ORDERING TERMS
Access, Skip Services and Products
Through the Skip Platform you may place orders for Goods from Vendors, you may receive delivery of the Goods and Skip may provide customer care support between you, Couriers and Vendors (these services and associated services such as order management, payment processing for Orders and provision of access to the Skip Platform provided by Skip from time to time are the "Skip Services"). For avoidance of doubt, Skip does not prepare or fulfil any orders for Goods or provide delivery services directly and no members of the Skip Group will be liable for any transactions between Customers, Couriers or Vendors. Skip may provide products or services to Couriers or Vendors through a separate agreement executed with such parties. Menus and other Vendor-related information on the Skip Platform is content provided by the Vendor and not Skip.
Skip Customer Account
To use the Skip Platform and most features of the Skip Services, you are required to successfully create a user account (the "Skip Customer Account") using the available interfaces at the Skip Platform.
Placing Orders
Once you have created your Skip Customer Account you may select Goods from a Vendor’s menu, choose your desired quantities, and then add them to your cart. Your cart may be edited at any time prior to placing an Order. Once you have made your selection, you may proceed to place your Order. At this time you will have the opportunity to review your cart items. After you review and confirm that the items in your cart are correct, you may proceed to place your Order, provide your payment card information or select the cash payment option, if available, and an Order will be created and sent to the Vendor. You are responsible to ensure that all of your Order details, including billing, delivery address and other information is current, complete and accurate. Your payment card will be charged when you place your Order if the Order is a Card Order (as defined in section 6(b)). Once you have placed your Order, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order and you will not be entitled to a refund (except where required by law). Notwithstanding that you are not entitled as of right to change or cancel your Order or be entitled to a refund (except where prohibited by law), if you wish to amend or cancel your Order for a total or partial refund of your Order’s price, you must get in touch with Skip via chat, email or the Skip support phone line at the contact information provided on the Skip Platform.
We encourage Vendors to confirm all Orders and to communicate any inability or unwillingness to confirm promptly, and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if the Vendor does not confirm your Order. Vendor's may have the discretion to not confirm Orders. For Card Orders (as defined in section 6(b) below), Skip will provide you with a refund of the price of your Order after communicating to you the non- confirmation or cancellation of your Order by the Vendor.
Because of standard banking procedures, once you have placed a Card Order and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer will "ring-fence" the full amount of your Order. If your Order is not confirmed by the Vendor or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the Order to us, and will instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. However, this may take a period of typically up to 5 working days (and in some cases up to 30 days, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that no members of the Skip Group nor the relevant Vendor will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.
You agree that Skip or the Vendor will have no liability to you for Orders that are not confirmed, are cancelled or that the Vendor has been unable or unwilling to fulfill.
Customer Care, Goods Contract, Third Party Couriers and Refunds
Skip may offer customer care in respect of issues relating to the Vendors and the Couriers. If you have any problems, questions or suggestions with respect to the Skip Platform or your Order, please contact Skip’s customer care team (and not the Vendor or Courier) via chat (preferable), email or phone at the contact information provided on the Skip Platform.
The legal contract for the purchase of Goods will in all cases be between the Customer and the Vendor. You irrevocably appoint and authorize us to act as your sole and exclusive agent for the purpose of concluding contracts for the sale of Goods between you and the Vendor by means of you placing Orders via the Skip Platform. We may act as agent for the Customer and the Vendor for the legal contract for the purchase and sale of the Goods. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO MEMBER OF THE SKIP GROUP HAS ANY CONTROL OVER THE QUALITY OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES OFFERED BY VENDORS AND COURIERS AND THAT NO MEMBERS OF THE SKIP GROUP WILL HAVE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE VENDOR CONCERNING YOUR ORDERS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MISSED OR LATE DELIVERIES, MISSED GOODS ITEMS, AND ANY PROBLEMS WITH RESPECT TO THE QUALITY OF THE GOODS DELIVERED INCLUDING IF GOODS CAUSE ILLNESS, ALLERGIC REACTIONS OR HAVE INCORRECT NUTRITIONAL VALUES.
