  1. PRODUCT INFORMATION AND PRICING

While we endeavor to provide accurate product information on our Sites, such information is provided as a convenience to you and many times based on third-party information, and you should not rely solely on the product information presented on the Sites. You should always carefully read the labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product and directly contact the product manufacturer for any questions. None of the entities associated with us nor product manufacturers assume any liability for inaccuracies, misstatements, or omissions related to any product information listed on the Sites. In addition, even though we make an effort to describe and display our products and services accurately on the Sites, products may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable and we may experience delay in updating such respective information on our Sites.

  1. NUTRITIONAL CONTENT

Any nutritional information about recipes or products provided on the Sites (“Nutritional Content“) is based on the ingredients and cooking techniques as listed in the applicable recipe and does not include any additional ingredients you may add on your own. Nutritional Contents listed are based on averages and may vary. Metropolitan Market does not warrant the quality, completeness, or accuracy of any recipes provided on the Sites. The Sites may also provide information about food handling and preparation methods. Please be advised consuming raw or undercooked meat, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of food borne illnesses, especially if you have certain medical conditions.

  1. TERMS OF SALE

All purchases through our Sites made by you, are governed by this Agreement.

  • Online Prices. Pricing may differ depending on the fulfillment method you select, e.g., delivery or pickup. Not all of our locations may provide all methods of fulfillment, and any fulfillment method is subject to such location’s available methods at the time of your order. Certain products, such as produce may be sold by weight, in which case, a representative cost per unit may be used to calculate the estimated costs. The actual cost will be determined when the order is prepared for pickup or delivery and that cost will be reflected in the final total, which may be higher or lower than the estimate.
  • Service and Delivery Fees. Purchases through the Sites may include a number of fees, including but not limited to a non-refundable service fee on all delivery and pickup orders, which will be included in the total at checkout, prior to you making any payment. Service fees may vary depending on several factors, including, but not limited to, order size, particular products purchased, and weight. Delivery fees may vary as well depending on the order and party fulfilling the order. Typically, a third party, including but not limited to Instacart, Amazon or DoorDash, will fulfill and deliver your order. In those cases, and unless expressly stated with a particular order, the third party charges non-refundable service and delivery fees, which will be included in the total at checkout, prior to you making any payment. Once you place your order with a third party or we transfer your order to a third party for delivery, your order will be subject to the terms, policies, actions or inactions of such third party, including any service and delivery fees that the third party charges. [1] The third party may also offer a subscription to delivery services on a recurring monthly or annual fee-paid basis, which may reduce or eliminate delivery or delivery and service fees on individual orders. Any subscription is subject to that third party’s terms, policies, actions or inactions of that third party.
  • Fee Changes. Metropolitan Market reserves the right to add, delete or change any fees or other charges applicable to online purchases at any time prior to a purchase being made.
  • Online Orders. In locations where delivery or pickup service is offered, one or more fulfillment options may be available. The fulfillment options that are available to you will be displayed on the Sites. We may add or discontinue delivery and/or pickup services at any time, with or without notice. In addition, in some cases, a third party may provide a service on your behalf or independently, in which case, your order will be subject to the terms, policies, actions or inactions of that third party. In those cases, you may be transferred to a third party’s website to place your order and take delivery from such third party (e.g., Instacart, Amazon or DoorDash), or your order may be transferred to a third party for delivery after it has been picked and packed by our personnel. In either case, once you place your order with a third party or we transfer your order to a third party for delivery, your order will be subject to the terms, policies, actions or inactions of such third party.
    1. Placing Orders. All orders must be placed online using your account and accurate information related to necessary information such as pickup time, delivery address, etc. Orders may be subject to minimum order requirements to the extent such requirements are in effect at the time the order is placed.
    2. Payment. By submitting an order through capabilities offered through the Sites, you agree to purchase the item(s) specified in your order. We will send you an electronic confirmation that your order has been received and the offer accepted, subject to our final confirmation of items purchased and the total price; however, we also reserve the right to cancel your order, in whole or in part, at any time in our sole discretion, and to refuse to provide delivery/pickup service for any order, in whole or in part. Subject to the foregoing, if your order is accepted, and not cancelled prior to delivery, Metropolitan Market will fulfill your order as directed in return for your payment, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Additionally, by providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, you will be notified and your order may be suspended or cancelled if you do not resolve the issue promptly.
    3. Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable fees, taxes and charges, related to your online purchase. All fees, taxes and charges will be provided in the total at checkout, prior to you making any payment.
    4. Delivery/Pickup. Available delivery or pickup dates and times, and associated fees, delivery/pickup offers and promotions, will be shown during the ordering and checkout process. Times are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If you are picking up your order, you are responsible for picking your order up at the appropriate time and from the appropriate store. Any pickup orders not claimed by the applicable store’s closing time on the day they are ready for pickup will be canceled and the products restocked. We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee for orders that are restocked. We reserve the right to request that valid (non-expired, government issued) photo identification and/or the credit card used to place the applicable order be presented to the store attendant upon arrival to the designated pickup location for verification purposes.
    5. Receiving a Delivery or Pickup Order. Delivery orders without age-restricted products are delivered to the address you provide without the need for someone to be present to accept and/or sign. Pickup orders must be accepted by the customer who placed the order at the location selected for pickup. For verification purposes, we may request that you present your valid, government-issued photo identification and/or the payment card used for your pickup order. If your order contains alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and/or other age-restricted products, someone over the age of 21 must be present to accept and/or sign for delivery or pickup. Valid (non-expired, government issued) identification confirming the identity and age of the person accepting and signing for the delivery or pickup order will be required, regardless of age, where age-restricted products are in the order. The online purchased products will be retained by the delivery driver or by the store attendant for pickup orders, unless someone over the required minimum age is at the delivery address when the delivery or pickup is attempted. If there is no one of eligible age to accept the order on the selected delivery date, Metropolitan Market reserves the right to cancel the order. You will be responsible for contacting the appropriate Metropolitan Market customer service team, or third-party customer service team, to reschedule the delivery and answer any questions regarding your order status. We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee for orders that are restocked.
