Term:

QuickDelivery will, in a timely manner:

• Display Merchant’s logo; a listing of the Merchant Stores; and a menu of Merchant Products on the QuickDelivery Platform
• Accept Marketplace Orders from Customers.
• Forward each Marketplace Order to the relevant Merchant Store; and
• Forward each Marketplace Order to a Rider, so that the Rider can pick up the applicable Merchant Product(s) from the Merchant Store to deliver to the Customer.
• Pay the Merchant in accord with the Parties' agreements, deducting applicable Promotion Fees, marketing fees, subscription fees and Activation Fees.

Merchant will, in a timely manner:

• Provide QuickDelivery with the Merchant’s in-store or take-out menu, including the price of each item on such menu;
• Monitor Merchant’s menu and store information on the QuickDelivery Marketplace, promptly make updates via the Merchant portal to reflect to QuickDelivery the most up-to-date products, pricing and other information or immediately notify QuickDelivery of any errors or changes in writing;
• Accept all Marketplace Orders placed by QuickDelivery from Merchant’s then-current menu;
• Confirm all Marketplace Orders from QuickDelivery;
• Prepare the Merchant Products for each Marketplace Order for pickup by a Driver at the designated time;
• Process Marketplace Orders in the order in which they are received;
• Notify QuickDelivery of any changes to the pricing, availability, description, or other characteristics of the Merchant Products;
• Notify QuickDelivery of its days and hours of operation, and remain open for business on QuickDelivery the same days and hours of operation as Merchant’s in-store business; notify QuickDelivery of any changes to Merchant’s hours of operations on holidays; and notify QuickDelivery if Merchant closes earlier than Merchant’s standard hours of operation or plans to close earlier than Merchant’s standard hours of operation;
• Notify all Merchant store staff members of the relationship with QuickDelivery immediately upon execution of this Agreement; and
• Provide the same utensils, napkins, bags and other materials that Merchant would typically provide in a standard take-out or delivery order, subject to Section 15(3)(i).
• On an ongoing basis, review and confirm the transactions, fees and charges on orders via the Merchant Portal, and promptly communicate to QuickDelivery any inaccuracies.

Refunds and re-orders will be addressed as follows:

In the event that QuickDelivery, in its sole reasonable discretion, has to issue a refund, credit or re-order on a Customer’s Order, Merchant will prepare the food to the same specifications as the original Order (in the case of a re-order) and bear the full cost of that refund, credit or re-order, as applicable, unless the refund, credit or re-order is due to the fault of the Driver or QuickDelivery.

Merchant acknowledges and agrees that QuickDelivery shall be responsible only for facilitating the delivery of Merchant Product(s) to Customers. Merchant shall be solely responsible for any customer complaints regarding Merchant Product(s), including without limitation, complaints regarding the nature, quality, content, number, or packaging of Merchant Product(s). Merchant agrees not to refer any Customer complaints directly to QuickDelivery. Any complaints regarding the timeliness or quality of a Dasher’s delivery service shall be reported by Merchant to QuickDelivery. If the completion of a Drive Order is more than 45 minutes late and due to fault of QuickDelivery, QuickDelivery will reimburse Merchant for all or a portion of the delivery cost of the applicable Drive Order. If Merchant elects to refund a Customer for any reason, such election shall not obligate QuickDelivery to provide a corresponding reimbursement to Merchant. In the event that a Merchant Product has been visibly damaged with proof from customer, QuickDelivery may reimburse Merchant for all or a portion of the order subtotal. For the purposes of this agreement, “Merchant Product” is the actual food or beverage item, not the packaging that contains the Merchant Product. In no event shall QuickDelivery be obligated to issue any refunds directly to Customers.

