Reservations, Reservation Functions
- You can make online or telephone reservations via the Quandoo reservation network (e.g. Quandoo Services, Quandoo Portal, Quandoo Mobile App, Quandoo Affiliates Network, etc.) with restaurants that take part in the Quandoo reservation system (hereinafter " Partner" or " Partners"). The reservation is agreed exclusively between the Partner and the User as procured by Quandoo, whereby Quandoo does not act as a representative, but only as a messenger. For restaurants listed in the Services which are not Partners of the Quandoo reservation system (hereinafter " Listed Restaurant"), You may contact the Listed Restaurant and place an informal reservation (e.g. by telephone, e-mail or contact form using the contact information provided by the Listed Restaurant in the listing) directly, e.g. not via the Quandoo reservation system and without the procurement or involvement of Quandoo.
- The Quandoo reservation function is a Quandoo service provided free of charge to You, save for the exceptions as stipulated in section 5.6 below. The reservation feature includes an automatic check of the Partner's expected available capacity at the time of the desired reservation. This expected available capacity is calculated at the time of the User's request and is based on saved settings, existing reservations and other settings provided by the Partner. The Partner is exclusively responsible for maintaining and keeping their settings up to date. With the exception of the technical functioning of the Service, Quandoo accepts no liability for availability or the success of reservations with the Partner chosen by the User.
- Quandoo will inform You via e-mail about the status of their reservation request and any changes, if applicable. If the reservation is made more than seven (7) days in advance, Quandoo will send You a reminder forty-eight (48) hours before the time of the reservation by e-mail. An invitation to review the Partner will be sent to You via e-mail within 7 days after the reservation.
- You may be requested to provide Quandoo with Your debit card or credit card details when making a reservation with one of the Partners, e.g. for additional services or measures like "Smart Offers" or "Cancellation Fee" etc.
- If unable to honor a reservation, You must cancel the reservation as soon as possible and no later than the time specified at the time of placing the reservation and in the e-mail confirming the placement of the reservation (the " Cancellation Cut-Off Time"). To cancel, You may either use the link in the confirmation e-mail or go use the "Reservations" section in Your user account.
- If You cancel a reservation after the Cancellation Cut-Off Time or do not show up to honor a reservation, You agree to pay any applicable cancellation fee to Quandoo (the " Cancellation Fee") which may apply in three amounts, 100%, 50%, 20% of the full Cancellation Fee as displayed online during the respective reservation process. You will be informed of the Cancellation Fee by Quandoo when placing Your reservation. You authorize Quandoo to charge the cancellation fee to the debit card or credit card details provided by You when making the reservation.
- Other rights notwithstanding, Quandoo reserves the right to deactivate the reservation feature and/or other features of the Services for You if You do not honor several reservations without canceling them ("no-show") and Quandoo has already informed You hereof to no effect. The Partner's rights relating to reservations or no-shows remain unaffected.
-
Smart Offers
Subject of Agreement
- Quandoo may present so-called "Smart Offers" to Users. Smart Offers include (i.) the concession for Smart Offers without pre-payment (discounts/value offs) and (ii.) the distribution of Smart Offers with pre-payments (pre-paid credit/pre-paid menu) for (iii.) use in the Partner's business (Restaurants) which Quandoo passes on or sells to Users through the Services. Smart Offers may be free of charge or subject to a fee, are always connected to specific reservations and may be subject to further conditions and/or requirements. The proper fulfilment of Smart Offers remains in the exclusive responsibility of the Partner.
Provisions for pre-paid Smart Offer (sub-sections 6.2 – 6.16)
- Within the Services, Quandoo may offer You the chance to purchase Smart Offers for the provision of services and/or goods (hereinafter the " Partner Services") from restaurants and/or other businesses on Quandoo's own account and in Quandoo's own name. The sale of Smart Offer covers the sale of the right to be provided with the specific service or good(s) outlined in the Smart Offer by the restaurant offering the Smart Offer. The Partner, and not Quandoo, is the exclusive publisher of the Smart Offer and Your contractual partner for the service outlined in the respective Smart Offer. Quandoo's duty within the framework of the Smart Offer sale is, therefore, limited to procure Your right against the Partner for the provision of the service outlined in the respective Smart Offer in accordance with the Smart Offer conditions outlined in the Smart Offer and, if applicable, the Partner's General Terms and Conditions. Quandoo reserves the right to establish and/or change individual conditions including, without being limited hereto, the purchasing period and the number of Smart Offers offered for sale. Please see the section on the rights of revocation applicable to consumers and the standard form for revocation at the end of this document.