    6. Responsibility for Items After Delivery/Pickup. Metropolitan Market is not responsible for any orders once the order is picked up or delivered, including without limitation, for any theft, spoilage or damage.
    7. Missing or Unfulfilled Orders. If an order is unfulfilled or missing, you will need to contact the appropriate Metropolitan Market customer service team, or third-party customer service team, to reschedule the delivery and answer any questions.
    8. Rescheduling Deliveries. Scheduled deliveries may need to be rescheduled in the event weather, road conditions, unexpected delays, or other unforeseen and uncontrollable issues impede the ability to make any applicable delivery of an online order. If there will be a significant delay in delivering or preparing your order for pickup, we or a third party responsible for the order may (but are not obligated to) call, email or text you to let you know the status of your order. If your designated delivery location is inaccessible on the date and time specified for delivery (such as due to a street closure or other complications), we or a third party responsible for the order will provide you with a full refund of your order.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION, CLASS-ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY WAIVER
  • The terms of this Section 19 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Metropolitan Market and shall apply, without limitation, to all Disputes that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Metropolitan Market arising under or relating to your use and/or accessing of the Sites, this Agreement, or any other transaction involving you and Metropolitan Market, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND METROPOLITAN MARKET AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR Metropolitan Market FOR: (1) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION; (2) PATENT INFRINGEMENT; (3) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE; AND (4) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION.
  • Binding Arbitration. You and Metropolitan Market agree: (1) to arbitrate all Disputes between you and Metropolitan Market pursuant to the provision of this Agreement; (2) this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce; (3) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (notwithstanding the choice-of-law provision contained herein); and (4) this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.
  • Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Metropolitan Market must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Metropolitan Market must be addressed to legal@goodfoodholdings.com (“Metropolitan Market Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you, or via email if we do not have any such address on file. If Metropolitan Market and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Metropolitan Market may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each party agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
  • Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state, municipality, province or territory if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
  • WAIVER OF CLASS/REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS AND CLASS/REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND METROPOLITAN MARKET AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, YOU AND METROPOLITAN MARKET AGREE THAT NO DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED BY WAY OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES.
  • Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”); except the AAA may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, territorial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  • Hearing Format. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in Bellevue, Washington, but may proceed telephonically in the event the total amount of the claim does not exceed $2,500 U.S. dollars (if the claimant so chooses). In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Metropolitan Market or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Metropolitan Market is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
  • Arbitration Fees. Metropolitan Market will pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you, for all AAA (as applicable) filing, administration, and arbitration fees for any arbitration commenced by you or Metropolitan Market pursuant to this Agreement. You are responsible for all additional costs that you incur in the arbitration, including without limitation, fees for attorneys or expert witnesses.
  • Opt-Out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Agreement by sending a written letter to the Metropolitan Market Notice Address above within thirty (30) calendar days of your initial agreement to this Agreement (including your first use and/or accessing of the Sites) that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; (3) and your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedures set forth above, all other terms of this Agreement shall continue to apply.
  • Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Metropolitan Market agree that if Metropolitan Market makes any material amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class/representative action waiver provisions in this Agreement, Metropolitan Market will notify you and you will have thirty (30) calendar days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments by sending a written letter to the Metropolitan Market Notice Address that specifies: (1) your name; (2) your mailing address; and (3) your request to opt-out of such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in this Agreement, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments.
  • Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of this Agreement.
  • Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. Metropolitan Market and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class/representative action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the courts located within the State of Washington, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy.
  1. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION AND VENUE

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions or the laws of your state. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator finds any provision or portion of this Agreement to be unenforceable, the remaining portion of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

This Agreement is effective until terminated either by Metropolitan Market or you. We, in our sole discretion, may suspend or terminate this Agreement at any time with or without notice, and may deny you access to the Sites or any portion thereof as a result. You may also terminate this Agreement at any time by discontinuing your use of the Sites and terminating your account. Upon termination of this Agreement by us or you, you must destroy all materials obtained from the Sites, including any and all copies of such materials whether made under this Agreement or otherwise.

  1. NON-ASSIGNABILITY

You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

  1. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY; RELATIONSHIP

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Metropolitan Market. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then such invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the allocation or risks, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in effect. If any provision(s) is found to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) will be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. Any failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof. You agree that your Metropolitan Market account is non-transferable and all of your rights to your account terminate upon your death. No agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or other special relationship or employment is created as a result of this Agreement, and you may not make any representations on behalf of or bind Metropolitan Market.
