PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS (THIS “AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SITE. THE SITE PROVIDES AN ONLINE MARKETPLACE, WHERE USERS OF THE SITE (“USERS”/“YOU”) MAY PURCHASE GOODS OR SERVICES (“PRODUCTS”) OR VOUCHERS (AS DEFINED BELOW) FROM THIRD PARTY MERCHANTS (“SELLERS”). BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY IT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE. CHEFSQUARE RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THIS AGREEMENT FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ANY UPDATED OR AMENDED AGREEMENT WILL APPLY TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE FROM THE EARLIER OF THE DATE ON WHICH THE NEW AGREEMENT IS PUBLISHED ON THE SITE, AND/OR WHEN IT IS FIRST COMMUNICATED TO YOU.

1.1 You represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you possess the legal right and ability to enter into a legally binding agreement with ChefSquare and/or a Seller with respect to any Product or Voucher purchased on the Site; and (c) you will use the Site in accordance with this Agreement.
  1. OUR RELATIONSHIP
2.1 ChefSquare provides a Site whereby you, the User, may purchase Products and Vouchers from Sellers via the Site. Users purchase Products and Vouchers from Sellers and not from ChefSquare. In this transaction, ChefSquare simply acts as a limited agent for the Seller and the User, for the following purposes only: (a) facilitating the purchase of a Product or Voucher by a User; (b) collecting payment from the User and then remitting the payment to the Seller (less any fees charged to the Seller by ChefSquare); and (c) providing the Support Services (as described below) in respect of issues arising between a User and a Seller, in relation to the supply of Products and Vouchers. 2.2 Subject to clause 9.3, when a Product or Voucher is purchased via the Site, the User and the Seller will at that time form a legally binding agreement between each other on the terms of sale of the relevant Seller from whom you, as a User, purchased the Product/Voucher ( “Seller Terms”). In circumstances where you purchase Products or Vouchers from more than one Seller, you will form a legally binding agreement with each Seller in relation to the relevant Product or Voucher. Each such agreement is mutually exclusive. These agreements will be formed when you confirm your purchase of the relevant Products or Vouchers in your shopping cart. 2.3 A copy of the Seller Terms will be posted on the relevant listing page for each Product or Voucher you purchase or on the relevant Seller profile page. The Seller Terms will also incorporate any terms which are implied by law in relation to the supply of Products or Vouchers (but only to the extent that such implied terms are not expressly and lawfully excluded by the Seller). 2.4 ChefSquare is not a party to the Seller Terms, and ChefSquare’s only obligations in relation to that agreement are as set out in this Agreement. ChefSquare is not responsible for the User’s or Seller’s performance of their obligations under the Seller Terms. ChefSquare may, however, exercise any of the Seller’s rights arising under the Seller Terms for the benefit of ChefSquare and/or the relevant Seller. 2.5 You agree to release and forever discharge ChefSquare from any and all claims, actions, demands or proceedings, which you may make, institute or claim, in relation to: (a) the Seller Terms, and all matters relating to the Seller Terms; (b) any Products or Vouchers supplied to you under the Seller Terms; and (c) the performance of the Seller Terms, or failure to perform any obligation under the Seller Terms, by the Seller. 2.6 By purchasing a Product or Voucher via the Site, you agree that you are bound by the terms of the Seller Terms.

ChefSquare has no liability whatsoever to you for any failure to supply, or defect in the supply, of the relevant goods or services which you purchase with the Voucher. 8.5 ChefSquare is not liable or responsible for any loss suffered as a result of a Voucher not being received due to an email being blocked by a firewall or spam filter or where the incorrect address (including email address) was furnished. Additionally, ChefSquare and/or the Seller are not liable for any lost, damaged or stolen Voucher. 8.6 A Voucher cannot be sold or redeemed for cash or traded and all Vouchers are deemed void after the expiration date that was provided on the Site in relation to the Voucher and will not be honoured by the Seller (or other third party) after the expiration date.

Where a Seller rejects your order, we will refund you the purchase price for the order and associated delivery charges. Where a Seller accepts your order, you will receive confirmation that your order has been accepted by the Seller via email. 9.4 The price of Products and Vouchers on the Site are as set by the individual Sellers and not ChefSquare. Prices may change at any time, with or without notice. Except as provided in clause 11, all prices include GST but do not include delivery costs which, if applicable, will be additional. 9.5 Your order will not be processed until payment is received by ChefSquare in full for the Products and/or Vouchers you have ordered (including the purchase price, delivery fees, and any other applicable fees and charges). Once received, you agree that the payment will then become the property of ChefSquare. We will then remit an amount equal to the payment to the relevant Seller (or Sellers), less any applicable fees and charges of ChefSquare, as charged to the Sellers. 9.6 Once you have placed an order for Products and/or Vouchers, you cannot cancel or change your order, unless: (i) ChefSquare is required by law, or by agreements with its payment providers (such as PayPal) to permit such cancellation or change; or (ii) a provision of this Agreement expressly permits such cancellation or change; or (iii) the Seller Terms permits such cancellation or change.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ChefSquare will not be liable to Users for any other loss, such as any additional costs associated with the User purchasing any Products/Vouchers that are not supplied, from another retailer at a higher price. 9.8 The Seller, and not ChefSquare, is responsible for the delivery and supply of the Products and Vouchers to you and the Sellers will set their own delivery time frames which will appear in the Seller Terms on the sales listing.

Any delivery dates specified on the Site are estimated dates only. You acknowledge that these delivery dates may vary and delays in delivery may be unavoidable. 9.9 Sellers utilise their own shipping and distribution networks and may charge different rates for shipping which will appear in the Seller Terms on the relevant listing page or, alternatively, will be separately notified to you by a Seller if: (a) you request a shipping quote on the Site ( Quote Amount), and the estimated Quote Amount is less than the delivery charges actually payable; or (b) you place an order via the Site without requesting a shipping quote, but delivery charges are in fact payable in respect of that order. 9.10 If a Seller notifies or updates you of your delivery charges in accordance with clauses 9.9(a) or 9.9(b) and you advise ChefSquare that you are unwilling or unable to proceed with an order on the basis of those delivery charges, then ChefSquare will cancel the relevant order and refund you the purchase price for that order along with any associated delivery charges that you have already paid. 9.11 The supply of Products and Vouchers are subject to the Seller having available stock.
