ALLAREHALAL VENDOR / MERCHANT AGREEMENT
Effective Date: August 31, 2026
Last Updated: August 31, 2026
This Vendor / Merchant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between AllAreHalal, doing business as AllAreHalal (“AllAreHalal,” “Platform,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), and the individual or legal entity registering, applying for, accessing, or using the AllAreHalal Platform as a vendor, merchant, restaurant, grocery store, supermarket, retailer, food provider, or other seller (“Vendor,” “Merchant,” “you,” or “your”).
By creating or maintaining a Vendor account, clicking “I Agree,” electronically accepting this Agreement, listing any product or service on the Platform, accepting an order, or otherwise using the Platform as a Vendor, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be legally bound by this Agreement.
If you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity.
1. ROLE OF ALLAREHALAL
AllAreHalal operates a technology-based online marketplace that enables independent Vendors to display, offer, market, and sell their products to customers.
Except where expressly stated otherwise in writing, AllAreHalal:
1. does not manufacture, prepare, process, cook, package, label, store, inspect, test, certify, own, possess, handle, or control Vendor products;
2. is not the seller, manufacturer, producer, distributor, importer, packager, restaurant, grocery store, food establishment, or supplier of Vendor products;
3. is not responsible for the condition, quality, legality, safety, authenticity, labeling, description, ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, expiration date, storage, preparation, packaging, suitability, merchantability, or fitness for any particular purpose of Vendor products;
4. does not independently verify every statement, representation, certification, license, permit, product description, photograph, ingredient list, halal claim, or other information provided by a Vendor;
5. does not guarantee the identity, reliability, quality, licensing status, financial condition, regulatory compliance, honesty, or performance of any Vendor;
6. does not guarantee the availability, condition, quality, delivery time, pickup time, or fulfillment of any order;
7. is not a delivery company, motor carrier, courier company, transportation provider, or employer of independent third-party delivery personnel where delivery is performed through an independent third-party delivery provider; and
8. merely provides technology, marketplace, payment-facilitation, order-transmission, communication, and related marketplace services.
The Vendor acknowledges and agrees that the Vendor, and not AllAreHalal, is the seller and provider of all products offered by the Vendor through the Platform.
Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, franchise, fiduciary relationship, employment relationship, agency relationship, or other similar relationship between AllAreHalal and Vendor.
Vendor is an independent business and independent contracting party.
2. VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRODUCTS
Vendor assumes sole and complete responsibility for every product that Vendor lists, offers, sells, prepares, packages, or provides through the Platform.
Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that all products:
1. are safe for consumption or use;
2. are fresh, wholesome, merchantable, and fit for their intended purpose;
3. are not spoiled, contaminated, adulterated, damaged, defective, expired, recalled, counterfeit, mislabeled, or otherwise unsafe;
4. are properly stored and maintained at all legally required temperatures and under all required sanitary conditions;
5. are properly prepared, handled, packaged, sealed, and labeled;
6. comply with all applicable federal, state, county, municipal, and local laws, regulations, codes, ordinances, health requirements, food safety rules, consumer protection laws, labeling requirements, and industry standards;
7. do not violate intellectual property rights or other rights of any third party; and
8. match the descriptions, photographs, quantities, weights, sizes, prices, ingredients, certifications, and other representations displayed on the Platform.
Vendor shall be solely responsible for any illness, allergic reaction, injury, death, property damage, economic loss, consumer complaint, refund, investigation, regulatory action, recall, lawsuit, or other claim caused by or allegedly related to Vendor’s products or operations, except to the extent liability cannot legally be waived or allocated under applicable law.
3. FOOD SAFETY AND SANITATION
If Vendor sells food, beverages, grocery products, prepared foods, meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, frozen products, refrigerated products, or other consumable items, Vendor is solely responsible for compliance with all applicable food safety and sanitation requirements.
Vendor shall maintain appropriate procedures relating to:
• food preparation;
• employee hygiene;
• cross-contamination prevention;
• allergen management;
• temperature control;
• refrigeration and freezing;
• hot and cold holding;
• packaging and sealing;
• food storage;
• expiration and use-by dates;
• pest control;
• cleaning and sanitation;
• recall procedures; and
• all other applicable food safety obligations.
AllAreHalal has no duty to inspect Vendor’s premises, kitchen, warehouse, equipment, employees, products, or food handling procedures.
Any inspection, verification, review, or approval conducted by AllAreHalal shall not transfer responsibility from Vendor to AllAreHalal and shall not constitute a representation or warranty that Vendor or its products comply with applicable law.
4. HALAL REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS
Vendor is solely responsible for the truthfulness and accuracy of all representations that any product, ingredient, facility, preparation method, supplier, process, or business practice is “Halal,” “Halal Certified,” “Zabiha,” “Zabihah,” or otherwise compliant with Islamic dietary or religious requirements.
Vendor shall not make any false, deceptive, misleading, unsupported, or unauthorized halal claim.
Where Vendor represents that a product or business is certified by a third-party halal certification organization, Vendor represents and warrants that:
1. the certification is genuine and valid;
2. the certification has not expired, been suspended, or been revoked;
3. the certification applies to the specific products, locations, operations, and activities for which Vendor uses the certification;
4. Vendor has permission to display any certification mark or logo; and
5. Vendor will immediately notify AllAreHalal if the certification expires, changes, is suspended, is revoked, or is otherwise no longer valid.
Unless AllAreHalal expressly states in writing that AllAreHalal itself independently certifies a specific Vendor or product, AllAreHalal does not independently certify products as halal.
Any “Halal,” “Halal Certified,” “Verified,” or similar designation displayed through the Platform may be based wholly or partly on information or documentation provided by Vendor or a third party.
Vendor remains solely responsible for the accuracy of such representations.
Vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless AllAreHalal from claims arising from inaccurate, false, misleading, expired, invalid, or unauthorized halal representations made by Vendor.
5. ALLERGENS, INGREDIENTS, AND DIETARY INFORMATION
Vendor is solely responsible for accurately identifying and disclosing all ingredients and legally required allergen information relating to Vendor products.
Vendor acknowledges that customers may have severe or life-threatening allergies.
Vendor shall comply with all applicable laws concerning allergen disclosure and shall implement reasonable procedures to prevent cross-contact and cross-contamination.
AllAreHalal does not guarantee that any product is free from allergens, including but not limited to milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, sesame, or any other allergen.
Vendor shall be solely responsible for claims arising from ingredients, allergens, undeclared allergens, cross-contamination, cross-contact, dietary representations, or related matters attributable to Vendor products or operations.
6. LICENSES, PERMITS, AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Vendor represents and warrants that it possesses and will continuously maintain all licenses, permits, registrations, certificates, approvals, inspections, and authorizations required to operate its business and sell its products.
These may include, where applicable:
• business licenses;
• health department permits;
• food establishment permits;
• food handler certifications;

