Welcome to AAHI!

These terms and conditions apply to any use of the AAHI and to the purchase agreements between a supplier and consumer. This terms and conditions shall be understood and complied with in a spirit of good faith and fair dealing. If you do not agree to these terms - do not use AAHI.
1. General
1.1 AAHI by Apex Labs is a platform developed by Apex Labs s.r.o. (IČO: 07874251) registered at Korunní 2569⁄108, Vinohrady, 101 00 Praha, Czech Republic. For the purpose of these terms, AAHI or platform mean services provided by Apex Labs s.r.o. and related companies via the mobile and web applications.
1.2 AAHI is an online digital marketplace for discounted food and food-related products. AAHI fulfils this purpose by providing an online cloud platform where suppliers can publish their offers and consumers can find and subsequently purchase those offers directly from suppliers using AAHI as a search, reservation and payment service.
1.3 As such, AAHI does not produce, transport or handle any food or food-related products. AAHI has no means to control, and therefore bears no responsibility in regard, but not limiting to, the offer description, quality, handling, freshness and delivery as these are in full control and under the responsibility of supplier.
1.4 The legal contract for the supply and purchase of orders is therefore between a consumer and relevant supplier. As mentioned above AAHI has no control over the actions or omissions of any supplier. These terms apply solely to AAHI services: search, reservation and payment.
1.5 Supplier is a shop, restaurant, cafe, bakery, hotel, catering or any other establishment that produces, processes and/or handles food or food-related products. By accepting these terms the supplier self-certifies to be properly licensed and be fully compliant with the applicable laws and regulations and to be operating in accordance with the general terms and conditions and accepted practices of the related segment of the food industry. The individual accepting these terms on behalf of the supplier hereby certifies to have sufficient authority within the supplier organization (by being either an executive or manager duly authorized by the supplier) to enter into legal agreement with AAHI on behalf of supplier.
1.6 Consumer is a person, a group of people or an entity who use AAHI services solely for the purpose of finding, reserving and paying for the offers published by suppliers. By accepting these terms the consumer certifies to be of legal age and have legal authority to accept these terms. In case consumer is an entity (for example: food-bank), the individual accepting these terms certifies to have the right and authority to accept these terms on behalf of such entity.
1.7 Offer is listing of food or food-related product published by supplier on AAHI platform to sell it with a discount directly to consumer.
1.8 Order is a fully paid purchase of one or more offers from the same supplier.
1.9 Latest Pickup Time (LPT) is the latest time for a purchased order to be collected from supplier by consumer before the order is canceled without a possibility of refund. LPT is pre-configured by the supplier at the time of publishing the offer and is normally connected to the closing time of the supplier shop or the actual expected expiration of quick-spoiling offers. By placing an order the consumer agrees to collect such order before the LPT with the full knowledge of the fact that failing this, the order will be canceled without a refund due to the quick-spoiling nature of certain foods.
1.10 User is used throughout these terms and conditions meaning either a consumer, supplier or both, when these terms apply to them equally.
1.11 User account. In order to use AAHI a user (consumer or supplier) must create a user account by following registration instructions or automatically using a third-party account such as Google or Facebook. User accounts are strictly personal and only one user account is allowed by AAHI user.
1.12 A user has a possibility to register a user account with AAHI using the credentials from certain third party social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, Google, etc). In that case the user hereby certifies to be the sole owner of any such social media account and that user is entitled to disclose the social media login information to us. User authorizes AAHI to collect required authentication information, and other information that may be available on or through your social media account consistent with user applicable settings and instructions.
1.13 Payment provider is a third party (such as Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay etc) that collects payments from consumer for the purchase of order on behalf of AAHI via a range of payment methods such as credit card, direct debit, mobile phone payments etc
2. Services
2.1 Search service
2.1.1 Supplier publishes offers on AAHI platform either via the AAHI partner’s portal, or via the AAHI Sell mobile application or programmatically via the AAHI supplier’s API. The supplier has full control and responsibility of the offer content, such as, but not limiting to: offer title, description, price, discount, quantity available for sale and offer expiration and possible pick up times. Such offers become visible to the consumers at the moment of offer starting time and until offer expiration time or until such an offer is sold out, all of which is controlled by supplier via the partner portal or mobile application.
2.1.2 Consumers find offers via the AAHI mobile or web application based on location, price and other parameters and subsequently purchase the offer directly from the supplier using AAHI reservation and payment service.
2.2 Reservation and Payment service
2.2.1 When consumer decides to purchase an offer directly from the supplier they can reserve and pre-pay this offer using AAHI. An offer can be reserved by purchasing the offer using one of the payment providers and payment methods available in the consumer region. This creates an active order in AAHI. One order can contain one or more offers but only from the same supplier.
2.2.2 Once the order is paid via AAHI application, it is effectively purchased by consumer with the immediate effect. Keeping in mind that the offer is already discounted and the quick-spoiling nature of food and food related products once the offer is purchased, the responsibility to pick-up the order before the LPT (latest pick-up time) lies entirely with the consumer, failing which results in automatic order cancellation without a possibility of refund.