- The specified partner is the exclusive publisher of the Smart Offer and Your contractual partner for the Partner Service outlined in the Smart Offer. The Partner provides this service based on an agreement with You arising from You redeeming the Smart Offer. Such agreement may be subject to the Partner's additional General Terms and Conditions, if applicable. The sale of the Smart Offer from Quandoo to You is a purchase of rights relating to Your options to be provided with a Partner Service based on an agreement between You and the Partner. Quandoo is therefore not responsible for providing the Partner Service.
- The Smart Offers sold by Quandoo refer to, for example, a specific service (Partner's product and/or service), based on the conditions defined in the Smart Offer description (hereinafter the " Smart Offer Conditions"). The Smart Offer Conditions may outline, for example, the term during which the Smart Offer may be redeemed from the Partner (hereinafter the " Validity Period") and whether specific additional conditions or limitations apply, e.g. limited capacity for different possible redemption times within the Validity Period. Quandoo recommends that You confirm the time of the service, if and when necessary according to the Smart Offer Conditions, individually with the Partner. The Smart Offer Conditions are available in the Smart Offer ordering dialogue, and form a valid part of the Smart Offer purchase agreement.
Agreement conclusion
- The Smart Offer purchase agreement is subject to (i.) the Your successful payment of the Smart Offer price to Quandoo, and Quandoo's acceptance of the purchase order via the online ordering dialogue provided for this purpose, and (ii.) the confirmation of the reservation.
- If the Smart Offer cannot be provided within the purchase term due to unforeseen reasons, Quandoo shall not accept Your purchase offer so that no Smart Offer purchase agreement will be concluded between Quandoo and You. You will be informed accordingly by e-mail. Any payment already provided by You will be refunded by Quandoo immediately, if applicable.
- Quandoo's Smart Offer offers are directed at individuals for private use only. You may not use Smart Offers for commercial or professional purposes, especially commercial trade or other commercial or professional use of Smart Offers (e.g. for competitions, raffles, auctions or otherwise free distribution for marketing purposes), unless otherwise agreed in writing between Quandoo and You. Smart Offers may be transferred to other users.
Warranty
- With the Smart Offer sale, Quandoo warrants to provide You with the right to claim the service from the Partner, as outlined in the Smart Offer, subject to the respective Smart Offer conditions and to the Partner's General Terms and Conditions, if applicable. This warranty includes the continued survival of rights for the provided right, and the right being free from third parties' rights and obligations at the time of the Smart Offer sale (warranty of the survival of rights).
- The provision of the service outlined on the Smart Offer is solely owed by the Partner. Quandoo assumes no liability for the proper redemption of the Smart Offer by the Partner or the Partner's services. This exclusion includes the partner's credit-rating and ability to perform (no warranty of redemption).
- As Your contractual partner, the Partner is solely responsible for the proper provision of service. Quandoo assumes no liability for the Partner's proper provision of services. This applies also to the quality of the service outlined in the Smart Offer, including external circumstances e.g. relating to the service, atmosphere and the upholding of appointments (no warranty for defects of performance)
Conditions for Redeeming and Returning
- Smart Offers are directly connected to the reservation and confirmed within the reservation confirmation.
- To redeem the Smart Offer, You must honor Your reservation with the Partner who must confirm Your visit to Quandoo.
- The purchased Smart Offer must be redeemed at the Partner's business at the confirmation date and time. Any unused or expired Smart Offers not claimed during the confirmed reservation may not be exchanged; You may not claim a reimbursement for the purchased Smart Offer from Quandoo.
- Unless otherwise agreed, the service outlined in the Smart Offer may only be claimed once by You from the Partner. If You do not make use of the Partner service or the Smart Offer value in full, You may not claim a refund, credit or any other compensation of the remaining amount.
- All clauses applicable to Smart Offer purchases which not directly govern payments, also apply to Smart Offer which are free of charge (e.g. free Smart Offer entry for specific events), in particular section 6.2 3rd sentence; 6.3 1st and 3rd sentence; 6.4 2nd and 4th sentence; 6.6 1st sentence; 6.10; and 6.12.
- In case of questions concerning Quandoo Smart Offer sales or Smart Offer conditions, complaints or comments, please contact Quandoo's service team by phone at (800) 3211 166, or e-mail us at uk@quandoo.com.
