Refund Policy

Last updated: March 2024

Overview

At FoodBase, we want you to be completely satisfied with our service. This Refund Policy outlines the circumstances under which refunds will be issued for subscription fees paid to FoodBase. Please read this policy carefully to understand our refund practices.

1. Subscription Refunds

14-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If you're not completely satisfied with FoodBase within the first 14 days of your subscription, we offer a full refund of your subscription fee. This applies to all plans: Starter, Professional, and Enterprise. To request a refund within this period, simply contact our support team at support@foodbase.ng with your account details and reason for the refund request. We will process your refund within 5-7 business days after approval.

Partial Month Refunds

If you cancel your subscription mid-month, you will receive a pro-rated refund for the unused portion of your subscription, calculated on a daily basis. For example, if you paid ₦15,000 for a 30-day month and cancel after 10 days of use, you will receive a refund of ₦10,000 (calculated as ₦500/day × 20 remaining days). Pro-rated refunds are automatically processed within 7-10 business days of cancellation.

2. Payment Processing Refunds

FoodBase does not directly hold customer order payments. All customer payments are processed through Paystack and transferred directly to your restaurant's account. Transaction fees (1.5% + ₦100 per transaction) charged by Paystack are non-refundable as they represent the cost of payment processing services. For refunds related to customer orders, please refer to our dispute resolution process or contact Paystack directly.

3. Non-Refundable Items

The following items and services are non-refundable:

  • • Paystack transaction fees
  • • Premium support add-ons once services have been rendered
  • • Training and onboarding sessions completed
  • • Custom development or integrations requested and completed
  • • Annual subscriptions (outside the 14-day period)
  • • Monthly subscriptions after 14 days from initial purchase

4. How to Request a Refund

To request a refund, follow these steps:

Step 1: Contact Support

Email support@foodbase.ng with your account email address and the reason for your refund request. Include any relevant details that help us understand your request better.

Step 2: Verification

Our support team will verify your request and confirm your eligibility for a refund based on this policy. We may ask clarifying questions about your subscription or experience with FoodBase.

Step 3: Approval and Processing

Once approved, we will initiate the refund to your original payment method. Refunds are processed within 5-10 business days, though your bank may take an additional 2-5 business days to credit the amount to your account.

5. Refund Processing Timeline

  • • Request submitted: Same day acknowledgment
  • • Verification: 1-2 business days
  • • Refund processing: 5-7 business days from approval
  • • Bank processing: 2-5 additional business days
  • • Total timeframe: 10-15 business days

6. Refunds for Canceled Accounts

If your FoodBase account is canceled due to violation of our Terms of Service, you are not eligible for a refund of subscription fees. However, refunds of customer payments processed through FoodBase (minus applicable transaction fees) may be provided on a case-by-case basis after investigation. Contact our support team for further discussion.

7. Dispute Resolution

If you believe you are entitled to a refund that has been denied, or if you have additional questions about our refund policy, please contact our support team at support@foodbase.ng or legal@foodbase.ng. We will review your case and provide a response within 10 business days. We're committed to resolving disputes fairly and maintaining positive relationships with our customers.

8. Policy Changes

FoodBase reserves the right to modify this Refund Policy at any time. Changes will be communicated via email to all active subscribers at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of FoodBase after notification of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. Your rights under this policy are not diminished for subscriptions purchased before any policy changes.
