1. GoVege Service - Managing Your Orders
1.1. Ordering through the Platform. Orders must be received before posted cutoff times for a given delivery (see Delivery of Products below for details). Available delivery date and time windows and associated delivery fees and promotions will be shown during the ordering process. Delivery timeslots are available on a first-come first-served basis. To view delivery and cutoff times, visit the Delivery Info section of the Platform. Note that modified orders are subject to price changes and a change of a delivery date may not guarantee the availability of your desired items.
You may cancel orders by contacting our Customer Service at govegeonline@gmail.com. Please see the "Contact Us" section of the Platform for Customer Service hours.
1.2. Price, Availability and Substitutions. GoVege strives to provide you with great prices compared to the competition near your delivery address, and certain items may be priced differently depending on your last delivery address or the address you choose before placing items in your cart. Due the perishable nature of our products, certain products may be unavailable due to market conditions beyond our control or quality that is below our standards. If we have an item that's very similar to the item you ordered, we reserve the right to make item substitutions. If you're not happy with the substitution, please email us at govegeonline@gmail.com. If we are unable to fulfill your entire order with the items you order or appropriate substitutions, we will use reasonable efforts to contact you prior to delivery (which may include notice in your confirmation email). Once you complete checkout, your price, is guaranteed unless you placed an order for an item where we have inadvertently listed an incorrect price. In those circumstances, we reserve the right to cancel undelivered orders for such incorrectly priced products; we will contact you immediately in such circumstances, and, of course, your payment method will not be charged.
Please note: we reserve the right to limit your order or the quantity of a particular product that you may order.
1.3. Delivery Fee. A delivery fee may be added to your order. Any such fee is not a gratuity for the delivery personnel who delivers or is otherwise involved with the delivery of your order and will not be given to any such delivery personnel as a gratuity.
1.4. Variable Weight Orders. Because many perishable items are individually prepared for you, the per-item price you see in your shopping cart for variable weight items is based on an estimated weight. The final price of these variable weight items will be based on the same price per kilogram/gram indicated at time of checkout, but the actual price charged is determined once we have prepared and weighed your order, and that actual price will appear on the invoice issued to you on the day of your delivery.
1.5. Minimum Purchase. Your order may be subject to minimum purchase order total, may not including GST, delivery fees, and surcharges.
1.6. Cancellations. Cancellation of orders after the required cutoff time will result in a restocking fee equal to the sum of (a) 100% of the total RM amount of your perishable items (since many of our perishable items are individually prepared) plus (b) 25% of the total RM amount of your nonperishable items.
2. GoVege Service - Payment
2.1. Credit/Debit Card Payment. To place an order, you must have a credit card or debit card ("Card") on file with GoVege.

However, in the event such an order is processed, GoVege reserves the right to collect funds for any uncollected transaction charges or fees owed to it. If you fail to pay any fees or charges when due, including but not limited to returned checks, rejected electronic payments, redelivery fees or restocking fees, GoVege may charge such amount directly to the Card identified in your Customer Account and GoVege may suspend or terminate your access to the GoVege Service.

GoVege will automatically attempt to process checking account payments twice. If the first request is declined, GoVege may charge a fee of $2.00 per order to cover the cost of exception processing.

2.7. Bottle Deposit. In accordance with applicable state law, GoVege collects a State Bottle Deposit for each bottle of certain items, such as beer, soda, mineral water and still waters.

9.3. Limits and Adjustments to Delivery. Go Vege delivers case sizes of a variety of different goods。 Given the heavy weight of some of these products, and our concern for the health and safety of our personnel, we have purchase limits on a variety of these items . Additionally, in the interest of the health and safety of our personnel, in non-elevator buildings, the highest floor we can deliver to is the 5th floor and with orders containing 3 cases or more of beverages or other heavy items, we cannot deliver above the 4th floor. In the event of a non-functioning elevator, the preceding delivery restrictions apply. Our technology cannot and does not enforce these limits. We ask you to abide by these service limitations, as we the reserve the right to limit a delivery when an order exceeds these limitations.
9.4. Invoices. You will receive an invoice the day of your delivery. If something is missing from your order, please contact our Customer Service line or e-mail at govegeonline@gmail.com.

If there will be a significant delay in delivering your order, a customer service representative may call or e-mail you to let you know the status of your delivery time. We will attempt to deliver your order as quickly as possible when the conditions permit. We will never deliver an order past 12:30 AM without your consent. If your designated delivery location or day is inaccessible, rendering us unable to make the delivery, we will contact you to determine the best alternate location and/or date to make the delivery.
