3. How it works

  • You may order Food via the App. At the time of ordering, you are required to indicate your address, and then you will be given a selection of Restaurants. You will only be allowed to order Food from that selection of Restaurants, which fall within the prescribed area (as determined by MrD Food from time to time) surrounding your given address.
  • Where you have ordered using the App, you may be given the choice of receiving the Food by means of courier, which delivery service shall be carried out either (i) by MrD Food or its nominee, or (ii) by a driver whom you mandate to deliver Food on our cloud platform ("Cloud Driver") (items (i) and (ii) collectively referred to as the "Courier Delivery"), or by means of self-collection by you or your nominee from the relevant Restaurant ("Self-collection"). Where no choice is given for a Courier Delivery, you will be able to order Food on the App for Self-collection. 
  • We will indicate on the relevant product and checkout pages in the App which Food items are for sale by a particular Restaurant. You can only order Food from one Restaurant at a time, in each order that you place.
  • You can only place orders for Food from a Restaurant provided that it is open for business and active on the App. You may only place orders for liquor products during the hours permitted by law.We may at any time suspend or terminate the availability of a Restaurant, menu or menu item on the App, in our sole discretion.
  • You acknowledge that, notwithstanding that the Food may be ordered via the App, you place such order with the relevant Restaurant. The sale of Food (formed on acceptance of an order, as set out in clause 5.2) is solely between the registered user and the relevant Restaurant. Neither MrD Food nor any party attending to the Courier Delivery (if applicable) is a party to that sale of Food. MrD Food only provides the platform to facilitate transactions between Restaurants and registered users in relation to the Food. MrD Food is neither the buyer nor the seller of the Food. Any claims the registered user may have in respect of the Food shall be against the relevant Restaurant.
  • Because we want you to have a safe and consistent experience, MrD Food will be your first point of contact for any complaints arising out of or in connection with the sale of Food between a registered user and a Restaurant. Should such complaint escalate into being a dispute, although MrD Food is entitled to become involved in an attempt to resolve it, MrD Food is not obliged to do so and any disputes must be resolved between the registered user and the relevant Restaurant.

4. Registration and use of the App

  • Only registered users may order Food via the App.
  • To register as a user via the App, you must provide MrD Food with your unique email address or telephone number, personal details and any other relevant information required. You will thereafter be requested to select your own password or be issued a randomly generated password (which you may subsequently change).
  • You will need to use your unique username and password to place an order via the App. You agree that a MrD Food operator may call you to confirm your personal details, order information and amount owed. For security purposes you agree to enter your correct username and password whenever ordering Food via the App, failing which we will not process your order.
  • You agree and warrant that your username and password (if applicable) shall:
    • not be disclosed by you to any third party.
  • You agree that, once your correct username and password have been entered (in relation to the App), irrespective of whether the use of the username and/or password is unauthorized or fraudulent, you will be liable for payment of any resulting order.
  • You agree to notify MrD Food immediately upon becoming aware of or reasonably suspecting any unauthorised access to or use of your username and/or password and to take steps to minimise any resultant loss or harm.
  • You agree that you will not in any way use any device, software or other instrument to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the App. You may use the App only for lawful purposes and may not in any way (including without limitation by use of any robot, spider, other automatic device or manual process) monitor, distribute, display, publish, copy, print, post, modify or otherwise use the App and/or the information contained therein without the express prior written consent of an authorised MrD Food representative.

