Cancellation & Refund Policy
1. Policy Overview
This policy outlines the procedures for cancellations and refunds, specifically for our Tiffin Service subscriptions. For Party & Gym orders, cancellation terms are agreed upon offline during booking. For orders placed via Zomato, their cancellation and refund policies apply.
Two Types of Refunds:
- Subscription Balance Refunds: For members who cancel their tiffin subscription mid-cycle.
- Security Deposit Refunds: For members who wish to close their account permanently.
2. How to Initiate a Cancellation
All cancellations for tiffin subscriptions or permanent account closures **must be initiated by contacting The Saffron administration directly**. We do not offer an automated cancellation feature on the website. This ensures all outstanding balances and deposits are handled correctly.
3. Communication & Notifications
Important updates regarding your cancellation, refund status, and account changes will be communicated primarily through WhatsApp. You will receive notifications about:
- Confirmation of your cancellation request
- Refund processing status and timelines
- Account closure confirmations
- Any additional information required
4. Tiffin Subscription Cancellation & Refund
If you wish to cancel your active tiffin subscription, the following refund process applies:
- We will calculate the value of the remaining, unused meals in your current subscription cycle.
- A processing fee of 3% will be deducted from this remaining amount.
- The final refund amount will be processed to your original payment method (used on Razorpay) within 5-7 business days.
Example Subscription Refund:
A 3% processing fee will be deducted from your remaining subscription balance before the refund is processed.
5. Account Closure & Security Deposit Refund
If you decide to permanently close your account, you are eligible for a full refund of your security deposit. This process is handled as follows:
- After you contact us to close your account, we will first process any outstanding subscription refunds as detailed in Section 3.
- Once all balances are cleared, we will process the full security deposit refund. This is handled offline and is separate from the subscription refund.
- Upon refunding the deposit, your account will be deactivated. You can request to reactivate your account in the future, subject to our policies at that time.
6. Quality & Delivery Issues
If you experience any issues with food quality or delivery, please contact us immediately. We will investigate the issue and may offer a replacement, a partial refund, or a credit to your account, depending on the circumstances. These are handled on a case-by-case basis.
