5. Terms of Sale

5.1 General

You declare and guarantee that you possess the legal right to utilize the specified payment method that you provide and that we accept. By doing so, you grant us (or our third-party payment processor) permission to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase, which includes any applicable taxes and additional charges, collectively referred to as an "Order." If, for any reason, the payment method cannot be verified, is deemed invalid, or is otherwise unacceptable, your Order may be put on hold or canceled. To proceed with your Order, you are responsible for resolving any issues that may arise. If you wish to modify or update the payment information linked to your Lunch Smile account, you have the flexibility to do so at any time by accessing your account and making adjustments to your payment details.

All prices are displayed in U.S. dollars, and any applicable taxes and additional charges, if applicable, are not included in the displayed prices. We maintain the right to modify prices at our discretion, without prior notice. However, please note that we may not be able to inform you of changes in any applicable taxes.

The availability of all our lunches and ingredients is subject to stock. We have the prerogative to decline all or a portion of an Order, discontinue specific product offerings, and make substitutions (which may include meal ingredients or entire meals) without prior notification. If a substitution is made, you will still be responsible for the cost of the meal you receive.

We make every effort to provide accurate descriptions and representations of our food on our Site and in our marketing materials. However, since all our food is freshly prepared daily by our trusted vendors, there may be instances where the meal you receive doesn't precisely match the depiction or description. In some cases, we may provide a substitute meal if your original order is unavailable. You acknowledge that this is a normal occurrence, and you agree to accept such variations from the description or depiction, as long as they are reasonable.

We cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy or comprehensiveness of any meal description or depiction. We retain the right to modify or update these descriptions or depictions and to rectify any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time without prior notice.

You understand that when you place orders for future dates, you are committing to receive meals on those specified days and will be billed accordingly.

All sales are considered final. However, in the event of any unforeseen circumstances during the process of fulfilling your order, we retain the discretion to cancel your order for any reason. If we decide to cancel your entire order or a portion of it, we will provide a refund for any payment you have already made to us.

In case of unscheduled closure (for example snow days), we reserve the right to determine appropriate credit back to your child’s account. While it is our intention to provide an adequate credit (usually 50% of meal amount up to 3 days in an academic year) back to you, we make our final decision after assessing the impact of such cancellation to us and our suppliers.

6. Lunch Smile Payment Process

Our Service operates through a traditional checkout process for transactions. Once you have selected your lunches in your account, you have the flexibility to make updates until 11:59 PM EST of the last day of that ordering cycle. It is essential to complete the checkout process either on or before the last day of the order cycle. At that specific time, you will be charged for all the orders you have selected for that cycle.

When you sign up for Lunch Smile's service and add a credit or debit card to your account, you grant Lunch Smile permission to send instructions to the financial institution that issued your card, allowing them to process payments for the orders you have placed through the website. Lunch Smile may process these transactions either after you have confirmed your order or after you have received your orders. Detailed records of all charges can be found in the "Your Account" section on the Lunch Smile website.

7. Promotional Codes, Credits and Offers

To qualify for and receive any promotion and/or credit, you must meet the requirements indicated, as applicable, in the promotion and/or credit offer. You must have a valid Lunch Smile account with a valid form of accepted payment on file to take advantage of a promotion and/or credit. Promotional codes and credits must be used when placing an order, but may not be applied if all conditions are not met. Promotional codes and offers can only be redeemed for Lunch Smile orders and limitations apply to orders not delivered by Lunch Smile.

Promotional code discounts and credits cannot be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent. Offers are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, copied, transferred, bartered, modified or sold.

In cases where no expiration date is specified, Lunch Smile reserves the authority to deactivate the promotional code at any time. To utilize a promotional code and have it applied to an order, you should follow the instructions provided in the offer communication. It's important to note that promotional codes for credits cannot be used to offset taxes or fees. Some promotional codes may be restricted to a single use, as indicated in the offer. Unless the offer specifies otherwise, all promotional codes are limited to one use per LunchSmile account holder.
