YESMEAL MERCHANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – United States of America
Effective: September 30th, 2019
1.INCORPORATION.
These Yesmeal General Terms and Conditions (“General Terms”) are expressly incorporated into and made a part of the Yesmeal Platform Order Form (“Order Form”) (the Order Form and these General Terms, collectively, the “Agreement”).
2.TERM AND TERMINATION.
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided below, shall continue for a period of one (1) year from the Effective Date (“Initial Term”) and shall automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods (each, a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”). Either party may terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by the other party if the breach is not cured by the other party within two (2) days’ notice thereof by the non-breaching party. Either party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety at any time without cause by giving seven (7) days’ prior written notice of termination to the other party. Sections 1, 4.2, 4.3, 5 (for the time period specified), 6-10, and the last sentence of this Section 2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
3.SERVICES.
3.1 Items and Services.
Proton and its affiliates make available certain proprietary technology services that facilitate the marketing, sale and fulfillment of orders for food, beverages and other products (“Items“) from Merchant to Customers (as defined below), including on-demand lead generation, payment processing, marketing, advertising and promotional services, proprietary information services, onboarding, operational and other support services (“Yesmeal Services”).
3.2 Merchant Technology.
In connection with the Yesmeal Services, Proton and its affiliates may also make available to Merchant a website, mobile application or other technology interface for Merchant to access and use the Yesmeal Services (collectively, the “Proton Tools“), which may include Proton’s and its affiliates’ proprietary technology platform referred to as Restaurant Manager, through which insights and analytics regarding Merchant’s performance and history using the Yesmeal Services are provided, and Proton and its affiliates’ proprietary technology platform referred to as Restaurant Dashboard, through which Merchant may, among other things, receive, accept and fulfill requests for Items from Customers.
3.3 Yesmeal App.
Proton and its affiliates may also make available to Customers its proprietary technology that enables Customers to purchase Items from Merchant and request delivery services for said Items from Delivery Partners/Merchant Self-delivery (as defined below), who retrieve such Items from Merchant and deliver such Items to such Customers (“Yesmeal App“). Delivery Partners are independent contractors, and as such, they reserve the right to refuse to accept any Item in their sole discretion.
4.PROTON OBLIGATIONS.
4.1 Yesmeal Services.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Proton and its affiliates will make available the applicable Yesmeal Services to Merchant, solely for use by Merchant at locations that are owned and operated by Merchant (each, a “Location“), as set forth in an Order Form or otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. In connection with the provision of Yesmeal Services to Merchant, Proton and its affiliates, on behalf of Merchant, may respond to complaints by Merchant’s customers (“Customers”) about Items sold by Merchant via the Yesmeal App. In addition, Proton may make available certain Proton Tools to Merchant, and Merchant may access and use those Proton Tools solely in connection with Merchant’s use of the Yesmeal Services. For the avoidance of doubt, as between Merchant and Proton, Proton will retain sole and absolute control over the Yesmeal App (and all elements of the user experience and user interface relating to the Yesmeal App), including with respect to: (i) the personalization of the Yesmeal App for Customers; (ii) the prioritization and display of options available to Customers; (iii) the search functionality and results provided to Customers; (iv) the order fees charged to Customers for the delivery services provided by Delivery Partners; and (v) adding, removing or otherwise modifying any feature or functionality made available through the Yesmeal App to optimize reliability or efficiency on the Yesmeal App.
4.2 Technology, Not Delivery, Services.
For the sake of clarity, neither Proton nor its affiliates provide any delivery services. Rather, Proton provides technology services that both (i) enable Merchant to connect with Customers who may purchase Items from Merchant and (ii) enable Delivery Partners to seek, receive and fulfill on-demand requests for delivery services by or on behalf of Customers seeking delivery services. Delivery Partners perform their delivery services for (and are paid by) the Customers, and not Merchant. “Delivery Partner” is defined as an independent contractor that intends to seek, receive and fulfill on-demand requests for delivery services using Proton’s proprietary technology under license from Proton or its affiliates.
5.MERCHANT OBLIGATIONS.
