YOUCATER HOLDINGS LIMITED

WEBSITE TERMS OF USE

Please read these Website Terms of Use carefully before using the site.

1. ABOUT THESE TERMS

1.1 These Website Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.youcater.me and any related application (together, the “Platform”). The Platform is operated by YouCater Technologies Limited, a company established under the laws of the Abu Dhabi Global Market with trade licence
number 000010452 and registered address at WeWork Hub71, Al Khatem Tower, 16th Floor, ADGM Square, Al Maryah Island, PO Box 46617, Abu Dhabi, UAE (“YouCater”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
1.2 By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which forms part of them. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
1.3 These Terms contain disclaimers and provisions that limit our liability to you. Please read them carefully.
1.4 Bookings are governed by separate terms. These Terms govern your use of the Platform only. They do not govern the booking of catering services or venue services. Any booking you make through the Platform — including the fees payable, invoicing, payment, changes and cancellation — is governed by the booking terms and cancellation policy presented to you at the time of booking and, where applicable, by the quotation, booking confirmation or purchase order issued for your event. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and those booking terms in relation to a booking, the
booking terms prevail

2. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS AND TO THE PLATFORM

2.1 We may amend these Terms at any time by posting the revised version on the Platform. The revised Terms take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Platform after that time constitutes acceptance of them. Amendments apply prospectively only and do not affect any booking already confirmed before the amendment takes effect.
2.2 We recommend that you review these Terms each time you use the Platform. The “last updated” date at the top shows when they were last revised.
2.3 We may update, modify, suspend, withdraw or enhance any aspect of the Platform — including its tools, categories, features, listings and operational processes — at any time and without prior notice. We do not guarantee that the Platform, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted.

3. ELIGIBILITY AND YOUR ACCOUNT

3.1 You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform.
3.2 The Platform is made available for business purposes. If you use the Platform in the course of a business, you bind both yourself and the company or other legal entity that operates that business to
these Terms, and references to “you” are to both.
3.3 You are required to register and establish an account (“Account”) in order to access certain parts of the Platform. In doing so you will be asked to provide information that identifies you and any company you
work for.
3.4 You must keep your Account credentials confidential and you are responsible for all activity carried out under your Account. We will never ask you for your password; do not share it with anyone. Please
notify us immediately at contact@youcater.me if you believe your Account has been accessed without your authorisation.
3.5 You represent and warrant that all information you provide in connection with your Account is current, complete and accurate, and you agree to update it as necessary to keep it so.
3.6 We will not be liable for any loss you incur as a result of another person using your Account, whether or not with your knowledge.
3.7 We may, at our sole discretion, suspend your Account, cancel your Account, edit your Account details, or remove, reclaim or change a username that we consider inappropriate, obscene or otherwise
objectionable. Section 14 sets out the circumstances in which we may do so.
3.8 You may close your Account at any time through the Platform or by emailing contact@youcater.me.

4. WHAT THE PLATFORM DOES AND OUR ROLE

4.1 The Platform is an online marketplace that enables individuals and organisations to find, explore and contact providers of catering services and venue services (“Suppliers”), to request information and
proposals from them, and to arrange bookings.
4.2 We operate the Platform as a technology marketplace and intermediary only. We are not a catering, hospitality or venue operator, and we do not ourselves provide catering services or venue services. Those services are provided solely by the Supplier, directly to you.
4.3 Any contract for the provision of catering services or venue services is between you and the Supplier. We are not a party to it. The Supplier is solely responsible for the provision, quality, safety and legal compliance of the services it provides.
4.4 Where an event is arranged through a request for proposal process, we may appoint an account manager to coordinate communications between you and Suppliers. Doing so does not make us a party to any contract between you and a Supplier, and does not make us responsible for the services provided.
4.5 We do not guarantee that any Supplier will respond to a request, that any proposal will be made, or that any booking will be accepted.
4.6 We are not responsible for communications between you and a Supplier. Where a request or enquiry is submitted through the Platform, we receive and retain a record of it, but we are not required to act on it.

5. LICENCE TO USE THE PLATFORM

5.1 Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable, non-transferable licence to access and use the Platform. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved to us.
5.2 This licence terminates immediately, and without notice, if you breach these Terms or if your Account is suspended or cancelled.

6. OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PLATFORM CONTENT

6.1 We retain all right, title and interest in and to all intellectual property rights in the Platform and in the content on it, including the information, design, layout, look, appearance and graphics (the “Content”). Our logos and names are our trademarks and are registered in the United Arab Emirates.
6.2 You are granted a licence to view and use the Content on the Platform subject to these Terms. The Content may not be used, copied, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, decompiled or otherwise exploited for any other purpose whatsoever without our prior written consent. If you download or print a copy of any Content, you must retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained in it.

(f) to solicit, arrange or attempt to solicit or arrange transactions outside the Platform with a Supplier who was introduced to you through the Platform; or

service attack. By breaching this Section 7.3 you may be committing a criminal offence. We will report any such breach to the relevant law enforcement authorities and will co-operate with them by
disclosing your identity, and your right to use the Platform will cease immediately and automatically.
7.4 The financial consequences of arranging a booking off the Platform with a Supplier introduced to you through it are set out in the booking terms referred to in Section 1.4.

8. YOUR CONTENT AND REVIEWS

8.1 The Platform may offer you the opportunity to submit, post, display, transmit, perform, publish, distribute or broadcast content and materials, including photographs, text, data, questions, comments,

By submitting Your Content
you warrant that you have the right to grant this licence. To the extent permitted by law you waive all moral rights in Your Content and, to the extent that you are unable to waive them, you agree not to

8.6.
8.4 It is at our sole discretion whether we publish or otherwise make available Your Content. For the avoidance of doubt, you acknowledge and agree that we may:

support;

(k) is in breach of these Terms.
8.7 Unless you have our express permission to do so, you must not re-submit Your Content or other material or applications that have previously been removed.
8.8 You will indemnify us on demand, and keep us indemnified, against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs,
claims and expenses (including professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with any breach or alleged breach by you of this. Section 8. You further undertake to defend us against any claim or action by a third party that Your Content infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, and to indemnify us on demand against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, claims and expenses arising out of or in connection with any such claim.

9. SUPPLIER LISTINGS, THIRD-PARTY CONTENT AND LINKS
