Beelivery provides the Beelivery Services and sells the services to you subject to the conditions set out on this page.

Conditions of Use

Please read these conditions carefully before using Beelivery Services. By using Beelivery Services, you confirm your agreement to be bound by these conditions. When you use a Beelivery Service (for example Beelivery applications for mobile), you will also be subject to the terms, guidelines and conditions applicable to that Beelivery Service ("Service Terms"). If these Conditions of Use are inconsistent with the Service Terms, those Service Terms will control.

Our agreement with you is solely in relation to the provision of software to enable you to order a delivery and the terms of this Conditions of Use only become binding when a delivery driver agrees to deliver your order and enters into a contract with you on the terms of a delivery agreement between you and the driver.

Beelivery is not responsible for the delivery driver who makes the delivery to you, nor for the items that he/she delivers. However, we do take all reasonable steps to assist in ensuring that you are happy with the service that your delivery driver provides to you.

After you order, we attempt to find your driver who can purchase the items that you have ordered on your behalf and to deliver them to you. By placing an order, you agree that we can share your personal details (including location and phone number) with nearby drivers. We cannot guarantee delivery or fulfillment of all the items within your order and if we cannot find your driver within 40 minutes of the time that you place your order, we will cancel the order and send you an email or text message notifying you of cancellation.

We use your card details to pre-authorise payment for your items. We then take payment on delivery by your driver. Beelivery will provide you with a secure PIN, which, you will be required to provide your driver upon delivery. It is your responsibility to keep this PIN secure and not provide it until the point of delivery. Beelivery accepts no liability for loss or unauthorised use of this PIN. By providing the PIN number that we have given you to your driver, you will confirm receipt of the delivery.

When you initiate a transaction with Beelivery, our third party payment provider will authorise your payment for the full amount of your purchase. If you cancel your order before a driver has been assigned, you will automatically be refunded in full. If you cancel your order once a driver has been assigned, you will be receive a refund, less the Cancellation Fee. Once a driver has completed the order and is on the way to your location, your order will be charged in full and you will not be able to cancel. If the driver cannot contact you upon arrival at your location, your goods will be left at the property and you will be charged in full. As age restricted items cannot be left without the driver seeing the correct ID, these will not be left but you will still be charged.

If you cannot resolve a complaint with your driver to your satisfaction, you may contact us and we will assist in finding a resolution.

Driver Terms and Conditions

We Deliver Local Limited Driver Terms

We Deliver Local Limited Driver Subcontract (Update June 2020)

We Deliver Local Limited trading as 'Beelivery' ("Beelivery") provide website features to customers ("Customer") when they visit or shop at www.beelivery.com or using the Beelivery app (the "Website") ("Beelivery Services"). Following placement of an order on the website Beelivery may sub contract the agreement for services it holds with the Customer to you ("Driver") ("Sub Contract").

WHEREAS:

(A) By a contract updated June 2020, which can be located on the Website, and made between Beelivery and the Customer, the Customer has contracted with Beelivery to provide certain provision of services (the "Services") (which contract, as the same may be amended over time, is referred to as the "Principal Contract").
(B) By this Agreement made between Beelivery and the Driver, Beelivery has appointed the Driver as Beelivery's subcontractor in relation to certain of the Services from time to time (which Sub-Contract, as the same may be amended over time, is referred to as the "Agreement").
(C) Under the terms of the Principal Contract Beelivery agreed to procure that certain of its Drivers enter into an agreement in the form of this Agreement.

IN CONSIDERATION OF the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Duty of Care Undertaking

(a) it shall comply with all the Driver's obligations under the Agreement and shall perform its duties under the Agreement and under any supplemental agreements entered into after the date of the Agreement varying such duties under the Agreement;
(b) the Driver will exercise all the reasonable skill care and diligence in its performance of the Agreement; and
(c) insofar as it is required by the terms of the Agreement to provide information to Beelivery such information shall be supplied properly and in a timely manner.

2. Variations to or termination of the Agreement
2.1 Beelivery may, without any prior notice to the Driver:
(a) make any change to the terms of the Agreement; and/or
(b) terminate, seek to terminate, treat the same as having been repudiated or discontinue the performance of its duties and responsibilities under the Agreement in each case without the prior written consent of the Driver.

3. Assignment
3.1 The Driver shall not be entitled to assign transfer, charge or otherwise dispose of all or any of its rights or liabilities arising under this Agreement.
3.2 Beelivery shall be entitled without the consent of the Driver to assign all or any of its rights and benefits arising under this Agreement at any time to any person company or other entity.
3.3 Beelivery shall notify the Driver upon each occasion that it shall assign this Agreement.

4. Notices
4.1 Any notice or other communication (including any service of process or other proceedings) given or made under or in connection with the matters contemplated in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made by delivering it by hand or sending the same by prepaid first class recorded delivery post to the relevant address provided to the parties of this Agreement or such other address as shall be notified (in accordance with this Clause) by the party concerned to the other parties.
4.2 Any notice or other communication, if sent by post shall be deemed to have been served 48 hours after posting and, in proving such service, it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice was properly addressed stamped and put into the post, and if delivered by hand shall be deemed to have been served on such delivery.