Provision for Smart Offers without pre-payment (No. 6.17 – 6.19)
- Discounts/Value-offs mean price reductions the Partner offers to Users of the Quandoo-Network regarding specific reservations. For the concession of discounts/value-offs specific reductions on prices and other pre-defined conditions are displayed during the course of the reservation using the Services. Details applicable to the discounts or value-offs, shall be provided in that context, particularly pertaining to amounts and timeframes.
- Discounts and value-offs only apply to a specific reservation placed by You and may not be transferred to other reservations. The respective reservation must be kept for You to be eligible to claim the discount or value-off.
- All clauses applicable to Smart Offer purchases which not directly govern payments, also apply to Smart Offer which are free of charge (e.g. free Smart Offer entry for specific events), in particular section 6.2 3rd sentence; 6.3 1st and 3rd sentence; 6.4 2nd and 4th sentence; 6.6 1st sentence; 6.10; and 6.12.

- Quandoo has a loyalty point program, e.g. loyalty points may be collected for certain activities and be redeemed subject to specific conditions into bonuses (e.g. Smart Offers).

- In addition to these GTC, Quandoo also provides details for collecting and redeeming of loyalty points, including the required number of loyalty points, as well as the bonuses and Partners offering the bonuses, in the relevant entries and entry masks within the Services. Though such terms may change at any time, the details and the offer at the time of Your activity acquiring loyalty points, or at the time of redeeming loyalty points, as the case may be, shall apply.
- Quandoo may determine that You must accumulate a certain number of loyalty points (e.g. 1.000), reach a pre-defined status, or meet certain criteria (e.g. successfully upholding a reservation) before being eligible to redeem accumulated loyalty points for bonuses.
- Loyalty points awarded for placing a reservation, may only be acquired if You (i) made the reservation using the Services and (ii) successfully executes the reservation. If You do not show up for his reservation, cancels the reservation or does not honor the reservation for any other reason, loyalty points will not be awarded.
- Loyalty points awarded for the purchase of a Smart Offer may only be acquired if You (i) purchase the Smart Offer through the Quandoo website or mobile app and (ii) pay for the Smart Offer.

- You can view Your current score of loyalty points in Your account on the Quandoo website. Quandoo may also inform You thereof through the e-mail newsletter. If You redeem accumulated loyalty points, Quandoo will send You an e-mail with the details (e.g. time of redeeming the bonus). If it is necessary as a result of redeeming loyalty points to make the bonus available (e.g. sending a Smart Offer), this will be done by either e-mail or regular mail. If the bonus is a restaurant Smart Offer, the Smart Offer conditions of these GTC shall apply, as appropriate.
- Accumulated loyalty points may only be redeemed from Quandoo for bonuses and/or cashback offered by Quandoo for this purpose. Loyalty points are tied to the individual user and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred to third parties without permission from Quandoo.
- Any accumulated loyalty points shall expire if not redeemed within 180 days after the last reservation via the Quandoo platform. Loyalty points shall also expire if a user account is cancelled (section 2.5), deactivated (sections 4.6 and 5.5) or if the Agreement between Quandoo and You ends for any other reason. In addition, Quandoo may notify You about Your loyalty points' expiration by e-mail or regular mail.
- Quandoo reserves the right to discontinue the loyalty points program at any time. After discontinuation, You may not accumulate any new loyalty points.

Special Terms for the Use of the Takeaway Service
Within the framework of our takeaway services as part of our Quandoo services, we provide you with the option of ordering dishes from all the participating restaurants in advance and then collecting them from the restaurant.
-
Scope
- The present Special Terms for the Use of the Takeaway Service ("Takeaway Terms") shall apply when you use our takeaway service, in addition to our General Terms and Conditions for the Use of Quandoo Services by End Users.
- If the Takeaway Terms and our General Terms and Conditions for the Use of Quandoo Services by End Users contradict one another, the Takeaway Terms shall take precedence.
-
Submitting an order, contractual relationship
- On our platform, we shall publish the goods offered by the participating restaurants which you can order from the restaurant via our platform (a "Takeaway Offer" in each case).
- By submitting an order request to the respective restaurant (a "Request"), you are sending the restaurant an offer to conclude a contract for the purchase of the goods ordered by you. You shall receive an automatic confirmation of the receipt of your request by e-mail ("Confirmation of Receipt").
- Please note that the submission of your Request and the Confirmation of Receipt shall not yet constitute the conclusion of a binding contract between you and the restaurant. This contract shall only come into effect if your Request is bindingly accepted (e.g. by e-mail or telephone). This acceptance can take the form of a message from either us or the restaurant. In this context, you shall also be informed as to whether your desired collection time for the goods can be met, or another collection time shall be agreed with you. Please note that the restaurant is not obligated to accept your offer and thus to execute the contract, for example if your desired goods are no longer available. If the restaurant has accepted your request or you have bindingly agreed a collection time other the one you initially desired, a contract with a payment obligation has come into effect.