5. Conclusion of Sales and availability of Food

  • Registered users may place orders for Food, which the Restaurant and/or MrD Food may accept or reject. The placing of an order will happen when payment is made by any of the acceptable payment methods in 8.3 and is confirmed on the App. Whether or not the Restaurant and/or MrD Food accepts an order depends on various factors, including but not limited to, the availability of Food, capacity for Courier Delivery, correctness of the information relating to the Food (such as the price) and receipt of payment or payment authorisation (if applicable) by MrD Food for the Food.
  • MrD Food charges each restaurant a commission based on the value of the food ordered on the App. Menu pricing on the App is set at the discretion of each Restaurant and may differ to the in-store menu pricing or prices on other Apps
  • NOTE: MrD Food will indicate the acceptance of your order (by MrD Food and the Restaurant) by way of notification on the App or email ("Acceptance Notice"), and only at that point will agreements of sale (the "Sale") come into effect between you and:
    • the Restaurant in respect of the Food; and
    • if applicable, MrD Food in respect of the Courier Delivery services (if you requested Courier Delivery of the Food).
    This is regardless of any earlier communication from the Restaurant and/or MrD Food stating that your order or payment has been confirmed. MrD Food will indicate the rejection of your order by cancelling it, notifying you thereof and credit your Credit Wallet, for the amount you already paid. You can then use this credit either immediately or at a later date when you place your next order with MrD. Should you wish to have a refund, please refer to the FAQ section.
  • Prior to the Food being delivered to your nominated address or you being notified that the Food is ready for collection (as applicable), we may reject an order or cancel a Sale at any time due to: (i) the Restaurant being unable to fulfil the order; (ii) Courier Delivery services not being readily available (if applicable); and/or (iii) any other reason in MrD Food’s sole discretion.
  • Should you wish to retract your order, you should contact MrD Food via telephone immediately, and  MrD Food will use its reasonable endeavours to effect such retraction. You will not be able to retract your order via the App, or after an Acceptance Notice has been generated. You will not be able to change your order after placing it, but may be able to retract it (subject to the above), and place a new one.
  • Placing Food in your shopping basket on the App without completing the purchase cycle does not constitute an order for Food, and as such, Food may be removed from the shopping basket if stock is no longer available or the price thereof might change without notice to you. You cannot hold MrD Food and/or the Restaurant liable if such Food is not available or is not available at a particular price when you complete or attempt to complete the purchase cycle at a later stage.
  • MrD Food relies on information supplied to it by the Restaurants relating to the Food, and MrD Food accordingly bears no liability for any inaccuracies in such information supplied to it. You acknowledge that stock of all Food on offer may be limited. MrD Food will take reasonable efforts to ensure that when Food is no longer available, offers thereof are discontinued on the App. However, we cannot guarantee the availability of Food. When Food is no longer available after you have placed an order or the Restaurant does not accept your order, MrD Food will notify you thereof and reject your order or cancel the Sale ("Failed Order"). 
    MrD will credit your Credit Wallet for the amount you paid in respect of the Failed Order. You can use this credit either immediately or at a later date when you place your next order with MrD.
    Should you wish to have a refund of the amount in your Credit Wallet, please refer to the FAQ.
  • You also acknowledge that the pricing of Food may change at any time without notice to you, but no price change will affect any Food ordered in respect of which you have received an Acceptance Notice, except in the case of an obvious pricing error.In the event of an obvious pricing error, we may reject your order or cancel the Sale at any time and you will be entitled to a refund of the amount paid by you for such order.
  • Any dispute regarding inaccurate information relating to a Restaurant or Food, Food pricing errors or sold-out Food should be resolved between you and the relevant Restaurant; your respective rights and obligations being as set out in these Terms and Conditions.
  • It is your responsibility to establish from the relevant Restaurant which ingredients will be used when preparing the Food and make the necessary arrangements with such Restaurant to exclude any ingredients if you have any allergies or special requirements (unless such exclusions can be made by you on the App). We cannot and do not guarantee that the Food will be free of allergens and we disclaim any liability relating to any ingredients or allergens contained in Food.
  • In order to make use of MrD Food’s Courier Delivery services to deliver prescriptions and medication ordered from your Checkers MediRite pharmacy (“MediRite”), please refer to the FAQ section for the steps to be followed. In  respect of a MediRite order, you warrant that you are the authorized person to receive the prescribed medicine to which your MediRite order relates

If you are under the age of 18 or if you are not legally permitted to enter into a binding agreement, then you may use the App only with the involvement and supervision of your parent or legal guardian. If your parent or legal guardian supervises you and gives his/her consent, then he/she agrees to be bound to these Terms and Conditions and to be liable and responsible for you and all your obligations under these Terms and Conditions.
  • Restaurants may not sell liquor or vaping products to you if you are under the age of 18 (regardless of any supervision by a parent or guardian). You may be requested to provide proof of your age before receiving any liquor or vaping products ordered via the App. The Courier Delivery or Self-collection of any liquor or vaping products may be refused and you will be held liable for all charges relating to such order, should you fail to provide adequate proof that you are 18 years of age or older, or if you appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of delivery or collection of such products.