• sales tax registrations;
• alcohol licenses;
• tobacco licenses;
• pharmacy or regulated-product licenses;

• any other legally required authorization.
Vendor shall immediately notify AllAreHalal if any material license, permit, approval, or certification is denied, suspended, expired, revoked, or otherwise restricted.
AllAreHalal may request documentation at any time.
AllAreHalal’s decision to approve or continue a Vendor account does not constitute confirmation that Vendor satisfies all legal requirements.
Vendor remains solely responsible for determining and maintaining its compliance with applicable law.
7. VENDOR INFORMATION AND PRODUCT LISTINGS
Vendor is solely responsible for all information submitted to or displayed through the Platform relating to Vendor.
Vendor shall ensure that all information is accurate, complete, current, and not misleading, including:

AllAreHalal may, but is not obligated to, modify formatting, correct obvious errors, remove content, suspend listings, or request additional information.
AllAreHalal assumes no responsibility for errors supplied by Vendor.
8. PRICING
Vendor is solely responsible for establishing the lawful prices of its products unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing.
Vendor represents that all prices and fees submitted to AllAreHalal comply with applicable law.
Vendor shall be responsible for honoring prices displayed as required by applicable law and for resolving pricing errors attributable to Vendor.
AllAreHalal may charge customers separate Platform, service, delivery, processing, regulatory, small-order, or other fees as permitted by applicable law.
Such fees are separate from Vendor’s product price unless expressly stated otherwise.
9. ORDERS AND ORDER FULFILLMENT
Vendor is responsible for promptly reviewing, accepting, rejecting, preparing, and fulfilling orders transmitted through the Platform.

