2. Acceptance of this Agreement
Forkfast operates an online marketplace and connection platform to (a) broker the exchange of goods and services among you and other consumers, restaurants and other businesses (“Merchants”), and independent third-party contractors who provide delivery and/or other services (“Contractors”); and (b) provide you with access to information on the Services. Forkfast’s Technology permits consumers to place orders for food and/or other goods from Merchants, either for delivery or pickup, and/or request services from Merchants. If a delivery order is made, Forkfast uses the Technology to notify Contractors (or, for certain orders, Merchants) that a delivery opportunity is available and to facilitate completion of the delivery to the consumer. If a pickup order is made, Forkfast uses the Technology to communicate with the consumer regarding the availability of the order for pickup. Forkfast is not a merchant, retailer, restaurant, grocer, delivery service, or food preparation business (except as otherwise specified in Section 6 below).
If you access any of our websites located at www.Forkfast.com , install or use the Forkfast or Caviar mobile application, install or use any other technology supplied by Forkfast (collectively, the “Technology”), access or use any information, function, feature, or service made available or enabled by Forkfast (collectively, the “Services,” which includes the Technology), click or tap a button or take similar action to signify your affirmative acceptance of this Agreement, or complete the Forkfast account registration process, you, your heirs, assigns, and successors (collectively, “you” or “your”) hereby represent and warrant that: (a) you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and any future amendments and additions to this Agreement as published from time to time at www.Forkfast.com/terms/ or through the Technology; (b) you are of legal age in the jurisdiction in which you reside to form a binding contract with Forkfast; and (c) you have the authority to enter into the Agreement personally and, if applicable, on behalf of any organization for whom you have created an account or been named as the User during the Forkfast account registration process and to bind such organization to the Agreement.
The specific Services or information available to you may vary based on the delivery or pickup address that you have selected. A certain function, feature, or Service (y) available to one User may not be available to all Users or at all times, and (z) may only be available in the latest version of the Forkfast or Caviar mobile application. “User” means any individual or other person who accesses or uses the Services with or without an account (whether directly or through tools, services, or other means), including, without limitation, any organization that registers an account or otherwise accesses or uses the Services through its respective employees, agents, or representatives. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if you do not agree to be bound by the Agreement, you may not access or use the Services.

If we make any material changes to this Agreement, we will notify you by email at the email address that you have provided to us or by another means. You should regularly review this Agreement, as your continued use of the Services after any such changes constitutes your agreement to such changes. If you do not agree to this Agreement or any modifications to this Agreement, you should immediately cease using the Technology and Services.

6. Contractors and Merchants Are Independent
(a) You understand and agree that Forkfast provides the Services to connect you with independent Merchants that provide the products and services offered through the Services, and independent third-party Contractors who provide delivery and other services. You acknowledge and agree that Forkfast is not a merchant, retailer, restaurant, grocer, pharmacy, chemist, delivery service, or food preparation business, and has no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of any Merchant or any Contractor. Merchants are the retailers of the products or services offered through the Services. Forkfast is not in the delivery business, does not provide delivery services, and is not a common carrier. Forkfast provides the Services to facilitate the transmission of orders by Users to Merchants, including orders for pickup or delivery by Contractors and/or Merchants. Any delivery, pickup, or preparation times displayed through the Services are purely estimates and do not represent a promise, commitment, or guarantee by Forkfast. Forkfast will not assess or guarantee the suitability, legality, or ability of any Contractor or Merchant. You agree that Forkfast is not responsible for Merchants’ food preparation or product offerings, food or product handling, or the safety of the food or other products, or whether the photographs, images, videos, menu or product listings, catalog, item descriptions, or other menu, product, or catalog information (including nutrition, ingredient, and/or allergen information) displayed through the Services accurately reflect the goods and services sold by Merchants and/or delivered by the Contractor and/or Merchant, and does not verify Merchants’ compliance with applicable laws or regulations. You also acknowledge and agree that menu, product, or catalog listings, descriptions, or other information (including videos, photographs, or images, or nutrition, ingredient, and/or allergen information) displayed through the Services may not have been provided directly by the Merchant and/or may have been generated or enhanced with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Forkfast has no responsibility or liability for acts or omissions by any Merchant or Contractor. You agree that the goods that you purchase will be prepared by the Merchant you have selected, that title to the goods passes from the Merchant to you at the Merchant’s location, and that, for delivery orders, the Contractor and/or Merchant will be directed by your instructions to transport the products to your designated delivery location. You agree that neither the Contractor nor Forkfast holds title to or acquires any ownership interest in any goods that you order through the Services. You must not do anything which seeks to create an encumbrance, lien, charge, or other interest in or over the goods that you order until title has passed to you.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a):
(i) United States Orders. For United States Orders placed through the Services with Forkfast Essentials, LLC (dba Forkfast or other brands), Forkfast Essentials, LLC is the Merchant and is therefore the retailer of the goods sold. Forkfast Essentials, LLC is a subsidiary of Forkfast, Inc. and is a Merchant listed on the Services.
(ii) Canada Orders. For Canada Orders placed through the Services with Rapid Retail Canada, Inc. (dba Forkfast or other brands), Rapid Retail Canada, Inc. is the Merchant and is therefore the retailer of the goods sold. Rapid Retail Canada, Inc. is an affiliate of Forkfast Technologies Canada, Inc. and is a Merchant listed on the Services.
(iii) Gift Cards. For any closed-loop gift cards, open-loop gift or other prepaid cards, and Forkfast credits sold through the Services in the United States by Forkfast Giftcards LLC, Forkfast Giftcards LLC is the Merchant and is therefore the retailer of the cards and credits sold. Forkfast Giftcards LLC is a subsidiary of Forkfast, Inc.