If someone sends you a SnackMe Gift Request and you elect to send that person a SnackMe Gift, you then become a Sender and the person you gift becomes a Receiver for the purposes of these terms and conditions. If you are a Receiver of a SnackMe Gift, you consent to Mr D Food displaying your name on the SnackMe Gift homepage on the App of a Sender who has previously sent you a SnackMe Gift which you have accepted, to allow this Sender to regift you. If you are a Sender or a Receiver of a SnackMe Gift, you consent to your name being displayed in the live SnackMe Gift feed which will appear on the Mr D Food App and will be visible to other active App users when you send or accept a SnackMe Gift. Your name will be visible as a default option and you are able to change the visibility settings by using the SnackMe “Gifting Privacy” toggle in the App Settings, at any time. All personal information will be treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy, Part D.
  • Gift requests: you may request a SnackMe Gift from anyone on your mobile phone contact list. A SnackMe Gift Request link will be created and you can share this Gift Request link via any compatible third party sharing platform installed on your mobile device by selecting one in the popup menu. If the recipient of the Gift Request is an existing Mr D Food customer, the link will take them directly to the SnackMe Gift window on the App. Where the recipient of a Gift request is a new customer, the link will take them to the App store to download the Mr D Food App. You are not obligated to send a SnackMe Gift if you receive a SnackMe Gift request message. 
  • Gift acceptance: The SnackMe Gift is linked to the cell phone number of the Receiver and the Sender must ensure that the correct cell phone number is used. The Receiver may only accept the SnackMe Gift using the cell phone number specified by the Sender.  The SnackMe Gift is not transferable and may not be exchanged for cash. For Receivers who are existing Mr D Food customers the SnackMe Gift will be delivered to the Receiver via email, in App message and/or App push notification. For Receivers who are new customers, a link will be sent to the Receiver’s cell phone number (as supplied by the Sender) via SMS and the SnackMe Gift can be redeemed via the App.
  • Gift values: SnackMe Gifts can be applied to any item available for sale on the App. Minimum and maximum SnackMe Gift values will be set at the point of purchase and may be amended from time to time.  SnackMe Gifts may not be used to buy other SnackMe Gifts or Mr D Food vouchers and cannot be exchanged or refunded for cash or credit. However, if you use a SnackMe Gift and your order is rejected by the Restaurant or your sale is cancelled by Mr D Food, the value will be credited back to the SnackMe Gift. Where a SnackMe Gift is used and the order is accepted by the Restaurant, but the delivery could not be made due to courier failure, the order will be cancelled and the value credited to the Mr D Food wallet of the Receiver. Should you not be satisfied with your order, the terms and conditions in Part A, which relates to refunds, will apply.  Should you receive more than one SnackMe Gift, the SnackMe Gift values will not accumulate and will appear as individual SnackMe Gifts on the SnackMe Gift section of the App. 
  • SnackMe Gift use: SnackMe Gifts will not be automatically applied to an order and you will have to select to apply a SnackMe Gift to a particular order. Only one SnackMe Gift can be applied per order. A SnackMe Gift may be cancelled by the Sender (at any time before it is accepted by the Receiver), and the value will be refunded and credited to the Mr D Food wallet of the Sender. Where the order value is less than the SnackMe Gift value, and the SnackMe Gift is partially used by the Receiver, the remaining balance will remain available on that specific SnackMe Gift. Where an order exceeds the SnackMe Gift value, the balance must be paid by the Receiver using any of the standard payment methods available on the App
  • Risk:  Your participation in the SnackMe Gift  initiative  is solely at your risk. Mr D Food is not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of a SnackMe Gift or request. In the event a SnackMe Gift (or Gift request) SMS is deleted or is sent and the Receiver’s cell phone is lost and/or stolen with the SnackMe Gift (or Gift request), neither Mr D Food nor any of its agents will be liable for any reimbursement of any nature, whatsoever. Mr D Food will not be held responsible for any cellular network service operator's delay in sending or retracting the SnackMe Gift.     Mr D Food will not be held responsible for the Sender  or Requester entering the incorrect cell phone number of the Receiver, or any loss, including where the SnackMe Gift is accepted and used by someone other than the intended Receiver. The Sender or Requester warrants that they have obtained the cell phone number of the Receiver lawfully and are lawfully entitled to make contact with the Receiver. SnackMe Gifts may not be used for any illegal transactions. It is your responsibility to determine whether a transaction is legal or not. Misuse of the SnackMe Gift may constitute fraud and may lead to prosecution.

