Thrive provides online ordering services by entering into contractual arrangements with restaurant partners (“Partner Restaurants”) on a principal-to-principal basis for the purpose of listing their menu items for online ordering by the Users on the Platform.
The Users can access the menu items on the Platform and place online orders against the Partner Restaurant(s) through the Platform.
Your request to order food and beverages from a Partner Restaurant on the Platform shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable authorization issued in favour of Thrive to place online orders for food and beverages or products against the Partner Restaurant(s) on your behalf.
Although you are able to place orders through the Platform, Thrive itself does not sell the products contained in your order, has no control over the quality or safety of the products and is not a party to any such transaction. Your order is between you and the Partner Restaurant from which you order. In addition, Partner Restaurants may state ingredients or represent allergen or food preparation standards on the Ordering Platform, such as food or beverages being nut-free, gluten-free, lactose-free or organic. We do not investigate or verify the menus, ingredients, food preparation standards, or any descriptions, statements, or representations made by the Partner Restaurants. Therefore, if you or anyone else who will be consuming any item from an order has any food allergies or specific preparation requirements, you are strongly advised to contact the Partner Restaurant directly to address your specific needs. By using the Services, you agree that you understand that Thrive is not responsible for any statements or omissions concerning the products contained in your order. Thrive shall not be liable for any acts or omissions on part of the Partner Restaurant including but not limited to, deficiency in service, wrong delivery of order / order mismatch, quality, incorrect pricing, deficient quantity, time taken to prepare and deliver the order, provided that such acts or omissions are solely attributable to the Partner Restaurants.
The Platform(s), Services and/or the Content may contain technical inaccuracies, typographical errors, or omissions, including with respect to allergy information and/or food preparation standards. We are not responsible for any such typographical, technical, pricing, or other errors listed on or omitted from the Platform(s), Services and/or the Content, for reasons attributable to the Partner Restaurants. The Platform(s), Services and the Content contain information of our Partner Restaurants’ products, not all of which are available in every location. A reference to a product on the Ordering Platform or in the Content does not imply that such product is or will be available in your location. We reserve the right to make changes, corrections, and/or improvements to the Platform(s) and/or Services and the Content at any time without notice.
We reserve the right to cancel or modify an order where it appears that a User has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances, where it appears that the order contains or resulted from a mistake or error. In addition, we reserve the right to report any fraudulent or inappropriate conduct to appropriate authorities at our discretion.
Partner Restaurants using the Services do not deliver to every location. If the Partner Restaurant currently does not deliver to your area, but you would like it to, please let them know.
Delivery of an order placed by you through the Platform may either be undertaken directly by the Partner Restaurant against whom you have placed an order, or facilitated by Thrive through a third-party who may be available to provide delivery services to you (“Delivery Partners”). In both these cases, Thrive is merely acting as an intermediary between you and the Delivery Partners, or you and the Partner Restaurant, as the case may be.
The acceptance by a Delivery Partner of undertaking delivery of your order shall constitute a contract of service under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 or any successor legislations, between you and the Delivery Partner, to which Thrive is not a party under any applicable law. It is clarified that Thrive does not provide any delivery or logistics services and only enables the delivery of food and beverages or Products ordered by the Users through the Platform by connecting the Users with the Delivery Partners or the Partner Restaurants, as the case may be.
We will only be responsible for initiating a refund to the User as per limits prescribed in our refund policy in the following events: (a) order is not delivered to the User or some order items are missing, due to reasons pertaining solely to the Delivery Partner; and/or (b) the order has been damaged solely because of the acts or omissions of the Delivery Partner.
We will not be responsible if the Delivery Partner indulges in theft of the order or indulges in any illegal activity or misconduct against/with the User(s) or indulges in any vandalism activity against the User.
You may be charged a delivery fee for delivery of your order by the Delivery Partner or the Partner Restaurant, as the Delivery Partner or the Partner Restaurant may determine (“Delivery Charges"). You agree that Thrive is authorized to collect, on behalf of the Partner Restaurant or the Delivery Partner the Delivery Charges for the delivery service provided by the Partner Restaurant or the Delivery Partner, as the case may be. The Delivery Charges may vary from order to order, which may be determined on multiple factors which shall include but not be limited to Partner Restaurant, order value, distance, time of the day. Thrive will inform you of the Delivery Charges that may apply to you, provided you will be responsible for Delivery Charges incurred for your order regardless of your awareness of such Delivery Charges.
In addition to the Delivery Charges, you may also be charged an amount towards delivery surge for delivery of your order facilitated by the Delivery Partner or the Partner Restaurant, which is determined on the basis of various factors including but not limited to distance covered, time taken, demand for delivery, real time analysis of traffic and weather conditions, seasonal peaks or such other parameters as may be determined from time to time (“Delivery Surge").Â
The price of any meals will be listed on our Ordering Platform and defined by the Partner Restaurants. Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which you have been presented with the confirmation message, save in the case of an obvious pricing mistake, whereby the Partner Restaurant will notify you as soon as they can about the pricing issue. The relevant Partner Restaurant will normally verify prices as part of the order process.
You may pay for orders via the Ordering Platform or direct to the Partner Restaurants using cash or credit/debit card on Delivery options. You agree that Thrive may immediately authorize your credit card (or other approved facility) for payment for any order made under your account.
If you have a question about a transaction on your credit card statement, please use the “Contact Us” section of the website to contact customer service.
