Last updated on June 2025
By means of these general terms and conditions of use and legal information (hereinafter, the “Terms and Conditions for Partners”), Glovoapp 23, S.A. (hereinafter, “GLOVO”) makes the website, with the domain www.glovoapp.com, and the Glovo mobile app (hereinafter, jointly, the APP) available to Partners (hereinafter, the “PARTNER” or the “PARTNERS”). These General Terms and Conditions for Partners apply to each PARTNER’s use of the Platform as well as to all its related sites or sites linked to by GLOVO from www.glovoapp.com (hereinafter, collectively, the “site”). The site belongs to GLOVO. By using the site, you agree to these terms and conditions of use. If you do not agree, please refrain from using it.
For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions for Partners, the following capitalised terms shall have the meanings given to them below:
- Marketplace Services: Technology intermediation for the purpose of making available the products and/or services offered by the PARTNER through the GLOVO APP and their delivery to GLOVO APP users through its own fleet of couriers in the territory where GLOVO is present. Creation of the store profile in the APP, visibility to the millions of users of the APP, sales generation, payment gateway, access to sales reporting and the PARTNER’s operational data, facilitation of business growth.
- MANDATARY Intermediation Services: Technology intermediation for the purpose of making the products and/or services offered by the PARTNER available through the GLOVO APP and delivering them to GLOVO APP users through the independent couriers and/or independent companies who provide their services through the GLOVO APP (“MANDATARY” or “MANDATARIES”).
1. OBJECT
1.1. The common aim of these Terms and Conditions for Partners is to make the products and/or services offered by the PARTNER available through the APP. Through the APP, GLOVO: (a) facilitates the creation of the store profile in the APP (b) provides technology intermediation in the generation of leads and processing of payments and other services relating to in-store sales and the delivery of products throughout the MANDATARIES; and (c) handles incidents arising in relation to orders. The PARTNER shall be the physical “retailer”, “supplier” or “seller” of all the products and, in the case of Marketplace Services, it shall also be in charge of the delivery services relating to such products. The PARTNER may have various establishments or stores (hereinafter, the “AFFILIATES”), whose details must be provided to GLOVO in advance in order for them to be activated and enabled on the APP. In addition, the PARTNER may have franchisees who, in order to comply with these Terms and Conditions for Partners, must sign the “Franchisee Accession Form” provided in Annex I.
1.2. In relation to PARTNERS who only use the Marketplace Services, GLOVO:
- Will not be responsible in any event for the delivery services provided by the PARTNER with its own fleet of couriers, or for the cost of training, insurance, equipment, contracts, labour or tax obligations or any other responsibility of any kind that may be related to, or that may arise from, such fleet, and all such responsibility shall be fully assumed by the PARTNER.
- Will act as a payment collection agent appointed by the PARTNER, for the sole purpose of accepting payments on the PARTNER’s behalf through the payment processing feature provided on the APP by an external provider. The PARTNER agrees that payments made to GLOVO (or to an affiliate of GLOVO acting as GLOVO’s agent) shall be considered equivalent to payments made directly to the PARTNER. May appoint the PARTNER as a payment collection agent of the Service Fee (as defined below) directly charged by Glovo to Users in those territories where cash is accepted.
1.3. In relation to PARTNERS who use the Intermediation Services for MANDATARIES, GLOVO shall, through the APP:
- Allow companies such as the PARTNER to connect with MANDATARIES (as described in the GLOVO APP General Terms of Use). It may choose to pay the price of the products in cash at the PARTNER’s store through the MANDATARIES that collect the products. This must be reflected in the relevant invoices and will have no impact on the calculation of the payment for the use of the APP described in Clause 3.1 below.
Each party shall be responsible only for its own employees in connection with the performance of these Terms and Conditions for Partners and with the fulfilment of its own obligations hereunder.
The relationship arising from these Terms and Conditions for Partners is strictly a business relationship between independent parties, who agree to present themselves to the market as independent operators at all times, avoiding any confusion between the services provided by each of them. Both Parties agree to work together in good faith on certain collaboration-based projects.
