Refund Policy

At Punch Pizza, we are committed to delivering fresh, high-quality food and an outstanding customer experience with every order. We understand that sometimes things do not go as planned, and we want to make sure you feel confident and protected when ordering from us. This Refund Policy outlines your rights, our obligations, and the procedures we follow when handling refund and cancellation requests. Please read this document carefully before placing an order.

1. General Overview

This Refund Policy applies to all orders placed directly through our website at punchpizza-meal.click, by phone, or through any other official Punch Pizza ordering channel. By placing an order with us, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. We reserve the right to update or modify this policy at any time, and the most current version will always be available on our website.

As a food service business operating in the United States, Punch Pizza complies with applicable federal consumer protection laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and all relevant state regulations governing food service, e-commerce, and consumer rights.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

We want every customer to be fully satisfied with their Punch Pizza experience. Refunds may be issued under the following conditions:

• Incorrect Order: You received items that are different from what you ordered. For example, you ordered a pepperoni pizza and received a vegetarian pizza instead.
• Missing Items: One or more items from your order were not included in your delivery or pickup bag.
• Poor Food Quality: The food delivered was not prepared to an acceptable standard — including items that are undercooked, overcooked, spoiled, or otherwise inedible upon arrival.
• Significant Delivery Delay: Your delivery was delayed by more than 60 minutes beyond the quoted delivery time and the food arrived in an unsatisfactory condition as a direct result of that delay.
• Duplicate Charges: Your payment method was charged more than once for the same order due to a technical or billing error on our end.
• Order Not Delivered: You placed a delivery order and paid for it, but the order never arrived at your confirmed delivery address.
• Allergen Issues: You clearly communicated an allergen restriction at the time of ordering and your food was prepared with an ingredient you explicitly requested to be excluded, causing a significant problem with your order.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure a fair and efficient process for all customers, refund requests must be submitted within the following timeframes:

Requests submitted after these deadlines may not be eligible for a full refund, though we will review each case individually and do our best to find a fair resolution.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

Certain situations and items are generally not eligible for refunds. These include, but are not limited to:

• Change of Mind: Refunds will not be issued simply because you changed your mind about your order after it has been prepared or dispatched.
• Consumed Food: If more than half of your order has been consumed before a complaint is raised, we may not be able to issue a full refund.
• Customization Requests Not Honored Due to Availability: If you requested a modification that we were unable to fulfill due to ingredient availability, and this was communicated to you prior to order confirmation, no refund will be issued.
• Delivery to Wrong Address: If an incorrect delivery address was provided by the customer and the food was delivered to that address, Punch Pizza is not liable for a refund.
• Late Pickup: For pickup orders, if a customer does not pick up their order within 30 minutes of the ready time and the food deteriorates in quality as a result, refunds will not be issued.
• Promotional or Discounted Items: Items purchased under special promotions, deep discounts, or flash sale offers are non-refundable unless there is a verifiable quality or order accuracy issue.
• Delivery Fees: Delivery fees are generally non-refundable unless the order was never delivered or was cancelled before dispatch.
• Tip Amounts: Gratuity added at checkout is non-refundable under all circumstances.

5. How to Request a Refund (Step-by-Step)

We have made the refund request process as simple and straightforward as possible. Please follow these steps to submit your request:

1. Gather Your Information: Before contacting us, please have your order confirmation number, the date and time of your order, the delivery address or pickup location, and a brief description of the issue ready.
2. Document the Problem: If your complaint relates to food quality, missing items, or incorrect items, we strongly encourage you to take clear photographs as supporting evidence. This will help us process your request more quickly.
3. Contact Us: Reach out to our customer support team using one of the methods listed in the Contact Information section below. You may contact us via email at [email protected]. Please include all relevant details and any attached photos in your initial message.
4. Submit Your Claim: Clearly state the nature of your complaint and specify whether you are requesting a full refund, partial refund, store credit, or a replacement order.
5. Await Review: Our customer service team will review your claim within 1 to 3 business days. We may follow up with additional questions to clarify the details of your complaint.
6. Receive a Decision: Once your claim has been reviewed, we will notify you of our decision via the contact information you provided. If your refund is approved, we will process it according to the timelines specified in Section 6 of this policy.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, the time it takes to receive your money back depends on your original payment method. Please refer to the table below for estimated processing times:

Please be aware that while we initiate the refund promptly on our end, your bank or payment provider may take additional time to reflect the credit in your account. These timelines are outside of our direct control. If you have not received your refund after the maximum timeframe listed above, please contact your bank or payment provider first before reaching out to us.

