OUR PURPOSE

We have created the Website to serve as a marketplace. Foodify is a merchant of food ordering and services. Foodify does not sell or control the production of any food produced at the Restaurants. Rather, this marketplace provides buyers the ability to search for and find local Restaurants that deliver.

The Restaurants are obligated by Foodify to comply with federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, and standards pertaining to food preparation, sale, marketing and safety. It is critical for users to understand, however, that Foodify does not in any way independently verify the credentials, representations or products of Restaurants, the ingredients or the quality of any products, or that a Restaurant is in compliance with applicable laws. Buyers must make themselves comfortable through information provided by Restaurants on the Website or as requested by buyers directly from the Restaurants as to the quality and reliability of the Restaurants, as well as to their compliance with applicable laws. Foodify does not in any way guarantee the quality of any food or that any food complies with applicable laws. In addition, a Restaurant may represent that food preparation is in accordance with special standards such as “organic,” “kosher,” “macrobiotic” or allergen-specific standards such as “nut-free,” “gluten-free,” or “lactose-free.” Foodify does not, however, independently investigate or verify such representations. Foodify shall not be liable or responsible for any food or services offered by Restaurants that is unhealthy, is the cause of injury, that is otherwise unacceptable to buyers or that does not meet the expectation of buyers in any manner, and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim you may have that pertains to the quality of the food or the preparation thereof. Buyers are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of delivery addresses, and Foodify shall have no liability or responsibility for any such erroneous addresses.

Please direct all complaints concerning Restaurants to Foodify’s attention as indicated on the Website.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Foodify, its officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers, harmless from and against any claims, actions or demands, liabilities and settlements including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from, or alleged to result from, your intentional or unintentional violation of these Terms and Conditions, your violation of applicable law, your use of the Site, materials or content, and/or all uses by Foodify or any Foodify-authorized third party or any action you commence against a restaurant (including any actions for personal injury you suffered as a result of the consumption of such restaurant’s food).

DISPUTES

Between Users

If there is a dispute between users of the Website, or between users and any third party, you understand and agree that Foodify is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you hereby release Foodify, its officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or the Foodify Services, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Foodify from any such claims, demands and damages.

With Foodify

You agree that all disputes between you and us will be resolved by binding arbitration as provided for in this provision entitled “Disputes.”

THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION IS MEANT TO HELP RESOLVE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US. IT DICTATES THAT ALL DISPUTES CONNECTED TO THIS CONTRACT WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.

Binding Arbitration

You agree that all claims, disputes or disagreements that may arise out of the interpretation or performance of this Agreement, including any advertising or marketing communications regarding Foodify or the Services, or that in any way relate to your use of the Website, the materials and/or other content on the Website (including data breaches), shall be submitted exclusively to binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which people waive their rights to:

  1. a. File a lawsuit.
  2. b. Proceed in court.
  3. c. Have a trial by jury.

Instead, people submit disputes to a neutral third party (“arbitrator”) for a binding decision. Unless noted otherwise, entering into this Agreement waives your right to litigate claims (sue) and be heard by a judge or jury. Without this provision, you and we may otherwise have a right or opportunity to:

  1. a. Bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury; and/or
  2. b. Participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions).

You acknowledge and agree that you and Foodify are each waiving the right to a trial by jury. You further acknowledge and agree that you waive your right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or mass action, or representative proceeding in any action against us. Further, unless both you and Foodify otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or mass action, or representative proceeding.

You have the right to opt out of this provision by giving us written notice within 30 days after becoming subject to this Agreement. If we don’t receive written notice during that time, you cannot opt out and agree that provisions here apply.

In this provision, “you” and “us” includes the employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, beneficiaries, agents, and assigns of you and us.

This provision applies to each and every claim, dispute, or controversy related in any way to:

  1. a. This Agreement.
  2. b. This provision (including claims about the applicability, enforceability, or validity of this provision).
  3. c. Any and all use of the Website or Foodify Services by you.
  4. d. Any other aspect of our relationship.

