Last Updated: August 11, 2026
Welcome to GroceNow.
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the GroceNow website, mobile application, delivery services, and related services (“Services”).
By creating an account, placing an order, or otherwise using GroceNow, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use GroceNow.
1. About GroceNow
GroceNow is an online grocery shopping and delivery platform that enables customers to browse products, place orders, make payments using available payment methods, and request delivery to supported locations.
Products offered through GroceNow may be supplied directly by GroceNow or by participating stores, supermarkets, merchants, and other vendors.
2. User Accounts
Some GroceNow services may require you to create an account.
When creating or using an account, you agree to:
- Provide accurate and current information.
- Provide a valid phone number and/or email address when required.
- Keep your login credentials secure.
- Not allow unauthorized persons to access your account.
- Notify GroceNow if you believe your account has been compromised.
- Keep your delivery and contact information updated.
You are responsible for activities carried out through your account unless otherwise required by applicable law.
GroceNow reserves the right to suspend or restrict accounts involved in fraud, abuse, unauthorized activity, or serious violations of these Terms.
3. Orders
When you place an order through GroceNow, you are requesting to purchase the selected products and have them prepared for pickup or delivered where applicable.
Orders are subject to:
- Product availability.
- Merchant acceptance where applicable.
- Successful payment or confirmation of the selected payment method.
- Delivery availability.
- Verification of your delivery information.
Submitting an order does not necessarily guarantee that every requested product will be available.
If a product becomes unavailable, GroceNow or the relevant merchant may contact you regarding a replacement, adjustment, or refund where appropriate.
4. Product Availability
GroceNow makes reasonable efforts to display current product availability.
However, grocery inventory can change quickly. A product shown as available may become unavailable before an order is prepared.
Where an item is unavailable, depending on the service and your preferences, we may:
- Remove the unavailable item from the order.
- Offer a suitable replacement.
- Contact you for instructions.
- Adjust the final amount.
- Issue an applicable refund.
We will not intentionally substitute a materially different product without appropriate authorization where customer approval is required.
5. Product Information
We aim to provide accurate product names, descriptions, images, sizes, quantities, and other information.
However, product images may be illustrative, and packaging, appearance, ingredients, size, or branding may occasionally change.
For products involving allergies, dietary restrictions, or other important health considerations, customers should verify the information displayed on the actual product packaging before consumption.
6. Prices
Product prices are displayed through GroceNow before checkout.
Prices may change from time to time because of supplier prices, merchant updates, promotions, taxes, market conditions, or other business factors.
Where applicable, your total may include:
- Product costs.
- Delivery fees.
- Service charges.
- Taxes.
- Other charges clearly disclosed before completing the order.
The final payable amount will be displayed or otherwise communicated during checkout, subject to adjustments for substitutions, unavailable items, or other changes accepted by the customer.
7. Pricing Errors
Although we try to ensure prices are accurate, technical or human errors may occasionally occur.
If an obvious pricing error is identified before fulfillment, GroceNow may contact the customer to confirm the correct price or cancel the affected item or order.
Where payment has already been collected for an item that cannot be fulfilled because of a confirmed pricing error, an appropriate refund will be processed.
8. Payments
GroceNow may support one or more payment methods, depending on availability.
These may include:
- Mobile money.
- Debit or credit cards.
- Cash on delivery, where available.
- Digital payment services.
- Other approved payment methods.
Customers are responsible for providing valid payment information and ensuring they are authorized to use the selected payment method.
Payments processed by third-party payment providers may also be subject to those providers' terms and conditions.
9. Delivery
GroceNow provides delivery only within supported service areas.
Customers are responsible for providing an accurate delivery address and sufficient information to enable successful delivery.
This may include:
- Correct location/address.
- Valid telephone number.
- Building, apartment, floor, or unit information where applicable.
- Nearby landmarks where useful.
- Relevant delivery instructions.
Incorrect or incomplete information may result in delays or failed delivery.

11. Receiving Your Order
Customers should make reasonable arrangements to receive their order at the selected delivery location.
Our delivery partner may contact you using the telephone number associated with your order.
If we cannot reach you or safely access the delivery location, delivery may be delayed or considered unsuccessful.
Additional delivery charges may apply to a new delivery attempt where the failed delivery resulted from incorrect information or the customer's unavailability, subject to applicable law.
12. Cancellations
Customers may be able to cancel an order before preparation or fulfillment has reached a certain stage.
Once an order has been prepared, dispatched, or assigned for delivery, cancellation may be restricted.
Any cancellation charges or eligibility for refunds will be determined according to the GroceNow Cancellation Policy and applicable law.
GroceNow may also cancel an order where:
- Products are unavailable.
- Payment cannot be confirmed.
- The delivery address cannot reasonably be serviced.
- Fraud or suspicious activity is detected.
- The merchant cannot fulfill the order.
- A serious technical or pricing error occurs.
Where GroceNow cancels an eligible prepaid order, the appropriate amount will be refunded according to our Refund Policy.
13. Refunds
Refund eligibility depends on the circumstances surrounding the order.
A customer may be eligible for a full or partial refund in situations such as:
- A paid product was not delivered.
- An incorrect product was delivered.
- A product arrived materially damaged.
- An item was unavailable after payment.
- An eligible order was cancelled.
- Another verified fulfillment error occurred.

Bank, card, or mobile-money processing times may affect when the refunded amount appears in the customer's account.
