Terms of Service

Fudi Eats is a technology platform that connects buyers with independent food sellers. Fudi Eats does not make, store, inspect or sell food. Sellers are independent businesses and the sellers of record for everything they list. A purchase is a contract between the buyer and the seller.

By creating an account or using Fudi Eats, you agree to these terms.

Keep your account information accurate and your sign-in secure. You're responsible for activity on your account. [Eligibility and minimum age: to be confirmed by counsel.]

If you sell on Fudi Eats, you are responsible for:

• Permits and licenses: holding any permit, license or registration your food and location require, and declaring your legal basis (cottage food or licensed) accurately.
• Labeling: packaging and labeling as required, including the Florida cottage food label statement where it applies.
• Food safety: preparing, storing and handing off food safely.
• Accurate descriptions: including ingredients, allergens, quantities and photos that reflect what buyers receive.
• Honoring orders: having paid orders ready during the pickup window you set, or cancelling promptly when you can't.

Fudi Eats does not verify permits, inspect kitchens or certify food safety.

• Give accurate information when you order.
• Pick up your order on time, during the pickup window you chose. Orders that aren't picked up may not be refunded.
• Review the listing's ingredients and allergen information before you order.

Payments are processed by Stripe through Stripe Connect. When a buyer pays, the charge is made on the seller's Stripe account. The seller is the merchant of record, and Fudi Eats collects an application fee from each sale.

• Fees: Fudi Eats' fee is a percentage of each sale, set by the fee schedule in effect when the listing is published. Stripe charges payment processing. Sellers see their exact payout before publishing a listing. [Current fee schedule: to be published here.]
• Sales tax: as the marketplace provider, Fudi Eats collects and remits Florida sales tax on sales made through Fudi Eats.
• Payouts: sellers are paid to their bank account by Stripe on their Stripe payout schedule, subject to Stripe's Connected Account Agreement.
• Refunds: [Refund policy placeholder: cancellations before the order cutoff, seller cancellations, no-shows and issue reports.]

You may not list or sell:

• Food you aren't legally allowed to sell under your declared legal basis, including foods that need time or temperature control for safety when selling as a cottage food operation.
• Alcohol, cannabis, hemp or CBD products, or raw (unpasteurized) milk.
• Anything that isn't food, or that is illegal, recalled, or misrepresented.
• Listings with false health claims, or misleading photos or descriptions.

Content must not be offensive, infringing or fraudulent. We may remove listings that break these rules.

We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, put buyers at risk, or misuse the platform. You may close your account at any time from the app, once any active orders are complete.

Fudi Eats is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, Fudi Eats is not liable for the food sellers provide, or for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the platform. [Liability caps and warranty disclaimers: to be drafted by counsel.]

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. [Venue and dispute resolution: to be drafted by counsel.]

If we change these terms, we'll update the effective date and version above, and tell you in the app when the changes are significant.