Neither you nor we have the right to litigate any claim in court or the right to a jury trial on any claim, except as consistent with this Agreement. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVING ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO GO TO COURT, HAVE A JURY TRIAL, OR PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS. IN ADDITION, NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. ALSO, NEITHER YOU NOR WE MAY PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS.

All claims will be resolved individually by binding arbitration on an individual basis. Claims made and remedies sought as part of a class action, private attorney general, or other representative actions are subject to arbitration on an individual (non-class, non-mass, non-representative) basis. The arbitrator cannot conduct class-wide proceedings. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS BASIS. YOU CANNOT COMBINE OR JOIN ANY OF YOUR CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM.

Governing Law

We agree that this agreement to arbitrate is made in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as it may be amended, and shall be brought in Hennepin County, Minnesota. If the Federal Arbitration Act does not apply, the substantive law of the State of Minnesota will govern this provision and any legal action arising out of or related in any respect to this Website or the Foodify Services shall be brought solely in either the applicable federal or state courts located in or with jurisdiction over Hennepin County, Minnesota; subject, however, to the right of Foodify, at Foodify’s sole discretion, to bring an action to seek injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement or to stop or prevent an infringement of proprietary or other third party rights (or any similar cause of action) in any applicable court in any jurisdiction where jurisdiction exists with regard to a user.

Location, Procedures, and Authority

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Foodify, 214 Jefferson St., Suite 200, Lafayette, LA 70501, Attn: Legal Department. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at http://www.jamsadr.com (under the Rules/Clauses tab) or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules.

The arbitrator will:

  1. a. Apply relevant substantive law that is consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act.
  2. b. Apply statutes of limitation.
  3. c. Honor claims of privilege recognized at law.

The arbitrator can award the winning party all remedies available at common law, by statute or in equity but we agree the arbitrator cannot award any punitive damages, except to the extent such damages would be available in litigation.

Expenses

For all claims under $10,000, we will pay all arbitration expenses, including filing, administrative, hearing, and arbitration fees, to the extent that they are more than you would have to pay to file a lawsuit in court. Throughout the arbitration, each party will pay his or her own attorney fees and expenses (such as expert witness fees). If you win in the arbitration of any claim against us, we’ll reimburse you for any fees you paid to the arbitration organization related to the arbitration. However, you agree to promptly reimburse us for all fees and expenses paid on your behalf if the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose.

Binding Effect, Survival, and Severability

Except as noted above, the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on all parties subject to this provision—you, us, and heirs, successors, assigns, and related third parties of you and us. This provision will survive termination of your use of the Website or Foodify Services. If any part of this provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable under any law or statute consistent with the FAA, that finding will not cancel any remaining part of this provision, the contract, or any other agreement between you and us. However, class arbitration prohibition is not severable from the rest of this provision. If a court deems class arbitration prohibition invalid and unenforceable, any later class action or representative proceeding will be in a court of law and not subject to binding arbitration.

MISCELLANEOUS

If any part of these Terms and Conditions is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. No waiver of any of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. Possible evidence of use of this site for illegal purposes will be provided to law enforcement authorities. This is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the use of this site. Foodify can revise these Terms and Conditions at any time by updating this posting. You agree to be bound to any changes to this Agreement when you use the Foodify Services after any such modification posted on the Website becomes effective. Foodify may also, in its discretion, choose to alert all users with whom it maintains email information of such modifications by means of an email to their most recently provided email address. It is therefore important that you regularly review this Agreement and keep your contact information current in your account settings to ensure you are informed of changes. Modifications to this Agreement shall be effective after being posted but shall not apply retroactively. Additionally, modifications made to this Agreement applicable to dispute resolution shall not apply to disputes arising prior to the effective date of the modification. This site may be linked to other sites which are not maintained by Foodify. Foodify is not responsible for the content of those sites. The inclusion of any link to such sites does not imply endorsement by Foodify of the sites...

Foodify reserves the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Foodify Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that Foodify shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Foodify Services.
