Refund Policy

At Pizza Luce, we are committed to delivering a satisfying dining and ordering experience to every customer. We understand that sometimes things do not go as planned, and this Refund Policy outlines your rights, our responsibilities, and the procedures we follow when addressing refund and cancellation requests. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order through our website at pizzaluce-eat.click.

1. Our Commitment to Customer Satisfaction

Pizza Luce takes pride in the quality of our food, ingredients, and service. Every order is prepared with care to meet our standards. However, if you receive an order that does not meet your expectations due to an error on our part, we are dedicated to making it right. This policy applies to all orders placed through our website pizzaluce-eat.click or any associated online ordering platform operated by Pizza Luce.

This Refund Policy is governed by applicable United States consumer protection laws, including regulations enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the FTC Act, as well as any applicable state laws. If you are located in California, additional rights may apply to you under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and California consumer protection statutes.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

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

• Your order was confirmed and paid for through pizzaluce-eat.click or our official ordering platform.
• The food item(s) you received were incorrect, missing, or significantly different from what was described on our menu.
• The food item(s) were of unacceptable quality, including being undercooked, spoiled, or containing foreign objects.
• Your order was not delivered within a reasonable timeframe and was not received at all.
• A duplicate charge was applied to your payment method due to a technical error.
• You canceled your order within the eligible cancellation window (see Section 8).

Refund requests that fall outside of these conditions may still be reviewed on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of Pizza Luce management.

3. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure prompt resolution, we ask that all refund requests be submitted within the following timeframes:

Refund requests submitted after these timeframes may not be honored. We strongly encourage customers to inspect their orders upon receipt and contact us immediately if any issue is identified.

4. Non-Refundable Items and Services

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

• Orders that have been fully delivered, received, and consumed without issue reported at the time of delivery.
• Items where the customer selected incorrect customizations or toppings during the ordering process.
• Delivery fees and service charges, unless the order was not delivered at all due to our error.
• Promotional discounts, vouchers, or loyalty rewards applied to an order — these cannot be refunded as cash value.
• Orders canceled after food preparation has already begun.
• Partial consumption of a food item where a complaint is raised after a significant portion has been eaten.
• Issues arising from incorrect delivery address information provided by the customer.
• Delays caused by circumstances beyond our control, including severe weather, traffic conditions, or third-party delivery partner issues.

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

Follow the steps below to submit a refund request to Pizza Luce:

1. Gather Your Order Information: Before contacting us, have the following details ready:
   • Your full name
   • Order confirmation number
   • Date and time of your order
   • Items ordered and the issue experienced
   • Payment method used
2. Document the Issue: If your complaint involves food quality, incorrect items, or missing items, please take clear photographs of the items received. Visual evidence helps us resolve your request more quickly and accurately.
3. Contact Our Customer Support Team: Reach out to us through one of the following channels:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Website: pizzaluce-eat.click
   Include your order details, a description of the problem, and any supporting photographs in your message.
4. Receive Acknowledgment: Our customer support team will acknowledge your request within 1–2 business days. We may follow up with additional questions to better understand your situation.
5. Review and Decision: Pizza Luce will review your claim and notify you of our decision within 3–5 business days of receiving your complete request. Approved refunds will be processed promptly according to the payment method used.
6. Receive Your Refund: If your refund is approved, it will be issued to your original payment method within the timeframes specified in Section 6.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund is approved by Pizza Luce, processing times may vary depending on your payment method:

Please note that while Pizza Luce processes refunds promptly upon approval, the actual time for funds to appear in your account may be subject to your bank's or financial institution's processing timelines, which are outside of our control.

If you have not received your refund within the timeframes listed above, we recommend first checking your bank account or payment application, then contacting your bank or card issuer. If the issue persists, please contact us at [email protected].

7. Partial Refunds

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

• Only some items in your order were incorrect, missing, or of poor quality — a refund will be issued for the affected items only.
• An order was partially consumed before a quality issue was discovered — a refund may be issued for the remaining portion.
• A promotional discount was applied to the order — the refund amount may reflect the discounted price paid rather than the full menu price.
• The issue reported is minor and does not warrant a full refund in the assessment of our team, such as a minor topping discrepancy on an otherwise acceptable order.

All partial refund decisions are made at the discretion of Pizza Luce, and we strive to be fair and reasonable in every case. You will be notified of the approved refund amount before it is processed.

8. Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change. Our cancellation policy is as follows:

8.1 Eligible Cancellations

You may cancel your order and receive a full refund if you contact us within 5 minutes of placing your order and before food preparation has begun. Given the nature of fresh food preparation, our kitchen staff begins working on orders quickly, so prompt action is essential.

8.2 Cancellations After Preparation Has Begun

If your order has already entered the preparation stage at the time of your cancellation request, we are unable to issue a refund. However, depending on the circumstances, we may offer store credit or a partial refund at our discretion.

8.3 Cancellations for Delivery Orders

For delivery orders, cancellations requested after the order has been dispatched to a delivery driver will not be eligible for a refund. If you refuse delivery upon arrival, this will be treated as a standard cancellation after dispatch and will not qualify for a refund.

8.4 How to Cancel

To cancel an order, contact us immediately via email at [email protected] with your order number and cancellation request. We recommend calling any direct contact number listed on our website for the fastest response during business hours.

9. Exchange Policy

Due to the perishable nature of food products, Pizza Luce does not offer direct exchanges of food items after they have been delivered or picked up. However, if you received an incorrect item or an item of unacceptable quality, we may offer the following resolutions:

• Replacement Order: In cases of confirmed errors on our part, we may offer to send a replacement item or order at no charge. Availability is subject to our operating hours and delivery capacity.
• Store Credit: As an alternative to a monetary refund, we may offer store credit that can be applied to a future order with Pizza Luce.
• Full Refund: If a replacement or store credit is not acceptable or feasible, a full or partial monetary refund will be issued as described in this policy.

The resolution offered will depend on the specific circumstances of your complaint and will be determined following a review of your request by our customer support team.

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 the following dispute resolution process:

10.1 Internal Escalation

Request that your case be reviewed by a Pizza Luce manager or supervisor. You can do this by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Dispute Escalation" and including your original case or order reference number. A senior member of our team will review your case and respond within 5 business days.

10.2 Chargeback Rights

As a consumer in the United States, you have the right to dispute charges with your bank or credit card issuer in certain circumstances. If you believe a charge was unauthorized or fraudulent, you may initiate a chargeback through your financial institution. We encourage customers to first attempt to resolve issues directly with us before initiating a chargeback, as we are committed to resolving disputes fairly.

10.3 Consumer Protection Agencies

If your dispute remains unresolved, you may contact the following agencies for assistance:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): www.ftc.gov
• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): www.consumerfinance.gov
• Your applicable state attorney general's office for state-level consumer protection concerns.
• If you are a California resident, additional protections are available under the California Consumer Protection Act and through the California Department of Consumer Affairs.

10.4 Governing Law

This Refund Policy and any disputes arising from it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States. Any legal proceedings shall be conducted in the appropriate jurisdiction based on the location of the business.

11. Fraudulent Refund Claims

Pizza Luce reserves the right to refuse refund requests that we reasonably believe to be fraudulent, abusive, or made in bad faith. This includes, but is not limited to, repeated refund requests from the same customer without legitimate cause, claims made with falsified evidence, or patterns of behavior consistent with refund abuse. We may suspend or terminate accounts associated with fraudulent refund activity.

12. Changes to This Policy

Pizza Luce reserves the right to update or modify this Refund Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on our website at pizzaluce-eat.click with a revised effective date.
