Refund Policy

Effective Date: July 16, 2026 | Last Updated: July 16, 2026

1. Overview

This Refund Policy applies to all orders placed through our website pizzafactorycafe.top, by phone, or in person at our location. We comply with applicable consumer protection laws in the United States, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which protects consumers against unfair or deceptive business practices. We strive to handle all refund and complaint matters fairly, transparently, and promptly.

By placing an order with Pizza Factory, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. We encourage you to read this document in full before submitting a refund request.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

We assess refund eligibility on a case-by-case basis. You may be eligible for a full or partial refund if one or more of the following conditions apply:

• You received the wrong item(s) that you did not order.
• Your order arrived in a condition that was inedible, damaged, or spoiled.
• A significant portion of your order was missing upon delivery or pickup.
• Your order was never delivered despite confirmation of the order.
• You were charged an incorrect amount that does not match your order total.
• A duplicate charge was applied to your payment method.
• Your order was significantly delayed beyond the estimated delivery or pickup time and you no longer require the food.
• You have a documented food allergy concern that was not honored despite being specified at the time of ordering.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure a fair and timely resolution, all refund requests must be submitted within the following timeframes:

Requests submitted outside of these timeframes may not be eligible for a refund. We strongly encourage customers to inspect their orders promptly upon receipt.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

The following situations and items are generally not eligible for refunds:

• Orders that have been fully consumed or substantially eaten.
• Refund requests based solely on personal taste preferences or dissatisfaction with standard recipe ingredients that were listed on the menu.
• Orders where the customer provided an incorrect delivery address.
• Special promotional items, discounted bundles, or limited-time offer meals (unless defective or incorrect).
• Orders where the customer was unavailable to receive delivery at the time of arrival and the order was left per prior instruction.
• Gift cards, vouchers, or promotional credits once redeemed.
• Delivery fees, where applicable, unless the non-delivery was our fault.
• Customization requests that were honored as specified but the customer later changed their preference.

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

To request a refund, please follow these steps carefully:

1. Step 1 — Document the Issue: Before contacting us, take clear photographs of your order showing the problem (wrong items, damaged food, missing items, etc.). This documentation helps us process your request more quickly.
2. Step 2 — Contact Us Directly: Reach out to our customer support team via email at [email protected] or visit our website at pizzafactorycafe.top. You may also contact us by phone if available.
3. Step 3 — Provide Order Details: When submitting your refund request, include the following information:
   • Your full name
   • Order number or confirmation number
   • Date and time of the order
   • Description of the issue
   • Photos or supporting evidence (if applicable)
   • Preferred resolution (refund, replacement, or store credit)
4. Step 4 — Await Confirmation: Our team will acknowledge your request within 1–2 business days and may reach out for additional information if needed.
5. Step 5 — Resolution: Once your request is reviewed and approved, we will notify you of the outcome and initiate the refund, replacement, or store credit as applicable.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund is approved, the time required to receive your funds depends on your original payment method:

Please note that while we process refunds promptly on our end, bank processing times may vary and are outside of our control. If you have not received your refund within the stated timeframe, we recommend contacting your bank or payment provider first before reaching out to us.

7. Partial Refunds

In certain circumstances, we may issue a partial refund rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may apply in the following situations:

• Only one or a few items in a multi-item order were incorrect or missing, while the rest of the order was correct and satisfactory.
• The food quality was partially compromised but a portion of the order was acceptable and consumed.
• A delivery delay affected only part of the order's quality.
• A discount or promotional code was already applied to the order, reducing the refundable amount.
• The customer partially consumed the order before discovering a quality concern.

Partial refund amounts will be determined at the discretion of our team based on a fair assessment of the situation and the value of the affected items.

8. Exchange Policy

In many cases, we may offer an exchange or replacement as an alternative to a monetary refund. This option is available when:

• The wrong item was delivered and you would prefer the correct item instead of a refund.
• Your order arrived in poor condition and we are able to prepare a fresh replacement within a reasonable time.
• A missing item from your order can be delivered separately or picked up at our location.

Exchanges and replacements are subject to availability at the time of the request. We will make every reasonable effort to fulfill a replacement order promptly. If a replacement is not feasible (e.g., due to kitchen closing time or ingredient unavailability), a refund or store credit will be issued instead.

9. Cancellation Policy

Our ability to cancel an order depends on the stage of food preparation at the time of the request:

9.1 Cancellations Before Preparation

If you wish to cancel your order, you must do so within 5 minutes of placing it. During this window, your order may not yet have entered the preparation stage, and a full refund can be issued. Contact us immediately via phone or through our website to request a cancellation.

9.2 Cancellations After Preparation Has Begun

Once your order has entered the preparation stage, cancellations may not be possible. At this point, we will have already committed ingredients and labor to your order. In such cases:

• A full refund will generally not be available.
• Store credit may be offered at our discretion as a goodwill gesture.
• If the cancellation is due to an error on our part, a full refund will be issued.

9.3 Cancellations Due to Our Operational Issues

If we need to cancel your order due to ingredient shortages, technical issues, or operational emergencies, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method within the timeframes listed in Section 6 of this policy.

9.4 Third-Party Platform Cancellations

Orders placed through third-party delivery applications (such as DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub) are subject to the cancellation policies of those respective platforms. We encourage you to review those policies directly, as we may have limited control over cancellations initiated through those services.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

If you are unsatisfied with the outcome of your refund request, we encourage you to follow the dispute resolution steps outlined below:

10.1 Internal Resolution

As a first step, please contact our customer service team directly to escalate your concern. Provide all relevant documentation and clearly state why you believe the initial decision was incorrect. Our management team will review escalated disputes within 3–5 business days.

10.2 Mediation

If an internal resolution cannot be reached, both parties may agree to pursue informal mediation. This involves a neutral third party helping to facilitate a mutually acceptable resolution without the need for legal proceedings.

10.3 Chargeback Rights

As a consumer in the United States, you retain the right to initiate a chargeback with your credit card company or bank if you believe you were unfairly charged. We comply with all applicable chargeback regulations under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA). However, we ask that you attempt to resolve the matter with us directly before initiating a chargeback, as doing so allows us to address your concern more quickly.

10.4 FTC and Consumer Protection Complaints

You also have the right to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov/complaint or your state's consumer protection agency if you believe our practices are unfair or deceptive. We take all such concerns seriously and will cooperate fully with any regulatory inquiries.

11. Special Circumstances

We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise. The following special situations will be handled with additional consideration:

• Food Allergy Reactions: If you experienced a food allergy reaction due to an undisclosed ingredient or a failure to honor your stated allergy restriction, please contact us immediately. We treat these cases with the highest priority and will work closely with you to provide an appropriate resolution, which may include a full refund and documentation of the incident for our quality assurance records.
• Catering and Large Orders: For large catering orders, refund requests will be assessed individually. Partial refunds are more commonly applicable in these cases, depending on the scope of the issue.
• Inclement Weather and Delivery Delays: Delays caused by extreme weather or circumstances beyond our control (force majeure) may affect delivery times. We will do our best to communicate delays in advance, and refund eligibility will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
