Welcome on HipMeal’s App/Website, which is the property of PlatusWeb, Prop. Said Zejjari, Tribschenstrasse 38, 6005 Lucerne, Switzerland.
HipMeal’s (“HM”, the “app” or “we”) mission is to reduce food waste worldwide, connect people and make food accessible to all.
Users have the opportunity to offer food / meals to other users on the platform. By using chats, the users can place a request to the provider.
HM is not a contractual partner, the platform only acts as an intermediary. We provide users with a platform on which they can offer or purchase food. HM bears no responsibility for the products or the agreement between the provider and the interested party.
All offers on HipMeal are free of charge. Users are free to bring a small gift as a thank you for the meal.
In order to use the services of HM, it is necessary to register. Registration is allowed for natural persons capable of acting, but also for legal entities.
By accepting these GTC, the User confirms that he/she meets the required age limit to receive the services offered by HM.
The User confirms to provide only truthful and complete information to the App. Any changes are to be communicated immediately.
The user is obliged to keep the access data received during registration, in particular the password, secret and not to disclose or make it accessible to third parties. Only one registration is permitted per user. The user is liable for damages caused by disregard of these duties of care.
HM is not responsible for the manufacture, purchase, storage, fabrication, production, processing, labeling, packaging, pickup or handling of the products. We are not responsible for ingredient labeling, allergen labeling, or handling of the Products. HM further assumes no responsibility for compliance with applicable laws, including applicable food regulations, relating to the manufacture, storage, preparation, production, processing, labeling, pickup and handling of food, unless HM is expressly identified on the Platform as the manufacturer or provider of the Product.
The User is responsible for all content he/she posts on the app. When using the platform and in all other actions and/or omissions related to the use of HM, the User is obliged to comply with the applicable laws, in particular also any public law regulations and the provisions of the Food Act and the Food and Consumer Goods Ordinance (Lebensmittel- und Gebrauchsgegenständeverordnung, LGV), and under no circumstances to infringe any copyrights or intellectual property rights of third parties and to refrain from linking to third-party content. Furthermore, the user may not take any actions that are likely to damage the interests or reputation of the app. The user may not perform any harassing actions, such as sending chain emails or distributing offensive content.
The User commits to use all data received exclusively in connection with the use of the services at HM. The Chef is obliged to describe the meal offered by him correctly, in detail and completely, filling in at least the mandatory fields specified on the platform. The meal offered by him as well as further information he posts on the platform must always be kept up-to-date and truthful.
Cook must also procure appropriate public liability insurance or equivalent insurance for private individuals.
The interested party can pick up the meal from the chef or enjoy it with him on the spot. However, it is also permissible to agree on other arrangements. When and how the meal is to be handed over can be determined by the chef and agreed upon with the interested party. Upon receipt of the meal, the recipient must inspect it and immediately notify the cook of any complaints or defects.
Each user may rate other users via the platform. Truthful statements must be made in the evaluation. However, defamatory, unobjective, illegal or inappropriate comments are prohibited and can be deleted by HM at any time without giving reasons.
Any use contrary to the purpose of the rating system is prohibited. This includes, in particular, ratings by non-existent persons or ratings of one’s own person.
In particular (but not exclusively), ratings made by the User via the Platform may not:
HM shall have the right to remove or modify any ratings posted, uploaded or submitted to the Platform at any time if the rating violates one or more of the prohibitions set out above or is otherwise deemed to be abusive.
The reviews provided on the App are for informational purposes for users and do not constitute an HM recommendation. The ratings reflect the views of users or third parties who have met or exchanged food via the app. Any information, tips or opinions provided by these individuals are solely attributable to them. HM assumes, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no responsibility or liability for any reviews, including, but not limited to, any errors, defamations, obscenities, omissions or fabrications that user may encounter in such reviews.
HM is entitled to save the ratings.
Submitted ratings via the platform are not rewarded or linked to other benefits.
There may be a delay before the submitted rating is published.
HM shall not be liable for any damages arising out of or in connection with matters for which the User is responsible, fault of third parties or for interruption of the availability of the Platform for which HM is not responsible, orders placed by users using fraudulently obtained data (e.g. identity theft, etc.), contents of websites to which the Platform is linked, including the accuracy of the linked websites and data protection on such websites, and similar cases as listed under this paragraph, unless HM has negligently breached a related contractual obligation.
We shall not be liable for the failure or non-delivery of services if this is due to circumstances for which we are not responsible (without HM having at least negligently breached a contractual obligation in this respect). Such circumstances include, in particular, disruptions to HM’s operations as a result of changes in the law, official or regulatory measures, acts of war, terrorism, strikes, physical obstructions, lockouts and natural disasters.
HM is not liable for damages caused by slight negligence. This limitation of liability does not apply to damages due to loss of life, physical integrity, health or to claims arising from HM’s primary obligations as well as to product liability claims.
HM is not considered as a contracting party between the users. All responsibility is declined for any claims arising therefrom. Should HM become involved in a legal dispute (including a pre-trial dispute) in connection with the App, the Users involved therein shall be jointly and severally liable for the costs incurred by HM in this connection. Likewise, claims for damages for lost investments, for unrealized profit, for loss of data, for software recovery, for downtime or for other lost production or working time and for course losses are completely excluded; this applies to all claims of the User, regardless of the legal reason. HM assumes no responsibility for external or indirect defects and consequential damages (e.g. damages from operational failure, delay in information forwarding, due to viruses or from line or system errors).
Reviews and maintenance by HP are accepted by the user. This may temporarily affect the availability of some or all products. Forwarding of third-party content and services may also cause temporary delays. HM endeavors to keep downtimes as short as possible in the interest of the user. Proportionate interruptions may occur. HM is not liable for system failures of network operators, service providers, etc.
If the following conditions are met, the user may not use the platform commercially and print and download content:
Except as provided in this clause, the Platform may not be used without the prior written permission of HM. No part of the Platform may be reproduced on any other platform, stored or incorporated into any public or private electronic data retrieval system or service.
We are committed to ensuring the security of users’ personal data. In all data processing operations (e.g. collection, processing and transmission), HM proceeds in compliance with the statutory provisions in accordance with the data protection provisions of the app. You can find detailed data protection provisions under Privacy Policy.
We guarantee to perform our agreed services in the quality customary in the industry. The app does not guarantee the accuracy and appropriateness of the content published on the platform, especially meals and reviews.
We do not warrant that the services will be accessible without interruption, that the desired connections can be established at any time, or that stored data will remain available under all circumstances. An interruption in the accessibility of the services for the user does not constitute a claim for damages.
The User has no right to customer support or upgrade activities by HM.
HM assumes no responsibility for the profitability of the licensed software and the business based on it. The software is not designed to generate profit in the short or long term. It is the responsibility of the user to control the individual agreements made with the software and to monitor their respective compatibility with his risk profile. The user uses the program at his own financial risk and responsibility.
If any defects are found in the licensed software, these must be reported to HM in writing or by e-mail within 3 days of downloading the software at the latest. We are not liable for defects that have occurred as a result of incorrect handling, or due to external influences (power failure, faulty hardware, etc.). In particular, we are not liable for any loss of data. It is the user’s risk to back up his data regularly and to perform regular back-ups.
These Terms and Conditions may be amended by HM at any time.
The new version will come into force 30 (thirty) days after it is posted on the website by us.
The version of the GTC in force at the time of the conclusion of the contract shall apply to the User. Unless the user has agreed to a newer version of the GTC.
