1. HOW COZYMEAL WORKS

The Cozymeal Website is a social scheduling platform that connects professional chefs, caterers, food operators and others who wish to host meals and other food events, such as dinner parties, cooking classes and culinary tours (each, VendorVendora “Vendor” or “Vendors”) with users who enjoy attending and participating in such food events (each, a “Guest” or “Guests”, collectively with Vendor“Vendor” referred to as “User” or “Users”). VendorVendors create online profiles which feature their food preferences, meals they enjoy cooking, ingredients used, dates and menus for their upcoming food events and photos of previous and planned meals.

Vendors may choose to host their own events or to cater the private events of their Guests (each, an “Event”). In the event a Vendor chooses to host an Event, the Vendor will create and post a menu of the meal to be served, and the date and time of the Event. If a Guest decides they want to attend the Vendor’s Event, the Guest can request a reservation to attend the Vendor’s Event. Upon acceptance of such reservation by the Vendor (such reserved Event, a “Booked Event”), Cozymeal will make available to the Guest, the necessary information for attendance of the Event and charge the Guest’s Member Account (as defined below) in accordance with Section 4 below.

In the event a Vendor chooses to cater a private Event at a location designated by a Guest (a “Private Event”), the Guest will provide the Vendor certain information about the desired Private Event, such as the date of the proposed Private Event, number of people who will attend, and any dietary restrictions. If a Vendor decides that they are willing to host the proposed Private Event, the Vendor will designate a fee for such Private Event. Upon acceptance of the proposed terms of the Private Event, including the applicable fees, by the Guest, Cozymeal will charge the Guest’s Member Account, at which time the Private Event will be deemed a Booked Event.

The website acts as a third-party venue in connecting Vendors and Guests to one another and provides the means for the Vendors and Guests to plan for Events. You as a User, acknowledge and agree that Cozymeal is not a party to any agreement and /or arrangement made between the Guests and Vendors. As a result, any part of an actual or potential transaction between a Vendor and Guest, including the quality of the meal, ingredients used, food prepared, menu served, safety and condition of the venue provided, and the truth or accuracy of any Event listings (including the content thereof or any ratings and reviews) are solely the responsibility of each user.

4. EVENT FEES & REFUNDS

(a) Guest Payments. Each Guest will pay the fees for each Event (the “Fee Payable”) in advance and at the time of booking. By reserving admission to an Event, you agree to that your payment card or other payment means may be charged for the full amount of the Fee Payable prior to the Event. In an event additional guests are to attend a Booked Event after the Fee Payable has been processed, the Guest may:

1. Contact us directly to notify us of the additional guests; the Fee Payable will then be updated and processed accordingly;
2. Contact the Vendor directly and notify the Vendor of the additional guests; the Vendor then shall notify us of the additional guests and Fee Payable will be updated and processed accordingly;
3. Attend the party without prior notice with additional guests after which the Vendor shall notify us of the additional guests in attendance. We will then contact the Guest to confirm they have attended the Booked Event with additional guests and upon confirmation the Fee Payable will be updated and processed accordingly.

(b) Vendor Compensation. If you are a Vendor, following the Event Cozymeal will remit the total amount of the Fee Payable it has collected from each Guest for that Event, less Cozymeal’s Host Service Fee (as described in your Member Account profile page) and Rental Fees (as described in Section 4(f) below), if any.

(c) Payment Information. Event prices listed on the Website from Vendor in Canada are in Canadian dollars; Event prices listed on the Website from a Vendor in the United States are in United States dollars. Good prices may not include applicable tax and other charges. Taxes and other charges may be added at checkout and will be payable by you as part of the “Fee Payable”.

Fee Payable will be processed through card payment or other payment means. For card payments, Cozymeal uses the third-party payment processors to effect charges onto your debit or credit card. You consent to the collection and use of your information (including, if applicable, personal information) by such payment processing service as necessary to process your payments. We reserve the right to change, or to stop accepting, any permitted payment method at any time at our sole discretion.

