2. Acceptance of this Agreement
DoorDash operates an online marketplace and connection platform to (a) broker the exchange of goods and services among you and other consumers, restaurants and other businesses (“Merchants”), and independent third-party contractors who provide delivery and/or other services (“Contractors”); and (b) provide you with access to information on the Services. DoorDash’s Technology permits consumers to place orders for food and/or other goods from Merchants, either for delivery or pickup, and/or request services from Merchants. If a delivery order is made, DoorDash uses the Technology to notify Contractors (or, for certain orders, Merchants) that a delivery opportunity is available and to facilitate completion of the delivery to the consumer. If a pickup order is made, DoorDash uses the Technology to communicate with the consumer regarding the availability of the order for pickup. DoorDash is not a merchant, retailer, restaurant, grocer, delivery service, or food preparation business (except as otherwise specified in Section 6 below).
If you access any of our websites located at www.doordash.com/ and www.trycaviar.com, install or use the DoorDash or Caviar mobile application, install or use any other technology supplied by DoorDash (collectively, the “Technology”), access or use any information, function, feature, or service made available or enabled by DoorDash (collectively, the “Services,” which includes the Technology), click or tap a button or take similar action to signify your affirmative acceptance of this Agreement, or complete the DoorDash account registration process, you, your heirs, assigns, and successors (collectively, “you” or “your”) hereby represent and warrant that: (a) you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and any future amendments and additions to this Agreement as published from time to time at www.doordash.com/terms/ or through the Technology; (b) you are of legal age in the jurisdiction in which you reside to form a binding contract with DoorDash; and (c) you have the authority to enter into the Agreement personally and, if applicable, on behalf of any organization for whom you have created an account or been named as the User during the DoorDash account registration process and to bind such organization to the Agreement.
The specific Services or information available to you may vary based on the delivery or pickup address that you have selected. A certain function, feature, or Service (y) available to one User may not be available to all Users or at all times, and (z) may only be available in the latest version of the DoorDash or Caviar mobile application. “User” means any individual or other person who accesses or uses the Services with or without an account (whether directly or through tools, services, or other means), including, without limitation, any organization that registers an account or otherwise accesses or uses the Services through its respective employees, agents, or representatives. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if you do not agree to be bound by the Agreement, you may not access or use the Services.
3. Modifications
Subject to Section 14(k) of this Agreement, DoorDash reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement or its policies relating to the Technology or Services at any time, effective upon posting an updated version of this Agreement at www.doordash.com/terms/ or through the Technology. If we make any material changes to this Agreement, we will notify you by email at the email address that you have provided to us or by another means. You should regularly review this Agreement, as your continued use of the Services after any such changes constitutes your agreement to such changes. If you do not agree to this Agreement or any modifications to this Agreement, you should immediately cease using the Technology and Services.
4. Additional Terms and Policies

Certain features of our Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, which, to the extent permitted by applicable law, are incorporated herein by reference.
If you use the DoorDash Developer Portal, you also accept and agree to be bound by the Developer Portal Technology License & Terms of Use (“Developer Portal Terms”) when using the Developer Portal. If there’s any conflict between the Developer Portal Terms and this Agreement, the Developer Portal Terms shall control to the extent related to the Developer Portal.

6. Contractors and Merchants Are Independent
(a) You understand and agree that DoorDash provides the Services to connect you with independent Merchants that provide the products and services offered through the Services, and independent third-party Contractors who provide delivery and other services. You acknowledge and agree that DoorDash is not a merchant, retailer, restaurant, grocer, pharmacy, chemist, delivery service, or food preparation business, and has no responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of any Merchant or any Contractor. Merchants are the retailers of the products or services offered through the Services. DoorDash is not in the delivery business, does not provide delivery services, and is not a common carrier. DoorDash provides the Services to facilitate the transmission of orders by Users to Merchants, including orders for pickup or delivery by Contractors and/or Merchants. Any delivery, pickup, or preparation times displayed through the Services are purely estimates and do not represent a promise, commitment, or guarantee by DoorDash. DoorDash will not assess or guarantee the suitability, legality, or ability of any Contractor or Merchant. You agree that DoorDash is not responsible for Merchants’ food preparation or product offerings, food or product handling, or the safety of the food or other products, or whether the photographs, images, menu or product listings, catalog, item descriptions, or other menu, product, or catalog information (including nutrition, ingredient, and/or allergen information) displayed through the Services accurately reflect the goods and services sold by Merchants and/or delivered by the Contractor and/or Merchant, and does not verify Merchants’ compliance with applicable laws or regulations. You also acknowledge and agree that menu, product, or catalog listings, descriptions, or other information (including photographs or images or nutrition, ingredient, and/or allergen information) displayed through the Services may not have been provided directly by the Merchant. DoorDash has no responsibility or liability for acts or omissions by any Merchant or Contractor. You agree that the goods that you purchase will be prepared by the Merchant you have selected, that title to the goods passes from the Merchant to you at the Merchant’s location, and that, for delivery orders, the Contractor and/or Merchant will be directed by your instructions to transport the products to your designated delivery location. You agree that neither the Contractor nor DoorDash holds title to or acquires any ownership interest in any goods that you order through the Services. You must not do anything which seeks to create an encumbrance, lien, charge, or other interest in or over the goods that you order until title has passed to you.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6(a):
(i) United States Orders. For United States Orders placed through the Services with DoorDash Essentials, LLC (dba DashMart or other brands), DoorDash Essentials, LLC is the Merchant and is therefore the retailer of the goods sold. DoorDash Essentials, LLC is a subsidiary of DoorDash, Inc. and is a Merchant listed on the Services.
(ii) Canada Orders. For Canada Orders placed through the Services with Rapid Retail Canada, Inc. (dba DashMart or other brands), Rapid Retail Canada, Inc. is the Merchant and is therefore the retailer of the goods sold. Rapid Retail Canada, Inc. is an affiliate of DoorDash Technologies Canada, Inc. and is a Merchant listed on the Services.
7. User Account
You may be required to register for an account to use parts of the Services. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and at all other times when you use the Services, and to update the information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are the sole authorized User of any account you create through the Services. You are solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account or through your device. You agree that you shall monitor your account to prevent use by minors, and you will accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of your password or your account. You may not authorize others to use your User account, and you may not assign or otherwise transfer your User account to any other person or entity. Should you suspect that any unauthorized party may be using your password or account, you will notify DoorDash immediately. DoorDash will not be liable, and you may be liable, for losses, damages, liability, expenses, and fees incurred by DoorDash or a third party arising from someone else using your account; however, if you are a Canada Consumer who resides in the Province of Québec, the foregoing does not limit DoorDash’s liability for the consequences of its own acts or the acts of its representatives. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or if DoorDash has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, DoorDash has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof). We may enable or require you to use a single set of login credentials to use the DoorDash and/or Caviar services. You agree not to create an account or use the Services if you have been previously removed from the DoorDash platform by DoorDash or if you have been previously banned from use of the Services.
