Refund Policy

At Pizza Ranch, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We are committed to delivering fresh, high-quality food with every order. This Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which refunds, exchanges, or cancellations may be requested and processed. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order through our website at ranch-pizzas.world or through any other ordering channel.

By placing an order with Pizza Ranch, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms set forth in this Refund Policy. This policy is governed by the laws of the United States and applicable state consumer protection regulations, including relevant provisions of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act.

1. Our Commitment to Quality

Pizza Ranch takes great pride in preparing fresh, made-to-order food products. Because our menu items are perishable food goods prepared specifically upon receipt of your order, refund eligibility is subject to specific conditions designed to be fair to both our customers and our business. We strongly encourage customers to review their orders carefully before submission to avoid unnecessary complications.

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your order for a legitimate reason covered under this policy, we will work diligently to resolve your concern promptly and fairly.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

A refund request may be considered eligible under the following circumstances:

• Incorrect Order: You received an item that is different from what you ordered, including wrong toppings, wrong size, or wrong items entirely.
• Missing Items: One or more items from your confirmed order were not included in your delivery or pickup order.
• Food Quality Issues: The food received was significantly undercooked, overcooked, spoiled upon delivery, or otherwise unfit for consumption due to a preparation error on our part.
• Damaged Goods: The order arrived in a condition that renders it unsatisfactory or inedible due to packaging failure or handling errors attributable to Pizza Ranch.
• Duplicate Charges: You were charged more than once for the same order due to a technical error on our payment processing system.
• Order Never Received: A delivery order was confirmed and charged but was never delivered to the address provided, and this is confirmed by our records.

To be eligible for a refund, you must report the issue within the timeframes specified in Section 3 of this policy. Requests submitted after the applicable deadline may not be honored.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

Timeliness is essential when dealing with perishable food products. The following timeframes apply to all refund requests:

We are unable to process refund requests submitted outside of these timeframes, except in exceptional circumstances at our sole discretion. If you believe your situation warrants special consideration, please contact us directly and explain your circumstances in detail.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

Certain circumstances and items are not eligible for a refund. Please review the following carefully:

• Change of Mind: Refunds will not be issued simply because you changed your mind about an order after it has been prepared or is in transit.
• Customization Errors by Customer: If the incorrect order was the result of a customer entering wrong customization details (e.g., incorrect toppings selected by the customer during checkout), no refund will be issued.
• Partially Consumed Food: Items that have been substantially consumed will not be refunded unless a quality concern is identified in the uneaten portion and reported within the applicable timeframe.
• Promotional or Discounted Items: Items purchased as part of a limited-time promotion, bundle deal, or using a discount code are non-refundable unless there is a demonstrable quality issue.
• Delivery Fees: Delivery fees are non-refundable once a delivery driver has been dispatched, regardless of whether a refund on food items is approved.
• Third-Party Platform Orders: Orders placed through third-party delivery platforms (e.g., DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub) are subject to those platforms' refund policies. Pizza Ranch cannot directly process refunds for orders placed through third-party services.
• Tip Amounts: Tips paid to delivery drivers are non-refundable under any circumstances.
• Gift Cards: Gift card purchases are final and non-refundable.

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

To submit a refund request with Pizza Ranch, please follow these steps carefully:

1. Step 1 — Gather Your Information: Before contacting us, have the following ready: your order confirmation number, the date and time of your order, the items in question, and a clear description of the issue.
2. Step 2 — Document the Issue: If possible, take clear photographs of the incorrect, missing, or unsatisfactory item(s). Visual evidence significantly accelerates the review process.
3. Step 3 — Contact Pizza Ranch: Reach out to our customer service team using one of the following methods within the applicable timeframe:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Website: ranch-pizzas.world
4. Step 4 — Submit Your Request: In your message, include your full name, contact information, order number, a description of the problem, and any photographs or supporting documentation. The more detail you provide, the faster we can resolve your issue.
5. Step 5 — Await Confirmation: Our customer service team will acknowledge your request within 1–2 business days and may follow up with additional questions if needed.
6. Step 6 — Resolution: Once your request has been reviewed and approved, we will notify you of the approved refund amount and the method by which the refund will be issued. If your request is denied, we will provide an explanation.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, the time it takes for funds to be returned to you depends on your original payment method:

Please note that while we process refunds promptly on our end, the actual timing of funds appearing in your account is subject to your financial institution's processing times, which are beyond our control. If you have not received your refund within the timeframe listed above, we recommend contacting your bank or payment provider before reaching out to us.

