HANDS Wash them often
ELBOW Cough into it
FACE Don't touch it
FEET Stay more than 3 feet apart
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.
“DOT” Services during COVID-19:During the containment of the COVID-19 virus, “DOT” 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 “DOT” Services: You must use “DOT” Services responsibly and in compliance with the law. Please ensure that you handover to the “DOT” 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 “DOT” 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 “DOT” 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 “DOT”, we celebrate inclusion and diversity amongst our large community of users, partners, merchants, and employees. Remember, when you use “DOT”, 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.
Containing Community Spread:All your partners are aware and following recommended preventive measures to ensure you and our community can stay safe.
Insurance:All “DOT” 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.
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 On boarding: If you wish to sign up during this time to serve your city as a “DOT” Partner, by ensuring essentials reach those who need it the most, please sign up here. You can be onboarded through our remote onboarding facility.
