Access and Use of the Service

Services Description: The Service is a technology platform that provides an online marketplace which enables connections between personal chefs, caterers and other individuals who wish to list, offer, sell and deliver food items and meal orders ("Meal(s)") to the general public, and customers who browse and purchase Meals. Users who purchase Meals through the Service are "Customer(s)," and users who list, prepare and sell Meals through the Service are "Seller(s)." A user may be both a Customer and Seller. All purchases are made directly (and any contract for purchase and sale is) between the Customer and Seller.

Mama offers a marketplace, it is not itself a Seller and is not preparing, packaging or selling any food. The Service includes enabling users to connect with each other and related services but we are not a party to any purchase or sales transaction. To encourage return use of the Service, Mama may also help facilitate the resolution of disputes between Customers and Sellers, but Mama has no control over and does not guarantee (a) the existence, quality, safety, authenticity, or legality of Meals offered or sold on the Service; (b) the truth or accuracy of a Seller's content or listings on the Service; (c) the ability of a Seller to sell Meals through the Service and deliver Meals within required delivery windows; (d) the ability of Customers to pay for Meals purchased through the Service; or (e) that a Customer or Seller will actually complete a transaction, effectuate trouble-free delivery and shipping, or return a Meal through the Service.

Sellers are independent business owners and independent contractors and not employees, partners, representatives, agents, joint venturers, independent contractors or franchisees of Mama. Mama does not cook, package or deliver food and does not employ people to cook, package or deliver food.

Each Seller is solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws, rules and regulations and standards, including but not limited to those pertaining to the preparation, sale, marketing, and packaging of all Meals ordered through Mama, and updating details and prices relating to the Meals offered. Each Seller is solely liable for the quality, safety, and freshness of its products, and Mama does not verify the credentials, representations, products, services or prices offered by any Sellers, and does not guarantee the quality of the product or services, or that Sellers or Meals comply with applicable laws. Mama will not be liable or responsible for any Meals provided by Sellers that are a cause of injury or that do not meet your expectations in any manner.

Depending on the jurisdiction, Mama may enter into agreements with independent contractors (each a "Courier") to provide delivery services under certain circumstances if desirable by individual Sellers or Customers. If a Seller or Customer chooses to use a Courier to deliver a Meal, Mama is not offering such delivery services and has no responsibility or liability for the actions or inactions of any Courier. Mama will not be liable or responsible for any delivery services provided by a Courier or any errors or misrepresentations made by them. Couriers are required to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Ingredients and Allergens: For any particular Meal and related content posted using the Service, a Seller shall provide a comprehensive list of ingredients contained in or otherwise used to prepare the Meal, including any known allergens. Mama is not responsible for the accuracy of the information and labeling of Meals delivered to Customers. Customers should be advised that Meals may be prepared in facilities using the same equipment that is used to prepare Meals containing other allergens even if the allergen is marked as being absent from the food. Mama shall not be liable for any illness, health problem, or other damages that may result from any order or consumption of any Meals and related items purchased through the Service.

 

Seller Insurance: Mama maintains insurance for its own business operations but it does not maintain insurance for the actions of Sellers or Customers. If you are a Seller, Mama recommends that you obtain appropriate insurance to cover the operation of your food facility and the preparation and delivery of Meals. Please review any respective insurance policy carefully, and in particular make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the actions or inactions of Customers or any third party service.

 

Customer Review Guidelines: To the extent you are a Customer, Mama may allow you to upload content and leave reviews regarding your purchase of Meals. Mama may accept, reject or remove reviews and any associated content in its sole discretion. Mama has absolutely no obligation to screen or to delete reviews or associated content, even if anyone considers reviews objectionable or inaccurate. Those Customers posting reviews should comply with the following criteria: (1) reviewers should have firsthand experience with the person/entity being reviewed; (2) reviews should not contain: offensive language, profanity, or abusive, racist, or hate language; discriminatory references based on religion, race, gender, national origin, age, marital status, sexual orientation or disability; or references to illegal activity; (3) reviewers should not be affiliated with competitors if posting negative reviews; (4) reviewers should not make any conclusions as to the legality of conduct;; and (5) reviewers may not post any false statements or organize a campaign encouraging others to post reviews, whether positive or negative. Reviews are not endorsed by Mama, and do not represent the views of Mama or of any affiliate or partner of Mama. Mama does not assume liability for any review or for any claims, liabilities or losses resulting from any review. Any review you post will be considered User Content (as defined below).

