Refund Policy

At Dions, we are committed to providing our customers with a high-quality food ordering and delivery experience. We understand that issues may occasionally arise, and this Refund Policy outlines the conditions under which we will process refunds, exchanges, cancellations, and dispute resolutions. Please read this policy carefully before placing an order through our website at delivery-dions.rest.

By placing an order through our platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Refund Policy. This policy is governed by applicable United States consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, and any applicable state regulations.

1. Eligibility Conditions for Refunds

Not all orders automatically qualify for a refund. To be eligible for a full or partial refund, one or more of the following conditions must be met:

• Incorrect Order: You received an item or items that are different from what you ordered.
• Missing Items: Part of your order was not delivered or included in your package.
• Poor Food Quality: The food delivered was spoiled, undercooked, overcooked, or otherwise not fit for consumption due to a fault on our part.
• Damaged Packaging: The packaging of the food item was severely damaged during delivery, resulting in the food being inedible or unsafe to consume.
• Allergic Reaction Due to Mislabeling: If a product contains allergens that were not disclosed on our menu or your order confirmation, and you suffer an adverse reaction as a result.
• Non-Delivery: Your order was confirmed and charged but never delivered, and you did not cancel it voluntarily.
• Duplicate Charges: You were charged more than once for the same order due to a technical error on our platform.

Refund eligibility will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Dions reserves the right to request photographic evidence, order confirmation details, or any other documentation to support a refund claim.

2. Timeframes for Refund Requests

To ensure your refund request is processed efficiently, please adhere to the following timeframes:

Refund requests submitted outside of these timeframes may not be accepted. We strongly encourage customers to inspect their orders upon delivery and report any issues promptly.

3. Non-Refundable Items and Services

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

• Change of Mind: If you simply decide you no longer want the food after it has been prepared or delivered, we are unable to issue a refund.
• Customization Errors by Customer: If incorrect customization options (e.g., toppings, sizes, special instructions) were selected by the customer at the time of ordering.
• Orders Consumed or Partially Consumed: Refunds will not be issued for items that have been consumed or significantly eaten before a complaint is made, unless a serious quality concern is documented.
• Late Delivery Due to External Factors: Delays caused by traffic, severe weather, natural disasters, or other circumstances beyond our control do not qualify for refunds.
• Promotional or Discounted Items: Items purchased using promotional codes, discount vouchers, or special offers may not be eligible for refunds unless there is a clear error on our part.
• Delivery Fees: Delivery fees are generally non-refundable once a delivery attempt has been made, unless the non-delivery is verified as our fault.
• Service Fees and Platform Fees: Any applicable platform or service fees charged at the time of order are non-refundable.

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

Follow these steps to submit a refund request with Dions:

1. Gather Your Information: Before reaching out, make sure you have the following ready:
   • Your order confirmation number
   • The date and time the order was placed
   • A clear description of the issue
   • Photographic evidence (if applicable, especially for quality or damage issues)
2. Contact Us: Reach out to our customer support team using one of the following methods:
   • Email: [email protected]
   • Website: delivery-dions.rest
3. Provide Details: In your message, include your full name, contact information, order number, the item(s) in question, and a description of the problem. Attach any supporting photos or documentation.
4. Await Acknowledgment: Our team will acknowledge receipt of your refund request within 24 to 48 business hours.
5. Review and Decision: Our team will review the details and may follow up with additional questions. A decision will be made within 3 to 5 business days of receiving all necessary information.
6. Refund Issued: If your refund is approved, it will be processed using the original payment method or as store credit, depending on your preference and eligibility.

5. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method

Once a refund has been approved, please allow the following processing times depending on how your original payment was made:

Please note that while we process refunds promptly on our end, your financial institution or payment processor may take additional time to reflect the credit in your account. Dions is not responsible for any delays caused by third-party payment processors or banking institutions.

