The Karma Community is a set of related Internet sites and other applications for interacting with other users of Karma and people who are passionate about discussing food waste (also referred to herein as the “Karmunity”), owned and operated by Karmalicious AB (“Karma”, “we” or “us”), a Swedish corporation. Karma welcomes you to the Karmunity and invites you to participate in the community by sharing knowledge with your peers and colleagues. Like all communities, we ask that you participate in a manner that respects your fellow community members and in accordance with our community Guidelines. To that end, we provide you with these terms of service to advise you of the legal obligations you assume when you engage with the Karma community or otherwise access or use the Karmunity or any services provided on the Karmunity (collectively, “Services”). These terms govern the use of the Karmunity (the “Karmunity Terms”). To the extent you are accessing or using our other products on behalf of a Company or Team, including without limitation by registering for an account on behalf of a Company or Team, your use of those products is governed by their relevant Terms and Conditions.
Please read these Karmunity Terms carefully before accessing or using the Karmunity. These Karmunity Terms constitute an agreement between Karma and you and governs your permitted use of the Karmunity ONLY, including any Services or Products that are part of the Karmunity. By accessing or using the Services or the Karmunity in any manner, including without limitation by visiting or browsing the Karmunity or registering for an account on the Karmunity, you affirm that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Karmunity Terms, as well as the Guidelines and Privacy Policy. Karma may change or update these Karmunity Terms from time to time, and any such change or update will be set in effect when posting the updated Karmunity Terms on the Karmunity. When we make major changes to the Karmunity Terms, we will provide you with prior notice as appropriate under the circumstances, e.g., by displaying a notice within the Karmunity or by sending you an email. If you do not agree to the changed Karmunity Terms, you have the right to terminate your Account before the changed Karmunity Terms come into force. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Your access to or use of the Services or the Karmunity following such modification constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Karmunity Terms as modified. To reiterate, and for clarity, these Karmunity Terms apply to all who access or use the Services or Karmunity, including without limitation users who contribute content, information, and other materials or services, registered or otherwise.
As stated above, these Karmunity Terms constitute an agreement between Karma and you and governs your use of the Karmunity. These Karmunity Terms do NOT govern the use of Karma products and services that are not part of the Karmunity. In the event of any conflict between these Karmunity Terms and the terms and conditions for any of the other Karma products and services, the terms and conditions governing the applicable products and/or services shall prevail.
You must be at least 16 years old to access or use the Karmunity or Services, including without limitation to complete a Karma account registration. By accessing or using the Services or the Karmunity in any manner, you represent and warrant that you are at least 16 years of age. If you are under 16 years old, you may not, under any circumstances or for any reason, access or use the Services or Karmunity in any manner, and may not provide any personal information to or on the Services or Karmunity (including, for example, a name, address, telephone number or email address).
Any user of the Karmunity is welcome to participate in community discussions, to answer questions, and to share their hard earned knowledge with the Karmunity community participants, provided that they comply with the obligations set forth in these Karmunity Terms, and to the extent that the use of the Karmunity does not conflict with the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the user’s jurisdiction. Karma reserves the right to refuse, suspend or terminate your access to the Karmunity if it determines, in its sole discretion, that you have in any way violated these Karmunity Terms or are otherwise ineligible to access or use the Karmunity or Services. If your actions are determined by us to violate these Karmunity Terms, Karma may, in its sole discretion, try to remediate that violation by working with you individually, but is under no obligation to do so, and if any such remediation efforts are unsuccessful (in Karma’s sole discretion), then Karma may revoke your rights to the Karmunity. You are solely responsible for ensuring that these Karmunity Terms are in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to you, and the right to access the Karmunity or any Services is revoked where these Karmunity Terms or use of the Karmunity or any Services is prohibited or conflicts with any applicable law, rule or regulation. Karma will use reasonable efforts to make the Karmunity available 24/7/365, but from time-to-time there will be scheduled outages for maintenance purposes and other upkeep. Where feasible, Karma may, in Karma’s sole discretion, make efforts to inform you about any outages and report on the nature and reason for any outages that may occur in an open and transparent manner, though Karma is under no obligation to do so, and in any case will not be liable for any downtime.
