To make sure you understand the acts that can lead to having your account revoked, we’ve included a list of things to avoid and best practices to make sure you stay on track!
Duplicate Accounts
Utilising new account(s) after already being revoked and/or utilising multiple courier accounts to increase the likelihood of runs/orders.
Best Practice: Only hold one account on the platform.
Unnecessary delays
Courier actions impacting the arrival time at the partners location.
Best Practice: Move directly to the restaurant after accepting an order.
Item Theft/Undelivered Orders
Accepting orders and failing to collect / deliver in its entirety. This includes repeatedly cancelling orders and flash marking orders as “Delivered”
Best Practice: Once the order has been accepted, couriers are obliged to collect and deliver the order unless exceptional circumstances apply.
Spoofing
Using 3rd party software to falsify location during an order for any reason.
Best Practice: Do not use any third-party apps and/or software to interfere with the courier app at any time.
VAT Fraud
Falsely claiming to be VAT registered and /or knowingly supplying false information for financial gain.
Best Practice: While it is not an obligation for you to be VAT registered you must inform us if you are VAT registered and subsequently inform us immediately should your registration status change by emailing us. You must also notify us immediately if your VAT registration number changes or if you sell all or part of your business.
Shift Grabbers/Run Abuse
The use of third party apps to secure open runs through an enhanced refresh rate and automated acceptance.
Best Practice: Do not use any third-party apps and/or software to interfere with the courier app at any time.
Fraudulent Holds
