Terms & conditions

Terms of service

Welcome to Pinocchio. This page (together with the documents referred to in it) tells you the terms (the “Terms”) which apply when you order any menu items (the "Items") from our pinocchio.ie website (the “Application”).

Please read these Terms carefully before ordering any Items from our Application. If you have any questions relating to these Terms please  contact info@pinocchio.ie before you place an order. If you are a consumer, you have certain legal rights when you order Items using our Application. You can find more information about these rights from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), https://www.ccpc.ie. Your legal rights are not affected by these Terms, which apply in addition to them and do not replace them. By setting up your Pinocchio account, you confirm that you accept these Terms.

1. Information About Us

Pinocchio-Matris Limited is a company incorporated and registered in Ireland, with a registered office at Unit C4 City Link Business Park Old Naas Road, Dublin 12. Our Company registration number is 450507. Our VAT number is IE9679459T. You may contact us at info@pinocchio.ie, by phone on +353 1 460 8800.

2. Purpose

Our objective is to allow you to order Items for collection or delivery (our “Service”) from our Pinocchio Restaurant in Temple Bar. Once you have placed an order, your Items will be delivered to you by our venue in Temple Bar. Equally, for the collection you can come and pick up the food ordered in Pinocchio Restaurant - 1 Pudding Row, Essex Street West, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

3. Your Account

You can place orders for Items using our Application as guest or creating an account. When you open an account you may create a password and may also have to provide credit card details. You must keep any password you create, secret, and prevent others from accessing your account. If another person access your account, you will be responsible to pay for any Items they order, and we are not responsible for any other losses you suffer, unless the person using your password obtained it because we did not keep it secure.

You may close your account at any time by requesting to do so in your account section of our website or contacting us using the contact details above. We may suspend your access to your account, or close it permanently, if we believe that your account has been used by someone else. We may also close your account if in our opinion you are abusing our Service (for example, by applying for refunds or credit to which we do not consider you are entitled, making repeated unreasonable complaints, mistreating our staff, or any other good reason). If we close your account permanently we will refund any remaining account credit you have validly obtained from our customer service team or Application following any issue with an order, by applying a credit to your registered credit card, or if that is not possible for any reason, by way of a bank transfer using bank details (provided you have supplied them to us).

4. Service Availability

Our operating hours:

Monday to Thursday 4pm - 10pm

Friday 4pm - 10:30pm

Saturday 1pm - 10:30pm

Sunday 1pm - 10pm.

For catering service or orders over €200 you can contact us to arrange a different time of delivery.

Our delivery service is done by Deliveroo.

5. Orders

When you place an order through our Application, it needs to be accepted by us before it is confirmed. We will send you a notification if your order has been accepted (the "Confirmation Notice"). The contract for the supply of any Item you have ordered comes into existence when we send the Confirmation Notice. You are responsible for paying for all Items ordered using your account, and for related delivery charges, and for complying with these Terms, even if you have ordered the Item for someone else. All Items are subject to availability. Partner Restaurants may use nuts or other allergens in the preparation of certain Items. If you have an allergy you find displayed the allergens for each Item.

6. Delivery

When you place an order you have to specify date and time of the delivery or collection. For an as soon as possible delivery, contact us by phone before you place the order; you must therefore be available to accept delivery from the time you place the order. For a Scheduled Delivery, we will tell you the time when the Item is expected to be delivered; you must be available to accept delivery for ten minutes before and ten minutes after that time.

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, things do not always go to plan and factors such as traffic and weather conditions may prevent us from delivering your Item on time. If your order is more than 15 minutes late, and we haven’t notified you giving you the option to cancel your order, we will work with you to make things right unless you have caused the delay (e.g. because you gave us the wrong address or did not come to the door).

We will attempt delivery at the address you provide to us when you place your order. If you need to change the delivery location after you have placed your order, we may be able to change to the address to an alternative one that is registered with your account if you let us know before the driver has been dispatched, and the new address is within the same zone as the address you originally ordered your Item to. If we cannot change the delivery address, you have the option to cancel the order, but if food preparation has started you will be charged the full price for the Item, and if the driver has been despatched you will also be charged for delivery.

You will still be charged for the Item and for delivery in the event of a failed delivery if you have caused such failure for any reason. Reasons you might cause a delivery to fail include (but are not limited to):

  • You do not come to the door, did not pick up the phone when the driver contacted you using the contact information you have provided us and/or you picked up the phone but then failed to provide access within a reasonable amount of time, and the driver is unable to find a safe location to leave the food.
  • The driver refuses to deliver the Item to you in accordance with section 8 (Age Restricted Products).

