We may require you either (i) return the item you are dissatisfied with, at your cost, unless otherwise agreed to with Goodfood; (ii) keep the item and/or (iii) provide photographic documentation of the item you are dissatisfied with. You are responsible for inspecting items upon their delivery for any damage or other issues including but not limited to the freshness of the Products you receive. Ingredients should be delivered to you in a cool and refrigerated condition, below 4°C. Although unlikely, if you have any reason to believe that a Product in your delivery is not suitable for consumption, please contact us immediately at chef@makegoodfood.ca.

Delivery

We do not currently deliver Products or provide Meal Delivery Services to every region in Canada. You can find out if we ship to your area by signing up and you will be notified once we start shipping to your specified address. Goodfood generally uses third party services for shipping and therefore all Products purchased are made pursuant to a shipping contract whereby the title to and the risk of loss of such products passes to you upon delivery of the Products to you. Following the delivery, the condition and consumption of the Products are at your own risk, and you are solely responsible for the proper and safe washing, handling, preparation, storage, cooking, use and consumption of the Products. Goodfood is not responsible or liable for any action(s) or inaction(s) of such third parties and/or its agents and shall not be liable for any delay or loss of any kind, which occurs while a shipment is in custody or control of a third party. Shipping times and dates are estimates and actual delivery times may vary due to weather conditions and other factors, some of which may be outside of our control (“Force Majeure”). If there are events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver the Products to you on your scheduled delivery day, we will attempt to deliver your Products the following day. In the event that we remain unable to deliver your Products on the day which follows your originally scheduled delivery day, we will issue you a credit for the purchase price of that order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you are responsible for the total value of your order if we are unable to complete the delivery at your confirmed address at the specified day due to reasons caused by you. We consider the Products delivered when the third-party courier service arrives, and surrenders custody of the Products in accordance with the delivery instructions you have specified in your Goodfood Account. We will presume that any individual present at the location specified in the delivery instructions is authorized to receive the delivery on your behalf. If there is no one present at the address specified in the delivery instructions we will leave the package unattended at the address you have specified. You are responsible for ensuring the completeness of the delivery instructions provided to us. You are responsible for inspecting all Products received for any damage or other issues upon their delivery to you. You are responsible for determining the freshness of the Products you receive. You should use a thermometer to confirm that the internal temperature of any meat, poultry, fish, seafood or other perishable ingredients are in cool and refrigerated condition below 4°C. Should the Products not be fresh upon their delivery to you, please let us know and we will handle the matter in accordance with our return policy.

If your order is delivered in boxes, those include insulated liners and iced gel packs that keep your ingredients cool and fresh for up to 24 hours after delivery. However, you are responsible for the Products as of the moment when the courier gives up custody of the Products in accordance with the instructions in your Goodfood Account. You are responsible for a Product degradation as a result of any events (including the passage of time) after the delivery of the Products. Please keep in mind the season and temperatures in your area at the time of delivery and plan deliveries and storage accordingly. You are responsible for the Products as of the moment the courier delivers the Products to the address indicated on your order. Please make sure there is someone to attend to the deliveries and store the Product accordingly, upon delivery.

Upon reception and following inspection of any delivered Products, you must immediately refrigerate all perishable items and are responsible for following refrigeration, food safety, safe food handling instructions and food consumption recommendations from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Québec (MAPAQ) (or in Ontario, Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, OMAFRA) & Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to reduce risks of foodborne illnesses including such recommendation for at-risk groups (i.e., pregnant women, young children, elderly and individuals with compromised immune systems). You should use a food thermometer to ensure that all meat, poultry, fish, seafood and other applicable items are cooked at recommended internal temperatures.

We may from time-to-time designate certain locations as “pick-up points” where you can collect the Products. Should you choose to receive your Products at a pick-up point, we will consider the Products delivered when they are made available to you for pick-up at the specified pick-up point. You are responsible for collecting your Products within the timeframe specified in your shipping confirmation. Please note that Goodfood does not make deliveries on Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years. Any orders placed which, according to the above delivery schedule, would fall on any of those days will be postponed to the next day. While Goodfood will strive to have your Order delivered in compliance with the On Demand Delivery schedules listed in the On Demand Delivery Options section above, certain elements out of Goodfood’s control may cause a delay in the delivery (ex. Force Majeure (as defined in Deliveries section below), Snowstorms, Vehicle troubles, logistical challenges, insufficient inventory, etc.). In such circumstances, Goodfood shall notify you right away along with the new expected delivery time.
Alcoholic Products Notwithstanding any other term and conditions contained herein, the following conditions shall apply to the purchase of alcoholic products:Limited quantities, while supplies last. You must be 19+ years of age to purchase alcoholic products (“Alcohol Product”). By purchasing Alcohol Product, you represent that you are 19 years of age or older and you are not purchasing on behalf of anyone younger than 19 years of age. Alcohol Product can only be purchased between 9 AM and 11 PM. Attended deliveries to a private residence only. Proof that you are 19 years of age or older will be requested upon delivery (driver’s licence, passport or citizenship card). Stated price excludes HST. HST will be added at checkout.

Special Offers

We may occasionally offer new or existing customers a promotional offer in connection with their use or potential use of the Services or the purchase of Products (each a “Special Offer”). The terms of a Special Offer shall be contained or otherwise transmitted therewith and otherwise governed accordingly. From time-to-time, a Special Offer may consist of a promotion for a free meal(s) upon the opening of a Goodfood Account or re-subscribing to a Subscription (a “Free Meal Special Offer”).

Should you take advantage of a Free Meal Special Offer, and such Free Meal Special Offer ends, you acknowledge and agree that we (or our third-party payment processor) will begin billing your designated payment method on a recurring basis for your Subscription Plan (plus any applicable taxes) for as long as your Subscription Plan continues, unless you cancel your Subscription Plan prior to the end of the Free Meal Special Offer. Instructions for cancelling your Subscription Plan are described herein. Please note that you may not receive a notice from us that your free meal special offer has ended or that the fully paid portion of your Subscription Plan has begun.

Account Credits

As a result of certain situations, we may issue you credits of a promotional value that will be automatically applied to future purchases made by way of your Goodfood Account or otherwise applied to your Subscription, as applicable (the “Credits”). Credits are promotional in nature, are not transferable, may only be redeemed as instructed by us and are not exchangeable for cash or other property. Credits only remain available if you maintain an active Goodfood Account. Cancelling your Goodfood Account will result in the cancellation of your Credits. You may only redeem Credits after they are applied to your Goodfood Account. Any decision made by us regarding a dispute as to your Credit balance is final.