With respect to the QuickDelivery Marketplace, Merchant will install any equipment reasonably required by QuickDelivery for Merchant to receive and process Orders (including, without limitation, a tablet, or other automated, electronic means of receiving Orders) (“Order Equipment”). If any Order Equipment is provided by QuickDelivery, Merchant will pay QuickDelivery an Order Equipment Fee, as set forth in the Sign-Up Sheet, in exchange for the right to use the Order Equipment to access the QuickDelivery Platform in order to receive, process, and accept Marketplace Orders.  Any Order Equipment provided by QuickDelivery will remain QuickDelivery’s sole property and may be used solely for purposes related to fulfilling Merchant’s responsibilities under this Agreement. Merchant will inspect all hardware and shall notify QuickDelivery in writing if any Order Equipment is missing or was damaged as soon as practicable after discovering such damage. QuickDelivery may restrict or rescind Merchant’s right to use the QuickDelivery Platform at any time. Merchant will be responsible for any damage to or loss of any Order Equipment provided by QuickDelivery (excluding ordinary wear and tear), which will be promptly reimbursed by Merchant (at the replacement cost thereof). QuickDelivery may recover the replacement cost of damaged or lost Order Equipment by deducting such amount from weekly payments. Merchant agrees to pay all subscription fees and deposits reasonably charged by QuickDelivery for Order Equipment, and agrees QuickDelivery may deduct such fees and deposits from amounts payable by QuickDelivery to Merchant.

QuickDelivery will pay for Marketplace fulfilled by Merchant each week on a consistent day of the week, subject to change with no less than 10 days’ notice to Merchants by email or service notification. QuickDelivery shall be entitled to deduct from such payments Promotion Fees, marketing fees, Activation Fees and subscription fees. If Merchant has opted for QuickDelivery to provide Order Equipment, QuickDelivery will also deduct a weekly Order Equipment Fee, as set forth on the Sign-Up Sheet, in exchange for the Merchant’s right to use the Order Equipment to access the QuickDelivery Platform in order to receive, process, and accept Orders. Merchant agrees QuickDelivery may charge the customer fees, including but not limited to a Delivery Fee, Service Fee, Surcharge Fee, and Small Order Fee where applicable, as well as an additional markup for Merchant Products, in QuickDelivery 's sole discretion. Merchant shall be responsible for all taxes, duties, and other governmental charges on the sale of Merchant Products and for remitting such taxes, duties, and other governmental charges to the appropriate authorities. In the event that Merchant raises the price for a menu item, QuickDelivery shall not be required to remit the higher price to the Merchant until 3 business days after the Merchant first provides notice to QuickDelivery of such pricing change.

Fees

Merchants who sign up are eligible for 30 days commission free. Once the 30 days are over Merchants will be charged the standard Quick Delivery commission rate of 15% on all orders placed by Quick Delivery customers.

Title

Merchant agrees that Merchant holds title to the goods or products that Merchant provides through the Platform until the goods are picked up from Merchant, and that title passes from the Merchant to the customer upon pickup at the Merchant’s location.  Merchant agrees that neither the Driver nor QuickDelivery holds title to or acquires any ownership interest in any goods or products that Merchant prepares or provides through the Platform.

Payment processing services for Merchants on the QuickDelivery Marketplace is provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Services Agreement. By agreeing to these Terms, Merchant agrees to be bound by the Stripe Connected Account Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of QuickDelivery enabling payment processing services through Stripe, Merchant agrees to provide QuickDelivery accurate and complete information about Merchant’s representative and its business, and Merchant authorizes QuickDelivery to share it and transaction information related to Merchant’s use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe. Stripe has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1.

During the Marketplace Term, as applicable, Merchant grants to QuickDelivery a royalty-free, non-exclusive, limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable right and license to use and display the Merchant Content in the provision of providing services to Merchant. As used herein, “Merchant Content” includes, without limitation, menus, photographs (either provided by Merchant or on Merchant’s website), trademarks, logos and other materials provided by Merchant to QuickDelivery.

If photographs of Merchant’s menu items are not available or if they do not meet QuickDelivery’s requirements, as reasonably determined by QuickDelivery, then Merchant consents to QuickDelivery engaging a professional photographer to take photographs of Merchant’s menu items and display such photographs on the QuickDelivery Marketplace as representations of Merchant’s menu items; provided that Merchant may contact QuickDelivery support to have such photographs removed from the Merchant’s store listing and, in such event, QuickDelivery will comply in a timely manner.

The term “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential or proprietary business, technical or financial information or materials of a party (“Disclosing Party”) provided to the other party (“Receiving Party”) in connection with this Agreement, whether orally or in physical form, and shall include the terms of this Agreement.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH QUICKDELIVERY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. THIS SECTION 19 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”.

Scope of Arbitration Agreement.

