(a) These terms and conditions (these “Terms”) are the only terms that govern the provision of services by Food Truck Feeds, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“Company”), to you or your entity or organization (collectively, the “Food Truck”). These Terms are a binding contract between Company and the Food Truck, which means that if the Food Truck uses the Services (defined below), the Food Truck acknowledges and agrees that the Food Truck has read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms.
(b) These Terms comprise the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and warranties, and communications, both written and oral.
(c) These Terms prevail over the Food Truck’s terms and conditions, if any, regardless of whether or when Food Truck has submitted its registration form. Listing of the Food Truck on Company’s list of food trucks and Company’s provision of the Services to the Food Truck do not constitute acceptance of any of the Food Truck’s terms and conditions and do not serve to modify or amend these Terms.
(a) In accordance with these Terms, Company provides coordination services (the “Services”) between qualified food trucks and third parties such as a place of business, an event coordinator, or a private person (each, a “Client” and collectively, the “Clients”) that wish to book one or more food trucks for their places of business or events (each, an “Event”). On Company’s website (https://www.foodtruckfeeds.com/), Company maintains a list of Events that are available for the Food Truck to self-book from the Food Truck’s account with the Company or Street Food Finder. At the sole discretion of Company, Company may invite the Food Truck to book an Event via e-mail or other contact method provided by the Food Truck.
(b) The Food Truck is required to register and create an account on Company’s website to use the Services. During the registration process for the Food Truck account, the Food Truck must provide Company with the Food Truck’s email address and a password (that together will serve as the Food Truck’s login credentials) and the Food Truck may be required to provide additional information, such as its name and phone number. The Food Truck understands and agrees that it is the Food Truck’s responsibility to ensure that its password remains confidential and secure.
(c) Upon the Food Truck’s registration with Company, Company shall determine if the Food Truck is qualified to be listed on Company’s website as a potential food truck available for booking by the Clients. The Food Truck acknowledges that registration with Company does not guarantee that the Food Truck will be listed on Company’s website as a qualified food truck with the ability to book an Event. In order to qualify the Food Truck, Company may: (i) perform an on-site inspection of the Food Truck, including sampling the food and reviewing the menu for applicability for the Clients; (ii) review the certificate(s) of insurance provided by the Food Truck for the required insurance coverage set forth in Section 13 below and any other insurance coverage required by the Clients at the time of the booking for an Event, as applicable; and (iii) review the health permits, as applicable, provided by the Food Truck upon the Food Truck’s registration with the Company to confirm they are not expired. If so qualified, Company will send a welcome email to the Food Truck, and the Food Truck will then have the ability to book Events.
(d) The Food Truck acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Company makes no warranties oral, express, written, or otherwise of profitability or projected outcomes or satisfaction of the Clients; and (ii) the Food Truck shall remain obligated for all booking fees due under these Terms regardless of the profitability of the Event or the Clients’ satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the Food Truck’s performance.
(e) Company may provide (i) information and content provided by third parties (for example, the Clients or Street Food Finder); and (ii) links to third-party websites or resources (for example, links to the Clients’ or Street Food Finder’s social media pages). Company is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for (x) any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such third parties; (y) any errors or omissions by such third parties; or (z) any information handling practices or other business practices of such third parties. The Food Truck further acknowledge and agree that Company shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any third-party websites, products, services, or other resources. The Food Truck’s interactions with such third parties will be governed by the third parties’ own terms of service, privacy policy, and any other similar terms.
