1.1. Welcome to the ShopeeFood platform, a food delivery platform (the “Platform”) operated by Shopee Mobile Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., its affiliates and subsidiaries (individually and collectively “we”, “us”, “our”, “Shopee” or the “Company”) in Malaysia. These terms and conditions and all policies referred to therein constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you”) and Shopee (“Terms of Service”). Please read these Terms of Service carefully before you order any goods, over-the-counter medication, food and/or beverages (“Products”) supplied by merchants who are either participating as registered merchants of Shopee or not participating as registered merchants of Shopee (“Merchants”) from our Platform. By accessing and/or ordering any Products on our Platform, you give your irrevocable acceptance of and consent to be bound by these Terms of Service and any part thereof.


1.2. The Shopee Terms of Service (https://help.shopee.com.my/portal/article/77215) are integral and form inseparable parts of these Terms of Service. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms of Service and the Shopee Terms of Service, these Terms of Service shall prevail.


1.3. SHOPEE IS A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY WHICH PROVIDES SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, AN ONLINE PLATFORM SERVICE THAT PROVIDES A PLACE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SALE OF PRODUCTS BETWEEN YOU AND MERCHANTS WHICH MAY BE DELIVERED TO YOU BY THIRD PARTY DELIVERY PARTNERS (“DELIVERY PARTNERS”) OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR SELF-PICK UP FROM THE RESPECTIVE MERCHANT (AS APPLICABLE) (SUCH ONLINE PLATFORM SERVICES, “SHOPEEFOOD SERVICES”). THE ACTUAL CONTRACTS FOR (A) THE SALE OF PRODUCTS ARE DIRECTLY BETWEEN YOU AND THE MERCHANTS; AND (B) THE DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS ARE DIRECTLY BETWEEN YOU AND THE DELIVERY PARTNERS, AND SHOPEE IS NOT A PARTY TO THOSE CONTRACTS OR ANY CONTRACTS BETWEEN YOU AND MERCHANTS OR THE DELIVERY PARTNERS, AND ACCEPTS NO OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CONTRACTS. PARTIES TO SUCH TRANSACTIONS WILL BE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SALES CONTRACTS BETWEEN THEM, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LISTING OF PRODUCTS AND THE DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS. 


SECTION 2: ORDERING


2.1. By placing an order for a Product through our Platform (“Order”), you agree and authorize us to process that Order and forward it to the Merchant and/or the Delivery Partner to follow up on the Order and deliver the Products through ShopeeFood Services, on your behalf. However, the Merchant remains solely responsible to you for the preparation and quality of your Order.


2.2. Any Order that you place with us is subject to availability, delivery capacity, and acceptance by us, the Merchants, and/or the Delivery Partners.


2.3. Upon your successful placement of an Order, the Delivery Partner will follow up on your Order, including, but not limited to, locating the restaurant or place of business that is owned, managed, and registered by the Merchant to obtain ShopeeFood Services (“Merchant Outlet”) and delivering the Product. The Merchants and/or the Delivery Partner may call you on the telephone or mobile number provided or otherwise contact you to confirm the details of the Order, any change in the Order (for instance, due to unavailability), the price to be paid or any change thereof and/or the estimated delivery time. For the avoidance of doubt, Shopee is not involved in and will not be responsible for any separate arrangement between you and the Merchant and/or the Delivery Partner.


2.4. All Orders are treated as confirmed after a specific timeframe (subject to Shopee’s absolute discretion) following the Order placement. You shall not be entitled to cancel an Order after it is confirmed. If you cancel an Order after it has been confirmed, you remain liable to pay the applicable fees for the Order in full, regardless of whether it has been prepared by the Merchant. For the avoidance of doubt, where you have opted to self-pick up an Order, you will be deemed to have cancelled the Order by not collecting it within the timeframe specified in the Platform or otherwise communicated by Shopee. Shopee, the Merchant and/or the Delivery Partner shall not be responsible to retain the Order for your collection after the said timeframe has lapsed.
