Many people (not to say the vast majority) overlook the terms and conditions of any application, platform, social network, or contract when we download it to our mobile because we want it to finish installing so we can log in or create an account, and start enjoying its content, as is the case with DoorDash.
Before entering your profile on the delivery platform, you will be asked to read the terms and conditions of the company so that you are aware of what happens in case something happens and must be resolved with the help of a third party. This is why, before accepting them, you should read these terms and conditions to know what you are dealing with.
As in an episode of the sixth season of Black Mirror, “Joan Is Awful,” in which users accept the bases and conditions of a streaming platform without reading the terms, which leads people to (Spoiler alert) be the very protagonists of a series of their life, without knowing that they have accepted that, which was written in the “fine print” of the contract.

The lesson of this series is that we should always read the terms and conditions to follow a company’s policy, in this case, DoorDash. This delivery company provides users, workers, and Dashers (DoorDash drivers) with all the information needed to comply with the delivery company’s proposal.
As mentioned above, DoorDash shows its terms and conditions when downloading the application. After accepting them, you can start using the platform. Like most companies, this method ensures that the rules and rights of workers and diners are followed.
Virtual scams are becoming increasingly frequent, and for a company used by millions of people, as DoorDash is, it is crucial to develop a good law plan for both the user and the workers of the ordering application. To combat these digital scams and frauds, DoorDash has implemented solutions proportional to the severity of the crime committed.
New DoorDash policies
The San Francisco-based company’s app asks users to comply with new rules to create a clean environment free of scams and illegal moves that could end up in the hands of a judge.
DoorDash believes that punishment should be based on the severity of the infraction. Penalties for workers and businesses associated with the delivery company could prevent them from accessing the app, hurting both their pockets and those of the food delivery platform. Legal experts representing DoorDash have devised a plan to respond proportionately to offenses committed from the app.

The actions DoorDash will take if it notices something strange among the movements of its users may leave them not only without access to the platform created by Tony Xu, Stanley Tang, Andy Fang, and Evan Moore but also further harm the entrepreneurs (restaurants and stores) adhered to DoorDash, as they will lose the possibility for their customers to purchase their products and meals through this delivery service, which would mean a significant loss of money for the business. This could be compared to a “red card.
In the case of a minor infraction, the food delivery company will notify the user about the violation and send them policies about what happened, how to proceed, or what steps to take to avoid a recurrence. If we go back to the soccer example, we could compare it to a “yellow card” to warn that the next time something outside the law happens, you will receive that “red card” if you don’t respect your policies.
So, to hold you accountable, DoorDash will notify those who commit a “foul” and remind them by email of the rules they have violated (yellow card). On the other hand, if it is a repeated or grave offense, a “red card” will be issued, and the user will lose access to their account, as it will be deactivated.
“It’s important to emphasize that we never decide to deactivate a user’s account lightly” – DoorDash.
DoorDash puts on its website as an example of account deactivation to major offenses, such as when a user or Dasher uses offensive words or insults towards the other person, there is fraud, physical aggression, discrimination, or threats, among other actions, such as, in the case of Dashers, taking longer than expected to deliver an order, or wrong deliveries.
A second chance for Dashers
Dashers can request a new opportunity after their account has been deactivated. Dashers will receive a notification with this link to order the reactivation of their account so they can continue working. This process is for accounts deactivated for no reason, i.e., by mistake.
If your account is deactivated, you should fill out this form so that the DoorDash team can help you reactivate your account as soon as possible.
