You understand that DishPal’s technology and services facilitate these transactions in certain jurisdictions only and that DishPal is not a Vendor or Courier nor is DishPal responsible for fulfilling orders placed by Customers with Vendors or Couriers.

DishPal is not and does not become a party to or other participant in any contractual relationship between Users.
2.3. The DishPal Platform and/or specific services may not be available at all or any times and in all or any jurisdictions.

The value of DishPal Credit including credit from Gift Cards applied to your DishPal Account is referred to as your "DishPal Credit Balance". When you apply a Gift Card to your DishPal Customer Account, your DishPal Credit Balance will be credited by the dollar value of the Gift Card, and the value associated with the Claim Code will be reduced to zero. From time to time, DishPal may also issue DishPal Credit to you for other purposes (for example, to refund a purchase that you have made). Your DishPal Credit Balance includes the total remaining balance of all DishPal Credit that has been applied to your DishPal Account by way of Gift Card or otherwise, but not yet applied to a purchase. To check your DishPal Credit Balance, log in to your DishPal Account.

Any unused DishPal Credit Balance will remain associated with your DishPal Customer Account. If the cost of an Order exceeds your DishPal Credit Balance, the remaining amount must be paid with another payment method.