2. TERM AND DURATION OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
2.1. The PARTNER undertakes to keep its profile enabled on the APP during the hours stated to GLOVO for TWENTY-FOUR (24) months (“Initial Period”) from the date of acceptance of these Terms and Conditions for Partners, which shall be extended indefinitely for successive periods of the same length.
2.2. If either party wishes to terminate the relationship, it must give the other party at least SIXTY (60) days’ written notice of termination. If the PARTNER fails to give the above-mentioned amount of notice, GLOVO shall charge the PARTNER an additional TEN PERCENT (10%) of the total amount of the transactions carried out through the APP for the last THREE (3) MONTHS, and it reserves the right to disable the PARTNER’s profile on the website made available by GLOVO (“Vendor or Manager Portal”).
Similarly, breach of any of the obligations set forth in these Terms and Conditions for Partners shall constitute grounds for termination of the relationship unless such breach is rectified within FIFTEEN (15) days following the notification of such breach by the affected non-breaching party, and non-payment by the PARTNER, for two consecutive months, of the fees accrued in GLOVO’s favour pursuant to these Terms and Conditions for Partners shall also constitute grounds for termination of the relationship. GLOVO also reserves the right to restrict, suspend, delete, at any time and for an indefinite period, the PARTNER's products and/or services, and or PARTNERS’ profile on the APP. GLOVO will communicate said decision to the PARTNER fifteen (15) days prior to the final deletion of its profile, together with an explanation of the facts and circumstances that justify it. Unless it obeys to a legal or regulatory obligation applicable to GLOVO, as well as by the PARTNER's repeated breach of these "Terms and Conditions", GLOVO shall not be obliged to respect the aforementioned notice.
2.3. If GLOVO wishes to amend/remove a clause or include an additional clause, it must inform the PARTNER in writing by e-mail or through the WebApp or Manager Portal of the amendment at least FIFTEEN (15) calendar days before the date on which it wishes the amendment/removal/inclusion to be included. In the case that the said period expires without the PARTNER having expressed its opposition, the content of the notified modification / deletion / inclusion will be binding on both parties and will remain in force for the duration of the relationship. The continued access or use of the APP by the PARTNER after the entry into force of the modification / deletion / inclusion will be considered as acceptance of the same by the PARTNER.
3. FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
3.1. Payment for the use of the APP and for part of the delivery service provided by the MANDATARIES, if such service has been agreed by the Parties, shall be calculated based on the agreed percentage (%) + VAT (if applicable), based on the gross sales (products/services + applicable taxes) of products and/or services obtained by the PARTNER as a result of its visibility on the GLOVO APP (hereinafter, the “Contracted Services Fee”). The Parties declare that the percentage for the calculation of the Contracted Services Fee has been freely agreed, on good faith and taking into consideration the conditions and needs of both Parties.
In addition, if applicable, the PARTNER shall pay the price for the delivery and cash collection services provided by the MANDATARY. In such a case, the PARTNER shall be invoiced for such services directly by the MANDATARY or, in case of express agreement of the Parties, re-invoiced by GLOVO.
The Contracted Services Fee for Marketplace Services shall be calculated: (i) deducting the GLOVO’s own offers; (ii) without deducting customer refunds; and (iii) regardless of whether they are successfully delivered.
In addition, GLOVO will charge the PARTNER a Payment Processing Fee for the service provided by GLOVO of processing payments on behalf of the PARTNER through the corresponding payment processing feature (hereinafter, the “Payment Processing Fee”). The Payment Processing Fee shall be calculated as a percentage of up to 1.5 % + VAT, based on the amounts processed by GLOVO when paid by the users for the products and/or services offered by the PARTNER in the APP.
The PARTNER acknowledges that GLOVO charges users a Service Fee for the use of the Platform in order to continuously improve GLOVO’s overall services, providing them with a wider selection of vendors and continuously improving users’ experience, among others (hereinafter, the “Service Fee”).