8. User Content
(a) User Content. DoorDash may provide you with interactive opportunities through the Services, including, by way of example, the ability to post content on the DoorDash platform or otherwise provide to DoorDash Ratings and Reviews (each as defined below), Feedback (as defined below), or other text, photos, images, or audio and video content (collectively, “User Content”). You represent and warrant that you are the owner of, or otherwise have the right to provide, all User Content that you submit, post, and/or otherwise transmit through the Services. You further represent and warrant that any User Content submitted, posted, and/or otherwise transmitted through the Services by you or someone on your behalf or through your User account does not (i) violate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; (ii) contain material that is false, intentionally misleading, deceptive, defamatory, offensive, abusive, or pornographic, including material that racially or religiously vilifies, incites violence or hatred, or is likely to insult or humiliate others based on race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, or any physical or mental disability; (iii) contain sexually explicit or violent content or photos, images, or videos of weapons, illegal drugs, or hate symbols; (iv) contain any material that is unlawful or relates to unlawful conduct (including phishing and spoofing); (v) create a privacy or security risk to any person, including by soliciting personal information from any person, or contain any confidential, sensitive, private, or personally identifiable information; (vi) solicit money from any person; (vii) contain financial, legal, medical, or other professional advice; (viii) harm, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten, or otherwise offend; (ix) reflect negatively on DoorDash, including DoorDash’s goodwill, name, and reputation; (x) tamper with, hinder the operation of, or make unauthorized modifications to our websites or Technology; (xi) otherwise result in civil or criminal liability for you, DoorDash, or any third party; (xii) violate any law or regulation; or (xiii) violate this Agreement or any community or content guidelines that DoorDash may publish from time to time (including but not limited to our Content Guidelines). You hereby grant DoorDash (including DoorDash’s service providers) a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, fully paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully sublicensable right and license to use, copy, display, publish, modify, remove, publicly perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and/or otherwise use the User Content in connection with DoorDash’s business and in all forms now known or hereafter invented (collectively, “Uses”), without notification to and/or approval by you. You further grant DoorDash a license to use your username, first name and last initial, profile photo (if available), and/or other User profile information, including, without limitation, your ratings history, to attribute User Content to you in connection with such Uses, without notification to or approval by you. You acknowledge, however, that DoorDash has no obligation to attribute any User Content to you in connection with any Use. You agree that this license includes the right for other Users to access and use your User Content in conjunction with participation in the Services and as permitted through the functionality of the Services. In the interest of clarity, the license granted to DoorDash herein shall survive termination of the Services or your account. DoorDash reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove or disable access to any User Content from the Services, suspend or terminate your account at any time, or pursue any other remedy or relief available under equity or law if you post any User Content that violates this Agreement or any community or content guidelines we may publish or that we consider to be objectionable for any reason. You agree that DoorDash may monitor and/or delete your User Content (but does not assume the obligation to do so) or may decide to not publish, display, or otherwise make available your User Content for any reason at DoorDash’s sole discretion. DoorDash may also access, read, preserve, and disclose any information as DoorDash reasonably believes is necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce this Agreement, including investigation of potential violations hereof; detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; respond to User, Contractor, or Merchant support requests; or protect the rights, property, or safety of DoorDash, our Users, and the public. We may aggregate your publicly viewable User Content and certain other information about you onto a User profile viewable by anyone, which you can choose to make public (meaning your publicly viewable User Content will be displayed on your profile) or restricted (meaning only certain information about you and your User Content will be displayed on your profile, such as the number of Reviews and photos you’ve submitted but not their contents).
(b) Feedback. You agree that any submission of any ideas, suggestions, and/or proposals to DoorDash through its suggestion, feedback, wiki, forum, or similar pages (“Feedback,” which is considered User Content) is at your own risk and that DoorDash has no obligations (including, without limitation, obligations of confidentiality) with respect to such Feedback. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit the Feedback and you hereby grant to DoorDash (including DoorDash’s service providers) a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, fully paid, royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully sublicensable right and license to use, copy, display, publish, modify, remove, publicly perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and/or otherwise use such Feedback.
(c) Ratings and Reviews. To the extent that you rate or post reviews of Merchants or other businesses, which may include but is not limited to text, photos, images, audio, or videos that you provide (“Ratings” and “Reviews”), such Ratings and Reviews are considered User Content and are governed by this Agreement. Ratings and Reviews are not endorsed by DoorDash and do not represent the views of DoorDash or its affiliates. DoorDash shall have no liability for Ratings and Reviews or for any claims of economic loss resulting from such Ratings and Reviews. Because we strive to maintain a high level of integrity with respect to Ratings and Reviews posted or otherwise made available through the Services, you acknowledge and agree that: (i) you will base any Rating or Review on first-hand experience with the Merchant or business; (ii) you will not provide a Rating or Review for any Merchant or business for which you have an ownership interest, employment relationship, or other affiliation or for any competitor of such a Merchant or business; (iii) you will not submit a Rating or Review in exchange for payment, free food items, or other benefits from a Merchant or business; (iv) for United States Orders, any Rating or Review you submit will comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising; (v) for Canada Orders, any Rating or Review you submit will comply with the Competition Bureau’s Enforcement Guidelines and Advertising Standards Canada's Interpretation Guideline for Testimonials, Endorsements and Reviews; (vi) your Rating or Review will comply with the terms of this Agreement; (vii) we may decide to not publish, display, or otherwise make available your Rating or Review for any reason in our sole discretion; (viii) any Rating or Review you submit will comply with our Content Guidelines; (ix) a Rating, Review, or photo displayed in connection with a restaurant may reflect an in-person dining experience; and (x) a Rating, Review, or photo may not have originally been submitted on the DoorDash platform and/or may not have been submitted by a DoorDash customer. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that any Rating or Review could diminish the integrity of the Ratings and Reviews or otherwise violates this Agreement, we may remove such Rating or Review without notice and take any additional action, in DoorDash’s sole discretion, as we deem necessary or appropriate.
9. Communications with DoorDash
By creating a DoorDash account or using the Technology or Services, you agree to: (a) accept and receive communications from or on behalf of DoorDash, Contractors, Merchants, partners, and/or third parties providing services to you or DoorDash, including via email, text message, direct message, chat, and calls, to the contact information you provide to DoorDash when registering an account or using the Technology or Services; and (b) receive communications via push notification or in-app messages in the DoorDash or Caviar mobile application. Further, you understand and agree that you may receive communications (e.g., calls, text messages, etc.) that are generated by an automatic telephone dialing system, and/or which will deliver prerecorded or automated messages, sent by or on behalf of DoorDash and Merchants (e.g., Merchants facilitating the delivery of your order), including but not limited to communications concerning orders you place through your account on the Services. For clarification, you acknowledge and agree that you will receive communications from Contractors who are facilitating your receipt of the benefit of the Services (including multimedia messaging service (“MMS”) messages to confirm the delivery of your order). Message and data rates may apply and message frequency may vary. The communications in this Section 9 may include, without limitation, commercial or marketing messages (see Section 24 for information about consumer marketing text messages), transactional or relationship messages (e.g., messages about the availability of our services (e.g., interruptions in service), security and/or fraud (e.g., password reset messages), safety, responses to communications initiated by you, updates to policies/legal agreements (e.g., privacy policies, terms of service)), newsletters, and messages relating to research, political advocacy, or customer support (those initiated by you and by us). You acknowledge that receiving commercial or marketing messages or calls is not a requirement or condition for you to use the Services. For purposes of clarity, any message (including text message) or call you may receive from us, a Merchant, or a Contractor regarding an order is a transactional message, not a commercial, marketing, or promotional message or call. If there are changes to your contact information (e.g., email address, phone number), you agree to update your account to help prevent or limit DoorDash inadvertently communicating with someone else.