5. Miscellaneous
5.1 The provisions of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to any other right of action that Beelivery may have in tort or otherwise.
5.2 By accepting the Services from Beelivery the Driver confirms to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
5.3 A person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms.
5.4 No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall impair such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
5.5 No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and communicated to the relevant party in writing.
5.6 The Driver will be an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement shall render the Driver Beelivery's employee, worker, agent or partner and the Driver shall not hold itself out as such.
5.7 The Driver is insured as required by the DVLA to perform the Services from time to time, and hereby warrants and guarantees to Beelivery that it shall adhere to all applicable laws and regulations required of it in the performance of the Services. Beelivery accepts no liability for breach by the Driver of any law or regulation.
5.8 The Driver agrees to promptly to provide the information in relation to the Drivers identity and right to work that Beelivery may request from time to time.
5.9 The Driver agrees that Beelivery may contact the Driver with details of a delivery at any time that you specify by way of our app that you are available to provide the Services. Each delivery will be allocated to the first driver to respond to those details.
5.10 Beelivery provides no guarantee in relation to a minimum number of deliveries (or indeed any deliveries) that will be offered to the Driver. When the Driver agrees to make a delivery, the Driver will be bound to the terms of this Agreement.
5.11 The Driver must fulfill the terms of this Agreement using its own money (where necessary including e items in accordance with our substitution policy), enter the prices of the items in our app (marking any items that are out of stock) and deliver the items to the address by the time specified in the order. Once delivery is complete, you must confirm this by way of our app.
5.12 Beelivery will (subject to receiving from the Driver a valid copy of the receipt it obtains from the shop(s)) pay the Driver the price charged by the shop(s) for the items delivered and the agreed delivery fee, the day after delivery. The Driver agrees that we are entitled to retain a service fee per order which is calculated by subtracting the following amounts from the amount paid to us by the Customer: the agreed delivery fee and any bonus; and the amounts applicable to the products which are purchased for the Customer. Any sums that Beelivery pays to the Customer for compensation as a result of the Driver failing fully to fulfil their obligations under this Agreement may be deducted from the agreed delivery fee.
5.13 The Driver warrants not to contact a Customer except for reasons that are directly connected with the delivery. You should not make a delivery under this Agreement to a Customer unless the Customer has been specifically referred to the Driver from Beelivery via the app.
5.14 Beelivery grants the Driver a non-exclusive license to use the app. The Driver agrees that it will only use the app in accordance with Beelivery's instructions and that it will not do anything in relation to the app, which is inconsistent with the ownership of the app. In particular, the Driver warrants that it will keep its password for the app confidential and will not allow anyone else to use the app.
5.15 If the Driver is delivering alcohol or tobacco and the Customer appears to be under the age of 25, the Driver warrants to obtain proof of identity from the Customer in the form of either a driving license or passport for proof of age. No other proof of age is acceptable. If the Customer cannot provide this valid ID, the Driver must not provide alcohol or tobacco this to the Customer and shall attempt to return any alcohol or tobacco to the shop where it was bought for a refund. The Driver will still be paid for the delivery.
5.16 The Driver agrees that it will permit Beelivery such rights in relation to the device that it uses to provide the Services as Beelivery requires to track your location. This is to enable Beelivery to send the Driver orders for delivery in its location, for Customers to track its progress, prevent fraud and improve the Beelivery service. Beelivery will only use the personal data that we acquire as a result for these purposes.
5.17 The Driver must report any discrepancies in payments within 14 days and mistakes will not be rectified after this time.
5.18 The Driver may appoint a substitute to perform the Services on its behalf, provided that the substitute is insured as required by the DVLA. We will continue to pay the Driver the agreed fee as provided in section 5.12 and the Driver shall be responsible for the remuneration of, and any expenses incurred by, the substitute. For the avoidance of doubt the Driver will not be paid for any period during which neither the Driver nor any substitute provide the Services. The Driver will continue to be subject to all duties and obligations under this Agreement for the duration of the appointment of the substitute.
5.19 The Driver is responsible for providing, funding and maintaining their own vehicle and equipment in the provision of the Services and must bear their own expenses.
5.20 The Driver may be engaged or concerned in any other business, trade, profession or other activity so long as such activity does not cause a breach of the Driver's obligations under the Agreement once the Driver agrees to make a delivery.
5.21 The Driver shall have personal liability for and shall indemnify Beelivery for any loss, liability, costs or expenses arising from any breach by the Driver, or any substitute engaged under this Agreement, of the terms of this Agreement, including any negligent or reckless act, omission or default in the provision of the Services.
5.22 The Driver shall be fully responsible for and indemnify Beelivery against any employment-related claim or any claim based on worker status brought by the Driver or any substitute against Beelivery and any liability, assessment or claim for taxation howsoever arising from or made in connection with the performance of the Services.

