If you do not provide us with the necessary proof, we may stop sending you Delivery Opportunities, and suspend or revoke your access to the Platform.

5. Service Level Expectations

5.1 You are not obligated to accept a Delivery Opportunity. However, if you decide to accept a Delivery Opportunity, you agree to meet the specified service level expectations detailed in Schedule A of this Participation Agreement.

6. Independent Contractor Service

6.1 At all times during the duration of the Participation Agreement, you agree that you are an independent contractor offering delivery through the Platform.

6.2 This Participation Agreement does not establish an employment relationship, agency, partnership, or joint venture between you and Skip.

6.3 As an independent contractor, you are not entitled to any statutory benefits, such as minimum hours or pay, overtime pay, holiday hours or pay, or any other benefits typically provided in an employment relationship.

6.4 You are not authorized to represent yourself as an employee of Skip. Further, you cannot act in Skip's name, on its behalf, or bind Skip, except as expressly permitted under this Participation Agreement.

6.5 Nothing in this section constitutes a waiver of rights asserted by you, or on your behalf, in proceedings commenced prior to the duration of the Participation Agreement, if any.

6.6 Equipment and Expenses

You are solely responsible for providing the necessary tools of the trade required to fulfill the Shop + Pay Delivery Experience. Skip will not reimburse you for any expenses or costs associated with these tools.

6.7 Control Over Schedule

You do not need to inform Skip of your availability for potential Delivery Runs or to choose Open Runs. It's completely up to you when or if you decide to indicate your availability through the App to potentially receive Delivery Run or access Open Run.

Each week, we allocate Delivery Runs for the following week. Before the end of the prescribed day of the week (to be communicated via email), you may log into the App to indicate the days and times you wish to be available in the upcoming week. We will notify you if a Delivery Run has been allocated to you and this will be displayed in the ‘scheduling’ section of the App.

We may add Open Runs in the App at any time. If you wish to make yourself available for Delivery Opportunities during an Open Run, you may log into the App and create a schedule based on available Open Runs, which will then be displayed in the ‘scheduled runs’ section of the App.

We do not commit to offering you a minimum number of Delivery Runs or offer Open Runs and we are not required to offer any Delivery Run or Open Runs to you.

6.8 Non Exclusivity

You are not required to provide Delivery Service via the Platform.

You are free to provide your services to anyone else, including our competitors, at any time, even during a Delivery Run.

Despite any provisions in section 6.8(b) you are contractually obligated to use your business judgment to ensure that Deliveries are completed promptly, taking into account the nature of the Delivery Items ordered and the expected Delivery Time.

6.9 Delivery Run

Before the start of a Delivery Run, you can, via the App (without any impact on your Delivery Opportunity ‘Acceptance Rate’ (see section 6.10)):

  • Cancel the Delivery Run; or
  • Arrange for a Personnel to take over the Delivery Run.

During a Delivery Run, you can at any time via the App (without any impact on your Delivery Opportunity ‘Acceptance Rate’):

  • Cancel the remainder of the Run; or
  • Arrange for a Personnel to take over the remainder of the Delivery Run.

6.10 Delivery Opportunity Acceptance Rate

If you accept a Delivery Run and log into the App to fulfill the Run, you are not obligated to accept any Delivery Opportunities.

Rejecting a Delivery Opportunity will not affect your ability to accept other Delivery Opportunities.

We may maintain an acceptance rate system based on your most recent ten (10) Delivery Opportunities (“Acceptance Rate”).

While your Acceptance Rate may be considered when offering additional earnings opportunities, Incentive Fee Offers, or future Delivery Opportunities, it does not affect your ability to accept or reject any specific Delivery Opportunities.

If at any time during a Delivery Run, you do not wish to receive Delivery Opportunities, you can at any time use the ‘pause’ function in the App without any impact on your Delivery Opportunity 'Acceptance Rate'. You will still be logged in to the Delivery Run, but you will not receive any Delivery Opportunities until you deactivate the ‘pause’ function.

6.11 Using a Substitute

You have no obligation to join or undertake Delivery Runs personally and are free at any time and for any reason whatsoever to engage a substitute to do so on your behalf (“Personnel”).