The opt-out options for communications are set out below. If you opt out of receiving communications via one channel, that opt out will only apply to the specific channel for which the opt out is submitted (e.g., if you opt out of receiving email communications, it will not apply to any other channels through which communications can be sent). Please see the following for more information:
- For email communications that permit opting out (e.g., commercial/marketing messages), there is an opt-out mechanism in the messages. For transactional or relationship email messages, the only opt-out option is to delete your account.
- To opt out of receiving transactional or relationship text messages (e.g., order updates), you can: (x) toggle or slide off this type of message in your account settings; (y) reply “STOP” to a text message you receive; or (z) send “STOP” to 87424. For MMS messages sent by Contractors to confirm the delivery of your order, you cannot opt out of receiving these messages unless you stop using the Services and delete your account.
- For phone calls, you can submit a request to be added to DoorDash’s internal do not call list by making the request during the call or contacting DoorDash Support at (855) 431-0459.
- For push notifications, you can toggle or slide off these notifications in the mobile application.
- To opt out of all communications, the only option is to delete your account.
Review the DoorDash Privacy Policy for more information about DoorDash’s privacy practices, contact information, and opt-out options.
You authorize your wireless carrier to use or disclose information about your account and your wireless device, if available, to DoorDash or its service provider for the duration of your business relationship, solely to help them identify you or your wireless device and to prevent fraud. See our Privacy Policy for how we treat your data.
10. Electronic Records
By creating a DoorDash account or using the Technology or Services, you consent to the use of electronic records. You also agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that DoorDash provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement for such communications to be in writing. You agree to keep your contact information, including email address, current. This paragraph does not affect your statutory rights.
To view and retain a copy of this Agreement, you will need (a) a device (such as a computer or mobile phone) with a web browser and Internet access, and (b) either a printer or storage space on such device.
11. Intellectual Property Ownership
DoorDash alone (and its licensors, where applicable) shall own all right, title, and interest, including all related intellectual property rights, in and to the Technology and the Services. This Agreement is not a sale and does not convey to you any rights of ownership in or related to the Technology or the Services, or any intellectual property rights owned by DoorDash. DoorDash names, DoorDash logos, and the product names associated with the Technology and Services are trademarks of DoorDash or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them. You agree that you will not remove, alter, or obscure any copyright, trademark, service mark, or other proprietary rights notices incorporated in or accompanying the Technology or the Services.
12. Payment Terms
(a) Prices and Charges. You understand that: (i) the prices for menu or other items displayed through the Services may differ from the prices offered or published by Merchants for the same menu or other items and/or from prices available at third-party websites and that such prices may not be the lowest prices at which the menu or other items are sold and may change at any time without notice; (ii) DoorDash has no obligation to itemize its costs, profits, or margins when publishing such prices; and (iii) pricing may change at any time, in the discretion of DoorDash or the Merchant (depending on which party sets the given price). For certain transactions, the subtotals shown at checkout are estimates that may be higher or lower depending on the final in-store totals. In those situations, DoorDash reserves the right to temporarily authorize or place a hold on your payment method for an amount that may be greater than the amount shown at checkout and to charge your payment method the final price after checkout. You are liable for all transaction taxes (other than taxes based on DoorDash’s income), including sales tax, use tax, goods and services tax, and other transaction taxes if applicable, on the Services provided under this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes any fees DoorDash charges for DashPass subscriptions). If transaction taxes, including sales tax, use tax, goods and services tax, and other transaction taxes, are applicable, DoorDash reserves the right to charge you additional amounts on account of such taxes. For Australia and New Zealand Orders, all dollar amounts (including any fees, charges, prices, or amounts payable or receivable) displayed through the Services are stated on a goods and services tax-inclusive (if any) basis, except where noted; goods and services tax will be payable in addition to and at the same time as any amounts payable under these Terms. In the event that the charge to your payment method may incorrectly differ from the total amount, including subtotal, fees, and gratuity, displayed to you at checkout and/or after gratuity is selected, DoorDash reserves the right to make an additional charge to your payment method after the initial charge so that the total amount charged is consistent with the total amount displayed to you at checkout and/or after gratuity is selected. All payments will be processed by DoorDash and/or its payments processor, using the preferred payment method designated in your account. If your payment details change, you or your card provider may provide us with updated payment details. We may use these new details or details from other payment methods on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your use of the Services. This includes our right to charge any payment method on file if your initial form of preferred payment fails. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date.
(b) Strikethrough Pricing (United States Orders). This Section 12(b) applies to United States Orders. DoorDash may use strikethrough pricing for certain items (for example, when presenting a discount or promotional price for items). DoorDash does not represent that the strikethrough price was the regular or former price of items for any particular period of time and the time period may vary widely depending on the items. DoorDash may also rely on Merchants or a third party to provide information about the regular or former price of items offered by those Merchants or a third party, and DoorDash’s strikethrough price therefore may represent the price that DoorDash, a Merchant, or a third party offered the item for sale for some period of time. The strikethrough price may also be an introductory price that was offered for a short period of time. Unless otherwise specified, the strikethrough price represents a non-member discount to the extent the Merchant has a membership program.
(c) Refunds
(i) United States, Canada, and New Zealand Orders. This Section 12(c)(i) applies to United States, Canada, and New Zealand Orders. Charges paid by you for completed and delivered orders, or for orders confirmed by a Merchant, are final and non-refundable. DoorDash has no obligation to provide refunds or credits but may grant them gratuitously at DoorDash’s sole discretion in each case. You may be required to provide identification information and/or a signature upon pick up and/or receipt of certain orders, as communicated at the time you place your order; if you fail to provide the required identification information or signature for such an order, you agree and acknowledge that we will not honor any claim that your order was not delivered and you may be subject to a non-refundable Undeliverable Item Fee. For New Zealand Orders, nothing in this Section 12(c)(i) takes away from any rights you may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986.
(ii) Australia Orders. This Section 12(c)(ii) applies to Australia Orders. For orders placed with Merchants, to the extent permitted by law: (A) charges paid by you for completed and delivered orders are final and DoorDash has no obligation to provide refunds or credits; and (B) you may be required to provide identification information and/or a signature upon pick up and/or receipt of certain orders, as communicated at the time you place your order; if you fail to provide the required identification information or signature for such an order, you agree and acknowledge that we will not honor any claim that your order was not delivered and you may be subject to a non-refundable Undeliverable Item Fee. Nothing in this clause takes away from any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law. The Merchant will be liable for any major or minor problems with Merchant orders for which they are responsible, though DoorDash may assist, at its sole discretion, with remedies such as refunds or credits.
In order to make a claim for a refund or credit, please follow the procedures set out in the Technology or Services.
