Meals Program – Information plus Terms and Conditions

The meals that are part of the $3 Meal Deal are not for sale. They are provided free of charge to holders of a current membership. The membership fee is an administrative fee, which assists the program to cover the costs involved with preparing, distributing and more generally, the cost of running the $3 Meal Deal program.

Multiple membership purchases must be of the same membership level; meals will be deducted from the total at the highest rate, not the lowest. i.e. purchasing 1 week and 1 month will mean all meals are charged at $5 rate, not $4 due to the complexity and time required.

12. $3 MEAL DEAL MEMBERSHIP

12.1 The meals that are part of the $3 Meal Deal are not for sale. They are provided free of charge to holders of a current membership. The membership fee is an administrative fee, which assists the program to cover the costs involved with preparing, distributing and more generally, the cost of running the $3 Meal Deal program.

12.2 There are four levels of membership that a customer can choose from and they are:

a) Casual Membership – Available at the Healthy Food Hubs (Offered to the general public to try our meals and meals are offered either with or without a membership number for that purpose)
b) Weekly Membership – Only available online
c) Monthly Membership – Available online or at our cafés
d) 3 Monthly Membership – Available online or at our cafés

12.3 Online subscriptions are important because they help us plan how many meals are required each day.

12.4 Please note – Subscription memberships mean that you will be charged on a regular basis, based on the level of membership you have chosen. Example: If you have subscribed to a weekly membership, you will be charged weekly for the cost of the weekly membership.

12.5 To suspend or cancel a subscription membership, you must log onto your PayPal account and suspend or cancel it.

12.6 As every dollar received is spent on ensuring that we are able to help as many Australians as possible, we do not offer refunds. If a refund is requested, we will review and action each request on a case by case basis. Please also note that if you elect to request a refund and a refund is granted, we will assume that you will no longer wish to participate in the programs run by UrCommunity and your membership will be cancelled. This also means that you will not be eligible to participate in any of our meals programs or receive any other assistance from UrCommunity in the future.

12.7 Refund Policy for the $3 Meal Deal

Memberships are time based, which means that if you do not use the credits within the allocated time frame, they become null and void. Exceptions include:

a) If you’ve purchased a monthly membership, we’ll allow you the flexibility of taking a few more one week and a few less the other week as required.
b) If you come to the end of your membership and still have outstanding credits, you will have the option of rolling them over, if you renew your membership.

If you decide to cancel your membership, you will only be eligible to receive a refund for One membership period for credits not used.

Example 1: You’ve signed up to a weekly membership and you haven’t used your credits for four weeks but decide you do not want to continue. You will be eligible to receive a refund for One weeks’ worth of membership.

Example 2: You’ve signed up to a 3-month membership and 10 weeks in you decide you do not want to continue. In this instance, you will be eligible to receive a refund for the remaining 3 weeks, assuming you haven’t already used up the credits in additional meals or other products/services.
