You represent and warrant that all information provided during registration is truthful and that you will maintain and promptly update such information to keep it accurate and current.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater, to create an account. If you are registering on behalf of a business entity, you must have the legal authority to bind that entity.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, including your password and any authentication tokens. You agree to use strong, unique passwords and to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) where available, particularly for accounts with administrative privileges.
You must not share your account credentials with any third party. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, regardless of whether such activities were authorised by you. You agree to immediately notify Ordeliya at security@ordeliya.com of any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security.
3.3 Multi-Store Access
The Platform supports multi-store access, allowing a single user account to be associated with multiple Stores under one or more Websites.

You acknowledge that access permissions are set by the Store Owner or Admin and may be modified or revoked at any time.
3.4 Account Suspension
Ordeliya reserves the right to suspend or disable your account if we reasonably believe that your account has been compromised, that you have provided false registration information, or that your use of the Platform violates these Terms. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you prior to or promptly after such suspension, except where doing so would compromise security or violate applicable law.
4.The Ordeliya Platform
Ordeliya provides a comprehensive software-as-a-service platform designed specifically for restaurants, cafes, and food service businesses. The Platform comprises the following core service areas, each subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
4.1 Online Ordering
The Platform enables Merchants to create and manage digital menus, accept online orders from Customers, and process payments through integrated payment providers. Merchants can configure products, variants, option groups (modifiers, toppings, extras), pricing, availability schedules, and fulfilment methods including delivery, pickup, and curbside collection.
4.2 Table Reservations
The reservation system allows Customers to book tables at participating Stores. Merchants can configure dining areas, table layouts, booking concepts, capacity rules, deposit requirements, waitlist management, reconfirmation workflows, campaign codes, and special events. The reservation system operates independently from the ordering system and may be enabled or disabled per Store.
4.3 Kitchen Display System (KDS)
The KDS module provides real-time order display for kitchen staff, enabling order tracking from receipt through preparation to completion. The KDS is designed to operate on standard web browsers and does not require specialised hardware.
4.4 Delivery Management
Merchants can configure delivery zones, delivery time slots, minimum order amounts, and delivery fees. The Platform supports both Merchant-managed delivery and integration with third-party delivery services. Delivery logistics, including driver management and route optimisation, remain the responsibility of the Merchant unless a third-party integration is utilised.
4.5 Analytics and Reporting
The Platform provides analytics dashboards and reporting tools that aggregate order data, revenue metrics, customer behaviour, and operational performance. Reports may be exported in standard formats. Ordeliya does not guarantee the accuracy of analytics derived from third-party data sources or incomplete order records.
4.6 AI-Powered Features
Ordeliya integrates artificial intelligence capabilities to assist Merchants with tasks such as generating product descriptions, drafting marketing copy, analysing business trends, and providing conversational support. AI features are subject to the additional terms in Section 10.
4.7 Email Marketing
The Platform includes tools for creating and sending email campaigns, managing subscriber segments, tracking deliverability metrics (opens, clicks, bounces), and configuring sender identity with DMARC, SPF, and DKIM authentication. Merchants are solely responsible for obtaining proper consent from recipients and complying with applicable anti-spam legislation, including the EU ePrivacy Directive, the Danish Marketing Practices Act, and CAN-SPAM where applicable.
4.8 POS Integration
The Platform supports integration with point-of-sale devices and systems for in-store order processing. POS device management, including registration, configuration, and decommissioning, is available through the administration dashboard. Ordeliya does not manufacture or sell POS hardware and is not responsible for hardware compatibility or performance.
4.9 Customer-Facing Storefront
Each Merchant receives a customisable customer-facing storefront accessible via a subdomain of ordeliya.com or a custom domain. The storefront supports multiple languages and currencies, theming with custom CSS, and responsive design for desktop and mobile devices. The storefront is the primary interface through which End Customers interact with a Merchant's offerings.