(d) Promotional Offers and Credits. DoorDash, at its sole discretion, may make promotional offers with different features and different pricing to any User. These promotional offers are subject to the terms of this Agreement and may be valid only for certain Users as indicated in the offer. You agree that promotional offers: (i) may only be used by the intended audience, for the intended purpose, and in a lawful manner; (ii) may not be duplicated, sold, or transferred in any manner, or made available to the general public, unless expressly permitted by DoorDash; (iii) are subject to the specific terms that DoorDash establishes for such promotional offer; (iv) cannot be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent; and (v) are not valid for use after the date indicated in the offer or in DoorDash’s Promotional Offers and Credits Terms and Conditions, which is, to the extent permitted by applicable law, incorporated in this Agreement by reference. DoorDash reserves the right to withhold or deduct credits or benefits obtained through a promotion, or to charge additional amounts that would have applied to the transaction had the promotion not applied, in the event that DoorDash determines or believes on reasonable grounds that the redemption of the promotion or receipt of the credit or benefit was in error, fraudulent, illegal, or in violation of the applicable promotion terms or this Agreement. Where required by law, which may include in the Province of Québec, we will provide you with written notice of any such withholding or deduction, including the reasons which led us to take such action. DoorDash reserves the right to modify or cancel an offer at any time. DoorDash’s Promotional Offers and Credits Terms and Conditions apply to all promotional offers. You agree that we may change the Promotional Offers and Credits Terms and Conditions at any time. DoorDash may also offer gratuitous credits, which can be used for the Services; such credits include, without limiting the foregoing, any credits earned through the DoorDash consumer referral program (the “Referral Program”). The Referral Program is governed by DoorDash’s Referral Program Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated herein by reference. You agree that we may change the Referral Program Terms and Conditions or terminate the Referral Program at any time. Any credit issued by DoorDash under this Section 12(d) is valid for 6 months from the date of issue, except as otherwise stated in the promotional offer or to the extent prohibited under applicable law, and may not be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent; however, your credits may expire earlier if your account is deactivated or deleted. Upon expiration, credits will be removed from your account. Expired credits are no longer redeemable and cannot be used towards any order. Credits issued to a User’s DoorDash or Caviar account may only be used on that respective brand’s Services.
(e) Fees for Services. DoorDash may change the fees that DoorDash charges you as we deem necessary or appropriate for our business, including but not limited to Delivery Fees, Service Fees, Small Order Fees, Expanded Range Fees, Regulatory Response Fees, and Surge Fees. DoorDash may offer different pricing to customers based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to geographic areas or usage. DoorDash may also charge you additional fees as required by law. Further, DoorDash may charge Merchants fees on orders that you place through the Services, including commissions and other fees, and may change those Merchant fees as we deem necessary or appropriate for our business or to comply with applicable law. DoorDash may charge you a Service Fee for the convenience of ordering through the DoorDash platform. None of the Service Fee, Delivery Fee, Small Order Fee, Surge Fee, or any other fee charged to you by DoorDash is for any right to access, install, or use any Technology.
(f) Gift Cards. Gift cards are governed by DoorDash’s Gift Card Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated herein by reference. Except as provided below, gift cards may be redeemable towards eligible orders placed on www.doordash.com or in the DoorDash mobile application or, for United States Orders only, on www.trycaviar.com or in the Caviar mobile application. But if you have a gift card that was purchased and used before September 15, 2020 in the United States, you must use any remaining balance of that gift card on the service (Caviar or DoorDash) where the card was first redeemed. Gift cards are issued by the following entities: DoorDash Giftcards LLC in the United States; DoorDash Technologies Canada, Inc. in Canada; DoorDash Technologies Pty Ltd in Australia; and DoorDash Technologies New Zealand in New Zealand. Gift cards are not redeemable for cash except when required by applicable law. Once a gift card is redeemed, the amount of the gift card is converted into credits linked to your account, and such credits may be used towards eligible DoorDash or, if applicable, Caviar orders. While credits from gift cards do not expire, you will lose access to such credits if your account is deactivated or deleted. Credits issued to a User’s DoorDash or Caviar account may only be used on that respective brand’s Services.
(g) SNAP/EBT (United States Orders but Excluding Puerto Rico Orders). This Section 12(g) applies to United States Orders (but excluding Puerto Rico Orders). DoorDash permits customers in the United States (but excluding Puerto Rico) to purchase Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) eligible items from select Merchants using a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer (“EBT”) card. For any transactions involving use of your SNAP EBT funds, a credit or debit card must also be linked to your DoorDash account to pay for any fees, taxes, delivery tips, and any other items you purchase that are not SNAP-eligible. You have the option to view SNAP-eligible items on the DoorDash platform by using a “SNAP” filter. SNAP-eligible items will also have a “SNAP” tag on their respective item details pages. By providing DoorDash with your SNAP EBT card information, you represent and warrant that (i) you are legally authorized to use the SNAP EBT card provided; (ii) your SNAP EBT card is current and valid; and (iii) you authorize DoorDash to use your SNAP EBT card information for transactions involving use of your SNAP EBT benefits. DoorDash cannot accept EBT cash at this time.
(h) Invoice or Other Taxable Supply Information (Australia, Canada, and New Zealand Orders). This Section 12(h) applies to Australia, Canada, and New Zealand Orders. A tax invoice (or alternative taxable supply information if and when permitted to be issued under Australia, Canada, or New Zealand tax law instead of a tax invoice) for DoorDash fees will be made available by DoorDash to you when DoorDash is legally required to do so, or otherwise at DoorDash’s sole discretion, upon you having submitted a request for a tax invoice (or tax information) at our Customer Support page. You agree that invoices (or alternative taxable supply information) will only be made in electronic form. In accordance with applicable laws, for tax invoices (or alternative taxable supply information) for menu items, you should contact the relevant Merchant(s).
(i) Checkout Merchants. DoorDash provides certain checkout-related services to third-party merchants outside of the DoorDash platform to facilitate the completion of transactions with such merchants (“Checkout Merchants”). If you are completing a transaction directly with a Checkout Merchant outside of the DoorDash platform and we determine that you are a registered DoorDash User, we may share certain information about you, including loyalty or rewards information, DashPass subscription status, and/or payment card, payment method, billing, and contact information, with the Checkout Merchant for the purpose of facilitating the transaction. The processing of such information by the Checkout Merchant is subject to the Checkout Merchant’s privacy policy, terms of service, and/or other applicable terms. DoorDash is not a party to any such transaction and DoorDash is not liable or responsible for the Checkout Merchant’s processing of your information. Any questions or disputes regarding such transactions or the processing of your information by the Checkout Merchant should be directed to the Checkout Merchant or your payment provider.
13. DashPass Subscriptions
(a) General. DashPass is an automatically renewing subscription requiring recurring payments until canceled. A DashPass subscription grants you access to certain benefits (“DashPass Benefits”) on eligible orders placed through the Services for eligible Merchants with a minimum subtotal (excluding taxes, fees, and tips) as indicated through the Services. DashPass Benefits include reduced fees for United States Orders and Canada Orders and $0 delivery fees for Australia Orders and New Zealand Orders. For certain DoorDash orders that may have alternative fee structures (for example, a flat DoorDash fee), DashPass Benefits may vary. DoorDash reserves the right to change whether a Merchant is eligible for DashPass at any time with or without notice. If you are a United States Consumer (excluding a United States Consumer whose primary residence is in Puerto Rico), you acknowledge that you are purchasing a DashPass subscription exclusively from DoorDash, Inc. DashPass orders are subject to delivery driver and geographic availability, and taxes may apply to the cost of the items you order and/or to fees charged. You may provide an optional gratuity. Service Fees and other fees may apply. We reserve the right to add and modify fees that may apply to your DashPass orders. Your DashPass Benefits will extend to both DoorDash and Caviar (if applicable) when you register for a DashPass subscription.
