This Franchisee ezCater Agreement (this “Agreement”) governs your access to the Covered Services (defined below) provided by ezCater, Inc. (“ezCater”, “we”, “our” or “us”).  By clicking “I agree” and sending your info to us, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.   

1.  Nature of Agreement; Covered Services.

You own and operate one or more franchised The Halal Guys Restaurants (“Franchised Restaurants” and, together with all other The Halal Guys Restaurants, sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Locations”).  We offer various services that help restaurant and catering locations grow and manage their catering and associated business.  These services include the ezCater Marketplace (the “Marketplace”), ezOrdering, Direct Entry, and ezDispatch, each of which is described more fully on the exhibits to this Agreement.  You want to use, and we want to provide you in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the services indicated on Exhibit A (the “Covered Services”) at the US based restaurant and catering locations you and we agree upon.  You agree we may contract with third parties to assist with, or to perform, certain Covered Services, provided we are responsible for their compliance with the relevant obligations of this Agreement. 

Specifically, you seek to engage ezCater to perform the Covered Services described herein for your Franchised Restaurants.  Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement between us and The Halal Guys Franchise, Inc., which is the franchisor of The Halal Guys system (the “Franchisor”), while you are operating your Franchised Restaurants you may participate in the Covered Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as long as you are an “Eligible Franchisee,” meaning that you: (1) are in compliance with your franchise agreement with the Franchisor (as determined by the Franchisor in its sole discretion); and (2) this Agreement remains in effect.  For the avoidance of doubt, you are an independently owned and operated business, and responsible for your own payment obligations.  As such, you acknowledge that neither Franchisor nor any of Franchisor’s affiliates, owners, officers, directors, managers, etc. shall have any liability whatsoever for any claims, liabilities, damages, etc. arising from your use of the Covered Services made available under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that we may provide Franchisor real-time access through our internet portal, ezManage, to view which The Halal Guys franchisees and which Franchised Restaurants are live on the ezCater portal at any time. 

2.  Compensation.

In consideration for the services we provide to you, you agree to pay us the fees set forth on Exhibit A (the “Fees”). 

3. Proprietary Rights.

(a) ezManage Software and Other Technology.   During the Term, we grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable (subject to Section 9(g) below), non-sublicensable, license to access and use the ezManage software and other technology included with the Covered Services (collectively, the “Technology”) solely for your internal use to grow and manage your catering business.  You will not: (i) copy, modify, or create derivative works of the Technology; (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble or attempt to reconstruct, identify or discover any source code, underlying ideas, user interface techniques, or algorithms of the Technology; or (iii) attempt to circumvent any use restrictions built into the Technology.  Except for the limited license granted here, we retain all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to the Technology and all related modifications, improvements and derivative works thereof.

This includes that we may use Your Content to promote you on the Marketplace and your ezOrdering pages, if applicable, and to otherwise market you to drive customers to your Marketplace and/or ezOrdering pages.  Except for the limited license granted here, you retain (or Franchisor retains, where applicable) all right, title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to Your Content.

4.  Termination and Survival. 

This Agreement begins on the date you click “I agree” and sending your info to us and continues until terminated by either you or us (the “Term”).  Either you or we may terminate this Agreement:

(a)  upon 30 days written notice, for any or no reason;

(b)   upon 10 days written notice, if the other party breaches this Agreement and fails to cure the breach within the notice period;

(c)   immediately, if the other party: (i) becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or has a UCC lien filed against all or a portion of its assets, or (ii) commits or otherwise becomes associated with, for any reason, any act that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the reputation or public image of the terminating party.  Alternatively, either of us may immediately suspend services rather than terminate this Agreement in the event of clause (i) or (ii).

In addition, if you cease to possess rights as an Eligible Franchisee with respect to one or more of your Franchised Restaurants, this Agreement will automatically terminate with respect to those Franchised Restaurants when we notify you in writing that we have learned that such rights have been lost.

Sections 4 – 9 will survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, your obligation to pay outstanding Fees or other amounts due to us as of the termination of this Agreement, and our obligation to remit payments to you for orders fulfilled prior to termination, survive the termination of this Agreement. 

5.  Confidentiality.

$30 when Commission Basis is under $300; 10% of Commission Basis when Commission Basis is equal to or greater than $300.

 

“Commission Basis” means the total amount a customer pays for an order they place with you through the service, but excluding any voluntary tip and taxes, or any fee added by ezCater to the order amount the customer pays, provided such fee is not requested or approved by you or otherwise required by law (it being understood and agreed that any delivery fee we charge to a customer is approved by you). We represent that we currently calculate the Commission Basis for all ezCater customers to include the delivery fee; however, in the event that we ever agree to exclude the delivery fee from the Commission Basis for the majority of our ezCater customers in the future, we agree to advise you of same and to similarly exclude this fee from our calculation of the Commission Basis for you. 

 

“Credit Card Basis” means the total amount a customer pays for an order they place with you through the service, excluding any voluntary tip.

 

A customer is "ringfenced" to you, Franchisor, and/or other Eligible Franchisees if they first created an ezCater account from an ezOrdering link attributed to you, Franchisor and/or other Eligible Franchisees (even if they did not place an order at that time).  If you own locations of more than one brand, the customer is ringfenced only to your locations that are of the brand they linked from when they created the ezCater account.  Therefore, the reduced ringfence commission will apply only on Marketplace orders the customer places with that brand.