You are not required to inform us when you engage a Personnel.

To engage a Personnel, you can give them access to your courier account by:

  • Providing them with a phone on which you are logged in to the App; or
  • By sharing your courier account details to enable them to log in to the App on their own phone.

In the event that you engage a Personnel, you agree that you will:

  • Ensure that your Personnel has the legal authorisation to work in Canada;
  • Ensure that your Personnel has any required certification for delivery of Regulated Items;
  • Be responsible for paying the Personnel;
  • Continue to be subject to all duties and obligations in this Participation Agreement, Service Levels Expectations, Privacy Policy, Terms of Services, Skip Social Code, and any Addenda;
  • Ensure they comply with the terms of this Participation Agreement and any relevant policy, terms, or agreement. Any breach by the Personnel of such terms amounts to a breach by you and you will bear the consequences of such breach; and
  • Ensure that your Personnel has not been previously banned from the Platform provided that if you engage a Personnel that has been banned from the Platform, Skip may suspend or revoke your access to the Platform.

To clarify, you are allowed to have only one Courier Account on the Platform. If you decide to hire Personnel by opening a new Courier Account, all documents associated with the Personnel account must be separate from those linked to your own account. Having two courier accounts with the same or similar documents could lead to both accounts being revoked.

6.12 Flexibility

You are not required to dress in a certain manner during a Delivery Run, and you do not need to use or wear any Skip-branded items.

When you are logged into the Platform for a Delivery Run and marked as "active," you may automatically be matched with Delivery Opportunities using predefined algorithmic factors.

In order to be considered for Delivery Opportunities during a Delivery Run, you must for the period in which you wish to receive Delivery Opportunities during such Run:

  • Be logged into the App on your mobile phone; and
  • Maintain active, valid, and accurate geo-location and data services on your phone.

Every time you accept a Delivery Opportunity, an agreement will be formed on the same terms and conditions set out in the Participation Agreement to govern that Delivery.

Upon receiving Delivery Opportunity, you will be provided with details including but not limited to:

  • Pickup location;
  • Delivery Items;
  • Delivery location;
  • Estimated compensation; and
  • Customer Delivery Instructions.

You are not required to accept any Delivery Opportunities that we may offer. We do not commit to offer you a minimum number of Delivery Opportunities and we are not required to offer any Delivery Opportunities to you. Declining a Delivery Opportunity does not affect your ability to receive future Delivery Opportunities.

You may elect via the App or by email not to receive any Delivery Opportunities for orders that contain Regulated Items.

You can cancel an accepted Delivery Run at any point before you accept Delivery Opportunities.

If you cancel a Delivery Run after you have accepted Delivery Opportunities or completed the shopping of Delivery Items, you may be required to return the Delivery Items to the Store.

Every time you accept a Delivery Opportunity, an agreement will be formed on the same terms and conditions set out in the Participation Agreement at the time of the Delivery Opportunity, to govern that Delivery.

We may list the Delivery Items in a specific order, but you are not obligated to shop for them in that sequence. It is your responsibility to use business judgment in how you shop for the Delivery Items.

6.14 Paying for Delivery Items

For ease of payment only, you will be provided access to the Skip Visa Prepaid Card (“Skip Visa Card”).

To access the Skip Visa Card, you may be required to agree to the payment provider's terms.

You agree to use the Skip Visa Card only for purchasing Delivery Items and any related expenses like grocery bags and sales tax.

6.15 Delivery Route

You determine the route and method for completing a Delivery under this Participation Agreement.

When you accept a Delivery Opportunity, we will display a suggested route but you are not required to follow this route. You can choose your preferred navigation tools for completing Deliveries under this Participation Agreement.

You agree to exercise reasonable judgment in selecting the most efficient routes for deliveries, taking into account factors such as traffic conditions, distance, and delivery timelines.

