These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the access or use by you, an individual, from within the United States and its territories and possessions of applications, websites, content, products, and services (the “Services”) made available in the United States and its territories and possessions by CHOWMILL INC. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “CHOWMILL”). PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICES. In this Agreement, the words “including” and “include” mean “including, but not limited to.”

Supplemental terms may apply to certain Services, such as policies for a particular event, activity or promotion, and such supplemental terms will be disclosed to you in connection with the applicable Services. Supplemental terms are in addition to, and shall be deemed a part of, the Terms for the purposes of the applicable Services. Supplemental terms shall prevail over these Terms in the event of a conflict with respect to the applicable Services.
CHOWMILL may amend the Terms related to the Services from time to time. Amendments will be effective upon CHOWMILL’s posting of such updated Terms at this location or the amended policies or supplemental terms on the applicable Service. Your continued access or use of the Services after such posting constitutes your consent to be bound by the Terms, as amended.
2. THE SERVICES
The Services constitute a technology platform that enables users of CHOWMILL’s mobile applications or websites provided as part of the Services (each, an “Application”) to arrange meal delivery services with third party restaurants through a network of independent food delivery couriers (the technology platform, and services is collectively “CHOWMILL”). Unless otherwise agreed by CHOWMILL in a separate written agreement with you, the Services are made available solely for your personal, noncommercial use.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT CHOWMILL IS MERELY A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY FACILITATING THE ORDERING AND DELIVERY OF MEALS.

FURTHERMORE, CHOWMILL HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ACTS BY ANY THIRD-PARTIES, OTHER THAN AS STATED HEREIN.
DELIVERY
CHOWMILL does not guarantee that Third Party Providers will deliver every Meal exactly within the timeframe we give you when you initiate a Transaction. In particular, in the case of inclement weather or other events beyond our control that interfere with the ability to deliver your Meal, we will attempt to deliver your Meal as soon as reasonably possible. In the event that timely delivery of your Meal is not feasible, we will cancel your Meal delivery for the period so affected and issue you a credit or refund of the purchase price for that Meal. If a Meal arrives early or late, you agree that you will still accept the Meal and release us from all liability for any loss, damage, or inconvenience that you encounter as a result of early or late delivery.

Any User Content provided by you remains your property. However, by providing User Content to CHOWMILL, you grant CHOWMILL a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferrable, royalty-free license, with the right to sublicense, to use, copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, and otherwise exploit in any manner such User Content in all formats and distribution channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the Services and CHOWMILL’s business and on third- party sites and services), without further notice to or consent from you, and without the requirement of payment to you or any other person or entity.

Your mobile network’s data and messaging rates and fees may apply if you access or use the Services from a wireless-enabled device. You are responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Services and Applications and any updates thereto.

In addition, the Services may be subject to malfunctions and delays inherent in the use of the Internet and electronic communications.
4. PAYMENT
You understand that use of the Services may result in payments by you for the services you receive from Third Party Providers (“Charges”). After you have received services obtained through your use of the Service, CHOWMILL will facilitate payment of the applicable Charges on behalf of the Third Party Provider, as such Third Party Providers’ limited payment collection agent, using the preferred payment method designated in your Account, and will send you a receipt by email. Payment of the Charges in such manner shall be considered the same as payment made directly by you to the Third Party Providers. Charges will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Charges paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by CHOWMILL.
All Charges are due immediately and payment will be facilitated by CHOWMILL using the preferred payment method designated in your Account. If your primary Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that CHOWMILL may, as the Third Party Providers’ limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your Account, if available. For invoiced sales, payment terms are net 7 days on either daily or weekly invoices, depending on the type or level of service (default is daily). A credit card may be required to place any orders that are below a certain size. The company reserves the right to charge a late fee up to 3% on any past due invoices as permitted by law. You are also acknowledging that CHOWMILL retains your payment as compensation for purchasing and transporting the food, regardless of whether you are able to pick up and consume the food within the designated time window, or if you refuse acceptance of confirmed order at the time of delivery.
CHOWMILL reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all aspects of the Services at any time in CHOWMILL’s sole discretion. CHOWMILL may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different Charges for the same or similar Services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the Services or the Charges applied to you.
5. CANCELLATION FEE
CHOWMILL allows your employees to change their orders, by canceling and re-ordering, until the cutoff time for your account, allowing them to make meal selections that best match their needs.
We understand there are occasionally last minute changes that impact your order. We allow program administrators to cancel up to 5 employee orders until the cutoff time for your account to ensure you can manage those situations. For cancellation of service on specific days, we require that program administrators inform us by 5pm 2 business (48 hours) days before the delivery date through their account managers or support at support@chowmill.com or (408) 883-9415.
CHOWMILL reserves the right to charge the full amount of orders canceled beyond the 5th canceled order (by individuals or program administrators) after 5pm, 2 business days (48 hours) before the delivery date. These charges would be payable in the next invoice or billing cycle.
6. SERVICE LIMITATIONS AND OTHER FEES
CHOWMILL’s services may only be available on certain days, or locations, based on your agreement with CHOWMILL. If availability of these services changes, CHOWMILL will communicate the changes to you in a timely manner.
CHOWMILL charges variable fees for delivery, which will be assessed based on the order size, your delivery location, or the CHOWMILL service being used. Similarly, in certain instances, CHOWMILL may require a minimum quantity of at least 5 meals to be purchased per order (which may be subject to change).