2.2.2 Therefore, once the order is paid there is no possibility for consumer to cancel the purchase or request a refund. Because of this, AAHI has a special extra confirmation screen before the payment of the order and finalizing the purchase, highlighting the fact that a refund is not possible after payment.
2.2.3 A supplier on other hand has a right to refuse or cancel/refund a placed and paid order, however only for compelling reasons such as medical emergency or similar extraordinary circumstance. In that case the consumer will be notified immediately by AAHI and an instant full refund will be issued by AAHI to the consumer automatically.
2.2.4 When order is placed and paid by consumer the related supplier will receive a notification from the AAHI that a new order is waiting to be accepted. Supplier can configure an automatic order acceptation at the time of publishing an offer. In case of automatic acceptation the order will be accepted by AAHI automatically. In case of manual acceptation the supplier has to accept the order via the partner portal or mobile application within a period of 15 minutes from the moment the order is placed by consumer after which period the order will be automatically cancelled and refunded.
2.2.5 After accepting the order, either manually or automatically, the supplier will prepare the order for pick-up in accordance with the supplier approved procedures and regulations. When an order is ready-for pick-up the supplier will mark it as such via partner portal or mobile application. The supplier has also an option to configure AAHI to mark an order as “ready for pickup” automatically either immediately on accepting the orderk, or after a certain period of time. In that case this step is done automatically by AAHI.
2.2.6 When an order is manually marked “ready for pick up” by supplier or automatically by AAHI, consumer will receive a notification from AAHI that the order is ready for pick up containing the order number and a secret code.
2.2.7 The consumer will then be able to pick-up the order directly from supplier and will provide to the supplier the order number and the secret code that was received from AAHI. Without this information the supplier will not be able to identify the order and the consumer and therefore won’t be able to hand over the order. This system is necessary to protect the privacy of consumer.
2.2.8 When supplier receives the order number and the secret code from consumer the supplier will enter this information into the partner portal or mobile application and if it matches the data in AAHI the platform will instruct the supplier to hand over the order to consumer.
2.2.9 If the information does not match the consumer should contact AAHI support via chat, e-mail or via phone in the regions where phone support is available.
2.2.10 The supplier will not hand over the order to consumer if consumer can not provide the correct order number and secret code.
2.2.11 It is the responsibility of consumer to note the order number and secret code in case consumer mobile device breakdown. Losing the order number and/or secret code does not substitute a ground for a refund.
2.2.12 Consumer is encouraged to rate the order after pick-up and consumption via the mobile application rate function and leave any comments positive or negative regarding the ordering experience, order quality, supplier or AAHI in general.
3. Payments
3.1 AAHI acts as a payment proxy between consumer and supplier. For convenience, AAHI issues receipts and refund notes to consumers on behalf of supplier. These invoices automatically contain the relevant tax information as provided by supplier such as supplier legal name, supplier tax registration number and tax rate, relevant for the supplier.
3.2 Despite of specifying the relevant tax on the consumer receipts, AAHI does not withhold any taxes from the payments of consumers to suppliers. Paying all relevant taxes to the tax authorities is sole responsibility of supplier.
3.3 All prices visible on AAHI platform to supplier and consumers are tax-inclusive, meaning that the price includes all relevant taxes.
3.4 When supplier publishes an offer on AAHI the supplier will choose the offer base/starting price and a number of fixed or progressive discounts that are automatically applied by AAHI to the base price of the offer. The actual price of the offer is automatically determined by AAHI at the time of the order payment and displayed to the consumer as the order total in the confirmation screen. This price will depend on the base price configured by supplier and the discounts active at the time of purchase. Supplier can see the forecast offer price at the times of future discounts activations in the offer publishing screen of the partner portal.
3.5 AAHI is not responsible for any losses or damages resulting from supplier mis-configuring the offer price and/or discounts. If such error is discovered by supplier before an order is handed over to consumer, the supplier has a possibility to refund the order and un-list and then re-list the offer. However, it should be noted that these actions may negatively affect supplier ratings by consumer.
3.6 AAHI collects payments for purchasing of orders from consumers via payment providers using one of the payment methods available in the consumer region (for example: credit card, Apple pay, bank account direct debit, etc) as chosen by the consumer.
3.7 All payments between consumer and supplier are processed by AAHI and once an order is paid by consumer all payment obligations of consumer to supplier in regard to this order are full-filled, meaning that no extra payments are to be collected by supplier from consumer at the time of order pickup.
3.8 AAHI charges consumers no extra or hidden fees on top of the final order price displayed in the order confirmation screen of AAHI mobile application.
3.9 AAHI pays out supplier the total of all payments collected from consumers for processed orders minus the service fee / commission agreed between the supplier and AAHI.
3.10 AAHI transfers these payments to suppliers after with-holding a commission for AAHI services at regular intervals. The exact intervals, payment methods and the commission rates are agreed individually with each supplier and depend on the region of the supplier, supplier status (launch partner, early partner, etc) and the order volume tier of the supplier and are visible to the supplier via the partner portal in the active contract section. This section of the partner portal forms a legal appendix to these terms. The supplier must accept the agreed intervals and the commission rates in the partner portal before publishing offers in AAHI and this fact is registered by AAHI electronically.
3.11 Payments can be made in any currencies at the rate on the day of payment.
