Terms of use

takeit is an independent, early-access project so that small businesses —the bakery, the bar or the greengrocer in a village or a neighbourhood— can have their own website and take orders from phones. Their customers can pick the order up, have it delivered or have it at the shop, depending on what each business offers, and the business keeps its orders organised in one place.

Businesses join by invitation, after a short application on the join page, and the project helps them get started: adding their products, setting their hours and choosing how they deliver and how they get paid.

takeit is still being built: some features may change and others are on the way. There is more about the project on the home page.

takeit provides the software those shops' websites run on.

Each of those websites is run by its owner —a person or a business—, who is responsible for it. Its legal texts (legal notice, terms, privacy and cookies) are on its own website, under /legal on its domain, and they are the ones that govern the purchases, payments and order data made there.

• takeit is in early access: the service may change, be interrupted or be unavailable due to maintenance or technical reasons.
• You must be 14 or older to use takeit. You confirm it when you order —with an account, once, and it stands for later orders; without one, on every order— and without that confirmation the order is refused. We don't ask for your date of birth and don't check it any other way: if you are not that age, you must not use the platform.
• You agree not to use it for unlawful purposes, not to try to access other people's accounts or data, and not to interfere with how it works.
• Each owner is responsible for their shop: its products, its prices, its payments and its legal texts.

You sign in with your email address, to which a one-time link is sent, or with Google. You are responsible for keeping access to that email.

You can delete the account from My account. There are six cases where something has to be settled first: while you have an order under way (the shop still has to prepare, deliver or charge it); while you have an appointment booked (the shop is expecting you: once it has happened or been cancelled); if you deliver, while you have a shipment under way (you accepted it or you are carrying the bag: deliver it, report it as not delivered or release it); while a shop or a delivery company is in your name —deleting the account would leave a business nobody can get into—; and if you are a platform administrator. Once that is settled, deletion cannot be refused.

How your data is processed is explained in the privacy policy, and cookies in the cookie policy.

These terms may be updated. The date of the latest version is shown above.
