Skip terms of use
June 2023
Before you start using Skip, our lawyers want you to know a few things. So read over this document and make sure you understand how it’s all going to work.
This page sets out the terms and conditions on which Skip Zero Pty Ltd (us, we or our) provide our goods and services through our websites skipapp.com.au, skip.com.au and any associated mobile application (Skip). By using the Skip, you agree to comply with Skip terms of use.
What we offer
Skip is a platform that allows you to purchase food / beverages from participating third party cafes and restaurants (Venues) that may be collected, delivered to your table/seat or an address in Australia. You pay for the food and drinks you order through Skip (Order) and collect your Order from the Venue or have it delivered to a pre-determined location such as a table in the Venue, or address capable of delivery and offered by the Venue.
Skip Zero is a swap and go coffee cup subscription system provided through Skip at selected Venues. We’ll be getting as many venues as we can on board, but the number of participating venues may change from time to time.
General Terms
Registration
In order to use Skip, you are required to register an account and you must:
- Be legally capable of forming binding contracts;
- Have a credit or debit card that we accept; and
- be authorised to use that credit or debit card (e.g. it is in your name or you have the owner’s permission to use it)
You cannot transfer your Skip account or Skip Zero subscription.
Placing an Order (Skip)
When you place an Order through Skip, it needs to have successfully transacted through your chosen credit or debit card and be accepted by the Venue before it is confirmed. We will send you a notification if your Order has been accepted. No changes can be made after you have submitted your Order so make sure you review your Order carefully before finalising. You acknowledge that much of the content provided on Skip relates to Advertiser products, services or information (Advertiser Content). Advertiser Content is not endorsed by Us and We do not warrant that Advertiser Content is accurate, reliable, suitable, complete or of a particular quality.
Placing an Order (Skip Zero)
To get started, simply purchase your coffee and a ‘starter’ Skip Zero subscription from a participating Skip Zero Venue via the website or app. This includes a 12 month subscription, the Skip Zero cup to swap and go, and your own lid to keep. When you arrive at your chosen participating Venue, your coffee will be waiting for you in your fresh Skip Zero cup.
For future orders, select ‘Skip Zero Cup’ at the checkout (via the website or app). Then, bring your used cup to the barista when you arrive (there’s no need to wash it) and hold on to your lid. Your used cup will be swapped for a commercially cleaned cup every time and of course, your coffee will be there waiting for you to collect so there’s no need to wait.
Fees and Subscriptions
We charge your credit or debit card at the time when your Order is confirmed, or for Skip Zero, when your subscription is purchased or renewed.
Skip
A Service Fee may be charged for orders placed through your account on Skip. This helps us run our platform and provide related services. You are responsible for paying for all Orders and Service Fees made using your account. The Service Fee is not a credit card payment surcharge. All charges relating to card transactions are paid for by Skip and are not included as part of the Service Fee.
Skip Zero
Your Skip Zero subscription will automatically renew. We will notify you at least 28 days before this happens. Fees and terms for subscriptions may change at any time but will not affect your current subscription. To cancel your subscription, select the cancel option in the Skip Zero menu on account via the website or app at least 3 days before the end of your current subscription.
If we need to cancel the Skip Zero subscription system for any reason, we’ll give you at least 30 days’ notice.
Order Times
Estimated times for Order collections are provided by the Venues and are estimates only. Neither we nor the Venue guarantee that Orders will be available for collection or delivery within the estimated times
Venue Information
Venue information, including but not limited to, trading hours, pictures, menu information (Venue Content) is not endorsed by us and we do not warrant that Venue Content is accurate, reliable, suitable, complete or of a particular quality. For information about allergy warnings, contents of a dish or any other menu information or Venue Content, you should confirm with the Venue directly before ordering.
Put simply, if you have any allergies or dietary requirements, contact the café or restaurant if you’re unsure about their products.
Ordering Alcohol through Skip
You may order alcohol products from certain Venues if you are 18 years of age or older. You also agree that, to receive your alcohol products, you will provide valid government-issued identification proving your age to the Venue and that you will not be intoxicated when receiving such products. Venues reserve the right to refuse delivery if you are not 18 years or older, if you cannot provide a valid government issued ID, if the name on your ID does not match the name on your order, you are visibly intoxicated or disorderly, or if it is outside the trading hours listed on the Venue’s liquor licence.
If the Venue refuses to provide you with alcohol products you ordered through Skip, the Venue will let us know and we will refund your purchase. This may take a few days but if you haven't received a refund after 7 days, please contact us (providing details of the transaction) at support@skip.com.au and we will investigate.
Put simply, don't look at Skip like that weird guy with the moustache outside the Bottle-O who'll buy you a six-pack for $20 and a bag of chips. If you shouldn't be buying your booze at the bar, you shouldn't be doing it through Skip either.
Skip Zero Cup
We don’t ask much of our Skip Zero subscribers, but we do ask that you:
- Look after your Skip Zero cup (there’s no need to wash your cup before you swap it, but if you do, please be gentle with it – you can put it in the dishwasher but do not use any scourers or harsh scrubbing); and
- try not to lose your lid, though replacement lids are available to purchase via the Skip app
Each time you swap over your cup, your new cup is yours to keep swapping or to keep. If you intend to keep swapping your Skip Zero cup, we ask that you look after it by following the rules above. If you don’t look after your cup, we reserve the right to suspend or cancel your subscription.
