Your breach of these Terms or any other agreement with us; and
Your breach of any applicable law.

You agree to indemnify My Muscle Chef (including our directors, employees, contractors, assigns, and related bodies corporate) (Indemnified Parties) from and against any and all claims (including in negligence), liabilities, costs, expenses (including legal fees) and loss suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties and arising in any way from any of the matters set out in paragraphs (a) – (d) above. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any third party claims or matter which is otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defence of such claims.

Changing or Cancelling Orders – Cut-Off Period

In the first instance, if you would like to change or cancel your Order then please contact My Muscle Chef Customer Support as soon as possible.
Our business model requires that we use fresh ingredients and cook fresh meals to order every day therefore if you want to change your Order (including cancelling because of an error or due to a change of mind), we can only accommodate that change before the Cut-off Period has expired. The Cut-off Period commences when you place your Order and expires on the earlier of:
1. six hours from the time you place the Order; or
2. The cut-off period commences when you place your order, and expires six hours after the time you place the order.
Subject to the non-excludable provisions of the Australian Consumer Law, any change or cancellation requests made after the Cut-off Period has expired cannot be honoured because your Order will already be committed to processing in our kitchens and with our third party suppliers. If your change or cancellation request is not received by us before the Cut-Off Period has expired, you will be charged the full amount of the Order.
Adding, deleting or substituting items on an Order constitutes a change to the original Order. This is not possible after the Cut-Off Period has expired. Instead, a new Order will be required to be placed. We are not able to combine multiple Orders.
Any change to an Order may cause a change in the fees payable and the shipping time frame for that Order.
A refund is only possible if a change or cancellation request is received by us before the Cut-Off Period has expired. At My Muscle Chef’s absolute discretion, we may offer you an account credit if you cancel your Order outside of these terms, (but we are not obliged to do so).

Delivery

We deliver to areas in ACT, NSW, QLD, SA, VIC and WA. A flat rate delivery fee is charged for each delivery based on your suburb. You can get more information about our delivery regions and delivery fees on our Delivery Page.
In order to effect delivery of your Products we may elect to engage a third party contractor and you agree to our use of a third party contractor at our sole discretion.
If you are not home at time of delivery we will leave the Order at the front door or in an area specified by you in the instructions when placing your Order. The ice packs in the box mean that it can usually be left in a shaded area for up to 5-8 hours. This is a guide only and may change depending on weather, temperature and other ambient conditions. My Muscle Chef Pty Ltd will not be liable for damage to the Products arising because they were left outside or if the box is damaged or stolen after delivery. The entire risk in the Products passes to you when the Products are delivered to your address.
It is your obligation to enter the correct delivery address details at time of ordering. If you enter the wrong address, we are not obliged to re-send the Order to the correct address at our expense.
We will provide you with an estimated date of delivery of your meals and will make every reasonable effort to deliver on this date. We use third party contractors to perform delivery services and many aspects of the delivery network are beyond our control. We will not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from late delivery.
If you live in a secured apartment complex, please ensure you are home to receive your delivery.
It is the responsibility of the customer to inform My Muscle Chef Pty Ltd by calling us if an Order does not arrive. Our contact details are provided at the end of these Terms, (below). Once we learn an Order has not arrived on the due date, we will make enquiries and use reasonable efforts to arrange delivery as soon as possible thereafter. We will not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from late delivery.

Recurring Orders (Subscriptions)

If you sign up to receive a series of regular Orders your credit card will be charged on the same day every week, fortnight or month. The charge day depends on the day you placed your order and will be listed on your account profile. If your credit card provider declines our request for payment for any reason then the charge dates may vary.
If you consent to allow us to charge your credit card for Orders, all charges are processed via a third party PCI compliant payment gateway. My Muscle Chef Pty Ltd never stores the actual card information on our servers.
You can change your recurring Order anytime, subject to the Cut-Off Period. For recurring Orders, the Cut-Off Period to make a change commences when we charge your credit card for that regular Order (every week, fortnight or month) and expires six hours from the time we charge your credit card for that regular Order (every week, fortnight or month).
Any change or cancellation requests made after the Cut-off Period for your next immediate recurring Order has expired cannot be honoured because your Order will already be committed to processing in our kitchens and with our third party suppliers. Future deliveries (for the subsequent week, fortnight or month) can still be updated via your account profile.
You can pause your recurring Order at any time (subject to the Cut-Off Period). Simply, log on to your account profile to skip deliveries based on your preference. If you require any assistance please contact us. Our contact details are provided at the end of these Terms, (below).
