4. Delivery

The “Dakoo Web Dashboard” will be made available to the Merchant to access on-demand logistic services by Delivery Partners.

Dakoo will not have any obligation to deliver the Item(s) as a platform provider. For purposes of delivery of the Items, Dakoo and the Delivery Partners shall operate (i) under cover of any approval, license or permission required to operate your business at the Merchant Outlet and sell the Item(s) and (ii) under your control, as your agent (including but not limited to receipt agent of Item charges and based on your instructions, if applicable, apply the Item charges collected on your behalf towards disbursal of the fee payable by you to Delivery Partner), and not employee.

Community Guidelines

Community Guidelines

We’re passionate about ensuring cities are accessible to everyone, everywhere. During COVID-19, our mission resonated louder and clearer. At Dakoo, we are committed to ensuring you have access to essentials, without leaving your house. We understand that you might have questions about how we’re navigating the COVID-19 epidemic. At Dakoo, we’re doing our best to ensure that we’re following all preventive measures, and your safety and wellbeing is prioritized, always.

For everyone in our community

The World Health Organisation recommends we all remember the ‘Five’

  1. HANDS Wash them often
  2. ELBOW Cough into it
  3. FACE Don’t touch it
  4. FEET Stay more than 3 feet apart
  5. FEEL sick or unwell? Stay home

Please follow guidelines prescribed by WHO, Central Government, and local authorities. We can overcome this, but only if we do it together.

In light of COVID-19, we would like to take this time to put forth community guidelines for our users.

For our users

  • Dakoo Services during COVID-19: During the containment of the COVID-19 virus, Dakoo Partners will only deliver essential items as categorized by the local authorities. Essential products like medicines must be made through the “medicine” category and with a valid prescription only. Under no circumstances, will your partner deliver any non-essential items or habit-forming substances like cigarettes or tobacco. Please refrain from asking your partner to purchase something outside of the app.
  • Responsible Use of Dakoo Services: You must use Dakoo Services responsibly and in compliance with the law. Please ensure that you handover to the Dakoo Partners only essential items/products that can be transported under the prevailing guidelines issued by central, state and local authorities. Your Partner can refuse to complete an order, if they feel otherwise, or can contact local authorities if they wish to. Note, if you misuse the platform, your partner can run into trouble as well. You must use the service responsibly.
  • Introducing No Contact Delivery: In order to limit contact, No Contact Delivery has been introduced. Please let your partner know via the in-app chat, or over a phone call to leave your order at a mutually decided spot. If you or a family member is unwell, please do opt for the no-contact delivery. Pro Tip: Leave a bag or a box at the door for your partner to drop your items off.
  • Item Restriction: Hygiene and essential items like sanitizers or groceries might be limited in number currently. Please be respectful and avoid hoarding of items, to ensure resources are adequately distributed amongst the community.
  • Tipping: Your Dakoo partner is going the extra mile so that you can stay safe indoors. We have introduced Tipping, whereby you can show appreciation to your partner for being there for you. 100% of your tip will be provided to your Partner
  • Be Respectful: Your Dakoo partners are doing their best to ensure you get your item delivered on time. Treat your partners the way you would like to be treated. Please be respectful, and know they’re doing their best so that you can stay indoors and be safe
  • An inclusive Community: At Dakoo, we celebrate inclusion and diversity amongst our large community of users, partners, merchants, and employees. Remember, when you use Dakoo, you might interact with people who look or think differently from you. Promoting a respectful community is one of our key values and we do not support any form of discrimination, among our large community of users, partners, merchants and employees.

For your Partners

  • Containing Community Spread: All your partners are aware and following recommended preventive measures to ensure you and our community can stay safe.
  • Insurance: All Dakoo Partners are now COVID insured. If a partner does contract the virus, their account will be automatically placed on hold until they recover. They will be compensated for their time to recover through the insurance.
  • COVID Partner relief Fund: We have set up a partner relief fund for our Partners and their families to overcome this difficult period. This time, we’re urging our community to deliver for the partners. Every little bit helps and will go a long way in ensuring your partners know we all have their back. Please do contribute here.
  • Social Distancing at Stores: A tech solution to queue orders enables the Partners to keep a safe distance at stores and avoid overcrowding while ensuring orders are also fulfilled. Your partner will be standing in line and waiting his/her turn patiently. You must be patient as well.
  • Remote Onboarding: If you wish to sign up during this time to serve your city as a Dakoo Partner, by ensuring essentials reach those who need it the most, please sign up here. You can be onboarded through our remote onboarding facility.
