MyChef™ is a platform brands can use to expand their reach. We currently have professional chefs, bakers, home-based cooks and businesses, and awesome Filipino brands and flavours as Partners.

Our platform allows buyers to pay through many options so it creates a bigger buying market.

What makes us different is that MyChef™ is not just a repository for restaurant listings or grocery items; we also feature curated flavors, brands, and products, and culinary services from professionals.

MyChef™ does not have immediate and limited control of the content contained in any Partners’ listing menu and the condition, legality or suitability of any kitchen or food, the sale of which is facilitated by MyChef™ .

MyChef™ is not responsible for and disclaims, any and all liability related to any and all food sold. Any food sold or purchased will be made or accepted at the member's own risk.

You understand and agree that MyChef™ is not a party to any agreements entered into between Partners and Buyers, nor is MyChef™ an agent, restaurant, café, caterer or any other provider of food or food related services. MyChef™ has no control over the conduct of Partners, Buyers, and other users of the Site or any food, and disclaims all liability in this regard to the maximum extent permitted by law. MyChef™ has the right to cancel all registrations made by Partners and Buyers for a valid reason such as due to misconduct etc.

As a MyChef™ Partner, you are responsible for all aspects of food preparation, health and safety compliance, certifications, compliance with laws, customer service and service delivery.

You acknowledge and agree that, as a Partner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions and are also responsible for the acts and omissions of any individuals who may assist in the preparation and delivery of food and creation of menus’ or who may assist in any other way that arises out of or relates to the use of this Site and or the supply of services.

Both Buyers and Partners agree to cooperate with and assist MyChef™ in good faith, and to provide MyChef™ with such information and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by MyChef™ in connection with any complaints or claims made by Members relating to the provision of the Partner’s services.

You can also register to join by logging into your account with certain third-party social networking sites ("SNS") (including, but not limited to, Facebook; each such account, a "Third-Party Account"), via our Site, as described below. As part of the functionality of the Site, you may link your MyChef™ Account with Third-Party Accounts, by either:

• Providing your Third-Party Account login information to MyChef™ through the Site; or
• Allowing MyChef™ to access your Third-Party Account, as permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account.

You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to MyChef™ and/or grant MyChef™ access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein), without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating MyChef™ to pay any fees or making MyChef™ subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers.

By granting MyChef™ access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that MyChef™ will access, make available and store (if applicable) any Content that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account ("SNS Content") so that it is available on and through the Site via your MyChef™ Account and MyChef™ Account profile page.

All SNS Content, if any, will be considered to be Member Content for all purposes of these Terms.

Your relationship with the third-party service providers associated with your third-party accounts is governed solely by your agreement(s) with such third-party service providers.

MyChef™ is not responsible for any SNS Content.

Your MyChef™ Account and your MyChef™ Account profile page will be created for your use of the Site based upon the personal information you provide to us or that we obtain via an SNS as described above. You may not have more than one (1) active MyChef™ Account.

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete.

MyChef™ reserves the right to suspend or terminate your MyChef™ Account and your access to the Site if you create more than one (1) MyChef™ Account, or if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, fraudulent, not current or incomplete.

You are responsible for safeguarding your password.

You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your MyChef™ Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions.

You will immediately notify MyChef™ of any unauthorized use of your MyChef™ Account.

As a Partner, you may create Menus. To create a Menu, you will be asked a variety of questions about the food, including, but not limited to, the location, capacity, cleanliness, ingredients, cooking methods, packaging, food allergens, features, and lead time of your proposed Menu and pricing.

In order to be featured in Menus via the Site, all Partners must provide a valid physical address of the premises in which the food will be made. Menus will be made publicly available via the Site. 

Other Members will be able to order from your Menu via the Site based upon the information provided in your Menu. You understand and agree that once a buyer requests an order from your Menu, you may not request the buyer to pay a higher price than in the purchase request.

You acknowledge and agree that you alone are responsible for any and all Menus and Member Content you post. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that any Menu you post will (i) be in compliance with all applicable laws (such as food safety laws and zoning laws), Tax requirements, and rules and regulations that may apply to any Menu you post (including having all required permits, licenses and registrations), and (ii) not conflict with the rights of third parties (for example the Intellectual Property or menu items of an existing restaurant, bakery, café, caterer or similar business).

MyChef™ assumes no responsibility for a Partner’s compliance with any agreements with or duties to third parties, applicable laws, rules and regulations.

MyChef™ reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Menu for any reason, including Menus that MyChef™ in its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or MyChef™'s then-current Policies and Community Guidelines, or otherwise harmful to the Site provision of the services.

If you are a Partner, you understand and agree that MyChef™ does not act as an insurer or as your contracting agent. If a buyer requests an order from your Menu and purchases your food, any agreement or transaction you enter into with such buyer is between you and the buyer, and MyChef™ is not a party to it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, MyChef™ serves as the limited authorized payment collection agent of the Partner for the purpose of accepting, on behalf of the Partner, payments from Buyers of such amounts stipulated by the Partner (including delivery or other fees and/or Taxes).

If you are a Partner, MyChef™ makes certain tools available to you to help you to make informed decisions about which Members you choose to accept orders from for your Menu. You acknowledge and agree that, as a Partner, you are responsible for your own acts and omissions, and your own decisions about acceptance, or otherwise, of buyer's orders.

MyChef™ recommends that Partners obtain appropriate insurance for selling food from their Menu. Please review any insurance policy that you may have for your Menu carefully, and in particular please make sure that you are familiar with and understand any exclusions to, and any deductibles that may apply for, such insurance policy, including, but not limited to, whether or not your insurance policy will cover the action or inaction of Buyers.

