1. Drivers are under no obligation to accept jobs. DeliveryApp promotes fairness and equality to all Drivers. DeliveryApp is free to use and Drivers should only accept jobs they are able to fulfil. Behaviour such as ‘job hoarding’, where Drivers accept job requests they are not able to fulfil and then cancelling them before the Driver Services are to be undertaken, prevents Drivers with genuine availability from accepting jobs. Job hoarding severely impacts DeliveryApps’ Customers. This behaviour is monitored and is deemed a misuse of the Platform and a material breach of the Driver Terms and Conditions and Fair Use Policy. We reserve the right to investigate any Drivers suspected of abusing this policy and take any necessary action, which may result in removal from the Platform.
2. Once a Driver has accepted a Job Request, they should only click ‘Cancel Job’ via the Platform if they are prevented from completing it by events outside of their control. Drivers must click ‘Cancel Job’ as soon as they know they are unavailable. This behaviour is monitored and we reserve the right to investigate any Drivers suspected of abusing this Policy and take any necessary action, including removal from the Platform.
3. Abuse of the above Policies, severely impacts other Drivers who are genuinely able to accept work and also affects the Customer and DeliveryApp’s reputation and provision of services.