7. Your Rights if Something is Wrong With Your Items

You have a legal right to receive goods which comply with their description, which are of satisfactory quality and which comply with any specific requirements you tell us about (and we agree to) before you place your order. If you believe that the Items you have been delivered do not comply with these legal rights, please let us know. We may request a photograph showing the problem if it is something that can be seen by inspecting the Items. We will provide a refund or account credit in respect of the affected part of the Item, and also in respect of delivery if the whole order was affected, unless we have reasonable cause to believe that the problem was caused after delivery.

Prior to processing your refund or account credit, we may take into account relevant factors including the details of the order, including your account history and what happened on delivery.

8. Age Restricted Products

Age restricted products (including, without limitation, alcohol, tobacco and cigarettes) can only be sold and delivered to persons aged 18 or over. By placing an order for an age restricted product, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. Pinocchio operates the Challenge 25 age verification policy whereby customers who look under aged 25 will be asked by the delivery driver to provide proof that they are aged 18 or over. The driver may refuse to deliver any age restricted product to any person who does not look aged 25 unless they can provide valid photo ID proving that they are aged 18 or over. Pinocchio Restaurant and the delivery driver may refuse to deliver alcohol to any person who is, or appears to be under the influence of either alcohol or drugs. If delivery of any age restricted product is refused, you will still be charged for the relevant Item and for delivery.

9. Cancellation

You may cancel an order without charge at any time before Pinocchio Restaurant has started preparing the food (a "Started Order"). If you wish to cancel an order before it becomes a Started Order, please contact us immediately. If the order was not a Started Order, we will refund your payment (excluding any discount, or Voucher that was applied to the order – see Voucher and Account Credit Terms for more detail). If you cancel any order after it becomes a Started Order, you will be charged the full price for the Items, and if the driver has been despatched you will also be charged for delivery.

In case of order cancelation, the refund is due only if the order is cancelled 30 days before the delivery date of the order.

Pinocchio may notify you that an order has been cancelled at any time. You will not be charged for any orders cancelled by us, and we will reimburse you for any payment already made using the same method you used to pay for your order. We may also apply credit to your account to reflect the inconvenience caused.

10. Prices, Payments and Offers

Prices include VAT. You confirm that you are using our Service for personal, non-commercial use unless you request a VAT invoice. Pinocchio may operate dynamic pricing some of the time, which means that prices of Items and delivery may change while you are browsing. We reserve the right to charge a Service Fee, which may be subject to change, for the provision of our Services. You will be notified of any applicable Service Fee and taxes prior to purchase on the checkout page on our Application. No changes will affect existing confirmed orders, unless there is an obvious pricing mistake. Nor will changes to prices affect any orders in process and appearing within your basket, provided you complete the order within 2 hours of creating the basket. If you do not conclude the order before the 2 hour cut-off the items will be removed from your basket automatically and the price change will apply. If there is an obvious pricing mistake we will notify you as soon as we can and you will have the choice of confirming the order at the original price or cancelling the order without charge and with a full refund of any money already paid. Where Pinocchio make a delivery, we charge you a delivery fee. This will be notified to you during the order process before you complete your order.

The total price of your order will be set out on the checkout page on our Application, including the prices of Items and Delivery and applicable Service Fees and taxes.

Payment for all Items and deliveries can be made on our Application by credit or debit card, or other payment method made available by Pinocchio. Once your order has been confirmed your credit or debit card will be authorised and the total amount marked for payment. Payment is made directly to Pinocchio. Payment may also be made by using vouchers or account credit. Use of these is subject to Pinocchio's Voucher and Account Credit Terms.

In some cases, you can alternatively make your payment in cash directly by paying the driver at the time of delivery. Where cash payment is possible, this will be made clear on our Application before you place your order.

Sometimes we make special offers available through our Application. These offers are at the discretion of Pinocchio. Unless the offer terms state a fixed or minimum period for which an offer will be available, it can be withdrawn at any time, unless you have already placed an order based on the offer and we have sent the Confirmation Notice.

11. Our Responsibility for Loss and Damage That You Suffer

We are responsible to you for any loss or damage that you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or of failing to use reasonable care and skill in relation to your use of our Service. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is “foreseeable” if it is either obvious that it will happen, or if you told us that it might happen, for example if you tell us about particular circumstances that might increase the loss or damage arising from our breach of these Terms before you place an order.

We do not exclude or limit our responsibility to you for loss or damage where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes any  responsibility for death or personal injury caused by our failure, or our employees’, agents’ or subcontractors’ failure, to use reasonable care and skill; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Items, as summarised at part 7 above; or for defective Items under the Consumer Protection Act 2007. Subject to the previous paragraph, we are not responsible for any loss or damage that you suffer as a result of your own breach of these Terms, or as a result of any IT hardware or software failure other than a failure in our Applications.

12. Data Protection

We process your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy which can be found here.

