These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PASUGO mobile application, website, and services operated by [Company legal name] ("PASUGO," "we," "us," or "our"), a local food and goods delivery service for Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay.

By creating an account or using PASUGO, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be of legal age and capable of entering into a binding contract to use PASUGO. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account and to keep it updated.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.

2. The Service

PASUGO is a platform that connects customers with local merchants and riders within Buug for the ordering and delivery of food and goods. Service availability is limited to Buug, Zamboanga Sibugay, and depends on merchant and rider availability.

Merchants are responsible for their products, listings, pricing, preparation, and compliance with applicable laws. Riders are responsible for the delivery of orders. PASUGO facilitates these interactions but is not the manufacturer or seller of merchant products.

3. Orders and Acceptance

When you place an order, you make an offer to purchase the selected items. An order is confirmed once accepted by the merchant. We may apply additional confirmation steps for large orders and may detect and prevent duplicate orders to protect you.

Estimated delivery times (typically 20–45 minutes within Buug) are estimates only and are not guaranteed.

4. Pricing, Fees, and Payment

Prices for items are set by merchants and shown in the app. Applicable delivery fees and other charges are displayed before you confirm your order. You agree to pay the total amount shown at checkout using the available payment methods. [Specify accepted payment methods]

All amounts are in Philippine Pesos (₱) unless stated otherwise.

5. Delivery

You agree to provide an accurate delivery address and to be available to receive your order. If delivery cannot be completed due to incorrect information, unavailability, or failure to respond, additional charges may apply or the order may be cancelled.

6. Cancellations, Refunds, and Complaints

Cancellation eligibility depends on the status of your order; orders already accepted or being prepared may not be cancellable. Refunds, where applicable, are handled in accordance with our policies and the circumstances of the order. [Specify cancellation and refund policy]

You may raise issues about an order through in-app chat within the applicable complaint window (approximately 15–20 minutes after delivery). We will review complaints in good faith.

  • Providing false information or impersonating others.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PASUGO and its affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the order giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under Philippine law, including the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394).

10. Disclaimers

The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that merchant products will meet your expectations.

11. Changes to the Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app or website. Continued use of PASUGO after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