Unless otherwise outrightly indicated, MyChef™ does not endorse any Member or any Menu. No reference or description on the Site is an endorsement, certification or guarantee by MyChef™ about any Member, including of the Member's identity and whether the Member is trustworthy, safe or suitable. We do recommend that you always exercise due diligence and care when deciding whether to order food from a Menu or to have any other interaction with any other Member.

Buyers and Partners may be asked to rate Members. Members must be honest and accurate in their appraisals. No Member rating is an endorsement, certification or guarantee by MyChef™ about any Member.

MyChef™ may also upload icons and display those icons on Menus or Member profiles. The icons indicate that Members have performed services in accordance with criteria predetermined by MyChef™. The notation is merely an indication that the prescribed criteria has been met and is not an endorsement, certification or guarantee by MyChef™ about any Member.

By using the Site you agree that any legal remedy or liability that you seek to obtain for actions or omissions of other Members or other third parties will be limited to a claim against the particular Member/s or other third parties who caused you harm.

You agree not to attempt to impose liability on or seek any legal remedy on MyChef™ with respect to such acts or omissions.

This limitation shall not apply to any claim by a Partner against MyChef™ regarding the remittance of payments received from a Buyers by MyChef™ on behalf of a Partners, which instead shall be subject to the limitations described in the section below entitled "Limitation of Liability".

In consideration for the use of the Site and utilization of the services, MyChef™ charges fees to Partners and Buyers ("Charges").

As part of the registration process, Partners and Buyers will be notified of the Charges. Where applicable, Taxes may also be charged in respect of the Charges.

All credit card details are protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. Credit card details are handled by leading PCI compliant providers of secure credit card processing solutions, like Paypal in this case.

MyChef™ does not save your credit card information. Rather, MyChef™ keeps a non-sensitive reference to your credit card details (called a token) which is then linked to your MyChef™ Account. This token is provided to us by the payment provider—or Paypal in our case, and allows MyChef™ to provide an option for you to use the same mode of payment for future transactions with us without MyChef™ holding any sensitive information. If, at any time, you wish the token to be removed please email tasteexperience@mychef.ph and we will have your token(s) removed.

MyChef™ shall deduct Charges due by the Partners from the payments of services from the buyer. Balances will be remitted by MyChef™ to Partners via cheque, PayPal, direct deposit, or other payment methods.

As between you and MyChef™, MyChef™reserves the right to establish, remove and/or revise Charges for any or all services or goods obtained through the use of the services at any time in MyChef™'s sole discretion. We will notify you of all changes.

MyChef™ may from time to time provide certain users with promotional offers and discounts that may result in different amounts charged for the same or similar services or goods obtained through the use of the services, and you agree that such promotional offers and discounts, unless also made available to you, shall have no bearing on your use of the services or the Charges applied to you.

If you order through the Site you are required to immediately pay the agreed fees of the services provided by the Partner (“Service Fees”).

After you have ordered services or goods obtained through your use of the Site, MyChef™ will facilitate your payment of the Service Fees on behalf of the Partners as the Partners' limited payment collection agent.

Service Fees will be inclusive of applicable taxes where required by law. Service Fees paid by you are final and non-refundable, unless otherwise determined by MyChef™.

All Service Fees will be processed by MyChef™ using the preferred payment method designated in your MyChef™ Account, after which MyChef™ will send you a receipt by email. If your primary MyChef™ Account payment method is determined to be expired, invalid or otherwise not able to be charged, you agree that MyChef™ may, as the Partners’ limited payment collection agent, use a secondary payment method in your MyChef™ Account, if available.

Partners forwards MyChef™ their Service Fees on a weekly basis (subject to public holidays). The minimum transfer amount is Php1,000.00. Where the Service Fee amount due to MyChef™ is less than Php1,000.00, the funds will be transferred on the next transfer date once the amount exceeds Php1,000.00. Service Fee transfers from MyChef™ are made on completed orders only – this means the Partners must have made the food and the Buyers must have received the food (via pick-up or delivery).

Refunds to Buyers will be at the discretion of MyChef™ who is responsible in its capacity as the Partners' limited payment collection agent for all refunds to cardholders. In the event MyChef™ determines at its sole discretion that a refund is necessary, MyChef™ reserves the right to deduct funds from the Service Fees due to Partners on the next transfer date. Please contact tasteexperience@mychef.ph for any queries.

Some Partners may pledge to donate a portion of the funds they receive from confirmed orders made via the Site to a particular cause or charity. MyChef™ does not take any responsibility or liability for whether the Partners do in fact make the donation he or she pledged to make. In such cases, the Partner in question is responsible for his or her own compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to such pledges and/or fund-raising.

Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. MyChef™ may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given by MyChef™ (i) via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

These Terms and your use of the services will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Philippines. You and we agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of that country.

Claims between Members

MyChef™ may, but is not obliged to investigate claims by Members in relation to the provision of services by Partners to Buyers.

All claims by or between Members are personal to those Members and MyChef™ is released and discharged from all claims and liabilities in relation to such claims.

Claims between MyChef™ and Members

You and MyChef™ agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, (collectively, "Disputes") will initially be subject to mediation, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

The failure of MyChef™ to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.

The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative of MyChef™.

Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.

If for any reason an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

These Terms do not and are not intended to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the payment card networks are third party beneficiaries of these Terms for purposes of enforcing provisions related to payments, but that their consent or agreement is not necessary for any changes or modifications to these Terms.

Nothing contained in these Terms shall constitute the relationship of Partnership, joint venture, principal and agent or employer and employee between any of the parties. Save as expressly permitted under these Terms, no party may act nor has the authority to act as agent of, or to bind any other party to any obligation and no party shall hold itself out as being the agent of the other party or as having the authority to bind the other party.
