MERCHANT RESPONSIBILITIES

Merchant commitments to GOJO

Merchant represents, warrants and undertakes on a continuing basis throughout the Term that Merchant:

has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations under this Agreement;

has all required licences, approvals, authorities and consents to operate the Outlets, sell all applicable F&B Items, and otherwise operate its business as required by Applicable Law, and that each Outlet meets the applicable industry food safety and other applicable standards for an outlet of its kind;

will only use the System for lawful purposes and only for the purposes for which it is intended to be used, and will not impair or circumvent the proper operation of the network on which the System operates; and

will promptly provide GOJO with any documents or information reasonably requested by GOJO in connection with this Agreement, and ensure any documents and information provided by Merchant (or on Merchant’s behalf) to GOJO are at all times accurate, current, complete and not misleading and do not violate any third party intellectual property rights.

Merchant agrees to:

provide information and updates on the Outlets and F&B Items sold by Merchant, and inform GOJO promptly (and in any event no later than two calendar days) of any changes to such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merchant shall honour all Orders made by a User in reliance on any information provided by Merchant and displayed on the User Application;

issue a receipt or purchase bill for each Order and provide a copy to the Driver upon pick-up.

Interactions with Drivers and Users

For the avoidance of doubt, Users purchase F&B Items directly from Merchant, and Driver collects F&B Items from Merchant on behalf of Users and delivers the F&B Items to Users.

To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, GOJO is not responsible or liable for: (a) the acts or omissions of Drivers or Users (including non-payment by Drivers to Merchant, or by Users for F&B Items sold by Merchant); or (b) the quality or condition of the F&B Items.

Merchant agrees:

to treat Drivers and Users with respect, in compliance with the Policies, and not to engage in any unlawful, threatening or harassing behaviour or activities whilst using the System; and

not to cause any damage to third party property.

Although Merchant is solely responsible for its use of the System and provision of the F&B Items, GOJO has the right to deal with any complaints made by: (a) Drivers or Users about Merchant; or (b) Merchant about any Driver or User, through GOJO’s complaints handling process. Merchant agrees to cooperate fully with such process. GOJO also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to redirect any complaints to Merchant and may choose to facilitate discussions with Drivers or Users. Merchant agrees to comply with Applicable Law, the terms of this Agreement and the Policies in Merchant’s handling of such complaints. GOJO’s complaints handling process shall not exclude any rights or remedies that cannot be excluded or limited under Applicable Law. GOJO does not endorse any third party providers (including Drivers), applications or websites that are available or to which Merchant is connected through the System, and in no event shall GOJO, its licensors or GOJO Group Companies be responsible for any content, products, services or other materials on or available from such third party providers.

MERCHANT’S USE OF THE SYSTEM

Subject to Merchant’s compliance with this Agreement, GOJO and its licensors grant Merchant a revocable, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence during the Term and in the Territory, to access and use the System, for the sole purpose of Merchant exercising its rights and performing its obligations in accordance with this Agreement.

All rights not expressly granted to Merchant under this Agreement are reserved by GOJO and its licensors. Nothing in this Agreement transfers any ownership in or to the System (in whole or in part) to Merchant.

In using the System, Merchant shall not:

MERCHANT’S RELATIONSHIP WITH GOJO

Merchant’s relationship with GOJO is that of an independent contractor. Merchant expressly agrees that no employment, joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship exists between GOJO and Merchant. Merchant has no authority to bind GOJO and Merchant undertakes not to hold itself out as an employee, agent, worker or representative of GOJO.

FINANCIAL TERMS

Bank account

Merchant agrees that Merchant has and will maintain a local currency account with a bank in the Territory.

User Fees and Additional Charges

Merchant is entitled to charge Users the following fees for each Order via the System, which may include:

a fee for each F&B Item sold via the System, which unless GOJO agrees otherwise, will be the Merchant’s then-current prices for the F&B Items as shown on Merchant’s menu and displayed on the User Application;

any applicable taxes calculated in accordance with Applicable Law; and

any other amounts payable by the User to Merchant in accordance with the User Terms of Use or the Policies, (together, the User Fees).

The System may allow Merchant to charge Users and/or other parties certain costs incurred during the completion of each Order (without mark-up), as notified to Merchant by GOJO from time to time (including via the Policies) (together, the Additional Charges). GOJO may update the basis on which any component of the Additional Charges is calculated, at any time in its absolute discretion. Any such update will be notified to Merchant. Any Additional Charges on or after the date on which the update takes effect shall be subject to the updated calculation.