5.1 Availability of Items.
Merchant will make Items available for purchase through the Yesmeal App during its normal business hours. Merchant will prepare, handle and store all Items in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation all laws, rules and regulations governing time or temperature controls required for food safety (“Food Safety Standards“). Merchant will determine any quality, portion, size, ingredient or other criteria that apply to Items (“Criteria”) and Merchant is responsible for ensuring that all Items meet the applicable Criteria. If Merchant fails to prepare Items in accordance with Food Safety Standards or if any Item fails to meet the Criteria (each, a “Substandard Item”), Proton may, in its sole discretion, remove such Item from the Yesmeal App. Items that contain (or may contain) an endangered species may not be made available for purchase through, and will be removed from, the Yesmeal App. Merchant represents and warrants that all nutritional information for Items, including calorie count or allergen information, that is made available through the Yesmeal App is, and at all times will remain, accurate. In addition, Merchant will ensure that the contents of its menu (including any notifications about ingredients, nutritional information, allergen information, etc.) are accurate and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
5.2 Item Responsibility.
Merchant acknowledges and agrees that neither Proton nor the Delivery Partner takes title to any Item at any time. Notwithstanding, Merchant shall be responsible for any reimbursement costs related to Customer refunds for Substandard Items or other related issues within Merchant’s control (including any costs associated with retrieving any such Substandard Items or otherwise unsatisfactory Item(s), if applicable)), including by way of example, missing or incomplete Items, Items not cooked thoroughly, and Items not prepared in accordance with Merchant’s internal standards. Proton may, in its sole discretion, deduct reimbursement costs from the payment Proton remits to Merchant in accordance with this Section 4. To the extent required by applicable law, and only for the purpose of the expedited provision of Items, Items are sold to Customers under Merchant’s retail and food delivery license privileges.
At the time of the sale, Yesmeal online price will match the original amount in the seller (including their online prices), and we price match products sold in the following major channels: the online prices of the seller on official websites and the original prices of the identical products in their physical store;
In-Store price-match Guarantee in is only available within 7 days after you placed an order for products in a pick up store on Yesmeal APP, if you find that the price of the product in your order is higher than the original price of the identical product via dine-in at a seller, please apply to refund the price difference within 7 days.
5.4 Devices.
If Proton supplies a tablet or other mobile device (“Device“) to Merchant to use in connection with the availability of Items via the Yesmeal App, Merchant agrees that: (i) Device(s) may only be used for the purpose of accepting orders via the Yesmeal App, and (ii) Device(s) may not be transferred, loaned, sold or otherwise provided in any manner to any third party. Devices(s) will at all times remain the property of Proton and/or its affiliates, and upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, or the extended absence of all of Merchant’s location(s) from the Yesmeal App for longer than forty-five (45) days, Merchant will return all applicable Device(s) to Proton within ten (10) days. If Merchant receives a wireless data plan for the Device, Proton may require a weekly reimbursement Merchant for the costs associated with the wireless data plan of each applicable Device. Merchant agrees that the loss or theft of a Device, the failure to timely return a Device, or any damage to a Device outside of normal wear and tear, may result in a fee (“Damage Fee”). Merchant agrees that Proton may deduct the reimbursement or Damage Fee from the Item Revenue prior to remittance of such Item Revenue to Merchant, or charge Merchant for this fee (“Damage Fee”) directly from Merchant Bank Account.
5.5 Restrictions.
In connection with the access to and use of the Yesmeal Services and Proton Tools, Merchant will not (and will not allow any third party to): (i) reverse engineer or attempt to discover any source code or underlying ideas or algorithms used to provide the Yesmeal Services (except to the extent applicable law prohibits reverse engineering restrictions); (ii) provide, lease, lend, disclose, or otherwise use or allow others to use, in each case, for the direct benefit of any third party, the Proton Tools or Yesmeal Services (except as otherwise authorized by Proton); or (iii) possess or use, or allow the transfer, transmission, export, or re-export of any software or portion thereof in violation of any export control laws or regulations administered by the U.S. Commerce Department, U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any other government agency. Merchant will not (and will not allow any third party to) use the Yesmeal Services or any other transactional, operational, performance or other data or information that is related to the sale of Items to Customers through the Yesmeal App to directly or indirectly compete with Proton or its affiliates or the Yesmeal Services. Furthermore, orders cannot weigh (in the aggregate) more than 30 pounds. The following restricted Items may not be featured or sold via the Yesmeal App: people or animals of any size, illegal items, alcohol, fragile items, dangerous items (like weapons, explosives, flammables, etc.), stolen goods, Items containing endangered species or any items that Merchant does not have permission to send.
