Terms & Conditions

 OVERVIEW

This website is operated by GreenMeal Inc.. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to GreenMeal Inc.. GreenMeal Inc. offers this website, including all information, tools and services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here.

By visiting our site and/ or purchasing something from us, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (“Terms of Service”, “Terms”), including those additional terms and conditions and policies referenced herein and/or available by hyperlink. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/ or contributors of content.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using our website. By accessing or using any part of the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the website or use any services. If these Terms of Service are considered an offer, acceptance is expressly limited to these Terms of Service.

Any new features or tools which are added to the current store shall also be subject to the Terms of Service. You can review the most current version of the Terms of Service at any time on this page. We reserve the right to update, change or replace any part of these Terms of Service by posting updates and/or changes to our website. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically for changes. Your continued use of or access to the website following the posting of any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.

CHARGES / PAYMENTS

If this is your first order, then you will be charged immediately after you place your order. However, when you subscribe for a product, you will be charged  weekly on the same day. You can always edit your payments date and delivery days in your profile. 

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Ecwid, Square, Stripe or PayPal stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted. 
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards. Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service. 

COUPONS AND DISCOUNTS

GreenMeal reserves the right to alter, change, or cancel a discount or coupon at any time, without notice. If a change to a recurring coupon will affect future billings, we will make all reasonable attempts to let you know of the change prior to the applicable order

 

CANCELLATIONS – IMPORTANT

If you would like to change or cancel a future order, you must make that change in your account, or demonstrate some intent towards doing so, before the cutoff time for that order. This includes sending an email into info@GreenMeal.ca.

If an individual wishes to cancel an upcoming order, but does not make any attempt to either update their account to cancel/change the order, contact GreenMeal’s customer service email (info@GreenMeal.ca),
before Thursdays at 6:00 pm they will be charged in full for their order, and they WILL NOT BE ISSUED A REFUND.

 

Why do we do this?

Basically, we use the best ingredients in our food, we don’t freeze anything, and we need time to order and prepare our protein and produce so we can deliver your food to you, fresh. When you cancel after the cutoff time you leave us with food that we cannot sell. WE HATE THROWING FOOD OUT, please don’t make us do it.

For Example: If you have a delivery scheduled for Sunday evening, you can change or cancel that order, no questions asked, right up until 12:01 pm on Friday immediately before that Sunday’s delivery. You can log into your account and change it, call or email us, and we will consider any of those actions as an intent to change your order. Thursday at 6:00 pm, however, you will be charged, and your order will be processed.

In extenuating circumstances, GreenMeal may issue a refund but also reserves the right to levy a 5% processing fee against the refund total. This is not an administrative fee – we are not getting this 5%. This is a processing fee that makes up for the fact that payment gateways and credit card companies take a cut of every single transaction that takes place on a website-based business like GreenMeal – even if it’s us sending you money. If it’s our fault, obviously you’re not getting charged that 5%; but if you’re liable for the food you ordered, and we’re making an exception by giving you a refund, you better believe we’re taking that 5%.

 

DECLINED TRANSACTIONS

If you have an order in your cart at the cutoff time, and your payment method is declined, we will deliver that order to you as per our normal operating procedures, and you will be responsible for paying for that order. A notice will be sent to you immediately, notifying you of the declined transaction, and you will have until the following delivery cutoff cycle (3-4 days), to contact us with new payment options. If you do not respond to us in that period, your account will be suspended, and you will receive 3 more notifications over a 2-3 week period before your account will be handed to a collections agency, who will pursue you for your outstanding balance.

 

Why do we do this?

We want to make sure that if you have an order lined up with us, and for some reason, your card fails, that you don’t lose your order as well. We deliver food and people count on food in their day-to-day lives. So, any chance we can take to make sure that you get the benefit of the doubt, we’ll take it if it means you get to eat well. Unfortunately, this means that there will be individuals who try to take advantage of this service, and we will utilize all of our powers to ensure that you pay for any order that we prepare and deliver to your door.

 

FOODS / DELIVERIES

DELIVERY

GreenMeal takes all reasonable action to ensure safe food handling and timely delivery within the allotted times provided for regular deliveries. Once a package has arrived at its intended location and has been left with either the concierge or at the door, GreenMeal holds no further liability for the safety of the package or its contents.

Clients may choose to provide delivery drivers with access/lockbox codes, keys, or other means of entry into their private residence or delivery location at their own risk. GreenMeal will help to facilitate any such request, but does not solicit or promote such actions, and is not responsible for loss or damages that may be incurred as a result of this personal choice.

 

MENU ITEMS

The downside of ordering our food fresh means there may be times where some products may not be seasonally available in the quantities that we need. This may occasionally result in substituting one vegetable or grain side for another. The protein portion of the meal will always remain the same, however.

 

ALLERGIES AND NUTRITIONAL PREFERENCES

GreenMeal posts the ingredients lists and specialized icons made to represent whether the product is dairy-free (orange icon with a crossed out milk bottle on it), gluten-free (green icon with a crossed out wheat sheaf), or nut and tree nut-free (orange icon with a crossed out peanut on it), in order to maintain transparency about what we put in our food. This means that if, for example, a product has the dairy-free icon on it, no dairy was used in the preparation of that product.

To reiterate, these icons represent whether each respective ingredient (or collection of ingredients) is used in the preparation of the product.

However, GreenMeal CANNOT GUARANTEE against cross contamination of allergens in the kitchen. Our kitchen is not a nut, dairy, or gluten free facility, and those who have anaphylactic allergies to the aforementioned items (dairy, gluten, and peanuts/tree nuts) use Green\meal products AT THEIR OWN RISK. Even in situations where we use products that do not contain gluten (rolled oats in the pancakes, for example), some ingredients themselves may have been prepared in facilities that cannot guarantee against cross-contamination.

 

Macro and Micro-Nutritional Information

GreenMeal uses the most highly regarded sources available, and the standard serving sizes of their meals, in order to determine the nutritional information in their Vegan and Omnivorous Meals, and their High-Protein Snacks. These nutritional breakdowns are not meant to be scientifically accurate. Rather, this information is meant to be a general guide to the contents of the meal, and can vary based on small changes in serving size, or the proportion of ingredients used (for dishes that contain a mix of ingredients). GreenMeal is not responsible for ensuring that the nutritional information is identical for every meal served, and by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you, the client, agree to use this information generally for your own purposes.

As we are always looking for new ingredients and better sources, in the off-chance that a meal’s macro-nutritional information does not match that provided on either the individual macro labels, or on the website (meaning, if there is a disagreement between the macro-nutritional information provided in one section of the website, and the information provided elsewhere), please notify the GreenMeal staff immediately and it will be corrected (there may be something in it for you as well).
