3. About YOU & Ordering alcohol or tobacco

3.1 Capacity and age: By placing an Order through the Website, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and you are at least 18 years old.

3.2 You acknowledge and agree that: it is an offense for any person under the age of 18 to buy, or attempt to buy, intoxicating liquor, or for any person over the age of 18 to buy intoxicating liquor on behalf of any person under the age of 18. In the event that you place an order for alcohol or tobacco products, you will be required by the Restaurant to show identification upon delivery of the Order. For the avoidance of doubt, if your Order includes alcohol or tobacco, the Restaurant is providing you with these and Town Around is not selling alcohol or tobacco to you.

 

4.MAKING AN ORDER AND HOW IT IS PROCESSED

4.1 Once you select the relevant products or services you wish to order either from the menu of your chosen Restaurant or reserve a table at your chosen Restaurant, or from a service offering from one of the Transport Providers or Accommodation Providers and you provide other required information (the “Order”) you will be given the opportunity to submit your Order by clicking or selecting the "proceed", "place my order", "checkout" or similar button. It is important that you check all the information that you enter and correct any errors before clicking or selecting this button; once you do so we will process your Order and errors cannot be corrected.

4.2 If a Restaurant, Transport Provider or Accommodation Provider has a minimum order amount in place or any other order restriction, you may not place an order with that provider until the value of your Order exceeds that amount or meets the restriction requirement. Any minimum order amount must be met after applying any discounts or specials that reduce the total Order amount.

4.3 Once you submit your Order and your payment has been authorized, you will not be entitled to change or cancel your Order online (please refer to 4.4 below for details of the process relating to rejected Orders). If you wish to change or cancel your Order, you may contact the Restaurant, Transport Provider or Accommodation Provider (the “Relevant Provider”) directly or our team as described below and we will attempt to contact the Relevant Provider in order to communicate your requests. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach the Relevant Provider or that the Relevant Provider will agree to your requests as they may have already started to process your Order.

4.4 Where any payment you make is not authorised, your Order will not be processed by or communicated to the relevant provider.

4.5 On receipt of your Order, we will begin processing it by sending it to the Relevant Provider and will notify you by email that your Order has been received and is being processed. Any confirmation page that you may see on the website/Product and any Order confirmation e-mail that you may receive each merely indicate that your Order has been received and is being processed by us, and does not necessarily mean that your Order has been accepted by the Relevant Provider. Relevant Providers have the discretion to reject Orders at any time because they are too busy, due to weather conditions or for any other reason. We encourage all our Restaurant partners, Transport Providers, and Accommodation Providers to accept all Orders and to communicate any rejection promptly, and we will notify you (generally by email) as soon as reasonably practicable if a Relevant Provider rejects your Order. When a Relevant Provider confirms receipt of your Order and expected collection or delivery time (where relevant), we may send you an email with the Order update.  

4.6 For Restaurant and takeaway services, estimated times for deliveries and collections are provided by the Restaurants and are only estimates. However, agreed times for table reservations must be strictly adhered to. Neither we nor the Restaurants guarantee that Orders will be delivered or will be available for collection within the estimated times and table reservations will be held for at least 15 minutes if you are late. All food preparation and deliveries are the sole responsibility of the Restaurant accepting the Order. To the extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, Town Around accepts no liability associated with food preparation or delivery by the Restaurant accepting the order.

 

5. PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1 Prices for individual menu items at Restaurants, transport costs at Transport Providers, or accommodation at Accommodation Providers will be available on the Product. These prices include any applicable taxes but may exclude delivery costs (if you opt for delivery instead of collection) and any online payment administration charge imposed by the Relevant Provider (if you pay for your Order online). These will be added to the total amount due where applicable.

5.2 Our Product contains a large number of items and menus and it is possible that some of the items may include incorrect prices. The products will be sold for the displayed price even if the correct price for an Order is higher than the price stated on the Website.

5.3 Payment for Orders may be made by an accepted credit or debit card either through the Product or at the Relevant Provider at the point of delivery to you.

5.4 If you pay by credit or debit card, you may be required to show the card to the Relevant Provider at the time of delivery as proof of identification and so that they can check that the card conforms with the receipt data for the Order. Please note that from time to time there may be delays with the processing of card payments and transactions; this may result in delays in sums being deducted from your bank account or charged to your credit or debit card.

5.5 If you have submitted an Order that you are paying for by credit or debit card and your payment has been authorised, you will be charged the full amount of your Order. If your Order is subsequently rejected by the Relevant Provider or cancelled for any other reason, your bank or card issuer will refund the relevant amount. However, this may take between 3 to 5 working days (or longer, depending on your bank or card issuer). You acknowledge and agree that neither we nor the Relevant Provider will be responsible or liable to you in relation to this delay by your bank or card issuer in the release of funds back into your account.

 

6. CUSTOMER RELATIONS

6.2 If your Order is taking longer than expected or you have any other problems with your Order, in the first instance you should contact the Relevant Provider directly. Alternatively, you can contact us as described above and one of our team will attempt to contact the Relevant Provider in order to follow up on your query.

6.3 If you wish to change or cancel your Order after it has been submitted and payment has been authorized, you may contact us as described above and we will attempt to contact the Relevant Provider in order to communicate your requests. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach the Relevant Provider or that the Relevant Provider will agree to your requests as they may have already started to process your Order.

6.4 In the event that you would like to express your opinion on the quality of a Relevant Provider, please consider providing feedback in the form of ratings, comments, and reviews on our Product. The reviews are an important part of our quality control process.

6.5 If you are dissatisfied with any service provided by a Relevant Provider and wish to seek a refund, a proportionate price reduction or any other compensation, you should contact the Relevant Provider directly to lodge your complaint and, where appropriate, follow the Relevant Provider's own complaint procedures. If you are unable to contact the Relevant Provider, or the Relevant Provider refuses to deal with your complaint, you can contact us as described above within 48 hours of placing your Order and we will attempt to contact the Relevant Provider in order to request compensation on your behalf. Please note that we have no control over Relevant Providers and the quality of the individual products or services that they provide, and we are not able to provide, and have no responsibility or liability for providing, any compensation to you on behalf of any Relevant Provider.
