Terms and Conditions
Welcome to Jorvar, an online food marketplace operating in Ghana. Jorvar enables customers to discover food and other products from participating restaurants, food vendors, and merchants, place orders using voice, typing, or click-to-order functionality, and arrange payment and delivery through the Platform.
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Jorvar website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").
By accessing or using Jorvar, creating an account, or placing an order, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Platform.

The Platform may allow customers to:
- Browse food and products;
- Search for vendors and products;

- Order using voice recordings;
- Type an order or request;
- Select products and options by clicking through the Platform;
- Make electronic payments;

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Jorvar is a marketplace and technology platform and is not the manufacturer or preparer of food sold by third-party vendors.
2.Eligibility
You must provide accurate and current information when using Jorvar.
By using the Platform, you confirm that:
- You are legally capable of entering into an agreement;
- Information provided by you is accurate;
- You will use the Platform only for lawful purposes;
- You will protect your account credentials; and
- You will comply with these Terms and applicable laws of Ghana.
Where a user is under the applicable legal age to independently enter into contracts, use of the Platform should be undertaken with appropriate parental or guardian involvement.
3.Customer Accounts
Some Jorvar features may require you to create an account.
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the confidentiality of your login information;
- Providing accurate account information;
- Keeping your information updated;
- All activity conducted through your account; and
- Informing Jorvar promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.
Jorvar may suspend or terminate an account where there is reasonable evidence of fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, security risks, or violation of these Terms.
4.Methods of Ordering
Jorvar may provide three primary methods of placing an order:
4.1 Voice Ordering
Customers may use the voice-ordering feature to record spoken instructions describing the food or products they wish to order.
4.2 Typing
Customers may type their desired order, search for products, communicate their requirements, or enter other order information.
4.3 Click-to-Order
Customers may browse available vendors and products and place orders by selecting products, quantities, options, and other available choices through the Platform.
Customers may choose whichever ordering method is most convenient.
5.Voice Ordering and Voice Recordings
Jorvar provides a voice-ordering feature that allows customers to record spoken instructions when ordering food.
When you use this feature:
- Your voice may be recorded and processed to understand your request;
- Your recording may be converted into text or structured order information;
- Voice recognition or artificial-intelligence technology may be used to process your recording;
- Your voice recording will be retained for no longer than 8 hours after it is created;
- After the applicable 8-hour retention period, the voice recording will be automatically deleted from Jorvar's systems, subject to limited technical backups or retention required by applicable law;
- Information generated from the recording, such as a transcription or confirmed order details, may be retained separately where necessary to process your order, provide customer support, resolve disputes, maintain transaction records, prevent fraud, improve the service, or comply with legal obligations;
- Authorized third-party technology providers may process voice recordings where necessary to provide the voice-ordering functionality;
- Voice recognition technology may occasionally misunderstand spoken instructions because of background noise, pronunciation, accents, language variations, or technical limitations; and
- Where the Platform provides an order-review or confirmation stage, you should review the order before submitting it.
The 8-hour retention period applies specifically to the voice recording itself. It does not necessarily apply to an order, transaction, account information, or text/transcription generated from the recording.
You may use typing or click-to-order instead of voice ordering at any time.
6.Order Confirmation
Submitting an order does not automatically guarantee acceptance by the vendor.
An order becomes confirmed when the Platform and/or relevant vendor accepts the order, as applicable.
Customers should carefully review:
- Vendor name;
- Food or product selected;
- Quantity;
- Special instructions;
- Delivery address;
- Delivery charges;
- Service charges;
- Total price; and
- Other relevant information
before confirming an order.
7.Vendor Acceptance and Cancellation
A vendor may accept, reject, or cancel an order for legitimate reasons, including:

- Vendor operating hours;
- Technical problems;
- Incorrect or incomplete order information;
- Delivery limitations;
- Payment problems;
- Suspected fraudulent activity;
- Unforeseen operational circumstances; or
- Other reasonable circumstances.
Where an order has already been paid for and cannot be fulfilled, an applicable refund may be processed in accordance with Jorvar's refund procedures and applicable law.
