Guidelines for Customers

As a DeliverMe customer, you play an important role in ensuring that we cultivate and preserve a community built on a foundation of Respect, Safety, Trust & Integrity for everyone using or working on the DeliverMe platform.

Safety: Safety is our first priority. Every individual should feel comfortable, safe, and secure using the Instacart platform. We do not permit any activity that could create unsafe conditions or cause harm to others.

Respect: From the grocery store aisles to customers’ doors and everywhere in between, we aim to develop and maintain an inclusive, and respectful environment for everyone, at all times. As part of our continued effort to promote respect on the platform, we reserve the right to investigate and take action on any instances including, but not limited to, the following:

• Discrimination of any kind on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, gender or gender identity, age, marital status, sexual orientation, mental/physical condition or disability, age, profession, national origin or any other basis protected under applicable law.
• Vulgar, inappropriate, intrusive, harassing, abusive or unwanted language of any kind towards others, whether verbal or written. This includes, but is not limited to, asking overly personal questions of customers, contractors, retailers, or employees. Please note: Contact information between retailers and customers is confidential along with your shared personal information. The DeliverMe website should not be used as a communication tool for issues other than order related issues, or the manner of delivery.
• Unwanted physical contact or sexual conduct of any kind involving contractors, retail employees, or DeliverMe employees while receiving services will not be tolerated.
• Intentional property damage or vandalism of any kind by any concerned party will not be tolerated and instances of such will be investigated and reported to the local authorities.
• Creating disturbances for the surrounding public (e.g. neighbours, co-workers, store employees, security guards, etc).

Safety: Safety is our first and primary priority. It is Integral to us that every individual should feel comfortable, safe, and secure using the DeliverMe platform. We do not permit any activity that could be interpreted as unsafe or harmful to others.

To ensure the highest levels of safety on the platform, we reserve the right to investigate and take action on any instances including, but not limited to, the following:

• Failure to verify your identity while receiving services on the platform.
• Demanding shoppers enter a residence. DeliverMe delivery drivers are expected to deliver groceries to the customer at their desired address, but are never expected or required to enter the residence of a customer and thus reserve the right to decline the request.

Integrity: Trust is key to our operations for success as a delivery service. We demand all customers, shoppers & delivery drivers of the DeliverMe ecosystem to be honest and to represent and conduct themselves in a way that instills trust across the platform.