6.FEES AND TAXES.
6.1 Fees; Calculation.
For each Item sold by Merchant via the Yesmeal App, Merchant will pay Proton as follows: the Retail Price (as defined below) of all Items that Merchant sells via the Yesmeal App (excluding any Sales Tax collected on Merchant’s behalf) multiplied by the applicable fee percentage for the Sales Channel used to sell each such Item (“Fee“). The Fee does not include any applicable taxes or other fees. Proton will remit to Merchant the total Retail Price collected for all Items Merchant sells via the Yesmeal App (including any Sales Tax and other fees collected on its behalf) less: (a) the applicable retained Fee; and (b) any refunds given to Customers (such final remitted amount being “Item Revenue”). All Item Revenue that is duly owed to Merchant will be remitted within fourteen (14) business days of the sale of the Item. Subject to the foregoing, Proton will typically make such payment on a weekly basis.
All Fees under this Agreement will be paid in U.S. Dollars. Proton or its affiliates will deduct the Fee from the payment Proton collects on Merchant’s behalf, as detailed in Section 5.4 below. Proton reserves the right to suspend Merchant’s ability to make Items available for purchase by Customers through the Yesmeal App if Merchant’s account is in arrears. If you are paid for an Item, you are responsible for the Fee even if a Delivery Partner is unable to complete the delivery of such Item. Except as may be expressly agreed in this Agreement, each party will be responsible for its expenses and costs during its performance under this Agreement.
6.2 Retail Prices; Taxes; Other Fees; Pricing.
Merchant is responsible for determining and setting the retail price for each Item to be made available for sale via the Yesmeal App (“Retail Price“). Merchant is the “retailer” or “seller” of all Items and is solely responsible for the collection and remittance of all applicable Sales Taxes and other fees. The term “Sales Tax” includes any sales, sellers use, transaction privilege, privilege, general excise, gross receipts, Item taxes and similar transaction taxes. For the sake of clarity, the Retail Price for each Item excludes Sales Tax or any other fees. Merchant is solely responsible for determining all applicable Sales Tax and other fees and identifying and informing Proton of the appropriate Sales Tax and other fee amount for Proton to charge Customers on Merchant’s behalf for Items available on the Yesmeal App. To the extent that applicable Sales Tax and other fees are not determined by Merchant, Merchant expressly authorizes Proton to make such determination on its behalf and Merchant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Proton will have no liability for the accuracy of any such determination. Further, Merchant expressly authorizes Proton, at Merchant’s direction, to collect such Sales Taxes and other fees on Merchant’s behalf. “Marketplace Facilitator” laws may require Proton to collect and remit Sales Taxes directly to the taxing authority. In jurisdictions with Marketplace Facilitator laws in effect (each a “Marketplace Facilitator Jurisdiction” beginning the effective date of such legislation), Proton may determine, as of a date specified by Proton, the amount of applicable Sales Tax which Proton will collect and remit to the taxing authority based on Item descriptions provided by Merchant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, Merchant may not make any Item available to Customers through the Yesmeal App at a price that is higher than the price that Merchant charges in-store for similar Items. Merchant agrees that you will not make an Item available under this Agreement at a price higher than the amount Merchant is charging for similar Items through any comparable platform for food delivery services.