7. Partial Refunds

In some cases, a full refund may not be warranted, and a partial refund may be the most appropriate resolution. Punch Pizza reserves the right to issue partial refunds in the following scenarios:

• Only a portion of your order was incorrect or missing, and the rest of the order was received in satisfactory condition.
• The food quality issue affected only one or a few items in a multi-item order.
• A delivery delay occurred, but the food was still received in an edible and generally acceptable condition.
• A customer partially consumed a meal before discovering a quality issue — the refund may be prorated accordingly.
• An agreed-upon service or order could not be completed in full due to ingredient availability or operational constraints, and a partial order was delivered instead.

The amount of any partial refund will be calculated based on the value of the affected items and the nature of the complaint. We will always communicate the proposed refund amount to you before processing.

8. Exchange Policy

For food safety and hygiene reasons, Punch Pizza does not offer traditional item exchanges in the same manner as a retail store. However, we do our best to make things right when an order error has occurred on our part. The following options may be available to you instead of a monetary refund:

• Replacement Order: If you received an incorrect item or a significantly substandard product, we may offer to prepare and deliver or provide for pickup a replacement item at no additional cost. Replacement orders are subject to availability and may take standard preparation time.
• Store Credit: In some situations, we may offer store credit equivalent to the value of the affected item(s). Store credit can be used on future orders placed through punchpizza-meal.click.
• Discount Voucher: At our discretion, we may provide a discount voucher for a future order as a goodwill gesture in cases where a full or partial refund is not applicable.

Replacement orders and store credit alternatives are offered entirely at the discretion of Punch Pizza and in the interest of providing good customer service. They do not waive your rights to pursue a monetary refund where one is legitimately warranted under this policy.

9. Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change. However, because food preparation begins quickly after an order is received, our cancellation window is limited. Please review our cancellation terms carefully:

9.1 Online and Phone Orders

• Cancellation within 5 minutes of ordering: If you contact us within 5 minutes of placing your order and food preparation has not yet begun, we will cancel your order and issue a full refund to your original payment method.
• Cancellation after 5 minutes: Once food preparation has begun, we are unable to cancel your order or issue a refund, as ingredients have already been used and kitchen staff have committed time to your order.
• Cancellation due to our error: If we need to cancel your order for any reason on our end (such as an ingredient shortage, technical issue, or inability to fulfill the delivery), you will receive a full refund automatically.

9.2 Scheduled or Pre-Orders

For orders placed in advance for a future date or time, cancellations must be made at least 2 hours before the scheduled preparation time to receive a full refund. Cancellations made within 2 hours of the scheduled time may not be eligible for a refund, depending on how far into preparation the order is at the time of the cancellation request.

9.3 Catering and Large Group Orders

Catering orders or large group orders (typically 10 or more people) require a minimum of 24 hours' notice for cancellation to receive a full refund. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a cancellation fee of up to 50% of the total order value, as significant preparation and ingredient procurement may have already taken place.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

If you are unsatisfied with the outcome of a refund or cancellation decision made by our customer support team, you have the right to escalate your concern. Punch Pizza is committed to resolving all customer disputes fairly and in good faith.

10.1 Internal Escalation

If you believe your refund request was handled incorrectly or unfairly, you may request that your case be reviewed by a senior member of our management team. To do so, simply reply to the email communication from our support team, clearly stating that you wish to escalate your complaint, and provide any additional supporting information you believe is relevant.

10.2 Chargeback Rights

As a consumer in the United States, you have the right to dispute a charge with your bank or credit card issuer if you believe you were charged incorrectly or did not receive the service you paid for. This right is protected under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) for credit card transactions. We encourage customers to attempt to resolve disputes directly with us before initiating a chargeback, as we are committed to finding a fair solution. However, we fully respect your right to pursue this avenue if necessary.

10.3 FTC and Consumer Protection Resources

If you believe your consumer rights have been violated, you may also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov or contact your state's Attorney General office for guidance on consumer protection matters in your state.

10.4 Governing Law

This Refund Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any unresolved disputes shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the applicable state where the transaction occurred.
