TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Last Updated: November 2025

1. Our Mission

We dream of a planet with no food waste. SavioBag's mission is to raise awareness of food waste and to reduce food waste in Qatar and Lebanon. Our mobile application helps businesses and consumers fight food waste together by saving meals that would otherwise have gone to the bin (referred to as the "SavioBag App" or simply the "App"). With your use of the App you're contributing to the goal of ensuring that all food produced is food consumed.

1.1 How SavioBag Works

To support this goal we provide an easy concept by which we empower consumers, like you, that use our App (collectively "users") to save meals from retail and food service businesses like supermarkets, bakeries, restaurants, cafes, and other businesses with surplus food (each a "Business"). Our App helps you to find Businesses and reserve surplus food. Businesses offer surplus food by listing a quantity of bags on the App they will fill with their surplus food and make available to be reserved by you (we call each of these bags a "Surprise Bag").

1.2 SavioBag's Role

As you use our App keep in mind, SavioBag does not own, control, offer or manage the contents of any Surprise Bags made available by Businesses for Reservation. SavioBag is also not a party to the sale of the food that Businesses provide to you in Surprise Bags. We are exclusively an intermediary connecting you with Businesses.

2. Acceptance of Terms

These User Terms ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and SavioBag that govern your use of the SavioBag App and website (collectively, the "SavioBag Marketplace"). By accessing or using any part of the Marketplace, you accept, without limitation or qualification, these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you are prohibited from using any portion of the Marketplace. The registration of an Account requires your express acceptance of these Terms.

These Terms reflect the way that SavioBag works and define our relationship with you as you interact with us. Understanding these Terms is important because, by using the SavioBag Marketplace you're agreeing to these Terms. By accepting these Terms, you confirm that you have read and accepted our Privacy Policy.

3. Using SavioBag

3.1 How to save a meal from waste using SavioBag

SavioBag App provides a simple method for you to save meals from the waste bin in 4 easy steps:

  • A Surprise Bag is made available by a Business that uses SavioBag for reservation by consumers like you.
  • A list of Businesses with available Surprise Bags will be displayed to you in the App. Please note that a list based on your location can only be displayed if you allow the App to use location services where the App can track your location when you use the App.
  • You place a reservation of an available Surprise Bag from a Business you select in the App.
  • You pick up your reserved Surprise Bag at the relevant Business during the time period provided by the Business.

4. User Accounts

Your SavioBag user account is where you manage the details of your relationship with us and use the App to make reservations with Businesses. You must register and create an account by providing us with all the information we require during account registration or anytime after ("Account") on the App. You must keep your Account information complete, accurate and updated. Any failure to provide or maintain this information may interfere with our ability to provide our services to you.

4.1 You should never:

  • Select or use as a username a name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person.
  • Use as a username a name subject to any rights of a person other than you without appropriate authorization.
  • Use as a username a name that is otherwise offensive, vulgar or obscene.
  • Use another person's Account or registration information.
  • Share your Account with others.
  • Publish, distribute or post login information for your Account or another's.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

5. Reservations

You may reserve Surprise Bags available for sale by a Business by placing a Reservation with a Business you select via the App (each a "Reservation"). A list of active Businesses with available Surprise Bags can be found on the App.

The list of Businesses displayed to you is based on various criteria that you can filter for example by geographical location, pick-up time, or other options made available in the App from time to time.

5.1 Keep in mind these important points:

  • By making a Reservation you reserve a Surprise Bag which may potentially be available from a Business. An example of when a bag you reserve is not available is when a Business does not have the quantity of surplus food available they originally projected, the Business may cancel the reservation.
  • A Reservation is not a purchase, rather it's an offer by you to the Business to reserve a Surprise Bag potentially available for pick-up at the Business. The purchase of a Surprise Bag takes place upon pick-up at which time the purchase is exclusively concluded between you and the Business.

5.2 Reservation Confirmation

Once we receive the Reservation, we will begin processing it by sending the Reservation to the relevant Business. We will notify you that the Reservation has been received and provide you with an order identification number (each a "Reservation Confirmation") that is redeemable for a Surprise Bag at the applicable Business. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Reservation Confirmation in the App can be shown to the Business and swiped by you upon pick-up.

6. Contents of Surprise Bags

6.1 SavioBag's role

As the provider of the SavioBag Marketplace we have no insights into the contents of Surprise Bags. We do not own, control, touch, offer or manage any listings of Surprise Bags that Businesses make available. We do not manufacture, sell, purchase, store, prepare, produce, process, mark, pack, deliver or handle the Surprise Bags. We have no responsibility or liability for the contents of the Surprise Bag (including the quality, ingredients, and allergens), for the information provided by the Businesses or for the availability of information regarding the Surprise Bags on the App. We are exclusively an intermediary and as a result we are not a party to the sale of the food Businesses provide to you in Surprise Bags. If you have any questions regarding Surprise Bags displayed on the App you should contact the relevant Business. The Business's contact information will appear on the App.

6.2 Business's role

Upon Pick-up and prior to swiping the Reservation Confirmation, the Business is responsible for providing you with information regarding the list of ingredients, allergens and other labeling-related information as well as the actual contents regarding the Surprise Bag. We are not responsible for any ingredient, allergy, caloric or other nutritional information provided by the Businesses or otherwise found on the App nor will we assume any liability for any adverse reactions from content in the Surprise Bag for any reason. It is yours and the Business's responsibility to confirm whether any allergens are present in the Surprise Bag. If you are in doubt about allergy warnings, contents of a Surprise Bag or any other information, you should confirm with the Business directly before the conclusion of Pick-up.

By purchasing a surprise bag, you acknowledge and accept that the specific contents are unknown at the time of purchase and may vary.

