In order to make the Delivery Services available to you via the Service, Qmenu must accept the RDP’s terms and conditions (the “RDP Terms & Conditions”). As a condition of your receipt of Delivery Services, you agree to abide by the portion of the RDP Terms & Conditions applicable to you, which may change from time to time. If you require a copy of the RDP Terms & Conditions applicable to you, please contact us at support@qmenu360.com.

The Parties’ Relationship.

Upon Restaurant’s request Qmenu may become the Merchant of Record for certain orders placed on the Site (See Merchant Addendum). Restaurant and Qmenu agree they are independent businesses whose relationship is governed by this TOS. Nothing in the parties’ agreements, relationship or transactions shall create or be construed as creating an agency, partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between Qmenu and Restaurant (or Restaurant’s employees, representatives or locations) or Qmenu and Customers.

Upon successful completion of a test order, you agree to pay Qmenu the amount that specified in the payment plan within the Service and this TOS.

☐ (Option 1) Qmenu will invoice the Restaurant monthly. Restaurant hereby authorizes Qmenu to bill its payment instrument in advance on a periodic basis in accordance with the terms of the applicable payment plan until you terminate your account, and you further agree to pay any charges so incurred.

19.Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration.
-
19.1
This Section 19 is referred to in this TOS as the “Arbitration Agreement.” Restaurant agrees that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between Restaurant and Qmenu, whether arising out of or relating to this TOS (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if Restaurant’s claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on Restaurant’s behalf. Restaurant agrees that, by entering into this TOS, Restaurant and Qmenu are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
-
19.2
RESTAURANT AND Qmenu AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH RESTAURANT AND Qmenu AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
-
19.3Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution
-
(a)
Qmenu is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@qmenu360.com or calling (404) 382-9768. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Qmenu should be sent to 115 Perimeter Center Place Suite 1025, Atlanta, GA 30346 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Qmenu and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Qmenu may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Qmenu or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Qmenu is entitled.
-
19.4Arbitration Procedures
-
(a)
Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these TOS as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the TOS and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
-
(b)
Unless Qmenu and Restaurant agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If Restaurant’s claim is for $10,000 or less, Qmenu agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Restaurant’s claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
-
19.5
Costs of Arbitration.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
-
19.6
Confidentiality.
All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
-
19.7
Severability.
Without limiting the severability provision in Section 16 of this TOS, if a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Section 19.2 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of Section 19.2 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the TOS will continue to apply.
-
19.8
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement.
Notwithstanding any provision in this TOS to the contrary, Qmenu agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Qmenu written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement.
