PezeA Shipping and Delivery Policy
Effective Date: 01 Jun 2025
Entity: OmniFlare Nexus (PezeA product)

  1. Coverage and Service Areas

  • PezeA provides on-demand, hyperlocal delivery for food and beverages within defined serviceable zones visible in the app at checkout.

  • Serviceability depends on restaurant operating hours, delivery partner availability, traffic/weather conditions, and local regulations.

  • Certain locations (e.g., high-security zones, restricted campuses, or gated areas without access permissions) may be unserviceable; the app will indicate if an address is out of zone.

  1. Order Processing and Handling Time

  • Orders are dispatched to the restaurant immediately after placement; preparation typically begins upon acceptance by the restaurant.

  • Typical handling time (prep + assignment) ranges from 10–25 minutes depending on cuisine, order size, and partner load.

  • During peak hours, festivals, or extreme weather, handling times may be longer; live ETAs are shown in-app and updated in real time.

  1. Delivery Timelines and ETAs

  • Live ETA shown in-app reflects current restaurant prep and real-time rider location; most deliveries complete within 30–60 minutes from order placement in serviceable areas.

  • ETAs are estimates and not guaranteed; delays may occur due to prep time changes, traffic, weather, or access constraints.

  • If delays exceed a reasonable threshold beyond the promised window, users may raise a request for fee waivers or refunds per the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

  1. Delivery Fees and Surge

  • Delivery fees vary by distance, time of day, demand (surge), and promotions; the exact fee is displayed before checkout.

  • Additional fees may apply for long-distance, multi-restaurant, or special handling orders; all fees are itemized at checkout.

  • Free or discounted delivery may be offered via promotions, memberships, or vouchers as available.

  1. Packing, Handling, and Safety

  • Restaurants are responsible for food preparation and packaging; PezeA encourages tamper-evident seals and spill-safe packing.

  • Delivery partners are instructed to keep food upright and handle beverages carefully; hot and cold items are separated where feasible.

  • Temperature control is not guaranteed; for safety concerns or tampering, report via in-app Help within 24 hours with photos.

  1. Address, Access, and Contact

  • Accurate delivery address, landmarks, and contact number must be provided; incorrect or incomplete details can cause delays or cancellation.

  • If access is restricted (e.g., gated communities, offices), users should authorize entry or collect from the gate/desk as requested.

  • Delivery partners will attempt to contact via call/message; if unreachable after reasonable attempts and wait time, delivery may be marked unsuccessful.

  1. Delivery Attempts and Unsuccessful Delivery

  • Standard protocol includes up to two contact attempts and a wait time at the location; if unsuccessful, the order may be returned or disposed per food safety norms.

  • In cases of unsuccessful delivery due to customer unavailability or access issues, charges may apply per the Cancellation & Refund Policy.

  • For prepaid orders, refunds are not guaranteed if food has been prepared/dispatched and delivery failed due to customer-side issues.

  1. Special Instructions and No-Contact Delivery

  • Special instructions can be added at checkout (e.g., “leave at gate/desk”); drivers will follow where feasible and safe.

  • For no-contact delivery, the partner may call on arrival and leave the order at a safe spot; a delivery photo or call confirmation may be captured.

  • Alcohol, tobacco, or restricted items are not delivered unless expressly permitted by law and platform policy.

  1. Order Tracking and Notifications

  • Real-time tracking is available in-app from acceptance to delivery handoff.

  • Status updates are shared via push notifications/SMS; ensure notifications are enabled for timely updates.

  • Any material changes (substitutions, delays) will appear in-app; support can assist via Help/Support.

  1. Weather, Traffic, and Force Majeure

  • Severe weather, public safety orders, strikes, or major disruptions may impact delivery times or cause cancellations.

  • In such events, PezeA may restrict new orders, adjust ETAs, or cancel orders with full refunds for prepaid payments where service cannot be completed.

  • Safety of delivery partners and users is prioritized; routes may be adjusted or deliveries paused when necessary.

  1. Fees Transparency and Taxes

  • All applicable fees (item total, taxes, packaging, delivery, surge, small order fee) are shown before payment.

  • Tax treatment depends on the restaurant and jurisdiction; line items are displayed on the invoice.

  • Tips are optional and go to delivery partners where supported.

  1. Customer Responsibilities

  • Be available at the delivery location and on the provided phone number during the ETA window.

  • Inspect packaging upon receipt; report issues within 24 hours via in-app Help with photos when possible.

  • Avoid repeated last-minute cancellations or no-shows to prevent account action under platform rules.

  1. Returns, Exchanges, and Redelivery

  • Due to the perishable nature of food, returns are not accepted after delivery unless expressly approved by support for safety/quality issues.

  • Redelivery may be offered at PezeA’s discretion if service failure is verified; otherwise, additional fees may apply.

  • See the PezeA Cancellation & Refund Policy for remedies, timelines, and eligibility.

  1. Modifications

  • PezeA may update this policy to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes; the latest version in-app/website applies upon publication.
