4. OUR ROLE
4.1 Platform. We only provide the Platform that allows you to place Orders for F&B Items, and your contract with us only relates to your access to and use of the Service via the Platform. We do not provide any of the food, beverages or other F&B Items that you can purchase from a Restaurant Partner. Regarding F&B Items, we only act as commercial agents for our Restaurant Partners to collect payment for your F&B Items and to facilitate ordering from the platform.
4.2 F&B Items. The contract for the supply of any F&B Items you have ordered from a Restaurant Partner is only between you and the relevant Restaurant Partner and each Restaurant Partner is solely responsible for any F&B Items, information or materials given to you. As noted above, we simply facilitate a Platform that enables you to place Orders and pay for your F&B Items. We do not provide any of the food, beverages or other F&B Items that you can purchase from a Restaurant Partner and we are not responsible or liable for the preparation or supply of any F&B Items, or for any other act (or failure to act) by a Restaurant Partner.

This estimated time is not guaranteed either by Growth Kitchen or our Restaurant Partners. You must ensure that you arrive to pick up your F&B Items at the estimated time for collection. Our Restaurant Partners will hold your F&B Items for 15 minutes after the estimated time for collection, and if you fail to pick up the F&B Items within 15 minutes, our Restaurant Partners may dispose of those F&B Items, and you will not be issued with a refund.
5.3 While Restaurant Partners strive to ensure timely order preparation, there may be instances where an order is not ready within the specified timeframe or the Restaurant Partner needs to communicate changes regarding your order. If you have provided your contact details during the ordering process, the Restaurant Partner will make reasonable efforts to get in touch with you in such situations. However, please note that we cannot guarantee reaching you in all circumstances. We recommend ensuring that the contact information provided is accurate and up to date to facilitate effective communication regarding your order.