For Delivery Orders that the Vendor arranges or for which third party couriers provide delivery services, we are not liable for any service or product provided by such couriers.

Gift Card Terms and Skip Credits
Skip may grant you credit toward eligible purchases as set out in these terms ("Eligible Purchases") in the form of Skip gift cards ("Gift Cards") or Skip credit ("Skip Credit"). When you purchase a Gift Card, you are purchasing credit toward Eligible Purchases in a particular dollar amount and currency that is stored in an electronic form and linked to a unique gift card claim code ("Claim Code"). To use a Gift Card, you must have a Skip Customer Account, log in to your Skip Customer Account, and apply the Gift Card to your Skip Customer Account by entering the Claim Code on the Skip Platform. Skip Credit is credit toward Eligible Purchases in a particular dollar amount that is associated with a unique Skip Customer Account. The value of Skip Credit including credit from Gift Cards applied to your Skip Customer Account is referred to as your "Skip Credit Balance". When you apply a Gift Card to your Skip Customer Account, your Skip Credit Balance will be credited by the dollar value of the Gift Card, and the value associated with the Claim Code will be reduced to zero. From time to time, Skip may also issue Skip Credit to you for other purposes (for example, to refund a purchase that you have made). Your Skip Credit Balance includes the total remaining balance of all Skip Credit that has been applied to your Skip Customer Account by way of Gift Card or otherwise, but not yet applied to a purchase. To check your Skip Credit Balance, log in to your Skip Customer Account. To check the balance of a Gift Card before it has been applied to a Skip Customer Account, simply review the email or other document in which you received the Gift Card, where the face value will be printed.
The Eligible Purchases that you may purchase using Gift Cards and Skip Credit consist of Goods, including all fees and costs on the Order for those Goods which you are permitted to purchase in accordance with these Terms of Service. Skip reserves the right to restrict the use of Gift Cards and Skip Credit to comply with applicable law. Gift Cards and Skip Credit cannot be used to purchase anything other than Eligible Purchases and must be used in the currency in which they were paid or credited for.
When you make a purchase from your Skip Customer Account using Skip Credit (including Skip Credit from a Gift Card), the value of the Skip Credit that you use for that purchase will be deducted from your Skip Credit Balance. As long as you are only purchasing Eligible Purchases, you may use Skip Credit to pay for all fees and costs on your Order, including but not limited to the cost of Goods, delivery charges, tips, and taxes. Any unused Skip Credit Balance will remain associated with your Skip Customer Account. If the cost of an Order exceeds your Skip Credit Balance, the remaining amount must be paid with another payment method.
Gift Cards and Skip Credit do not expire. There are no fees associated with purchasing, using, or redeeming Gift Cards or Skip Credit.
Gift Cards and Skip Credit cannot be resold (except with the express written permission of Skip), used for payment outside the Eligible Purchases, transferred for value, returned for a cash refund, or redeemed for cash, except to the extent required by applicable law. Gift Cards cannot be reloaded. No portion of your Skip Credit Balance may be transferred to another Skip Customer Account or otherwise assigned or transferred to another person. Skip Credit cannot be used in conjunction with Cash Orders.
The risk of loss and title for Gift Cards pass to the purchaser upon our electronic transmission of the Gift Card to the purchaser or designated recipient. Skip is not responsible if any Gift Card is lost, stolen or destroyed, if your Skip Credit Balance or any Gift Card is used without your permission, or if you lose access to your Skip Customer Account or any Skip Credits.
Gift Cards and Skip Credit may be subject to any additional terms and conditions that will be specified in connection with the specific Gift Card and Skip Credit grant.
Skip has the right to void Gift Cards or Skip Credit, close Skip Customer Accounts and bill alternative forms of payment if it suspects that a Gift Card is obtained, used or applied to a Skip Customer Account (or Skip Credit is applied to a purchase) fraudulently, unlawfully or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Service, or in a manner that abuses the Skip Platform.