Merchant acknowledges and agrees that GOJO may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, adjust or cancel the User Fees or Additional Charges (or part thereof), acting reasonably (for example, where GOJO determines that there is an error in the original calculation, that Merchant has not complied with this Agreement or the Policies, that a fee was charged when it should not have been (or vice versa), or in the case of a complaint from a User). For the avoidance of doubt, if GOJO provides a refund to a User in the case of a complaint from a User, GOJO may investigate the cause of the complaint and if it determines Merchant to be at fault, may invoice Merchant for the value of the refund.

Merchant will be paid the User Fees and any Additional Charges via the following payment methods:

the Driver will be required to pay the User Fees and Additional Charges payable to Merchant, and any other amounts payable by Users to GOJO in cash directly to Merchant when the Driver picks up the Order from Merchant on behalf of User. For this purpose, Merchant agrees to collect any amounts payable by Users to GOJO on behalf of GOJO, and that GOJO is entitled to set-off such amounts from any amounts payable by GOJO to Merchant; or

any other methods offered via the System from time to time.

Promotions

In order to promote usage of the System, the parties may from time to time agree to offer promotions to Drivers and/or Users, which may affect the User Fees payable to Merchant. Merchant must provide the F&B Items at the promotional fees as agreed and displayed via the System.

Service and Other Fees

GOJO will receive a Service Fee as payment for Merchant’s use of the System. Service Fees shall be inclusive of VAT. Service Fees are non-refundable.

GOJO is entitled to invoice Merchant in respect of the Service Fees and any amounts collected by Merchant on behalf of GOJO in accordance with clause 7.5, in accordance with GOJO’s then current invoicing policies, and will also provide Merchant with a report of Orders, for the relevant invoicing period. In the event that GOJO invoices Merchant, Merchant must notify GOJO of any disputes in writing within eight (8) days from the date the report is provided to Merchant, failing which the corresponding invoice will be deemed undisputed and due.

Merchant will pay GOJO the Service Fees, and any amounts collected by Merchant on behalf of GOJO in accordance with clause 7.5, within the Service Fee Payment Term in accordance with the payment method set out in the invoice issued by GOJO. If Merchant fails to pay an undisputed invoice within the Service Fee Payment Term, GOJO may, without limiting its other rights and remedies, suspend Merchant’s access to the System and/or stop displaying information about Merchant’s Outlets via the System until such invoice is paid in full.

In addition to the Service Fees, GOJO reserves the right to charge a fee for all support and services obtained by Merchant, directly or indirectly, through the use of the System, as notified to Merchant by GOJO from time to time (including via the Policies).

Without prejudice to GOJO’s other rights and remedies, GOJO may suspend the processing of any transaction where it reasonably believes that the transaction may be fraudulent, illegal or may involve any criminal activity or where it reasonably believes Merchant, a Driver and/or a User are in breach of this Agreement or the Policies. In such an event, Merchant shall not hold GOJO liable for any withholding of, delay in, suspension of, or cancellation of, any payment to Merchant.

Taxes

This Agreement shall be subject to all applicable prevailing statutory taxes, duties, fees, charges and/or costs, however denominated, as may be in force and in connection with any applicable future taxes that may be introduced at any point of time.

Merchant agrees that GOJO may, to the extent required by Applicable Law, declare, collect and/or pay any relevant taxes on Merchant’s behalf, and disclose all necessary or relevant information to the relevant tax or revenue authority for such purposes.

Merchant agrees to do everything necessary and required by Applicable Law to enable, assist and/or defend GOJO to claim or verify any applicable input tax credit, set off, rebate or refund in respect of any taxes paid or payable in connection with this Agreement.

Any Intellectual Property Rights belonging to a party prior to the Effective Date shall remain vested in that party.

Merchant grants GOJO and the GOJO Group Companies an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence during the Term to use Merchant’s Intellectual Property Rights for the purposes of performing GOJO’s obligations and exercising its rights under this Agreement, including any marketing and promotional activities.

GOJO and its licensors grant Merchant a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free licence during the Term and in the Territory to use GOJO’s Promotional Materials for the sole purpose of conducting marketing and promotional activities as agreed in accordance with clause 8.4 and otherwise in accordance with the Policies and GOJO’s instructions.