9.3 Incentive Fee Offers

Skip may, at its sole discretion, offer a discretionary incentive offer to you under special circumstances as determined by Skip ("Incentive Fee Offers"). If offered, Skip will communicate the Incentive Fee Offers to you along with the conditions and criteria for eligibility. You are under no obligation to accept or participate in any Incentive Fee Offer. Non-participation in an Incentive Fee Offer will not affect your ability to offer your Delivery Services on the Platform. If you opt to participate in an Incentive Fee offer, the amount payable will be reflected in your weekly earnings statement.

9.4 Regulated Item Return Fees

In the event of a return of Regulated Item, you may be entitled to receive an increased or additional fee, as determined by Skip. Any additional compensation or fees payable to you for the return of Regulated Items shall be shown on your Earnings Statement.

9.5 Undeliverable and Cancelled Orders

If we cancel the Delivery Opportunity due to the Customer or Store cancelling the order or for any other reason unrelated to your act or omission, you will receive payment (based on the distance you have travelled using predetermined metrics) up to the point of cancellation. In the event that a Delivery Opportunity cannot be completed due to reasons directly or indirectly unrelated to your act or omission and beyond your control (such as an incorrect address, inability to confirm age for Regulated Items, etc.), you will receive payment for such delivery subject to Skip investigating the reasons.

9.6 Source Deduction, Sales Tax, and Withholding Fees

You acknowledge that Skip will not make any deductions at source, including but not limited to Income Tax, Employment Insurance (EI), Canada Pension Plan (CPP), or any other statutory deductions, from payments made to you under this Participation Agreement.

Upon providing proof of Sales Tax registration and any other required documentation to Skip, Skip will pay you the applicable Sales Tax on your Delivery Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Skip reserves the right to withhold any fees or payments due to you to comply with any applicable garnishment order, court order, or legal obligation imposed on Skip.

9.7 Fee Adjustments

Skip reserves the right to adjust the fees paid or payable to you for each Delivery Opportunity in the event of any of the following occurrences:

  • Customer Dispute: If a Customer disputes the completion or quality of a service provided by you, and after investigation, we determine that you did not meet the required standards.
  • Undelivered Order: If a Customer disputes delivery and after investigation, we find that:
    • The Delivery Items were not delivered;
    • You did not provide proof of Delivery; or
    • You have multiple undelivered orders over a period of time.
  • Violation of Agreement: If you breach any material term of this Participation Agreement, including but not limited to failure to comply with Customer Delivery Instructions, applicable regulations, or Service Levels Expectations.
  • Fraud or Misconduct: If you engage in fraudulent activities, misrepresentation, or misconduct that directly or indirectly impacts Delivery Run, Deliveries, or Delivery time.

Upon determination of the validity of the grounds for Fee Adjustments, Skip may deduct the clawed-back amount from current or future payments to you or demand repayment within a specified timeframe. You may appeal the decision of Fee Adjustment or revocation. You can refer to this page on the inside track.

At Skip we are committed to protecting the privacy of everyone in our community and who makes use of our services. It is important that you read this Statement, together with any other privacy statement or policy we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing data about you, so that you are aware of how and why we are using such data, your rights regarding your data and how to exercise them.

By visiting and/or using the Courier Platform, you consent to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and transfer of your data as set out in this Statement. In some cases, we may ask you to provide explicit consent if we intend to collect, use or disclose your data otherwise than as indicated in this Statement, however sometimes your consent may be implied through your conduct with us.

If you do not agree with any part of this Statement you should not use or conduct any transactions on the Courier Platform, navigate away from the Courier Platform immediately, and uninstall our application.

What data is processed in the Courier Platform

Personal Data means any information or set of information from which we are able, directly or indirectly, to personally identify you, in particular by reference to an identifier e.g. name, email address, phone number, etc. Personal Data does not include data where the identity has been removed (anonymous data). In some cases, Personal Data can also be business information and may be subject to certain exceptions under applicable privacy laws.

The following Personal Data and/or business information is collected through the Courier Platform and processed by us:

  • First and last name
  • Contact information, including your mailing address, phone number and email address and password
  • Identification documents
  • Proof of work eligibility
  • Vehicle and insurance information
  • Background check information
  • Banking information
  • Tax information, including SINs/BINs
  • Timestamps relating to:
    • Your accepted shifts;
    • Your start and end times; and
    • Your job interactions, including geo-fenced timestamps for food collection and delivery
  • Your live GPS location and route taken
  • Your availability
  • IP Address
  • Device data including your model, manufacturer, MAC Address and software version
  • Communications data
  • Other contractor materials we require from you, such as alcohol delivery certification.

