foodora's operations are registered in the register maintained by the Finnish Food Authority. This registration means that foodora’s operations are regularly monitored by food authorities.

2.1 Products offered

To ensure the delivery time and quality of the Product, you may only order Products from Partners that have a business location near the delivery address you specify. The range of Partners and Products available on the Platform varies from time to time. For this reason, we request that You check the Platform for up-to-date information on the Products.

2.2 Order and Supply

All orders are made on the Platform by selecting the Product(s) You are willing to purchase.

Pre-order can be made up to three (3) days in advance.

You order is an offer to purchase the Products listed in Your order. The fulfillment of the order is subject to availability and requires foodora’s approval and we may, in our sole discretion, choose to not accept orders. When You place an order to purchase a Product through the Platform, we will notify you by e-mail that the Partner has received information of Your order. In addition, the estimated delivery time of the Products is provided on the Platform.

2.3 Terms for delivery

Delivery

When placing an order on the Platform with delivery (direct or pre-order), you acknowledge and agree that the Products ordered will be delivered to the location or street address provided by you for the relevant order. Delivery will be made immediately upon completion of the order by foodora's Partner as and if requested by you and therefore you acknowledge that the delivery service is non-refundable and that you do not have any statutory rights of withdrawal in relation to the delivery service.

You must be present at the relevant delivery location or street address, unless you have confirmed when placing the order that the order is to be delivered by the door. If you are not available to receive the order upon delivery, the courier may deliver the Products by the door to the extent no restrictions apply, e.g. the order contains Products for which customer identification or similar is required, in which case you will be deemed to have agreed that the delivery may be made by the door. Once the Products are delivered at the agreed location the risk will transfer to you.

foodora or its Partners are under no obligation to deliver any order by the door to the extent restrictions apply or if it is otherwise deemed inappropriate.

You are responsible to remain available to receive calls at the phone number submitted by you on the Platform. If you cannot be reached at the phone number provided by you and delivery cannot be completed, the delivery and the order may be cancelled. foodora is entitled to charge a fee of 20 EUR (or, if the order value is less, the full order value) to cover for costs and expenses related to the cancellation of the order. This will be charged by way of reducing the amount which can be refunded due to the failed delivery of your order. Your refund may additionally be reduced by the amount corresponding to any Products that foodora or the Partner is unable to resell.

For orders which include Products for which customer identification or similar is required it may be required that the order is received by the person placing the order.

Pick-up

If you have selected Pick-Up when placing the order, the Products are to be picked up by yourself at the Partner’s point of sale at the time specified on the Platform. The Partner may require that you identify yourself with valid identification when collecting the order.

If the order is not picked up within a reasonable time period from the specified Pick-Up time you may be charged full price for the relevant Products and/or any other costs of foodora or the Partner in relation to the order.

2.4 Food ingredients and quality

All orders are prepared by foodora's Partners, and deliveries made by foodora's courier are transported to You by a suitable means of transport, in thermally insulated bags or compartments which meet the requirements of the Finnish Food Authority.

Meals

For meals prepared by foodora Restaurants, foodora displays the lists of ingredients provided by each foodora Restaurant. However, we cannot guarantee that such a list of ingredients will always be accurate or up to date. For this reason, we kindly ask Customers to contact the relevant foodora Restaurant directly, for example on issues related to allergens, ingredients or the origin of a raw materials.

Meals marketed on the Platform are prepared and packaged in the kitchens of foodora Restaurants, which meet the requirements of the Finnish Food Authority and neither foodora, nor the foodora personnel, process or participate in the preparation of meals or any ingredients they contain. Once the meal has been prepared, the foodora Restaurant will pack the meal and, unless You have selected Pick-Up as the delivery method, it will be transported to You by a suitable means of transport.

Meals from foodora Restaurants are intended for consumption immediately after delivery, unless expressly stated otherwise, and foodora or the foodora Restaurant is not responsible for the quality of the meal if consumed later.

Food

If the Products You order contain pre-packaged food, it is important that you read the list of ingredients on the package carefully before consuming those foods, especially if you are allergic to certain food or ingredients. Please note that foodora does not guarantee that the lists of ingredients displayed on the Platform are correct or up to date. If you have any questions about the ingredients of foods marketed through the Platform, please contact the relevant Partner.

3. COSTS OF THE SUPPLY AND PAYMENT

3.1 Price

Prices and payments on the Platform are presented in euros.

The applicable prices of each Product and the delivery service are presented on the Platform at the time of ordering. The price will be displayed in the shopping cart before checkout and will be confirmed by a receipt sent by email. If the price quoted on the Platform is incorrect due to an obvious typo or other obvious error, the incorrect price shall not be binding on foodora. foodora reserves the right to change prices and/or the content and information of the Products and the Supply to apply for orders placed after the change has been made. In the event of significant changes to the Supply or to the Platform, these Terms will be updated, and a new version will be made available on the Platform. Please make sure to read the latest updated version of the Terms when placing an order.

For orders placed via the Platform, a minimum order value may apply. The minimum order value may differ from Partner to Partner but is clearly stated in your cart before checkout and upon placing an order. Upon placing an order for Product(s) which does not in total exceed the minimum order value, foodora will charge the Customer the difference between the total price of the Product(s) and the applicable minimum order value. Please note that these costs may not be refunded in the event of a return made to a Store.

In some cases, foodora may limit the ability of Partners to offer different pricing for Products on the Platform compared to in their own sales channels. This is to ensure that You as a customer are only additionally paying for the specified delivery costs when ordering Products on the Platform, at the same time as foodora will be able to operate a viable business model when offering customers to benefit from the efficiencies generated by our Platform in terms of facilitated search, increased choice and high service levels. We continually invest in the development and improvement of our Platform, and these limitations also balance the benefits that Partners derive from joining the Platform in terms of e.g. visibility and cost savings, against our investments in offering and improving our services.

3.2 Price offers and gift cards

foodora may from time to time offer introductory prices or "trial offers" and other campaign promotional offers ("Campaigns"). Each Campaign is valid only once per each registered user, unless expressly stated otherwise in the Campaign terms and conditions. foodora reserves the right to terminate any Campaign offer at any time without prior notice to the Customer.

Gift cards issued by foodora may be redeemed upon payment for the Products or services available on the Platform, unless otherwise stated in the gift card or in the specific terms of the gift card. The gift card cannot be redeemed for cash. The gift card can only be redeemed once, regardless of whether the full amount of the gift card is used or not. Once the gift card expires, the gift card can no longer be used for payment on the Platform, cannot be reactivated, and any remaining unused value cannot be returned. The gift card can only be used before the ordering process is completed.

3.3 PAYMENT

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, payments for all orders for the Products shall be made at the time of ordering by using a debit/credit card or by paying for the order directly via online banking or using other payment methods available on the Platform at any given time.