 

Marketplace Risk: Mama is not affiliated with or endorsed by any Seller, restaurant or other meal preparation service made available through the Service. Beyond its capacity as a marketplace and technology platform, Mama is not a party to or involved in any transaction between Customers and Sellers, and does not act as a Customer, Seller (or affiliate for a Customer or Seller) or broker with respect to any transactions. There are risks that you assume when dealing with other users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses) and all of these risks are borne by you, and not Mama. We encourage you to use the various functionalities of the Service (e.g., Seller profiles, meal options, and user reviews) to help evaluate the user with whom you are dealing.

 

Sellers as Independent Business Owners / Independent Contractors: Users of the Service acting in the capacity of a Seller do so in their personal capacity as an independent business and independent contractor and seller of goods and not as an employee of Mama. As a Seller, you agree that: (i) you are an independent business owner and not an employee of Mama; (ii) you shall be solely responsible for determining the means and manner of the work performed to create the goods you sell through the Marketplace; (iii) these Terms of Service do not create an association, joint venture, partnership, franchise, or employer/employee relationship between you and Mama, or you and a Customer; (iv) you will not represent yourself as an employee or agent of Mama to any Customer; (v) you will not be entitled to any of the benefits that Mama may make available to its employees, such as vacation pay, sick leave, and insurance programs, including group health insurance or retirement benefits; and (vi) you are not eligible to recover contributor's compensation benefits in the event of injury. As a Seller, you will not engage a Customer in any way that may jeopardize your status as an independent business.

 

Mama does not control the behavior of users of the Service or the information or User Content (defined below) provided by other users. As a result, Mama does not guarantee or endorse the legality, authenticity, quality, or safety of any Meals offered or sold, the truth or accuracy of any listings, or the ability of Sellers to sell Meals or of Customers to buy Meals. We cannot assure that all transactions will be completed. Additionally, Mama does not guarantee the ability or intent of users to fulfill their obligations in any transactions. Mama reserves the right to delay the completion of any transaction for a reasonable period of time for purposes of fraud detection and otherwise protecting Mama and its users from illegal or wrongful activities or other violations of these Terms of Services.

Purchase and Sale Transactions

 

Fees: Registering for the Service is free; however, Mama charges certain fees for various transactions effected through the Service, as set forth in the fee policy located at https://mamafoods.com/fee-policy (the "Fee Policy"). Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. dollars.

 

Taxes; Shipping Costs; Customer Responsibility: Meals purchased by and delivered to Customers in locations in the U.S. may be subject to applicable state or local sales or use tax, privilege tax or similar transaction-based taxes required in the food services industry of a particular location ("Taxes"). The amount of Taxes is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to a Customer's designated delivery address, and/or the location of the Seller.

 

Customers are responsible for paying to a Seller the applicable purchase price for a purchased Meal, as well as any delivery costs and paying applicable Taxes associated with the purchase and sale of any Meals through the Service. Delivery costs and Taxes attributable to the sale of any Meals are not included in the listed price for any Meals listed by Sellers through the Service but will be displayed to Customers before confirmation of any purchase.

 

Sellers are responsible for paying Mama's commission set forth in the Fee Policy as well as their own taxes imposed or measured by such Seller's net income, net profits, income, profits, and/or revenues associated with the sale of any Meals through the Service.

 

Packaging: Sellers may choose to purchase packaging materials and/or labels from us for the delivery of Meals prepared for Customers. If purchased, we may charge your credit card or other acceptable payment method you provide.

 

Payments; Subscriptions: Customers may pay for Items using credit cards or other payment methods as may be determined by Mama from time to time. Sellers will be prompted to provide bank account details to us so that we may facilitate transfer of payments received from Customers purchasing Meals. If you submit your payment information through the Service, then you authorize Mama to store that payment information and charge your payment method for any Item you purchase. You will promptly update your account information with any changes (for example, a change in your billing address or credit card expiration date) that may occur.