You agree we may charge your payment card for any order placed and for any additional amounts (including any taxes) as may be applicable in connection with your purchase. You are responsible to ensure that all of your billing information is current, complete, and accurate. We will provide you with an online or emailed billing summary statement which you may review, save, or print at your discretion. This is the only billing statement that will be provided by us.

YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY PAYMENT CARD(S) OR OTHER PAYMENT MEANS USED TO PAY ANY FEE PAYABLE.

You will be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your payments and will indemnify and hold harmless Cozymeal from any and all taxes, including sales tax, based on any payments made by you via the Website. Cozymeal does not make any representation or render any advice as to the potential tax implications of any payments made via the Website, or Event, and you should consult your tax professional with regards to the same.

We encourage Vendors to confirm all purchases and to communicate any inability or unwillingness to confirm promptly, and we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if the Vendor does not confirm your purchase. Vendor's may have the discretion to not confirm Orders. If you have paid for the Services with your card, Cozymeal will provide you with a refund of the price of your purchase after communicating to you the non- confirmation or cancellation of your Order by the Vendor.

(d) Cancellation Fees. Specific cancellation policies may be displayed in connection with each Event on the Website. If the Website does not display a cancellation policy with respect to a particular Event, the following will apply:
If you, as a Guest, cancel your Booked Event:

• Up to 48 hours before the scheduled time of the Event (the “Start Time”), you will receive a full refund;
• Less than 48 hours of the Start Time, you will not receive any refund.

(e) Cozymeal Host Service Fees. Joining the Website, creating a user profile and creating and searching for Events is free. If you are a Vendor, however Cozymeal does, charge a Host Service Fee (as described in Section 4(b)) for any payments made via the Cozymeal service, which are listed in your profile page available via your Member Account. Cozymeal may choose to temporarily change the fees or offer discounts for our services for promotional events or new services (“Cozymeal Discounts”), which may be subject to additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”). If there are any conflicts between these Terms and Conditions and Additional Terms, the provisions of the Additional Terms shall prevail in reference to Cozymeal Discounts. Before you participate in any Cozymeal Discount, you should always read the Additional Terms.

(f) Event Location and Rental Fees. Vendors may book Event locations through Cozymeal in the event you, as a Vendor, cannot find a suitable location. In the event, you, as a Vendor, book an Event location and/or supplies (e.g. chairs, dishes, pans, etc.) through Cozymeal, Cozymeal will deduct the costs incurred by Cozymeal in reserving the location and supplies, plus Cozymeal’s Service Fee (“Rental Fees”) from the Fee Payable paid by the Guests of such Event. In the event the Rental Fees are in excess of the Fee Payable, you, as the Vendor, agree to reimburse Cozymeal for all Rental Fees in excess of the Fee Payable.

(g) Refunds. Cozymeal’s third party payment processor will hold all pre-paid amounts in escrow up until twenty four hours after the scheduled end-time for such Event, at which time the pre-paid amount will be paid out to the Vendor in accordance with this Section 4. In the event you, as a Guest, are dissatisfied with any Event that you actually attend, you may submit a complaint within 24 hours of the scheduled end-time of the applicable Event to Cozymeal’s customer service department by emailing Cozymeal at email. Please include in your email: your name, contact information, the date and time of the Event you attended, and a description of your complaint.

Cozymeal reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to issue refunds, and may withhold fees payable to Vendors in an event of a complaint.

Notwithstanding the above, in the event any Booked Event is canceled prior to the scheduled date and time, you will be refunded all amounts prepaid by you in connection with such event.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE that your DISSATISFACTION WITH THE TASTE OF ANY MEAL PROVIDED DURING, OR OVERALL ENJOYMENT OF, ANY EVENT IS NOT, BY ITSELF, SUFFICIENT GROUNDS TO RECEIVE A REFUND.