DashPass is offered for a monthly or yearly fee payable at the start of the relevant period. By signing up for DashPass, you agree that: (i) you will be charged your first DashPass subscription fee and any applicable taxes (such as sales tax, use tax, goods and services tax, and other transaction taxes) on the date you purchase your DashPass subscription or, if your subscription includes a free trial, on the day after your free trial ends; (ii) you authorize DoorDash and its service providers to store your payment method for the purpose of executing future DashPass auto-renewal transactions; (iii) UNLESS YOU CANCEL, BY DEFAULT (AND WITH PRIOR NOTICE ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW), YOUR DASHPASS SUBSCRIPTION WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD; and (iv) AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL, DOORDASH WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE THE THEN-CURRENT DASHPASS SUBSCRIPTION FEE AND ANY APPLICABLE TAXES TO AN ELIGIBLE PAYMENT METHOD THAT WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU. If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with updated payment details. We may use these new details or details from other payment methods on file in order to help prevent any interruption to your DashPass subscription. This includes our right to charge any payment method on file if your initial form of preferred payment fails. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date. If any subscription fee is not paid in a timely manner or your transaction cannot be processed, we reserve the right to suspend, disable, cancel, or terminate your access to the Services or your DashPass subscription. Where required by law, which may include in the Province of Québec, we will provide you with written notice of the suspension, disabling, cancellation, or termination of your access to the Services or your DashPass subscription, including the reasons which led us to take such action. You will be responsible for paying all past due amounts.
(b) Corporate DashPass Subscriptions. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, you may be eligible for a complimentary DashPass subscription when your employer registers for a corporate DashPass subscription. If you have a complimentary DashPass subscription through your employer, your account will begin and end in accordance with the terms of your employer’s corporate subscription unless your subscription is otherwise canceled. To receive the subscription benefits, you must register using your corporate email address and be an authorized User added by your employer, and then click or tap the activation button.
(c) DashPass Student Plan. DoorDash may offer DashPass student plan subscriptions at a discounted price on either a monthly or annual basis to qualifying individuals who meet the eligibility requirements stated at sign up, including but not limited to current enrollment at an accredited college or university. Individuals may be required to provide documentation so that DoorDash may verify their eligibility for a DashPass student plan. DashPass student plan subscriptions are subject to this Agreement and DoorDash’s Promotional Offers and Credits Terms and Conditions.
(d) Trial or Promotional Subscriptions. From time to time, DoorDash may offer some customers trial or other promotional subscriptions to DashPass, whether directly from DoorDash or in partnership with a third party. Such trial or promotional subscriptions are available only for Users who have not previously subscribed to DashPass (whether on a free or paid plan) and are subject to this Agreement and DoorDash’s Promotional Offers and Credits Terms and Conditions except as otherwise stated in the promotional offer. If you do not cancel your free trial or promotional subscription within the trial or promotional pricing period, you agree to purchase a paid DashPass subscription at the then-current fee. When your free trial or promotional pricing period has expired, your subscription will automatically convert into a paid, automatically renewing DashPass subscription, and DoorDash will bill you the applicable fee (plus applicable taxes, such as sales tax, use tax, goods and services tax, and other transaction taxes) unless you cancel. If you cancel DashPass before the trial period has expired, DoorDash will not charge you for the DashPass subscription. If you purchase a DashPass subscription with a promotional code, each time your DashPass subscription renews, you will be charged the full billing amount. Only one trial or promotional subscription is available per household. If your DashPass subscription is ever terminated for any reason, you shall not be eligible for a free trial on any subsequent DashPass subscription.
(e) DashPass Gift Subscriptions. DoorDash may offer customers the opportunity to purchase DashPass gift subscriptions (“DashPass Gift Subscriptions”) and then send these DashPass Gift Subscriptions to other customers to redeem (“Gift Subscription Recipients”). Such DashPass Gift Subscriptions are subject to this Agreement and the DashPass Gift Membership Terms and Conditions. DashPass Gift Subscriptions can only be purchased and redeemed by Users who have or create a valid DoorDash account with a valid form of accepted payment on file. A DashPass Gift Subscription entitles the Gift Subscription Recipient to a DashPass subscription for the length of time identified in the DashPass Gift Subscription confirmation (the “DashPass Gift Subscription Period”).
DashPass Gift Subscriptions are issued by the following entities: DoorDash Giftcards LLC in the United States; DoorDash Technologies Canada, Inc. in Canada; DoorDash Technologies Australia Pty Ltd in Australia; and DoorDash Technologies New Zealand in New Zealand.
DashPass Gift Subscriptions cannot be redeemed by DashPass subscribers currently enrolled in any free, paid, or discounted partnership subscription plan (“Excluded Subscription Plans”). Any Gift Subscription Recipients of a DashPass Gift Subscription currently enrolled in an Excluded Subscription Plan may choose to transfer their DashPass Gift Subscription to another customer. For Gift Subscription Recipients enrolled in an eligible existing paid DashPass subscription at the time of redemption of a DashPass Gift Subscription, such eligible existing paid DashPass subscription will continue through the end of the Gift Subscription Recipient’s current DashPass billing cycle before the DashPass Gift Subscription will be applied. For Gift Subscription Recipients enrolled in an eligible existing DashPass subscription currently in a free period at the time of redemption of a DashPass Gift Subscription, the DashPass Gift Subscription will be applied immediately upon redemption and any unused days in the previous free period will be forfeited.
For all Gift Subscription Recipients, after the DashPass Gift Subscription Period ends, that subscription will automatically convert into a paid monthly DashPass subscription, and DoorDash will charge the Gift Subscription Recipient the applicable monthly fee to the preferred payment method designated in the Gift Subscription Recipient’s DoorDash account. All purchases of DashPass Gift Subscriptions are final and non-refundable.
(f) Cancellations. When you cancel a DashPass subscription, you cancel only future charges associated with your DashPass subscription. You may initiate your cancellation at any time through the Services, but the cancellation will become effective at the end of your current subscription period. Instructions on how to cancel are available here. You must cancel at least one (1) day before the next-scheduled subscription renewal date to avoid being charged for the next subscription period (for example, if the renewal date is January 10, you must cancel by 11:59:59 pm on January 9).
If you participated in a free trial or other promotional subscription period for DashPass, you may cancel within the first 48 hours of your first paid DashPass subscription period and receive a full refund of your DashPass fee (as applicable).
For both monthly and annual subscribers, if you cancel your DashPass subscription within the first 48 hours of your first subscription period and have not placed a DashPass-eligible order during that period, DoorDash may, in its sole discretion, refund your DashPass fee. If we issue a refund, credit, or discount, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future.
