General Terms of Use

KOOUL Platform — Applicable to Clients, Vendors, and Delivery Persons

Preamble

The company ORA TECHNOLOGIES, a simplified joint-stock company (société par actions simplifiée) with a share capital of (6 231 420,00 MAD), whose registered office is located at 265, Boulevard Zerktouni, Casablanca, Morocco, registered with the Casablanca Trade Register under number 570131 (hereinafter: "ORA Technologies"), has designed and operates a food and meal delivery platform (hereinafter: the "Platform" or "KOOUL").

KOOUL allows natural persons with full legal capacity, as well as legal entities (hereinafter: the "Client(s)"):

  • to offer meals and all types of food (hereinafter: the "Product(s)") when they are professional restaurateurs (hereinafter: the "Vendor(s)") registered and/or subscribed to the Platform;
  • to access Sales Offers from registered professional Vendors via dedicated Vendor Spaces (hereinafter: the "Sales Offers");
  • to enable delivery of the Products by delivery persons registered on the Platform (hereinafter: the "Delivery Person(s)") once collected from the location indicated by the Client.

Clients, Vendors, and Delivery Persons will hereinafter be referred to individually as a "User" and collectively as the "Users".

Users expressly acknowledge that these General Terms fulfill the validity and enforceability conditions of a contract established, transmitted, and stored in electronic form. The probative force of this document in electronic form is expressly recognized — including in the event of a dispute relating to the validity, formation, interpretation, performance, termination, or nullity of these General Terms or any services provided by the Platform. Users also expressly agree to the use of electronic means for exchanging information related to Platform content and services.

Article 1 – Scope and Modification of the Terms of Use

1.1 Scope

These General Terms of Use (hereinafter: the "Terms") define:

  • the terms of use of the Platform by Clients;
  • the terms of use of the Platform by Vendors, in addition to the Vendor's Special Terms;
  • the terms of use of the Platform by Delivery Persons.

These Terms do not govern the after-sales service of Products. The Platform expressly excludes any liability in this regard. The Vendor is solely responsible for the quality and compliance of the Products sold.

1.2 Status of KOOUL

Clients purchase Products directly from Vendors through the Platform (hereinafter: the "Vendor Space"). KOOUL is thus a marketplace which:

  • as a service provider, makes the Platform available to Users to connect them; and
  • serves as a commercial showcase, allowing Vendors to list and present their Products for sale.

KOOUL does not sell the Vendors' Products itself. It is not a party to the sales relationship between Vendors and Clients and cannot be held liable for its performance or non-performance. That responsibility lies exclusively with the Vendors. KOOUL simply provides the marketplace and collects payments on behalf of the Vendors.

KOOUL lists Vendors' Products but does not control their compliance, quality, or hygiene. KOOUL will never be considered a manufacturer or supplier of the Products offered and is not obligated to proactively detect non-compliant content. It will, however, implement procedures to receive and diligently handle any justified report or complaint from a Client or third party.

KOOUL does not guarantee any commercial result from the use of the Platform.

As the main payment agent operating under the authority and on behalf of M2T (a payment institution authorized by Bank Al Maghrib), KOOUL provides access to wallet payment accounts managed by M2T. KOOUL does not operate the wallets directly and remains subject to the instructions and guidelines of M2T.

1.3 Modification of the Terms of Use

KOOUL reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. The applicable Terms are those in effect at the date of connection to the Platform that led to the Client's purchase of a Product. KOOUL commits to notifying Users of any modification to the Terms, and Users must accept the updated Terms before continuing to use the Platform.

Article 3 – Description of Services

3.1 Services for Clients

3.1.1 Map Browsing and Vendor Discovery

The Platform provides a smooth and intuitive user experience. The map feature allows Clients to view the location of available Vendors and select those closest to them. Clients can browse through the different categories of Products available on www.kooul.ma.

3.1.2 Food Selection and Ordering

The Platform features a variety of restaurants and food delivery services. Clients can browse menus, read reviews, and place orders for delivery or pickup.

3.2 Services for Vendors

3.2.1 Vendor Space

Sales Offers become visible once the Vendor is active on the Platform. They are accessible via a dedicated Vendor page ("Vendor Space") administered by the Vendor.

KOOUL showcases the Vendor's Products, which can be selected and ordered by Clients. The Vendor is solely responsible for the content and accuracy of their Sales Offers. KOOUL does not sell Products directly.

Each Sales Offer includes a description created by the Vendor, who is solely responsible for its accuracy, regulatory compliance, and completeness. Sales Offers are considered valid as long as they appear in the Vendor Space.

If any Product becomes unavailable, the Vendor must inform the Client as soon as possible and must not charge the Client for unavailable items.

Vendors expressly acknowledge that the Vendor Space does not constitute a separate clientele or commercial asset. KOOUL shall not be held liable for any compensation in case of account closure or Vendor Space deactivation in accordance with these Terms.

3.3 Services for Delivery Persons

Once logged in, the Delivery Person must accept orders in accordance with the KOOUL team's instructions and prevailing delivery flow conditions. Flexibility is maintained where operationally appropriate.

The Delivery Person acknowledges that accepting a delivery task creates a direct business relationship between the Client and the Delivery Person.

The Delivery Person commits to providing a high-quality delivery service that meets the Client's expectations, including respecting delivery times and ensuring the safety and integrity of transported goods.

As an independent service provider, the Delivery Person is solely responsible for their service outcomes, including:

  • order cancellations;
  • delivery failures or delays;
  • product damage, loss, or destruction during transport.

