Last Updated November 28, 2022
Please read these Terms of Use (“Terms”) carefully before using this WECO website and our services.
WeCo Hospitality, Inc. owns and operates this website (wecohospitality.com), mobile sites and/or selected other domains (collectively, the “Sites”). As used in these Terms, “WECO,” “we,” “us,” or “our” shall mean WeCo Hospitality, Inc., dba WECO, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives.
These Terms constitute an agreement between you and WECO and states the terms and conditions under which you may use our Sites and receive WECO products and services, which includes food, processing and delivery of product orders (the “WECO Service”). Our Sites and the WECO Service incorporates these Terms by reference, and your use of the WECO Service and our Sites constitutes your agreement to these Terms. If you do not agree with all of these Terms, please do not use our Sites or the WECO Service.
By using our Sites and the WECO Service, you represent that you are at least eighteen (18) years of age (or the applicable age of majority if greater than eighteen (18) years of age in your jurisdiction), and have the requisite power and authority to agree to these Terms. BY USING OUR SITES, PLACING AN ORDER WITH US, OR OTHERWISE USING THE WECO SERVICE, YOU ACCEPT AND ARE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
Ordering, Delivery & Pickup & Cancellation
Ordering availability. WECO products are subject to availability. We reserve the right to decline an order for any reason, including but not limited to: a requested delivery location outside our service area; our capacity limits; and past due payments.
Delivery changes. In the case of inclement weather or unforeseen delivery issues, we reserve the right to make adjustments to our delivery schedule and/or the drop-off locations. If there will be a significant delay, a member of the Customer Joy team may contact you to let you know the status of your delivery time and/or location. We will deliver your order as quickly as possible when the conditions permit a safe delivery.
Delivery orders. Except in the event of a delivery change as described above, WECO will deliver your order to your specified address on the date given on your confirmation email. You must allow safe and unobstructed access to your delivery location. Any individual at the delivery address who accepts a delivery from us is presumed to be authorized to receive such delivery. In cases in which you have designated an alternative receiver, such person shall accept the delivery under all of the same terms and conditions that would apply had you accepted the delivery yourself. Food will be refrigerated en route, but you are responsible for receiving the food promptly or providing a cooler at the delivery location to maintain food safety. WECO is not responsible for deliveries that are lost, stolen, undelivered due to unsafe conditions at the delivery location, or not promptly refrigerated after delivery. For misdelivered food, please contact [email protected].
Pickup orders. Orders will be available for pickup at the specified location and hours.
Weather or other events. In the event of inclement weather conditions or other events beyond our control that interfere with our ability to deliver your order or otherwise prevent us from making safe, on-time deliveries or pickups, we may postpone your delivery or pickup to a later date, or we may cancel your order.
Cancellation. Due to the nature of our daily fresh food preparation service, we are not able to accommodate cancellations after the deadline specified in the FAQs or on any given order. You agree that any orders cancelled after the cancellation deadline or not picked up will still be billed and you agree to pay for them.
No Resale. You are not permitted to resell or otherwise use the WECO products for commercial purposes.
Payment Policy
Payments. We will invoice you for your WECO order on the night you receive your order. The invoice amount includes the estimated food and packaging cost of the items, plus any applicable delivery fees and taxes. By placing an order, and requesting and receiving WECO meals, you promise and agree to pay, at a minimum, the invoiced amount and to contribute an appropriate amount for our labor, overhead, and other costs.
Certain items may be “priced items” for which the amount invoiced comprises all cost and no additional contribution is necessary.
Orders with a value above $100 may be deemed “catering orders” and advance payment may be required.
The invoice provides a link for you to pay via credit or debit card. We do not accept cash or checks. Our Sites currently do not allow you to store a credit or debit card; however, if such functionality is provided in the future and you do not make a timely payment for your order, we may charge the credit or debit card you elect to store in your WECO profile.
Invalid Payment Methods. WECO will not process orders that attempt to use incorrect, expired, stolen, or over-limit card. We will make our best efforts to contact you if this occurs. However, in the event such an order is processed, WECO reserves the right to collect funds for any uncollected transactions owed to it.
Satisfaction Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with one of our products or our service – for any reason – please contact the Customer Joy team at [email protected].
Food Allergies
WECO takes reasonable efforts to label allergens in our food and to offer exclusions and substitutions when possible. However, all of our food is prepared in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and other allergens, so meals may be prepared using the same equipment that is used to prepare meals containing potential allergens, even if the allergen is marked as being absent from the WECO order label. WECO is also not responsible for any inaccuracies on labels, nor the food preparation facility and process, although we will comply with all applicable laws. You agree that WECO shall not be liable for any allergic reaction, illness, health problem, or other damages that may result from consumption of any meals from the WECO Service.
Food Handling & Safety
Food is delivered in temperature-controlled vehicles, but it is your responsibility to promptly and properly inspect and store your order after we deliver it. If you do not prepare or reheat the food soon after delivery, we recommend that you immediately refrigerate or freeze it, and follow the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) instructions on refrigeration and food safety. You are also responsible for following the reheating instructions. You agree that WECO shall not be liable for any allergic reaction, illness, health problem, or other damages that may result from your improper food handling.
Additionally, since we obtain ingredients from farmers, purveyors, and other suppliers, there may occasionally be bones, seeds, and other potential choking hazards, and we want you to be aware of that possibility.
Substitutions Policy
All of our ingredients are subject to availability, and we reserve the right to substitute meals (including, but not limited to, specific ingredients or entire items) without prior notice. We strive to provide you with high-quality meals; however, given the perishable nature of certain ingredients and market conditions beyond our control, we may be required to make substitutions from time to time. Substituted meals may contain different ingredients and allergens than those in items originally ordered. Prior to preparation and consumption, please be sure to carefully check all food packages and labels for allergen information.