6.3 Appointment of Limited Payment Collection Agent.
Merchant is solely responsible for providing Proton with, and maintaining, accurate bank account information. Merchant hereby appoints Proton and its affiliates, as the case may be, as Merchant’s limited payment collection agent solely for the purpose of: (i) accepting payment of the Retail Price of Items sold by Merchant via the Yesmeal App plus any applicable Sales Tax and other fees collected on Merchant’s behalf, via the payment processing functionality facilitated by the Proton Tools, (ii) adjusting Sales Tax and other fees charged if determined by Proton to be necessary in accordance with state and local compliance obligations of Merchants, and (iii) remitting the Item Revenue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in Marketplace Facilitator Jurisdictions, Proton may collect and remit Sales Tax directly to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law. Further, Merchant agrees that payment collected on its behalf by Proton or its affiliates will be considered the same as payment made directly to Merchant. Merchant agrees that if Merchant does not receive payment from Proton or its affiliates, Merchant’s only recourse will be against Proton and its affiliates. Proton and its affiliates may, from time to time, request information from Merchant to confirm Merchant’s identity as may be necessary under any applicable compliance obligations before remitting any amounts to Merchant and may refuse to process amounts owed to Merchant if there exists a legal or regulatory risk or potential breach of law or regulation associated with such remittance to Merchant. Merchant agrees that Proton and its affiliates may describe or otherwise reflect the terms of this Section, and any related portions of the applicable Order Form or the Agreement, in any terms of use, receipts, disclosures, or notices that may be deemed necessary or prudent. If reasonable, Proton may adjust the remittance of Item Revenue collected on Merchant’s behalf for reasons including failure to fulfill an Item as ordered or making a correction on an Item. Merchant may identify any disagreements in connection with such adjustments through the Proton Tools. Proton and its affiliates reserve the right to collect any amounts in connection with such adjustments via a deduction from the remittance of Item Revenue collected on Merchant’s behalf, by debiting the payment method or Merchant’s bank account on record, or otherwise seeking reimbursement from Merchant by any lawful collection methods available. Merchant authorizes Proton and its affiliates to use any or all of the above methods to seek such adjustments and reimbursements. In more serious situations, such as fraud (including any charges for Items that Customers did not place) or Customer complaints, Proton and its affiliates reserve the right to cancel a payment entirely. By agreeing to these terms, Merchant gives Proton and its affiliates express consent to adjust payments collected on Merchant’s behalf as set forth in this Section.
7.REPORTING.
Proton may provide Merchant aggregate information regarding the number of Items picked up by Delivery Partners and sold by Merchant to Customers pursuant to an Order Form. Proton will also provide reasonable information regarding any refunds given to Customers, including the date of the transaction, the Item ordered, the reason for the refund and any other information Proton is permitted to provide under applicable privacy laws and terms with Customers. To the extent applicable, Merchant agrees that Proton may share Merchant’s transactional data regarding ordered meals, including sales data, with Merchant’s parent company.
8.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
8.1 License to Marks; Restrictions.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party hereby grants to the other party (and, in the case of Company, to its affiliates) a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license during the Term to use the such party’s respective Marks (as defined below), on a royalty-free basis, for the sole purpose of performing the promotional activities as set forth in an applicable Order Form. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Marks” will mean the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, logos, slogans and other identifying symbols and indicia of the applicable party. All uses of a party’s marks by the other party will be in the form and format specified or approved by the owner of such marks. Other than as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither party will use the other party’s marks without the prior, express, written consent of the other party (by email is sufficient). All goodwill related to the use of a party’s marks by the other party shall inure to the benefit of the owner of such marks. Except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall be deemed to grant the other party any license or rights under any intellectual property or other proprietary rights. All rights not granted are expressly reserved.
8.2 No Development.
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THERE SHALL BE NO DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY, CONTENT, MEDIA OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BY EITHER PARTY FOR THE OTHER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. Any development activities relating to any technology, content, media or other intellectual property must be the subject of a separate written agreement between Yesmeal and Company prior to the commencement of any such activities.
8.3 Marketing.
Merchant may provide videos, still image or other materials to Proton or its affiliates (“Merchant Marketing Materials”) for use in connection with the display of Merchant’s Items on the Yesmeal App or the marketing and promotion of Yesmeal and the availability of your Items via the Yesmeal App. Merchant hereby grants Proton and its affiliates a non-exclusive, perpetual, fully paid-up and royalty free license to use and display such Merchant Marketing Materials in connection with Merchant’s Items and other promotional activities relating to the Proton Services. Without limiting anything in the Agreement, Merchant represents and warrants that the Merchant Marketing Materials do not infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights. To the extent that the Merchant Marketing Materials contain any third party materials, Merchant is solely responsible for and will secure any and all rights, licenses, consents and permissions necessary for Proton to be able to use the Merchant Marketing Materials in accordance with this Section. Merchant agrees that Proton or its affiliates may remove Merchant Marketing Materials from the Yesmeal App if Proton or its affiliates receive notice or otherwise reasonably believe that such Merchant Marketing Materials may infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any intellectual property or other proprietary rights.