To access some of the Karmunity features you will need to register for an account as an individual and consent to these Karmunity Terms. If you do not consent to these Karmunity Terms, Karma reserves the right to refuse, suspend or terminate your access to the Karmunity. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your account registration is complete and remains up to date. You have the right to discontinue use of, or terminate, your account whenever you like, and subject to our Privacy Policy, control the use and sharing of your account information. Karma strongly encourages you to review our Privacy Policy, which explains how we will handle, process, and use your personal data, and with whom, and how we will share this data. The Karmunity is a community and we expect you to treat each member of the Karmunity with respect. We are a global community and we are open to any who want to partake in our Karmunity, therefore we require your interactions to be respectful and kind at all times. To set clear expectations, we have outlined what we believe to be common sense rules for community participation and reserve the right to pause or terminate your account if you engage in disruptive, abusive, or nefarious behavior outside of Karma’s Guidelines, which is hereby incorporated into these Karmunity Terms. You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining any equipment or ancillary services needed to connect to or access the Karmunity or otherwise use the Services, including without limitation modems, hardware, software, and long distance or local telephone service. You are solely responsible for ensuring that such equipment or ancillary services are compatible with the Services and Karmunity. Some premium or additional features of Karma may require a payment obligation for access and use. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your payment obligations, if any, remain current and not in arrears. In the event Karma charges for features you will be clearly notified of the terms of any payment obligations and provided the opportunity to refuse such obligations before you incur any charges. Please note, however, that your refusal to accept payment obligations may result in your inability to access or use certain premium or additional features of Karma.

The Karma service is a sales channel via which merchants offer take away food items to registered users. In these terms of Karma service, the term “merchants” refers to restaurants, but it may also refer to other food providers operating e.g. in the grocery, café or bakery sector. Merchants who enter into an Agreement (The Merchant Terms and Conditions) with Karma are allowed to use the Merchant Application and the Website. The aim of this intermediation service is to give Merchants the opportunity to sell surplus food that may soon become outdated as take-away to registered users. The Karma service allows Merchants to gain extra income while decreasing food waste.
The purpose of this Agreement is to explain the terms and conditions under which Karma will let you use the Application through your mobile device and/or use the Website (collectively, the “Purpose“).
As also mentioned in other parts of this Agreement, Karma does not have any control over any merchants or other third parties, and therefore is not liable or responsible for any actions taken or supposed to be taken by any such third party.
To use the ordering service and the features made available through the Application and Website, you are required to complete a registration process to create an account with Karma (“Account”).
When you create your account you are given access to use Karma’s software platform made available through Karma’s mobile application (“Application”) and/or Karma’s website located at www.karma.life (the ” Website”), Karma’s loyalty program (the “Karma Loyalty Program”), during the Term (as defined below) solely for the Purpose.
Creating your Account offers you easy access to see food available near you, your current order, your previous orders, and edit your personal preferences. In order to create your Account, it is necessary to provide personal information, which includes but is not limited to, your name, contact information and payment information.
How Karma may store and make use of the personal information provided by you when registering for an Account and/or using the Application and the Website is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Karma works with local merchants to offer you the opportunity to purchase and pick up food that would otherwise go to waste. In the discovery view in the Application, merchants are displayed on a map. In the list below, merchants are listed in order of distance to where you are located when the Application is open (the Merchants closest to you is shown first in the list). You can also filter on preferred options such as type of food (e.g. meal, bread or drinks) and allergens (e.g. gluten- or lactose free). When entering into a merchant view, items for sale are listed based on (i) if the item has a picture and (ii) the sales value of the item. Merchants can be provided with additional information on the methods used to reference the items on the Application and Merchant Application. The supply of food items is depending on each merchant’s daily business, and as such it is not guaranteed that food is available at all times you use the Application or the Website.
Through the Application you are presented with a description of the food item so that you as a customer will get as good information about ingredients, allergens, price discount etc. You can filter on preferred options such as type of food (e.g. meal, bread or drinks) and allergens (e.g. gluten- or lactose free). When you filter on one or more of these options only items within this/these categories will be visible to you. The Karma service is not the provider or the producer of the food items listed in the service nor is Karma responsible for the information given about each food item. The provider of the food items is responsible for all the information regarding the food item. Would you have any questions regarding given information about a food item, Karma directs you to the merchant.
