Refund Policy

Last Updated: June 15, 2024

At Pizza Depot, we strive to ensure your complete satisfaction with every order. We understand that sometimes things may not go as planned, and we're committed to addressing any issues promptly and fairly. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which we offer refunds and the process for requesting them.

Please read this policy carefully before placing an order with us. By ordering from Pizza Depot, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.

1. Refund Eligibility

You may be eligible for a refund, credit, or replacement in the following situations:

1.1 Quality Issues

  • If your order arrives with missing items
  • If your order is significantly different from what was described or ordered
  • If there are issues with the quality or freshness of the food
  • If there are foreign objects or contaminants in the food

1.2 Delivery Issues

  • If your order is excessively late (more than 30 minutes beyond the estimated delivery time) without prior notification
  • If your order arrives damaged due to improper handling during delivery
  • If your order was never delivered but was marked as delivered in our system

1.3 Technical Issues

  • If you were charged multiple times for the same order due to a system error
  • If a technical glitch resulted in an incorrect order being processed

2. Refund Conditions

2.1 Time Frame for Reporting Issues

To be eligible for a refund, you must report the issue:

  • For delivery orders: Within 30 minutes of delivery or the expected delivery time if the order wasn't delivered
  • For pickup orders: Before leaving the store or within 15 minutes of pickup
  • For billing or technical issues: Within 7 days of the transaction

2.2 Required Information

When reporting an issue, please provide:

  • Your order number or receipt
  • Date and time of order
  • Specific details about the issue
  • Photos of the problem (if applicable and possible)
  • Your contact information

2.3 Verification Process

We may need to verify your claim before processing a refund. This may include:

  • Reviewing your order history
  • Checking delivery records
  • Consulting with the staff involved in preparing or delivering your order
  • Examining photos or other evidence provided

3. Types of Refund Resolution

Depending on the nature and severity of the issue, we may offer one of the following resolutions:

3.1 Full Refund

A complete refund of the order amount may be provided in cases where:

  • The order was never delivered
  • The entire order was inedible or unsuitable for consumption
  • Multiple serious issues affected the entire order
  • You were double-charged for the same order

3.2 Partial Refund

A partial refund may be offered when:

  • Only specific items in the order had issues
  • The order was significantly late but still delivered and consumed
  • Minor quality issues affected the overall experience but the food was still consumed

3.3 Store Credit

Store credit for a future order may be offered as an alternative to a monetary refund, especially for:

  • Minor issues where the food was still largely consumed
  • Situations where preference rather than quality was the main issue
  • When a refund cannot be processed to the original payment method

3.4 Replacement

In some cases, we may offer to remake and deliver a replacement order instead of providing a refund, particularly when:

  • The issue can be promptly corrected
  • You would prefer to receive the correct order rather than a refund
  • The location is able to deliver a replacement in a reasonable timeframe

4. Refund Processing Time

Once we approve a refund, the processing time will depend on your original payment method:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: Refunds typically appear on your statement within 5-10 business days, though some banks may take longer to process the credit.
  • Digital Wallets (PayPal, Apple Pay, etc.): Refunds are usually processed within 3-5 business days.
  • Store Credit: Applied to your Pizza Depot account immediately and available for your next order.
  • Cash Orders: For orders paid in cash, you may need to visit the store location with your receipt to receive a cash refund, or we can offer store credit or process a refund to a card of your choice.

5. How to Request a Refund

If you experience an issue with your order that qualifies for a refund under this policy, you can request a refund through the following methods:

5.1 Immediate Resolution

For the fastest resolution:

  • Delivery Orders: Call the store that prepared your order directly. The phone number is provided on your receipt and in your order confirmation.
  • Pickup Orders: Speak with the manager or staff member before leaving the store.

5.2 Customer Support

  • Call our customer support line at +440300716905

  • Use the "Help" or "Support" section in our mobile app to submit a refund request

5.3 Refund Request Procedure

When requesting a refund, please follow these steps:

  1. Have your order number or receipt ready
  2. Clearly explain the issue you experienced
  3. Provide any requested information or evidence (photos, etc.)
  4. Specify your preferred resolution (refund, store credit, or replacement)
  5. Provide the contact information where you can be reached if follow-up is needed

6. Exceptions to the Refund Policy

While we strive to ensure customer satisfaction, refunds may not be available in the following situations:

  • Complaints made after the specified reporting timeframes
  • Personal taste preferences when the order was prepared correctly according to the menu description
  • Issues resulting from incorrect information provided by the customer (wrong delivery address, incorrect phone number, etc.)
  • Minor delays in delivery during extreme weather conditions, major sporting events, or holidays when delivery estimates are clearly communicated as extended
  • Promotional items, free items, or discounted items as part of special offers
  • Orders where more than 75% of the food has been consumed

7. Frequent Refund Requests

While we value your feedback and want to ensure your satisfaction, we monitor refund patterns to maintain the integrity of our refund system. Accounts with an unusually high number of refund requests may be flagged for review, and we reserve the right to:

  • Request additional verification for future refund claims
  • Limit refund options to store credit or replacement orders only
  • Deny refund requests if a pattern of abuse is identified

Our goal is to fairly address legitimate concerns while preventing misuse of our refund policy.

8. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting the updated policy on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about our refund practices.

If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify our customers through a notice on our website or through other reasonable means.