For food transportation, the Delivery Person agrees to use appropriate containers and comply with applicable hygiene regulations. The Delivery Person agrees not to engage in any illegal activity or conduct that could damage the reputation of the Platform.

Delivery fees are determined as follows:

  • Up to 1 km: 8 MAD
  • 2–3 km: 12 MAD
  • 4 km and above: 15 MAD

KOOUL reserves the right to apply dynamic delivery pricing at its sole discretion.

If payment is made in cash, the Delivery Person must transfer the collected amount to the KOOUL wallet. If payment is made online, KOOUL will transfer the delivery fee to the Delivery Person's wallet.

3.4 Wallet Account Requirement

Vendors and Delivery Persons must create an ORA Cash Powered by M2T wallet payment account when opening a KOOUL account.

The wallet is managed by M2T, with KOOUL acting as the main payment agent on behalf of M2T (a payment institution licensed by Bank Al Maghrib). KOOUL follows M2T's instructions and policies.

Opening, managing, using, and closing wallet accounts is governed by the ORA Cash Powered by M2T terms and any applicable agreements proposed by M2T.

Article 4 – Ordering Products

4.1 Placing an Order

The Client purchases Products directly from the Vendor through the Vendor Space on the Platform. When placing an order, the Client must provide a valid delivery address. A mobile phone number is mandatory for profile creation.

4.2 Delivery

Delivery of Products is performed by:

  • delivery persons appointed by the Vendor; or, if unavailable,
  • Delivery Persons registered on the Platform.

If delivery is made by the Vendor's own delivery personnel, the delivery is handled according to the terms and timeframe specified by the Vendor. In such cases, the present Terms do not apply to that delivery, and:

  • KOOUL is not responsible for delivering the Products;
  • the Vendor is solely responsible for the delivery, communication with the Client, and the payment process.

If delivery is performed by a Delivery Person registered on the Platform, these General Terms apply in full.

KOOUL provides Delivery Persons with a messaging interface to communicate with Clients after accepting an order. Once an order is accepted, the Delivery Person can view the Client's contact details relevant to the order. This information must be used solely for the purpose of fulfilling the delivery. Any misuse of a Client's personal information will result in immediate removal from the Platform.

At the time of delivery, Clients are encouraged to check the contents and conformity of their order.

4.3 Rating System

KOOUL provides a rating and review system to increase trust between buyers and sellers on the Platform. Users agree to provide honest and fair evaluations in accordance with applicable laws and best practices.

Article 5 – Price and Payment of Orders

5.1 Prices

The sale price of each Product is set by the respective Vendor, who is responsible for keeping it up to date. The invoiced price is the price displayed in Moroccan Dirhams (MAD), inclusive of all applicable taxes, as shown in the Sales Offer at the time of the order.

Any applicable delivery and transport costs are added to the Product price and displayed in the order summary before the Client confirms the order.

KOOUL shall not be held liable for incorrect prices provided by Vendors or Delivery Persons. Vendors are solely responsible for declaring and paying the corresponding taxes (including VAT) to the relevant authorities.

5.2 Payment

The Client pays for the order either in cash upon delivery or online via a secure payment platform. To complete an order, the Client selects one of the payment methods offered by KOOUL on the payment page.

In case of payment by bank card, the terms related to the fraudulent use of the payment method — as defined in the agreements between the Client, the card issuer, and KOOUL's banking partner — shall apply.

Article 6 – Liability

6.1 Liability of KOOUL

These Terms govern the registration, access, and use of the Platform by Users. They do not govern the sale of Products, which is exclusively managed between the Vendor and the Client.

KOOUL does not create or validate Sales Offers, does not intervene in the conclusion of sales, and is not a party to contracts formed between Vendors and Clients. KOOUL therefore cannot be held responsible for the consequences of such offers or contracts.

If KOOUL receives a complaint from a client, it will forward it to the relevant Vendor, who is solely responsible for handling it. KOOUL may offer reasonable support to facilitate an amicable resolution.

KOOUL shall not be liable for input errors made by the Client (e.g., incorrect delivery address), nor for any resulting delays or errors — particularly when delivery is carried out by the Vendor's own staff.

KOOUL strives to provide uninterrupted access to the Platform. However, access may be temporarily suspended due to maintenance, upgrades, or electronic communications issues, for which KOOUL shall not be held liable.

6.2 Liability of Users

While accessing, browsing, or using the Platform, Users must not perform any illegal action or action that could harm public order, KOOUL, or third parties. Vendors specifically commit to complying with food safety and hygiene regulations at all times.

Users agree, without limitation, to:

  • not use a false identity or impersonate others;
  • not violate applicable laws, third-party rights, or these Terms;
  • not infringe upon intellectual property rights related to KOOUL or third-party content;
  • not upload or share content that is defamatory, abusive, obscene, violent, political, racist, or otherwise illegal;
  • not use the Platform to send spam or unsolicited messages;
  • not collect or misuse personal data of other Users for commercial, promotional, or surveillance purposes.

In the event of a violation of these obligations, KOOUL may suspend or terminate the User's account, delete content, and take appropriate remedial action without compensation.

Unless a proven fault is committed by KOOUL, it shall not be held liable for any direct or indirect damage, including losses related to system intrusion, malware, equipment failures, or downloading of content via the Platform.

6.3 Indemnification

Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless KOOUL, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or legal costs arising from a violation of these Terms or negligent or wrongful conduct on the part of the User.

Notwithstanding the above, if one of the parties breaches any of its obligations under the Terms and fails to remedy it within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a formal notice sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of receipt, the other party may terminate the Terms by right, without prejudice to any damages that may be claimed.