As a logged in Karma user, you can place an order for a food item through the Application or Website. After placing the order you will get an order confirmation via the user interface of the Application or Website.
You pay for ordered food items through the Application or Website. If an order hasn’t been paid for through the Application or Website, it will not be considered a completed order. Furthermore, as all food items are sold on a first come first serve basis, Karma can not guarantee that you will get the food item you have started, but not finished, ordering. Karma may use a payment service provided by a third-party to handle the payment and will automatically charge your chosen account at the time of your order. You have no right to cancel or change a placed order when using the Application or the Website. The restriction of the right to cancel a made order is based on the nature of food which may spoil or age rapidly.
Upon arrival, you show the merchant the order confirmation in the Application to receive your order. The merchant has also the ability to confirm your order in the merchant application by identifying you by name. When using the Application or Website you shall always pick up the food item(s) ordered from the applicable merchant’s premises in a timely manner during the time frame provided by the merchant. If you do not collect your order during the given time frame, the merchant has the right to do as they see fit with the ordered food item. Unless stated otherwise by the merchant, you are not entitled to receive a refund for ordered food items that have not been collected on time.
In certain cases, delivery can be offered for your order. If delivery is included in an order, the order will be delivered to the address specified by you in the Application or on the Website while completing the order, or supplemented by email to Karma after the order has been completed. All deliveries are handled either by Karma or by Karma’s hired delivery firms. Delivery and delivery time may vary depending on what you order and from where. Please refer to specific delivery information given in the Application or on the Website. You undertake to be available at the delivery address and reachable at the phone number specified by you while completing the order from the time of the order until delivery has been made. If you’re not available at the delivery address within five (5) minutes from delivery your order will be left outside your door, given that no gate or other door is prohibiting this. In case your order can't be left outside your door and you don’t reply to Karma after two (2) attempts to contact you, Karma or Karma’s hired delivery firm has the right to cancel your order without any refund.
With the Karma Loyalty Program you are able to receive personal offers and rewards (collectively “Loyalty Rewards”) based on your previous order history. Detailed information about the various Loyalty Rewards and how to get them are presented in the Application. Loyalty Rewards and specific requirements for eligibility can vary both by User, city, and country. As a result, you may receive a different Loyalty Reward than another User. The requirements for eligibility and contents of specific Loyalty Rewards are subject to change at Karma’s sole discretion. The Loyalty Rewards may also be subject to limited supply and can be changed at any time without notice. The Loyalty Rewards that you are offered through the Application are not transferable and may expire. Loyalty Rewards in the form of Karma credits have no cash value. Loyalty Rewards can only be used by you during the time that they are available to you in the Application. If you have not redeemed a Loyalty Reward during its availability you will not be able to use this Loyalty Reward at a later stage. Karma reserves the right to change, end, or pause, in whole or in part, any Loyalty Program, as well as any User’s ability to participate in any Loyalty Program or receive Loyalty Rewards at any time for any reason, including suspected fraud or any violation of this Agreement. If Karma ends any Loyalty Program, any unused or unredeemed Loyalty Rewards may be forfeited at that time.
Karma does not currently charge its users to access and use the Application or the Website, however Karma may, at any point and in its discretion, elect to begin charging fees for use of various portions of the Application, the Website and/or for different levels of subscription or accounts.
The Karma service is a sales channel via which merchants’ food items are traded. The Karma service is not the provider or the producer of the food items listed in the service. Karma is not responsible for the quality of the food items ordered through the service or errors that may occur during the pickup of an order. The merchant is responsible for all the user reclamations concerning the food item and Karma directs the reclamations to the merchant. The cooperating merchants are committed to preparing the food items offered through the service in compliance with the legislation concerning the handling, storing and transportation of food and in accordance with the established principles and practices of the industry. If you detect a technical error or other error in the Karma service, you can report the problem through the Application or Website.