5.Subscription Plans and Billing
5.1 Plan Tiers
Ordeliya offers multiple subscription plan tiers, each providing a defined set of features, usage limits, and service levels. The current plans, their features, and pricing are published on the Ordeliya pricing page and may be updated from time to time. Custom enterprise plans may be negotiated separately in writing.
5.2 Free Trial
New Merchants may be eligible for a free trial period, the duration and terms of which are specified at the time of registration. During the free trial, you will have access to selected features of the Platform. At the end of the trial period, your account will be transitioned to a paid plan of your choosing, or, if no plan is selected, access to paid features will be suspended. No payment information is required to begin a free trial, but it may be requested before the trial expires to ensure uninterrupted service.
Ordeliya reserves the right to modify, limit, or discontinue the free trial offering at any time without prior notice. Free trials are limited to one per Merchant (identified by business entity, email domain, or payment method) and any attempt to create multiple trial accounts constitutes a violation of these Terms.
5.3 Billing Cycles
Subscriptions are billed either monthly or annually, as selected by the Merchant at the time of subscription. Monthly billing cycles begin on the date of initial subscription and recur on the same day of each subsequent month. Annual billing cycles are invoiced once per year on the subscription anniversary date. If the initial subscription date does not exist in a subsequent month (for example, the 31st), billing will occur on the last day of that month.
5.4 Payment Methods and Currency
Subscription fees are denominated in Danish Kroner (DKK) unless otherwise specified for your region. Payment may be made by credit card, debit card, or other payment methods accepted by our billing provider. You authorise Ordeliya to charge your designated payment method for all applicable fees on each billing date. All monetary amounts displayed and processed by the Platform use minor units (for example, 9900 represents 99.00 DKK).
5.5 Taxes
All prices quoted by Ordeliya are exclusive of value-added tax (VAT) and any other applicable taxes unless explicitly stated otherwise. You are responsible for paying all taxes levied on your subscription by the relevant tax authorities. For Merchants located within the European Union, Ordeliya will charge VAT at the rate applicable in Denmark (currently 25%) or, where applicable, apply the reverse charge mechanism in accordance with EU VAT Directive 2006/112/EC.
5.6 Price Changes
Ordeliya may adjust subscription pricing from time to time. Any price increase will be communicated to you at least thirty (30) calendar days before the next billing cycle. If you do not agree to the new pricing, you may cancel your subscription before the new pricing takes effect. Continued use of the Platform after the price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing. Price decreases may take effect immediately.
5.7 Plan Changes
You may upgrade or downgrade your subscription plan at any time through the administration dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately, and you will be charged a pro-rated amount for the remainder of the current billing cycle. Downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. If a downgrade causes your usage to exceed the limits of the new plan, you will be notified and given a grace period to bring your usage into compliance before features are restricted.
5.8 Failed Payments and Overdue Accounts
If a payment fails, Ordeliya will attempt to process the payment up to three (3) additional times over a period of ten (10) days. You will be notified of each failed attempt by email. If payment cannot be collected after all retry attempts, your account may enter a grace period of seven (7) days, during which full access is maintained. After the grace period, your account may be suspended until payment is successfully processed. Ordeliya reserves the right to charge reasonable late fees for overdue amounts.
6.Payment Processing
6.1 Third-Party Payment Processors
The Platform integrates with multiple third-party payment processors to facilitate payment acceptance from End Customers. Currently supported processors include Stripe, Adyen, Nets, Reepay, VivaWallet, MyPOS, and PayPal, as well as cash-on-delivery. The availability of specific processors may vary by region. You acknowledge that your use of any payment processor is subject to the terms and conditions of that processor in addition to these Terms.
6.2 Merchant Payment Accounts
To accept payments from End Customers through the Platform, you must establish and maintain an active account with at least one supported payment processor. You are responsible for providing accurate payment processor credentials (API keys, webhook secrets, and related configuration) through the administration dashboard. Ordeliya does not store full credit card numbers and does not act as a payment processor or money transmitter.
