Refund Policy

At Green Lantern Pizza, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We take pride in delivering fresh, high-quality food to every customer. This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds, replacements, or credits may be issued for orders placed through our website at green-laternpizza.click or through any other ordering channel we operate. Please read this policy carefully before placing your order.

1. General Overview

Because our products are perishable food items prepared fresh upon order, our refund policy is necessarily different from standard retail refund policies. We evaluate each refund request on a case-by-case basis and strive to resolve all issues fairly and promptly. By placing an order with Green Lantern Pizza, you agree to the terms set forth in this Refund Policy.

This policy applies to all purchases made through our website, mobile platform, telephone orders, or in-store purchases. It is governed by applicable United States consumer protection laws, including regulations enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) under the FTC Act.

2. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

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

• Wrong Order Received: You received items that are different from what you ordered (e.g., wrong toppings, wrong size, wrong crust type).
• Missing Items: One or more items from your order were not included in your delivery or pickup bag.
• Food Quality Issues: The food you received was demonstrably undercooked, overcooked, spoiled, or otherwise not meeting reasonable quality standards.
• Allergic Ingredients Present: Your order contained an ingredient you specifically requested to be omitted due to an allergy or dietary restriction, and this was clearly noted at the time of ordering.
• Order Not Delivered: Your delivery order was not received within a reasonable time window and cannot be confirmed as delivered by our delivery staff or third-party delivery partner.
• Duplicate Charges: You were charged more than once for the same order due to a technical or processing error.
• Significant Delay: Your order arrived significantly later than the estimated delivery time, rendering the food unusable or unsatisfactory.

3. Non-Refundable Items and Situations

The following situations are generally not eligible for a refund:

• Orders where the customer simply changed their mind after the food has been prepared or delivered.
• Customized orders where the customer provided incorrect instructions at the time of ordering.
• Promotional, discounted, or complimentary items received as part of a special deal or loyalty program.
• Delivery fees and service charges, unless the order was never delivered.
• Orders that have been partially consumed, unless the quality issue was discovered upon consumption of the first portion.
• Requests made beyond the eligible timeframe (see Section 4 below).
• Issues resulting from incorrect delivery address information provided by the customer.
• Items damaged or rendered unsatisfactory due to actions taken by the customer after delivery.
• Gift cards and store credits already redeemed.

4. Timeframes for Refund Requests

Given the nature of our perishable products, all refund requests must be submitted within the following timeframes:

Requests submitted outside these timeframes may be declined at our sole discretion. We strongly encourage customers to inspect their orders immediately upon receipt.

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

To submit a refund request, please follow these steps:

1. Gather Your Information: Before contacting us, please have the following ready:
   • Your full name and contact information
   • Your order number or confirmation number
   • The date and time of your order
   • A description of the issue you experienced
   • Photographs of the item(s) in question, if applicable (strongly recommended for quality issues)
2. Contact Us: Reach out to our customer service team using one of the following methods:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Website: green-laternpizza.click
3. Submit Your Claim: Provide all relevant details and supporting evidence. Incomplete submissions may delay the processing of your request.
4. Await Confirmation: You will receive an acknowledgment of your refund request within 1 business day of submission.
5. Review and Decision: Our team will review your claim and notify you of our decision within 3 to 5 business days. We may contact you for additional information during this period.
6. Refund Issued: If your refund is approved, it will be processed according to the timeframes outlined in Section 6 below.

6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

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

Please note that while we process refunds promptly on our end, the actual time for funds to appear in your account may vary depending on your financial institution or payment provider. Green Lantern Pizza is not responsible for delays caused by banks or third-party payment processors.

In some cases, we may offer a store credit as an alternative to a monetary refund. Store credits are applied to your Green Lantern Pizza account and can be used toward future orders.

7. Partial Refunds

In certain situations, a partial refund may be offered rather than a full refund. Partial refunds may apply when:

• Only a portion of your order was incorrect or unsatisfactory.
• A single item out of a multi-item order was missing or of poor quality.
• A quality issue affected only part of your meal (e.g., one side dish out of an entire order).
• You accepted and consumed a significant portion of the food before identifying the issue.
• A discount, promotional credit, or coupon was applied to the original order.

The amount of a partial refund will reflect the value of the affected item(s) minus any applicable discounts or credits already applied. Our customer service team will calculate and communicate the partial refund amount at the time of approval.

8. Exchange Policy

Due to the nature of freshly prepared food, traditional product exchanges are not always feasible. However, we do offer the following alternatives in appropriate situations:

• Replacement Order: If you received the wrong item or a significantly substandard product, we may offer to prepare and send a replacement order at no additional charge. Replacement orders are subject to availability and our standard delivery or pickup timelines.
• Remake Policy: For pickup orders, if a quality issue is identified at the time of pickup, we may offer to remake the item on the spot, subject to kitchen capacity and wait times.
• Order Credit: In lieu of a physical replacement, we may issue a credit to your account equal to the value of the affected item(s) for use on a future order.

To request a replacement or exchange, please contact us using the same steps outlined in Section 5. All exchange requests are subject to availability and must be submitted within the timeframes listed in Section 4.

9. Cancellation Policy

We begin preparing your order shortly after it is placed to ensure fresh, timely delivery. Therefore, our ability to accommodate cancellations is limited.

9.1 Cancellations Before Preparation Begins

If you wish to cancel your order, you must do so within 5 minutes of placing it. Orders canceled within this window will receive a full refund to the original payment method. To request an immediate cancellation, please call us directly or use the cancellation option on our website if available.

9.2 Cancellations After Preparation Has Begun

Once your order has entered the preparation stage, cancellation may not be possible. In such cases:

• We will attempt to stop preparation if contacted promptly, but this cannot be guaranteed.
• If preparation cannot be stopped, a full refund will generally not be available.
• A store credit may be offered at our discretion depending on the circumstances.

9.3 Cancellations Due to Operational Issues

If Green Lantern Pizza must cancel your order due to ingredient unavailability, operational issues, or circumstances beyond our control, you will receive a full refund to your original payment method, along with a notification explaining the reason for cancellation.

9.4 Pre-Orders and Scheduled Orders

For advance or scheduled orders (e.g., catering or large group orders), cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the scheduled preparation time to be eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled time may be subject to a cancellation fee of up to 25% of the total order value to cover ingredient and preparation costs already incurred.

10. Dispute Resolution Process

We make every effort to resolve refund-related concerns quickly and fairly. However, if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your refund request, the following dispute resolution process applies:

10.1 Internal Escalation

If you believe your refund request was incorrectly denied or the resolution offered was unsatisfactory, you may request an escalation to a senior customer service representative or manager. To escalate, please email [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Dispute Escalation" and include your original order number, previous case reference (if applicable), and a detailed explanation of your concern. We will respond within 5 business days.

10.2 Chargeback Rights

As a consumer in the United States, you retain the right to dispute a charge with your credit card issuer or bank under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) or applicable payment network rules. We encourage customers to attempt to resolve disputes directly with us before initiating a chargeback, as we are committed to finding a fair resolution. However, we respect your legal right to pursue this option if internal resolution is not satisfactory.

10.3 Consumer Protection Agencies

If you believe our practices are unfair or deceptive, you may file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov or with your state's consumer protection office. We are committed to operating in full compliance with all applicable federal and state consumer protection laws.

10.4 Informal Resolution

Before pursuing formal legal action, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally through good-faith negotiation. Please contact us at [email protected] to initiate informal resolution discussions. We will make every reasonable effort to address your concerns.
