Refund Policy

At Punch Pizza, we are committed to delivering a satisfying dining experience with every order. We understand that issues may occasionally arise, and this Refund Policy outlines how we handle refund requests, cancellations, exchanges, and disputes in a fair and transparent manner. Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.

1. General Overview

This Refund Policy applies to all orders placed through our website at pizzasspunchs.rest, via telephone, or through any authorized third-party delivery platforms associated with Punch Pizza. By placing an order with us, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

As a food service business operating in the United States, we are committed to complying with applicable federal and state consumer protection laws, including guidelines set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the FTC Act. Our refund practices are designed to be fair, reasonable, and consistent with industry standards for food service establishments.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

Not every situation automatically qualifies for a refund. The following conditions must be met for a refund request to be considered eligible:

• The order was placed through an authorized Punch Pizza channel (our website, phone, or an approved third-party platform).
• The refund request is submitted within the applicable timeframe outlined in Section 3 of this policy.
• The issue relates to one or more of the following qualifying circumstances:
  • The order was significantly incorrect (wrong items delivered or missing items).
  • The food was delivered in an unsatisfactory condition due to our error (e.g., cold food, damaged packaging affecting food quality).
  • A confirmed duplicate charge was applied to your payment method.
  • The order was never delivered despite confirmation and payment processing.
  • An allergen or dietary requirement that was clearly communicated at the time of ordering was not honored, resulting in a food safety concern.
• Sufficient evidence is provided upon request (such as photos of the order, a description of the issue, and order confirmation details).

Refunds are issued at the sole discretion of Punch Pizza management after a thorough review of each case. We reserve the right to deny refund requests that do not meet the eligibility criteria or that we reasonably determine to be fraudulent or abusive.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure we can properly investigate and resolve your concern, all refund requests must be submitted within the following timeframes:

Requests submitted after these deadlines may not be eligible for a refund. We encourage all customers to inspect their orders promptly upon receipt and contact us immediately if any issues are identified.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

Certain circumstances and items are not eligible for refunds under this policy. These include, but are not limited to:

• Change of mind: Refunds will not be issued simply because you changed your mind after placing an order that has already been prepared.
• Consumed food: If a significant portion of the order has been consumed, a refund will not be granted for dissatisfaction reasons alone.
• Incorrect delivery address: If an order cannot be delivered due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer, no refund will be issued for delivery charges.
• Customization errors made by the customer: If the customer selected incorrect customization options during the ordering process, the resulting order is non-refundable.
• Promotional or discounted items: Items purchased using promotional codes, special discounts, or loyalty rewards may not be eligible for a full refund unless there is a verified quality issue.
• Third-party platform orders: Orders placed through third-party delivery applications are subject to the refund policies of those respective platforms in addition to our own policy. We may have limited ability to process refunds for such orders directly.
• Gift cards and vouchers: Purchases of gift cards, vouchers, or store credit are non-refundable.
• Service fees and delivery fees: Processing fees, service fees, and delivery fees are generally non-refundable unless the issue is attributable to an error solely on the part of Punch Pizza.

5. How to Request a Refund — Step-by-Step

To submit a refund request, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Gather Your Information: Before contacting us, please have the following ready:
   • Your order confirmation number or receipt
   • The date and time of your order
   • The name used when placing the order
   • A clear description of the issue
   • Photographic evidence where applicable (e.g., photos of incorrect or damaged items)
2. Contact Our Customer Support Team: Reach out to us using one of the following methods:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Website: pizzasspunchs.rest
3. Submit Your Request: Clearly state that you are requesting a refund, describe the issue in detail, and attach any supporting evidence (photos, receipts, etc.).
4. Await Review: Our customer support team will review your request and may follow up with additional questions or requests for information. Please respond promptly to avoid delays.
5. Receive a Decision: You will be notified of the outcome of your refund request via the contact method you used or the email address on file with your order. If approved, your refund will be processed according to the timelines in Section 6.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, the time it takes to receive your funds depends on your original payment method. Please refer to the table below:

Please note that while we process refunds promptly on our end, the actual posting time to your account is controlled by your financial institution and may vary. If you have not received your refund after the indicated timeframe, we recommend contacting your bank or payment provider before reaching out to us.