Agreement between Driver and Customer

We Deliver Local Limited (‘Beelivery’): Driver/Customer Delivery Agreement

The agreement between you ("The Customer") and the delivery driver and is made when your driver agrees to deliver the items in your order to you. The agreement is on these terms and no other terms.

If a driver is not found then no agreement will be made as the order will be cancelled automatically.

You are responsible for checking a delivery immediately and notifying the driver of any errors in that delivery. Mistakes cannot be rectified later.

All purchases, including alcohol and tobacco, are made directly from local shops. Your driver agrees to buy the purchases from the shop as your agent. This means that if you have any issues with the quality of the items delivered then you should raise them with the shop itself. As some items are weighed and cut to order, refunds may not always be possible unless the items are faulty or not as described.

Your driver is responsible solely for delivery of the items.

You agree to pay your driver the total amount specified in your order which includes the driver’s delivery fee and service fee.

You must be ready at the delivery address at the agreed time as deliveries will not be left without signature and, where applicable, proof of age. If you cannot provide proof of age where required, the relevant items will be returned to the shop and you will be charged a fee.

You must confirm receipt of delivery by providing the PIN number issued by Beelivery to your driver.

Your driver aims to deliver within 90 minutes of you placing your order (or the timescale notified to you at the time of booking). However, occasionally drivers may take longer to deliver due to circumstances outside their control, such as heavy traffic. Likewise, your driver does not guarantee that the items you order will be available. You will not be charged if an item is not available because it is out of stock. If an item does not match the item that you ordered, then you can ask the driver to take it back and you will not be charged for that item.

You can cancel an order by contacting Beelivery. In Scotland, the sale of alcohol is prohibited before 10am and after 10pm. Deliveries of alcohol are prohibited between 12am and 6am.

Aggregated data does not reveal identity and therefore is not considered personal data in law. For example, we may aggregate usage data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website or app feature.

We do not collect or process any ‘special categories’ of personal data - this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data. Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

If you fail to provide personal data

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. For example, to provide goods or services to you. In this situation we might have to cancel a product or service, but if this is the case we will notify you at the time.

How is your personal data collected?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including:

• When you create an account on our website or mobile app
• Via direct interactions, e.g. if you give us your identity, contact and/or financial data when filling in forms, or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
1. enter a competition, promotion or survey; or
2. agree to marketing communications;
3. contact us or give us feedback.
• As you interact with our website, we automatically collect technical data about your device and browsing actions, as described above. We collect this data using cookies and other similar technologies.
• We may also receive data which could be used to identify you from third parties, such as:
1. website analytics providers;
2. advertising networks, brokers, aggregators and search providers;
3. providers of technical and payment services.

Keeping your information up to date
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

How we use your personal data

We have set out below, in a table format, a description of the purposes for which we use personal data and the lawful bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our ‘legitimate interests’ are, where appropriate.

We provide a customer’s name, address, phone number and the items in the order to the delivery driver in the area, who has agreed to make a delivery, so that he/she may fulfil the delivery. We require our drivers to respect the security of your personal data and to protect it in accordance with the law. We only permit drivers to process your personal data to make your delivery. We do not allow drivers to use your personal data for their own purposes. We may provide the driver's name and phone number to the customer if requested.

We will only use your personal data for specified purposes, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the lawful basis which allows us to do so. Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We strive to provide you with choices around the use of your personal data, particularly in relation to marketing and advertising. We may use your personal data to help us understand which products, services and offers may be of interest to you.

If you have agreed to receive email marketing communications you will receive these messages from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the links provided on each email, or by contacting us using the details given shown above.

This website uses cookies to improve your experience. Cookies are text files placed on your device when you use a website or app. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies.

The following cookies are used:

The Beelivery website may include links to third party websites, plug-ins and applications. If you click on those links or enable those connections this may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third party websites and are not responsible for their privacy. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy statement of any other website you visit.

Disclosures of your personal data

We only share personal information with third parties for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. These third parties include:

• Service providers (acting as data processors) who provide IT and system administration services under contract according to our instructions.
• Professional advisers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the UK who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
• We disclose personal data as and when required to do so by law. Such as HM Revenue & Customs, the Police, regulators and other authorities based in the UK.
• Marketing, advertising and website analytics providers.

We do not allow third parties to use personal data for their own marketing purposes, unless you have been informed about these activities and have given your prior consent. In the event we share data with a third party, we require that third party to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.

Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to access the data, in accordance with our instructions. They are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

International transfers

Some of the external third parties we use are based outside the UK and EEA, so their processing of personal data may involve transfers between the UK and the third country in which they are based. Whenever we transfer personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We may transfer personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission which give personal data a similar level of protection to that which it has in the UK and EEA.

Data retention

We will only hold your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, financial or other specific requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

Your legal rights

You have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction of your personal data
• Request erasure of your personal data
• Object to processing of your personal data
• Request restriction of processing your personal data
• Request transfer of your personal data
• Right to withdraw consent

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the contact details above.

You may request access to your personal data - commonly known as a "data subject access request". This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. No fee is usually required. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights) unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data, or to exercise any other rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request, to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer, for example if your request is particularly complex or if you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Your right to complain

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance.