UNLESS YOU ARE A CANADA CONSUMER WHO RESIDES IN THE PROVINCE OF QUÉBEC AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW (INCLUDING THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW FOR AUSTRALIAN CONSUMERS AND THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993 OR FAIR TRADING ACT 1986 FOR NEW ZEALAND CONSUMERS), YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FEE IS NONREFUNDABLE and if you cancel your DashPass subscription, you will not receive a refund, but you can continue to enjoy the DashPass Benefits through the end of your then-current subscription period. For Canada Consumers who reside in the Province of Québec, if you cancel your annual subscription, you may request a prorated refund by calling Support at 855-431-0459.

14. Arbitration Agreement
THIS SECTION 14 OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE REFERRED TO AS THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.”
Please read this Section 14 carefully. It requires, unless you are a Canada Consumer who resides in the Province of Québec, that any and all claims between you and DoorDash be resolved by binding arbitration or in small claims court or tribunal. Unless you are an Australia Consumer and to the extent permitted by applicable law, this Section 14 prevents you from pursuing a class action or similar proceeding in any forum. Arbitration is required if your country of residence enforces arbitration agreements. If you are outside the United States, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, but attempt to bring a claim in one of those countries, arbitration is required for determination of the threshold issue of whether this Section 14 applies to you, as well as all other threshold determinations, including residency, arbitrability, venue, and applicable law. If your country of residence does not enforce arbitration agreements, the mandatory pre-arbitration dispute resolution and notification and prohibition on class actions or representative proceedings provided below still apply to the extent enforceable by law.
(a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before, on, or after the effective date of this Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the subject matter of the Agreement, to your access or use of the Services as a User of the Services, to any advertising or marketing communications regarding DoorDash or the Services, to any products or services sold or distributed through the Services that you received as a User of our Services, or to any aspect of your relationship or transactions with DoorDash as a User of our Services (this includes, without limitation, any contract claim, tort claim, statutory claim, or claim for unfair competition), will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as otherwise required by law—such as individual claims for sexual assault or sexual harassment arising from use of the Services by United States Consumers—or as otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, either you or DoorDash may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). Either you or DoorDash may also, to the extent permitted by applicable law, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this paragraph may be rendered ineffectual. The following additional jurisdiction-specific exception to the foregoing applies to United States, Australia, and New Zealand Consumers only:
(i) United States and New Zealand Consumers Only. You may assert claims in small claims court or tribunal if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
CASES HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST DOORDASH—AND OTHERS MAY BE FILED IN THE FUTURE—THAT ATTEMPT TO ASSERT CLASS ACTION CLAIMS, AND BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT YOU ELECT NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH CASES.
IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH DOORDASH, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY SUCH CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE LAWSUIT. INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST DOORDASH IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.
(b) Informal Resolution. You and DoorDash agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost, and mutually beneficial outcome. You and DoorDash therefore agree that, before either you or DoorDash demands or attempts to commence arbitration against the other, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim covered by this mutual Arbitration Agreement. The informal dispute resolution conferences shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party intends to commence individual arbitration; multiple individuals initiating claims cannot participate in the same informal telephonic dispute resolution conference, unless mutually agreed to by the parties. If a party is represented by counsel, the party’s counsel may participate in the conference, but both parties (you and DoorDash) shall also fully participate in the conference. The party initiating the claim must give notice to the other party in writing of their intent to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, which shall occur within 60 days after the other party receives such notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties. To notify DoorDash that you intend to initiate an informal dispute resolution conference, email Informal.Resolution@doordash.com, providing your name, telephone number associated with your DoorDash account (if any), the email address associated with your DoorDash account, and a description of your claim. In the interval between the party receiving such notice and the informal dispute resolution conference, the parties shall be free to attempt to resolve the initiating party’s claims. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.
Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration. An arbitration shall be dismissed if it was filed without fully and completely complying with these informal dispute resolution procedures. If an arbitration is dismissed because a party willfully failed to comply with these informal dispute resolution procedures, the arbitrator may order the non-compliant party to pay any arbitration filing fees and costs incurred by the other party.
(c) Arbitration Rules and Forum
(i) United States Consumers Only. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) in all respects. If for whatever reason the rules and procedures of the FAA cannot apply, the state law governing arbitration agreements in the state in which you reside shall apply. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certify completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to Section 14(b). If this notice is being sent to DoorDash, it must be sent by email to the counsel who represented DoorDash in the informal dispute resolution process, or if there was no such counsel, then by mail to General Counsel, at 303 2nd Street, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA, 94107.
If you reside in California (“California Consumer”), the arbitration will be conducted by ADR Services, Inc. under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If you reside outside of California (“Non-California Consumer”), the arbitration will be conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) under its rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Once the notice certifying completion of the informal dispute resolution conference has been served, the party seeking to arbitrate must then file their arbitration demands with ADR Services, Inc. or NAM, depending on the location of residence as described above. If the arbitration is filed with a different arbitration provider than the one required by this Agreement, that provider shall immediately dismiss the arbitration demand.
The demand must include (A) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of the party seeking arbitration; (B) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (C) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy, enumerated in United States Dollars (any request for injunctive relief or attorneys’ fees shall not count toward the calculation of the amount in controversy unless such injunctive relief seeks the payment of money); and (D) the signature of the party seeking arbitration. Disputes shall be subject to ADR Services, Inc.’s most current version of its Arbitration Rules, available at www.adrservices.com/services-2/arbitration-rules/ or by calling ADR Services, Inc. at 310-201-0010 (for California Consumers) or NAM’s most current version of its Comprehensive Rules and Procedures and, if applicable, its Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, available at www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/ (for Non-California Consumers). The fees that shall apply to arbitrations administered by ADR Services, Inc. are set forth in ADR Services, Inc.’s General Fee Schedule or ADR Services, Inc.’s Mass Consumer Non-Employment Arbitration Fee Schedule, when applicable. ADR Services, Inc.’s Fee Schedules are available at www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/. The fees that shall apply to arbitrations administered by NAM are set forth in NAM’s Fees for Disputes Where One of the Parties Is a Consumer, available at www.namadr.com/resources/rules-fees-forms/. DoorDash will pay the portion of the initial case opening fees (if any) that exceeds the filing fee to file the case in a court of competent jurisdiction embracing the location of the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by ADR Services, Inc.’s rules (for California Consumers) or NAM’s rules (for Non-California Consumers). If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay the filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the applicable arbitration provider, DoorDash will pay them for you. Any finding that a claim or counterclaim violates the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 shall entitle the other party to recover their attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses associated with defending against the claim or counterclaim. If a party timely serves an offer of judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 or a state or local equivalent, if applicable, and the judgment that the other party finally obtains is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, then the other party shall pay the costs, including filing fees, incurred after the offer was made.
If ADR Services, Inc. (for California Consumers) or NAM (for Non-California Consumers) is not available or willing to arbitrate, the parties will mutually select an alternative arbitral forum. If, and only if, the parties are unable to agree on an alternative arbitral forum, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and, if applicable, its Supplementary Rules for Mass Arbitrations. If AAA is also not available or willing to arbitrate and the parties remain unable to agree on an alternative arbitral forum, either party may invoke 9 U.S.C. § 5 to request that a court of competent jurisdiction appoint an arbitrator.