7. Partial Refunds

In some situations, a partial refund may be more appropriate than a full refund. Partial refunds may be granted under the following conditions:

• Only a portion of the order was incorrect or missing, while the remainder of the order was satisfactory.
• The food quality issue affected only specific items in a larger order.
• An order was delayed significantly but was eventually delivered (a partial refund may be offered as a goodwill gesture).
• A discount or promotional code should have been applied but was not, and the difference is being refunded.
• Management determines, based on evidence provided, that a full refund is not warranted given the circumstances.

Partial refund amounts are calculated based on the value of the affected items, applicable taxes, and any associated fees. Our team will communicate the partial refund amount to you before processing it, and you will have the opportunity to accept or escalate the matter.

8. Exchange Policy

Due to the perishable nature of food products, traditional item exchanges are generally not available in the same manner as with non-food retail products. However, we do offer the following alternatives where appropriate:

• Replacement Orders: If an incorrect or significantly defective item is reported promptly and within our operating hours, we may offer to prepare and deliver a replacement at no additional cost to you, subject to availability and delivery area.
• Store Credit: Instead of a cash refund, customers may opt to receive store credit equivalent to the value of the affected items. Store credit can be applied to future orders at Punch Pizza.
• In-Store Resolution: For dine-in or carry-out orders with quality issues identified on-site, our staff can immediately address the problem by replacing the item or offering an alternative solution.

Exchanges and replacements are subject to availability and must be requested within the applicable timeframes outlined in Section 3.

9. Cancellation Policy

Order cancellations are accepted under limited circumstances due to the fast-paced nature of food preparation. Please review the following cancellation guidelines:

9.1 Online and Phone Orders

• Orders may be cancelled within 5 minutes of being placed, provided preparation has not yet begun.
• Once our kitchen staff has begun preparing your order, cancellations will not be accepted and no refund will be issued.
• To cancel an order, please contact us immediately by phone or email using the contact information provided in Section 11.

9.2 Scheduled or Pre-Orders

• Orders scheduled for a future date or time may be cancelled up to 2 hours before the scheduled preparation time.
• Cancellations made after this window may be subject to a cancellation fee or may be non-refundable depending on the preparation stage.

9.3 Catering and Large Group Orders

• Catering orders or large group orders (10 or more people) must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance for a full refund.
• Cancellations made between 24 and 48 hours before the event may receive a partial refund of up to 50% of the total order value.
• Cancellations made fewer than 24 hours before the scheduled event are non-refundable due to the cost of ingredients and preparation labor already committed.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

We are committed to resolving all customer concerns in a prompt and fair manner. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your refund request, you have the following options:

10.1 Internal Escalation

If you feel your refund request was not handled appropriately, you may request that your case be escalated to a senior manager at Punch Pizza. Please contact us at [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Escalation — [Your Order Number]" and provide a detailed account of your concern. A senior team member will review your case and respond within 5 business days.

10.2 Third-Party Mediation

If an internal resolution cannot be reached, we encourage customers to seek assistance through consumer protection resources available in the United States, including:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): Customers may file a complaint at www.ftc.gov regarding unfair or deceptive business practices.
• Better Business Bureau (BBB): Complaints may be submitted through the BBB's online platform for mediation assistance.
• State Attorney General's Office: Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional consumer protection rights and remedies available to you.

10.3 Chargebacks

While customers retain the legal right to initiate a chargeback with their bank or credit card provider, we strongly encourage direct communication with our team first. Chargeback processes can be time-consuming and may result in delays. We will cooperate fully with any chargeback investigation initiated by a financial institution.