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this contract, including the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or QuickDelivery may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). QuickDelivery and Merchant agree that, because both are business entities that mutually benefit from streamlined and confidential resolution, this Arbitration Agreement shall apply to all disputes arising from or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement or the relationship between the parties and their personnel. In that regard, this Arbitration Agreement shall be binding upon and enforceable by not only the parties, but also their affiliates, and their owners, officers, directors, managers and employees. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement.

Arbitrator Powers.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and QuickDelivery. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and QuickDelivery.

Waiver of Jury Trial.

YOU AND QUICKDELIVERY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and QuickDelivery are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration, except as specified in Section 17(a) above. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions; Severability.

YOU AND QUICKDELIVERY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE MERCHANT CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or dispute, neither you nor QuickDelivery is entitled to arbitration of such claim or dispute. Instead, all such claims and disputes will then be resolved in a court as set forth in Section 20, and all other provisions of this Section 19 (Dispute Resolution) shall remain in force. If any provision of this Section 19 is adjudged to be void or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the void or unenforceable provision shall be severed, and such adjudication shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Section 19.

Opt Out.

You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor QuickDelivery can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify QuickDelivery in writing of your intention to opt out by sending a letter, by Registered Mail, to Prosyd Courier trading as Quick Delivery 10 Manoel Street, Castries, St. Lucia. Any attempt to opt out by email will be ineffective.  To be effective, your opt-out notice must be postmarked no later than 30 days after your first order on the Platform. Your notice must include your name and address, your QuickDelivery username (if any), the email address you used to set up your QuickDelivery account (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. The letter may opt out, at most, only one merchant, and letters that purport to opt out multiple merchant will not be effective as to any. No merchant (or his or her agent or representative) may effectuate an opt out on behalf of other persons. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us.

Survival.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with QuickDelivery.

Modification.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if QuickDelivery makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to the Company.

To the extent allowed by applicable law, separate and apart from the Mutual Arbitration Provision found in Section 19, Merchant agrees that any proceeding to litigate in court any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether because Merchant opted out of the Arbitration Provision or any other reason, will be conducted solely on an individual basis, and Merchant agrees not to seek to have any controversy, claim or dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which Merchant acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity (“Litigation Class Action Waiver”). Merchant further agrees that no proceeding will be joined, consolidated, or combined with another proceeding, without the prior written consent of all parties to any such proceeding. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that all or part of this Litigation Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Franchisees operating a restaurant concept licensed by Merchant may participate in the Program pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement provided that the individual franchisee: (1) is in compliance with its franchise agreement; and (2) enters into an agreement in substantially the same form as the Supplemental Agreement provided by QuickDelivery to the Franchisee.

Merchant agrees to comply with the Partner Code of Conduct which may be updated by QuickDelivery from time to time.

Merchant agrees to accept and receive communications from QuickDelivery or Drivers, including via email, text message, calls, and push notifications to the cellular telephone number Merchant provides to QuickDelivery. Merchant acknowledges that Merchant may receive communications generated by automatic telephone dialing systems and/or which will deliver prerecorded messages sent by or on behalf of QuickDelivery, its affiliated companies and/or Dashers. Merchant may opt out of such communications in Merchant’s Account Settings or by replying “STOP” from the mobile device receiving such messages.

As set forth on the Sign-Up Sheet between Merchant and QuickDelivery, the Sign-Up Sheet and these Terms constitute an integrated Agreement between the parties, which supersedes all prior agreements and communications of the parties, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The rights and obligations set forth in these Terms, which by their nature should, or by their express terms do, survive or extend beyond the termination or expiration of these Terms shall so survive and extend. This Agreement is governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of St. Lucia without regard to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. Merchant agrees that, except as set forth above in Section 19 (“Dispute Resolution”), the parties hereby consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of St. Lucia. Merchant may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without QuickDelivery’s prior written consent. QuickDelivery may freely assign this Agreement.  This Agreement is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, franchisors, franchisees, and permitted successors and assigns of each party, but shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any third party. All notices, requests, consents and other communications under the Parties' agreements must be in writing and delivered by overnight courier to the addresses set forth on the Sign-Up Sheet (or any updated address properly noticed hereunder). QuickDelivery’s address is 10 Manoel Street, Castries, St. Lucia. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained here.
