1. Overview

Welcome to The Shared Lunchbox.

By using our website or placing an order, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

These terms apply to all group orders, products and services offered through our website.


2. How Our Group Orders Work

We offer group catering-style lunch boxes designed for workplaces, events and community groups.

  • Orders are placed by one person (the organiser) on behalf of a group
  • Pricing is per person
  • A minimum of 10 people applies to all orders

After booking:

  • We may provide a link so individuals can choose their own lunch
  • If selections are not completed, we will finalise the order on your behalf

3. Orders

By placing an order, you confirm that:

  • All details provided are accurate
  • You are authorised to place the order
  • You understand this is a group order (not individual purchases)

The organiser is responsible for:

  • Providing correct event and delivery details
  • Sharing any selection links with their group
  • Ensuring selections are completed on time

We reserve the right to:

  • Adjust or cancel orders if minimum requirements are not met
  • Finalise selections where required information is missing

4. Pricing

  • All prices are listed in Australian Dollars (AUD) and include GST
  • Pricing is per person and calculated based on total quantity selected
  • Prices may change at any time prior to order confirmation

5. Changes & Cancellations

Because our food is fresh and made to order:

  • Changes or cancellations must be made at least 3 days prior to your event
  • Changes requested after this time may not be possible

We do not offer refunds for:

  • Change of mind
  • Late cancellations
  • Unused portions

6. Delivery

  • Delivery is based on the details provided at checkout
  • Customers must ensure delivery information is accurate and accessible

We are not responsible for delays caused by:

  • Incorrect delivery details
  • Lack of access to the delivery location
  • Events outside our control

Once delivered, responsibility transfers to the customer.


7. Product Information

We aim to keep everything as accurate as possible, however:

  • Images are for illustrative purposes
  • Ingredients, packaging and presentation may vary
  • Items may change based on seasonal availability

8. Allergens & Dietary Requirements

We do our best to accommodate dietary needs where possible.

However:

  • Our kitchen handles common allergens
  • We cannot guarantee allergen-free products

Customers are responsible for ensuring suitability for their needs.


9. Refunds & Consumer Guarantees

We comply with the Australian Consumer Law.

You may be entitled to a refund, replacement or credit if products:

  • Are faulty or unsafe
  • Are not of acceptable quality
  • Do not match their description

Due to the perishable nature of our products, we do not provide refunds for change of mind.


10. Competitions & Promotions

  • Winners can still redeem prizes under our current service model
  • Additional terms may apply to specific promotions