Why we process Personal Data and business information

When using the Courier Platform, Skip may process your data for the following purposes:

  1. Account creation

In order to provide your independently contracted delivery services via the Courier Platform, you must sign-up for a courier account. We use this information to handle your submission and to manage any ongoing contractor relationship.

  1. Setting your availability and obtaining shifts

In order to deliver on the Courier Platform, you must provide us with your availability so that we can offer you shifts.

  1. Order delivery, network efficiency and optimisation

Your GPS location is used for order delivery, network efficiency and optimisation. During an active shift, we access your live GPS location, and any routes taken to pick up or drop off orders. We need to access your GPS location at regular intervals and when you “swipe” in the Courier App at various stages in the delivery process, so that we can offer you orders for delivery, which you can always accept or decline, and track your location and route taken during delivery. This data is stored and used by Skip to better estimate drive times, and to support customer service inquiries from customers and Partners.

We also need to access your location while you are looking for a shift in order to show you delivery zones near you. If you are not using the Courier App, we do not process your GPS location.

If you are using an iOS device, you must set your location settings to “Allow Location Access: Always” and “Precise location: on”.

If you are using an Android device, you must set your location settings to “Allow Location Access all the time”.

These tracking settings must be turned on while you are using the Courier App. If you turn off the tracking settings on your phone, the Courier App will not work properly and your phone will prompt you to switch the location settings back on.

You may choose to turn off these settings when you are not using the Courier App. Even if you choose to leave these settings on when you are not using the Courier App, Skip does not access your location when you are not on shift or using the Courier App.

We also access your speed to determine if your app has been updated while you are moving through the delivery process.

If you try to contact the customer via the Courier App in order to complete your delivery, we keep a log of whether you attempted to call or text the customer, including timestamps, and we collect the content of text or in-app messages with the customer. This Communications Data is used to support customer service inquiries from customers and Partners.

  1. Customer and Partner reviews

Partners (restaurants, convenience stores, grocery stores and other businesses that offer products for delivery on www.skipthedishes.com, or the various associated websites, platforms or applications (collectively and each individually, the "Skip Platform")) and/or customers may be provided with the opportunity to provide a review of your delivery services.

  1. Support

The Courier Platform allows you to ask support questions by chat, email or phone related to your delivery services and/or courier account. Skip will use your data to provide you with the necessary support. Calls may be recorded for training and quality purposes.

  1. Loyalty programs and campaigns

Skip offers loyalty programs to provide you with offers and discounts. When you make use of one of our loyalty programs, we process your data to provide you with the discounts or offers as set out in the respective loyalty program. From time to time, Skip may also launch contests, sweepstakes or other promotions.

  1. Courier research

We only send you these types of communications with your prior consent, unless this is not necessary according to the applicable law.

If you do not wish to receive these surveys you can unsubscribe from them in the messages itself, or by otherwise contacting Skip.

  1. Analysis

Skip uses your data to create data in aggregate and/or de-identified format to be able to conduct internal research and analytics, improve the Courier Platform including our range of products and services and any other legally permissible purpose.

Skip may provide aggregate or de-identified data to meet reporting obligations to promotional partners.

Skip will process your business contact information to communicate with you about your courier account, deliveries performed by you, feedback received from customers and/or Partners about your delivery services, and any other communications relevant to your contract with Skip, or your application to contract with Skip. We may also process your data to notify you occasionally about important changes or developments to the Courier Platform, products, services or your account, including changes to this Privacy Statement, Skip’s Terms of Service/Use or your contract with Skip. You cannot opt out of the above communications unless you terminate your contractual relationship with Skip.

We might use your data for personalized communications, marketing and product or services personalization. With your prior consent or when permitted by applicable law, we may send you communications about events, products and services that may be of interest to you including offers of products, services and discounts from select third parties, as described below under “Sharing with others”.
