ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause allocates operational responsibility by clarifying the legal and contractual relationship between Instacart and service providers. It establishes that Third Party Providers function independently, which affects liability attribution and the scope of Instacart's control over service delivery standards.
