Introduction
At Intellcentre Coffee Shop, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We believe in delivering the finest quality coffee beans, beverages, and accessories. In rare instances where a customer may be dissatisfied with a purchase, we aim to resolve the issue in a fair and transparent manner. This Refund and Dispute Policy outlines the procedures for refund requests, handling disputes, and how our customers can resolve any concerns regarding their purchases.
This policy applies to all purchases made from Intellcentre Coffee Shop, both in-store and online. By purchasing our products, you agree to the terms outlined in this document.
1. Refund Policy
We understand that sometimes, situations arise where a refund may be necessary. Our refund policy is designed to be clear and fair for all our customers.
1.1 Eligibility for Refunds
A refund may be requested under the following conditions:
- Faulty or Defective Products: If a product you purchased is found to be faulty or defective at the time of delivery or purchase, we will issue a refund or replacement at your discretion.
- Incorrect Orders: If you receive a product that is not as described or is different from what you ordered, we will offer a refund or exchange.
- Damaged Products: If your order arrives damaged due to shipping or handling, we will process a refund or replacement once we confirm the issue.
- Non-Consumable Goods: For products such as coffee accessories, cups, or other merchandise, refunds will be processed only if the product is unopened and unused.
- Return Window: Refund requests must be made within 14 days of the purchase date. Refunds will only be considered if the product is returned in its original, unused, and unopened condition (unless defective).
1.2 Non-Refundable Items
The following items are non-refundable:
- Coffee Beans: Once the coffee beans have been opened or consumed, they cannot be refunded, as they are perishable products.
- Beverages: Drinks that have been prepared and consumed cannot be refunded.
- Discounted or Sale Items: Products purchased on sale or with discounts are typically non-refundable, except in cases of defects or incorrect items being delivered.
- Gift Cards: Gift cards are non-refundable.
1.3 Refund Methods
Once a refund is processed, the amount will be refunded to the original payment method used for the purchase. The refund process may take 5-7 business days, depending on your payment provider or bank.
If you made your purchase in-store and paid with cash, the refund will be processed in cash at the store. Refunds for online purchases will be credited back to the same card or payment method used.