6.3 PCI Compliance
The Platform is designed to minimise the Merchant's Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance burden by utilising hosted payment forms, tokenisation, and server-side encryption provided by the integrated payment processors. However, you remain responsible for maintaining your own PCI compliance to the extent required by your payment processor agreement and applicable regulations. You must not store, log, or transmit cardholder data outside of the approved payment processor channels.
6.4 Refunds and Chargebacks
Refund processing is initiated through the Platform's administration dashboard and executed via the applicable payment processor. You are solely responsible for your refund policies and for processing refunds in a timely manner in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws. You are also responsible for all chargeback fees, dispute resolution costs, and any financial penalties imposed by payment processors as a result of chargebacks or disputes arising from transactions processed through your Stores.
6.5 Transaction Fees
Transaction fees charged by third-party payment processors are separate from and in addition to Ordeliya subscription fees. These fees are set by the respective payment processor and are the sole responsibility of the Merchant. Ordeliya does not mark up or profit from payment processing fees charged by third-party processors.
6.6 Settlement and Payouts
Payment settlement timelines and payout schedules are determined by the respective payment processor and are outside of Ordeliya's control. Ordeliya provides revenue reporting and analytics within the Platform but does not guarantee the accuracy of these reports relative to payment processor records. In the event of a discrepancy, the payment processor's records shall be considered authoritative for settlement purposes.
7.Merchant Responsibilities
7.1 Accurate Information
You are responsible for ensuring that all information published through the Platform is accurate, complete, and not misleading. This includes, without limitation, menu items, product descriptions, ingredient lists, allergen declarations, pricing, availability, operating hours, delivery zones, and business contact information. Inaccurate information may result in harm to End Customers and may expose you to legal liability for which Ordeliya bears no responsibility.
7.2 Food Safety and Regulatory Compliance
You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable food safety laws, regulations, and standards in the jurisdictions in which you operate. This includes, but is not limited to, food hygiene regulations, allergen labelling requirements (including EU Regulation No. 1169/2011), temperature control standards, and local health authority inspections. In Denmark, you must comply with the Foedevarestyrelsen (Danish Veterinary and Food Administration) requirements, including the "egenkontrol" (self-monitoring) programme.
Ordeliya provides tools to assist with food safety documentation (such as the egenkontrol module), but these tools are aids only and do not constitute legal advice or guarantee regulatory compliance. The ultimate responsibility for food safety rests with you.
7.3 Tax Obligations
You are solely responsible for determining and fulfilling your tax obligations, including the collection and remittance of value-added tax (VAT or moms), goods and services tax (GST), sales tax, or any other applicable taxes on transactions processed through the Platform. The Platform allows you to configure tax rates per Store, but the correctness of these configurations is your responsibility. Ordeliya does not provide tax advice and recommends that you consult with a qualified tax professional.
7.4 Customer Service
You are responsible for providing customer service to your End Customers in relation to orders, reservations, product quality, delivery issues, and any other matters arising from your use of the Platform. Ordeliya does not interact with End Customers on behalf of Merchants except as necessary for Platform operation (for example, automated order confirmation emails). Complaints from End Customers regarding food quality, delivery delays, incorrect orders, or similar matters are your sole responsibility.
7.5 Legal Compliance
You must comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards in your jurisdiction(s) of operation. This includes, without limitation, consumer protection laws, distance selling regulations (including the EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU), anti-money laundering regulations, employment law, and accessibility standards. You represent and warrant that you hold all licences, permits, and registrations required to operate your food service business.
7.6 Staff Training and Access Control
You are responsible for training your staff on the proper use of the Platform and for managing staff access permissions through the role-based access control system. You should assign the minimum level of access necessary for each staff member's role (Owner, Admin, Manager, or Staff) and promptly revoke access for any staff member who is no longer authorised to use the Platform.

