Terms of Service
Updated October 22, 2022
By signing up for a Digital Ordering System (“DOS”) Merchant Account or by using any SESI Services (as defined below), you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the “Terms”). These terms and conditions (“Terms”) are an agreement between Scrambled Eggs Software Inc. (“SESI”, “us”, “we” or “our”) and the person accessing or using the Service on behalf of the body corporate or entity (“Merchant”, “you” or “your”). This Agreement sets forth the general terms and conditions of your use of DOS and other products for Merchant to process orders and payments (collectively the “Service”) in accordance with these Terms and the Applicable Governing Laws. If Merchant does not agree to these Terms, they are not authorized to access and use the Service, and Merchant must immediately stop doing so.
SESI reserves the right to change these Terms at any time by notifying the Merchant of the changes by email. The changes in these Terms take effect from the date of notice unless stated otherwise. The Merchant is strongly advised to regularly check the Terms published on the website for any changes that may affect you. By the Merchant's continued use of the Service, it is understood that you have read, agreed and accepted all these Terms and any changes therein.
SESI Service Obligations
SESI’s provision of the Service to Merchant is non-exclusive.
While SESI uses reasonable efforts to ensure 24/7 availability of services, regular maintenance, development activities, or any Force Majeure event, may at times render the service unavailable for a certain period. Such instances shall not constitute breach nor render SESI liable for any delay or non-performance.
SESI in its absolute discretion, may modify the Service (or any part thereof) at any time without notice in order to solve technical issues promptly and to make improvements.
SESI is not a marketplace, we only provide merchants a platform with digital ordering and payment acceptance capabilities, which means SESI, as part of the engagement, may offer “Third Party Services” (e.g., web services, customer engagement solutions or payment gateways) to provide more tools or features to your business. Any contract of sale or any agreement through your Merchant Account will remain directly between you and the buyer particularly on order/product fulfillment. SESI will provide you and the buyer the necessary assistance on matters related to online payment transactions processed within our platform (i.e, void, refund, chargeback, etc.). However, SESI does not make any express or implied warranty or representation on the availability, suitability and reliability of Third Party Services. Therefore, you are highly encouraged to do your own due diligence on any Third Party Service providers before accessing their services through our ordering platform, to avoid any inconvenience.
Which Means
