Refund policy

At CartZA, we aim to provide a seamless food ordering experience for students, whether you're picking up your meal or having it delivered. However, we understand that issues may arise, and we’re here to help. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which you may be eligible for a refund.


1. Eligibility for Refunds

You may request a refund if:

  • The order was not fulfilled (e.g., vendor was closed, item was unavailable)

  • The delivered order is significantly incorrect (e.g., wrong meal, missing items)

  • The order was never delivered and you were available at the listed address

  • You were charged incorrectly due to a technical error


2. Non-Refundable Situations

Refunds will not be issued if:

  • You changed your mind after the order was confirmed

  • You failed to pick up your order within the vendor’s specified window

  • You provided incorrect delivery information or were unavailable to receive it

  • The issue is subjective in nature (e.g., taste or portion size complaints)


3. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund:

  1. Open the CartZA app

  2. Go to Order History

  3. Tap on the relevant order and select "Report a Problem"

  4. Provide a clear description of the issue and attach photos if applicable

You must request a refund within 2 hours of order pickup/delivery to be considered.


4. Refund Processing

  • If approved, refunds will be processed back to your original payment method

  • It may take 3–7 business days for the refund to reflect, depending on your bank or payment provider

In certain cases, we may issue app credit instead of a direct refund.


5. Vendor and Delivery Partner Role

All refund decisions are reviewed by CartZA in collaboration with the relevant vendor or delivery partner. We reserve the right to deny refund requests that do not meet our policy.
