(e) If either party fails to make a payment to the other party as required under the terms of this Agreement, the non- defaulting party may declare any amounts actually or contingently owing by the defaulting party to the non- defaulting party to be immediately due and payable.

(f) If either party fails to pay any amounts when due, then in addition to any other amount payable under this Agreement, the defaulting party must pay to the non- defaulting party upon demand any costs incurred in connection with enforcement of any of the non- defaulting party’s rights under this Agreement including without limitation:

Annexure to Schedule 1: DELIVERY PROCEDURES

  1. Qualifying Delivery Request

A Qualifying Delivery Request is a request for delivery submitted by a Customer (or you) which must:

  • contain a clear and accurate Delivery Location, which must be within the Delivery Radius; 
  • relate to Products that you have legal authority to sell and deliver;
  • relate to Products in respect of which you have provided us with all necessary details, in particular without limitation any Dangerous Goods packaging, storing and transit requirements (and necessary certifications), refrigerated vehicle requirements, two (or more) person delivery requirements or similar instructions, products requiring ID checks; and
  • relate to Products that are legally compliant in terms of their nature, condition and packaging, and labelling and that you can and will pick and pack so as to maintain legal compliance and that can withstand the ordinary risks of delivery and storage.
  1. Delivery Time (options) - Aligned with the operating hours of the Merchant

Customers are given the following Delivery Times for Delivery Services:

  • FAST – a Delivery Service within the shortest possible pick-up time and delivery window from receipt by Rendr of a Qualifying Delivery Request (i.e. a Delivery Time of no more than 3 hours).
  • SAME DAY– a Delivery Service with a same day or next day pick-up and delivery window from receipt by Rendr of a Qualifying Delivery Request.
  1. Delivery process / requirements
  • The Delivery Services are provided on the basis that, if a customer is not at the delivery address at the Delivery Time, the Customer grants us an authority to leave the Products in a safe place at the Delivery Address. Customers may provide details of any specific safe place to leave the Products. In this case, proof of delivery will be provided to Customers (excluding any prescription medicine and alcohol). 
  • If Customer completes Product Purchase Transaction outside of a Merchant’s nominated Cut-off/Collection Times, earliest Delivery Time option will be within the during the Merchant’s next Collection Times.
  • A Delivery is considered ‘complete’ when the Rendr Carrier presses delivered on their device, or the order is updated by Rendr on behalf of the Rendr Carrier and the status of the order changes to ‘delivered’ on our site and the Merchant’s dashboard. 
  • Issue ‘Delivery complete’ confirmation when the carrier presses delivered on their device, and the status of the order changes to ‘delivered’ on our site and the Merchant’s dashboard. 
  1. Delivery Protocols  
  • For all deliveries, Customers and you will be provided with an estimated delivery time; for certain deliveries (e.g. alcohol or prescription medications) you and your customers must be available to accept physical delivery of the relevant Product and comply with the necessary ID and age checks (as applicable). 
  • Unfortunately, despite our and the Rendr Carrier Network’s (RCN) best efforts, things do not always go to plan and factors such as traffic, demand and weather conditions may prevent us from delivering orders on time. However, we will always endeavour to work with you and also your customers to make things right.
  • The Rendr Carrier partner will attempt delivery at the address you provided to us when your customers place their order. If your customer needs to change the delivery location after they have placed their order, schedule availability and time permitting, we may be able to change the address to an alternative one if you let us know before the Rendr Carrier Network has been dispatched, and the new address is within the same zone and sufficiently proximate to the original address. If we cannot change the delivery address, you have the option to cancel the order, but you will be charged the full Delivery Price.
  • You will still be charged for the delivery in the event of a failed delivery if you or your customer has caused such failure for any reason. Reasons a delivery may fail include (but are not limited to):   
  • Your customer does not come to the door within a reasonable time or does not pick up the phone when Rendr’s Delivery Experience team contacts them using the contact information you have provided us and/or your Customer picked up the phone but then failed to provide access within a reasonable amount of time, if the Rendr Carrier is unable to find a safe location to leave the parcel.

  • The Rendr carrier partner refuses to deliver the parcel to your customer in accordance with our below Age Restricted Product guidelines.
  1. Age Restricted Product Guidelines [where applicable to the products being delivered]
  • Age restricted products (including, but not limited to alcohol, cigarettes and prescription medications) can only be sold and delivered to persons aged 18 or over.
  • By requesting a delivery for an age restricted product, you confirm that your customer is at least 18 years old. Rendr Carrier partners operate an age verification policy whereby customers ordering age restricted products will be asked by the Rendr carrier partner to provide proof that they are aged 18 or over before the delivery is completed. 
  • Note, Rendr carrier partners may refuse to deliver any age restricted product to any person unless they can provide valid photo ID proving that they are 18 or over. Rendr Carriers will refuse to deliver alcohol to any person who is or appears to be under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. If delivery of any age restricted product is refused, you will still be charged for the cost of the original delivery as well as the cost of the return delivery to the location the delivery was picked up from.
