FoodOrderz Terms & Conditions

Effective date: February 17, 2026

FoodOrderz ("FoodOrderz", "we", "our", or "us") provides online ordering, customer notifications, kitchen display, vendor management, and optional point-of-sale services for participating food vendors ("Vendors").

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully before using the FoodOrderz website, applications, or related services (collectively, the "Service").

1. Agreement

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms apply to customers, Vendors, pilot participants, website visitors, and any other users of the Service.

2. FoodOrderz and Participating Vendors

FoodOrderz provides a technology platform that allows customers to place orders with participating Vendors.

FoodOrderz is not a restaurant, food truck, caterer, food manufacturer, or food service provider.

Each Vendor is independently responsible for:

  • Menu content
  • Product availability
  • Pricing
  • Taxes
  • Food preparation
  • Food safety
  • Allergen disclosures
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Order fulfillment
  • Pickup procedures
  • Customer service related to the food or products provided

Vendor availability, menus, pricing, operating hours, locations, and fulfillment times may change without notice.

3. Orders, Pricing, and Payments

Order Accuracy

Customers are responsible for reviewing orders before submission.

Once an order has been submitted, Vendors may be unable to modify or cancel it.

Pricing

Prices, fees, taxes, and service charges displayed at checkout apply to the order at the time it is placed.

Menu prices and availability are controlled by each Vendor.

Payment Processing

Payments may be processed through third-party payment providers.

By placing an order, you authorize payment for all charges associated with your order.

FoodOrderz does not store full payment card numbers on its systems.

4. Cancellations, Refunds, and Order Issues

Because many orders involve food prepared specifically for a customer, cancellations and refunds may be limited.

Refunds, credits, and order adjustments may depend on:

  • Vendor policies
  • Food preparation status
  • Pickup status
  • Payment processor requirements
  • Applicable laws

FoodOrderz may assist in resolving disputes but does not guarantee refunds.

Customers should contact support as soon as possible regarding order issues.

5. Vendor Accounts and Pilot Participation

Vendors participating in FoodOrderz may be asked to provide business information, payment onboarding information, and operational details.

Participation in the FoodOrderz pilot does not create any guarantee of future platform features, functionality, availability, or business outcomes.

FoodOrderz reserves the right to approve, suspend, restrict, or terminate vendor access when necessary to protect customers, Vendors, or the platform.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, or abusive purposes.
