Refund Eligibility

We strive to provide high-quality food and excellent service. However, we understand that sometimes issues may arise. You may be eligible for a refund in the following circumstances:

Food Quality Issues

We may provide a refund if:

  • The food delivered is significantly different from what was ordered (wrong items or missing items)
  • The food is unsafe to consume (e.g., contamination, foreign objects)
  • The food quality is significantly below our standards (e.g., undercooked, spoiled)

Delivery Issues

We may provide a refund if:

  • Your order is not delivered at all
  • Your order is delivered more than 60 minutes later than the estimated delivery time provided (excluding circumstances beyond our control like severe weather, traffic incidents, etc.)
  • Your order arrives in poor condition due to improper handling during delivery (e.g., spilled, crushed)

Technical Issues

We may provide a refund if:

  • You were charged multiple times for the same order due to a technical error
  • A technical error on our website or app resulted in an order being placed incorrectly despite your correct input

Special Circumstances

We may consider refunds in other special circumstances on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our customer service team to discuss your specific situation.

Refund Conditions

To be eligible for a refund, the following conditions must be met:

Timing

Refund requests must be submitted within 24 hours of receiving your order or experiencing the issue that is the basis for your refund request.

Evidence

For quality issues, we may request photographic evidence of the problem to help us investigate and improve our services. While this is not always required, providing such evidence can help expedite your refund request.

Order Information

You must provide your order number, date of order, and specific details about the issue when requesting a refund.

First Contact

For delivery issues, you must have attempted to contact us when the issue was first noticed (e.g., when the delivery was significantly delayed) to give us an opportunity to resolve the issue immediately.

Refund Process

If you believe you are eligible for a refund, please follow these steps:

1. Contact Customer Service

Contact our customer service team through one of the following methods:

  • Phone: +449504195730 (Operating hours: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM daily)
  • Email: [email protected]
  • Contact form on our website
  • In-app support feature (if using our mobile app)

2. Provide Required Information

When contacting us, please provide:

  • Your order number
  • Date and time of the order
  • Detailed description of the issue
  • Photos of the affected items (if applicable)
  • Your preferred refund method

3. Review Process

Our customer service team will review your refund request and may:

  • Request additional information if necessary
  • Investigate the issue with relevant departments (e.g., kitchen, delivery team)
  • Make a determination based on our refund policy and the specific circumstances

4. Refund Decision

We will inform you of our decision regarding your refund request within 48 hours of receiving all necessary information. If approved, we will process the refund as described in the "Refund Methods" section below.

Refund Methods

If your refund request is approved, we may offer one or more of the following refund options:

Original Payment Method

Refunds will typically be processed back to the original payment method used for the purchase. This includes:

  • Credit or debit card
  • PayPal
  • Other electronic payment methods

Store Credit

We may offer store credit in the form of a voucher or coupon code that can be used for future purchases. In some cases, we may offer additional value when you choose store credit instead of a direct refund.

Replacement

For issues with specific items, we may offer to replace the affected items rather than providing a monetary refund. This replacement may be delivered with your next order or as a separate delivery.

Partial Refunds

If only part of your order is affected by an issue, we may offer a partial refund for the affected items only.

Refund Processing Time

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

Credit/Debit Card Refunds

Refunds to credit or debit cards are typically processed within 1-3 business days from the date of approval. However, it may take an additional 5-10 business days for the refund to appear on your statement, depending on your card issuer's policies.

PayPal Refunds

Refunds to PayPal accounts are typically processed within 1-2 business days from the date of approval.

Store Credit

Store credit in the form of vouchers or coupon codes will be issued immediately upon approval and sent to your email address on file.

Replacements

The timing for replacement items will be communicated to you when the replacement is approved.

Non-Refundable Items and Situations

While we strive to ensure your satisfaction, there are certain situations where refunds may not be provided:

Personal Preference

We do not provide refunds based solely on personal taste preferences when the item was prepared according to its description and our quality standards.

Delayed Reporting

Issues reported more than 24 hours after receiving the order may not be eligible for a refund.

Customer Error

Errors made by the customer during the ordering process (e.g., selecting the wrong item, providing incorrect delivery information) are generally not eligible for refunds. However, we will evaluate these situations on a case-by-case basis.

Promotional Items

Items received for free as part of a promotion are typically not eligible for refunds.

Third-Party Issues

Issues caused by third-party delivery services (if you did not order directly through our platform) may need to be addressed with the third-party service.

Force Majeure

Delays or issues caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control (e.g., severe weather conditions, natural disasters, significant traffic incidents) may not be eligible for refunds.

Special Promotions and Discounts

For orders placed using promotional codes, discounts, or special offers:

  • If a full refund is issued, the promotional value may not be included in the refund amount
  • For partial refunds of orders that used promotions, the refund will be calculated proportionally based on the actual amount paid
  • Refunded promotional codes or one-time use coupons may not be reissued or extended

Specific terms related to promotions will be communicated in the promotional materials or at the time of purchase.

Cancellation Policy

Our cancellation policy is closely related to our refund policy:

Before Order Confirmation

Orders can typically be canceled without penalty before they have been confirmed by our kitchen. In this case, a full refund will be processed.

After Order Confirmation

Once an order has been confirmed and our kitchen has begun preparation, cancellations may not be possible or may be subject to a partial refund only.

Cancellation Process

To cancel an order, please contact our customer service team immediately via phone at +449504195730. This is the fastest way to process a cancellation.

Quality Guarantee

At MapleSlice, we stand behind the quality of our products. If you are not completely satisfied with the quality of your order, please let us know and we will work to make it right.

Our quality guarantee covers issues related to food preparation, ingredient quality, and order accuracy. It does not cover subjective preferences regarding flavor profiles or spice levels when the item has been prepared according to its menu description.

Dispute Resolution

If you are not satisfied with our decision regarding your refund request, you may request that your case be escalated to a manager for review.

For dispute resolution, please send a detailed email to [email protected] including your order information, the nature of your complaint, and any previous communication with our customer service team.

We are committed to resolving all disputes fairly and in accordance with consumer protection laws in Singapore.