To the extent there is a dispute over which arbitration provider shall administer the arbitration, only a court (and not an arbitrator or arbitration administrator) can resolve that dispute, and the arbitration shall be stayed until the court resolves that dispute. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by video conference. The parties agree that all of the arbitration proceedings, including any discovery, hearings, and rulings, shall be confidential to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If at any time the arbitrator or arbitration administrator fails to enforce the terms of this Agreement, either party may seek to enjoin the arbitration proceeding in court, and the arbitration shall automatically be stayed pending the outcome of that proceeding.
If the arbitration involves a request for an injunction or monetary relief that exceeds $1,000,000 (one million dollars), then either party shall have the right to appeal that award to an arbitration appellate panel. The notice of appeal must be served, in writing, on the opposing party within fourteen (14) days after the award has become final. ADR Services, Inc. (for California Consumers) or NAM (for Non-California Consumers) shall administer the appeal consistent with the NAM Appellate Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures, available at www.namadr.com/practice-areas/appellate-arbitration/.
(ii) Canada Consumers Only (Except Those who Reside in the Province of Québec). To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Arbitration Agreement is governed by the domestic arbitration act in the province in which you reside and ADR Institute of Canada, Inc.’s Arbitration Rules (adric.ca/case-administration-services/) (“ADRIC Rules”) as applicable, in all respects except as otherwise expressly agreed herein. Before a party may begin an arbitration proceeding, that party must send notice of an intent to initiate arbitration and certify completion of the informal dispute resolution conference pursuant to Section 14(b). If this notice is being sent to DoorDash, it must be sent by email to the counsel who represented DoorDash in the informal dispute resolution process, or if there was no such counsel, then by mail to General Counsel, DoorDash at 1066 West Hastings Street, Suite 2000, Vancouver BC V6E 3X2, Canada; and legal@doordash.com. Arbitration demands shall be filed with ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. (“ADRIC”) and shall be submitted in accordance with the ADRIC Rules and must include: (A) the name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address of the party seeking arbitration; (B) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (C) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good-faith calculation of the amount in controversy (any request for injunctive relief or attorneys’ fees shall not count toward the calculation of the amount in controversy unless such injunctive relief seeks the payment of money); and (D) the signature of the party seeking arbitration. Your demand for arbitration must also be delivered to General Counsel, DoorDash at 1066 West Hastings Street, Suite 2000, Vancouver BC V6E 3X2, Canada; and legal@doordash.com. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the ADRIC Rules, the arbitration shall be heard by a single arbitrator (selected in accordance with the ADRIC Rules), who shall be a lawyer or former judge. The seat of the arbitration shall be the capital city of the province of your primary residence as of the effective date of this Agreement. However, at your request, the arbitration hearing may take place at a location that is within 45 kilometres of your primary residence as of the effective date of this Agreement. The parties agree that the arbitration may proceed virtually, and the arbitrator has the discretion to order a virtual arbitration at the request of either party. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, you and DoorDash shall pay equal shares of the applicable filing fees and other similar and usual administrative costs, as are common to both court and administrative proceedings. DoorDash shall pay any additional costs uniquely associated with arbitration, such as payment of the costs of ADRIC and the Arbitrator, as well as room rental or technical assistance required to support a virtual arbitration. The current fee schedule under the ADRIC Rules is available at the following link: adric.ca/case-administration-services/. If ADRIC is not available to arbitrate, the parties will mutually select an alternative arbitral forum.
(iii) Australia Consumers Only. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, General Counsel, at Level 15, 222 Exhibition Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia. The arbitration will be conducted by the Australian Disputes Centre (“ADC”) under then-current arbitration rules and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The ADC’s arbitration rules are available at: disputescentre.com.au/adc-rules-for-domestic-arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees will be governed by the ADC’s rules. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay the ADC’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver of fees from the ADC, DoorDash will pay them for you. In addition, DoorDash will reimburse all such ADC’s filing, administrative, hearing, and/or other fees for claims with an amount in controversy totaling less than AUD $10,000. If the ADC is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
(iv) New Zealand Consumers Only. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Arbitration Act 1996 and Schedule 2 of the Arbitration Act 1996 will not apply to any arbitration. Where you are a “consumer” for the purposes of the Arbitration Act 1996, this agreement to arbitrate is subject to a separate written agreement after the dispute has arisen in accordance with section 11 of the Arbitration Act 1996.
(d) Arbitrator Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, provincial, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable, to the extent permitted by applicable law except with respect to Section 14(f) below (Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions; Waiver of Public Injunctive Relief), the enforceability of which can only be determined by a court.
The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and DoorDash. Except as expressly agreed to in Section 14(g) of this Agreement, the arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other proceedings or parties. The arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties, to the extent permitted by law) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party's claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes. For example, the parties agree that the Apex Doctrine shall apply and therefore preclude depositions of either party’s current or former high-level officers absent a showing that the officer has unique, personal knowledge of discoverable information and less burdensome discovery methods have been exhausted. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award, on an individual basis, monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and DoorDash.
(e) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND DOORDASH WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND RECEIVE A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL. You and DoorDash are instead electing to have all disputes resolved by binding arbitration, except as specified in Section 14(a) above. Binding arbitration is a dispute resolution process in which a neutral third party (the arbitrator) makes a final and binding decision resolving the dispute. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
(f) Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions; Waiver of Public Injunctive Relief (United States, Canada, and New Zealand Consumers Only). THIS SECTION14(f) DOES NOT APPLY TO AUSTRALIA CONSUMERS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AGREED TO IN SECTION 14(g) OF THIS AGREEMENT AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND DOORDASH AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RESOLVE CLAIMS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) a civil court of competent jurisdiction finds all or part of the Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions is unenforceable, the class, collective, or representative action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Waiver of Class, Consolidated, and Representative Actions that is enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration. The portion of such dispute proceeding in court shall be stayed pending the conclusion of the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any claim that all or part of the waivers set forth in Section 14(f) is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. This provision does not prevent you or DoorDash from settling claims on a class, collective, or representative basis.
(g) Grouped Arbitrations. To the extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to increase efficiency of resolution, in the event 100 or more similar arbitration demands are presented to an arbitration provider selected in accordance with the rules described above within a 30-day period: (A) the parties shall cooperate to organize the arbitration demands into randomized groups of no more than 100 demands (plus, to the extent there are fewer than 100 arbitration demands remaining after the assigning as described above, a final group consisting of the remaining demands); (B) claimants’ counsel shall organize and present the grouped demands to the arbitration provider in a format as directed by the arbitration provider; (C) the arbitration provider shall assess one set of filing and administrative fees per group and shall assign one arbitrator per group, pursuant to the applicable arbitration provider’s rules governing arbitrator assignment and subject to any applicable disclosure and disqualification procedures available under applicable law; (D) the arbitration provider shall set up one Arbitration Management Conference per group; (E) regardless of the grouping described above, the arbitrator shall resolve all arbitrations within a group on an individual basis; and (F) no final award from an arbitrator in any one arbitration shall have preclusive effect in any other arbitration. You agree to cooperate in good faith with DoorDash and the arbitration provider to implement such a grouped approach to administration and fees. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, grouped arbitrations shall take place in person or, if the parties prefer, by video conference. The parties may also agree to conduct arbitration based on written submissions alone.
