Refund Policy

Effective Date: May 17, 2026 | Last Updated: May 17, 2026

1. Introduction

At Pizza Ranch, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We take great pride in delivering high-quality food and exceptional service. We understand that sometimes things do not go as expected, and we are committed to addressing any concerns you may have in a fair, timely, and transparent manner.

This Refund Policy governs all transactions made through our website meal-ranchpizza.click and any associated ordering platforms. It sets forth the conditions under which refunds, partial refunds, exchanges, and cancellations may be granted. This policy is governed by applicable United States federal and state consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

We want every customer to be completely satisfied with their order. A refund may be issued under the following circumstances:

• Incorrect Order: You received items that are different from what you ordered.
• Missing Items: One or more items from your order were not included in your delivery or pickup.
• Food Quality Issues: The food delivered was spoiled, undercooked, overcooked, or otherwise not prepared to a satisfactory standard.
• Allergic Reactions Due to Incorrect Preparation: If you specified a dietary requirement or allergy and the order was prepared incorrectly as a result, you may be eligible for a refund.
• Significant Delivery Delays: Your order was delivered significantly later than the estimated delivery time, rendering the food unsatisfactory.
• Order Not Received: Your order was never delivered and cannot be located or verified by our delivery team.
• Duplicate Charges: You were charged more than once for the same order due to a technical or billing error.

All refund requests are subject to review and verification by our customer service team. We reserve the right to request photographic or other evidence to support your claim.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure your refund request can be properly reviewed and processed, all claims must be submitted within the following timeframes:

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

4. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

While we strive to accommodate all reasonable refund requests, the following items and situations are generally not eligible for refunds:

• Change of Mind: Refunds will not be issued simply because you changed your mind about an order after it has been prepared or dispatched.
• Incorrect Order Details Provided by Customer: If an incorrect address, incorrect customization, or wrong items were selected at the time of ordering due to customer error, we are unable to offer a full refund.
• Promotional and Complimentary Items: Free items, promotional offers, or items obtained through loyalty rewards are not eligible for cash refunds.
• Partially Consumed Orders: If more than a reasonable portion of the food has been consumed before a complaint is raised, a full refund may not be granted.
• Delivery Fees: Delivery and service fees are non-refundable unless the order was never delivered.
• Gift Cards and Vouchers: Purchased gift cards and promotional vouchers are non-refundable and have no cash value.
• Requests Beyond the Eligible Timeframe: Any requests submitted after the designated timeframe outlined in Section 3 will not be eligible for refunds.

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

Requesting a refund is simple. Please follow these steps to ensure your request is handled as quickly as possible:

1. Step 1 – Gather Your Order Information
   Locate your order confirmation email or receipt. You will need your order number, the date of purchase, the items ordered, and the total amount charged.
2. Step 2 – Document the Issue
   If applicable, take clear photographs of the incorrect, missing, or unsatisfactory food items. This evidence will help us resolve your request faster.
3. Step 3 – Contact Our Customer Service Team
   Reach out to us using one of the following methods:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Website: meal-ranchpizza.click
4. Step 4 – Provide Details of Your Complaint
   In your message or call, clearly describe the issue, include your order number, attach any supporting photographs, and state your preferred resolution (refund, replacement, or store credit).
5. Step 5 – Wait for Confirmation
   Our customer service team will review your request and respond within 1–2 business days. We may request additional information if necessary.
6. Step 6 – Refund Approval and Processing
   Once your request is reviewed and approved, the refund will be processed according to the timelines set out in Section 6 below.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, the time it takes to reflect in your account will vary depending on your original payment method:

7. Partial Refunds

In certain circumstances, a partial refund may be offered rather than a full refund. Situations in which a partial refund may be applicable include:

• Only a portion of the items in the order were incorrect or missing.
• The food quality issue affected only part of the order.
• The order was partially consumed before the issue was identified.
• A promotional discount or coupon was applied to the original order.
• The delivery was significantly delayed but the food was ultimately received in a consumable condition.

Partial refunds will be calculated based on the value of the affected items and the nature of the issue. Our customer service team will communicate the partial refund amount clearly before processing.

8. Exchange Policy

In some cases, rather than issuing a monetary refund, we may offer to replace or re-prepare your order. An exchange or replacement may be offered in the following situations:

• Incorrect items were delivered and a correction is feasible within a reasonable timeframe.
• Items were missing from your order and can be dispatched promptly.
• Food quality did not meet our standards and a fresh preparation can be made available quickly.

Exchanges and replacements are subject to availability and geographic delivery constraints. If a replacement is not possible or you prefer a monetary refund, our team will process accordingly. We are committed to making every effort to ensure you receive what you paid for.

9. Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change. However, because food orders are prepared quickly after placement, our cancellation window is limited:

9.1 Online and Phone Orders

• Cancellations must be requested within 5 minutes of placing your order to be eligible for a full refund.
• After the 5-minute window, your order may already be in preparation and cancellation may not be possible.
• If the order has already been dispatched for delivery, cancellations will not be accepted.

9.2 Catering and Large Orders

• Catering orders or large group orders require a minimum of 48 hours' notice for cancellation to receive a full refund.
• Cancellations made between 24 and 48 hours before the scheduled time may receive a 50% refund.
• Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled time are generally non-refundable due to the costs already incurred in preparation and ingredient sourcing.

9.3 How to Cancel

To cancel an order, contact us immediately at [email protected] with your order number and reason for cancellation. We will confirm whether the cancellation is possible and initiate the refund if eligible.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

We are committed to resolving all customer concerns amicably and efficiently. If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your refund request, please follow our dispute resolution process:

10.1 Internal Review

If your initial refund request was denied or you believe the resolution was inadequate, you may request a secondary review by contacting our customer service team and asking for a supervisor or escalated review. Please include all relevant documentation and a clear explanation of why you believe the initial decision was incorrect.

10.2 Written Complaint

If the internal review does not resolve your concern, you may submit a formal written complaint to us at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your written complaint within 2 business days and provide a final written response within 10 business days.

10.3 External Dispute Resolution

If you remain unsatisfied after completing our internal dispute resolution process, you have the right to seek external resolution through:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): You may file a complaint with the FTC at www.ftc.gov regarding unfair or deceptive trade practices.
• Your State Attorney General's Office: Most U.S. states have a consumer protection division that handles disputes between consumers and businesses.
• Better Business Bureau (BBB): You may submit a complaint to the BBB at www.bbb.org.
• Credit Card Chargeback: If you paid by credit or debit card and believe you were charged incorrectly or did not receive what was promised, you may contact your card issuer to initiate a chargeback dispute. Please note that initiating a chargeback without first contacting us may delay resolution.

10.4 Governing Law

This Refund Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the applicable laws of the state in which the transaction occurred. Any legal disputes arising from this policy shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts in the United States.

11. Consumer Rights Under U.S. Law

As a customer in the United States, you are protected under various federal and state consumer protection laws. These include, but are not limited to:

• The FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 41 et seq.): Prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce. Our refund and cancellation practices are designed to comply fully with FTC guidelines.
• State Consumer Protection Statutes: Many states have additional consumer protection laws that may provide you with further rights and remedies depending on your state of residence.
• Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA): If you paid using a debit card or electronic payment method, you may have additional protections under federal law regarding unauthorized or erroneous transactions.

Nothing in this Refund Policy is intended to limit or waive any statutory rights you may have as a consumer under applicable United States law.
