When you place an Order that is accepted by the Partner, a legal contract for the supply and purchase of Products is created between you and the relevant Partner that you place your Order with; we will conclude the sale of Products on behalf of, and as agent for, the Partners in all cases. Whilst these Terms will determine the terms of such contract for the sale of Products, we are not party to such contract for the supply by the Partner and purchase by you of Products supplied by the Partner.

You are also referred to paragraph 6.3 below, which explains further about how your complaints are managed.
1.3 Delivery Services: The Partners on our Website provide their own delivery service in order to bring the Product(s) you order to you, if delivery is a service you require.

4.1. Your Order: Please select the Products you wish to order from the menu of your selected Partner and provide the information requested, including delivery or collection details and collection or delivery. You will be asked to press or click “add to Basket” or similar button for the relevant selected Products. After selecting the appropriate payment method, you will be asked to confirm payment.

However, if you need to cancel, edit, or rearrange your Order you should contact Parknic directly by email to via the Contact Us page as soon as possible and we will endeavour to contact the Partner to arrange a refund or arrange for another time for the Products to be collected. If you wish to cancel the Order less than 48 hours prior to delivery or collection, it is unlikely that a refund will be possible as the costs of ingredients and preparation of the Order may have started or been incurred. We cannot in any event guarantee that any request to cancel or change an Order will be agreed by the relevant Partner, regardless of how much notice is given.
4.4. Processing your Order and Partner rejections: On receipt of your payment, the relevant Partner will be notified, and we will notify you by email when your Order has been accepted by the Partner. We endeavour to ensure that our Partners refresh the Product information (availability and delivery or collection information) regularly (so that Orders placed are based on accurate information) but there will be times where Orders cannot be fulfilled. We ask our Partners to accept all Orders and communicate any rejection promptly, and we or the Partner will notify you (generally by email but by other means if appropriate) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Partner rejects your Order. However, Partners may reject Orders at any time because for any reason they are unable to fulfil the Order, for example, because of supply chain or staffing issues or any other circumstances that hinders fulfilment. In doing so, any payment made in respect of the Order will be returned to you in accordance with paragraph 5.5 below. If payment has been processed and paid to Partner, we may try to facilitate the return by the Partner of the payment to you if your Order cannot be fulfilled, but we are not responsible if the Partner fails to return the payment. Your contract is with the Partner.
4.5. Payment authorisation: Where any payment you make is not authorised, your Order will not be processed or communicated to the relevant Partner.
4.6. Delivery of your Order: Our Partner is responsible for enabling collection or procuring delivery of your Order, and we are not responsibility for collection or delivery of your Order. We have no control over the collection or delivery process, other than to communicate the relevant times for collection or delivery via the Website with information given to us by the Partner. Estimated times for deliveries and collections that are provided by us (via the Website or otherwise) or the Partner are only estimates. Whilst the Partner will use reasonable efforts to meet a collection or delivery time that is confirmed by us or the Partner, neither we nor the Partner guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times. If you select to have your Order delivered, you confirm that you or someone on your behalf will be present at the delivery address stated in the Order. The Partner will decide whether to leave the Order outside the delivery address if you are not present.

5.4. Discount vouchers: We may from time to time allow discount vouchers for specified Partners as stated on the Website. A discount may apply to your Order if you use the appropriate promotional voucher or code recognised by the Website and approved by Parknic, and you pay for any balance by credit or debit card. The discount will be taken away from the overall cost of the menu selected, but excludes the fees paid to Parknic and any delivery costs if applicable.
5.5. Orders rejected by Partner: When you submit an Order and pay by credit or with debit card and your payment has been authorised, your bank or card issuer may "ring-fence" the full amount of your Order. If your Order is then rejected by the Partner (as described in paragraph 4.4 above) or cancelled for any other reason prior to acceptance, in such event, your bank or card issuer may not transfer the funds for the Order to us, and may instead release the relevant amount back into your available balance. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the relevant Partner will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account. In any event, Parknic will refund any payment not ring fenced and returned as described above if your Order is rejected by the Partner before acceptance.
6. MANAGING YOUR ORDER
6.1. General: If you have any issues or questions about your Order or if it is taking longer than expected, you can contact Parknic by clicking or selecting the "Contact us" option on the website. Alternatively, please contact the Partner supplying your service through their contact details listed on their Partners homepage through the Parknic system, We will attempt to contact the Partner in order to deal with your questions.

You may also contact us as described above and we will attempt to contact the Partner in order to tell them of your requests. However, we may not be able to reach the Partner and in any event cannot guarantee that the Partner will agree to your requests. The Partner has a binding contract with you to supply the Order so may refuse any request, for example, where they have prepared your Order.
6.3. Complaints: If you are dissatisfied with the quality of any Products or the service provided by a Partner, you should contact the Partner directly with your complaint. Please note, however, that the legal contract for the supply and purchase of Products is between you and the Partner that you place your Order with. We have no control over Partners and the quality of the Products or service that they provide, and we are not able to provide, and have no responsibility or liability for providing any refund or other compensation to you on behalf of any Partner. Whilst Partner is responsible for any quality issues, we would like to hear from you with any feedback or complaints so we can be informed as to the level of service you are receiving and can take any action, we think necessary.
