Refund Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2024

1. Introduction

At Crust Pizza Australia, we are committed to providing high-quality products and exceptional customer service. We understand that sometimes issues may arise, and we have established this Refund Policy to ensure our customers know what to expect in such situations.

This Refund Policy applies to all orders placed through our website, mobile application, by phone, or in-store. By placing an order with us, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

2. Customer Satisfaction Guarantee

Your satisfaction is our priority. If you are not completely satisfied with your order for any reason, please contact us as soon as possible so we can make it right. Depending on the circumstances, we may offer:

  • A replacement of the same product
  • An alternative product of equal value
  • Store credit for future purchases
  • A partial or full refund to your original payment method

The resolution offered will depend on the nature of the issue, when it was reported, and other relevant factors as determined by our customer service team.

3. Conditions for Refunds

We may issue refunds under the following conditions:

3.1 Product Quality Issues

If your order does not meet our quality standards (e.g., undercooked, overcooked, incorrect toppings), we will offer a suitable resolution, which may include a full or partial refund.

3.2 Missing or Incorrect Items

If items are missing from your order or you received incorrect items, we will offer a refund for the affected items or arrange for the correct items to be delivered to you, depending on your preference and our ability to make a timely delivery.

3.3 Delivery Issues

If your order is excessively delayed (more than 30 minutes beyond the estimated delivery time) or not delivered at all, you may be eligible for a full refund. For minor delays, we may offer partial compensation in the form of store credit or a discount on a future order.

3.4 Technical Issues

If you experience technical issues with our website or mobile application that result in duplicate orders or other ordering problems, we will work with you to resolve the issue and process appropriate refunds.

3.5 Allergic Reactions

If you experience an allergic reaction to one of our products despite having informed us of your allergy in advance, please seek medical attention immediately if necessary, and then contact our customer service team. We take food allergies very seriously and will investigate such incidents thoroughly.

4. Refund Request Process

To request a refund or other resolution, please follow these steps:

  1. Contact Us Promptly: Notify us of the issue as soon as possible, preferably within 24 hours of receiving your order. You can contact us through:
    • Phone: +445226290280
    • Email: [email protected]
    • The "Contact Us" form on our website
    • In-person at the store where you placed your order (for in-store purchases)
  2. Provide Order Details: When contacting us, please provide your:
    • Order number or receipt
    • Date and time of purchase
    • Store location (for in-store purchases or pick-up orders)
    • Description of the issue
    • Photos of the issue, if applicable and possible
  3. Customer Service Review: Our customer service team will review your request and may contact you for additional information if needed.
  4. Resolution: We will inform you of our decision and the proposed resolution within 2 business days of receiving your request.

5. Refund Processing Timeframes

Once a refund has been approved, the processing time depends on your payment method:

  • Credit/Debit Cards: Refunds to credit or debit cards are typically processed within 1-2 business days from the approval date. However, it may take an additional 3-10 business days for the refund to appear on your statement, depending on your card issuer's policies.
  • PayPal: Refunds to PayPal accounts are usually processed within 1-2 business days.
  • Other Electronic Payment Methods: Refunds to other electronic payment methods (e.g., AfterPay, Zip) typically follow the timeframes established by those payment providers.
  • Cash Refunds: For orders paid in cash, refunds will typically be issued in the form of store credit or by other means as agreed upon with the customer.

6. Exceptions and Limitations

6.1 Time Limitations

Refund requests should be submitted within 24 hours of receiving your order for food quality issues. Requests submitted after this timeframe will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be limited to store credit rather than monetary refunds.

6.2 Non-Refundable Items and Circumstances

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

  • Personal preference issues (e.g., disliking the taste of a correctly prepared item)
  • Consumption of a significant portion of the order before reporting an issue
  • Orders that have been tampered with after delivery
  • Special promotional items marked as non-refundable
  • Issues arising from customer-provided incorrect delivery information

6.3 Force Majeure

We may limit or modify our refund policy during circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as extreme weather events, natural disasters, or other emergency situations that affect our ability to process or deliver orders normally.

7. Gift Cards and Promotional Credits

7.1 Gift Cards

Gift cards are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for cash, except where required by law. Lost or stolen gift cards may be replaced with proof of purchase and at our discretion.

7.2 Promotional Credits and Discounts

Promotional credits, discount codes, and similar offers have no cash value and are not refundable. If an order paid partly with promotional credits qualifies for a refund, only the portion paid with money will be refunded in the original payment form, while the promotional credit portion may be reissued as a new credit.

8. Legal Rights

This Refund Policy does not affect your statutory rights under Australian Consumer Law. Consumers in Australia have certain rights which cannot be excluded, including guarantees as to the acceptable quality and fitness for purpose of products. Nothing in this policy limits those rights.

Under Australian Consumer Law, you are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

9. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our website. It is your responsibility to review this Refund Policy periodically for changes. Your continued use of our services following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
