For example, certain products may be available for in-restaurant purchase but not for delivery or catering orders.
The prices and availability of products and services may change at any time without notice to you. Prices remain valid while they are listed and offered on the applicable Site. The Subway® Group and the participating Subway® restaurant reserve the right to cancel, to terminate, or to not process orders (including accepted orders) where the price or other material information on the applicable Site is inaccurate, to revoke any stated price, and to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions (including after a purchase has been made).

4. Order Pick-Up
After your pick-up order has been accepted, your order will be ready for pick-up approximately 15 minutes after checkout, unless you have ordered ahead and arranged for a separate pick-up time. Once your pick-up order has been accepted by the applicable Subway® restaurant, changes WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, your order will be fulfilled as originally submitted, and YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF YOUR ORDER to the applicable Subway® restaurant. This section does not apply to catering orders. See below for more information on catering orders.
5. Order Delivery
Order delivery is subject to availability and Subway® restaurant participation. Delivery services may not be available in certain areas or during all restaurant operating hours. Where the option is available, you can place a Subway® Delivery order through the Sites. To determine if Subway® Delivery is available in your area, select ‘delivery’ as the fulfillment type on the Site when prompted and then enter the requested delivery address. If Subway® Delivery is available in that area at that time, a Subway® restaurant will be assigned to your order. If Subway® Delivery is not available, the Site will ask you to switch to a pick-up order.
Subway® Delivery orders placed through the Sites can be placed beginning 30 minutes after opening, and up until 30 minutes before closing, of the applicable Subway® restaurant. Order delivery is available only at participating Subway® restaurant locations.
Subway® Delivery orders are delivered through DoorDash. Please note that 100% of the tips you choose to give using Subway® Delivery will be forwarded to the delivery driver, not to the Subway® restaurant.
Some items are not available for order via Subway® Delivery, such as, by way of example, fountain beverages, coffee/tea, and soup.
Once your delivery order has been accepted by the applicable Subway® restaurant, changes WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, your order will be fulfilled as originally submitted, and YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF YOUR ORDER to the applicable Subway® restaurant.
Subway® Delivery Fee Disclosure: Where Subway® Delivery is used, additional fees may apply. Additionally, the Subway® restaurant chosen by the Site to fulfill your order is based on multiple factors, including the delivery address, driver availability, participating restaurants, and approximate delivery time. As such, it is possible that the Subway® restaurant chosen is not the closest one to the delivery address and therefore subject to a higher delivery fee. The delivery fees disclosed on the Site at the time of sale will apply to your order. Delivery fees are subject to change at any time and do not include any applicable taxes.
