conclude the sale of Products on behalf of, and as commercial agent for, the

areas of the Website without making an Order or registering your details with

able to order any Products through the Website.
2.3. Revision of terms: We may revise these Website Terms at any

4. HOW TO MAKE AN
ORDER AND HOW IT IS PROCESSED
4.1. Compiling your Order: Once
you have selected the Products you wish to order from the menu of your chosen
Restaurant and provided the other required information, you will be given the
opportunity to submit your Order. It is important that you check
all the information that you enter and correct any errors before
completing your order as once you do so you will be entering into a contract
with the Restaurant and errors cannot be corrected.
4.2. Amending or cancelling your
Order: Once you have submitted your Order and your payment has been
authorised, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order, nor will
you be entitled to a refund. If you wish to change or cancel your Order,
you may contact our Customer Care team as described in paragraph 6.3 and they
will attempt to contact the Restaurant in order to communicate your requests.
However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach the Restaurant or
that the Restaurant will agree to your requests as they may have already
started processing your Order.
4.3. Payment authorisation: Where
any payment you make is not authorised, your Order will not be processed or
communicated to the relevant Restaurant.
4.4. Processing your Order and
Restaurant rejections: On receipt of your Order, we will send it to
the relevant Restaurant and will notify you that your Order has been received
and is being processed. Please note that any confirmation page that you may see
on the Website and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may receive each
confirm that you have a contract for the sale of Products with a Restaurant but
does not necessarily mean that your Order will be fulfilled by the Restaurant.
We encourage all our Restaurants to accept all Orders and to communicate any
rejection promptly, and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if
a Restaurant rejects your Order. However, Restaurants have the ability to reject
Orders at any time for any reason. In doing so, Restaurants will be in breach
of their agreement with you and any payment made in respect of the order will
be returned to you in accordance.
4.5. Delivery of your Order: Estimated
times for deliveries and collections are provided by the Restaurants and are
only estimates. Neither we nor the Restaurants guarantee that Orders will be
delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times.
4.6. Commercial agency: For
the avoidance of doubt, any orders processed by SpeedyBites through the Website
are processed by SpeedyBites in its capacity as commercial agent of the
relevant Restaurant
5. PRICE AND
PAYMENT
5.1. VAT and delivery costs: Prices will be as
quoted on the Website. These prices include VAT but may exclude delivery costs
(if you opt for delivery instead of collection) and any administration or
service charge imposed by the Restaurant. These will be added to the total
amount due where applicable.
5.2. Incorrect pricing: This Website
contains a large number of menus and it is possible that some of the menus may
include incorrect prices. If the correct price for an Order is higher than the
price stated on the Website, we will normally contact you before the relevant
Order is dispatched. In such an event, neither we nor the relevant Restaurant
is under any obligation to ensure that the Order is provided to you at the
incorrect lower price or to compensate you in respect of incorrect pricing.
5.3. Payment methods: Payment for
Orders must be made by an accepted credit or debit card through the Website or
in cash to the Restaurant at the point of delivery to, or collection by, you.
5.4. Card payments: If you pay by credit or debit card, you may be
required to show the card to the Restaurant at the time of delivery or
collection as proof of identification and so that they can check that the card
corresponds with the receipt data for the Order. Please note that from time to
time there may be delays with the processing of card payments and transactions;
this may result in payments taking days or weeks to be deducted from your bank
account or charged to your credit or debit card.
5.5. Credit and discount vouchers: 5.6. Rejected Orders: Because
of standard banking procedures, once you have submitted an Order that you are paying
for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or
card issuer will "ring-fence" the full amount of your Order. If your
Order is subsequently rejected by the Restaurant (as described in paragraph 4.4
above) 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 between 3 to 5
working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You
acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the relevant Restaurant 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.
6. CUSTOMER CARE
6.1. General:
6.2. Questions about your Order: If
your Order is taking longer than expected or you have any other problems with

of our Customer Care Advisers will attempt to contact the Restaurant in order
to follow up on your query.
6.3. Changing or cancelling your
Order: If you wish to change or cancel your Order after it has been
submitted and payment has been authorised, you may contact our Customer Care
team as described above and they will attempt to contact the Restaurant in
order to communicate your requests. However, there is no guarantee that we will
be able to reach the Restaurant or that the Restaurant will agree to your
requests as they may have already started processing your Order.
6.4. Complaints or feedback: In
the event that you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the
service provided by a Restaurant, please consider providing feedback in the
form of ratings, comments and reviews on the Website to reflect your
experience. The Reviews are an important part of our quality control process.
6.5. Compensation: If
you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the service provided
by a Restaurant and wish to seek a refund, a proportionate price reduction or
any other compensation, you should contact the Restaurant directly to lodge
your complaint and, where appropriate, follow the Restaurant's own complaint
procedures. If you are unable to contact the Restaurant, or the Restaurant
refuses to deal with your complaint, you can contact our Customer Care Team
within 48 hours of placing your Order and one of our Customer Care Advisers
will attempt to contact the Restaurant in order to request compensation on your
behalf. Please note, however, that the legal contract for the supply and
purchase of Products is between you and the Restaurant that you place your
Order with. We have no control over Restaurants and the quality of the Products

responsibility or liability for providing, any compensation to you on behalf of
