OUR TERMS OF USE

This document (along with any document referred in it) sets out the terms and conditions for accessing and using Labaiik platform and regulates our relationship with you (“Terms of Use”). Therefore, please read these Terms of Use before using the Labaiik mobile application/platform, placing any orders through our mobile application/platform, or using any of its features.

These Terms of Use do not replace the rights conferred upon you by consumer protection laws and other applicable laws in the United Arab Emirates.


1. Information About Us

Labaiik is owned and operated by Labaiik Order Delivery Services L.L.C (“we”, “us” or “Labaiik”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the United Arab Emirates, as applicable in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.


2. Our Aim

Our aim is to provide an easy and user-friendly platform in the form of our Labaiik mobile application (the “application”, “platform”) designed to facilitate transactions between its users (the “Buyers”, “ you”, “user/s”) and the merchants like grocery stores, restaurants etc. (the “Sellers”). On Labaiik platform, Sellers can list their products and items, from which the Buyers can choose and place their orders (the “Order/s”). Once an Order is placed, a Seller can accept and start preparing the Order (Buyer will be notified of acceptance), which will then be dispatched for delivery in the most hassle-free manner at the Buyer’s door steps or at any other place of their choice (subject to the operational and catchment area of the Sellers).


3. User Account

In order for you to utilize our platform, you need to register and create an account with Labaiik. The account can be created by using your e-mail address or mobile number. At the time of creating your account, you receive a one-time password (OTP) from us. You can then set-up your password to log into your account. It shall be your responsibility to keep your account details confidential at all time in order to avoid any misuse or unauthorized access to your account.

In case you violate any terms and conditions stated in this document or the applicable laws, your account may be suspended or deleted. In such events, we may also red flag your phone number and email that will bar you from re-registering again.


4. Availability

The Sellers listed on our platform have their own operating hours and area of operation. This means that the availability of our services depends upon the timing as well as the location of the Sellers. Furthermore, the availability of our services also depends upon other factors including prevailing weather, personnel availability, and the number of requests we receive.


5. Orders

To place an Order on our platform, you need to select the items and add them to your cart, followed by selecting the method of your payment (which also means you accept your obligation to make the necessary payments, including applicable taxes and charges). You would then need to confirm your Order by clicking on the “Place Order” button. The Order would become valid only once it is accepted by the Seller, following which the Order will be allocated for delivery.


6. Product Delivery

Labaiik intends to provide you with the best choice of products and items from a wide range of Sellers within your vicinity where it is operationally possible to deliver your Orders.

Once you place an Order through Labaiik platform, we will make best efforts to coordinate the delivery of your Order, however, it shall be your responsibility to provide us with full and accurate information about the delivery address in order to avoid unnecessary delay.

We intend to coordinate the delivery of your Order within 60 minutes, however, the actual delivery time may vary and will depend upon several factors including the availability of personnel, condition of traffic, weather, your distance from the Seller’s store, etc., and as such, we cannot guarantee any particular timeframe for the delivery of your Order. You therefore agree that Labaiik shall not be liable for any delays beyond the expected delivery time frame.