- Quandoo shall not be responsible for the contract between you and the restaurant and shall act exclusively as an intermediary for the transmission of your Request and, if applicable, for the acceptance of your Request by the restaurant. Please also note that we are not responsible for the content of the Takeaway Offers (e.g. information about the restaurant with regard to contact information, the goods offered, information about allergens, additives and ingredients, the prices and their components, product photos, minimum order quantities and other information about the restaurant, collectively referred to as the "Restaurant Information") and shall not check their completeness and accuracy. If you are allergic or intolerant to particular foodstuffs or ingredients, please get in touch with the restaurant in advance to find out about the allergens and additives used.
-
Obligations of the user
- You must be available by telephone or by e-mail so that the Request can be confirmed, so that you can agree a different collection time with the restaurant if applicable and so that a valid contract can come into effect.
- You must receive the ordered dishes punctually at the agreed collection time and make the corresponding payment directly to the restaurant on site.
- Upon collection, the restaurant can insist that you provide proof of age if the order contains alcoholic goods or other goods with an age restriction. If you cannot provide adequate proof of identification or if you do not meet the age requirement, the restaurant can refuse to hand over the corresponding goods. In this case, we shall assume no liability for the actual execution of the contract.
- Quandoo reserves the right to bar you from Takeaway, for example if you provide false contact information, do not pay, do not collect order goods or do not comply with other contractual obligations. If you place orders that are verifiably false or fraudulent, we reserve the right to lodge a complaint against you.
-
Quandoo's liability
Quandoo shall not be liable for the Takeaway Offer, for the accuracy and completeness of the Restaurant Information and for the execution of the contract. In other respects, the liability shall be based on the specifications of our General Terms and Conditions for the Use of Quandoo Services by End Users.
- Miscellaneous provisions
- Please note that complaints regarding the execution of the contract must be clarified with the restaurant directly.
- If individual provisions of the present Takeaway Terms are or become invalid, in part or in full, or if a competent court declares them to be inapplicable, the remainder of the contract shall remain valid. The same shall also apply in the event of unintended omissions. Missing or invalid provisions shall be replaced by valid provisions that come as close as possible to the intention of the Parties.
Obligations to provide information with regard to the contract between you and the restaurant
In fulfilment of the legal requirements, you shall find the following information here with regard to the contract concluded between you and the respective restaurant :

You can use the Quandoo platform to order goods for collection from the restaurant by going through the following steps: (a) First choose your desired goods on the Quandoo platform and place them in the basket. Then specify your desired collection time. Before submitting your request, you can change the contents of the basket at any time. (b) Submit your Request to the restaurant by clicking on the corresponding button and you will immediately receive a Confirmation of Receipt by e-mail from Quandoo. Please note that this Confirmation of Receipt does not constitute an acceptance of the contract. (c) A valid contract shall only come into effect as soon as your Request is confirmed. This can be done by e-mail or telephone by the restaurant itself or by Quandoo as the restaurant's intermediary. (d) Collect the goods at the restaurant at the agreed time and pay on site.
- Quandoo shall send you all the information about the contract by e-mail in the Confirmation of Receipt after you have submitted your Request.
- The language of the country in which the Quandoo company that operates the relevant platform has its registered office shall be available to you for the conclusion of the contract.
- Settlement of complaints
- The EU Commission provides an online platform for extrajudicial dispute resolution. Consumers can use it to resolve disputes relating to online orders without bringing them before a court in the first instance. The platform is available under the following external link: http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Please note that the respective restaurant is not obligated to participate in such a resolution procedure and does not offer participation in this.
- Right of withdrawal
Please note that you do not have a right to cancel your contract with the restaurant in the following cases:
- the supply of goods that are made to the consumer's specifications or are clearly personalised;
- the supply of goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly;
- in the case of a contract for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery;

You have the right to withdraw from the contract with the restaurant within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the goods.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (Quandoo UK Ltd., 9 Appold Street, London, EC2A 2AP, Phone: (+44) 0203 966 1305, Email: service.uk@quandoo.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g. a letter sent by post, fax or e-mail). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from the contract with the restaurant, the restaurant shall reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (with the exception of the supplementary costs resulting from your choice of a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us), without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. The restaurant will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
The restaurant may withhold reimbursement until it has received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to the restaurant, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from the contract with the restaurant to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