In relation to the above, and for PARTNERS who use Marketplace Services only, in those territories where cash is accepted, the PARTNER agrees that the amount of cash collected by the PARTNER's own fleet of couriers related to the Service Fee, while using the Platform, will be added to the Contracted Services Fee that the PARTNER pays for the use of said Marketplace Services. Both amounts will be paid to GLOVO.
3.2. The PARTNER: a) designates GLOVO as its payment collection agent for the sole purpose of accepting payments on the PARTNER’s behalf through the payment processing feature provided by a third-party provider on the APP; and b) agrees that payment to GLOVO (or to an affiliate of GLOVO acting as the latter’s agent) shall be considered equivalent to payment made directly to the PARTNER. Under no circumstances will GLOVO act as an intermediary, or be responsible, for any transactions paid in cash.
3.3. The gross sales of the products and/or services offered by the PARTNER and paid in cash shall be paid by the PARTNER to GLOVO within SEVEN (7) calendar days immediately after their accrual. Delay in payment shall give rise to a penalty equivalent to the legal interest rate applicable to the territory at the time of the breach of contract.
3.4. GLOVO reserves the right to offset, charge or recover directly from the balances held by GLOVO in the PARTNER’s name all those amounts owed to it by the PARTNER that have not been paid within THIRTY (30) calendar days from their date of accrual.
3.5. GLOVO shall pay the PARTNER for all the sales generated through the APP, minus the Contracted Services Fee and any amounts owed by the PARTNER either directly or indirectly in connection with the use of the APP (hereinafter, the “Amount Payable”) as provided below: i) For the total amount of sales generated minus refunds or any other penalties, from the 1st to the 15th of each month inclusive, GLOVO shall pay the Amount Payable within a maximum of three (3) business days from the 5th of the following month; and ii) For the total amount of sales generated minus refunds from the 16th to the last day of the month inclusive, GLOVO shall pay the Amount Payable within a maximum of three (3) business days from the 20th of the following month.
However, in the event that the PARTNER wishes to receive the payments from the sales generated through the APP (minus the Contracted Services Fee, refunds, penalties and pending invoices) ahead of the standard payment (hereinafter “Advanced Payout”), the PARTNER acknowledges and accepts that it will be charged with a payment fee (“Payment Fee”), determined in the Manager Portal, prior to its acceptance. This Payment Fee is applied on top of the Contracted Services Fee already agreed. At any time the PARTNER may unsubscribe from the Advanced Payout directly from the Vendor or Manager Portal. The PARTNER acknowledges that if GLOVO considers that there is a risk of fraud (i.e. creation of fake orders) it may deactivate the Advanced Payout to the PARTNER without prior notice. The PARTNER acknowledges that it will not receive the Advanced Payout if it is in a negative balance (pending invoices towards GLOVO).
3.6. GLOVO may charge the PARTNER a fee (“Prime Order Fee”) in order to give access to a dedicated group of users who demonstrate a high demand and order frequency through GLOVO APP and to conduct specific promotions for those users (“Prime Users”).
Prime Order Fee is a fixed amount up to 1,200UGX per order charged to the PARTNER. This Prime Order Fee will be clearly detailed and reflected in the final invoice according to clause 3.5 of the Terms and Conditions for Partners. By processing and fulfilling orders placed by Prime Users, the PARTNER agrees to the application of this Prime Order Fee.
GLOVO reserves the right to review and adjust the Prime Order Fee with prior notification to the PARTNER in accordance with the amendment provisions outlined in these Terms and Conditions for Partners.
3.7. GLOVO may charge with an Activation Fee the PARTNER and each of its AFFILIATES the applicable amount of 270,000UGX plus VAT (if applicable) for registering it on the APP. This amount shall be charged in the first invoice issued by it or, if the said sum is not charged in the first invoice, in the following ones until the said amount is charged. In addition, and only where so agreed between the Parties, the PARTNER shall pay GLOVO a monthly amount up to 23,000UGX (hereinafter, the “Platform Fee”), which shall be deducted on a fortnightly basis from the total sales made through the APP, in accordance with the same payment process as that described in Clause 3.4. In the event that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) registers a positive change, GLOVO reserves the right to adjust it in accordance with the CPI rate. These fees may vary from time to time. In the event that a SIM card is provided to the PARTNER, an additional monthly amount of up to 14,500UGX per store will be applied in the Platform Fee.