 

If you purchase Meals on a recurring or subscription basis, you hereby authorize Mama to bill your payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of any particular subscription order until you terminate or pause such order or terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred. If you dispute any charges you must let Mama know within fourteen (14) days after the date that Mama charges you.

 

Fee Modifications: We reserve the right to change or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, some or all of the fees for the Service. Any change will be effective upon posting of a revised Fee Policy unless a different notice period is required by law. Your continued use of the Service after the fee change becomes effective constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount.

 

Promotions; Credits: Mama may from time to time offer Users certain promotions, incentives or credits ("Promotions") towards the purchase of Meals and/or fees associated with use of the platform, and Users may use such Promotions in accordance with their terms. Depending on the type of Promotion used, it may reduce the amount of taxes that apply to a Customer's order. The application of the Promotion will be reflected at the time of checkout and on the receipt of purchase. Promotions are personal to the User that they are sent to and may not be shared or redeemed with anyone else unless it is explicitly permitted by the terms of that Promotion. Sellers may also offer Promotions to their customers through the platform and are solely responsible for any costs associated with redemption of that Promotion.

 

ID Verification; Other Safety Checks. In some locations, the sale and delivery of alcohol may be permitted through the Marketplace. In such jurisdictions, the Seller must hold a valid liquor license that permits the sale of cocktails for delivery and it is the responsibility of such Seller and any delivery provider they use to verify identification and age, and to determine whether it is otherwise safe and appropriate to furnish their Customers with alcohol. They may require a valid form of photo identification with birthdate and a signed acknowledgment confirming acceptance at the time of pick-up or delivery. If they cannot verify a Customer’s age or identity, if a Customer appears intoxicated, or if the situation is otherwise unsafe or inappropriate (for example, the Customer is 25 years old but appears to be in the company of only 18 year olds), they may refuse to furnish the Customer with alcohol. Alcohol cannot be left unattended (contactless delivery is not available for alcohol orders) — someone 21 or older must be present to accept and sign for it. If a Mama is unable to deliver your product for this or a similar reason, the Mama may still charge you for the order. If we believe that your order is fraudulent or unlawful, we may suspend your use of the Platform.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration: PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

 

1. Agreement to Arbitrate

 

This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in this Terms of Service as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Mama, whether arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Terms of Service, you and Mama are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

 

For Sellers, or Seller registrants, you may opt out of the requirement to arbitrate if you have not previously agreed to an arbitration provision in Mama’s Terms of Service where you had the opportunity to opt out of the requirement to arbitrate. If you have previously agreed to such an arbitration provision, you may opt out of any revisions to your prior arbitration agreement made by this version of the arbitration agreement in the manner specified below, but opting out of this arbitration agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with Mama. Except as specified in this arbitration agreement, if you are a Seller, you may opt out of the Arbitration Agreement by notifying Mama in writing within 30 days of your agreement to these Terms of Service. To opt out, you must send a signed written notification to 9450 SW Gemini Dr, PMB 92716, Beaverton, Oregon 97008-7105 Attention: Legal, that includes (a) your account username, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address, and (f) a clear statement indicating that you wish to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement. b. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

 

YOU AND Mama AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND Mama AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

 

1. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

 

Mama is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@mamafoods.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Mama should be sent to 9450 SW Gemini Dr, PMB 92716, Beaverton, Oregon 97008-7105. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Mama and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Mama may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Mama or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Mama is entitled.

 

1. Arbitration Procedures

 

Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes be found at the AAA's consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

 

Unless Mama and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Mama agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

 

1. Costs of Arbitration

 

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Mama will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Mama will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Mama will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

 

1. Confidentiality

 

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

 

1. Severability

 

If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

 

1. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement

 

Notwithstanding any provision in this Terms of Service to the contrary, Mama agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Mama written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).

 

Termination

 

You agree that Mama, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content within the Service, for breach of the Terms of Service, for lack of use or if Mama believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Mama may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this Terms of Service may be affected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Mama may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Mama will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

 

User Disputes

 

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other user in connection with the Service and Mama will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Mama reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service.

 

General

 

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Mama and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Mama with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third party services, third party content or third party software. These Terms of Service will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Mama agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Francisco County, California. The failure of Mama to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Terms of Service without the prior written consent of Mama, but Mama may assign or transfer this Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
