Refund Policy

At Punch Pizza, we are committed to delivering a high-quality food experience with every order. We understand that situations may arise where a refund or adjustment is necessary. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions, procedures, and timelines that govern refund requests made through our website at punch-delivery.click. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order.

1. General Refund Philosophy

Punch Pizza values customer satisfaction above all else. Because we deal in perishable food products, our refund policy is necessarily more specific than those of non-food businesses. We strive to handle every refund request fairly, promptly, and in accordance with applicable United States consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act and relevant state-level consumer protection statutes.

By placing an order through punch-delivery.click, you agree to the terms set forth in this Refund Policy. This policy applies to all orders placed online, via phone, or through any third-party platform that processes orders on our behalf.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

You may be eligible for a full or partial refund under the following circumstances:

• Wrong Order Delivered: You received items that are different from what you ordered.
• Missing Items: One or more items from your confirmed order were not included in your delivery or pickup.
• Food Quality Issues: The food delivered was undercooked, spoiled, or otherwise unsafe or unfit for consumption.
• Significant Order Inaccuracy: Your order was prepared in a way that significantly differs from your specifications (e.g., wrong toppings, failure to accommodate a documented dietary restriction noted at the time of ordering).
• Order Not Delivered: Your delivery order was never received and our records cannot confirm successful delivery.
• Technical Duplicate Charge: You were charged more than once for the same order due to a technical error on our platform.
• Order Cancelled Before Preparation: You cancelled your order before we began preparing it (see Cancellation Policy below).

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure your refund request can be properly investigated and processed, please adhere to the following timeframes:

Refund requests submitted after the applicable deadline may not be honored. We encourage customers to inspect their orders immediately upon receipt and contact us right away if there is a problem.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

Certain situations do not qualify for a refund. Please review the following non-refundable circumstances carefully:

• Change of Mind: Refunds will not be issued simply because you changed your mind about an order after preparation has begun.
• Incorrect Address Provided: If a delivery cannot be completed because you provided an incorrect or incomplete delivery address, no refund will be issued.
• Unavailability at Delivery Time: If our delivery driver was unable to complete the delivery because no one was available to receive the order, no refund will be provided.
• Personal Taste Preferences: Dissatisfaction based purely on personal taste rather than a verifiable quality or accuracy issue does not qualify for a refund.
• Consumed Orders: If a substantial portion of the order has been consumed, refund eligibility may be significantly reduced or denied.
• Promotional or Complimentary Items: Items provided free of charge, as part of a promotion, or through a loyalty reward are not eligible for a cash refund.
• Delivery Fees: Delivery fees are generally non-refundable unless the entire order was not delivered through our fault.
• Third-Party Platform Orders: Orders placed through third-party delivery platforms (e.g., DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) are subject to those platforms' own refund policies. Punch Pizza is not directly responsible for refunds on such orders.

   • A clear description of the issue

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, the time it takes for the funds to appear in your account depends on the payment method used at the time of purchase:

7. Partial Refunds

In certain situations, a partial refund may be issued rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may apply when:

• Only specific items from an order were incorrect or missing, rather than the entire order.
• A portion of the food was consumed before the issue was identified.
• The issue reported is minor in nature and does not justify a full refund (e.g., a minor topping discrepancy that does not significantly alter the product).
• A promotional discount was applied to the original order; the refund will reflect the actual amount paid for the affected item(s).
• The customer accepts a partial resolution, such as a discount on a future order or store credit in lieu of a full monetary refund.

Punch Pizza will always communicate clearly about the refund amount and the reasoning behind any partial refund determination before processing.

8. Exchange Policy

Due to the perishable nature of food products, Punch Pizza does not offer traditional item exchanges. However, in appropriate cases, we may offer the following alternatives to a monetary refund:

• Order Replacement: If an item was prepared incorrectly or is missing, we may, at our discretion, prepare and deliver the correct item at no additional charge, provided the replacement can be fulfilled within a reasonable timeframe.
• Store Credit: In lieu of a cash refund, customers may be offered store credit equal to or greater than the value of the affected item(s). Store credit can be applied to a future order at punch-delivery.click.
• Discount on Future Order: In minor cases, we may offer a promotional discount or coupon code for a future purchase as a gesture of goodwill.

Customers are not obligated to accept an exchange or store credit in place of a monetary refund if they are entitled to one under this policy. If you prefer a monetary refund, please indicate this clearly in your refund request.

9. Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans change. However, because our kitchen begins preparing orders quickly after they are placed, our ability to cancel an order is limited by time. Please review our cancellation terms below:

9.1 Cancellation Before Preparation

If you wish to cancel your order, you must do so within 5 minutes of placing it. If the cancellation request is received before preparation has begun, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method.

9.2 Cancellation After Preparation Has Begun

Once our kitchen has begun preparing your order, we are unable to cancel it. No refund will be issued for orders cancelled after preparation has started.

9.3 Cancellation Due to Punch Pizza

If Punch Pizza must cancel your order for any reason (e.g., ingredient unavailability, technical issues, inability to fulfill delivery to your area), you will receive a full refund within the applicable processing timeframe, and we will notify you as soon as possible.

9.4 How to Cancel

To cancel an order, contact us immediately via email at [email protected] or through the support page at punch-delivery.click. Please include your order number and the reason for cancellation.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your refund request or believe your claim was not handled appropriately, the following dispute resolution steps are available to you:

10.1 Internal Escalation

Contact our customer support team at [email protected] and request that your case be escalated to a supervisor or manager. Please include your original case or ticket number and a description of why you believe the initial decision was incorrect. We will respond to escalated disputes within 3 business days.

10.2 Chargeback Rights

You retain the right to dispute a charge directly with your bank or credit card issuer in accordance with their policies and applicable law. However, we encourage you to contact us first to allow us the opportunity to resolve the issue. Initiating a chargeback without first contacting us may result in delays and the temporary suspension of your account.

10.3 Consumer Protection Resources

As a customer in the United States, you have the right to file a complaint with the following consumer protection authorities:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): www.ftc.gov or 1-877-FTC-HELP
• Your State Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division
• Better Business Bureau (BBB): www.bbb.org

10.4 Informal Mediation

If an internal resolution cannot be reached, both parties agree to attempt informal mediation before pursuing any formal legal action. Mediation requests should be submitted in writing to [email protected].

11. Fraudulent Refund Claims

Punch Pizza takes fraud seriously. Submitting false, misleading, or exaggerated refund claims is prohibited and may result in:

• Permanent suspension of your account
• Denial of all future refund requests
• Reporting to relevant authorities in cases of suspected fraud

We monitor refund patterns and reserve the right to deny refund requests from accounts that demonstrate a history of abuse of this policy.