3.8. The “Device" may refer to Devices (with or without printer) supplied by GLOVO, or the phone or tablet provided by GLOVO. The PARTNER agrees that GLOVO retains the complete ownership over the Device(s) supplied to the PARTNER by GLOVO, throughout the validity of this Agreement and after its termination;
GLOVO reserves the full right to provide, upgrade, change, replace or take back the Device, or other transmission equipment or software, at any time at the sole discretion of GLOVO;
In any event, once the business relationship between the PARTNER and GLOVO has come to an end, the PARTNER will be required to return the device in perfect condition – subject to normal wear and tear arising from a normal and responsible use of the material – within a maximum of FIFTEEN (15) calendar days from the end of the collaboration. GLOVO shall get in contact with the PARTNER to coordinate the device collection. In the event that the PARTNER does not return the device upon GLOVO’s requirement, the PARTNER shall assume a 846,200UGX penalty. The same penalty shall apply in case of loss or misuse of the Device.
In the event that the PARTNER purchases the device from GLOVO, the PARTNER becomes the owner of the device and the above penalty and its return won’t be applicable.

The relationship arising from these Terms and Conditions for Partners is strictly a business relationship between independent parties, who agree to present themselves to the market as independent operators at all times, avoiding any confusion between the services provided by each of them. Both Parties agree to work together in good faith on certain collaboration-based projects.

In the case that the said period expires without the PARTNER having expressed its opposition, the content of the notified modification / deletion / inclusion will be binding on both parties and will remain in force for the duration of the relationship. The continued access or use of the APP by the PARTNER after the entry into force of the modification / deletion / inclusion will be considered as acceptance of the same by the PARTNER.
3.- FINANCIAL CONDITIONS.-
3.1. Payment for the use of the APP and for part of the delivery service provided by the MANDATARIES, if such service has been agreed by the Parties, shall be calculated based on the agreed percentage (%) + VAT, based on the gross sales (products/services + applicable taxes) of products and/or services obtained by the PARTNER as a result of its visibility on the GLOVO APP (hereinafter, the “Contracted Services Fee”). The Parties declare that the percentage for the calculation of the Contracted Services Fee has been freely agreed, on good faith and taking into consideration the conditions and needs of both Parties.
In addition, if applicable, the PARTNER shall pay the price for the delivery and cash collection services provided by the MANDATARY. In such a case, the PARTNER shall be invoiced for such services directly by the MANDATARY or, in case of express agreement of the Parties, re-invoiced by GLOVO.

3.3. The gross sales of the products and/or services offered by the PARTNER and paid in cash shall be paid by the PARTNER to GLOVO within SEVEN (7) calendar days immediately after their accrual. Delay in payment shall give rise to a penalty equivalent to the legal interest rate applicable to the territory at the time of the breach of contract. GLOVO reserves the right to offset, charge or recover directly from the balances held by GLOVO in the PARTNER’s name all those amounts owed to it by the PARTNER that have not been paid within THIRTY (30) calendar days from their date of accrual.

The PARTNER acknowledges and accepts that it will be charged with a payment fee (“Payment Fee”), determined in the Manager Portal, prior to its acceptance. This Payment Fee is applied on top of the Contracted Services Fee already agreed. At any time the PARTNER may unsubscribe from the Advanced Payout directly from the Manager Portal. The PARTNER acknowledges that if GLOVO considers that there is a risk of fraud (i.e. creation of fake orders) it may deactivate the Advanced Payout to the PARTNER without prior notice. The PARTNER acknowledges that it will not receive the Advanced Payout if it is in a negative balance ( pending invoices towards GLOVO).
3.5. GLOVO may charge with an Activation Fee the PARTNER and each of its AFFILIATES the applicable amount of _______Ugandan Shilling (UGXXX.XX) plus VAT for registering it on the APP.