7. Pick-up and Delivery

7.1 Pick-up

You must retrieve the Surprise Bag reserved on the App at the designated location during the time period stated on the App and in the Reservation Confirmation ("Pick-up"). Upon Pick-up, you shall show your Reservation Confirmation in the App to the Business, after which the Business will hand out the reserved Surprise Bag upon you swiping the receipt in the App. You should always make sure that the Surprise Bag handed out corresponds to your Reservation. If you do not Pick-up the Reservation within the time period set out in the Reservation Confirmation, the Surprise Bag may no longer be available and we will be entitled to charge you for the Reservation Price.

7.2 Delivery Policy

At this time, SavioBag does not support delivery services. All Surprise Bag orders must be picked up in-person at the designated Business location during the specified pick-up window. We are continuously evaluating our services and may introduce delivery options in the future. Should delivery services become available, they will be subject to additional terms, conditions, and fees, which will be communicated through the App and updated in these Terms and Conditions.

8. Reservation Cancellation

At times Businesses do not have the surplus food they originally anticipated or the surplus food may not be satisfactory to you. For these reasons and other, Reservations may be cancelled by you, Businesses, and SavioBag.

8.1 Cancellation by you

In App: You may cancel a Reservation within the App at any time before the earlier of: (i) the conclusion of Pick-up or (ii) the end of the Pick-up time listed by the Business.

In Business: You may cancel your Reservation in the Business for any reason any time before you Pick-up your reserved Surprise Bag. You must communicate your decision to cancel your Reservation to us via the complaint link in the App.

8.2 Cancellation by Business

Generally Businesses may cancel your Reservation until one (1) hour before the beginning of the agreed time of Pick-up. However, at times a Business may cancel later than one hour before the Pick-up time if needed (for example, if the Business sells out of the food they anticipated to be surplus at the time of Pick-up). If a Business cancels, you will receive a cancellation notification via email, SMS and/or the App provided you provided the correct contact information to us and that you agreed to receive such notifications.

8.3 Cancellation by SavioBag

Reservations may be cancelled by us at our discretion when necessary, like in the event of a recall, dispute, or other matter we think requires that action to be taken.

9. Food Safety and Quality

While we work with trusted partners, SavioBag does not guarantee the quality, safety, or suitability of food items for consumption. Users are responsible for inspecting items upon receipt and using their judgment regarding food safety and quality.

10. Price, Payment, and Refunds

10.1 Price

The Surprise Bags' stated value on the App is a minimum value had the Surprise Bag not been sold as surplus food. All prices are indicated in the currency of the country in which the Business is located. Prices include VAT where applicable.

10.2 SavioBag as Business's agent for collecting payments

The Reservation Price you pay is collected from you by us on behalf of the Business. Businesses have granted power of attorney to SavioBag to receive payments from you on their behalf in full discharge of your payment obligation for the Surprise Bags you Reserve and the Businesses sell to you.

10.3 Packaging and other fees

In some locations mandatory regulation requires adding a packaging fee or other fees for Surprise Bags. If applicable, such fee(s) will be displayed in the App.

10.4 Payment process

The payment flow may vary slightly depending on the selected payment method due to internal processes at the payment provider, but the flow described below is the typical flow associated with common credit cards. Upon placing a Reservation, the price listed on the App by the Business for the Surprise Bag ("Reservation Price") is reserved to the payment method in your Account and completing a Reservation in the App authorises us to reserve the Reservation Price to the selected payment method. The Reservation Price is charged to your Account upon Pick-up or at the end of the Pick-up time if the reserved Surprise Bag is cancelled outside the parameters of section 8.1 above unless local laws or regulations apply that require a different procedure. If a Reservation is cancelled in accordance with section 8 of these Terms, the amount reserved will be released or refunded to you if you were already charged without any other compensation owed to you (unfortunately some payment methods trigger immediate charge of the Reservation Price due to the payment provider's internal processes). SavioBag may amend, modify or restructure the payment procedure for its users at any time, as it deems reasonable.

10.5 Payment method

When completing a Reservation the Reservation Price will be reserved on the payment method (e.g. credit card) you have associated with your user profile in the App. You can pay with accepted debit and credit cards or by other payment methods made available on the App. If using a debit or credit card, you must provide all required information such as your card number, expiration date, security code and other details we may reasonably require. Any such information will be collected, stored and processed by SavioBag's payment service provider, and SavioBag does not have access to the information.

10.6 Refunds

At times we may refund users at our discretion to resolve issues like complaints and recalls. When we do, we may provide refunds to users for some or all of the amounts collected in connection with a Reservation or Pick-up. All refund requests must be submitted to us within 30 days of the end of the Pick-up window for the Reservation. You will not be entitled to a refund if you submit a refund request to us after 30 days following the date of the end of the Pick-up window for the Reservation.

10.7 No Exchange Policy

SavioBag does not offer exchanges for Surprise Bags. Due to the nature of surplus food sales and the variety of contents in each Surprise Bag, all sales are final and exchanges are not permitted. If you have concerns about your Surprise Bag, please contact us through the App within the timeframe specified in section 10.6 above to discuss potential refund options.

11. User Complaints

Complaints should be submitted through the Help Center in the Account section of the App before taking any other action. You must include the reason you are unsatisfied and any other information reasonably requested by us. After receiving the complaint, we will process the complaint in accordance with our internal complaint practices and when needed in cooperation with the Business. These Terms do not limit the means otherwise available to you to resolve any dispute you have with the Business under applicable law.

12. Your Responsibilities

We can't cover everything here but we've highlighted a few areas that are an important part of your relationship with SavioBag.