(h) Opt Out. DoorDash’s updates to these Terms and Conditions do not provide a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement for customers or Users who had previously agreed to a version of DoorDash’s or Caviar’s Terms and Conditions and did not validly opt out of arbitration. DoorDash will continue to honor the valid opt outs of customers or Users who validly opted out of the Arbitration Agreement in a prior version of the Terms and Conditions. If you are a customer or User who creates a DoorDash or Caviar account for the first time on or after the effective date of these Terms and Conditions, you may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you do so, neither you nor DoorDash can force the other to arbitrate as a result of this Agreement. To opt out, you must notify DoorDash in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your DoorDash username (if any), the email address you currently use to access your DoorDash account (if you have one), and a CLEAR statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to: opt-out@doordash.com. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may have entered into with us or may enter into in the future with us.
(i) No Effect on Independent Contractor Agreement. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE, AMEND, OR MODIFY THE TERMS OF ANY SEPARATE AGREEMENT(S) BETWEEN YOU AND DOORDASH RELATING TO YOUR WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT GOVERNING YOUR SERVICES AS A CONTRACTOR. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, IF YOU ARE A CONTRACTOR, OPTING OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SET FORTH IN SECTION 14 HAS NO EFFECT ON YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES COVERED BY YOUR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT WITH DOORDASH.
(j) Survival. This Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of your relationship with DoorDash.
(k) Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if DoorDash makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to DoorDash.
(l) Entire Agreement; Severability. This Arbitration Agreement is the full and complete agreement relating to the formal resolution of disputes covered by this Arbitration Agreement. In the event any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement will be enforceable.
15. Third-Party Interactions
(a) Third-Party Websites, Applications, and Advertisements. The Services may contain links to third-party websites (“Third-Party Websites”), applications (“Third-Party Applications”), and advertisements (“Third-Party Advertisements”) (collectively, “Third-Party Websites and Advertisements”). When you click or tap on a link to a Third-Party Website, Third-Party Application, or Third-Party Advertisement, DoorDash will not warn you that you have left DoorDash’s website or Services and will not warn you that you are subject to the terms and conditions (including privacy policies) of another website or destination.

(b) App Stores. You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Technology and the Services is dependent on the third party from which you received the application license, such as the Apple or Android app store (each, an “App Store”). You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is between you and DoorDash and not with the App Store. DoorDash, not the App Store, is solely responsible for the Technology and the Services, including the mobile application(s), the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating thereto (for example, product liability, legal compliance, or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Technology and the Services, you must have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Technology or the Services. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Technology and the Services is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms or agreements (for example, the App Store’s terms and policies) when using the Technology or the Services. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or similar laws of other countries where applicable, or that has been designated by the United States or Canadian Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and you represent and warrant that you are not listed on any United States or Canadian Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You acknowledge and agree that each App Store (and its affiliates) is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement and has the right to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
16. Transactions Involving Alcohol and Other Age-Restricted Products
You may have the option to request delivery or pickup of alcohol products in some locations and from certain Merchants. You agree that you will only order alcohol products if you, the intended recipient, and anyone who may consume the alcohol products are of legal age to purchase and consume alcohol products in the relevant jurisdiction. You also agree that, upon delivery or pickup of alcohol products, the recipient of any alcohol products will provide valid government-issued identification proving the requisite legal age and that the recipient will not be intoxicated when receiving such products. If you order alcohol products, you understand and acknowledge that the order will only be delivered if the Merchant accepts your order. The person delivering alcohol may be legally obligated to refuse delivery pursuant to applicable federal, state, provincial, or local laws, rules, or regulations, including if the recipient is not of legal age, is visibly intoxicated, or is not physically present to accept the delivery, and will be prompted to refuse delivery if the recipient cannot provide a valid government-issued identification proving requisite legal age, is visibly intoxicated, or is not physically present to accept the delivery. If the delivery of alcohol products cannot be completed for one or more of these reasons, you agree and acknowledge that your purchase is non-refundable and you or the intended recipient may not receive any part of the applicable order, including any non-alcohol items that you may have purchased with your alcohol products, and you may also be subject to a non-refundable Undeliverable Item Fee. Alcohol is not available in all locations that are served by the DoorDash platform. Alcohol may be removed from the platform for specific Users at DoorDash’s sole discretion.
You may also have the option to request delivery or pickup of other age-restricted items from certain Merchants, such as certain over-the-counter medication or other products subject to applicable federal, state, provincial, or local laws, rules, or regulations or Merchant or DoorDash policies requiring age verification. You agree that you will only order age-restricted items if you, the intended recipient, or anyone who may consume such products are of legal age to purchase the items. You also agree that, upon delivery or pickup of age-restricted items, the recipient will provide valid government-issued identification proving the requisite legal age for such age-restricted items. The person delivering age-restricted items will refuse delivery pursuant to applicable federal, state, provincial, or local laws, rules, or regulations, including if the recipient cannot provide a valid government-issued identification proving requisite legal age or is not physically present to accept the delivery. If the delivery of age-restricted items cannot be completed for one or more of these reasons, you agree and acknowledge that your purchase is non-refundable and you may not receive any part of your order, including items that are not age-restricted that you may have purchased with your age-restricted items, and you may also be subject to a non-refundable Undeliverable Item Fee.
17. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless DoorDash and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, claims, actions, costs, damages, penalties, fines, and expenses, including without limitation, legal and/or attorneys’ fees and expenses, that may be incurred by an Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to, or resulting from (a) your User Content; (b) your misuse of the Technology or Services; (c) your breach of this Agreement or any representation, warranty, condition, or covenant in this Agreement; or (d) your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations through or related to the use of the Technology or Services.

24. Consumer Marketing Text Messages (United States Consumers Only)
This Section 24 only applies to United States Consumers who request, agree, sign up, or otherwise consent to receive consumer marketing text messages (“Opt In”).
You authorize us to send consumer marketing text messages, including text messages sent via an automatic telephone dialing system, to the phone number associated with your Opt In. Consumer marketing text messages include, by way of example, messages that contain promotional offers or discounts, messages related to goods and services offered by DoorDash, or messages informing you that you still have items in your shopping cart. You do not have to Opt In as a condition of purchase or signing up for, accessing, using, or continuing to use the DoorDash platform. You confirm that you are the subscriber to the relevant phone number or that you are the customary user of that number and that you are authorized to Opt In. If you change or deactivate your phone number, you agree to update your DoorDash account to help prevent us from inadvertently communicating with anyone who acquires your prior phone number.
To stop or unsubscribe from receiving consumer marketing text messages, either reply to such a message with “STOP” or text “STOP” to 63758, and the phone number associated with your Opt In will be unsubscribed from consumer marketing text messages. You may receive a text message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. If you are experiencing issues with consumer marketing text messages, either reply to such a message with “HELP” or text “HELP” to 63758. For customer support, call 855-431-0459 or visit our Customer Support page.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. We may stop sending consumer marketing text messages to you at any time with or without notice. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