11. cooperate in resolving customer complaints and order issues.
Vendor is responsible for losses resulting from Vendor’s failure to properly fulfill an order, including missing items, incorrect items, damaged products, expired products, improperly prepared products, unauthorized substitutions, or unreasonable preparation delays.
10. THIRD-PARTY DELIVERY SERVICES
Orders placed through AllAreHalal may be delivered by independent third-party delivery service providers, which may include, without limitation, Uber Direct, DoorDash, or other independent delivery providers selected or integrated by AllAreHalal.
Vendor acknowledges and agrees that these third-party delivery providers are independent entities and are not employees, agents, partners, or joint venturers of AllAreHalal.
Except to the extent required by applicable law, AllAreHalal does not control and shall not be responsible for:
• the acts or omissions of third-party delivery providers;

Vendor acknowledges that use of third-party delivery services may also be subject to separate terms and conditions imposed by the applicable delivery service provider.
Nothing in this Agreement makes AllAreHalal responsible for obligations that belong to an independent third-party delivery service provider.
11. TRANSFER OF ORDERS TO DELIVERY PROVIDERS
Vendor is responsible for ensuring that each order is correctly prepared, packaged, sealed, and ready for transfer to the applicable delivery provider.
Vendor shall verify, to the extent reasonably possible, that the correct order is transferred for delivery.
Vendor is responsible for any defect, contamination, spoilage, incorrect item, missing item, improper packaging, inadequate temperature at the time of pickup, or other condition existing before or at the time the order is transferred to the delivery provider.
The parties acknowledge that responsibility for events occurring during delivery may depend on the applicable circumstances, third-party provider terms, and applicable law.
AllAreHalal does not guarantee that Uber Direct, DoorDash, or any other delivery provider will accept, complete, or successfully deliver any particular delivery request.
12. DELIVERY DELAYS AND PRODUCT CONDITION
Vendor shall package products in a manner reasonably appropriate for the anticipated delivery process.
Vendor acknowledges that delivery times are estimates and may be affected by circumstances outside AllAreHalal’s control.
AllAreHalal does not warrant or guarantee any specific delivery time.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, AllAreHalal shall not be liable for deterioration, temperature changes, loss of freshness, melting, cooling, warming, spillage, breakage, or other changes in product condition occurring as a result of reasonable transportation time or circumstances outside AllAreHalal’s direct control.
This Section does not relieve Vendor from responsibility for improper preparation, packaging, storage, temperature control, or handling occurring before transfer of an order for delivery.
13. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, REFUNDS, CREDITS, AND CHARGEBACKS
AllAreHalal may, in its discretion and subject to applicable policies, issue or facilitate refunds, partial refunds, credits, adjustments, promotional credits, or other remedies to customers.
Where a refund, credit, adjustment, chargeback, or similar loss results from or relates to Vendor’s acts or omissions, AllAreHalal may deduct the applicable amount from:

AllAreHalal may investigate complaints but is not required to independently verify every customer allegation before taking temporary protective measures.
Vendor shall reasonably cooperate with investigations and provide requested documentation.
14. PAYMENTS, COMMISSIONS, FEES, AND SETTLEMENTS
AllAreHalal may collect payments from customers in connection with orders placed through the Platform.

Vendor is responsible for reviewing Vendor statements and reporting suspected errors within fourteen (14) days after the applicable transaction or statement becomes available. Failure to timely report an alleged error may constitute acceptance of the applicable statement to the maximum extent permitted by law.
15. PAYMENT PROCESSORS
Payment processing may be provided by independent third-party payment processors, including Stripe or other providers.
Vendor’s use of payment services may be subject to the applicable payment processor’s separate terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AllAreHalal shall not be responsible for disruptions, holds, freezes, account restrictions, processing failures, or other actions independently taken by a third-party payment processor.
16. TAXES
Vendor is solely responsible for identifying, calculating, reporting, collecting, and remitting all taxes for which Vendor is legally responsible, except where applicable law expressly requires AllAreHalal to collect or remit a tax as a marketplace facilitator or under another legal requirement.

Vendor agrees to reasonably cooperate with AllAreHalal and applicable delivery providers in investigating delivery-related incidents.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as AllAreHalal assuming responsibility for independent third-party delivery providers merely because AllAreHalal technologically facilitates or requests delivery services.
25. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ALLAREHALAL PLATFORM AND RELATED SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”
ALLAREHALAL DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

AllAreHalal may modify fees, commissions, settlement schedules, technical requirements, Vendor policies, and operating procedures by providing notice as required by applicable law or the applicable agreement between the parties.
Vendor’s continued use of the Platform after an effective modification constitutes acceptance where permitted by applicable law.

• suspension or termination is otherwise reasonably necessary to protect the Platform.
AllAreHalal may immediately remove product listings where customer health or safety may be at risk.
Termination does not eliminate Vendor’s obligations arising before termination, including payment, indemnification, refund, chargeback, tax, confidentiality, or liability obligations.
30. RECORDS AND AUDIT COOPERATION

33. CLASS ACTION WAIVER
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VENDOR AND ALLAREHALAL AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

38. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable where legally permissible.
If modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
39. NO WAIVER
Failure by AllAreHalal to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