In the event that data must be transferred outside the EEA (for example, through sub-processors), Ordeliya will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Chapter V of the GDPR, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions. A list of sub-processors and their locations is available upon request and is included in the DPA.

The Platform includes features powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning models (collectively, "AI Features"). AI Features may include, but are not limited to, automated product description generation, marketing copy suggestions, business insight analysis, conversational assistance, and menu optimisation recommendations. AI-generated content is produced by statistical language models and should be treated as a starting point or draft, not as final, verified, or authoritative content.

AI-generated content may contain errors in nutritional information, allergen declarations, pricing suggestions, or other business-critical data.
10.3 Merchant Review Responsibility
You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, editing, and approving all AI-generated content before it is published or made available to End Customers. You must not publish AI-generated content without first confirming its accuracy, particularly with respect to:

Third-party services may be modified, discontinued, or experience downtime without notice from Ordeliya. We are not liable for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by the unavailability, malfunction, or changes to any third-party service.
The availability of a third-party integration within the Platform does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of that service. You should conduct your own due diligence before enabling any integration, particularly those involving payment processing or the handling of personal data.
11.4 Data Sharing with Third Parties
When you enable a third-party integration, certain data may be shared with the third-party provider as necessary for the integration to function. For example, enabling a payment processor requires sharing transaction details with that processor. You consent to such data sharing by enabling the integration. Ordeliya will only share the minimum data necessary for the integration to operate and will not share data with third parties for purposes unrelated to the integration.
11.5 Custom Domains and DNS
The Platform allows Merchants to configure custom domains for their storefronts. DNS configuration, domain registration, and domain renewal are the Merchant's responsibility.

The limitations and exclusions in this section do not apply to: (a) liability arising from Ordeliya's gross negligence or wilful misconduct; (b) liability for death or personal injury caused by Ordeliya's negligence; (c) liability that cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory applicable law (including but not limited to mandatory consumer protection provisions under Danish law or EU law); or (d) liability arising from a breach of Ordeliya's data protection obligations under the GDPR to the extent such liability cannot be contractually limited.
14.4 Allocation of Risk
The limitations of liability set forth in this section reflect a reasonable allocation of risk between the parties and form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties. Ordeliya would not be able to provide the Platform at the current subscription pricing without these limitations. You acknowledge that these limitations are fair and reasonable in light of the nature of the Platform and the subscription fees charged.
14.5 Merchant Liability to End Customers
You acknowledge that you bear sole responsibility and liability to End Customers for all matters related to your food service operations, including food quality, food safety, order accuracy, delivery performance, customer service, and compliance with consumer protection laws. Ordeliya has no direct contractual relationship with your End Customers and shall not be liable to them for any claims arising from your operations.
15.Indemnification
15.1 Merchant Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ordeliya, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with:
- Your use of the Platform or any activity that occurs under your account.
- Your Content, including any claim that your Content infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party.
- Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, or industry standard, including food safety regulations, tax laws, and data protection laws.
- Any dispute between you and an End Customer regarding food quality, order fulfilment, delivery, refunds, allergen declarations, or any other matter related to your food service operations.
- Your breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under these Terms.
- Any claim related to your email marketing activities, including claims of unsolicited communications or violations of anti-spam legislation.
15.2 Procedure
Ordeliya will promptly notify you of any claim subject to indemnification and will provide you with reasonable assistance in the defence of such claim at your expense. You shall not settle any claim in a manner that imposes obligations on Ordeliya or admits fault on behalf of Ordeliya without Ordeliya's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
15.3 Ordeliya Indemnification
Ordeliya agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Merchant from and against any third-party claims that the Platform, as provided by Ordeliya and used in accordance with these Terms, infringes or misappropriates any third-party intellectual property right. This indemnification obligation does not apply to claims arising from: (a) modifications to the Platform made by or at the direction of the Merchant; (b) combination of the Platform with third-party software, hardware, or data not provided by Ordeliya; (c) use of the Platform in a manner not authorised by these Terms; or (d) Merchant Content.
16.Suspension and Termination
16.1 Grounds for Suspension

16.2 Termination by Merchant
You may terminate your subscription at any time through the administration dashboard or by contacting Ordeliya in writing at support@ordeliya.com. Termination will take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. You will not receive a refund for any unused portion of the current billing period, except as required by applicable law. Upon termination, your access to paid features will cease, but you will retain access to export your data during the data export period described in Section 16.4.
16.3 Termination by Ordeliya
Ordeliya may terminate your account and these Terms:
- Upon thirty (30) calendar days' written notice, for any reason or no reason, at Ordeliya's sole discretion.

- Immediately, if Ordeliya is required to do so by law, regulation, or court order.
- Immediately, if you become the subject of insolvency proceedings, bankruptcy, or a similar event.

