  3. BNB Meals. 

Discounts: Merchants have the flexibility to offer discounted meals, which may include non-surplus items sold at a special rate or exclusive offers. Additionally, they can sell their daily and fresh surplus food through pre-fixed meal options (“Meal Options”) or mix'n match meal boxes (“Meal Box”). After placing an order, you can select your Meal Option or customize your Meal Box at the Merchant location based on the availability of surplus food for the day of the order.

Non-discounted meals: In addition to discounted offerings, Merchants can also feature their regular menu items

  1. Merchant and Meal Availability and Allocation. BNB makes no guarantee on the availability of particular Merchants, meals, menu choices or other inventory, and availability may change over time.

The Merchants are required to comply with federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations, and standards pertaining to the preparation, sale and marketing of food, including food preparation and safety and menu disclosure; BNB is not responsible for the Merchants' food preparation or safety and does not verify any Merchants's compliance with applicable laws. In addition, BNB does not guarantee the quality of what the Merchants sell, nor does it guarantee the services provided by the Merchant. In addition, BNB does not independently verify representations made by Merchants regarding their food, including without limitation any menu- or restaurant- level descriptors or disclosures.

Check the Merchant description, for details about when you can pick up your meal order at the Merchant.

Check the Merchant description on how its BNB Meals work.
  3. If you do not pick up your order: If you do not pick up your order on time, BNB is entitled to sell the product to another party, without any liability to you. BNB will not refund completed Orders for late or missing pickup, nor will the Merchant.
  4. Gifts and Promotions. From time to time we may make available gift cards for Meals, giveaways, other types of promotions or promotional plans (including through the use of promotional codes or those provided as part of a third party promotion). Gift cards, promotions and promotional plans may be redeemed as described in the specifics of the promotion and may be subject to additional or different terms. Unless otherwise expressly communicated to you in connection with your redemption, gift cards, promotions and promotional plans are not transferable, can only be used once, cannot be redeemed for cash, and may not be combined with other offers and are void where prohibited. To be eligible for certain promotions, you must not have an existing Account.
  5. Meal Points and Referral Program: Meal points function as a supplementary benefit, enabling users to order meals beyond their regular funds. These points can be earned through various methods, including spending a designated amount. Additionally, each account is equipped with a unique referral code. When others sign up using your code, both you and the new user receive a specified amount of meal points. Please be aware that the details of meal points and the referral program are subject to change.

27. WAIVER AND RELEASE

You understand that BNB is not a restaurant or food provider or other service provider and the meals you consume are sourced and prepared by the applicable Merchant and not by BNB. Although BNB endeavors to offer inventory that is of high quality, BNB is not responsible for the quality of any meals or service.

Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you release, indemnify, and hold harmless BNB, its parent, subsidiaries or affiliated entities, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, employees, consultants, contract employees, representatives and agents, and each of their respective successors and assigns, from any and all responsibility, claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities arising out of or in any way related to your participation in or use of your Account, including with respect to bodily injury, physical harm, illness, death or property damage.

Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides that:

"A general release does not extend to claims which the party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing this release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his settlement with the other party."

YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 (or any statute of like effect in the jurisdiction in which you are located). This waiver extends to and includes any and all claims, liabilities, injuries, damages, and causes of action that the parties do not presently anticipate, know, or suspect to exist, but that may develop, accrue, or be discovered in the future.

28. INDEMNIFICATION; HOLD HARMLESS

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY OR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH CASES, BNB’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

BNB LIABILITY TO YOU IS LIMITED TO $50 OR THE AMOUNTS, IF ANY, PAID BY YOU TO BNB UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE THREE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE EVENT FIRST GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, WHICHEVER IS MORE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER BNB HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

30. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

  1. Purpose. This Arbitration Agreement facilitates the prompt and efficient resolution of any disputes that may arise between you and BNB. Arbitration is a form of private dispute resolution in which parties to a contract agree to submit their disputes and potential disputes to a neutral third person (called an arbitrator) for a binding decision, instead of having such dispute(s) decided in a lawsuit, in court, by a judge or jury trial. You have the right to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement (as explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your disputes in a court, either before a judge or jury.
    Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It provides that all disputes between you and BNB shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces the right to go to court. In the absence of this arbitration agreement, you may otherwise have a right or opportunity to bring claims in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including, but not limited to, class actions). Except as otherwise provided, entering into this Arbitration Agreement constitutes a waiver of your right to litigate claims in court and all opportunity to be heard by a judge or jury. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow this Arbitration Agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney’s fees).
    For the purpose of this Arbitration Agreement, “BNB” means BNB and its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and BNB regarding any aspect of your relationship with BNB, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence or reckless behavior), or any other legal or equitable theory, and includes the validity, enforceability or scope of this Arbitration Agreement (with the exception of the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below). “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced.
    WE EACH AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW, ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, AS DEFINED ABOVE, WHETHER PRESENTLY IN EXISTENCE OR BASED ON ACTS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PAST OR IN THE FUTURE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.
  2. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. For all Disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first give BNB an opportunity to resolve the Dispute. You must commence this process by mailing a written notification to BNB, Legal Department, 177 Huntington Ave Ste 1703 , MA 02115. That written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) a written description of the Dispute, and (4) a description of the specific relief you seek. If BNB does not resolve the Dispute to your satisfaction within 45 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your Dispute in arbitration. You may pursue your Dispute in a court only under the circumstances described below.
  3. Exclusions From Arbitration And Your Right To Opt Out. Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not by arbitration if (a) the Dispute qualifies, it may be initiated in small claims court in your state of residence; or (b) YOU OPT-OUT OF THESE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST CONSENT TO THIS AGREEMENT (the “Opt-Out Deadline”). You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement by mailing written notification to BNB, Legal Department, 177 Huntington Ave Ste 1703 , MA 02115. Your written notification must include (1) your name, (2) your address, and (3) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with BNB through arbitration. Your decision to opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement will have no adverse effect on your relationship with BNB. Any opt-out request received after the Opt-Out Deadline will not be valid and you must pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court.
  4. Arbitration Procedures. If this Arbitration Agreement applies and the Dispute is not resolved as provided above (“PreArbitration Claim Resolution”) either you or BNB may initiate arbitration proceedings. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com, will arbitrate all Disputes, and the arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be commenced as an individual arbitration, and shall in no event be commenced as a class arbitration. All issues shall be for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this Arbitration Agreement. For arbitration before the AAA, for Disputes of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will apply; for Disputes involving $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. In either instance, the AAA’s Optional Rules For Emergency Measures Of Protection shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. For arbitration before JAMS, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures and the JAMS Recommended Arbitration Discovery Protocols For Domestic, Commercial Cases will apply. The JAMS rules are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267. This Arbitration Agreement governs in the event it conflicts with the applicable arbitration rules. Under no circumstances will class action procedures or rules apply to the arbitration. Because your contract with BNB, the Terms of Use, and this this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all Disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit.
  5. Arbitration Award. The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available pursuant to applicable law, and will not have the power to award relief to, against or for the benefit of any person who is not a party to the proceeding. The arbitrator shall make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award by the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
  6. Location of Arbitration. You may initiate arbitration in either Massachusetts, or in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. In the event that BNB initiates an arbitration, it may only do so in the federal judicial district that includes your address that you provide in your written notification of Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution.
  7. Payment of Arbitration Fees and Costs. BNB will pay all arbitration filing fees and arbitrator’s costs and expenses upon your written request given prior to the commencement of the arbitration. You are responsible for all additional fees and costs that you incur in the arbitration, including, but not limited to, attorneys or expert witnesses. Fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. In addition to any rights to recover fees and costs under applicable law, if you provide notice and negotiate in good faith with BNB as provided in the section above titled “Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution” and the arbitrator concludes that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover from BNB your actual and reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
  8. Class Action Waiver. Except as otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, representative action, consolidated action or private attorney general action) unless both you and BNB specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration. If you choose to pursue your Dispute in court by opting out of this Arbitration Agreement as specified above, this Class Action Waiver will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other Member of BNB and/or user of BNB services, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, representative, consolidated or private attorney general proceeding without having complied with the opt-out requirements above.
  9. Limitation of Procedural Rights. You understand and agree that, by entering into this Arbitration Agreement, you and BNB are each agreeing to arbitration instead of the right to a trial before a judge or jury in a public court. In the absence of this Arbitration Agreement, you and BNB might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Except as otherwise provided below, you give up those rights. Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited in arbitration. The right to appellate review of an arbitrator’s decision is much more limited than in court, and in general an arbitrator’s decision may not be appealed for errors of fact or law.
  10. Severability. If any clause within this Arbitration Agreement (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Agreement, and the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then this entire Arbitration Agreement will be unenforceable and the Dispute will be decided by a court.
  11. Continuation. This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of your contract with BNB and your use of the BNB Site and services.

 

31. MISCELLANEOUS

  1. Choice of Law; Forum. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Massachustts, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

  8. Waiver. No waiver of any of these Terms by BNB is binding unless authorized in writing by an executive officer of BNB.