13. Other Terms

If either we or you have any right to enforce these Terms against the other, that right will not be lost even if the person who has the right delays enforcing it, or waives their right to enforce it in any instance. If a court or other authority decides that any part of these Terms is illegal or ineffective, the rest of the terms will be unaffected and will remain in force.

We may change these Terms from time to time. If we make any changes which affect your rights in relation to our Service, we will notify you. Changes to the Terms will not affect any orders you have placed where we have sent the Confirmation Notice. These Terms are governed by the law of Ireland and you can bring legal proceedings in relation to our Service in the Irish courts. We are required by EU law to provide this link to the EU’s online dispute resolution portal, however we do not participate in dispute resolution under this process.

PINOCCHIO VOUCHER AND ACCOUNT CREDIT TERMS

1. Introduction

Pinocchio makes available from time to time: (i) Vouchers (which are promotional credits that may be offered by us on our Site) and (ii) Account Credit (which is credit that may be applied to a customer’s account at Pinocchio’s discretion). Vouchers and Account Credits both operate as credits applying to a customer’s Pinocchio account, redeemable (subject to conditions, as set out below) against the cost of Items. Vouchers and Account Credits are referred to collectively in these terms (the Credit Terms) as Credits.

These Credit Terms apply to your use of any Credits to pay for Items using the Pinocchio Service. These Credit Terms apply together with the Pinocchio Terms and Conditions of Service, which continue to apply unless they conflict with these Credit Terms, in which case these Credit Terms have priority. Capitalised words used in these Credit Terms have the same meanings as in our Terms of Service unless they are defined in these Credit Terms.

You can “apply” a voucher to your account by (i) entering the Voucher code (if any) at the point you place an order, or (ii) by adding any reward that we make available to you in the “Your offers and rewards” section of your account page. Unless otherwise stated, a voucher that has been applied to your account will remain there until it is “redeemed” against an eligible order, or expires (whichever is sooner). Account Credits are Credits that we apply to your account ourselves. In either case, once any Credit has been applied to your account, the amount of the Credit remains on your account until redeemed as payment for Items, unless it is lost, or, in the case of Vouchers, it expires in accordance with the terms of that Voucher. The reasons why Credits may be lost or Vouchers may expire are set out in these Credit Terms.

2. Terms that apply to Vouchers only

Vouchers are usually offered subject to conditions, such as time limits, geographic limits, limits to particular categories of customer (eg new customers), or use for a particular menu item. If conditions apply they will be stated when we offer the Voucher.

Some Vouchers are only available to new Pinocchio customers ("New Customer Vouchers"). That means that the Voucher is applied (subject to any other applicable conditions) automatically when the Customer registers a new Pinocchio account and will be redeemed when the Customer places their first eligible order. Pinocchio reserves the right to refuse to apply and/or allow you to redeem a new customer Voucher if you are registering a new account using credit card details or a delivery name and address already on our system.

Use of a Voucher in payment or part-payment may also be subject to specific conditions applicable to that Voucher only, such as a specific minimum order value or on specific Items. If the order placed does not comply with the applicable conditions, the Credit may not be redeemed against that order. The payment page on our Site where you confirm your order for Items will show the total order value and the applicable Voucher, if any. If there is a Voucher credit on your account which does not apply to your order, it will not appear on the payment page. At that point you will have the choice of paying in another way or cancelling the order.

Unless we tell you otherwise, all Vouchers must be redeemed within one calendar month of the date they are applied.

Only one Voucher can be redeemed per order. Each Voucher can only be used once per customer. If you have more than one eligible Voucher applied to your account when you place an order, the Vouchers are redeemed in order of expiry date, with the Voucher expiring the earliest redeemed first.

Vouchers cannot be redeemed in conjunction with any other Pinocchio offer.

If you cancel an order made using a Voucher, the Voucher credit will not be restored to the account and the Voucher cannot be re-used. If the Voucher was a New Customer Voucher, you will no longer be a new customer and will not be eligible for any subsequent new customer Vouchers.

3. Terms that apply to Vouchers and Account Credit

Item orders are generally subject to minimum order values, which continue to apply regardless of whether payment or part-payment is by way of a Credit.

Credits cannot be exchanged for cash or any other alternatives and have no monetary value.

Any attempt to manipulate our Site and our offers of Credits by use of bulk entry via third parties or syndicates, macros, ‘script’, ‘brute force’, masking identity by manipulating IP addresses, using identities other than their own or any other automated means (including systems which can be programmed to enter), will render the order and the relevant Credit invalid. Pinocchio is entitled to take all reasonable steps to protect itself against fraudulent or invalid Credit redemptions, including requiring additional reasonable verification close the accounts of any customers it reasonably believes have carried out any such acts.