6. Partial Refunds

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

• Only a portion of your order was missing or incorrect, and the rest was delivered as expected.
• The food quality was partially acceptable — some items were satisfactory while others were not.
• The customer consumed part of the order before discovering an issue that would otherwise qualify for a full refund.
• A discount or promotional credit was applied to the original order, and the refund amount will reflect the net amount paid after any promotions.
• The delivery arrived significantly late, but the food was still delivered and consumed.

The specific amount of a partial refund will be determined by our customer service team based on the nature and extent of the issue reported. We aim to be fair and reasonable in all partial refund decisions.

7. Exchange Policy

Due to the perishable nature of food products, traditional item exchanges are generally not feasible once an order has been delivered. However, Dions may offer the following alternatives in lieu of a cash refund:

• Replacement Order: In cases where an incorrect item was delivered, we may offer to send the correct item at no additional charge, subject to availability and delivery feasibility based on your location and the time of the request.
• Store Credit: Instead of a monetary refund, customers may elect to receive store credit of equal value to be used on a future order through delivery-dions.rest.
• Discount on Next Order: In minor quality-related issues, we may offer a discount voucher for a future order as a goodwill gesture.

Exchange or replacement requests must be submitted within the same timeframes applicable to refund requests (see Section 2). Exchanges are subject to the same eligibility conditions as refunds and are assessed individually by our team.

8. Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change. Below is our cancellation policy, which varies depending on the stage of your order at the time of cancellation:

8.1 Orders Not Yet Accepted by Restaurant

If your order has been placed but not yet accepted by the restaurant, you may cancel it within 2 minutes of placing the order for a full refund. After this window, cancellations may not be possible as the restaurant may have begun preparation.

8.2 Orders Currently Being Prepared

Once a restaurant has accepted and begun preparing your order, cancellations are generally not permitted. If a cancellation is approved under exceptional circumstances, a partial refund may be issued at Dions' discretion, deducting any preparation costs already incurred.

8.3 Orders Out for Delivery

Orders that are already out for delivery cannot be cancelled. If the order cannot be delivered (e.g., incorrect address provided by the customer), the order will be considered completed and no refund will be issued.

8.4 How to Cancel an Order

To request a cancellation, contact us immediately via email at [email protected] or through our website at delivery-dions.rest. Provide your order number, name, and the reason for cancellation. Cancellation approvals are not guaranteed and are subject to the stage of the order.

9. Dispute Resolution Process

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your refund request, Dions provides a structured dispute resolution process to ensure fairness and transparency.

9.1 Step 1 — Internal Escalation

If you believe your initial refund request was handled incorrectly, you may request an escalation to a senior customer service representative. Submit your escalation request to [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Dispute Escalation" and include your original case or ticket number.

9.2 Step 2 — Management Review

Escalated disputes will be reviewed by our management team within 5 to 7 business days. We will provide a written response outlining our final decision and the basis for that decision.

9.3 Step 3 — External Options

If you remain unsatisfied after our internal review, you retain the right to pursue the following external options:

• Credit Card Chargeback: If you paid by credit card, you may contact your card issuer to initiate a chargeback process. Note that we reserve the right to contest chargebacks that we determine to be unfounded based on our records.
• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): You may file a complaint with the FTC at www.ftc.gov if you believe our practices violate federal consumer protection laws.
• State Consumer Protection Agency: You may also contact your state's consumer protection office for assistance and guidance on your rights under state law.
• Better Business Bureau (BBB): Complaints may be submitted to the BBB for mediation at www.bbb.org.

10. Fraud Prevention

Dions takes fraudulent refund claims seriously. Any customer found to be submitting false, misleading, or exaggerated refund claims may have their account suspended or permanently banned from our platform. We reserve the right to report fraudulent activity to the appropriate legal authorities and may pursue legal remedies as permitted by applicable United States law.

We track refund request patterns and order histories to detect abuse of our refund system. Customers with an unusually high frequency of refund claims may be subject to additional verification requirements.

11. Policy Updates

Dions reserves the right to update or modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon publication on our website at delivery-dions.rest. We encourage customers to review this policy periodically to stay informed of any updates. Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
