Terms of Service
The Good Lunch (TGL) — Group Order App
Effective Date: 6-1-2025
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern the use of the TGL Group Order App, website, and associated services (collectively “TGL App”) provided by The Good Lunch (“TGL”). Throughout these Terms, both “Client” and “Clients” refers to both the client company and all employees and other individuals authorized to use the TGL App, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. By accessing or using the TGL App in any capacity, all Clients agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Overview
TGL provides a group meal ordering platform that enables employees of participating companies to order daily boxed meals for centralized delivery. These Terms define the responsibilities of TGL and the Clients regarding service access, ordering, food delivery, use of the platform, and are also subject to the terms of the Group Order Program Agreement.
2. Account Access and Management
TGL will establish accounts within the TGL App based on the information provided by the Client company, with the Client company being responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date employee information. TGL will provide appropriate means for Clients to access the TGL App for meal ordering purposes, and all Clients must access the TGL App solely through authorized channels. Clients are responsible for maintaining the security of their access and for all activities conducted through their account, with any suspected unauthorized access to be reported immediately to both the Client company and TGL. Clients must ensure their meal preferences and dietary restrictions are accurately represented in the TGL App, as TGL is not responsible for orders that do not meet dietary needs if Clients have not properly provided their information. Client companies may designate administrators who will coordinate with TGL regarding program management. Clients may not share access credentials, allow others to place orders on their behalf, or otherwise misuse the TGL App. TGL reserves the right to suspend or terminate access at its sole discretion for violations of these Terms, misuse of the platform, or upon request from the Client company, and Client companies are responsible for notifying TGL when employees or other authorized representatives should no longer have access to the service.
3. Service Description
The TGL App allows employees to:
- Access daily rotating menus
- Select and submit meal orders
- View dietary information and allergens
- Notify users where to find their meals
TGL prepares and delivers the meals based on submitted orders, with all meals individually labeled with employee name, menu item, and provided dietary tags. Clients may view dietary tags (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free) provided by TGL on menu items, but TGL does not customize or modify meals based on individual dietary restrictions or preferences submitted by employees. Meals are prepared in bulk and not tailored to personal dietary needs. Employees with specific dietary concerns are responsible for reviewing provided tags and determining whether a menu item is suitable for them. TGL is not liable for adverse reactions due to allergens or dietary issues if a meal is selected that does not align with an individual’s needs.
4. Client Responsibilities

-

-

-

The TGL App may contain links to other websites or resources (“Linked Sites”). These Linked Sites are not under the control of TGL, and TGL is not responsible for the contents, privacy practices, or terms of any Linked Site. TGL provides these links solely as a convenience, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement or relationship between TGL and the Linked Site.

When communicating with TGL, Clients agree to: (i) communicate professionally and respectfully; (ii) not share information unrelated to the services provided by TGL; and (iii) not distribute any content that is unlawful, offensive, defamatory, or infringes on intellectual property rights.

While TGL does not actively monitor all communications, it may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights of Clients or the public. Clients are advised to exercise caution when sharing sensitive dietary or personal information. TGL disclaims liability for any actions resulting from these communications.

17. Changes to These Terms
TGL reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Clients will be notified in advance of any material changes. Continued use of the TGL App after such updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
18. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provisions. In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation is unsuccessful, any dispute arising from these Terms or any Client’s use of the TGL App shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in San Mateo, California, though Client or TGL may choose to participate remotely via telephone or video conference. The arbitration proceedings and outcome shall be confidential. Discovery shall be permitted in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. Fees shall be paid according to AAA Commercial Rules. The arbitrator may reallocate costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees, in their final award.
CLIENTS AND TGL AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER GROUP PROCEEDING. CLIENTS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING CLAIMS AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS. CLIENTS AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Clients have the right to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate and class action waiver within 30 days of first accessing the TGL App by sending written notice to TGL by mail or by email to the address provided in the Contact Information Section of these Terms stating intent to opt out. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in California, and (ii) either party may bring small claims in a court of competent jurisdiction in California. This Section survives termination of these Terms.
19. Entire Agreement
These Terms of Service, together with the applicable Group Order Program Agreement between TGL and the Client company, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the TGL App and meal services, superseding all prior or contemporaneous communications, understandings, and agreements, whether oral or written. TGL may update these Terms from time to time by posting revised Terms on the TGL App or by notifying Clients directly. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Group Order Program Agreement, the terms of the Group Order Program Agreement shall control with respect to pricing, payment terms, minimum order requirements, cancellation periods, and other business terms specific to the Client’s program, while these Terms shall govern all other aspects of the relationship. The failure of TGL to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
