Refund Policy
Last Updated: June 1, 2024
At Freshslice Pizza, we are committed to ensuring your satisfaction with our products and services. This Refund Policy outlines our procedures for returns, refunds, and cancellations related to orders placed through our website freshslicepizza.ca or through our mobile ordering system.
1. Order Cancellations
1.1 Cancellation Time Frame
Due to the nature of our food products and our immediate preparation process upon receiving an order, cancellation options are limited:
- Pre-preparation Stage: Orders may be canceled with a full refund if the cancellation is made before our staff begins preparing your food. Typically, this is within the first 2-3 minutes after order confirmation.
- During Preparation: Once your order has entered the preparation stage, cancellations may be subject to partial charges based on the preparation progress.
- Post-preparation: Orders that have been fully prepared cannot be canceled, as the food items have already been made to your specifications.
1.2 How to Cancel an Order
To cancel an order, please:
- Call the specific Freshslice Pizza location where you placed your order immediately
- Provide your order number and name
- Request a cancellation as quickly as possible
For online orders, you may also be able to cancel through your account on our website if the order is still in the 'Pending' status.
