Restaurant-issued Gift Certificates are not refundable or eligible for return or exchange, unless the restaurant or businesses is permanently closed at the time the Gift Certificate was sold or awarded as a prize. Restaurant and business owners have legal obligations to Gift Certificate holders, even if the restaurant or business closes permanently. Menu Joy is unable to assist Gift Certificate holders in recovering the value of Gift Certificates if a restaurant or business permanently closes. |
|
| Purchase limit of five Menu Joy-issued Gift Certificates per restaurant per household per month. (This amount may decrease over time as supplies are depleted more rapidly. See item 1.1 above.) | |
| Orders paid with Credit Cards or PayPal, are normally shipped within 24 hours after receipt of payment, but may take up to two weeks due to circumstances. Gift Certificates won on eBay auctions are normally shipped with one week after auction close, but may take up to three weeks due to circumstances. |
|
| Special promotions and discounts that periodically appear on Menu Joy do not apply to previous orders. | |
|
Occasionally, a restaurant which has agreed to redeem Menu Joy-issued Gift Certificates will fail to fulfill its obligation to Menu Joy and its customers. Menu Joy regrets any inconvenience caused by such restaurants. Under these circumstances, Menu Joy will issue refunds or exchanges for Menu Joy certificates upon request. The primary reason that owners of small restaurants decide to refuse the Menu Joy-issued certificates is due to Menu Joy customers only ordering enough food to cover the certificates. Restaurant owners would much prefer to see a mix of cash together with the Menu Joy certificates. (See item 1.1 above.) |