Upon termination: (a) all licences granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease; (b) you must cease all use of the Platform; (c) any outstanding payment obligations will become immediately due and payable; (d) the following sections will survive termination: Definitions, Content and Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Dispute Resolution, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination.
17.Dispute Resolution
17.1 Governing Law
These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Denmark, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply to these Terms.
17.2 Jurisdiction
The courts of Copenhagen, Denmark, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these Terms, subject to the exceptions stated below. Both parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the Copenhagen City Court (Koebenhavns Byret) as the court of first instance.
17.3 Good Faith Negotiation
Before initiating formal legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute through good faith negotiation. Either party may initiate the negotiation process by sending a written notice describing the dispute to the other party. The parties shall have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of such notice to resolve the dispute through direct negotiation. If the dispute is not resolved within this period, either party may proceed with formal legal action.
17.4 EU Online Dispute Resolution
In accordance with Regulation (EU) No 524/2013, Ordeliya informs End Customers that the European Commission provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform for consumer disputes, accessible at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. This ODR platform may be used by End Customers who wish to submit a complaint regarding services purchased online. Note that the ODR platform is intended for consumer disputes and may not be applicable to business-to-business disputes between Ordeliya and Merchants.
17.5 Consumer Rights Reservation
Nothing in this section shall limit the rights of consumers under mandatory consumer protection legislation in their country of residence. Where you qualify as a consumer under applicable law, you may be entitled to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence, and mandatory consumer protection rules of that country may apply regardless of the choice of governing law in Section 17.1.
18.Modifications to Terms
18.1 Right to Modify
Ordeliya reserves the right to modify, amend, or update these Terms at any time. When modifications are made, Ordeliya will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this document and, for material changes, will provide notice as described below.
18.2 Notice of Material Changes
For material changes to these Terms (including changes to pricing, liability limitations, data handling practices, or core service descriptions), Ordeliya will provide at least thirty (30) calendar days' advance notice before the changes take effect. Notice will be provided through one or more of the following methods:
- A prominent banner or notification within the administration dashboard.
- An email to the address associated with your account.

18.3 Acceptance of Modified Terms
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of modified Terms constitutes your acceptance of the modifications. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must stop using the Platform and may terminate your subscription in accordance with Section 16.2. Termination under this section will not result in any early termination fees, and you will receive a pro-rated refund for any prepaid and unused subscription period if the termination is solely due to a material adverse change in these Terms.
18.4 Non-Material Changes
Non-material changes (such as corrections of typographical errors, clarifications that do not alter the substance of existing provisions, or updates to reflect new features already described elsewhere) may be made without advance notice. Such changes take effect upon posting to the Ordeliya website.

Ordeliya maintains an archive of previous versions of these Terms, which is available upon request by contacting legal@ordeliya.com. The archive allows you to compare current and previous versions to identify changes.
19.Severability and Waiver
19.1 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of that provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the original intent of the parties as closely as possible. If such modification is not possible, the invalid provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms.
19.2 Waiver
The failure of Ordeliya to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms must be in writing and signed by an authorised representative of Ordeliya to be effective. A waiver of any right or provision on one occasion shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision on any subsequent occasion.
19.3 Cumulative Remedies
The rights and remedies provided in these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity. The exercise of one remedy does not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. No single remedy shall be deemed exclusive of any other remedy available under these Terms or applicable law.
19.4 No Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms are for the sole benefit of the parties and do not create any third-party beneficiary rights. End Customers, staff members, and other third parties do not acquire any rights under these Terms, except to the extent expressly stated herein or required by mandatory applicable law.

20.2 Order of Precedence
In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any other agreement between you and Ordeliya: (a) a separately negotiated and executed written agreement shall take precedence over these Terms; (b) these Terms shall take precedence over the Privacy Policy, DPA, AUP, and Cookie Policy unless the supplemental document expressly states otherwise with respect to a specific provision; and (c) any order form, statement of work, or similar document agreed in writing shall take precedence over these Terms only to the extent of any explicit conflict.

In the event of an assignment by Ordeliya, Ordeliya will provide notice to you within a reasonable time.