  • Cancellation/ Suspension of SnackMe Gifts: : Mr D Food reserves the right to suspend or terminate the SnackMe Gift initiative, or to change the Terms and Conditions at any time.
  • SnackMe Gift profile name and personal SnackMe Gift message: Your SnackMe Gift profile name or SnackMe Gift message may not: (i) contain any foul language, obscenities, defamation, hate speech, discrimination or derogatory comments on the basis of political belief  or any otherwise inappropriate content (determined in our sole discretion) that may bring Mr D Food or bring any of its brands in disrepute; nor (ii) contain any content which may be harmful to Mr D Food or its associated companies in any way; nor (iii) infringe the intellectual property or other rights of Mr D Food or any of its brands, its associated companies or any third party; nor (iv) contain private or confidential information or such information which violates someone else's rights. We reserve the right to reject your SnackMe Gift profile name and/ or to decline the processing of a gift which we deem to be in contravention of our Terms and Conditions.

     

Part H: Advertising

32. Code of advertising practice

MrD is an inclusive brand which strives to represent a culturally rich and diverse nation. All imagery and communication published or associated with MrD must align with the company’s values.
  • This advertising code sets out our commitment to all commercial advertising on the MrD website and associated apps, to ensure that all such advertisements are lawful, honest, decent, truthful and transparent. Adherence to this code ensures MrD remains a trusted brand and a responsible corporate citizen.
  • For purposes of this code
    "commercial advertising" means all forms of paid-for advertising on the MrD website and associated apps, which includes advertising display banners, carousels, pop-ups, and boosted search result product listings like sponsored ads; and "advertiser" means the entity at whose instance the advertising appears, depending on the circumstances it may be MrD or any other third party (for instance an outlet or restaurant trading on the platform).
  • Commitment to lawful advertising
    Advertisers must ensure that the commercial advertisements on the website should be in full compliance with all applicable legislation and regulations.
  • Commitment to honest advertising
    Advertisers must ensure that commercial advertisements should not, when considered in context, be so framed as to abuse the trust of the consumer or exploit their lack of experience, knowledge or credulity.
  • Commitment to decent advertising
    Advertisers must ensure that commercial advertisements should not when considered in context, contain any foul language, obscenities, defamation, hate speech or derogatory comments.
  • Commercial advertising should not, when considered in context, contain anything that might lead or lend support to acts of violence or criminal activity, nor should they appear to condone such acts.
  • Commercial advertising should not, when considered in context, contain any negative gender stereotyping or negative gender portrayal.
  • Commitment to truthful advertising
    Before commercial advertising is published, advertisers must hold in their possession sufficient documentary evidence to support all claims, whether direct or implied, that are capable of objective substantiation.
  • Commitment to transparent advertising
    When our customers search for products on our platform, any paid-for boosted search result product listings that appear with the organic search results should be marked as a "sponsored" product listing. Transparency ensures that our customers are aware that these search results have been paid for by advertisers.
If you do not think Mr D, or any advertiser on the Mr D website, is adhering to our commercial advertising commitments, please let us know by emailing advertising@mrd.com.
