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.

Karma reserves the right to assign our rights and obligations under these Karmunity Terms (in whole or in part) without your consent to a corporate affiliate, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate restructure or reorganization, or due to the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. All disputes arising hereunder or in connection with these Karmunity Terms and/or the Karmunity shall be resolved by the laws of Sweden and the District Court of Stockholm (sw. Stockholms tingsrätt), Sweden. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these Karmunity Terms shall not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief with respect to a violation of the confidentiality provisions and indemnification provisions contained in these Karmunity Terms.
Expiry or termination of these terms will not affect accrued rights, indemnities, existing commitments or any contractual provision intended to survive termination.
Karma reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or replace these Karmunity Terms, as our business evolves over time and to better provide Services and Products to the Karma community, or to change, suspend, or discontinue the Karmunity and/or any Services or Products at any time by by displaying a notice within the Karmunity, by sending you an email or by another appropriate means of electronic communication.

Thanks for taking the time to learn about our Terms of Service for Karmunity.
These user terms and conditions (these “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Karmalicious AB (“we” or “us”) that applies to your use of and access to the Karma mobile application (the “App”), the website www.karma.life (the ”Website”) and the food ordering services provided therein (the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully, as you agree to be bound by each of its terms by accessing or using the App, the Website and/or the Services (together hereinafter referred to as “Karma”).
If you don’t want to be bound by these Terms, please do not sign up for or use Karma.
Karma is a sales platform through which you can purchase take away food items from restaurants, cafés and bakeries (to name a few) and order food at restaurants (each food supplier is hereinafter called a “Merchant”). Basically, the Merchant provides the food and we provide a platform where you can purchase the food. You can both save surplus food at a discounted price and purchase regular food items through Karma.
To use Karma, you need to create a user account (“Karma Account”). To create a Karma Account, you must be at least sixteen years old and have the authority to accept these Terms, either on your own behalf or by having a parent or legal guardian agreeing on your behalf.
Your Karma Account gives you easy access to see food offerings available near your location. You can also view your current order, your previous orders, and edit your personal information and preferences.
To create a Karma Account, we need to obtain certain personal information from you, such as your name, contact information and payment information. We are committed to keeping your personal information safe and you can read more about how we do this in our Privacy Policy.
When you enter Karma, you can find all offers and Merchants in the discovery view displayed on a map. All Merchants and their offers are also listed according to their location and the distance to your location, with the Merchant closest to you being first. Your location is only used if you have permitted location sharing in Karma. You can also filter offers and Merchants based on, for example 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 criteria only offers matching the criteria will be displayed. 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.
All orders are placed through the App or the Website. The price of your order will be displayed in the check-out in the App or on the Website, depending on where you placed your order.
Take-out food: Upon successful payment you will receive an order confirmation and your order is completed. Please note, that as all take-away food items are sold on a first come first serve basis, we cannot guarantee that you will get the food offer you have started, but not completed ordering.
Table orders: Food orders can be placed both as a single purchase and on an open tab. When ordering on an open tab, both you and the Merchant may add items to your order. All open tabs shall be fully paid before leaving the restaurant. Upon successful payment you will receive a receipt of your order to your email address. We reserve the right to invoice you for any unpaid orders on open tab. Such invoices will include an invoicing fee and are subject to late payment interest in accordance with applicable law.
Please note that due to the nature of the sold items (food!) and the fact that food may get spoiled or age rapidly, you do not have a right to change or cancel the order once you have received the order confirmation, unless so authorized by the Merchant.
In order to provide secure payments, we use the well-renowned third-party payment service provider Stripe in our check-out. As an independent service provider, Stripe’s terms and conditions apply to the payment.
When ordering food for pick-up you shall always pick up your order from the Merchant’s premises during the time frame set out in Karma. The Merchant decides the time frame for pick-up. Upon arrival, you show the Merchant your order confirmation in Karma or identify yourself by name to receive your order.
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 orders that have not been collected on time.
In certain cases, home 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 Karma when placing the order. All deliveries are handled either by us or by trusted third parties.
Delivery and delivery time may vary depending on what you order and from where. Please refer to specific delivery information provided in Karma when placing the order. 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 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 us after 2 attempts to contact you, we have the right to cancel your order. In such case, you are not entitled to receive a refund for your order.
If you are ordering alcoholic beverages, note that all laws regarding the serving of alcoholic beverages apply to your order. This means, for instance, that the Merchant has the right to refuse serving you alcoholic beverages if you are not in a condition to be served or are underaged.
We like to reward our loyal users, and we do so through the Karma Loyalty Program. With the Loyalty Program you can receive personal offers and rewards for using Karma (collectively “Loyalty Rewards”). The Karma Loyalty Program is connected to your email address that you provided to us when signing up for Karma. Each purchase you make through Karma using your registered email address is registered to your Karma Loyalty Program. You can read more about the various Loyalty Rewards and how to access them on the Website and in the App. Loyalty Rewards and specific requirements can vary by city and country, which means that you may receive a different Loyalty Reward than another user.
The Loyalty Rewards may not be exchanged to cash, are not transferable and may expire. Loyalty Rewards can only be used by you during the time that they are available to you in Karma. If you have not redeemed a Loyalty Reward during its availability you will not be able to use this Loyalty Reward later.
We reserve the right to change, end, or pause, in whole or in part, any Loyalty Program. We may also suspend or terminate your access to any Loyalty Program or Loyalty Rewards if we suspect fraud or any violation of these Terms. If we end any Loyalty Program, any unused or unredeemed Loyalty Rewards are forfeited at that time.
Karma is a sales platform through which Merchants can sell food items to consumers. We are not the provider or the producer of the food items sold through Karma. As such, we are not responsible for the information given about each food item, the quality of the food items ordered through Karma or errors that may occur during the pickup of an order or in connection with a restaurant visit.
The Merchant is responsible for the quality and safety of the food, and for all information provided regarding food items. If you have any questions regarding a food item or wish to make a claim, we ask you to contact the Merchant.
Merchants are obliged to prepare the food items offered through Karma in compliance with all applicable legislation concerning the handling, storing and transportation of food, and in accordance with the established principles and practices of the industry.
If you experience any service interruptions or detect an error in the App or on the Website, you can report the problem through the contact form or chat found in Karma.