The Services may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”), applications (“Third-Party Applications”), and advertisements (“Third-Party Advertisements”) (collectively, “Third-Party Websites and Advertisements”). When you click or tap on a link to a Third-Party Website, Third-Party Application, or Third-Party Advertisement, Forkfast will not warn you that you have left Forkfast’s website or Services and will not warn you that you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination. Such Third-Party Websites and Advertisements are not under the control of Forkfast. Forkfast is not responsible for any Third-Party Websites and Advertisements. Forkfast provides links to these Third-Party Websites and Advertisements only as a convenience and does not review, approve, monitor, endorse, warrant, or make any representations with respect to such Third-Party Websites and Advertisements or their products or services. You use all links in Third-Party Websites and Advertisements at your own risk.

You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Technology and the Services is dependent on the third party from which you received the application license, such as the Apple or Android app store (each, an “App Store”). You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is between you and Forkfast and not with the App Store. Forkfast, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Technology and the Services, including the mobile application(s), the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (for example, product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Technology and the Services, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Technology or the Services. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Technology and the Services is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms or agreements (for example, the App Store’s terms and policies) when using the Technology or the Services. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or similar laws of other countries where applicable, or that has been designated by the United States or Canadian Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and you represent and warrant that you are not listed on any United States or Canadian Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You acknowledge and agree that each App Store (and its affiliates) is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and has the right to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
16. Transactions Involving Alcohol and Other Age-Restricted Products
You may have the option to request delivery or pickup of alcohol products in some locations and from certain Merchants. You agree that you will only order alcohol products if you, the intended recipient, and anyone who may consume the alcohol products are of legal age to purchase and consume alcohol products in the relevant jurisdiction. You also agree that, upon delivery or pickup of alcohol products, the recipient of any alcohol products will provide valid government-issued identification proving the requisite legal age and that the recipient will not be intoxicated when receiving such products. If you order alcohol products, you understand and acknowledge that the order will only be delivered if the Merchant accepts your order. The person delivering alcohol may be legally obligated to refuse delivery pursuant to applicable federal, state, provincial, or local laws, rules, or regulations, including if the recipient is not of legal age, is visibly intoxicated, or is not physically present to accept the delivery, and will be prompted to refuse delivery if the recipient cannot provide a valid government-issued identification proving requisite legal age, is visibly intoxicated, or is not physically present to accept the delivery. If the delivery of alcohol products cannot be completed for one or more of these reasons, you agree and acknowledge that your purchase is non-refundable and you or the intended recipient may not receive any part of the applicable order, including any non-alcohol items that you may have purchased with your alcohol products, and you may also be subject to a non-refundable Undeliverable Item Fee. Alcohol is not available in all locations that are served by the Forkfast platform. Alcohol may be removed from the platform for specific Users at Forkfast’s sole discretion.
You may also have the option to request delivery or pickup of other age-restricted items from certain Merchants, such as certain over-the-counter medication or other products subject to applicable federal, state, provincial, or local laws, rules, or regulations or Merchant or Forkfast policies requiring age verification. You agree that you will only order age-restricted items if you, the intended recipient, or anyone who may consume such products are of legal age to purchase the items. You also agree that, upon delivery or pickup of age-restricted items, the recipient will provide valid government-issued identification proving the requisite legal age for such age-restricted items. The person delivering age-restricted items will refuse delivery pursuant to applicable federal, state, provincial, or local laws, rules, or regulations, including if the recipient cannot provide a valid government-issued identification proving requisite legal age or is not physically present to accept the delivery. If the delivery of age-restricted items cannot be completed for one or more of these reasons, you agree and acknowledge that your purchase is non-refundable and you may not receive any part of your order, including items that are not age-restricted that you may have purchased with your age-restricted items, and you may also be subject to a non-refundable Undeliverable Item Fee.
17. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Forkfast and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, claims, actions, costs, damages, penalties, fines, and expenses, including without limitation, legal and/or attorneys’ fees and expenses, that may be incurred by an Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to, or resulting from (a) your User Content; (b) your misuse of the Technology or Services; (c) your breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty, condition, or covenant in this Agreement; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations through or related to the use of the Technology or Services. In the event of any claim, allegation, suit, or proceeding alleging any matter potentially covered by the agreements in this Section 17, you agree to pay for the defense of the Indemnified Party, including reasonable costs and legal and/or attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party. Forkfast reserves the right, at its own cost, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Forkfast in asserting any available defenses. This Section 17 does not require you to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any unconscionable commercial practice by such party, or for such party’s negligence, fraud, deception, false promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact in connection with the Technology or Services. You agree that the provisions of this Section 17 will survive any termination of your account, this Agreement, or your access to the Technology and/or Services.
18. Disclaimer of Warranties
UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW AND SOME STATES, PROVINCES, AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE EXCLUSIONS IN THIS SECTION 18 MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SECTION 18 APPLIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
YOU EXPRESSLY UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

In addition, at its sole discretion, Forkfast may modify or discontinue the Technology or Services, or may modify, suspend, or terminate your access to the Technology or the Services, for any reason, with or without notice to you and without liability to you or any third party. Where required by law, which may include in the Province of Québec, we will provide you with written notice of the suspension or termination of your access to the Technology or the Services, including of the reasons which led us to take such action. In addition to suspending or terminating your access to the Technology or the Services, Forkfast reserves the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, pursuing civil, criminal, or injunctive redress.