7. Partial Refunds

In certain situations, only a partial refund may be granted. Partial refunds may be offered in the following circumstances:

• Only one item out of a multi-item order was incorrect or missing, and the remainder of the order was satisfactory.
• A food quality issue affected only a portion of an order and evidence supports a partial concern rather than a full order failure.
• The customer partially consumed a food item before discovering an issue, making a full refund inappropriate.
• A promotional discount was applied to the original order, and the refund is calculated based on the actual amount paid for the affected item(s).
• Delivery fees or service charges were applicable and are being withheld from the refund total per the terms of Section 4.

The exact amount of any partial refund will be determined at the discretion of our customer service team based on a thorough review of your case. We aim to be fair and transparent in all partial refund decisions.

8. Exchange Policy

Pizza Ranch offers exchanges as an alternative to monetary refunds in qualifying situations. An exchange means we will prepare and deliver or make available for pickup a replacement item at no additional charge to you.

Exchanges are available under the following conditions:

• You received an incorrect item and we are able to prepare the correct item within a reasonable timeframe.
• A food quality issue is confirmed and you prefer a replacement to a refund.
• The exchange request is made within 2 hours of receiving your original order.

Please note the following limitations on exchanges:

• Exchanges are subject to item availability at the time of the request.
• Replacement items will be of equal or comparable value to the original item. Upgrades to higher-value items may require an additional charge.
• Exchanges apply to food items only and do not cover delivery fees, service charges, or tips.
• In-store exchanges must be handled directly at the Pizza Ranch location where the original order was placed.

9. Cancellation Policy

Due to the nature of freshly prepared food, cancellations are time-sensitive. Please review our cancellation terms below:

9.1 Online and Phone Orders

You may cancel an order within 5 minutes of placing it, provided that food preparation has not yet begun. To cancel, contact us immediately by email at [email protected] or call us directly.

Once preparation of your order has begun, cancellation is no longer possible and no refund will be issued. Given that our food is prepared quickly upon receipt of orders, we strongly encourage customers to review their orders carefully before finalizing checkout.

9.2 Scheduled / Pre-Orders

For pre-orders or orders scheduled for a future date or time, cancellations may be accepted up to 1 hour before the scheduled preparation time. Cancellations made within 1 hour of the scheduled preparation time will not be eligible for a refund.

9.3 Catering Orders

Catering orders require a longer notice period due to the scale of preparation involved. Catering order cancellations must be submitted at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled delivery or pickup time to receive a full refund. Cancellations made between 24–48 hours in advance may receive a partial refund of up to 50%. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled time are non-refundable.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your refund request, you have the right to escalate your concern through our formal dispute resolution process.

10.1 Internal Escalation

If you believe your refund request was incorrectly denied or that the offered resolution was inadequate, you may request an escalation review by contacting us at [email protected] and including "Escalation Request" in the subject line. Please provide your original case reference number and a clear explanation of why you are disputing the initial decision. Our management team will review escalated disputes within 5 to 7 business days and provide a final decision in writing.

10.2 Chargeback Rights

As a consumer in the United States, you have the right to initiate a chargeback through your credit card issuer or financial institution if you believe a charge is unauthorized or a legitimate dispute has not been resolved. We encourage customers to exhaust our internal resolution process before initiating a chargeback, as chargebacks can delay resolution. However, we fully respect your legal right to pursue this option.

10.3 Consumer Protection Resources

Consumers in the United States may also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov or with their state attorney general's office if they believe their consumer rights have been violated. California residents may also exercise rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) where applicable.

11. Account Credits as Refund Alternative

In certain cases, we may offer store credit or loyalty points as an alternative to a monetary refund. Account credits are applied directly to your Pizza Ranch account and can be used toward future orders on ranch-pizzas.world. Account credits:

• Do not expire for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.
• Are non-transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash.
• May be used in combination with other promotions unless otherwise specified.
• Are applied automatically at checkout when your account is logged in.

Accepting an account credit as resolution does not waive your rights to pursue further remedies if the underlying issue is not properly addressed.

12. Policy Amendments

Pizza Ranch reserves the right to modify or update this Refund Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our services after any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our website or via email where feasible.
