you must and hereby do represent and warrant that you
are at least 18 years old and that you are the parent/legal
guardian of the child/children for whom the meals, snacks,
or other food items described on the Site (collectively,

for whom you are the legal guardian.
Green Bag Lunch cannot and does not guarantee that your
child shall be free from allergic reaction to any Food
items selected by you and provided by Green Bag Lunch,
and you shall be solely responsible for monitoring for,
and protecting your child against, any such reactions.
b. Your Account and Password. You are solely responsible

of your account and related information. Any use of a

- Ordering Through the Site.
You acknowledge and agree that you are subscribing to a
Food Plan for your child, consisting of predetermined Food
items. We strive to suit the individual needs of your child;
however, you acknowledge and agree that the Food menu cannot
be modified to suit all the individual needs of your child.
A current list of schools and camps participating in the
Green Bag Lunch Program will be displayed as you proceed
through the registration and ordering process. You can change
or modify your order anytime 10 or more days in advance
of the lunch delivery.
- Availability.
From time to time certain Food items may be unavailable
due to, among other things, conditions beyond Green Bag
Lunch’s control. In such event, Green Bag Lunch reserves
the right to provide an alternate Food item to fulfill your
order. We will select any alternate Food item to fulfill
your order based on your Order History.
- Delivery and Storage of Product.
To receive delivery of Food items under your Food Plan,
your child's school or camp must have agreed to participate
in the Green Bag Lunch Program. Our delivery personnel will
deliver Food items to a designated place at your child’s
school or camp, and the school or camp will allow your child
to pick up the Food items having his/her name on it.
Green Bag Lunch uses coolers in an effort to maintain
the quality and integrity of Food items during delivery.
Green Bag Lunch is not and shall not be responsible in
any way for ensuring that your child’s school or
camp maintains the integrity, quality or other aspect
of such Food items after delivery by Green Bag Lunch.
FOLLOWING DELIVERY BY GREEN BAG LUNCH, THE HANDLING,
SERVING, AND ANY AND ALL OTHER ACTIVITIES REASONABLY RELATED
TO PROVIDING YOUR CHILD’S FOOD ITEMS TO YOUR CHILD,
ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL OR
CAMP, AND GREEN BAG LUNCH DOES NOT AND SHALL NOT BEAR
ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY NEGLIGENCE, MISHANDLING,
MISUSE OF YOUR CHILD’S FOOD ITEMS, OR OTHER ACTION
OR INACTION BY YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL'S OR CAMP’S OR
SUCH OTHER SCHOOL’S OR CAMP’S PERSONNEL OR
ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
In the case unforeseen delivery impediments such as adverse
weather conditions, Green Bag Lunch may adjust its delivery
schedule, which may impact its ability to deliver your
child's lunch. In the event that such delivery schedule
adjustments will result in significant or material delay,
a Green Bag Lunch customer service representative will,
to the extent reasonably practicable, notify you by email
and phone prior to delivering Food items pursuant to the
adjusted schedule. Green Bag Lunch will use reasonable
efforts to resume scheduled delivery as soon as conditions
permit.
- Payment; Refunds.
a. Direct Subscriber Payments. Green Bag Lunch
accepts Visa, MasterCard, DiscoverCard, and American Express.
We do not accept PayPal, and we are unable to apply manufacturer’s

Bag Lunch reserves the right to promptly collect, and you
hereby agree to promptly pay Green Bag Lunch, all amounts
due, payable, or owed by you to Green Bag Lunch. Green Bag

attempt to make a payment by credit card that is declined,
necessitating an alternative mode of payment or exception
processing. Your right to use the Site is subject to limits
established by Green Bag Lunch in its sole discretion and/or

b. Third Party Payments. If you are making payment for
your Food Plan through your child’s school, or camp,
or PTA, PTO or other third party organization (“Organization”),
you are agreeing to pay that Organization the amount it
has specified to you. If you fail to pay any fees or charges
when due, and Green Bag Lunch is so notified by the Organization
that you have not paid the required fees or charges, then
Green Bag Lunch may, in its sole discretion, suspend or
terminate your Service and/or your access to the Site.
You agree that you shall bear sole liability for any fees,
including attorneys' fees and collection costs, that your
school, camp, or Organization may incur in its efforts
to collect any unpaid balances from you. Green Bag Lunch
shall have no liability to third parties for any unpaid
Subscriber charges owed to any Organization.
c. School, Camp and/or Organization Payments. Schools,
camps and/or Organizations should contact Green Bag Lunch
at info@greenbaglunch.com or 847.471.8866 to arrange payment
for the Service.
d. Refunds. For Direct Subscriber Payees, full refunds
will be issued for cancellations that occur at least 10
days prior to the date of delivery. Refunds will be credited
back to the credit card you registered in your Account
Information. For Third Party Payees, refunds are subject
to the policies of the school, camp, PTA, PTO or other
third party organization through which you are paying.
In the case that refunds are allowed by such an organization,
they shall be granted only on cancellations that occur
at least 10 days prior to the date of delivery.
Refunds will not be issued for either Direct Subscriber
Payees or Third Party Payees in the case of unforeseen
changes in the schedules of your child or your child’s
school or camp which occur within 10 days of the date
of delivery. These include sick days, school cancellation
due to adverse weather conditions, unforeseen changes
in school schedule or delivery site, and other such events.
